| From the Torah to the Holocaust, Jews can't stop lying - according to a Jordanian newspapernoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 29 Mar 04:45 AM People lov | | People love to politicize antisemitism, saying that their political opponents don't consider this alleged dog-whistle or that possible attack to have been motivated by Jew hatred. In fact, most of the time it is just a naked attempt to paint one's opponents as antisemites - which doesn't protect Jews at all. Yet there are undeniable cases of antisemitism out there which get little or no attention. Not hints of antisemitism, not events that can be interpreted as antisemitic by some definition. I'm talking about the real deal, no two ways about it. Which brings us to this article in Jordan's Addustour (Constitution) newspaper by Dr. Mohamed Khairy Labada, a medical doctor and writer from Amman.
He writes: This golden rule described by Goebbels, the well-known advocate of Nazism, I doubt that anyone in this world - except that Satan - has applied it to the fullest extent, and exploited it to the end like the Zionist movement. Lie as much you like, for there is only a limited number of people who know the truth to oppose you, for if some of them raised their voices, the torrential propaganda torrent would cover them up. Palestine, and with it the Arab East, and the destinies of its people, is not the victim of a single myth, but rather a victim of a complex...Read More |
From Ian: NY Sun Editorial: The Ben-Gurion Summit The conclave of foreign ministers from the Middle East gathering for what is being dubbed, after its desert location, the "Negev Summit" would be newsworthy no matter what happens. That's by dint of convening, as it will today and tomorrow, Arab envoys and their Israeli counterpart within the borders of the Jewish state. It's astonishing and delightful, though, that the meeting will take place at Sde Boker. That's the dusty desert kibbutz where is buried the leader who, nearly 74 years ago, proclaimed the independence of the Jewish state. We speak of David Ben-Gurion, who rose from day worker to become Israel's first prime minister. Not only that but the foreign ministers — from Bahrain, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, America, and Israel — will pay homage at the grave of the visionary leader. If anyone had asked us five years ago, or two years, whether this could happen, we would have chuckled with incredulity. Not that it's so all-fired unusual for Israeli and Arab leaders to meet, especially after the Abraham Accords. It's that by going to the final resting place of "the Old Man," as Israelis call Ben-Gurion, they are acknowledging the very idea, and the success, of the political Zionism that inspirits Israel. It is worth, in respect of Sde Boker, recalling the history that this small town outside of Beersheba evokes. David Ben-Gurion — born ??David...Read More |

At the opening to the weekly cabinet meeting, Palestinian prime minister Muhammed Shtayyeh effectively incited Palestinians to violence in response to the Negev Summit.
Shtayyeh said, "We will remain loyal to our land, our sanctities, our Arab nation, our history, the present of our nation, and the freedom of our heroic people who are able to thwart all schemes aimed at undermining our right to independence, sovereignty and freedom."
He then warned Israel against continuing to attack what he called Palestinian land and holy sites. The only example he gave was "allowing settlers to enter Al-Aqsa," saying that "this matter is no longer tolerated, and our people in Jerusalem will always be on the lookout for all these attempts that will inevitably lead to an unprecedented escalation, especially since we are days away from Land Day and blessed month of Ramadan."
Land Day is on Wednesday and there has been increasing calls to violence in Palestinian media for the occasion. Ramadan starts this weekend.
Only a few weeks ago, Palestinian leaders were threatening violence, claiming Jews were planning to take over Al Aqsa Mosque for Purim. Now they are saying the same for Ramadan. They've been saying it every year that Jews have been in Jerusalem for a century. It is always a lie and always pure incitement.
Note that Shtayyeh is not...Read More

From Ian: Israel's Negev Summit wraps in unanimous condemnation of terror attack The Negev Summit held with the participation of foreign ministers from Egypt, Bahrain, Morocco and the UAE as well as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken ended on Monday as participants all condemned the deadly terror attack in Hadera. The summit was convened as world powers were set to sign a new nuclear deal with Iran and the United States was considering the removal of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps from its list of terror organizations, a move Israel and its regional partners strongly opposed. Foreign Minister Yair Lapid who hosted the event said the participants had decided in the wake of the terror attack, to make their meeting an annual event. "We are today opening a door before all the peoples of the region, including the Palestinians, and offering them to replace the way of terror and destruction with a shared future of progress and success." "What we are doing here is making history, building a new regional architecture based on progress, technology, religious tolerance, security and intelligence cooperation," Lapid said. "This new architecture - the shared capabilities we are building - intimidates and deters our common enemies, first and foremost Iran and its proxies." Blinken who spoke after Lapid said Washington and its allies will work together to confront security challenges and threats including from Iran and its...Read More |

Israeli media reported last week that the tiny remaining Jewish community of Egypt recently discovered a new collection of old Jewish documents, known as a genizah, that had been buried in a cemetery in Cairo that was being refurbished in a joint project with American organizations.
Previous genizahs found in Cairo have been invaluable in understanding the history of the Jewish community there.
However, before the community could do anything about it, the Egyptian Antiquities Authority entered the cemetery and - without any supervision from any Jewish authorities, and apparently without even trying to use modern preservation methods - grabbed the huge collection of documents, stuffing them into bags for 48 hours, and took them away.
It is theorized that the Egyptian government was worried that the documents would be smuggled to Israel so they decided to grab them all now, against the wished of the remaining Jews in Cairo, whose relatives might be mentioned in the collection.
It is unknown how old the genizah is. No one had had the chance to study it yet. The Bassatine cemetery is the second oldest Jewish cemetery in the world, built in the ninth century. The burial plot for the genizah belonged to the Moussiri family, who immigrated to Egypt from Italy in the 18th century.

There is little doubt that the current wave of absurd charges that Israel is guilty of apartheid that kicked off a year ago has been a coordinated attack, meant to multiply its effects by keeping the charge in the news as additional organizations issue tendentious reports that ignore any facts that contradict their foregone conclusions. There is also little doubt that the strategy started at the Durban conference of 2001, where these same NGOs participated and where the apartheid libel first emerged from the fringes.
While the current wave of reports was clearly planned, after years of setting the stage with "Israel Apartheid Weeks" and similar stunts, the question comes up of the timing. Why have these anti-Israel groups decided that this was the best time to bring out the big guns of HRW and Amnesty to write these reports?
Until someone leaks the memos and emails and conversations between these organizations and the Palestinian NGOs who feed them the raw information for them to twist, we cannot be sure. But it is difficult to think that the timing has nothing to do with the Abraham Accords which were signed only months before this wave of slanderous reports.
Anti-Israel groups love to say that they are on the right side of history. As they have orchestrated this apartheid weapon, they are careful to position it as a natural progression of world awareness of supposed Israeli...Read More |
