| Muslim world protests Arab News adding a rabbi as a columnistnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Jan 04:30 AM Last week, the Saudi English-language ne | | Last week, the Saudi English-language news site Arab News brought Rabbi Marc Schneier as an op-ed columnist. Given that Schneier is not an Israeli citizen, this makes this a good test to see which Arabs are antisemitic. anyone who opposes this appointment has to explain their reasons why they are against a Jew.
Iran's Press TV called this a "surprising decision," and tied this to rumors that Israel and Saudi Arabia will establish relations. The Palestinian Media Forum in Gaza condemned the move, calling it a "dangerous penetration of the awareness of Arab generations." They called it "a promotion of intellectual poison in the Arab community, in addition to the obliteration of the crimes of the occupation against Islamic sanctities, foremost of which is the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and denying the torments of about 20 Palestinian journalists languishing in the prisons of the occupation." They added that "opening the door for Rabbi Marc Schneier to address the Arab public constitutes a dangerous breach of the awareness of Arab generations, and provides a free service to the occupation without the slightest Arab benefit from such normalization." In other words, Arabs might read opinions that they shouldn't be exposed to. Palestinian news site Amad has a short commentary...Read More |
I am watching the TV series Checkout on Chaiflicks. It is brilliantly funny.
It uses the techniques of a mock documentary like The Office or Parks and Recreation, but this is Israel - the characters don't pretend that they aren't on camera and they talk with the unseen camera operators, who sometimes add their own jokes. You can watch the first three episodes for free. The third episode itself is the best retort to anyone who says Israel is racist. The episode makes fun of the subconscious racism and bigotry of the characters, as it begins with the news of a stabbing attack not far from the supermarket. A racist customer insists that the sweet, guileless Arab employee be gotten rid of. Meanwhile, a cashier is upset that her son is flirting with an Ethiopian cashier - with hilarious results. A racist society could not produce such a show. It is beyond imagination to see a plotline like this in the Arab world. Anyone who calls Israel racist is an antisemite, period. Real racists can't make fun of their own racism. * * * * * *

From Ian: Yes, the Colleyville synagogue attack was 'specifically' targeting Jews Soon after the FBI freed four hostages held by a gunman for 11 hours at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas on Saturday, Special Agent in Charge of the Dallas Field Office Matthew Desarno made a truly baffling statement. "We do believe from our engagement with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community, but we are continuing to work to find motive," Desarno said. The idea that any attack on a synagogue is "not specifically related to the Jewish community" is absurd enough. Even with the broadest definition of who is considered Jewish, Jews make up only 2.4% of all American adults, and only 0.6% of the population of Texas. It beggars belief, in most cases and in this one in particular, that someone outside the densest Jewish populations in America would have randomly stumbled upon a synagogue while looking for people to hold hostage. Add to that the fact that the gunman entered Congregation Beth Israel on a Saturday morning, when Shabbat services are held. The timing was clearly intentional.Law enforcement vehicles are seen in the area where a man has reportedly taken people hostage at a synagogue during services that were being streamed live, in Colleyville, Texas, US, January 15, 2022. But the specifics of this crime also show a deep current of...Read More |

An FBI spokesperson said that the terrorist in Congregation Beth Israel "was singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community,"
Yes, he was focused on the release of Aafia Siddiqui, the Al Qaeda terrorist that is also a favorite cause of CAIR, Linda Sarsour and other Islamist sympathizers. But then the question is obvious: why attack a synagogue and take Jews hostage?
The answer is just as obvious if you know anything about Muslim antisemitism: Because they, like the Nazis and countless antisemites before them, believe that Jews run the world - and especially America.
Aafia Siddiqui's arrest and sentencing had nothing to do with Jews. but she was convinced that Jews and Israel were responsible for her capture and imprisonment.
Where did she get that idea? From their leaders!
Osama Bin Laden said in a well-circulated video only months before 9/11, "Jews are free in al-Quds to rape Muslim women and to imprison the young cubs who stand up to them. The blood of Muslims is the cheapest of all blood!...We speak of an American government, but it is in reality an Israeli government, because if we look at the most sensitive departments of the government, whether it is the Pentagon or the State Department or the CIA, you find that it is the Jews who have first word in the American government."
America is a target because it is controlled by Jews. As Deborah Scroggins writes in her...Read More |
Historian Rafael Medoff uncovers an amazing episode in American history: Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year will be commemorated just before the 75th anniversary of a remarkable but little-known campaign by American Zionists and African-Americans that helped defeat racial segregation in Baltimore, Maryland. This story began in the autumn of 1946, when the Zionist activists known as the Bergson Group sponsored a Broadway play called A Flag is Born, authored by the Academy Award-winning screenwriter and playwright Ben Hecht. Starring young Marlon Brando and Yiddish theater luminaries Paul Muni and Celia Adler, A Flag is Born depicted the plight of Holocaust survivors in postwar Europe and the fight for Jewish independence in British Mandatory Palestine. After a successful 10-week run on Broadway, A Flag is Born was scheduled to be performed in various cities around the country, including the National Theater in Washington, DC. However, the National Theater barred African-Americans. Hecht and 32 other prominent playwrights had recently announced they would not permit their works to be staged in such theaters. Hence, the Washington performance was rescheduled to the Maryland Theater in Baltimore. But the controversy was not over. It turned out that while the Maryland Theater did not bar African-Americans, it did restrict them to the balcony, which bigots nicknamed with a derogatory phrase. Alerted by local NAACP activists...Read More |
It's been raining heavily in the Levant, causing some localized flooding throughout the region.
And, like every year, Gaza officials are blaming their own flooding on Israel opening up non-existent dams. The Nusseirat Municipality in the central Gaza Strip "confirmed" that the "Israeli occupation" opened the dams around of Wadi Beit Hanoun, threatening an environmental catastrophe, as the opening of dams leads to the flooding of the stream and the flooding of neighboring areas and houses. The head of Hamas's Winter Emergency Committee, Zuhdi Al-Ghariz, also said that "the Israeli occupation opened dams in the east and north of the Gaza Strip on Sunday, which threatens to cause a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe for the people of the Strip." Back in 2015, after AFP parroted the absurd claims to widespread derision, the French press agency belatedly went to the Negev to see if any dams existed and found that it was a Palestinian conspiracy theory with no basis in reality.
In fact...Read More |
