The deal was signed by a leading figure from the Fatah party of President Mahmud Abbas and by the chief of Islamist movement Hamas, which rules Gaza. But Abbas himself, president of the Palestinian Authority since 2005, was not present. "We signed this agreement to get rid of the malignant cancer of division that has entered the Palestinian body," said the head of the Fatah delegation, Azzam al-Ahmed. "We are optimistic that it will be implemented and will not remain ink on paper." Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh said it was "a day of joy in Palestine and Algeria and for those who love the Palestinian cause, but a day of sadness for the Zionist entity (Israel)". I didn't even bother to discuss it, because we've seen this movie before. Fatah and Hamas have made these sorts of agreements before - in fact, most of them have been supposedly more comprehensive, with the promise of "unity" between the rival factions. After the...Read More The Jew in Caricature (1921 German book) noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 23 Oct 02:30 PM I found an interesting 1921 book in German called "The Jew in Caricature," that gives a history of how Jews were caricatured throughout the ages up until the book's publication. It appears to be a scholarly work, pointing out the antisemitic history of caricature. It discusses the phenomenon of Judensau - obscene sculptures and and drawings of Jews acting obscenely with pigs - at length. They can still be seen in cathedrals in Europe. The author goes on to the 19th century with a large number of caricatures of Jews in popular magazines and newspapers. Miss Goldstein, I've been looking for a woman for a long time for which, as my wife,I need not be jealous of. Why? Because jealousy is disruptive in business. and you Fraulein, would be just to my liking . . . They find examples from all over the world. Political flyer for antisemitic candidate Adophe Willette Towards the end of the book the antisemitic caricatures of Germany circa 1919 are indistinguishable from Nazi posters. It would be nice if someone would translate this book. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

Not a word about Palestinian rejectionism for decades. Not a word on Israeli steps that completely contradict the narrative that Israel is all about permanent occupation and annexation. Not a word about Israeli efforts to make Palestinian life better, despite Palestinian rejection and terrorism in the form of thousands of Palestinian workers making a decent living working in Israel every day. Not a word about the anti-democratic forces and corruption at work in Hamas or the Palestinian Authority, which have greatly contributed to the ills of the Palestinian people. Not a word about an educational system in the Palestinian community, which preaches and teaches hatred of Israel and Jews and the virtues of violence against the Jewish state. Most significantly, related to the two major themes of the report — that Israel is engaged in moving toward permanent control of the West Bank and its Palestinian population and toward de facto annexation — is the complete failure to mention numerous Israeli peace offers that would have transformed Palestinians lives, including through the creation of a Palestinian state. Israel's offer at Camp David, then later at Taba, in 2000, would have meant the withdrawal of Israeli from most of the...Read More "Islamic University of Tel Aviv" conspiracy theory grows noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 23 Oct 10:00 AM Last year I mentioned an Arab conspiracy theory that there is an "Islamic University of Tel Aviv" where Jews are taught to become secret Muslim preachers, where they infiltrate Muslim lands and corrupt the teachings of Islam. An Egyptian news site has exciting new information about this fictional university: Recently, publications about the Islamic University in Tel Aviv have spread on social media, and some have praised the validity of that information, and others have attacked that information, and it has become oscillating between truth and rumor. In this dialogue with Professor Dr. Said Askar, who specializes in Islamic studies in the hadith and its sciences at the Faculty of Fundamentals of Religion, Al-Azhar University, he revealed to us much about the validity of the existence of the Islamic University in Tel Aviv. Who joins Islamic University in Tel Aviv? Only the Jews join it and those who study it are the Da'esh [ISIS] who claim their knowledge of the Islamic religion. What is the purpose of this university? The aim of it is to know the Islamic religion and its history and to search for loopholes, the aim of which is to question Muslims in their religion. And to study the conditions of Muslims in a systematic way so that they can know the weaknesses and strengths. This is what we find in some Hebrew...Read More A small example of how academic Jewish studies has been taken over by anti-Zionist politics noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 23 Oct 07:00 AM Recently, Joshua Karlip wrote in Commentary about how Jewish studies in American academia have been taken over by a wokeism that marginalizes and denigrates Jews: In December 2020, I participated in a Zoom panel at the annual Association for Jewish Studies Conference that discussed the state of the field of Jewish historiography over the past two decades. One participant noted that the first two decades of the 21st century have witnessed a rise in studies of the history of anti-Jewish violence. In response, I offered what I considered an innocuous explanation. Over the past two decades, I suggested, Jews have experienced an alarming rise in violent attacks. Between 2000 and 2005, the second intifada targeted the Jewish civilian population of Israel, leaving nearly 1,000 dead. Here in America, we have witnessed synagogue shootings in Pittsburgh and Poway, as well as a steady stream of attacks, some deadly, on Jews who "look" like Jews—Orthodox men. This explanation did not sit well with a senior scholar in the audience. "What you said was exceedingly Jewishly focused," she lectured me. She then went on to "enlighten" me that those who attack Jews are not primarily targeting Jews. Rather, the true targets of their hatred are African Americans. These hatemongers simply are angry at American Jews for promoting African-American rights. She ended her disquisition with a challenge.
