Here is the word chart showing the relative number of hate crimes for April, May and June: When it comes to only counting more serious felonies, not misdemeanors, the dominance of anti-Jewish hate crimes is even starker: For the first half of the year (until June 28,) 150 of 338 hate crimes in New York City were against Jews - over 44%.But when it comes to felonies, about 57% of them were against Jews.

From Ian: Israel as a Precious Gift to Shabby Regimes and Conditions The fact is that terms like traitor, spy, and collaborator have long been outdated. They now indicate nothing but the existence of a project for crude domination and that this project is in crisis and has no choice but to say things it should not in the hope that this extends its lifespan. However, what Freud called sublimation is at play here. This concept, which was originally formulated by Fredrich Nietzsche, denotes a process through which socially unacceptable desires and instincts are redirected to ends that are not only socially acceptable, but also noble ends glorified by society. Creative works, for example, replace taboo cravings, and impeccable moral behavior that invokes veneration replace belligerent desires. In our case, the crude instinct to hold on to power turns into a conflict with Israel or striving to liberate Palestine. The instinct is condemned, no one defends it, and not even those acting on it dare to speak about it openly; as for the conflict, a broad segment of society sees it as a glorious endeavor. However, the major difference is that with the authoritarians, the desire merely hides, while the noble end is a pure lie that brings neither innovation nor moral excellence. "Israel's conspiracies" alone can justify "filling our squares with the corpses of...Read More |
Interview with Isser Coopersmith Yamit was the first expulsion of Jews by Jews in the Jewish State. That is what a lot of people forget when they point to Gush Katif and say that at least now we have proof that the land for peace formula doesn't work. Gush Katif, it is true, was a massive, outsized event, with 8,600 Jews expelled from their homes, while "only" 2,500 Jews had been forced from their homes in Yamit, 23 years earlier. Expulsion in either case proved traumatic, resulting in spiraling statistics for suicide, divorce, and bankruptcy. Isser Coopersmith Just as right wing Israelis flocked to Gush Katif to strengthen the people in the run-up to Disengagement, so too, they came to Yamit in 1982, ready to fight. One of those who rushed to join the 2,500 Israeli Jews of Yamit was Isser Coopersmith, an American immigrant to Israel who had settled in Shilo. He was ready to do anything to help prevent the evacuation. Coopersmith was 25, and no stranger to showing his loyalty to the Jewish State. After making Aliyah in 1979, Isser helped to build a settlement and a kibbutz, then joined the IDF in 1980, serving in a combat unit. After the evacuation of Yamit, Coopersmith went on to serve in the reserves during the...Read More |
There's a very interesting op-ed by Peter Pomerantsev in the New York Times that says how the West should understand Vladimir Putin: To humiliate people is to exploit your power over them, making them feel worthless and dependent on you. It is clear, then, that the Russian military seems intent on humiliating Ukrainians, taking away their right to independence and their right to make their own decisions. ... Kremlin propaganda claims Russia revels in isolationism, but it is also addicted to seeking approval from abroad. And Mr. Putin's success as president of Russia has rested for some time on his ability to mete out daily humiliations to Russians and then act as if he feels their rage as they do, as if he alone knows where to direct it — toward the West, toward Ukraine, anywhere except toward the Kremlin. Mr. Putin likes to perform both sides of the humiliation drama: from the seething resentment of the put-upon Russian everyman to cosplaying Peter the Great. This allows him to appeal to Russians' deep-seated sense of humiliation, which the Kremlin itself inflicts on people, and then compensate for it. It's a performance that taps into the cycle of humiliation and aggression that defines the experience of life in Russia, and now Ukraine is the stage. This is similar (although not identical) to how the Arab world had traditionally looked upon Israel, and how the Palestinians still do. The...Read More |
From Ian: Biden rewrites Israel's history "Both the Israelis and the Palestinian people have deep and ancient roots in this land," President Joe Biden declared at his July 14 press conference in Jerusalem. The first subject of the president's sentence is obviously true. The second, however, is utterly false. The Palestinian Arabs do not have "deep" or "ancient" roots in the Holy Land. Their roots are shallow, recent, and for the most part artificial. There were less than 300,000 Arabs living there in the 1880s, and they did not call themselves "Palestinians." They defined themselves as "southern Syrians," or as members of particular clans. As Jewish pioneers began developing the land in the decades to follow, illegal Arab immigrants flocked to the area from neighboring Arab countries, attracted by the prospect of jobs and higher living standards. The British authorities turned a blind eye to this mass Arab influx. The British occupied the country colloquially known as "Palestine" during World War I. In 1922, they decided to partition the country. The Arabs were given the 78% on the eastern side of the Jordan River. It was called "Transjordan," then later "Jordan." The Arab residents weren't magically transformed from "Palestinians" to "Transjordanians" to "Jordanians." The arbitrary slapping of a name on a region did not change their identity. It was only in the 1960s under the guidance of the Soviet Union that...Read More |
On Monday, hundreds of Palestinian lawyers protested Mahmoud Abbas' sweeping powers:
Hundreds of Palestinian lawyers held a rare street protest Monday against what they described as the Palestinian Authority's "rule by decree", condemning president Mahmud Abbas for governing without a parliament. The Palestinian Legislative Council -- created under the Oslo Peace Accords with Israel -- has been inactive since 2007, meaning Abbas has led without a functioning parliament for nearly all of his tenure as president. But a new leadership at the Palestinian Bar Association has sought to pressure the PA. The draft Palestinian constitution allows for presidential decrees "if necessary", in cases where the PLC cannot act, but lawyers said Abbas has gone too far. According to estimates by Palestinian legal experts, Abbas has issued some 400 presidential decrees while in office. He officially dissolved the PLC in 2018. The article doesn't come close to describing Abbas' control of all the branches of the Palestinian government. In order to "legally" dissolve the PLC, he needed the Palestinian Constitutional Court to make that decision. And guess who appointed every member of that group in 2016? Yes, it was Abbas himself. So Mahmoud Abbas controls, either...Read More |
A referendum on a new constitution for Tunisia was said to have easily passed, and this has now officially ended the hopes of the Arab Spring, as it has demolished all democratic reforms and has given its president sweeping, dictatorial powers.
It also calls for the destruction of Israel.
In the preamble, it says: We, the Tunisian people, reaffirm our belonging to the Arab nation and our keenness to adhere to the human dimensions of the Islamic religion. ...We adhere to international legitimacy and support the legitimate rights of peoples who, according to this legitimacy, have the right to decide their own destiny, the first of which is the right of the Palestinian people to their stolen land and the establishment of their state on it after its liberation, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.This isn't referring to "occupied territories," rather it is saying that Tunisia supports Palestinian claims to all of Israel, which they consider "stolen land."
I am not aware of any other constitution that urges the destruction of another nation.
However, Palestinians and their supporters are disappointed - because...Read More |
