| Alleged "Kurdish Jewish leader" converts to Islam - but it sounds like a scamnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 21 Sep 04:45 AM Arabic media is reportin | | Arabic media is reporting: Aram Ezzat, Chairman of the Council of the Jewish Religion in the Kurdistan Region, announced his joining the Islamic religion and pronounced the two testimonies in front of the journalists' lens, stressing that his step is embodied in "striving to obtain God's pleasure and the love of the Noble Messenger." Ezzat said in a press statement that he informed his Jewish colleagues and friends of his decision and that he handed over the sect's representation to his colleagues to decide to choose his successor after 6 years of holding the position. He added, "I have other personal reasons, but I have not been subjected to any threat or pressure, and I am not the type who succumbs to threats and everyone knows me." This story seems bogus. I cannot find any mention either of Aram Ezzat or of the "Council of the Jewish Religion" in Kurdistan. The main self-described leader of the Jewish community in Kurdistan is supposedly Sherko Abdallah, according to an AFP article on Jews of Kurdistan from 2020. He was appointed...Read More |
From Ian: '80 years after Holocaust, there is a price for Jewish blood' - Shurat Hadin head "80 years after the Holocaust, there is a price for Jewish blood," Shurat Hadin director Nitsana Darshan-Leitner said Monday at the Jerusalem Post Conference in New York. To exact a price from terrorists, "the private sector [needs] to take part in this war," she said, rejecting the idea that fighting terrorism is solely the job of the government and the defense establishment. "The only way to fight terrorism is everyone together – me, you, everyone." Speaking on "The Price of Terror" panel along with Stuart Force, father of American terrorism victim Taylor Force, Darshan-Leitner said if you see "a lawless regime, terrorism is on the rise." "Shurat Hadin was established to choke off the pipeline of the money of terrorism to make sure no one is killing Jews" and doesn't pay a price, she said. "Private people built the State of Israel; private people keep it safe," she added. Force talked about how he became involved in the campaign against the Palestinians' "pay for slay" policy, in which the Palestinian Authority pays money to terrorists who have killed Israelis. "There was a program in place – 'pay for slay,'" he said. "I knew something had to be done." Force said when Darshan-Leitner approached him to file lawsuits, he immediately came onboard...Read More |

On October 6, 1943, a group of hundreds of Orthodox rabbis came to Washington DC to plead for the lives of their brethren in Europe.
They presented a letter to Vice President Wallace asking for a government agency to help save the remaining Jews from the Holocaust. The letter demanded that the US open its doors to Jewish refugees, that the UN create a passport that could be used for Jews to travel, and for Britain to "open the doors of Palestine."
Some of the details about this trip are outrageous.
Historian Alex Grobman writes: Dressed in long, dark rabbinic attire, the rabbis walked from Union Station to the Capitol Building. There, Rabbis Eliezer Silver, Israel Rosenberg and Bernhard Louis Levinthal led a recitation of Psalms. Peter Bergson (Hillel Kook), who was head of the Emergency Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe, introduced them to Vice President Henry Wallace and a number of Congressmen. Bergson enlisted the rabbis and the American Jewish Legion of Veterans for the march. He expected American clergy would join, but none did. Only the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the U.S. and Canada, the Union of Hassidic Rabbis and a commander of the Jewish Legion participated. The modern Orthodox Rabbinical Council of America sent Rabbi David Silver, Rabbi Eliezer Silver's son. White House adviser Judge Samuel Rosenman told the president that those "behind this petition" were "not representative of the most...Read More |
From Ian: Ruthie Blum: Ebrahim Raisi's predictable 'CBS News' performance The brouhaha surrounding Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's comments about the Nazi genocide of the Jews, during an interview that aired on Sunday with CBS News's "60 Minutes," is puzzling. Anyone who expected the radical political figurehead of the mullah-ruled Islamic Republic to acknowledge, let alone denounce, the acts of the Third Reich – when his regime makes no bones about wanting to finish the job that Adolf Hitler started – is living in an alternate universe. Nevertheless, the short exchange he had on the topic with correspondent Lesley Stahl made international headlines and was circulated widely on social media. When asked by Stahl whether he "believe[d] the Holocaust happened – that 6 million Jews were slaughtered," Raisi replied, "Look, historical events should be investigated by researchers and historians. There are some signs that it happened. If so, they should allow it to be investigated and researched." The only thing noteworthy about this was his willingness to point to "some signs that it happened." It was almost amusing of him to suggest that it be "investigated and researched." As though he had no idea that it's been studied for decades and verified by historians and survivors. And as if his role-model ayatollahs aren't keen to emulate the Holocaust, albeit Islamist-style: first...Read More |
I have always been interested in finding any evidence that Muslims venerated Jerusalem before Zionism. Jews, of course, have written hundreds of poems in the forms of psalms, piyyutim, zemirot and classic poetry continuously since the time of David.
Up until now, I have never seen a single Muslim poem about the holy city that predates Zionism (or 1967, for that matter.) Every article I had seen on poems about Jerusalem and Palestine have been about recent poetry.
At Raya.com, Dr. Ayman Al-Atoum wrote a series of three articles on "Jerusalem in Arabic poetry" where he says, "Jerusalem was the hearth of poets' hearts, the compass of their love, the beacon of their words, and the melting of their hearts."
In part one, he quotes from poems about Baghdad and Damascus, to show that Arabs have shown great affection for their capitals, so of course - he says - Jerusalem would be one of them. He provides a quick Arab history of Jerusalem. But he doesn't quote any of the poems he refers to.

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas is in New York to give his annual anti-Israel speech filled with lies to the UN. This comes on the heels of his Fatah party bragging about its terror wing attacking Israel in recent weeks. It has been only a month since Abbas said that Israel has inflicted 50 "holocausts" on Palestinians, only the latest of his many explicitly antisemitic statements he has made publicly. Abbas' Wafa news agency has hundreds of articles trying to make Abbas look like a statesman, reporting breathlessly on his sending letters of congratulations to various world leaders on their national days and every meeting he has in Ramallah with even minor officials from countries or NGOs. For the New York visit, Wafa has a bonanza of photo ops trying to make Abbas look important showing him meeting with major officials. One of the featured photos is with Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, smiling while putting his arm around Holocaust denier Abbas. Compare with with Abbas' publicity...Read More |
