One day after the March 29 attack, the army mapped out Hamarsheh's home in the West Bank town of Ya'bad near Jenin ahead of the planned demolition. Here's the house.

From Ian: 'Palestinian Apartheid Week' as New Approach to Facing Anti-Israel Activity on Campus Throughout the approximately five hours a day the tables are set up on campus, except for at the University of Minnesota, where the cold only allowed them to stay for a couple hours a day, Sinelnikov said that he could see the effect the campaign is making. The people who he could tell were really anti-Israel didn't know how to react. Some said it wasn't true; a few yelled obscenities or flipped them off. At every university, members of the school's SJP would stand across from them and take photos, but rarely say anything because they didn't know what to do. "Most people think it's going to burn the campus down — this campaign — but the fact of the matter is, I think we're educating people really nicely in a really good way, and we're controlling the narrative in the conversation," he said after the group's first day at UC Berkeley, one of the country's most activist left-wing universities. Meanwhile, he could also see a change in Jewish and pro-Israel students who were coming up to them the whole day, happy and proud to see that for the first time there was a group that was proactive against Palestinian disinformation on campus. "Their feeling has changed, and now the Jewish students and the Zionist students in Berkeley and Urbana-Champaign...Read More |
In last month's UN Division for Palestinian Rights Bulletin on Action by UN System and Intergovernmental Organizations Relevant to the Question of Palestine, the first item was "Closed consultations with civil society organizations convened by the Palestinian Rights Committee." This means that a series of Palestinian (and other) anti-Israel NGOs held a meeting with the UN - but unlike virtually all UN meetings, it was not open to the public. The names of these organizations are not listed in the report on the meeting. All we see are how closely the UN works with unnamed Israel haters. The report emphasizes how close the UN is to these organizations: [T]he objective of the Committee's engagement with civil society was to harness their potential in the OPT, Israel and elsewhere to promote its mandate through strengthened cooperation, including joint activities and exchange of information. Its mandate includes destroying the Jewish state via the "right to return." These unnamed civil society organizations are heavily involved in making Sheikh Jarrah Judenrein. It also includes Orwellian lies: Addressing the impact of the #Savesheikhjarrah campaign and local committees' activism, participants underlined the two layers of the Sheikh Jarrah issue. The first pertained to the neighbourhood itself, whereas another...Read More |
From Ian: Vatican mulling historic Jerusalem meeting between pope, Russian patriarch The Vatican is studying the possibility of extending Pope Francis' trip to Lebanon in June so he can fly to Jerusalem to meet there the Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, who has backed Russia's war in Ukraine, two sources told Reuters on Monday. It would be only their second meeting. Their first, in Cuba in 2016, was the first between a pope and a leader of the Russian Orthodox Church since the Great Schism that split Christianity into Eastern and Western branches in 1054. Kirill, 75, has given his full-throated blessing for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a position that has splintered the worldwide Orthodox Church and unleashed an internal rebellion that theologians and academics say is unprecedented. The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the plan was for the 85-year-old pope, who is due in Lebanon on June 12-13, to fly to Amman, Jordan on the morning of June 14. From there, he would board a helicopter to Jerusalem on the same day for the meeting with Kirill and then return to Rome from there, the sources said. One source said the trip appeared to be almost certain, while the other said it was one possibility. Returning from his trip to Malta last week, Francis said he hoped to meet Kirill somewhere in the Middle East this year but did not say where. Kirill called on Russians on Sunday to rally around the...Read More |
Last week, the membership of Tzedek Chicago, a virtual synagogue that never seems to actually meet, voted to adopt anti-Zionism as a "core value." As I noted in January, the synagogue never seems to actually meet. They hold a biweekly Zoom Friday night service, alternating with a virtual candlelighting ceremony. They have a weekly virtual "Torah study" on Saturday morning, but no services. My guess is that it has more members from outside the Chicago area than from within. Their website does have a "liturgy" section, and of course they have various versions of their anti-Zionist Haggadot. Their virtual seder this year will be held on the fifth night of Passover, for some reason. Even though they are meeting on the first night of Passover for their Kabbalat Shabbat service (and there is no Kabbalat Shabbat on holiday nights, but Rabbi Brant Rosen must have his reasons...) Of course, their Haggadah must eliminate all mentions of Israel. In fact, the main text shaves down the Haggadah to a mere three pages. So we see in the beginning, for Ha Lachma Anya, instead of saying that next year we should be in Israel, we should be...Read More |
When partisans attempt to justify the actions of those they support, they almost invariably need to exaggerate the support of their political opponents of abhorrent positions. Yes, there are neo-Nazis in the Ukraine (and around the world,) but people who support Russia vastly exaggerate their importance. Yes, there is child sexual abuse in the US (and around the world), but the far-Right exaggerate it in order to achieve their own political goals. In both cases, virtually no one actually supports neo-Nazis or sexual abuse of children; the vast majority of people on all sides of the political spectrum abhor both. However, Palestinians really support murdering Jews. Not just Jewish "settlers," not just IDF soldiers - Jewish civilians. Not just a tiny minority of Palestinians, but the vast majority. Over the years, most public opinion polls of Palestinians ask, in the abstract, whether they support "armed struggle," the euphemism for terror attacks. The support levels for that abstract question always hovers around 50%. That is really bad. But it doesn't reflect the real opinions that Palestinians have towards terror. Because over the years, when they have been asked about specific attacks that targeted Jews, their level of support doesn't diminish - it almost invariably skyrockets. In 2003, 75% supported the...Read More |
