| A large variety of Palestine kosher for Passover wines were imported to North America in 1914noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 14 Apr 04:45 AM I was su | | I was surprised at the sheer number and variety of wines from Israel (then Palestine) for sale at Frazer, Viger and Company, a Montreal importer, in 1914. And Carmel also exported Palestine olive oil! This was in the Montreal Gazette. One could write a book about the evolution of kosher food in America based on old ads. This is a 1936 ad from Memphis, a year after Coke was first certified kosher for Passover in Atlanta. * * * * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

From Ian: Amnesty International's Campaign to Destroy Israel It's tempting to dismiss entirely the work of Amnesty and similar organizations, but neither Israel nor other states can afford to do so. Non-governmental organizations such as Amnesty occupy a prominent role in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), as they can refer a matter for the prosecutor's investigation. That statute empowers the ICC prosecutor to initiate an investigation on the basis of "information from…intergovernmental or non-governmental organizations," even though neither Israel nor the United States is a party to it. In the absence of a cadre of investigators akin to a domestic law-enforcement agency, an "independent" human-rights organization's assessment is potentially significant for the ICC prosecutor and judges. The organization's views may influence the course of a prosecutor's investigation, be relied upon as evidence, and ultimately influence the opinions of the judges. As the Rome Statute states: "The Court may ask any intergovernmental organization to provide information or documents. The Court may also ask for other forms of cooperation and assistance which may be agreed upon with such an organization and which are in accordance with its competence or mandate." Thus, Amnesty's report and others like it add to the impression of a body of evidence and legal analysis...Read More |
Passover, or Pesach, as it is known in the holy tongue, is the time of year when Jews talk a lot about nationhood. For what was the Exodus story if not the seminal event that led to the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai, Har Sinai? We are taught that God took the Jews out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm (Deuteronomy 26:8), signifying His direct intervention in the matter. God, Himself, had crowned us His nation, Am Yisrael, the Nation of Israel. Why the Jews, one might reasonably ask? Clearly, it is not because the Jews are a strong and powerful people, great in number. On the contrary, God chose the Jews because only a small number of people belong to this select nation. "Not because you are the biggest of the nations did God desire you and choose you but because you are the smallest of the nations." (Deuteronomy 7:7). The Jews were set aside among the nations to be a holy people, created to observe God's law. As a nation, you might have noticed, for thousands of year, we did not attempt to swell our ranks by recognizing patrilineal descent, or through creative new conversion ceremonies. We did not need to swell our ranks. Because we are meant to be small and select, yet meek and dependent on God. It's about faithfulness to an idea: that we will strive to be what God wants us to be, where God wants us to be, no matter what. When we talk about the Jews being a "stubborn" nation, it means exactly that. We don't care that our numbers shrink—or what people...Read More |
Egyptian site Maspero, "Egynews", has a fairly bizarre conspiracy theory by columnist Nasser Farouk. It starts off with: The tongues of smoke and fire still fill the skies of Ukraine in a war that was created by an effective action and over the course of five years it was prepared for it, and recently the curtain was revealed about who is behind it.. It is the family that rules the world, the Rothschilds, the Jewish Zionists, and the real founder of Freemasonry, which was based in Russia under a contract for the Russian Central Bank since 1917 for a hundred years. The Balfour Declaration was also written in 1917, and he says this is no coincidence! The Jews (were behind) the formation of the first government after the coup against the Tsar. There were 23 Jewish members out of 25 of the government, headed by Lenin and Stalin. [The Rothschilds] owns nearly 500 trillion dollars which is half of the world's wealth and monopolizes the trade and gold mines in the world, as well as medicine and its industry, weapons, technology, media, satellites, Hollywood, petroleum and a third of the world's fresh water, medicine, influence and world domination, and their scheme was a unified government for the world based in Washington. The beginning was with biological wars (Corona), because among their projects was funding laboratories worldwide, and America was the...Read More |
From Ian: Amb. Alan Baker: How the Russia-Ukraine War and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Differ Attempts to compare or equate the Russian mode of operation and massive violations of international law in Ukraine with Israel's actions to defend its population from Palestinian terror attacks are patently lacking bona fides and the most basic sense of fairness and proportion. The motivation behind such attempts is insincere, superficial, false, and deceitful. Those who attempt to manipulate international awareness by equating Russian aggression and war crimes with Israel's actions to defend its population are driven by an overriding and irresponsible penchant to vilify, defame, and delegitimize Israel. Russia is conducting an open, high-level war of aggression, with an indiscriminate and massive bombardment of civilian population centers, schools, hospitals, and railway stations, as well as religious and cultural centers and monuments, in violation of the basic and widely accepted norms and principles of international humanitarian law. The Palestinian mode of operation includes using civilian facilities – schools, hospitals, clinics, mosques, and private homes – as weapons storage facilities and rocket emplacements. The Palestinian terror organizations have constructed a vast web of tactical tunnels underneath Palestinian towns, civilian roads, and significant facilities...Read More |
I went looking for old ads that mention "kosher for passover" from a century ago, and stumbled onto these two. April 3, 1922: March 28, 1923: The ads themselves aren't remarkable. What is remarkable is the newspaper that they were published in: the Baltimore Evening Sun, a secular newspaper. Jews were a bit less than 10% of the population of Baltimore in 1920, and lots of immigrants from Eastern Europe moved there. There was at least one Jewish newspaper in the city at the time. Yet the advertisers thought that they would do better by advertising to the entire Baltimore community - even including Hebrew and Yiddish in their ads! It seems to indicate a remarkable confidence in their Jewishness, with no fear of "what will the goyim think?" that seems to be the default position of most Jews today, of all levels of religiosity. (And even then, the Jews were ahead of the progressive game in creating vegetarian meat substitutes!) * * * * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

Back in 2009, I (very quickly) wrote a Zionist Haggadah. It is a complete, traditional Haggadah, with added commentary based on religious Zionist divrei Torah I found online. The theme is simple. The Haggadah tells a story of the Jewish people moving from slavery to freedom. This is also the story of modern Israel. Passover is as Zionist a holiday as one can imagine - the beginning of freedom for the Jewish people. And freedom is not complete without having a physical land where people can be authentically and wholeheartedly Jewish. The main part of the Haggadah starts with הָשַּׁתָּא הָכָא, לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה בְּאַרְעָא דְיִשְׂרָאֵל - Now we are here, next year we will be in the Land of Israel. The penultimate praise of Dayenu thanks God for bringing us to the Land of Israel, הִכְנִיסָנוּ לְאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל. The end of the Seder includes בְּקָרוֹב נַהֵל נִטְעֵי כַנָּה פְּדוּיִם לְצִיּוֹן בְּרִנָּה, "Bring close, lead the plantings of the sapling, redeemed, to Zion in joy," followed by the celebratory "Next Year in Jerusalem." Anti-Zionists have been trying to hijack Judaism to justify their hate and attract disenfranchised Jews. They don't want them to experience the real thing. The real Judaism is authentic and rooted in the Land of Israel - not in celebrating "diasporism" as a core Jewish value. This is the real thing. Every year I plan to update this Haggadah so I can publish a print edition, but updating it will take much more time than it took to create this one...Read More |
