| Fatah praises terror attack (and may be behind it.) What will it take for the EU and US to call Fatah a terror group?noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 1 | |
This morning, terrorist killed 3 Jews and injured others in Ariel.
The Palestinian Amad news site and others identify the terrorist as Muhammad Murad Sami Souf, 19. It says that he is a member of Fatah and his father was a leading Fatah figure who had been released from Israeli prison.
Fatah has not yet taken responsibility, but it has praised the attack.
This heroic and courageous operation is a natural response to the orgy of the occupation soldiers and settlers and their daily crimes against the Palestinian people, their land, and their Islamic and Christian sanctities.This heroic and qualitative attack confirms the continuation and escalation of the resistance act in the occupied West Bank, and that our Palestinian people are fully aware that resistance is the only way to protect the land and sanctities, and that it is capable of raising the cost of the occupation and defeating it.

From Ian: Braving bigotry and enemy fire, Jews served the Union valiantly during the Civil War Sgt. Leopold Karpeles had a dangerous job. Serving in the 57th Massachusetts Infantry's E Company during the American Civil War, he was a color bearer, which meant carrying a flag that identified his unit's position — a necessary role, but one that invariably drew attention from the enemy. In May 1864, his actions won him the Medal of Honor — a decoration created during the conflict. His citation credited him with encouraging fleeing men to reform ranks and drive back the Confederates during the Battle of the Wilderness in northern Virginia. Karpeles's story was one of the more prominent accounts of Jews in the US Army during the Civil War. A new book, "Jewish Soldiers in the Civil War: The Union Army," by Adam D. Mendelsohn, director of the Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Cape Town, explores the wider narrative around Jews serving in America's bloodiest conflict. Its release is scheduled for November 15, just a few days after Veterans Day. "Individual cases obviously gave life and color," Mendelsohn told The Times of Israel, including when it came to "their decision to enlist, their experience in the army — which was not an easy one, particularly for Jews." On the battlefield, there was deadly combat and fear, including the terror...Read More |

One of the UN General Assembly's committees is the Fourth Committee, which is the "Special Political and Decolonization Committee of the General Assembly."
It has a wide ranging and eclectic official agenda: it "considers a broad range of issues covering a cluster of five decolonization-related agenda items, the effects of atomic radiation, questions relating to information, a comprehensive review of the question of peacekeeping operations as well as a review of special political missions, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Israeli Practices and settlement activities affecting the rights of the Palestinian people and other Arabs of the occupied territories, and International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space."
Needless to say, it now ignores every single topic that isn't anti-Israel.
This month, it approved six draft resolutions. None of them were about outer space, or atomic radiation. All of them were about Israel.
"Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem" (document A/C.4/77/L.12/Rev.1)
"Assistance to Palestine refugees" (document A/C.4/77/L.10)

Oklahoma is starting to raise alarm bells for Jews. Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, who was re-elected last week, recently dedicated "every square inch" of the state to Jesus: "[With] the authority that I have as governor, and the spiritual authority and the physical authority that you give me, I claim Oklahoma for you." Stitt's new secretary of education, Ryan Walters, also wants to orient the school curriculum towards Jesus. Parts of what he says are good.... "Our kids need to know about the founding. They need to know this country was founded on Judeo-Christian values." "What we have to have is true history taught in schools. Our kids need to know about the founding. They need to know this country was founded on Judeo-Christian values. They need to know about the Constitution. They need to be inspired by heroes like George Washington," Walters said. At an Oct. 25 debate, Walters said: "We have to continue to stay vigilant as the far left has decided that they're going to launch a war for our kids' minds and convince our young people that they are racist. They're going to inject this division into the classroom. They're going to inject this hatred of the Constitution and the values this country was founded on." ...But not everything.
The Norman Transcript reported that Walters wants to install a "God-based...Read More |
From Ian: Gleefully abandoning Israel Kasher's post was so incendiary that Facebook removed it for violating rules of decent conduct. But Kasher didn't let up. He continued to expectorate that "a Jewish people with this face is not my Jewish people, and not the Jewish people among which I wish to be counted as a son." As a result, he announced that he now prefers not to be called a Jew but rather only "a person of Jewish origin." He then went on to reject "invalid" calls for unity with the two camps he views as mutations. "The differences between me and the people of the mutations are not marginal and should not be ignored for the sake of a higher goal," he wrote. "There is no true unity and there never will be." What makes Asa Kasher's diatribe so disturbing is its source. Until now, Kasher had been considered one of this country's respected and reasonable thinkers, someone who authored the IDF's code of ethics in warfare and who defended its targeted assassination policies in academic and legal forums worldwide. He is an Israel Prize laureate. Now it seems that Kasher has lost his bearings in a haze of hatred and self-hatred. Religious Zionist Party Chairman Bezalel Smotrich responded to Kasher's remarks, saying they saddened him. "People like Asa Kasher, whose wisdom, integrity, and morality I wanted to appreciate, are now unmasked as lacking national responsibility, personal integrity, and...Read More |
David Miller, the crazed Jew-hater academic whose antisemitism got him fired from Bristol University, and whose slavish support for his Iranian paymasters and against freedom for women in Iran has turned off even his most ardent Leftist fans, has written an article about the dangers of "hasbara."
His venue is the Hezbollah newspaper Al Mayadeen.
As with everything else Jewish, Miller sees nothing but conspiracies - dark, sinister conspiracies by the evil Hasbarists, controlled by Israel, working in concert for nefarious aims. The Zionist entity has a myriad of ways to target audiences outside occupied Palestine. One time-honored approach is to send settler colonists from Palestine to spread the word as "Schlichim" or "emissaries" in what is referred to incorrectly as the "diaspora", a term which implies, falsely, that all Jews have some connection to Palestine. Yeah, why should daily prayers yearning to return to Zion indicate that Jews have a connection to Israel?
Miller gives lots of bogus...Read More |
Yisrael Medad writes an important piece in the Jerusalem Post: Said Arikat is the Washington Bureau Chief of the Al Quds daily newspaper and ...is a long-time Washington-based journalist. True to his newspaper's self-assumed role as trumpeting an ideological presentation of pro-Palestinianism, Arikat has, to his credit, maneuvered himself into an ideal position through his presence at US State Department press briefings. There, he never fails to present the various spokespersons at the podium with carefully worded questions that usually trumpet a propaganda angle, inserting doubtful "facts." He always leads those spokespersons to utter conclusions that would both aid the cause of Palestine while deviously demonizing Israel. If anything, Medad understates the issue. Every day, it seems, the State Department spokesperson calls on this relatively obscure reporter, and every day Said Arikat uses that opportunity to put rabid anti-Israel lies - and sometimes, antisemitic lies - on the official public record, pretending that he is simply asking questions.
I've noted before how Arikat once implied that Israel controls members of Congress and has them do their bidding. I've also written about how he (and others) have tried to leverage US support...Read More |
