| Jordanian Islamist party warns against Jordanians working in Eilatnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 26 Jul 04:45 AM The Islamic Action Front, the Jorda | |  |
The Islamic Action Front, the Jordanian political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, has warned of the "danger" of allowing hundreds of Jordanian youth to work in Eilat.
They said that this normalization somehow poses a threat to Jordanian national security.
The issued a statement that "rejects the attempts of the Zionist entity to infiltrate Jordanian society and pass the normalization approach by exploiting the youth's need for work and money."
As far as I can tell, the IAF is worried that Jordanians working in Israel will see Jews as something other than monsters. They warn about "the security risks of Jordanian youth working with the occupation and trying to influence them to serve its goals."
The poor, misguided youth of Jordan apparently can be easily influenced to become more Zionist by merely working for and getting paid by Jews under good working conditions and higher salaries than they can get in Jordan.
The statement ended affirming that "the Zionist entity will remain the nation's number one enemy." * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon! Or order from your favorite bookseller, using ISBN 9798985708424. Read all about it here! ...Read More |
From Ian: Barbara Kay: The once mighty Amnesty International has sunk to irrelevancy I can't remember the exact date, now decades ago, that I cancelled my monthly donation to AI Canada, only that it was due to AI's rabid obsession with Israel, and its continual harping on the fallacious trope of Israel as an "apartheid" state. AI's "researchers" on the Israel file have a record of anti-Israel activism and make no effort to hide it. For years, the "halo" effect of its past integrity protected AI from being criticized about its extreme bias on this front, but none of the charity's disproportionate focus on Israel went unnoticed by NGO Monitor. In a 2015 monograph, NGO Monitor detailed Amnesty's "financial mismanagement; repeated examples of 'lawfare'; systematic flaws in the reporting of human rights abuses; limited understanding of armed conflict leading to erroneous claims and incorrect analysis; and violation of the universality of human rights, including a consistent institutionalized bias against Israel through double-standards." Suffice to say that many of Richard Gladstone's allegations against Israel in his own infamous report on the 2014 Hamas-Israel conflict — which he later publicly repudiated — were "based upon false claims proffered by Amnesty." There is no law that human rights organizations must exist in perpetuity. AI has done great work...Read More |
From MEMRI: In a July 15, 2022 episode of "Pioneers of Tomorrow," a children's show aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV in Gaza, a man dressed in a puppet costume spoke about Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque with children. A little girl said that the Jews must not be allowed to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque. A young boy also said that if the Muslims adhere to shari'a law, Palestine will surely be liberated. The man said that the Muslims must also wage Jihad, and the boy responded that Jihad for the sake of Allah is the "pinnacle of Islam". In addition, the man said that the "criminal Jews" have a plot, explaining: "They are digging tunnels under the Al-Aqsa Mosque in order to... I forgot, what do they want to build?... They want to replace the Dome of the Rock with the Tem... the Tem... What is it called?" In response, the boy said that the Jews want to build the "false Solomon's Temple", but that this will never happen as long as the Palestinians defend Jerusalem. The boy then declared that the Palestinians will fight to their last drop of blood, and the man agreed and praised the martyrs, the wounded, the prisoners, and the exiles who have sacrificed for the defense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Is it a human rights issue to teach children not only historical lies and to hate Jews, but also to sacrifice themselves for this cause? I'm only asking because I never...Read More |

There are three crossings between Israel and Jordan.
The main one is the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby Bridge) over the Jordan, in the central part of the country. The southern one is the Wadi Araba crossing where Jordanian workers can cross to work in Eilat.
The northernmost one is the Sheikh Hussein Bridge, near Beit She'an, from (Green Line) Israel directly into Jordan.
As such, Jerusalem Arabs - who are allowed to travel throughout Israel even if they are not citizens - should be allowed to travel through Israel to enter Jordan and return through that bridge, and avoid the huge delays and expenses at the King Hussein bridge. (Expediting travel from Jordan to Israel could cost some $650 for a family of five.)
Israel has said that they can use any route to Jordan.
But Jordan is not allowing them to.
Representatives of Jerusalem Arabs wrote a formal letter to the Jordanian government asking why this is, since in the past they were able to use that crossing.
I don't know why Jordan is not allowing this. It might have something to do...Read More |
From Ian: How the Abraham Accords are helping the Middle East come to terms with Israel's existence Most of the Middle East (Iran and its proxies and partners notwithstanding) now seeks some new paradigm, something pragmatic that will meet the demands of the people. Happily for Israel, its demography, geography and entrepreneurial economy are all suited to regional rapprochement. Both Israel and its regional partners would do well to emphasize through its diverse citizenry that it's not some colonial aberration but very much of the region — culturally, religiously and socially. Arab leaders were willing to deal with Israel in part due to frustration with the Palestinian rejection of successive opportunities for peace deals. And while Palestinian leaders in the West Bank today call the Abraham Accords "a knife in the back," the accords may offer job-hungry Palestinians the opportunities that their political leaders deny them. It is Palestinian leaders, not the people, who benefit from the status quo. Arab states may play a role in this development: through direct investment, the creation of special economic zones in the West Bank or even pressure on the Palestinian Authority to revoke regulations that forbid Palestinians to work for Israeli settlers (as tens of thousands currently do). International diplomatic pressure can...Read More |
Haaretz reports: Researchers, led by Prof. David Weisburd, a Hebrew University of Jerusalem criminologist, conducted an intensive course for police officers in three cities in the United States (Houston, Tucson, and Cambridge, Massachusetts) based on a model known as "procedural justice." Addressing the encounter between police and the citizenry, this concept focuses on making the interaction between them fair and dignified: Has the citizen been given the opportunity to voice his or her side, do the police show respect and project neutrality?... At the conclusion of the course, the officers were assigned to high-crime areas and their work was monitored for nine months. The results exceeded all expectations. After documenting hundreds of hours in the field, the research team concluded that the officers showed a clear tendency to listen more attentively to the people they interacted with and to treat them respectfully. Weisburd, a recipient of the Israel Prize for his research in crime and policing (in particular, he is identified with the idea of having police focus their patrolling efforts on "hot spots," often specific streets, where crime is especially rampant), is visibly moved by the results. "We changed the officers' behavior," he says. "There are hardly any studies that look...Read More |
The Israel Lobby is in the news again, as left-wing media has become obsessed with AIPAC's spending to promote pro-Israel candidates for Congress.
Rep. Andy Levin is a scion of a powerhouse Michigan political family. His father Sander was a member of Congress for 36 years and was twice the Democratic candidate for governor of Michigan. His uncle Carl Levin was a powerful senator for Michigan for 36 years as well.
He is one powerful Jew.
Yet he is portraying himself as a victim of the evil, all powerful, Israel lobby, whining on MSNBC that "AIPAC can't stand the idea that I am the strongest Jewish voice in Congress standing for... human rights for the Palestinian people." He's saying this behind a graphic warning about "DC's Dark Money." Left unsaid, of course, is that Levin introduced a bill to consider the Jewish Quarter, the Western Wall and all the Jewish holy spots in Jerusalem as "occupied Palestinian territory." The bill has no other sponsors and has garnered zero support from his fellow members of Congress, proving that Levin's ideas are an outlier and his ideas are extreme. AIPAC isn't opposing him because he is pro-Palestinian - they are opposing him because he wants to rip Jerusalem away from the Jewish state, something no "pro-Israel" politician would ever demand.
AIPAC's new PAC is indeed spending millions...Read More |
