| A short history of "Arabs Threaten Jews" (not "Zionists")noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 22 Nov 05:45 AM I decided to do a quick search of headlines | | I decided to do a quick search of headlines said that Arabs threatened Jews. April 17, 1920: Arabs threaten to massacre all Jews of Palestine (which included many non-Zionists at the time.) March 14, 1925: Arabs threaten to attack Jews if they honor Balfour when he visits. August 11, 1925: Arabs threaten to massacre all Jews in Palestine again (even though the headline says "of Zion movement." November 23, 1929: Arabs threaten force if Jews continue to worship at the Western Wall. May 13, 1936: Arabs threaten Jews in Arab countries if they don't get their demands met in Palestine. June 26, 1936: Bedouin in Transjordan threaten to march across the river to aid their brethren in the "great Arab revolt." June 30, 1936: Algerian Arabs threaten Algerian Jews. October 10, 1938: Arab leaders send a telegram to Chaim Weizmann threatening the lives of all Jews in the "East" if Zionists don't accede to their demands, saying it would be the worst calamity in Jewish history. May 30, 1946: Rulers of Arab states warn Palestinian Jews of plans to have Jews immigrate from DP camps to Palestine. One leader says that if 100,000 Jews enter Palestine after almost being slaughtered in Europe, then the Arabs would slaughter all 100,000 of them. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

From Ian: Why is the religious left taking sides against Israel? For the old religious and evangelical left, Israel often represents Western Civilization, colonialism, and imperialism. For aging denizens of Liberation Theology, the Palestinian cause offers the narrative of a Third World people oppressed by First World wealth, technology, and cultural superiority. Israel is an ally of the United States, and from the religious left's perspective, is an unwelcome extension of American (and British) power into the Mideast. The Palestinians, from that view, are victims of the American imperium, meriting special advocacy by concerned justice-minded American Christians. The religious left's animus towards Israel leads to often absurd contradictions and double standards. Evangelical leftists relate to this narrative, often informed by their own neo-Anabaptist perspective, which is pacifist and anti-empire. Israel of course has by necessity a significant military force, much of it made possible through American aid. This rankles neo-Anabaptists who think anti-violence is the gospel's chief theme. There is another sometimes-underlying concern for neo-Anabaptists. They are discomfited by ancient biblical Israel, with its divinely ordained kings, warrior heroes, armies, and military victories, all of which defy the neo-Anabaptist stress on God as supremely peaceful. If only unconsciously...Read More |
A couple of videos of Muslims showing their respect for the "third holiest spot in Islam." Here are some Palestinians recently practicing their boxing. And, this past summer, some sacred circus moves. They aren't "storming," though. So all is good.

Guest post from Paul M. John and Leila The most effective army Israel faced in its 1948 war of independence was the Arab Legion of Transjordan. There's a reason for that: It was not just armed and trained by Britain, it was led by British officers as well, commanded by Lt. General Sir John Bagot Glubb, affectionately known by the Ottoman honorific Glubb Pasha. Glubb was a career soldier, a much-decorated British officer from 1915 until 1956, through two world wars and the assault on the new Jewish state. He was much-honored too, with an alphabet behind his name: KCB, CMG, DSO, OBE, MC, KStJ & KPM. If, in the fighting world, you wanted to find Lt. General Sir John Bagot Glubb's diametric opposite, you might be tempted to choose Leila Khaled, member of the Marxist-Leninist PFLP, serial airplane hijacker, pin-up for terrorism groupies everywhere. And, surprisingly, you might be wrong. They're less different than you would imagine. In 1973 Leila Khaled wrote her autobiography, called "My People Shall Live." (I expect there will be a second volume someday, "Your People Should Die," but I digress.) Who supplied the foreword? John Bagot Glubb. I had always assumed Lt. General Glubb was simply a good soldier, following orders to serve his country by serving his country's client, but it seems it was more personal than that. The first thing to strike you about Glubb's foreword is how naive it is. He simply...Read More |
From Ian: Qatar's farcical World Cup begins Even before the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar kicked off, the tournament already had a hero: the former captain of the Iranian national team, Ali Daei. Now retired and working as a coach, Daei is without question the greatest footballer Iran has ever produced, playing at senior level both in his home country and in Germany. Daei was even the world's top international goal scorer until last year, when his haul of 109 goals was pipped by a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. Adored in Iran, he made 149 appearances for the men's national team, including the World Cup tournaments of 1998 and 2006. Daei is also a devout Muslim who once turned down a lucrative offer to appear in a beer ad in Germany on the grounds that the consumption of alcohol is proscribed by his faith. But as with many Iranians, in Daei's case, belief in the religious tenets of Islam does not necessarily translate into support for the Islamic Republic that has ruled with an iron fist since 1979. Last week, circumventing the restrictions imposed on internet access by the Iranian regime amid historic protests against its continued rule, Daei told his 10.6 million followers on Instagram that he had turned down an invitation to attend the competition from its Qatari hosts and FIFA, world soccer's governing body. Daei cited the protests that have convulsed Iran as the reason for his staying away from Qatar...Read More |
Iran's Tasnim News Agency reports: The residents of Tel Aviv and Haifa in the occupied territories left their houses a few days ago after a massive explosion sound and a power outage. The people fleeing in panic were told that the blast sound was caused by the sonic boom of fighter jets during a military drill. The residents of Tel Aviv and Haifa districts (the Sharon plain) in the occupied territories heard an explosion sound on Friday night, which was followed by a power outage. The people fled their houses for fear of a missile attack by the Gaza resistance forces. They were told after a while that the blast sound was caused by the sonic boom of fighter jets during a military drill. Immediately after the incident, all reports about the blast released by the Hebrew-language media outlets and accounts were deleted from the virtual space. A number of more famous media outlets had already announced in their reports that updates about the cause of the blast or the number of casualties would be released later. What has remained unclear two days after the incident is the unannounced war game and why the Zionist regime's ministry of defense had not publicized the drill beforehand. Another suspicious issue is the deletion of posts and news about the incident from the virtual space. The monitoring of the incident lays bare the special connection between...Read More |
Arabic media is filled with dozens of mentions of this story:
Dr. Mohamed Mukhtar Gomaa, Minister of Awqaf, confirmed that the ministry has finished translating 20 chapters of the Holy Qur'an into Hebrew, and added that the aim of the translation into Hebrew is that there are Jewish orientalists who translated the Qur'an and there are big mistakes that lead to deviation in the meaning, so it was necessary to translate into Hebrew..
It is interesting that even though the story is widely reported, I am not seeing anyone accusing the Egyptian Waqf of "normalizing" with Israel because of this translation. Islamic scholars are especially sensitive to any misrepresentations of the Quran. The most famous translation of the Quran into Hebrew was by Professor Uri Rubin, who was a scholar at the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies at Tel Aviv University. This abstract of an Iranian paper about his Quranic translations would explain why the Muslims might respect Rubin's scholarship but would...Read More |
