| Eyewitnesses to Shireen Abu Aklehs''s death initially said she was shot by SNIPERS IN BUILDINGS. (The IDF wasn't shooting from buildings.)noreply@blo | | More evidence keeps pouring in that Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Palestinian terrorists, not by the IDF, as my comprehensive video showed. The latest ones confirm what I have been saying and showing, that she was killed by Palestinian snipers on and in buildings to her southeast. More interestingly, they come from eyewitnesses - which Ap and CNN consider credible as to explain what happened. This video from Abu Akleh's colleague, Shatha Hanaysha, who was next to her as she died, says it all: Reporter: "Did you see the sniper who was shooting at you?" Shatha Hanaysha: "We saw the crowd pointing at the building where the snipers were. What happened is that we were standing across from a building with snipers." There were no IDF troops shooting from buildings. But as we have seen, some of the witnesses on the scene pointed out "shebab" snipers on and in buildings to the southeast of where Shireen was shot. The only buildings "across" from Shireen and Shatha are to the east and southeast. In the full interview, she makes other references to the snipers/"soldiers" being opposite her, saying that "the soldiers were right...Read More |
From Ian: CAMERA Op-Ed: The U.S. State Department and Antisemitism On April 12, 2022, the State Department published its 2021 "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Israel, West Bank and Gaza." As the Jewish Insider, among others, noted, the document relied extensively on Amnesty International, an NGO that has accused Israel of "apartheid." But as the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) has highlighted, Amnesty's accusations are steeped in shoddy research, double standards, and baseless claims. The head of Amnesty's US office, Paul O'Brien, has said that the organization is opposed to the existence of the world's sole Jewish state. And, as NGO Monitor and CAMERA have documented, several Amnesty employees have made antisemitic comments and openly supported the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which singles out Israel for opprobrium and seeks its destruction. In February 2022, the US Ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides, even called Amnesty's libel "absurd." Yet, none of this stopped the State Department from citing Amnesty. Indeed, in some quarters, it may have recommended it. The American foreign service, it must be said, is filled with hardworking and talented professionals who, no doubt, reject hate in all its forms. There is no evidence to suggest that the majority hold views that are anti-Israel or even antisemitic...Read More |

The Committee of the National and Islamic Forces in Gaza is holding an "emergency meeting" today because of a comment made last month by the Commissioner-General of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, last month.
What was the terrible thing Lazzarini said?
He suggested that UNRWA outsource some of its functions to other UN agencies (that have consistent budgets.)
He pointed out the obvious fact that UNRWA's expenses can only go up as they keep adding new "refugees" to their rolls and never take any off, nor do they have a mechanism to take anyone off. Right now UNRWA goes begging for donations every few months because otherwise it would close down.
Palestinians went crazy, saying that this would be the first step towards UNRWA's dissolution. Why does that matter if they continue to get their services? Glad you asked: UNRWA is "not just about the delivery of services," said Muhammed Shehada from the Swiss-based Euro-Mediterranean Human...Read More |
From Ian: Meir Y. Soloveichik: 'These Stones Are Not Silent' Begin's point is at once simple and profound, and what he wrote about the Western Wall is all the more true about the top of the Temple Mount itself, the site of "the great flame" and "the house that once stood" on that site. Are the stones silent or are they not? Is there still a profound Jewish connection to this site or not? If these stones are not silent, if they still whisper, "sending out their light across the generations," how could a Jew possibly visit the sacred without being moved to prayer? And if the stones of the Temple Mount are indeed dead, silent, no longer linked to a living Judaism—if reverence for them is mere "old fashioned prejudice—then it makes sense to allow Jewish visitors as mere tourists, uttering nary a word, their silence paralleling those of the stones themselves. But then, why is the Western Wall itself a site of Jewish longing, and why should Jerusalem itself be of importance to Jews? The question of what the Temple Mount embodies is bound up with the identity of the Jewish people, and of the State of Israel. Norman Podhoretz has suggested that the quest to divide Jerusalem is an attempt to assault the "scandal of Jewish particularity," the notion that Jews have a unique destiny linked to one land on the earth. In the Bible, this "scandal" is made most manifest on the Temple Mount, where...Read More |
The Abraham Accords continues to fuel levels of cooperation between Israel and the Arab world that could not have been dreamed of two years ago.
Today, Israel and the UAE signed a free trade agreement - the first between Israel and an Arab country.
But even more amazing is that Saudi Arabia is now inviting Israeli businesspeople to the Kingdom, using their Israeli passports - and deals are being signed: "Globes" has learned that, for months, Saudi Arabia has been permitting Israeli businesspeople - mainly representatives and managers of Israeli technology companies invited by the Saudis - to enter its territory on Israeli passports with special entry visas. The change that has taken place in recent months is the lifting of the blanket ban that had been in place, and easing of the special visa issue process. Dozens of businesspeople have taken advantage of this opportunity and visited Riyadh, the economic center of Saudi Arabia, and also other places like Neom - the city of the future being built not far from the Red Sea coast. These visits have spawned quite a few deals, including two desert agriculture deals worth millions of dollars.... These projects have significance for the entire Middle East, as they also demonstrate to other countries in the region Israel's ability...Read More |
Felesteen, a Hamas newspaper, reports: On Monday, a Palestinian official revealed the Palestinian Authority's protest to regional and international parties, due to the marginalization of its role and the failure to communicate with it regarding the repercussions of the "flags march" in the occupied city of Jerusalem. The official - who preferred not to be named - told the newspaper "Felesteen": "The office of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has contacted Arab and international bodies, complaining to them that they have made [direct] contacts with the head of Hamas' political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, to calm the situation in the Palestinian territories after the "flags march." and the provocations of the settlers. He added that "instructions were issued by the Office of the Presidency of the Authority to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shtayyeh's government to intensify its efforts, in order to cut regional and international communication with the leaders of Hamas." Haniyeh had received several Arab and international warnings demanding calming in the Palestinian arena, and not to be drawn into an explosive situation because of the "flags march", for fear of a new military confrontation between the Gaza Strip and the occupation.
The Palestinian Authority is upset because they want to maintain the fiction that they are the leaders of Gaza as well and all diplomatic communications to Hamas must go through them...Read More |
