The Boston Globe, 10 Dec 1963 BDS, 1975. Clarion-Ledger, Jackson, Mississippi (AP), 13 Feb 1975 And even as late as 1986, it was obvious that the Arab boycott was against Jewish goods and services - not "Zionist." The Daily Telegraph, London 31 Jan 1986, All of these articles are clear that the boycotts were against Jews, not "Zionists" or "Israelis." And it became even more obvious after 1948, when Arab nations asked potential partners whether they had any Jewish officials before doing business with them. BDS today claims not to be antisemitic, but as these news clips show, it is a direct extension of the older boycotts. And BDS today does not boycott Arab Israeli businesses...Read More No one is asking why Jenin is a no-go zone for Palestinian police noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Jul 02:31 PM During the entire Shireen Abu Akleh snow job by the media, there was one larger question that has barely been asked: Where are the Palestinian police? We see lots of videos of terrorists in full military gear and with assault weapons walking the streets of Jenin. But Jenin is in Area A, which is supposed to be under full Palestinian security control. No one is supposed to be brandishing weapons outside the Palestinian police, under signed agreements with Israel. (And those signed agreements are international law.) Israeli security forces only go into Jenin because the Palestinian Authority security forces aren't doing their basic jobs. Back in December, this was already becoming apparent: Asked if the PA was losing control of the situation in Jenin, the officer, a resident of Burqin village, replied, "That's true; they are losing control not only here in Jenin, but in all of the West Bank." And in April: The [Jenin] camp now, however, is virtually off limits to PA forces, who neglected to police it in the years following the end of the Second Intifada. The vacuum that was left was filled by young, impoverished and unemployed youth, who joined armed gangs, initially to commit crimes, including the smuggling of arms and drug trafficking. The West has paid millions to bolster the Palestinian security forces since...Read More 07/17 Links: Saudi Arabia and Israel: Clouds on the new horizon; David Collier: The BBC – Bowen, his lies, and the spread of antisemitism; Tehran: 'Capable of Building Nuclear Bomb' noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 17 Jul 12:00 PM From Ian: Saudi Arabia and Israel: Clouds on the new horizon During Biden's visit, the Saudis repeated that mantra in demanding the two-state solution be implemented before normalizing relations with Israel. I would respectfully suggest that our two countries look over the horizon using wisdom that may appear uncommon, but which I believe stands to better serve us both. Although I do see a potentially bright future with my Palestinian Arab neighbors once they truly reject terror and cease their demonization of Jews, I do not think it wise to condition regional peace agreements on their choices. Most Saudis know that the Palestinian Arabs have never been friends of the Kingdom or her citizens. -When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, with his appetite set on the Saudi peninsula as a second course, frenzied Palestinian crowds cheered his bombing of Riyadh and lionized him as their champion against the pro-American Saudis. -While a nuclear-minded Iran foments regional and global terror, seeks to destabilize the Saudi Kingdom via its proxy war in Yemen, and insults, threatens, and attacks the Saudi people at every opportunity, the Palestinian Arabs still side with the Ayatollahs. Both Hamas and the PLO share fealty to Iran and are strongly supported by a local Palestinian Arab populace which demonstrates little care for the welfare of the Arab states that support them. Given these realities, why do the Saudi people continue...Read More Chart shows how screwed up Human Rights Watch priorities are noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Jul 10:00 AM The Human Rights Watch 2021 World Report describes the human rights situation, as they see it, in every country. The number of pages allocated to each country is a rough approximation of which countries HRW considers their top priorities. And the country with the most pages, by far, is....The United States. This chart shows a very bizarre idea of where the top human rights problems worldwide are: Western democracies are rated often worse than states with the most serious human rights issues. Here's the entire list so you can see for yourself how twisted HRW's priorities are. COUNTRIES Pages United States 18 China 14 Russia 13 Brazil 12 European Union 12 India 12 Colombia 11 Mexico 11 Syria 11 Venezuela 11 Egypt 10 Israel/Palestine 10 Myanmar 10 Afghanistan 9 Argentina 9 Australia 9 Iran 9 Peru 9 Bangladesh 8 Belarus 8 Bolivia 8 Canada 8 Cuba 8 Ecuador 8 El Salvador 8 France 8 Guinea 8 Haiti 8 Honduras 8 Iraq 8 Japan 8 Kyrgyzstan 8 Libya 8 Nigeria 8 Pakistan 8 Thailand 8 Turkey 8 United Kingdom 8 Yemen 8 Armenia 7 Azerbaijan 7 Chile 7 Germany 7 Greece 7 Guatemala 7 Indonesia 7 Kazakhstan 7 Lebanon 7 Maldives 7 Morocco 7 Nepal 7 Nicaragua 7 North Korea 7 Saudi Arabia 7 Somalia 7 South Sudan 7 Spain 7 Sudan 7 Turkmenistan 7 Ukraine 7 Uzbekistan 7 Algeria 6 Bahrain 6 Burkina Faso 6 Burundi...Read More The New York Times is obsessed with demonizing AIPAC noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Jul 07:20 AM Last week, the New York Times wrote yet another article about how influential and powerful pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC is. Notice that the headline doesn't say that AIPAC supports pro-Israel candidates - but tries to defeat candidates that don't pass their litmus test. This emphasis supports the idea of the group being a menace to good, honorable candidates who think for themselves. To say that the New York Times is obsessed with AIPAC is an understatement. Earlier this year we saw: Anti-AIPAC sentiment also was obvious throughout its fawning article this year on Rashida Tlaib, and the pro-Israel lobby was the subject of another article about local New York elections. The underlying but largely unspoken theme is how the Israel lobby is the Jewish lobby, as was made explicit in this 2019 article about Ilhan Omar's antisemitic statement that concentrated on whether she was correct, asking whether AIPAC was "too powerful," that featured this photo of an AIPAC activist praying: According to...Read More    ©2022 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
