Arab Hebron is falling apart with security chaosnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 07 Feb 05:45 AM Two rival clans, the Al-Owaiwi and Al-Jabari families Like   Tweet   Arab Hebron is falling apart with security chaos noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 07 Feb 05:45 AM Two rival clans, the Al-Owaiwi and Al-Jabari families, have been openly fighting in Hebron and the police are nowhere to be found. Videos show automatic machine gun fire aimed at the opposing family's shops, and one scene appears to be inside a mall. Three civilians were injured by gunfire on Sunday, including an 11 year old boy shot in the chest. The feud between the clans was re-ignited last year when one member of the Al-Owaiwi family killed a member of Al-Jaabari family in a revenge act for the murder of a relative more than 15 years ago. A mass rally in Hebron called for a solution to the security chaos as well as an end to high prices. The PA's hold on things is fraying badly. And when Abbas dies, things are going to get very ugly. * * * * * * ...Read More A boy dies in a well in Morocco. Palestinians want the story to be about them! noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 06 Feb 03:30 PM Palestinians really hate when there are any news stories that don't put them at the center. For the past five days, the Arab world and then the world at large held its breath, hoping that a five year old boy named Rayan would be rescued from the well that he had fallen down last Tuesday. Unfortunately, today we found out that he did not survive. The official Palestinian newspaper Al Hayat published an op-ed by Dr. Jamal Abdel Nasser Mohammed Abdullah Abu Nahl, President of the National Center for Palestinian Scholars, on the story. After perfunctorily saying that Rayan's death was a tragedy and he's really sorry, he said that famous "but..." that Palestinians and their supporters love to add. Rayan suffered...but what about Palestinians? Palestinians have people in Israeli prisons - and they did nothing wrong, only killing Jews for defending their dignity! Rayan's mother may be mourning, but what about Palestinian mothers of martyrs? Thousands like Rayan were martyred, he says, and their pure blood remains a living witness to the crimes, fascism, Nazism, barbarism, racism and sadism of the usurping occupation gang of Palestine; the usurping Jews who do not want peace or harmony! And even as Jews are killing thousands of Rayans, Arab nations like Morocco are normalizing relations with the hated Zionist entity! It is because of...Read More 02/06 Links: Amnesty International Tries to Put Israel on Trial; After Israel, Ben & Jerry's attacks US Ukraine policy; Kuwait bans 'Death on the Nile' film over Israeli actress Gal Gadot noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 06 Feb 01:00 PM From Ian: Elliot Kaufman (WSJ$): Amnesty International Tries to Put Israel on Trial Boycott, marginalization and even violent resistance follow from the apartheid label. In 1975, a year after South Africa's diplomatic credentials were rejected, the Organization of the Islamic Conference sought to expel Israel from the U.N. as well. This failed, but as a consolation prize, the U.N. passed the "Zionism Is Racism" resolution. This diplomatic offensive was the new stage in the Arab war against the Jews, after military force had failed for the last time in 1973. In 1982 the General Assembly recommended "all Member States to cease forthwith . . . all dealings with Israel in order to totally isolate it in all fields." In Resolution 37/43, also passed in 1982, the General Assembly grouped Israel with South Africa and affirmed "the legitimacy of the struggle . . . by all available means, including armed struggle." Who today would deny that the African National Congress had a right to fight Pretoria? The same was meant to apply to Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorism against Jerusalem. The U.N. reaffirmed this right to armed struggle many times, thwarting general treaties against terrorism. The OIC insisted that "anti-Israel militants be exempted," reported the Washington Post in November 2001. Whereas the sponsors of Resolution 37...Read More It's 2022, and antisemites are still saying "Jews are poisoning the wells" noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 06 Feb 11:12 AM Qaryout Arab and Iranian media are claiming that Jews poisoned a spring in Qaryut, near Shiloh. Israeli settlers on Friday intentionally polluted the water of a spring in the West Bank village of Qaryout, north of Nablus, Anadolu Agency reported. "The settlers raided the area, broke the lock of the water spring, damaged the fence around it and poured unknown material with a dirty smell in the water," activist Bashar Al-Qaryouti confirmed. He added: "They did so to turn the water unsafe for drinking or farming." I couldn't find the Anadolu Agency article. And there is no original reporting of this in Palestinian media. They are all quoting Turkish media about something that supposedly happened in their backyard. No photos of the damaged fence or broken lock. No interviews of any witnesses. No mention in Haaretz. Just quotes of an anti-Israel activist talking, for some reason, to a Turkish news agency instead of the local media. They say there are only seven basic plots of stories and everything is a variation. I have a feeling that there are only seven basic antisemitic libels as well (Jews spreading disease, Jews secretly controlling institutions, Jews faking history, Jews being guilty of the worst possible crime in any age...), but the world is as insatiable in wanting to hear the variants of the Jew-hate story as they are for all other fiction. * * * * * * ...Read More The exact same playbook @Amnesty and @HRW took on "apartheid" can be used to accuse Israel of "genocide" noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 06 Feb 08:08 AM The path that Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch took to declare Israel guilty of "apartheid" can be used to claim that Israel is guilty of the crime of "genocide" against Palestinians.Sounds absurd? It isn't. The "apartheid" charge began in earnest at the NGO Forum of the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance held at Durban in September 2001. Amnesty and Human RIghts Watch were there among the 3000 delegates and did nothing to stop the final declaration, which repeatedly accused Israel of apartheid, racism, and genocide. In the preamble: Recognizing further that a basic "root cause" of Israel's on going and systematic human rights violations, including its grave breaches of the fourth Geneva convention 1949 (i.e. war crimes), acts of genocide and practices of ethnic cleansing is a racist system, which is Israel's brand of apartheid. In the main body: We declare and call for an immediate end to the Israeli systematic perpetration of racist crimes including war crimes, acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing (as defined in the Statute of the International Criminal Court), ... and state terrorism against the Palestinian people, recognizing that all of these methods are designed to ensure the continuation of an exclusively Jewish state with a Jewish majority and the expansion of its borders to gain more land, driving out the indigenous Palestinian population.
