The methodology of the study that determines that both Republicans and Democrats are roughly equally susceptible to conspiracy theories is a little suspect - a lot depends on which theories the authors decide to test. But two of the questions that they evaluated were specifically Jewish conspiracy theories, and their results show that the self-described Left and Right are equally likely to believe them. The two questions that are explicitly Jewish conspiracy theories are: The official account of the Nazi Holocaust is a lie and the number of Jews killed by the Nazis during World War II has been exaggerated on purpose. A powerful family, the Rothschilds, through their wealth, controls governments, wars, and many countries' economies. A slightly larger percentage of Republicans (it looks like 1%) believed these conspiracy theories compared to Democrats. And, if anything, partisanship seems to make one more likely to believe antisemitic conspiracy theories. A significantly lower number of independents believed either of these theories. The numbers themselves are alarming. These polls indicate that about 18% of Democrats and Republicans...Read More HRW's Ken Roth wants to minimize Iran's culpability in Argentina bombings noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 24 Jul 02:30 PM Ronen Bergman reports in the New York Times: Two terrorist attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets in Buenos Aires in the 1990s that killed scores of people were carried out by a secret Hezbollah unit whose operatives, contrary to widespread claims, were not abetted knowingly by Argentine citizens or aided by Iran on the ground, according to an investigation by the Mossad, Israel's secret service. The internal Mossad study, the written findings of which were shared with The New York Times, provide a detailed account of how the attacks were planned — including how material for the explosives was smuggled into Argentina in shampoo bottles and chocolate boxes. While Mossad stresses that Israeli intelligence still believes that Iran, a supporter of Hezbollah, approved and funded the attacks and supplied training and equipment, the findings counter longstanding assertions by Israel, Argentina and the United States that Tehran had an operational role on the ground. They also countered suspicions in Argentina that local officials and citizens there had been complicit. In the first attack, which killed 29 people in 1992, the Israeli Embassy was blown up. The second, in 1994, targeted the headquarters of a Jewish community center, killing 86 people, including the bomber, in one of the deadliest anti-Semitic crimes since World War II. Now, what should...Read More 07/24 Links: David Collier: Anne Frank wouldn't Trust this; Are the Palestinians going to take the League of Nations or the UN to court?; Ben Shapiro visits Temple Mount with his father noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 24 Jul 12:00 PM From Ian: David Collier: Anne Frank wouldn't Trust this The Anne Frank Trust UK's Dejudaisation We all know what this is about. Perhaps it is best stated in a retweet by Amjid Khazir (one of the speakers mentioned above) of hard-core hater CJ Werleman, when he wrote "Muslims are the new Jews" This is all about theft – appropriation. The Holocaust and Anne Frank are stripped of everything particularly Jewish. On the 'explore Anne Frank's Diary' page on the website of the Anne Frank Trust UK, the word 'Jewish' does not even appear. Yet everything that happened to her – her entire experience – happened because she was Jewish. Someone looking at the site would actually need to download the 'learn more about this' link – to learn that her Jewishness had anything to do with her story at all. Inexcusable. Horrific. Deliberate. The universalisation and dejudaisation of Anne Frank. Instead of the Jews – who in this woke, racist bubble are considered white, wealthy, and privileged – the Islamists slide right in. This has to be about them. The Anne Frank Trust cannot see beyond the hijab to the problematic ideologies that may be running within. Simple fact. There are 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. They have majority rule in about 50 countries. There are dozens of nations where Islamic rule has all but suffocated out all minority groups. Without downplaying real bigotry that they certainly can face – their experience can be nothing...Read More Abbas claimed to have dismantled the Al Aqsa Brigades in 2007. They're still here, and no one asks why. noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 24 Jul 10:00 AM Early this morning, the IDF held an operation in Nablus reportedly to capture an Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade leader, and two terrorists were killed. A statement were released by the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades mourning the two. The Palestinian Authority issued statements of condemnation. But in 2008, Mahmoud Abbas claimed to have completely dismantled the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which is under the umbrella of the Fatah party he leads. No one seems to ask: why do the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades still exist 15 years later? This isn't like the Islamic Jihad-based fighters in Jenin. These are allies of the Fatah party that dominates the Palestinian Authority. While one can argue that the Palestinian security services are not powerful enough to secure Jenin (which is a separate problem) can they not control their own allies? Or, as seems more likely, are the Al Aqsa Brigades doing what the Palestinian Authority wants - a terror group that can be used whenever it is convenient for the PA and Fatah? If the Palestinian Authority was doing its job - under signed agreements - the IDF wouldn't need to go into Area A to arrest terrorists. So why isn't anyone asking why the Palestinian Authority is not doing its job? Why is no one in the West upset that the...Read More Is USAID trying to take Area C away from Israel? noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 24 Jul 07:00 AM USAID is the US government's humanitarian aid arm. It has worked with Palestinians on various projects. In 2020, Congress allocated $250 million over five years through the Nita M. Lowey Middle East Partnership for Peace Act (MEPPA) "to advance peaceful co-existence between Israelis and Palestinians to enable a sustainable two-state solution." Most of MEPPA funds are funneled through USAID: The funds allocated to USAID will be guided by a fifteen-member Advisory Board with twelve members appointed by Congress in addition to a chair and two international members appointed by the USAID Administrator. The Board is tasked "to consult with, provide information to, and advise USAID and other U.S. Government agencies" on the efficacy of programming and partnership options to ensure the advancement of the goals of the Partnership for Peace Fund. Members are selected from diverse backgrounds, and their collaboration is governed by the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). This Advisory Board held its first meeting in April, and it appears that it is interested in building institutions for Palestinians where they can supposedly work together with Israelis. But they intend to build these institutions in Area C, which is under Israeli control, even though some 95% of Palestinians live in Areas A and B.
