From Ian: Mark Regev: Islam has never had a tolerance for the Jewish state Many of today's anti-Zionists will be surprised to learn that discrimination of Jews under Islamic rule was recorded by none other than Karl Marx. Writing in 1854, some half-century prior to the rise of political Zionism, Marx described the situation of Jerusalem's Jews under Ottoman rule: "Nothing equals the misery and the suffering of the Jews of Jerusalem, inhabiting the most filthy quarter of the town… [They are] the constant objects of oppression and intolerance…" In the decades following Marx's article, the situation of Jews in the Middle East improved with the lessening of historic dhimmi discrimination. But as this process was inspired by liberal European ideas, it brought with it an anti-Jewish backlash, heightening the association of the indigenous Jew with the hated foreigner. Paradoxically, many Muslims who rejected western influence still eagerly embraced European antisemitic tropes, including the blood libel, most famously in Damascus in 1840, and the global Jewish conspiracy, evident in numerous Arabic editions of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Undoubtedly the birth and development of Zionism contributed to Islamic hostility, building upon long-standing prejudicial attitudes. For while traditional Islam was willing to tolerate Jews whose status was safely inferior, Jewish aspirations for national self-determination and...Read More |
I love virtue signaling.
From Algemeiner: "Palestinians have basically said … that Zionism is a bedfellow of Nazism and antisemitism," claimed Rutgers University assistant professor Noura Erakat during an April 13 webinar. Sponsored by the University of Illinois's Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (CASMES), her presentation on "Unfinished Business: Zionism as Racism and Racial Discrimination," further established her reputation as one of academia's leading bigots. Her lies and antisemitism are all over the place: Zionist Jews "do not want to assimilate with non-Jewish society," she claimed, without explaining whether religious preferences or even communal survival for relatively small groups, including Jews, requires limits to assimilation. "Jewish superiority" is "fundamentally rooted in the belief that Jews are God's chosen people." Hmmm. Israel wants relations with all Arab and Muslim countries, many of them want nothing to do with the Jewish state. Zionist Jews are interested in dialogue with ll, BDSers like Noura Erakat want no one to speak to them. Who's intolerant again? But this is the part I really love:
"I recognize myself in North America as a settler," who is "white adjacent," yet proud of being "quite brown," she said eagerly.A lot of social justice warriors love to identify which part of Native American land they are living.

Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory. Check out their Facebook page. Sorry, I'm Still Working On My Op-Ed Arguing Selling Chametz To Non-Jews Is Exploitative
By Peter Beinart To: Dean Baquet, Executive Editor, NY times I must offer my apologies, Dean. I know that a week or two ago we agreed that I would supply an opinion article for the Times exploring the myriad ways in which the Jewish practice of arranging for someone outside the faith to purchase leavened-grain products before Passover - to avoid adherents from violating a Biblical injunction against possessing such products during the festival - places the purchaser - and by extent anyone outside Judaism - in a vulnerable economic or social position, and likely constitutes hate speech or violence or even settler-colonialism. But development of the article has defied my predictions, and I fear it will remain unfinished even after Passover ends this weekend and the valence of the issue fades. My original pitch, I readily acknowledge, offered what I considered at the time a robust conceptual basis for the assertion. The ensuing days, however, have demonstrated my premature assumption that I could offer an analysis for Times readers that makes a sufficiently-compelling case devoid of blatant use of so-called "tropes" that feature in too many antisemitic instances to...Read More |
From Ian: Ruthie Blum: The Temple Mount travesty and poor US policy FOREIGN MINISTER Yair Lapid adopted an equally powerless stance. After speaking on the phone with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, he recounted having "emphasized Israel's responsible and measured efforts in the face of riots by hundreds of Islamic extremists on the Temple Mount," and insisted that Israel "would not tolerate calls for violence." Oh dear. Al-Khasawneh and Abdullah must have been shaking in their boots – double-time when they heard that Lapid had impressed upon Blinken the "need for international support to restore calm to Jerusalem." International support? Where from, exactly? The Israel-bashing Security Council? Perhaps he was angling for a helping hand from Blinken himself, who last month "discussed [with Bennett] ways to foster a peaceful Passover, Ramadan and Easter across Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, particularly in Jerusalem... [such as] working to prevent actions on all sides that could raise tensions, including settlement expansion, settler violence, incitement to violence, demolitions, payments to individuals convicted of terrorism [and] evictions of families from homes they've lived in for decades." All one needs to grasp just how wrong the thinking and behavior of Bennett, Lapid and their American counterparts has been is a review of the period leading up to and responsible for the Abraham Accords. On April 30...Read More |
Turkish news service TRTWorld tweeted a video where the announcer completely contradicts what the video is showing: You can clearly see the fireworks being shot from inside the mosque, and not a hint of Israeli police. Yet the announcer says that the Palestinians are taking shelter to avoid "Israeli fire."
The police did fire flash bombs and people did run into the mosque - after this scene.
I've seen deceptive captions on photos before to tell people they are looking at something other than what they are seeing, but this is exceptionally egregious.
In a similar vein, here's a video of Jews visiting the Temple Mount this morning, the last day they will be allowed to do so this month. Palestinians are trying to intimidate the Jews by chanting slogans at them, and the Jews good-naturedly clap along, wave and even dance to the attempts at intimidation. The caption at Al Qastal: "Colonial Israeli settlers perform Talmudic prayers to provoke Palestinians during the storming of Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque"
See? Jews smiling and laughing at attempts to intimidate them is a provocation against the sensitive feelings of Palestinians! * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon! Or order from your...Read More |
Estephan Salameh, who is the advisor to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas for aid coordination, says that no foreign countries have paid a red cent so far this year of their pledges to help the Palestinian budget.
He said, "We expect to receive 200 to 300 million dollars in international financial support for the Palestinian government treasury this year, but so far none of those financial pledges have arrived."
Speaking to Voice of Palestine Radio, Salameh said that in 2021, the PAlestinian Authority only received 10% of the amount it had gotten in 2013 and 2014. That was when the EU and Arab governments didn't care about accountability or transparency. Humanitarian and development support towards NGOs have not been affected much at all, he said. A donors' conference, scheduled to be held on May 5 in Brussels, will attempt to garner international support for the Palestinian treasury, and the Palestinians hope to convince attendees to pressure Israel to stop reducing tax revenues in the amount that the Abbas regime uses to pay terrorists and their families, which is a significant portion of the PA budget. In 2021, the PA paid some $270 million as rewards to terrorists. Obliquely alluding to the well known corruption in the PA that has prompted the huge drop in aid, Salameh added, ""We are implementing a comprehensive reform plan, especially in the financial and economic sectors...Read More |
