| Linda Sarsour claims Geico is Islamophobic for canceling her hate speech on Ramadannoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 10 Apr 04:45 AM Insurance company | | Insurance company Geico invited bigot Linda Sarsour to speak during an internal Middle East Heritage Month meeting set up by their Diversity and Inclusion department. When Jewish groups protested, Geico backed down, with this statement: Given Sarsour's record - supporting antisemite Louis Farrakhan, invoking "Jewish supremacy," saying Zionists cannot be feminists, and supporting Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh, this is an accurate representation of her views. Beyond that, she has publicly praised a misogynist and anti-gay Muslim cleric, Imam Siraj Wahhaj, as her mentor. Sarsour is no role model for Muslims. She is filled with hate, and Geico was correct in uninviting her. But now she is very upset, and her disingenuous argument is that Geico is effectively Islamophobic for this cancellation, placing herself as being synonymous with Islam itself. Here's most of an email she sent out to her MPower Change mailing list: (A shorter version demanding Geico apologize is here.) I'm sending this message to you with a heavy heart, shortly after beginning my daily fast for Ramadan. Just before Ramadan began, GEICO Insurance invited me to meet and talk with their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team. I was happy to discuss Arab-American heritage, especially during the holy...Read More |
From Ian: Iran is Willing to Fight to the Last Israeli Arab Iran, it has often been said, is willing to fight to the last Arab. The Islamic Republic's long-standing policy of using Arabs to fight its proxy wars is, it seems, being extended to the Jewish state. And Israeli Arabs are paying the price. Many of Israel's Arab communities have seen a spike in violent crime in recent months and years. In 2013, for example, there were 58 homicides. But by 2020, that number stood at 97 – an astounding increase. That year, the Times of Israel observed, was for Israeli Arabs officially "their deadliest year in recent memory." The epidemic of violence attracted considerable coverage from news outlets, both foreign and domestic. The New York Times and The Washington Post, among others, have devoted news and editorial space to the crime spree. Much of the press attention, however, has focused on the supposed social inequities – both real and imagined – which are allegedly fueling the violence. "The wave of violence," The Washington Post claimed in an October 2019 report, "has prompted outrage in the country's Arab communities, near-daily protests and accusations that law enforcement protects some Israelis more than others." Two years later, an October 2021 New York Times dispatch warned that "killing of Arabs by Arabs has soared," but "the prevailing assumption, an official said...Read More |
From Ian: Caroline Glick: The nuclear deal is not unavoidable While the anti-Israel camp has long been the minority camp in the US, it has always been a powerful minority. And facing the divisions in US views of their country, Israelis have also divided themselves into two opposing camps with competing views of how to safeguard and expand the US alliance with Israel. Former Prime Minister and Opposition Leader Benjamin Netanyahu has led the first camp for the past 30 years. Lapid, Gantz, and Bennett, (who follows their lead), are today the outstanding representatives of the opposing camp. The first camp, which we can call the American camp, recognizes that Israel cannot influence members of the anti-Israel camp in any of its various factions. But it also recognizes that this camp is the minority in the US and while it is the dominant camp in the Democrat Party, it isn't the only faction in the party. Members of the American camp believe that the way to preserve and expand US support for Israel is to support and strengthen Israel's supporters on both sides of the partisan aisle. The American camp advances this goal by speaking straightforwardly and unapologetically about Israel's interests and actions, and how both advance US interests and values. Members of this camp believe that by drawing clear lines for Israel's American allies, whether on Iran or the Palestinians or other key issues...Read More |
Wikipedia describes the 1934 Constantine pogrom: The 1934 Constantine riots was an anti-Jewish riot that erupted in the Algerian city of Constantine. The general consensus is that the initial cause of the conflict was a confrontation between Eliahou Khalifa, a Jewish Zouave, and Muslim worshippers in a mosque next to his home. The Muslims said that Khalifa was drunk, and insulted Islam. A report by the Jewish authorities claimed he was not intoxicated, and that after getting into an argument with them, the Muslims had cursed Khalifa's faith and he cursed them and their faith back. JTA reported on August 8, 1934: A scene of utter desolation and horror, of Jewish girls with their breasts cut off, of little children with numerous knife wounds and of whole families locked in their homes and burned to death, was described by a Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent, who succeeded in reaching this city today. "It will take days before the world will obtain a true picture of all the atrocities committed by the Arabs during the pogrom on the Jewish quarter," the correspondent wired. "The only comparison I can think of is the Palestine riots of 1929. I found Jewish girls with their breasts cut off, greybearded Jews stabbed to death, little Jewish children dead of numerous knife wounds and whole families locked in their homes and burned to death by the rioters." "Just as in Palestine in 1929, the lists of the dead...Read More |
From Ian: Barak Lufan, 35, dies of wounds from Tel Aviv terror attack, bringing toll to 3 Barak Lufan, a 35-year-old father of three, died on Friday from wounds sustained in the previous night's terror attack in Tel Aviv, bringing the shooting's death toll to three. Lufan was one of several people who was seriously injured in the Thursday night attack, and succumbed on Friday evening at Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv, the hospital said. The attack on the Ilka bar on Dizengoff Street injured over 10 other people. The terrorist, 28-year-old Jenin resident Ra'ad Hazem, was shot dead after being discovered by security forces early Friday following a massive manhunt overnight. Lufan was a resident of the central city of Givat Shmuel and grew up in Kibbutz Ginosar in northern Israel. He was a coach on Israel's Paralympic team and the head coach of the Israeli national kayak team. "Our beloved Barak, the grandson of the founders of Kibbutz Ginosar, an exemplary husband and father, an athlete with every fiber of his being, a member of the Olympic kayaking team staff, and an educator of the future generation in the field, has left us prematurely," his family said in a statement. Lufan was brought to the hospital in critical condition following the attack. On Friday morning, the hospital said he was in a "life-threatening" condition. "Barak was critically...Read More |
Based on population numbers from Wikipedia, Israel now has official relations with countries that represent 49.93% of the population of all Arab countries. If you add the countries that Israel has indirect relations with, like Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar, this rises to at least 60.13% - nearly a quarter of a billion Arabs! Of course many of the Arabs within those countries still hate Israel, but this is truly an astounding statistic, one that could not have been dreamed in years past. * * * * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

Twitter apparently thought that this tweet was promoting terrorism. The video is not clear enough to actually see any shooting or victims, only the panic of the young people enjoying an evening out. I would never post anything that shows the victims (the way Palestinians love to.) Here is the video: But the idiots at Twitter emailed me: Violating our rules against hateful conduct. You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. Meanwhile, tweets like this that actually celebrate murder are all over the place: UPDATE: Within minutes of my reporting this tweet celebrating murders, Twitter managed to review it and declare it kosher: Twitter policies are provably pro-terror. Please tweet this - because I can't. (I did appeal.) * * * * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!
