Treating Jews as equals is embarrassing to Palestinian recipients of US aidnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 28 Mar 04:45 AM The Jerusalem Post reporte Like   Tweet   Treating Jews as equals is embarrassing to Palestinian recipients of US aid noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 28 Mar 04:45 AM The Jerusalem Post reported on March 8: A United States grant of $5.5 million for two Israeli-Palestinian business partnerships for female entrepreneurs was awarded Tuesday under the Middle East Partnership for Peace Act (MEPPA). It's a small part of MEPPA's $250m. five-year program to build "people-to-people" relations through economic partnerships. This is all very nice. But this next sentence should be troubling for anyone: Coleman was vague on the details with regard to the grant's recipients, noting that participants did not want their identities to be known. Why? Why wouldn't the participants want their identities to be known? Because Palestinian organizations are at risk for engaging in "normalization" with Israel. The Palestinian Authority itself threatens any organization that deals with Israeli counterparts. The US wants to help cooperation between Israel and the Palestinians. (So does the EU.) But the Palestinian leaders are dead set against this. The Palestinian Authority is trying to stymie normal relations between Israelis and Palestinians, in this case for female entrepreneurs but also for sports competitions or agriculture information or anything. Does anyone see a problem here? The US and EU want to promote these programs in order to create a culture of peace. The Palestinian leadership is against a culture of peace. Any US efforts are despite the efforts of the PA to thwart them. Because the PA fundamentally doesn't want peace with Israel. And it...Read More You can tell how moral people are by their reactions to the murder of Jews noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 27 Mar 05:24 PM Today there was a terror attack in Hadera that was eerily similar to the attack in Beersheva last week. Two Arabs started shooting police and civilians before they were killed. As with last week's attack, the terrorists were Israeli Arabs who had ties with ISIS. Another similarity is that Israeli Arabs denounced the attack, without reservation. In this case the city of Umm al Fahm and the heads of the major Arab political parties condemned the attack. The reaction from terror groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad was identical in both cases as well - praise for the attack, and justification for it as a "natural response" to Israeli actions. And from the Palestinian Authority and their mouthpieces, in both cases - silence. The official Wafa news agency didn't report either attack, or if they did it was buried far from their front page. So we have three sets of people referred to as Palestinians whose responses to terror attacks are quite different. The average Palestinian Arab in the territories is supportive of terror attacks. Opinion polls have shown this to be the case time after time. Over the years, only about half support the concept of "armed resistance" in theory, but actual attacks are overwhelmingly supported. The Palestinian Authority has never condemned a terror attack in a way that gave the impression that they...Read More Palestinians chose their path, and now they are left behind by their Arab brethren noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 27 Mar 02:00 PM Israel is hosting a summit in the Negev today, at David Ben Gurion's house, with top diplomats from Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Bahrain along with the United States Secretary of State. The main topic is expected to be the Iran nuclear deal and its danger to the region. Palestinian terror groups are very angry. A group of them issued a statement that "the real threat to the Arab nation is only the Israeli threat, and any other threats are fabricated illusions from the United States and its ally Israel, and aim only to justify the establishment of an Arab-Israeli alliance as an extension of NATO." While the summit shows how the Middle East has changed dramatically in the past couple of years, and proves how wrong the critics who shrugged the Abraham Accords aside have been. Notably, the Palestinians were not invited. After decades of them setting the agenda for the region by acting as a veto for what all Arab nations can do, they have sunk into irrelevance. A...Read More 03/27 Links: Edinburgh Council want to hug Hamas; Arab opposition to Zionism has always been antisemitic; Why is the US still paying for antisemitic UN farce? noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 27 Mar 12:00 PM From Ian: David Collier: Edinburgh Council want to hug a proscribed terrorist group On Tuesday – unbelievably -the Policy and Sustainability Committee of Edinburgh Council will debate and vote on a motion to twin Edinburgh with the HQ of a radical Islamic terrorist group. The 17 Councillors on this Committee (5 SNP, 5 Conservative, 3 Labour, 2 LibDem, 2 Green) will debate a petition concocted by an antisemite whose twisted thinking proved even too toxic for the proscribed group Labour Against the Witchhunt. Yes, that's right, Tony Greenstein, a notorious antisemite himself, kicked this guy out over his antisemitism. That is how bad he is. Yet his vile motion, that seeks to give the proscribed terror group Hamas a hug, is going be discussed. And even though it was born from the mind of a clear antisemite, two SNP Westminster MPs, Tommy Sheppard and Philippa Whitford, have disgracefully supported the proposal. According to the original proposal in 2019, there seems to be a council process which means they have to consider a petition that garners more than 200 signatures 'unless there is a good reason to oppose it'. I am sure that if this were a far-right racist, asking for a debate that baited Edinburgh's black community, the Council would have triggered the 'opposition' clause by now. The fact this is still going ahead because it only baits Jews – is just more proof that racism against Jews is still acceptable in Scotland...Read More Evil Israel allows more Gazans to work... in Israel noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 27 Mar 10:00 AM From Times of Israel: The Israeli government is on Sunday expected to raise the number of permits for Gazans to work in Israel by an additional 8,000, to a total of 20,000, the Ministry for Regional Cooperation said. Cabinet ministers are set to sign off on a government resolution authorizing the additional permits at their weekly meeting. The decision comes as Israel seeks to reduce tensions with the Palestinians before the Ramadan holiday, with some officials fearing heightened tensions. The quota was raised to 12,000 permits just two weeks ago. An Israeli security official briefed reporters at the time that the ceiling would soon be raised to 20,000 at the initiative of Defense Minister Benny Gantz. Qatari envoy to the Gaza Strip Mohammad al-Emadi, who regularly meets with both Israeli and Palestinian officials, told Gaza media on Thursday that Israel had pledged to eventually raise the quota to 30,000 permits. But...I thought that Israel was racist and only wanted to bomb civilians in Gaza, not help them out! Must be that Israel wants to enslave them by paying them triple the normal wage in Gaza. Yeah, that must be it. And that's exactly how the haters spin this sort of news. Because they start from the assumption that Jews are greedy, malicious, and murderous. The idea that Israel has every interest in helping Gaza's economy, and that since there have been few...Read More Syrian news site connects Khazar theory to Jewish world domination noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 27 Mar 07:00 AM The thoroughly discredited Khazar theory, that claims that all Ashkenazic Jews are descended from people in the Khazar kingdom that converted to Judaism in the ninth century, has been a favorite of Arab Jew-haters for at least seven decades. A writer in Syria's Al Watan, Hassan M. Yousef, has extended this fairy tale to connect the Khazars to the Elders of Zion conspiracy theory of rich Jewish world domination. In the year 802 AD, a number of Jewish merchants, led by Rabbi Ebadi, came to Khazaria from Iran after a revolt broke out against them. The shrewd rabbi succeeded in persuading Khagan Khazaria to convert to Judaism in order to remain independent, because his conversion to Islam would make him a follower of Baghdad, and his conversion to Christianity would make him a follower of Constantinople. After Judaism was declared the official religion of the country, the rabbi refused the entry of the entire population into his religion, and made Judaism a monopoly on the nobility of the major merchants, army leaders and notables of the people. The Russian historian and archaeologist Lev Gumilyov states in his book "The Discovery of Khazaria," that the immigrant Jews "bloodily and brutally suppressed any popular revolt demanding a limitation of...Read More    ©2022 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
