| Fatah music video incites Palestinians to "shake and burn" religious Jewsnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 11 Sep 04:45 AM On August 30, five religious | | On August 30, five religious Jews stupids tries to visit Joseph's tomb without coordinating their visit with the Israeli army.
The result was predictable: they were almost lynched, two of them including a child were shot, their car was burned.
They were not armed and couldn't defend themselves.
Right after the incident, Fatah's Al Aqsa Brigades took responsibility for the shootings and burning their car.
What was unusual was that Fatah itself took credit. Instead of pretending that the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade are a separate and unofficial offshoot of the party headed by Mahmoud Abbas, their violence was celebrated as a Fatah victory on the official Fatah Facebook page - to attack five civilians whose only "crime" was being Jewish.
Palestinian Media Watch translated their music video and poster: In the video gunshots are heard, apparently from the shooting attack targeting Jews visiting Joseph's Tomb, and a car is seen going up in flames, while a song is played in the background. Lyrics: "Shake them and burn them, O knights of the night." Text on screen: "The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, Fatah's military wing, target a car of settlers. As a result, 5 Zionists were wounded (sic.)."

From Ian: Australian Lawmakers Call For Holocaust Education An Australian parliamentarian has proposed a motion to require students throughout the commonwealth to be educated about the Holocaust. Labor Party MP Josh Burns proposed the measure on September 5. According to The Australian Jewish News, it was co-sponsored by MPs from several parties. The motion denounces antisemitism, including Holocaust denial and equating covid restrictions with anti-Jewish legislation in Nazi Germany, and implores "all states and territories to follow the lead of Victoria and New South Wales and make Holocaust education a mandatory aspect of their school curriculum." Holocaust education became mandatory in Victoria in 2020 after the state's education minister James Merlino set out to address bigotry in its schools. During a speech on the motion, its co-sponsor Labor MP Mark Dreyfus noted that the Holocaust "is only recent history." "I acknowledge that there are other members in this place, on both sides of the chamber, who, like me, owe their lives to the fact that one or more of their family members managed to escape the Nazis and find refuge in Australia," he said.Mark Regev: Flying from Israel to Australia: The geopolitics of visiting familyAbraham Accords opens Arab skies to Israeli flights

From Ian: Dr. Miriam Adelson: Our differences make us adaptable and strong Two Hebrew words come to mind when a native Israeli like me gazes around at the charming Swiss town of Basel where Theodor Herzl established the Jewish state. Those words are: "Ma HaKesher??" What's the connection? What links these things – that seem so unrelated and uncanny? Why did Herzl have to come to Basel, of all places, so that we, the Jewish people, could return to Zion? What do these elegant cafés and churches have to do with the souks and synagogues of the Middle East? The cool River Rhine with the blazing Mediterranean coast? And if you think the contrast is stark today, when Israel is booming and blooming – just imagine how things seemed 125 years ago, when it was a sleepy desert corner of the Ottoman empire. But the contrast is the point. Herzl worked a miracle in this town. And miracles are all about contrast – because they defy and transform reality. Herzl himself was a study in contrasts: A secular Jew doubling as a bearded prophet. A playwright, taking center-stage in an epic drama without a script. A statesman for a state not yet created. A troubled soul with rock–solid commitment to the cause. A visionary and a pragmatist. That kaleidoscope of traits helped Herzl win over world leaders – as well as the Jewish philanthropists and chief rabbis who resisted his Zionist designs. And it is...Read More |
Every weekday from Sunday through Thursday, Arab media has articles that sound roughly the same: "This morning, groups of settlers stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem. Dozens of settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, toured it and performed Talmudic rituals, under heavy guard from the Israeli occupation police."
I imagine it gets boring after a while, trying to incite violence against Jews when all they do is quietly walk around and, sometimes, silently pray.
Now some Palestinian media are upping the ante, and referring to the Jews visiting the holy spot as "terrorist settlers."
It's rhetoric inflation!
The earliest I can find the phrase "terrorist settlers" referring to Jews visiting the Temple Mount is from Al Shabab Radio, last year. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

From Ian: David Singer: Lapid - no guts, no vision on the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine It beggars belief that not 1 of the 120 members of Israel's current Parliament has uttered one word that I can find anywhere supporting or rejecting the Saudi Plan. The Saudi Plan's author – Ali Shihabi – a confidant of Saudi Arabia's next King - Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman – expressed his own feelings to me at this veil of silence that had descended over every one of Israel's politicians: "Israel is the key factor. It holds most of the cards and its military, economic and political success since 1948 has made its leaders arrogant and contemptuous of the Arabs generally since the Israelis have imposed their terms on the region despite all Arab efforts and noise made in decades past. This arrogance is clouding Israeli judgement and blinding them to the opportunity that presents itself today for them to drive a sustainable peace process. "They can get a lot of what they want but have to give a bit to get a sustainable solution that will integrate them into the region permanently, but this will require an Israeli De Gaulle with guts and vision, and I don't see one on the horizon unfortunately" Confident I could meet Shihabi's challenge – I asked Lapid, Defence Minister Gantz and Opposition Leader Netanyahu the following questions:
-When he first became aware of the Saudi plan?
-Has he commented on the Saudi plan since its...Read More |
In recent years, there have been a number of antisemitic incidents at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The most recent one was this week, where messages of hate towards Jewish student groups were chalked on campus sidewalks.
Here is the entire statement from the very same two people this week (emphasis mine): It was a wonderful first day of classes on Wednesday in so many ways, from the sunshine to the great energy on Library Mall and Bascom Hill. We love seeing our students back on campus. However, we were disappointed that this was marred by multiple sidewalk chalkings appearing around campus, targeting several Jewish student groups labeling them as "racist," "genocidal," and "having blood on their hands." These labels are antisemitic: they attribute broad actions or beliefs to Jewish student groups. OK, now that we have established that they are antisemitic, what should be done? Nothing. To those Jewish students and others affected, we are sorry for the impact this had on your first day of class at UW. We truly strive to create a campus where every student feels they belong, and this kind of messaging harms that goal and aspiration. Our job as leaders is not to respond every time a controversial or offensive incident happens on our campus. However, these chalkings provide us a timely opportunity...Read More |
Abdullah Al-Ashaal is a former Egyptian presidential candidate and former assistant to the Egyptian Foreign Minister. He calls himself an "ambassador" although I am not sure if he ever held such a position.
His anti-Zionist credentials are impeccable - he argues, today, that Egypt should abrogate the 1977 peace treaty with Israel.
It is no surprise that he is also a raging antisemite, the type of antisemite that the media and the Left doesn't want to acknowledge because it comes from Arabs.
In Rai Al Youm, he starts off an article with a list of "facts" that is as good a summary of mainstream Arab antisemitic beliefs as any I've seen: 1. Israel was built on myths and lies, and its relationship with Palestine is based on falsifying history and the Torah. Therefore, supporting Israel became a biblical duty for them. 2. The Jews control minds by monopolizing news sources and the media, as the Zionist project tamed the Arab media so as not to reveal the facts, benefiting from the fact that the Arab media is the media of the Arab regimes and governments, and when the Arab countries are divided over Israel, the Arab media is divided, as is electronic media...Read More |
