| All the world's a stage. Or at least Al Aqsa.noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 15 Apr 04:50 AM I was looking at some of the live video taken this morni | | I was looking at some of the live video taken this morning at the Temple Mount, and the Palestinians look like nothing more than actors, playing their roles.
Here are some kids who created a makeshift "barricade," with Israeli troops nowhere in sight. One has a soccer ball. Old men (and reporters) are watching as the audience. And in this video, one of the "worshipers" is literally dancing. They have actors, they have props, they have an audience, they have a stage.
It's all a game - and part of the game is to provoke the Israeli police to injure people so they can create headlines about how awful they are.
The violence this morning at the Temple Mount was the direct result of false rumors and lies spread by the Palestinians. I had reported on the incessant rumors in the Arab world that Jews are planning to slaughter sheep to bring the Paschal sacrifice on the Temple Mount.
This is all because of a fringe Temple Mount activist who advertised that he would pay anyone for smuggling a sheep and slaughtering it. The police on the Temple Mount look for prayer books carried by Jews - no one is smuggling a sheep past them.
The instigator, who is not al all respected in the larger community of Jews who want to have equal rights on the Mount, also played a role in this play - to get in the headlines and provoke violence.
Because the PLO, the PA, Hamas and other groups hapily took...Read More |
From Ian: NGO Monitor: Amnesty International's Cruel Assault on Israel: Systematic Lies, Errors, Omissions & Double Standards in Amnesty's Apartheid Report In February 2022, Amnesty International ("Amnesty") released a 280-page report titled "Israel's Apartheid Against the Palestinians." Amnesty asserted that Israel is and always has been an apartheid state, both inside Israel and in the West Bank and Gaza. Statements by Amnesty officials and the report's recommendations highlight that Amnesty's objective is the end of Israel as a Jewish state. As documented below in great detail, the Amnesty publication is fundamentally flawed, using lies, distortions, omissions, and egregious double standards to construct a fraudulent and libelous narrative of Israeli cruelty. A careful examination of the text shows that Amnesty conducted almost no primary research. Rather, it is bloated with cut-and-paste phrases and quotes and conclusions taken from third-party sources – notably other political NGOs that are part of the same libelous campaign against Israel. The footnotes are glaringly thin on primary documents, such as official Israeli government statistics, Palestinian documents, court documents, Knesset transcripts, interviews from leading officials, and much of the data is obsolete (often well over a decade old). In preparing this report, we examined and critically assessed every line...Read More |
"Next Year in Jerusalem" answers EVERY anti-Zionist argument. \* It proves that Jews were in the Land first.
\* It proves Jews are a nation, not merely a religion. Nations are tied to land, not just faith.
\* It proves that Jews never lost their desire to return and maintained an almost supernatural emotional tie to Israel and Jerusalem.
\* It proves that Zionism is an integral part of Judaism, as this is only one of many expressions of prayer and desire to end the diaspora and return to Israel. It also proves that Zionism isn't "racism" or "ethnic cleansing." Zionism is simply an expression of the age-old desire to resurrect the Jewish nation in historic Jewish land. Redefining it as racism is itself antisemitic. Besides that, in comparison, you will not find a similar longing or desire or love of Jerusalem or the Land of Israel in any other culture or religion. The Arab interest in Jerusalem has always been the desire to take it away from Jews, not a desire for the city itself. When Arabs controlled Jerusalem, they showed very little interest in the city. The modern antisemites know this intuitively. They try to separate Jerusalem from Judaism. They want the Old City to become exclusively Palestinian, and call it "occupied" as if anything a Jew does there is illegal. Palestinians especially understand that if they win Jerusalem, Israel loses its heart - it becomes like any other secular nation. Jerusalem is what makes Israel special. They want to take Jerusalem away from...Read More |
Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory. Check out their Facebook page. Tel Aviv, April 14 - Leaders of the country's most progressive parties came to the sobering conclusion this week that while Continental governments invest tens of millions of Euros to advance regional goals congruent with the sensibilities of those progressive parties - and at odds with the majority of the country's electorate - the same governments and intergovernmental organizations can submit not a single legal ballot in the Jewish State's elections, creating some tension between those governments' declared goal of promoting democracy and the de facto outcome of thwarting the democratically-expressed will of the aforementioned electorate - and generating discomfort for the progressives who also claim the mantle of safeguarding democracy from the authoritarian, fascist demagogues who refuse to accept progressive assumptions. Benny Ganz, Yair Golan, Merav Michaeli, and other prominent figures on the left side of Israel's political spectrum voiced their dismay over the last several days upon either being informed or discovering on their own that the projects, programs, initiatives, and movements that their friends in the European Union and its various constituent governments fund in amounts that would make Sheldon Adelson blush even in death, grant the...Read More |
From Ian: Caroline Glick: Palestinian Terrorism Meets Israeli Paralysis As for the Palestinian Authority (PA), it has been actively sponsoring and inciting the terror offensive against Israel. The terrorist who killed three Israelis in a shooting attack last Thursday at a bar in Tel Aviv was the son of a brigadier general in the PA security services. His father greeted the crowd of well-wishers outside his palatial home in Jenin on Friday morning with a fiery tirade against the Jews, wherein he promised Israel's destruction "in this generation" to great applause. The Bennett-Lapid government has taken no action against the PA, in response. It can't. Not only will Gantz not permit it. The far-left Meretz and Labor parties would bolt the coalition if the government takes any action that undermines the PA, even as the PA is acting as the main engine inciting, incentivizing and glorifying Palestinian terrorists and Arab-Israeli terrorism against Israeli Jews. Mansour Abbas has worked hard over the past two years to present himself and his party as less interested in destroying Israel than in bettering the lives of Arab-Israelis. This is not the case with the majority of the Joint Arab List, a coalition of three Arab parties, whose members generally support Israel's destruction. Ayman Odeh, for instance, has advocated on behalf of Hezbollah. Earlier this week, Odeh called on Arab...Read More |
Yesterday, Noura Erakat gave a lecture at the Illinois Global Institute of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, titled, "Unfinished Business: Zionism as Racism and Racial Discrimination."
The lecture was publicized as being co-sponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
I tweeted how absurd it is that a literal hate apeech that characterizes Jewish nationalism - and ONLY Jewish nationalism - as racism should be co-sponsored by an organization that supposedly cares about inclusion. I also created this meme to educate the Diversity office. Others complained as well.
Finally, after the lecture, the University sent out a mass mailing to all students: Dear Students Faculty and Staff: The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity Equity & Inclusion was incorrectly identified as a co-sponsor for a campus lecture titled "Unfinished Business Zionism as Racism and Racial Discrimination." As worded, this title does not invite participation and engagement with all members of our Community and does not represent the values of our university. Academic freedom and freedom of expression are bedrock principles of this institution and are necessary for the exploration of controversial, divisive or uncomfortable issues...Read More |
This morning, the IDF killed Shas Kamamji as he tried to resist being arrested. (Three of his brothers were arrested; another brother was one of the Palestinians who briefly escaped the Gilboa prison last September.)
Abu Ali Express has some photos of Shas Kamamji.
This one shows how peaceful he was. But this one is even more interesting: The graffiti says "The people of the streets" - with a swastika.
Unlike other swastikas one sometimes sees made by Palestinians, this one isn't accusing Israel of being Nazi. This isn't meant to mock Jewish suffering. The graffiti shows solidarity with Nazis and Nazi philosophy in a place where it would only be seen by fellow Arabs.
And Shas Kamamji, who appears to have been a member of Islamic Jihad, clearly embraces that desire to support Nazi ideology. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!
