From Ian: JPost Editorial: This Passover we remember that not all are free At a time when Jews are focusing on the freedom we struggled to obtain, it is a time for us to remember the hardships and lack of freedoms that others are facing. Russia is depriving the Ukrainian people of their most basic right – the right to live. Ukrainians aren't the only people facing massive threats to their freedoms. At any given moment in 2016, an estimated 40.3 million people were held as slaves, according to the International Labor Organization, with "24.9 million people trapped in forced labour, 16 million people exploited in the private sector such as domestic work, construction or agriculture; 4.8 million persons in forced sexual exploitation; and four million persons in forced labor imposed by state authorities." Meanwhile, the people of North Korea are starving to death under one of the world's most oppressive regimes. People there are forced into unpaid labor under threat of detention or execution. The dictatorial regime attempts to stop anyone from leaving the state, blocking their communication with the outside world. Much like the Jews in Egypt, they are slaves to an oppressive ruler who does not care if they live or die. In China, more than a million Uighurs have reportedly been detained in "reeducation camps," as the state calls them. Those who have survived their imprisonment say they were tortured and...Read More |
According to the Hamas site Felesteen: The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Israel is trying to take advantage of the situation in Ukraine in order to divert the attention of the international community from the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It said Israel is violating many resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly of the United Nations, and continues its illegal occupation and annexation of Palestinian lands. The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that the Israeli occupation of Palestine comes from the tacit complicity of Western countries and with the actual support of the United States of America. Israel is truly amazing. Everything it does is either a horrible human rights crime, or an attempt to divert attention from horrible human rights crimes. Every citizens spends every waking moment coming up with ways to distract the international community. The paragon of human rights itself, Russia, has spoken. It sounds a lot like Jewish Voice for Peace. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon! Or order from your favorite bookseller, using ISBN 9798985708424.

From Ian: UN Official Takes a Final, Parting Shot at Israel Lynk is true to form in his report to the UNHRC, where his inflammatory rhetoric again shows his bias. For example, he characterizes Israel as "a covetous alien power" caught in "the fever-dream of settler-colonialism." In Gaza, he says, Israel subjects the population to a "medieval military blockade" aimed at the "indefinite warehousing of an unwanted population." Overall, Israel's "intent is for the Palestinians to be encased in a political ossuary, a museum relic of 21st century colonialism." Sounds like a calm, objective analysis, doesn't it? Lynk rests his argument on what can charitably be called a creative reading of the law. He notes that the Convention Against Apartheid and the 1998 Rome Statute both speak in terms of race. Thus, the essence of the crime of apartheid, he says, is one race oppressing another. This raises some inconvenient questions. For example, are Israeli Jews a race? Or are they a nation with a diverse population? Are Palestinians a separate race? And didn't the UN resolve this whole matter when it repealed the "Zionism is racism" resolution? Clearly, Lynk is uncomfortable with these questions, and would rather not deal with them. Instead, he tries to rely on a novel theory proposed by Norwegian professor Carola Lingaas, who "argues that race in international criminal law should be constructed...Read More |
I often wonder when I see accusations by Palestinians that Jews are planning something nefarious - accusations that never come true - whether they are driven by stupidity or malice. A typical example comes from academic and author Dr. Louay Bawana who confidently writes in Jordanian news site Rums: The Jews have no right to Al-Aqsa, and all they tell and try to prove are myths. The danger of these rituals is embodied by the sacrifices they will make and the work to slaughter them inside the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, as it represents, in their view, an advanced and important step for their extremist project related to the alleged temple. From our point of view, it is also a dangerous step that represents an attempt to change the status quo of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by force and violence, with the support of the Israeli government, and a clear international, Arab and Islamic absence. The summit of their rituals is embodied by offering sacrifices and slaughtering them in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and scattering their ashes in the Dome of the Chain area there... The question that arises. What are the Arabs and Muslims waiting for as peoples and leaders? ? The storming will take place tomorrow, Friday, and sacrifices will be slaughtered, and rituals will be practiced before our eyes there, with the protection of the Israeli police, and the martyrs will fall. And the situation explodes and then we intervene and denounce...Read More |
In preparation of throwing rocks at Jews and Israeli police, Palestinian youths spent the night taking larger boulders and breaking them up to make them the ideal size for hurling and for slinging, as this video shows: On the east side of the Temple Mount there are thousands of huge boulders piled up. My tour guide for my last visit in 2019, Rabbi Chaim Richman of the Temple Institute, pointed out to me that some of them are carved - meaning that they were part of ancient buildings, possibly even the Temple itself. Here's a screenshot from that visit. The rocks that these Arab "worshippers" are destroying so they can throw them at Jews could be of inestimable archaeological value. These photos of the rocks in preparation for throwing show at least some that had obviously been previously used for some building purpose, with 90 degree corners and smooth surfaces: UNESCO claims to care so much about protecting heritage sites. They routinely condemn Israeli archaeologists who are extraordinarily careful with their methods of digging and preserving ancient treasures. Yet in the most sacred and archaeologically sensitive spot on the planet, the people who pretend to care so much about preserving cultural heritage are completely silent. Someone should really ask UNESCO why that is. (video and photos from...Read More |
