| Jews legally buy another apartment in Silwan from an Arab, as Palestinians fume at the sellernoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 22 Mar 04:45 AM Asharq a | | Asharq al-Awsat reports in Arabic: Settlers succeeded in obtaining a new property in the town of Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, by purchasing it from its owner, in a continuous process, despite the intensification of all official and popular efforts to eliminate it. The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Jerusalem said that settlers seized a property belonging to a Jerusalemite who had leaked it to them. The new property is an apartment within a residential building located in the Mughrabi Gate area of Silwan. The group confirmed that the house was leaked in the morning, when settlers stormed the building, guarded by members of the occupation police. Years ago, the Palestinian Authority began prosecuting sellers and subjected them to investigations and issued judgments against them in the courts, but this was not a sufficient deterrent. The religious authorities issued several legal fatwas against the leakers in the recent period, coinciding with the increase in these operations. The religious fatwas did not stop the people concerned from carrying out such sales. Officials in the PA say that they find it difficult to pursue the sellers, for more than one reason; The first is that things are done in secrecy, and the Israelis wait for many...Read More |
From Ian: Bennett in Egypt for first-ever trilateral summit with Sissi and UAE crown prince Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was in Egypt on Monday for the first-ever trilateral summit of Israeli, Egyptian and Emirati leaders, an Egyptian official told The Times of Israel, confirming the premier's unannounced visit to the Sinai resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh. Bennett first met with Sissi shortly after arriving in the city, the official said. The Prime Minister's Office has yet to comment on the trip, which comes days after Israel announced the inauguration of a new flight route between Ben Gurion Airport and Sharm el-Sheikh. Flights are expected to start as early as next month, during the week of the Passover holiday. The news was widely covered by Israeli media, though it was barely mentioned in the Egyptian press. Bennett last met with Sissi in September, in what was the first such summit between Israeli and Egyptian leaders in more than a decade. The premier met with UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in December, when he made the first-ever visit by an Israeli prime minister to the Gulf country. Bin Zayed also landed in Sharm el-Sheikh Monday, days after hosting Syrian President Bashar Assad — a move harshly condemned by the Biden administration, which has thus far resisted joining efforts by a growing number of Mideast leaders...Read More |

A bill was proposed in the New Hampshire House of Representatives: BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring: That we reaffirm our strong support for the Jewish people and our truest ally in the Middle East, the Nation of Israel; the recognition of the current and historical capitol [sic] of Israel being in Jerusalem; and the location of the embassy of the United States now finally in Jerusalem where it should have been and where it should remain. This prompted NH House Democrats to call Israel an apartheid state: A simple resolution expressing the New Hampshire House's support for Israel unleashed complex emotions on the House floor last week, with supporters sharing tearful stories and opponents labeling the nation an "apartheid state." For Democrats, who overwhelmingly voted against the pro-Israel resolution, the troubling issue of antisemitism within their ranks was raised yet again. Democrats tried tabling, amending, and indefinitely postponing the resolution, all in an effort to keep it from passing. The final vote was 175 to 107 in favor, with just 15 Democrats joining the Republicans' unanimous support. Progressives, led by Democrat-turned-independent Rep. Tony Labranche, opposed the resolution for being too pro-Israel...Read More |
From Ian: Matthew Continetti: Believe Them Putin chose war instead. He chose to follow the logic he had set out in a 5,000-word essay published in July 2021. Its title was "On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians." It's where Putin made his ghoulish case that the borders of Ukraine are illegitimate. Where he asserted that Ukrainians and Russians are "one people." Where he admonished readers that the Ukrainian nation-state exists at Russia's pleasure. Putin never wavered from these arguments. Throughout the buildup of Russian forces on Ukraine's borders, despite Biden's threat of sanctions and French president Emmanuel Macron's shuttle diplomacy, Putin continued to say that Ukrainian nationhood was a fiction. He called Ukraine's democratic government fascist. He blamed America and the West for leaving him no other option than conquest. "The so-called Western bloc, formed by the United States in its own image and likeness, all of it is an 'empire of lies,'" he said during his February 24 speech announcing the "special military operation" against Ukraine. He would "de-Nazify" a country with a Jewish president. He would retaliate if the "empire of lies" got in his way. In launching his war, Putin did exactly what he had shown every indication of preparing to do for some time. Why, then, was it so difficult for so many experts to take him seriously? Why did so many people, including...Read More |
Yesterday, an anti-Israel group danced, sang and chanted outside the Israel Embassy in London, in a typical publicity stunt that we've seen countless times from the likes of IfNotNow, Jewish Voice for Peace and Students for Justice in Palestine. But this childish stunt wasn't done by one of those groups.
It was organized by Amnesty International UK. The stunt street sign claims that no Palestinians are allowed in Israel, or parts of Israel, or, something.
If that is their definition of apartheid, then the real victims of Apartheid in the area of British Mandate Palestine are Jews.
There are far more spaces between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean where Jews are not allowed or can visit only under heavy protection then where Arabs are not allowed. All of Gaza, most of Areas A and B, the vast majority of Hebron, Jewish holy sites in Nablus and Jericho, and even the Temple Mount for most of the day. If Palestinians live under "apartheid" because of Shuhada Street - the only example that the haters ever point to - then Jews in Israel live under a hundred times worse apartheid.
But Amnesty is not concerned with facts. This dance stunt proves it.
And Amnesty's obsession with Israel ends up condoning real human rights abuses. Every minute and dollar spent on demonizing Israel is one less minute and dollar spent on actual crimes.
A 15 minute stroll away from the Israel embassy in London, on the other side...Read More |
In Bari Weiss' latest Common Sense newsletter, Aaron Sibarium reports on how the legal system in the United States is being taken over by totalitarian thinking, where bedrock legal concepts such as energetically representing both sides are being subsumed under progressive ideology. He details how this thinking is now mainstream at elite law schools.
Harvard Law School's Human Rights Clinic seems to prove this point.
After Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International tried and failed to twist the legal definition of apartheid to somehow include Israeli actions, the International Human Rights Clinic at Harvard Law School has added a couple more arguments all meant to twist the law to obtain a pre-determined goal. Objectivity is the furthest thing from the minds of these law students.
That Clinic partnered with Palestinian NGO Addameer to...Read More
