| As most Arab antisemitism gets muted, Jordanian media Jew-hate increasesnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Jul 04:45 AM Jordanian media doesn't even | | Jordanian media doesn't even try to hide its antisemitism. Addustour, a major newspaper, has called Jews the devil, said that Jews are the most stubborn enemies of Islam, and only recently that Jews lie about the Holocaust. On Saturday, columnist Rashid Hassan came up with an interesting alternate history of Palestine: The White House and the whole world knows that Palestine is the homeland of the Palestinian Arab people, and Biden knows, if he reads history, that the Jews are an invading nation.. They occupied Palestine.. Just as your people, Mr. Biden, occupied America, and exterminated tens of millions of Red Indians -- with Britain's support. ... History has proven that the Palestinian people established a developed state that surpassed Britain and France in civility and progress. and institutions... Not only have Jews never lived in the region, but he reminds us of that famous Palestinian state and all its developed institutions! Meanwhile, in...Read More |
From Ian: Joe Truzman: How The United Nations Overlooks Evidence Of Hamas Human Rights Violations Last month, a new United Nations Commission of Inquiry released its first report on human rights violations committed by Israelis and Palestinians. While the report condemns Israel for having "no intention of ending the occupation" and "having clear policies for ensuring complete control over the Occupied Palestinian Territory," the authors make no serious attempt to document war crimes committed by Hamas-led militant organizations, such as the use of human shields and child soldiers. This is not just an oversight. I know from experience that UN investigators have difficulty processing information that points toward misconduct by Palestinian armed factions. Four years ago, a UN team investigating the violent 2018-2019 Gaza protests interviewed me to discuss my research. The team was looking at the role of Palestinian militant organizations in fomenting the unrest, commonly known as the Great March of Return. The lead investigator questioned me on a range of subjects related to the riots, such as how I obtained evidence of terrorist activity at the Gaza border and my opinion on how Palestinian militant organizations were involved in the Gaza protests. My evidence was derived from various open-source channels, and it was compelling: Hamas and like-minded...Read More |
From Ian: Yair Rosenberg: Why Does America Support Israel? Walter Russell Mead is not Jewish, but he knows more about Jews than most Jews. The son of an Episcopal priest from South Carolina, Mead is the Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities at Bard College, and previously taught foreign policy at Yale, a subject about which he has written several books. But when we first met, some 10 years ago, he wanted to tell me about the Blackstone Memorial. The Blackstone Memorial was a petition presented to President Benjamin Harrison in 1891. It was signed by 431 prominent Americans, including J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, future President William McKinley, the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and numerous congresspeople, as well as several notable organizations, including the Washington Post and New York Times. What urgent message did this star-studded manifesto convey to the American president? It was a plea to return the Jewish people to their historic homeland in the Middle East. Far removed from the work of Jewish activists, it was compiled years before the Jewish writer Theodor Herzl would kick off the modern Zionist movement. Mead had come across the remarkable document in the course of researching what would eventually become his next book. A decade later, he has finally published the results of his inquiry into the historical...Read More |
From Ian: Melanie Phillips: Warm words and empty gestures Yet America's fixation with doing a deal remains unshakeable. The White House is insisting that even Iran's decision to send drones to Russia won't affect the negotiations. When Lapid insisted that diplomacy wouldn't stop Iran's nuclear programme, Biden publicly disagreed and insisted that "diplomacy is the best way". Nevertheless, there's been a slight shift in language. Biden said he was prepared to use military force "as a last resort" to stop Iran's growing nuclear programme. This week, Biden and Lapid signed the Jerusalem Declaration formalising the US-Israel Strategic Partnership. This says that America and Israel will "use all elements of national power" — which would include military measures — to ensure that Iran doesn't obtain a nuclear weapon. But what does this mean? Given the Biden administration's previous form, that "last resort" would probably not be until an Iranian nuclear missile was on the point of being fired. For the Israelis, the "last resort" would undoubtedly arrive far sooner. If Israel were to attack Iran, would the US help — or try to stop it? And Biden's declaration that Iran will never get a nuclear weapon is hollow, considering that the Obama administration made the same pledge even as it formulated the 2015 deal that guaranteed Iranian nuclear break-out capacity with only a few years' delay. So a measure...Read More |
Israel is a leader in lab-grown cultured meat. But according to at least one academic, this is symbolic of Israeli colonialism.
Yes, really.
Efrat Gilad is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Jewish Studies at the University of Bern. She wrote "A Colonial Legacy of Cultured Meat" describing how Israel's meat industry, including its recent leadership in lab-grown cultured meat, is really all just a history of Jewish colonialism.
Without the politics, the article would be a pretty good overview of the history of the meat industry in Palestine since Ottoman times. But instead, it is a screed about how evil Jews have upset the wonderful balance of nature in Palestine by introducing a meat-based diet into the region.
You see, native Palestinians didn't consume much meat. But the evil Ashkenazi Jews who selfishly returned to Palestine to save their lives from pogroms brought with them a love of meat, and that transformed the country into something it was never meant to be. In Europe, Jews had been associated with the cattle trade since the Middle Ages. But in Palestine, consuming meat depended on Palestinian peasants and regional Arab breeders. Jewish actors (importers, butchers, religious authorities, urban officials) tried to gain more ground in the country's meat trade. In the 1930s, Jewish cattle dealers began to import cattle from Europe, relying on their old...Read More |
At the end of President Biden's visit to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem, they both issued statements.
And Abbas' statement included explicit Jew-hatred.
According to the official Palestinian Wafa news agency: President Abbas stressed that East Jerusalem, occupied since 1967, is the capital of the State of Palestine, stressing the need to stop the extremist groups' incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and to preserve the historical situation in the Christian and Islamic holy sites in East Jerusalem, in accordance with the Hashemite guardianship over them. He told the American president that the holiest site in Judaism should be Judenfrei. Slightly less explicitly but no less clearly, Abbas also insisted that all of the Old City be empty of Jews as well. When he refers to the "historical situation" of the holy sites in Jerusalem under Hashemite rule he means the situation between 1949 and 1967, when Jordan controlled the Old City - and not one Jew was allowed to visit. Not Israelis, but Jews. Jordan banned Jews from any country to visit the Old City as well as the rest of Judea and Samaria. Mahmoud Abbas publicly told the US President that the holiest city in Judaism should be off limits to Jews. This pure antisemitism will be roundly ignored in the international media. Because the...Read More |
