| A short Palestinian lexicon of words that mean something completely different than their normal meaning noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 24 Nov 05:45 A | | Often, when Israel-haters accuse Israel of some crime, they use terminology that they have given a completely different definition than it has in any other context.
This is quite deliberate. They first choose the crime they want to accuse Israel of, and then change the definition of the crime to fit (or pretend to fit) Israel.
Some examples include "apartheid," "racism," "colonialism" and "settler colonialism," "ethnic cleansing," "international law," and "occupation," which the haters have redefined at least twice.
Related is how the word "refugee" means something different for Palestinians than it does for everyone else.
These are all words with precise, legal meanings, whose very definitions are different when Israel is involved...Read More |
From Ian: Israel can't ever be innocent Then Goldstone went and changed his mind and all hell broke loose. It took him a year and a half, but very publicly, in the Washington Post he retracted everything. "Civilians," he wrote, "were not intentionally targeted as a matter of policy." To everyone it came as a shock, to some a shock and a blow. They would not admit that Goldstone had changed his mind. Goldstone, on the other hand, could not have made himself clearer:
"I had hoped," he said, "that our inquiry into all aspects of the Gaza conflict would begin a new era of even-handedness at the U.N. Human Rights Council, whose history of bias against Israel cannot be doubted." (Washington Post, 1 April, 2011) The credo, however, withstood the shock, as it had done after the hoax massacre. Amnesty would not settle for anything less than a crime. In Jenin its globe trotter wandered around looking for the corpses that Israel "hid." Now a respected Jewish lawyer had gone and spoilt the plot. He particularly upset the resident expert at the UN Human Rights Council. Professor John Dugard took the position Amnesty had taken in Jenin: Israel can't ever be innocent. "He (Goldstone) could not possibly have meant that Israel did not "intentionally target civilians as a matter of policy" in the legal sense of intention. That Israel's assault was conducted in an indiscriminate manner with full knowledge that its consequences would...Read More |
When Kanye (Ye) West finally managed to out himself as an antisemite, the response was predictable. Demand an apology. Demand that the offender's lucrative business deals be canceled. This is the pattern we've seen over the past several years, as antisemitism grows, even in America, the Goldene Medina. But is it working? It certainly didn't work with West. The rapper only doubled down and refused to apologize, even after several very profitable business contracts were canceled, as a result. Kanye (Ye) West The following exchange took place during an interview with Piers Morgan: Piers Morgan: "Do you now regret saying 'death con 3 on Jewish people'… Are you sorry you said that?" Kanye: "No… Absolutely not." Bottom of the barrel. Kanye West goes on Piers Morgan's show, presumably because that's the only show that would have him on, and offers most ridiculous half-assed apology ever. pic.twitter.com/HzOSvLAwA7 — Mike Sington (@MikeSington) October 19, 2022 In other words, despite the fact that Ye lost out on billions of dollars in potential earnings, he has shown little to no contrition for the hateful things he said about the Jewish people. Yet Morgan persisted until he at last managed to eke out a semblance of an apology from West:
"I will say I'm sorry for the people that I hurt with the 'Death Con' — the confusion that I caused. I feel...Read More |
The Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs announced that over 50,000 Palestinian children were detained by Israel since 1967.
Where did they get this number from? They made it up.
Oddly, the number seems to have gone down. In April, the very same commission announced that Israel had arrested (not just detained!) more than 53,000 Palestinian children since 1967.
A different group, Military Court Watch, sent a report to the UN claiming that 95,000 Palestinian children were incarcerated (not merely arrested or detained!) since 1967. And that report was in 2015!
Given that there are never more than a couple hundred prisoners under 18 at one time, that is a neat trick.
This is similar to the "750,000" or "million Palestinians" supposedly imprisoned by Israel since 1967, another totally made up number that I thoroughly debunked here. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

From Ian: Israeli teen killed as terror bombings target 2 bus stops at entrances to Jerusalem Two explosions at two bus stops near entrances to Jerusalem on Wednesday morning killed one person and left another 22 people injured, police and medics said. Police described the explosions as a terror bombing attack. The first explosion occurred close to the main entrance of Jerusalem in Givat Shaul, shortly after 7 a.m., peak commuter hour. Eighteen people at the bus stop were injured in the blast, including two critically and two seriously, medical officials said. The victims were taken to two hospitals in Jerusalem. One of the victims injured in the first blast later died at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, hospital officials said. He was named as 16-year-old Aryeh Schupak, a yeshiva student from Jerusalem's Har Nof neighborhood, and a dual Israeli-Canadian national. A second blast occurred shortly after 7:30 a.m., at Ramot junction, another entrance to Jerusalem. Five people lightly hurt by shrapnel or suffered from anxiety in the second explosion were taken to the Hadassah Mount Scopus Medical Center, hospital officials said. A bus at the station was damaged by the explosion. It was unclear if the victims were at the station or on the bus itself...Read More |
From the UN:The Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) held closed consultations with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), titled "Advocating for Accountability in the Occupied Palestinian Territory", on 8 November 2022, as a virtual meeting under the Chatham House Rule. Participants included CSO representatives from Palestine, Israel and the United States, as well as from members and observers of the Committee. When a meeting is held under the Chatham House Rule, neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speakers or participants may be revealed. The purpose of the rule is to encourage open discussion since anything said is "off the record". So we do not know the names of the "civil society organizations" who participated. They could include organizations linked with Islamic Jihad, the PFLP or other terror groups. The speakers could include convicted terrorists. There is no transparency. The normal reason for Chatham House rules is to encourage discussion. In this case, though, the reason seems to be that the UN knows that some of the speakers and organizations have explicitly supported antisemitism, and they...Read More |
Columbia professor Joseph Massad is very upset that Jews are claiming the right to self-determination. If Jews indeed have the right to self-determination, then opposing that really is a form of antisemitism, and antisemites like Massad cannot admit to that. His normal method is to claim that Jews aren't a people, and that most Jews do not originate in the Middle East. If they aren't a people, then they have no right to self-determination. But Massad knows that everyone knows that is a lie besides dyed in the wool antisemites who call Jews "Khazars." So he has come up with a new argument: that the self-determination argument was never a Zionist tenet, rather it was a Palestinian Arab one. Since the inception of their war against the Palestinian people, Zionist ideologues did not argue for Jewish self-determination but rather sought to delegitimise the indigenous Palestinians' right to it. In the tradition of all colonial powers which denied that the colonised were a nation, the Zionists began by denying the nationness of the Palestinians. Actually, the Zionists didn't even address the "nationness" of the Palestinian Arabs, who themselves didn't assert such a status (except for a tiny number of intellectuals) until decades after Zionism was established. At the Paris Peace Conference...Read More |
