| White supremacists trying to inflame Black-Jewish tensions with "slavery" flyersnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 Nov 05:45 AM Several times a week, | | Several times a week, antisemitic flyers are distributed in different parts of the country. This report from Fox in Atlanta this week describes a fairly typical event. The flyers typically mention the Goyim Defense League or GoyimTV, a white supremacist group that has been in the forefront of the wave of flyers as well as offensive signs on overpasses.
The formula for the flyers is fairly consistent. They claim that "every single aspect of X is Jewish," where X can be gun control, abortion, the "Covid agenda," the media, "Disney child grooming," the Biden administration, the Ukraine Russian war, and on and on. The intent is to incite white conservatives against Jews.
But lately they have added another component to this message .
The Atlanta story showed this example of the hate flyer, saying "Every single aspect of Black censorship is Jewish." The flyer shows recent examples of Black celebrities being criticized for their antisemitic statements, calling it "censorship."
Since when do white supremacists defend Blacks?
When they can leverage it into Blacks hating Jews.
And another incident in Rhode Island this week indicates that the neo-Nazis are trying to get Jews to believe that Black antisemites...Read More |
From Ian: A New Legal Approach to Jew-Hatred It's what makes Jews one people even if they speak different languages, have different color skin, and observe Judaism with different practices. And so, the concepts and terminology that the anti-Israel left chooses to employ now actually pit anti-Israel zealotry against American anti-discrimination laws. We counsel an updated application of Natan Sharansky's famous Three D's test. "Criticizing" Israeli Jews for being white colonizers does not merely aim to delegitimize Israel; it delegitimizes Jews by severing them from their constitutive national symbols, holy books, and beliefs. It demonizes Jews by casting them as "white occupiers" who exploit non-white people. And it engages in rank double standards against Jews by singling out for scrutiny, among all the nations of the world, their interrelated claims to their ancestral homeland and national unity. Just imagine the uproar if whites on university campuses told Afro-Caribbean students that they were not really black and could not share the banner with black students from other parts of the world. The victims of such harassment would quickly and rightly have administrators in their corner. The school could lose its federal funding for allowing an out-group to tell an in-group who they are and who they are not, and which national bonds emerging from the mists of time are sufficient...Read More |
Jewish Voice for Peace is sponsoring an event, "Kindle a Hanukkah Light for Palestinian Children's Books!" One of the books being featured is Ida in the Middle, by Nora Lester Murad.
Here is a summary of the book: In this debut novel for Murad, Ida, a bashful Palestinian American teenager, is dreading the final class project: discussing her "passion" with the rest of the class. Her anxiety skyrockets when the school principal informs her that she will be representing her school in this eighth-grade capstone for the entire region. She is terrified at the thought that someone in the audience will shout out "terrorist" as she ascends to the stage, just as someone had scribbled that insult on her school desk. Home alone one afternoon, as she worries yet again about that presentation, she reaches for her comfort food, green olives sent by her aunt all the way from Palestine. Olives, as every Palestinian knows, are not just a savoury snack; they encapsulate our culture in each dense nugget. When they are cured by a favourite aunt, they can have magic powers. As she eats the olives, Ida is transported to her parents' village, Busala, just outside Jerusalem, where she immediately feels at home. In this alternate reality, her parents have never left Palestine, and she has grown up with feelings of belonging...Read More |
Last week, junior at Northwestern University Lily Cohen wrote an op-ed for the campus newspaper the Daily Northwestern about her pride at being Jewish in the face of antisemitism. It took up a full page in the print edition, with the headline "I am more proud of my Jewish identity than anyone can ever hate me for it." She described how the slogan "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is a hateful attack on Jews that hurts her personally: "From the River to the Sea" is a slogan used by Hamas — a terrorist organization — as a rallying cry to destroy the entire State of Israel and all of its Jewish inhabitants. The phrase originated more than 30 years ago, evolving from language in the 1988 Hamas charter that promoted the destruction of Jews, echoing Adolf Hitler's messaging on the merits of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. This is where I draw the line. When that slogan is plastered around the walls of buildings where I study, when it's hung across The Arch that I walk under every day, when it's painted over The Rock that I helped paint only five hours earlier — in support of voting for gun safety and reproductive rights — I take offense. I feel hurt. I get angry. Spewing hate will never end in peace, and tearing down other causes is not a constructive way to promote your own. When similar situations have taken place...Read More |
From Ian: Daniel Pipes: Israel's Partial Victory These developments have two main implications for Israel. First, Israel won a victory over the Arab states, with their far larger populations, resources, economies, and diplomatic heft, a signal accomplishment that deserves far more attention than it has received. In 1994, for example, then–IDF Chief of Staff Ehud Barak argued that "in the foreseeable future, the main threat to the State of Israel is still an all-out attack by conventional armies." This year, Israeli strategist Efraim Inbar insisted that the "idea that Jewish and Arab states will coexist peacefully…ignores the reality on the ground." Granted, no Arab state signed a document of surrender or otherwise acknowledged defeat, but defeat was their reality. After going into battle with guns blazing in 1948, expecting easily to snuff out the nascent State of Israel, rulers in Cairo, Amman, Damascus, and elsewhere incrementally realized over a quarter-century that the scorned Zionists could beat them every time, no matter who initiated the surprise attack, no matter the terrain, no matter the sophistication of weapons, no matter the great-power allies. The fracturing of Arab-state enmity constitutes a tectonic shift in the Arab–Israeli conflict. That said, lasting victory can take many decades to be confirmed. Russia and the Taliban looked defeated in 1991 and 2001, respectively...Read More |
The former Jewish quarter in Tripoli
From The Arab News in 2020: In 2014, when the Magen Abraham Synagogue reopened in Beirut, Lebanese politicians from across the spectrum were present, bathed in the glare of TV cameras. They all reiterated their support for a community they said they cherished as much as the other 17 sects that make up the Lebanese government. Former prime minister Fouad Siniora declared: "We respect Judaism. Our only problem is with Israel." Even Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah weighed in: "This is a religious place of worship and its restoration is welcome." Hussain Rahal, a spokesman for Hezbollah, likewise said: "We respect the Jewish religion just like we do Christianity. The Jews have always lived among us. We have an issue with Israel's occupation of land." This is a standard lie we hear throughout the Arab world, and nowhere is it as obviously false as in Lebanon. Because there are still a handful of Jews in Lebanon - modern day crypto-Jews, frightened to be revealed to their neighbors...Read More |
Times of Israel reports: The US Federal Bureau of Investigation is launching an investigation into the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, apparently by an Israeli soldier, officials said Monday, with Israel immediately rejecting cooperation with the probe. US officials updated their Israeli counterparts earlier this month about the decision, an official familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel on Monday, confirming a Channel 14 news report. There is a lot that doesn't make sense about this. First of all, the US has insisted for months that they will accept the results of Israel's internal investigation. This a very strange about-face, with no obvious reason. Secondly, the FBI has - as far as I know - never done an independent investigation of an ally without their cooperation. Normally they will work together with, often upon request from, allies to add investigative expertise that other countries cannot do. To publicly disrespect an ally like this is extraordinary. Thirdly, this is even extraordinary according to official FBI policy described in this document: The FBI becomes...Read More |
