| Lebanese, Iraqis, Tunisians very upset when their leaders are reported in the same room as Israelisnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 09 Nov 05:45 AM Th | | The COP27 conference in Egypt has the usual comedy that we see at all major international conferences. Israeli delegates say that they met, or talked with, or were in the same room as Arab enemies, and the Arab delegates are forced to deny or downplay it, as best they can.
In this case, as AP reports: Israel's environmental protection minister attended a regional meeting Tuesday alongside Iraqi and Lebanese leaders at the global climate conference taking place in Egypt, the minister's office said, where the group pledged to work together to tackle climate change. According to a statement from the office of Israeli Environmental Protection Minister Tamar Zandberg, the meeting took place as part of a regional forum of eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. The agreement by the member countries said the parties would work to "strengthen regional cooperation" and "act in a coordinated way" on climate change. "The countries of the region share the warming and drying climate and just as they share the problems they can and must share the solutions. No country can stand alone in the face of the climate crisis," Zandberg said in the statement. In photos provided by her office, she is seen seated behind a small Israeli flag. Two seats away from her is Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid and across the room is Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati...Read More |
From Ian: No More ADL To understand why, think, for a moment, about Kyrie Irving. What would the head of a serious version of the ADL have done? It's actually pretty simple. First call attention to how messed up this situation is, not by issuing pompous statements with corporate logos slapped all over but by doing exactly what a bunch of Jewish kids did at a Brooklyn Nets home game earlier this month: wearing a T-shirt that says "Stop Anti-Semitism" in the front row of the stadium. Those kids probably invested a few hundred bucks, and in return received news coverage all over the world, appearing not as shadowy peddlers of indulgences but as what Jews actually are: outsiders getting pummeled left and right by bigots and haters. Then, this ADL chief would go on TV and instead of cozying up to Sharpton, America's greatest living pogromist, simply deliver the following speech: "I feel bad for Kyrie. I admire what seems like his willingness to seek out knowledge and to stand alone for what he thinks is true. But for all his alleged seeking, he still can't find the right answer. He's making the same mistake that millions have made throughout history—being smart and curious enough to wonder how the world works, but only finding imaginary Jews at the end of every road. This is the road to ignorance and misery, not to knowledge." Except, of course, that you can't give that speech...Read More |
A D-list influencer named Nicole Arbour tweeted, "Y'all I just can't with this 'antisemite' spree anymore. Someone, please explain to me how those in power can simultaneously claim victim status? I'm being genuine. Please explain it. A small % of the world is Jewish and they have amazingly amassed wealth, and business control" So I made this: * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

Al Quds reports: The police in the governorate of Jericho and the Jordan Valley closed, on Monday evening, a tourist villa in the city, by a decision of the governor, Jihad Abu al-Asal. The Police Public Relations and Media Department stated, in a press statement, that the closure was implemented by the Tourism, Antiquities and Environment Police, following the publication of advertisements for renting the villa and in video clips on social media that met with general discontent from citizens in the governorate and the rest of the regions. What appears to have happened is a young Christian Palestinian influencer, Marya Jadaoun, made a series of TikTok videos advertising a private villa in Jericho, including one with her cavorting in a pool while wearing a bikini. She has made similar videos before. Apparently the villa's owner paid her to make a viral video, which included its name and phone number. I found it without sound: Thousands of people saw it and some complained about such a terrible thing, which caused tens of thousands of others to now seek the video online (Jadaoun removed it from her TikTok.) Naturally, the Palestinian police stepped in to not only make sure that the video was taken down, but...Read More |
From Ian: Israel Won't Ever Be the Country of American Fantasies—Nor Should It Aspire to Be Following last week's election, the veteran Middle East reporter Thomas Friedman authored a New York Times column under the headline "The Israel We Knew Is Gone," full of dire predictions about what will befall the Jewish state now that its citizens have returned its longest-serving prime minister to power. Daniel Gordis dissects the column's faulty assumptions and misguided conclusions, which distill misconceptions that plague much American commentary on Israel:
Here's the heart of the problem. There are many people around the world who want Israel to be something it does not wish to be. They want it to be successful, but humble. They want it to be strong and secure, but still desperate for foreign support of all sorts. They want it to be Jewish, but in a "nice" kind of way. Israeli dancing (which I haven't seen here in years), flags at the right time, a country filled with "Hatikvah moments," as some call them. A country traditional enough to be heartwarming, but not so traditional that it would dare imply that less intense forms of Jewish life cannot make it. A country steeped in memory, but also one that is finally willing to move on. An Israel moderate in every way would be an Israel easy to love. It would be a source of pride, but...Read More |
Hamas' Al Resalah quotes a Palestinian think tank "Muetta" that monitors "acts of resistance," proudly reporting: Resistance activities continued in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem against the occupation forces and settlers during the last 24 hours. The Palestinian Information Center "Muetta" monitored 29 acts of resistance in the West Bank and Jerusalem during the last 24 hours, most notably 3 shootings against the occupation forces, confronting settlers' attacks and destroying their vehicles. Even Israeli media doesn't report on most of these incidents. Muetta listed the "acts of resistance" during October: Shootings 144
A stabbing or attempted stabbing 3
Run over or try to run over 3
Operations planting or dropping explosive charges 36
Destruction of military vehicles and equipment 46
Burning military installations, machinery and places 9
Throwing stones 631
Throwing a Molotov cocktail 57
Shooting firecrackers 27
Encounters of many forms 754
Resisting settlers' attacks 218
Demonstrations and rallies 69
Drone 2
Total 1999 This was more than double the 832 incidents they tallied in September.
There are dozens of Palestinian terror attacks daily...Read More |
There have been many different excuses given for hatred of Jews over the millenia. Pharaoh: "Let us deal shrewdly with them, so that they may not increase; otherwise in the event of war they may join our enemies in fighting against us and rise from the ground."
Haman: "[Their] laws are different from those of any other people and [they] do not obey the king's laws."
Voltaire: "The Jews are an ignorant and barbarous people, who have long united the most sordid avarice with the most detestable superstition and the most invincible hatred for every people by whom they are tolerated and enriched."
Luther: "Wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them."
Marx: "What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money."
Wagner: "[The Jews is] incapable ... of artistic expression, neither through his outer appearance, nor through his language and least of all through his singing."
Wilhelm Marr: "Jewry has ...corrupted all society with its views. It has driven out any kind of idealism, possesses the controlling position in commerce, infiltrates increasingly into state offices, rules the theater, constitutes a sociopolitical phalanx, and finally has left you little more than the hard manual labor that it always despised. "
For most of these, the hate of Jews came before their theories and justifications...Read More |
