| Proving yet again that anti-Zionists are antisemites: Using the Torah in a sinister graphic designnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 May 04:45 AM On | | On Sunday, David Miller - the antisemitic professor from Bristol University who spins conspiracy theories that are identical to those of the Goyim Defense League, and who was fired after saying that Jewish students were "pawns" of the Israeli government, which incidentally is hell bent on taking over the world - returned to Twitter after a prolonged absence with a cryptic tweet that seems to say that the Zionist UAE forced him off the platform: Anyway, Miller says he has been working on his latest anti-Israel project. He is allying with Iran's PressTV to produce original short anti-Israel clips of 2 minutes or less, taking short sections of interviews and other stories on PressTV, all of which are aimed at the only Jewish state.
His YouTube channel, "Palestine Declassified," has so far attracted practically no one. But some of the brief reports that pretend to be exposes of Zionist evil use a very interesting graphic design.
Here is a screenshot from part one of their short video on the "nakba:"

From Ian: The Nakba continues It is indeed ironic that Arabs within Israel would see today as a catastrophe as well. Arabs in Israel need only survey the state of things in the nations that surround them to see how well they have done, how much they have benefited for being Israelis. Is their situation ideal? Hardly. There is room for improvement, and assuming Arabs' collegial interest in being part of the ongoing saga of Israel, there is a growing desire among Jews to integrate them into the warp and woof of Israeli society. As it is, Arabs enjoy full civil and religious rights. They have extensive access to the best education and the most respected careers. They enjoy untrammeled access to Jewish towns and cities without offering reciprocal accessibility to Jews in their own villages. If being an Arab in Israel is a catastrophe, one is hard pressed to imagine what a success would look like. The sad reality is that quality of life – a good one in the case of Israeli Arabs and a poor one in the case of Palestinian Arabs – does not trump ideological considerations. Those Israeli Arabs who ignore the blessings of their Israeli citizenship while actively hoping for its demise define ingratitude. The Palestinian Arabs who refuse to demand better conditions in their host countries are willing participants in a futile endeavor. The common thread linking all of the various Nakba sensibilities is the simple refusal to...Read More |
CAIR and a bunch of other anti-Israel groups, most of them Muslim, issued this press release: In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful We, the undersigned Muslim American organizations, express our unified support for the human rights of all people, including Palestinians. We also express our unified rejection of attempts to smear and silence members of our community who advocate for Palestinian human rights. Far too often, Muslim Americans and others come under attack for daring to call on our nation to stop supporting the Israeli government's human rights abuses against the Palestinian people. ADL Director Jonathan Greenblatt's decision to attack prominent Jewish, Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian human rights activists, including college students, was only the latest example of this unacceptable pattern. This must end. Groups like the ADL must not marginalize and slander members of our community working for human rights. As Muslim Americans, we stand united with each other in upholding justice. We also stand with the Jewish Americans, Christian Americans, Arab Americans, Palestinian Americans, African Americans, and many others who have been unfairly attacked for supporting justice for all. The American Muslim community has vocally, collectively, and consistently stood up against all forms of hatred, including racism...Read More |
On Friday, President Biden met with Jordan's King Abdullah in Washington - the second meeting between the two. The White House readout did not mention anything about the US request for the extradition of terrorist Ahlam Tamimi being repeatedly refused by Jordan despite the signed agreement between the countries.
But it did mention the administration's position on Jordan and Jerusalem, which pleased the king to no end: "The President affirmed his strong support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and cited the need to preserve the historic status quo at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. The president also recognized the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's crucial role as the custodian of Muslim holy places in Jerusalem."
This contradicts what Israeli prime minister had said the previous week: "All decisions regarding the Temple Mount and Jerusalem will be made by the Israeli government, which holds sovereignty over the city, without any foreign considerations."
In practical terms, this means that the Biden administration is against freedom of worship, or even against Jews visiting their holist spot, because the Jordanian Waqf insists that Jews have no right to do this.
But there is also a self-contradictory phrase in this White House statement.
The "historic status quo" of the...Read More |
From Ian: The Three D's and The Killing of Shireen Abu Akleh All this translates to the average news consumer only knowing about the response (the effect) and not the cause. This means that for the average news consumer, all they are reading about or seeing is the firemen taking an ax to a door – they have no idea that the firemen are responding to a fire. This leads demonization leads to delegitimization. After all, if Israeli soldiers, without any context or apparent cause are going into places like Jenin "gun blazing," then why not accuse them of "murder" without any evidence – as Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and many international media outlets did within minutes of Abu Akleh's death, and before there was even a hint of an investigation (let alone an impartial one using actual forensics). And if you believe Israel is just attacking people without reason, because you never read about bombs being blown up on Israeli buses, the thousands of rockets fired at Israel from Gaza, or the string of mass-murder attacks directed by terrorist groups in Jenin, then you may be quick to conclude those Jews and their Jewish state are just too evil to exist anymore. Lastly, we have the infamous double standard, which as Sharansky has pointed out, gets all too often applied to Israel. Regarding the death of Abu Akleh that double standard is also made evident by some simple Google...Read More |
I've been wondering whether the conventional wisdom has been wrong since Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov claimed that Hitler had Jewish blood after Israel expressed its displeasure.
The standard analysis was like this one from Newsweek:
While Israel and Russia would likely continue their balancing act of relations based on a range of mutual interests in the Middle East, any tensions between the two raise an uncomfortable truth for the former. Israel effectively needs Russia's approval to conduct operations freely against Iran and its allies in Syria. This is true, but Russia also has great interest in not upsetting Israel.
The Media Line reports: The main party deterring Israel from being more aggressive in Syria used to be Russia. But this might be changing. Russian military bases have spread across Syria since 2015 when President Vladimir Putin intervened to save the Assad regime from losing the country's civil war. While Russian air defense systems are in use in some parts of the country, Israel continues to enjoy a large degree of freedom of action in Syrian skies. "Russia is no match for Israel's air superiority," says Zvi Magen, head of the Russia research program at Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) and a former Israeli intelligence officer. "Russia...Read More |
Israel haters, as always, are trying to hijack every news story to make it about Jewish evil. Even though the far-Right murderer of 10 people in Buffalo was an antisemite as well as a racist, Israel-haters want to create an analogy between his beliefs and Israel: Because every news story is ultimately about Jewish oppression of Palestinians, and every evil force in the world is comparable to Jews in Israel. Nothing antisemitic about that!
Cohen's and IfNotNow's analogy falls apart, as always, with two seconds of thought. The US doesn't define itself as a "white nation." Israel's entire reason for existence is to provide a secure place for the Jewish people to live without fear of being pawns at the whims of the leaders of the countries they reside in, as they have been so many times throughout history, including today.
Opposing that desire Jewish self determination is opposing the Jewish right to live as truly free people.
Beyond that, as is usually the case, is that Palestinian Arabs and allies have always acted towards Jews exactly like Buffalo murderer Payton S. Gendron acted towards Black people - with the exact same philosophy.
White supremacists espouse the "14 word" slogan, written David Lane who murdered Jewish radio host Alan Berg in 1984, that "we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." But he also...Read More |
