| Retired Jordanian Lieutenant-General: Jews are greedy!noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 07 Jan 05:45 AM Retired Jordanian Lieutenant-General Musa Al-Ad | | Retired Jordanian Lieutenant-General Musa Al-Adwan writes frequently in Jordanian news media. His latest piece in Sawalief extends a popular myth about the Rothschild family. Up until a few years ago, many historians believed that Nathan Rothschild had gotten early information about Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, and parlayed that into making a fortune in the British stock exchange. The story has changed from Rothschild being at Waterloo himself, to his having a network of people with swift boats to get him the news early.
The source of the story was an antisemitic pamphlet published 30 years after the event by someone who called himself "Satan." In fact, Rothschild did not get the information about the war until about the same time as other financial titans. The story of Rothschild making millions from the news was debunked a couple of years ago.
Musa al-Adwan is not safistied with the already fabricated story...Read More |
From Ian: Gene Simmons, Nick Cave blast anti-Israeli boycott of Sydney Festival But Hollywood heavyweights, including Nancy Spielberg, as well as KISS frontman Gene Simmons signed an open letter yesterday urging Australians to resist attempts at censorship for political purposes. "While art can reflect politics and artists can choose to reflect their politics in their own art, art should never become subservient to politics, and artists and cultural events should never be forced to be politicised," the letter said. Warner Records chief executive Aaron Bay-Schuck and Australian musician Nick Cave were also among the 120 signatories to the letter, co-ordinated by the Creative Community for Peace — a non-profit group promoting the arts as a means to counter anti-Semitism and oppose the cultural boycott of Israel. The $20,000 reportedly paid by the Israeli embassy went to supporting the presentation of Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin's Decadance at the Sydney Opera House from Thursday.

Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory. Check out their Facebook page. Tel Aviv, January 6 - A resident of the affluent northern section of Israel's commercial and financial center expresses disgust and animosity toward those who disregard what she touts as the objective, clinical, and therefore unimpeachable approach to policy questions such as COVID mitigation, while she ignores more robust evidence undermining her political assumptions regarding her people's origins. Adi Bar-Lev, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Tel Aviv University, rails at colleagues, students, and fellow Israeli citizens who fail to maintain adherence to government and institutional distancing, masking, isolation, and vaccination guidelines, even as a consistent stream of studies has demonstrated the questionable benefit of such guidelines, which were based on flawed modeling and framing. At the same time, Professor Bar-Lev insists Jews have no historical, legal, moral, or other claim to the land on which they have established a state of their own, a position that flies in the face of mountainous genetic, archaeological, documentary, and cultural evidence that Jews emerged as a people in what is now Israel several thousand years ago and have maintained their distinct character despite centuries of exile and dispersion. "Those who refuse to follow...Read More |
From Ian: Dutch Government Cuts Funding to Leading Palestinian NGO, Citing Extensive Individual Ties With PFLP Terror Organization The Dutch government on Wednesday announced that it was cutting funds to a Palestinian NGO working in the agricultural sector over its ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) — designated as a terrorist organization by the US, the European Union, Israel, Australia, Canada and Japan. The decision means that the Netherlands will not pay out the next installment of an aid grant to the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), a Palestinian NGO that has so far received approximately $25 million of Dutch taxpayer money. In a lengthy joint statement, Ben Knapen, the Dutch Foreign Minister, and Tom De Bruijn, the Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development, said that research commissioned by the Netherlands cabinet from an independent consultancy had "provided sufficient evidence that there were ties at the individual level between UAWC staff and board members and the PFLP for a considerable period of time." The statement noted that "for the government, the findings on individual links between the UAWC and the PFLP and the lack of openness about this from the UAWC, also during the investigation, are sufficient reason to stop financing the activities...Read More |

This morning, a Palestinian man on his way to work was hit by a car while crossing the street and died. Palestinian media say that the driver was a Jewish settler.
The Palestinian ministry of foreign affairs condemned what it called "the deliberate run-over crimes committed by the occupation forces and settlers against Palestinian citizens, which are escalating and spreading in more than one location in the occupied West Bank" and said that they consider them an intentional attempt to kill Palestinians and "an extension of a racist colonial mentality that harass the life of the Palestinian citizen in various ways."
There is no campaign by Israel - or Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria - to run over Palestinians. There have been accidents of Jews hitting Palestinians,and Palestinians hitting other Palestinians.
But Palestinians continue to purposefully target Jews with car ramming attacks, today.
We've seen Palestinian psychological projection before, but this is as blatant a case as can be imagined. Because the Palestinian car ramming attacks are explicitly antisemitic, explicitly deliberate and explicitly celebrated.
Don't believe me? Here's a sample of cartoons over the past few years that encourage Palestinians to run over Jews, and that make fun of Jews who don't want to be run over. As usual, the Palestinians accuse the Jews of doing what they themselves do - or would do if they had the opportunity...Read More |
Abu Ali Express reports that Hamas political leader Mahmoud Zahar has used a derogatory Arabic equivalent of "gay" to insult Arab nations that have made peace with Israel. In recent days, al-Zahar has led ceremonies in #Gaza on behalf of Hamas to mark the second anniversary of the assassination of Qasem Soleimani. In one of these ceremonies, al-Zahar gave a speech in which he used the word "شواذ" (Shawath), a derogatory term in the Arabic language for homosexuals, to describe those who were happy with the assassination of Soleimani. According to him, these "Arab Zionists" are the same "gays of the Arab Ummah" who normalized relations with Israel. "Shawath" literally means "deviant." This is not the first time a prominent Palestinian has used that term as an insult. In 2019, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri who is head of the Supreme Islamic Council and the preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque, said that some of the buildings that Jews are buying in Jerusalem from Arabs are sold by "rogue homosexuals and the owners of sick and malicious souls."
