| A Jewish woman rips apart an antisemite, 1922. (The antisemite has a dorm named after him in a Maryland college, today.)noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) | | The Baltimore Evening Sun reported on April 5, 1922, about an antisemitic sermon given by the Albert Norman Ward, president of Western Maryland College, at the opening of the Maryland Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church. He said that the Jews controlled New York City and have taken the Bible out of the public schools. A Jewish woman wrote a letter to the editor of the Evening Sun, where she politely destroyed Ward's speech: By the way, even today, there is a dormitory at what is now called McDaniel College named after the bigoted Albert Norman Ward. I wonder if the people who are upset over buildings named after Jefferson or Washington would object to Albert Norman Ward Hall. Somehow I don't think they would. But I'm willing to be proven wrong. I filled out a complaint at McDaniel College's Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, asking why they still have a dorm named after an antisemite. We'll see if they contact me. * * * * * *

From Ian: Has the Palestinian 'apartheid assault' backfired? Today, as Israeli Arab affairs commentator Jackie Hugi has noted, Abbas and the PA sit isolated, alienated, and bankrupt among the leading members of the Arab League. The PA committed political harakiri in 2020 when Abbas condemned Arab signatories to the Abraham Accords including United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, as well as Morocco and Sudan, for normalizing relations with Israel. In Abbas' unprecedented public assault against Arab allies, he accused them of "stabbing the Palestinians in the back and betraying the al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, and the Palestinian cause." Palestinian fury at Arab-Israel normalization brought the Palestinian Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheik Mohammed Hussein, to issue a fatwa -an Islamic religious ruling- prohibiting leaders from Arab states, or any Muslim who normalized relations with Israel, from worshipping at Jerusalem's al-Aqsa Mosque. Arab countries reacted with unparalleled contempt towards the PA. Saudi Arabia's former intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan branded the PA and its leadership "failures," and called Abbas' snub a "transgression" and "reprehensible discourse." Abbas convened Palestinian terror group leaders including arch-rivals, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, to coordinate responses and actions in opposition to the accords. Arab powers viewed Abbas' destabilizing moves with contempt, particularly his...Read More |
It had to happen.
Al Quds has an article, "The unreported side of the Texas synagogue attack," where the author claims:
\* Israeli (and American!) media didn't report anything about Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker throwing the chair at the gunman and sparking the escape.
\* The reason there is no coverage of Rabbi Walker is because he calls Israel an "apartheid state" and this embarrasses Jews who, it is implied, own the media.
Of course, the Jewish and Israeli media have had lengthy interviews with Cytron-Walker, and he is pro-Israel. Cytron-Walker said, he does not believe Israel is an apartheid state. "When I teach about Israel, I teach about how Israel is complicated. I'm a huge supporter of Israel," he said, noting that the synagogue's education program works with the Ofek Learning Hub to have Israeli teachers leading online learning for youth programs, and that "we sing 'Hatikvah' [the Israeli national anthem] at the end of every religious school."On Congregation Beth Israel's webpage, it shows that...Read More |
The Yasser Arafat Museum in Ramallah just opened a new exhibit. Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh opened the"Palestine and Yasser Arafat" cartoon exhibition, at the exhibition hall of Yasser Arafat Museum, Sunday, January 23, 2022. The opening was also attended by Dr. Ahmed Sobh, Director General of the Yasser Arafat Foundation, members of the Museum Committee, and Palestinian and foreign political, cultural and media figures. During the opening, the Prime Minister said: 43 countries participated in this exceptional exhibition, to an exceptional man, which reflects the extent of international solidarity with Palestine, the firm roots in the memory of Yasser Arafat in the international community and the heart of every Palestinian and Arab and everyone who loves peace and freedom in the world. So because they got artists from 43 countries to contribute, that means that everyone loved Arafat? This is a stretch, so say the least. The exhibit included cartoons of Arafat as well as some of the usual anti-Israel cartoons. But some of the caricatures upset some Palestinians, who bullied the museum to take them down! They removed the cartoons that "did not receive an understanding from Palestinian public opinion." They claim they can run a state, but they can't even run a cartoon exhibition! Meanwhile, the generic anti-Israel pictures with depictions of bombs with the Star...Read More |
From Ian: Jonathan Tobin: 'Stolen land' myth doesn't stand the test of reality One of the tragicomic if all too prevalent customs of contemporary woke corporate culture is the way many groups and corporations now open meetings with ritual acknowledgments that they are on "stolen land." It involves the convener of the gathering to begin any proceedings by first stating that those speaking are "on the lands" of whatever Native American tribe once lived there as the indigenous inhabitants of the North American continent. That is part of the context of the claim that the State of Israel was built on "stolen land," a phrase that was used by Hussain Altamimi, one of New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's staffers when he smeared it as a "racist-European ethnostate." Unsurprisingly, Altamimi didn't lose his job when this came out. Why would AOC fire someone who reflects the same hatred of the Jewish state that she and other "Squad" colleagues have often expressed? This is a commonplace myth spread by those who believe in intersectional ideology, which deems the efforts of all oppressed "people of color" to resist the racist oppression of those possessing "white privilege" to be part of one great righteous struggle. Part of the problem with this facile and toxic idea is that whatever you think the answer to the question about the identity of the rightful owners of the North American...Read More |
StopAntisemitism received these photos of material that Joseph Massad is teaching in his Columbia University "Palestinian/Israeli Conflict" course. It came from a student taking the course. Ths comes from "Holy land, hollow jubilee: God, justice and the Palestinians" which is a collection of speeches given at the1998 Sabeel International Conference. Sabeel is the antisemitic Palestinian Christian organization that preaches Christian supersessionism. The co-editor of the book, Naim Ateek, is an antisemite. The quote here is undeniably antisemitic, saying that Jews collaborated in the Holocaust. Zionists were trying to save Jewish lives, Nazis were trying to destroy Jewish lives. If this isn't antisemitic, nothing is. And this is in a curriculum of a Columbia University professor. This is from an out of print book published in 1967 before the Six Day War. Commentary wrote a review: Anyone who has ever perused a John Birch Society pamphlet about the Communist Conspiracy will experience a similar sensation on reading this little book about Israel and Zionism. An impressive mass of data and facts has...Read More |
Palestinian Labor Minister Nasri Abu Jaish announced a program to try to fund jobs for Palestinian women, as he announced the news that 6,250 women work in Jewish settlements. About 20,000 Palestinians altogether work in the settlements, out of roughly 140,000 who work for Israelis altogether. This contributes a significant proportion of the Palestinian GDP, since 18.6% of all West Bank workers are working for Israelis.
In the Palestinian labor market altogether, only about 22% of workers are women, which means that proportionately, the hated settlements provide more opportunity for women than the local market.
On average, Israelis pay Palestinians more than double the salaries they receive for local jobs. The Q4 2020 Labour Force Survey for Palestinians shows that the average daily wage for those working in Israel and in settlements was 260.8 shekels compared to 123.5 shekels in the West Bank and 65.6 shekels in Gaza. The Palestinian Labor ministry is alarmed at so many women working for "settlers" so they announced yet another program to encourage the women to work locally. They started a program worth 10 million shekels to provide jobs for women in the Jordan Valley. Every previous time that they tried to discourage Palestinians from working for Israelis they have failed, badly. There is no reason to think this initiative will do any better - the average Palestinian is not going...Read More |
