| The crimes against humanity in Ardmore, Oklahomanoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 23 Jan 05:00 AM Last week the Jerusalem municipality demolished two h | | Last week the Jerusalem municipality demolished two homes built illegally on land that didn't belong to the residents. Ma'an News has an op-ed by the Palestinian "ambassador" to Portugal describing this as a crime against humanity.
Among things that this Palestinian official says are:
It is an embodiment of the Zionist nature in the ethnic cleansing of the owners of the land..... Whoever committed this heinous crime against the Al-Salihiya family of Jerusalem is not a human being. It is a crime against humanity par excellence, is a stain on humanity's forehead and a thorn in what remains of the human conscience. The Palestinians are the incubator of its three monotheistic religions....What is happening in Sheikh Jarrah is demolition and Judaization with the aim of ethnic cleansing of the grandchildren of the builders of this holy city, the Palestinians.
In the small town of Ardmore, Oklahoma, population 25,000, 80 houses were demolished between July and December of 2021. If Israel demolishing two houses is a crime against humanity, then what is the demolition of eighty homes in a tiny town in Oklahoma?
House demolitions are part of local government around the world. Only when Israel does it, and when the people who broke the law are Arabs, does it become a huge international incident...Read More |
From Iran's International Quran News Agency: Muhammad al-Awadi withdrew from the J4 Dubai Tournament 2022 that is taking place in the UAE city from January 17 to 22, 2022, Al-Alam reported. Social media activists lauded the move as a rejection of normalization of ties with the Zionist occupiers of Palestine. They also regarded it as being in line with Kuwait's support for the Palestinian cause. Yusuf al-Sanad, a member of the Persian Gulf Scholars Union, wrote n Twitter that the Kuwaiti hero announced his withdrawal from the competition in solidarity with the people of Palestine and in rejction of the Zionist regime's terrorism. Osama al-Shaheen, a member of Kuwait's parliament also tweeted, "Greetings and thanks to the Kuwaiti hero Muhammad al-Awadi for his refusal to normalize sports competition with the Zionists." The Youths for Al-Quds Society wrote on its Instagram page that normalization with the Israeli regime is an act of treachery and that the Kuwaiti tennis player's move is worthy of praise. If the Arab nations that would refuse to play against Israeli opponents wanted to be consistent, they shouldn't enter any tournaments that allow Israeli players to begin with. They should boycott them because they are "normalizing" with Israel. By entering the tournaments, they are agreeing that it is an honor to compete in the tournaments to begin with even...Read More |
Khaberni, which is a pan-Arab site but most popular in Jordan, has a fluff article about whether incense can help cure envy.
The article mentions that "Envy is one of the characteristics of the Jews." Later it says, "The envious person is similar to the Jews, because the Jews envy people for the blessings that God has given them."
And just in case you don't get the message, it adds, "The envious person is a vile person because he does not like good for others."
This is the sort of everyday antisemitism in Arab media that is simply ignored in the West.
Islam does not recommend incense to cure envy, by the way. * * * * * *

From Ian: People Love Dead Jews—What About Living Ones? America has a Jewish problem. It's strange to write that sentence, but the numbers are plain. Ninety percent of American Jews say antisemitism is a problem in the United States. Eighty-two percent say it has increased in the last five years. And this isn't simply a Trump-era phenomenon: those who say American Jews are less secure now than a year ago outnumber those who say conditions are better by three-to-one. These numbers pre-date the January 15 hostage crisis in a Colleyville, Texas synagogue. They represent something that's been in progress much longer: the resettling of scenery after the American Jewish community's pre-pandemic annus horribilis. One crisis supplanted another, but the worry continued to simmer: that the post-war story of Jews in America was simply a happy chapter in a longer and more complicated relationship. In October 2018, a gunman murdered 11 Jews at prayer in Pittsburgh; the following April, another shooter entered a synagogue outside San Diego. All the while, greater New York endured a spike in targeted street violence against Haredi Jews that culminated when, in December, attackers sought out Jews to murder at a kosher supermarket in New Jersey (but only because they couldn't get into the Jewish elementary school next door, where dozens of children hid) and, two weeks later, at a Chanukah party in upstate...Read More |
From Ian: Melanie Phillips: A lethal state of denial The Islamophobia canard has been eagerly endorsed by those in the wider community for whom the very concept of Jewish victimisation is a problem. That pathology is on regular display at the BBC, which has been doubling down on its apparently baseless report last month that orthodox Jewish teenagers set upon by Muslim men in an antisemitic attack in the centre of London themselves voiced an anti-Muslim slur. The deep reluctance by the wider community to acknowledge Muslim antisemitism has been further facilitated by the silence of British Jews on this issue. For the community's leaders never mention it. Instead, they lash out at any Jew who dares call it out. At the Board of Deputies, 46 left-wing members are demanding that the Jewish National Fund UK charity gets rid of its chairman, Samuel Hayek, over his "Islamophobic" suggestion that Jews might soon be forced out of the United Kingdom because of the rising number of Muslims who hate or want to harm Jewish people. This misplaced attack by Jewish liberals is idiotic and disgraceful. For antisemitism is not only rampant in the Muslim world but is absolutely central to Islamic extremism. Numerous Islamist terrorists have made it clear that, in attacking the west, their most fundamental target is the Jews. At war against modernity, they believe that behind modernity stand the Jews — who they think...Read More |
From Ian: Gil Troy: Remember Deir Yassin! Deir Yassin. For decades it was the main count in the Palestinian indictment against Zionism and Israel. In the 1970s, when Palestinian terrorists butchered schoolkids and Olympic athletes, they and their supporters cried "remember Deir Yassin!" In the 2000s, when Palestinian leaders blew up the Oslo Peace Process by dispatching suicide bombers to Israeli buses and cafes, they and their supporters cried "remember Deir Yassin!" Even today, the massacre of 254 Arabs, including 25 pregnant women, 50 breastfeeding mothers, and 60 other women—followed by mass rapes and other atrocities in this pastoral village just outside Jerusalem—remains one of the prime movers of anti-Zionism, an often-invoked justification for the rejectionism and crimes of Palestinian extremists. In their still-defining book on 1948, O Jerusalem, Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre describe Jews cutting open a pregnant woman's stomach "with a butcher's knife," and slashing at least two people "from head to toe," as they "killed" and "looted," then, "finally they raped." But what if, as professor Eliezer Tauber argues in his new book, Deir Yassin is The Massacre That Never Was? Tauber's book, subtitled The Myth of Deir Yassin and the Creation of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, may have been 2021's most snubbed yet significant scholarly work. Originally published in Hebrew...Read More |
As we've seen many times, there are daily headlines in Arab media from Algeria to Iraq of "fanatic Jewish settlers storming Al Aqsa mosque" when Jews quietly roam and tour the Temple Mount.
But that evergreen headline changes on Fridays.
On Fridays, Jews aren't permitted to ascend, and tens of thousands of Muslims go for Friday prayers.
The Arab media theme every Friday looks like this: Tens of thousands performed Friday prayers in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, despite the strict military measures imposed by the Israeli occupation authorities at the gates and entrances to the Old City of occupied Jerusalem. The Department of Islamic Endowments in Jerusalem estimated that about 50,000 worshipers performed Friday prayers in Al-Aqsa compound. The occupation police prevented the worshipers from entering the mosque, who flocked since the morning hours, through careful inspections of their belongings, and checking their personal identities. The occupation forces deployed in the streets of the city and the vicinity of Al-Aqsa, stationed at its gates, stopped the worshipers, checked their ID cards, and prevented the entry...Read More |
Over the years, this site and others have lampooned BDSers who use Israeli products (or go to Israeli universities) while telling everyone else to boycott Israel.\
It looks like this kind of boycott hypocrisy has been around for a while.
I found this article about how Arabs who pretended to be following the anti-Jewish boycott, and even boycott leaders, would use Jewish products when it made their lives easier.
Just like today.
From the Chicago Tribune, October 15, 1946. ARABS CONNIVE WITH JEWS AND EVADE BOYCOTT
Zionist Products Given Moslem Labels BY CLAY GOWRAN [Chicago Tribune Press Service] JERUSALEM. Palestine, Oct. 14— Since last December, top ranking leaders of the Arab world have been attempting to enforce a rigid boycott of Palestinian Jewish products in the Moslem states as a protest against Zionism. Amusing details of how the boycott works, or rather fails to work, were revealed today in the Holy City. As conceived by the Arab League, the boycott was designed to close the entire middle east Arab world to Jewish goods. All Arab nations passed stringent measures forbidding the importation of Jewish products. then sat back to wait for the Jewish economy in Palestine to topple. However...Read More |
