| Mondoweiss and neo-Nazis agree: Jews control America!noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Jun 04:45 AM Did you know Obama was pro-Israel? Did you know | | Did you know Obama was pro-Israel? Did you know that Jews controlled the 1992 election electing Clinton, and the 1980 election electing Reagan? The claims are ludicrous - but Mondoweiss makes them.
In an article doubling down on support for the Boston Mapping Project, which apes the classic right-wing graphics showing how Jews supposedly control the media or the banks, Mondoweiss made the claim that this is only meant to expose the truth that Jews really do control America.: Jimmy Carter was a one-term president in part because he took on the Israel lobby over settlements. Stuart Eizenstat, Carter's liaison to the Jewish community and later Hillary Clinton's, wrote recently that Carter ascribed his loss to the opposition of "New York Jews" who had formerly supported him but were alarmed by his criticisms of Israel's settlements.

Indeed, in 1992, Bill Clinton won the presidency and ran to Bush's right on Israel issues, and gained the blessings of the lead Israel lobby organization AIPAC. AIPAC had unfettered access to the White House under Barack Obama, too. Obama's top foreign policy aide, Ben Rhodes, has said that he spent more time dealing with 10 to 20 Jewish groups than anyone else, and those groups were piping the Israeli government...Read More |
From Ian: Jonathan Tobin: Condemning the 'mapping project' isn't enough It may be more open in its willingness to label anyone remotely connected to Israel – as is the case with the entire Jewish community other than anti-Zionists – as criminally complicit with the effort to defend the Jewish state and to an America that they see as a bastion of racism. But there is no real difference between this map, and the labeling of Jews and Israel as examples of "white privilege" that is the engine of oppression that is part of CRT indoctrination and intersectional propaganda heard elsewhere. It is those ideas that helped motivate 83 House Democrats to sign a joint letter last month demanding that the United States oppose the demolition of an illegal encampment in the West Bank that has been upheld by the Israeli Supreme Court. Weeks before, 57 members of the Democrats' Progressive Caucus signed a similar letter demanding an "independent" investigation into the death of a Palestinian journalist who was killed in the crossfire during an Israeli counter-terrorism operation in Jenin. Both efforts illustrate the way increasingly large numbers of Democrats are taking up Palestinian propaganda attacks against Israel. These letters, promoted by anti-Israel groups, show how the same ideological arguments that back up CRT and intersectionality have resonance on the political left when applied to Israel...Read More |
In June, 1962, the American Jewish Congress sponsored a conference in Jerusalem about maintaining the relationship between American Jews and Israel, which they were afraid would fray within 10-20 years.
American Jews remain overwhelmingly Zionist even 60 years after those dire predictions.

Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory. Check out their Facebook page. We Don't Specifically \*Want\* To Genocide Jews From Palestine - We Just Want Nobody To Interfere If We \*Do\*
By Marwan Shibli, Palestinian activist Gaza City, June 19 - Too much misunderstanding and willful distortion of the Palestinian position pervade the rhetoric surrounding the issue, to the point that many people wrongly assume we aim to kill every Jew between the River and the Sea, along with whoever gets in the way. In fact we plan no such set of operations once we remove the colonialist pig-dog usurper invader Jews from our land - rather, in the eventuality that we do conduct such operations, we insist that everyone stay out of the way. A casual reading of our statements and literature might convey the incorrect impression that, upon achieving the longed-for liberation of our land, we will continue the same treatment of Jews that we have demonstrated for a hundred years. Such an attitude ignores the fact that we will be sovereign, not under the - sometimes nominal - boot of Israel, the British, the Ottomans, or whoever. That means we will enjoy the power to choose our own method of dealing with the Jews, unencumbered by occupiers' preventive policies. Of course genocide will be on the table - but the point is not that we intend specifically...Read More |
From Ian: Danny Danon: The UNHRC's diplomatic terrorism The bias and absurdity of the report are made clear by a simple scan of the contents and the observation that throughout 18 pages of Israel-bashing only a handful of paragraphs are allocated to the atrocities committed by Arab terror organizations such as Hamas, which publicly declares that one of its goals is the complete destruction of the State of Israel. Given that the council has been outed time and again for its anti-Israel bias, it is unsurprising that the UNHRC report perpetuates and even intensifies this hostility towards the Jewish state. For example, the report completely disregards the more than 4,000 rockets fired at Israel over the course of the 11-day conflict last May. Not only does it ignore this crucial issue, but it goes further. It undermines and criticizes a democratic country whose only "crime" is to defend itself against this barrage of rockets launched at an innocent civilian population. Instead of rallying to Israel's defense against a brutal attack by bloodthirsty radicals, the UNHRC report sides with the aggressive Arab terrorists who injured not only Jewish citizens but Arabs in Israel and the Gaza Strip. Instead of aligning itself with a democracy that had no alternative but to defend itself and its citizens, the report collaborates with terrorists. This does nothing to promote peace. In fact, it does precisely...Read More |
I always see the Forward find Jewish angles in the most goyishe seeming parts of pop culture, so I'll do one too - from decades ago. "Bewitched" was a hugely popular TV series about a witch Samantha, who marries mortal man Darrin Stevens. Most plots involve her magical relatives meddling in her marriage, especially her disapproving mother, Endora. The show was created by Sol Saks under executive director Harry Ackerman and director William Asher. Saks and Ackerman were Jewish, Asher's father was Jewish and he married Bewitched's star, Elizabeth Montgomery. Many people see the show as an allegory for the Jewish American experience. Samantha comes from the old country but wants to assimilate in American society, while her relatives disapprove of her mixed marriage to a mortal. Endora looks very "foreign." Darrin loves her but wants her to be a "normal" woman and not perform her strange rituals. He's tolerant - but not that tolerant. In the pilot episode, when Darrin marries Samantha, the theme of prejudice is made explicit. Endora says, "You're still very young and inexperienced. You don't know what prejudice you'll run into!" And later, when Samantha first tells Darrin her secret, he exclaims, "Okay, if you're a witch, where's your black hat and broom and how come you're out when it isn't even Halloween? Samantha answers, "Mother was right, you're prejudiced!" There is one other telling incident in the pilot. Darren...Read More |
I mentioned yesterday that the founder of Bellingcat, Eliot Higgins, started insulting my research about the Shireen Abu Akleh while refusing to actually say what my mistakes were. This pattern continued throughout the day on Twitter as people pressed him that an OSINT researcher should take criticism seriously.
Higgins has been ignoring my responses, but he started answering others today. Here are his few specific critiques of my research as he engaged with tweeter Jonah Balfour, who is a fine researcher: EH: The interpretation of the "sniper" videos are a real tell when it comes to the author's biases. JB: In what way? He had someone translate the video in which one of the witnesses points to "snipers" in houses towards the southeast. Again, you criticize his interpretation without saying what's wrong with it. Screenshot of his transcript below...Read More |
