| Once again, Hezbollah tells Lebanon that hating Israel is more important than loving your own countrynoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 15 Mar 04:45 AM | | From Naharnet: Lebanon seems to be inclined to reject U.S. envoy Amon Hochstein's proposal regarding the demarcation of the sea border with Israel, a media report said on Friday. "There is an inclination to reject the proposal in a polite way that does not infuriate the American side," al-Akhbar newspaper reported. "The dominant inclination within the committee is to reject Hochstein's proposal, seeing as it does not fully grant the possible Qana field to Lebanon and rather leaves a pocket under the Israeli enemy's sovereignty, which would create a problem between the state and some domestic forces that totally reject any form of engagement in what they consider to be normalization platforms," the sources added. Gee, who could that be? Here's a hint: Informed sources meanwhile warned that accepting the U.S. proposal would represent a "scandal." "It is like a maritime ambush aimed at preoccupying the Lebanese side with studying proposals whose unviability is known by the Americans," the sources said. Hezbollah has made clear that there is no choice at all. The terror group can veto anything and everything.
So instead of gaining millions of dollars of energy, Lebanon will get zilch but with the "honor" of knowing that they are choosing to starve their own people rather than agree to anything with Israel. It's a funny definition of honor, but hate does funny things...Read More |
From Ian: David Collier: Amnesty International admits – it wants the destruction of Israel Tokenising Jews, silencing their voice
We are left with O'Brien sitting in his ivory tower talking about Jews. He says he knows what Jews think. He disagrees with surveys that suggest he may be wrong. O'Brien clearly thinks he knows Jews better than they know themselves. British Jews know this antisemitic feature of the hard-left all too well. We dealt with it as it ran rampant through the Labour Party. People telling Jews that they knew better than the Jews, what being Jewish was about. Since when was it in Amnesty's remit to cast aside surveys of American Jews and suggest that Amnesty know better? Like many, O'Brien does not understand 'Jews' at all. I am sure he has one or two Jewish friends. People, with one foot already outside of the community who have turned their 'Jewishness' into something abstract and meaningless. Just as the Corbynites hid behind fringe hate groups like Jewish Voice for Labour, Amnesty have found their 'acceptable' Jews now too. But Jews won't be told by naive fools such as O'Brien what they do or do not want. We will reject Amnesty's blatant antisemitism. The Jewish people were stateless for long enough. We know all too well how high the price can be for political impotence. And as we look at Ukraine – it is worth reminding ourselves of the reality of...Read More |
Today, Palestinian prime minister met with what Palestinian media called 300 Harvard University students to spout anti-Israel propaganda.
"The biggest challenge [for Palestinians] is national unity and ending division, and we will work to achieve it by all means. The second challenge is the Judaization of Jerusalem as the capital," Shtayyeh said.
The trip was part of Harvard Israel Trek, an annual subsidized trip to Israel and the territories during spring break.
Despite the students being exposed to unfettered Palestinian propaganda, BDSers on campus try to dissuade students from going: Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine hung flyers across campus last week (February 25) urging undergraduates to boycott Harvard Israel Trek, an annual subsidized spring break trip to Israel and the West Bank. Organizers for HOOP — a student group spearheaded by the Palestine Solidarity Committee that calls on Harvard to divest holdings linked to Israel's presence in Palestine — posted flyers with QR codes linked to a document that alleges trip-goers are "complicit in apartheid and settler colonialism." In 2019, the PSC distributed a petition urging undergraduates to boycott Israel Trek, which was ultimately canceled due to Covid-19. Applications for this year's trip closed last October. According to Israel Trek student leader Ty L. Geri '23, more than 450 students...Read More |
A new Gallup poll of how Americans view different countries show that Americans overwhelmingly admires Israel, while they look at the Palestinian Authority worse than Cuba and Saudi Arabia: The attitude towards Israel is a little worse than in 2020/21, a little better than 2019.
The Palestinian Authority score went up from 23% in 2020 to to 30% last year and down to 27% today.
Among Democrats, most are still favorable towards Israel and less favorable towards Palestinians - 65% to 38%.

From Ian: Bernard-Hemri Levy: Ukraine and the Jews And finally, President Volodymyr Zelensky, the descendant of a family decimated by the Holocaust and a living symbol of mourning done right. The first time I met him, on the eve of his election, I asked him by what turn of history might the Ukraine of the extreme-right Azov Battalion place in its highest office a Jew from Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. With his customary dry humor, leavened at that moment with unusual gravity, he replied as follows (and how well later events would prove him right!): "There remains a far right in Ukraine, of course; but you will soon see that it carries less electoral weight here than in Russia or even in France …" Today it is Putin who threatens the city of Uman, which the Jews of Galicia brightened with their sabbaths, their Talmudic studies, their radiant Hasidism, and their modernity. It is Putin's missiles that, in destroying Kyiv's television tower, barely missed Babi Yar and the 33,000 souls buried in the sandy ravine, whose guardians are the Ukrainians. It is Putin who is pounding the Jews of Bucha, Irpin, and Borodyanka, who had been living peacefully with their fellow citizens of all faiths. And that is why, despite the provocations that isolated bands of rogue soldiers may commit, as they do in all wars, we should be guided by a simple compass. If there is a leader who urgently needs denazifying, it is...Read More |
From AFP: Royal Air Maroc took off from Morocco's economic capital Casablanca bound for Tel Aviv on Sunday, in the carrier's first direct flight to the Jewish state since the two countries normalized ties in 2020. Aviation sources and local media sources said a Moroccan business delegation was on the inaugural flight, delayed by three months because of the COVID-19 pandemic. "Casablanca/Tel Aviv for 400 euros ($440). Who would have believed it?" tweeted David Govrin, head of Israel's liaison office in the Arab state. The Moroccan carrier RAM is to fly four times a week between Casablanca and Tel Aviv, while Israeli airlines launched flights to Morocco's Marrakesh last July, although they were suspended in late November because of coronavirus travel curbs. Here is the route that the flight took: Flights between Morocco and Israel cannot go in a straight line because Algeria, Libya and probably Tunisia would not allow them to fly over their airspace. So the flight must pass over parts of Spain, Italy and Crete. But that isn't the only reason for the flight path. Algeria doesn't only block overflights from and to Israel - it bans any air traffic to and from Morocco! The ban took effect last September over their own cold war...Read More |
This week is the holiday of Purim, celebrating the salvation of Jews from the schemes of the Persian Empire and its evil vizier Haman to destroy them. Hamas, which shares Haman's desire to destroy the Jews, is now telling Palestinians to attack any Jews who want to visit the Temple Mount this week for the occasion. Mohammed Hamada, a Hamas spokesman, issued a statement saying that Hamas "warns the occupation and its colonial settlers against desecrating the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque during the so-called "Feast of Purim" amid its calls for storming the Mosque on 16th and 17th of March." He said that "the occupation's desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque is a crime and violation of all heavenly norms and laws, and a direct provocation to our Islamic nation." Jews visit the site every Sunday through Thursday, and for the past few years they have even been quietly praying there, without incident. But Muslim fanatics want there to be an incident, and they want bloodshed. "We call upon the masses of our Palestinian people in Jerusalem, West Bank, and 1948 occupied lands to confront the Zionist storming, protect Al-Aqsa, and prevent the Zionist extremists from desecrating...Read More |
