| No, a settler didn't deliberately ram his car into two Palestinian brothersnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 20 Dec 05:45 AM On Saturday night, two Pal | | On Saturday night, two Palestinian brothers whose car was having some problems were hit by an Israeli car, which killed them. Immediately, Palestinian leaders and Arab and Muslim media accused the Israeli "settler" of "deliberately" ramming the car into them to kill them. Gruesome video of the dead brothers sprawled on the road incited Palestinian hate. Palestinian leaders called for an investigation for what they already determined was a deliberate double murder.
It was clearly not deliberate. It was a hit and run accident.
The Jerusalem Post shows photos of the car, heavily damaged and pushed into a ditch so hard it was on its side. Here's a classic case of psychological projection.
Palestinians ram their (expensive) cars...Read More |
From Ian: Daniel Greenfield: The light of Hanukkah that has continued to shine for 74 years A candle is a brief flare of light. A wick dipped in oil burns and goes out again. The Hanukkah light appears no different, but it is. Two thousand years after the Jews had come to believe that wars were for other people and miracles meant escaping alive, Jewish armies stood and held the line against an empire and the would be empires of the region. And now the flame still burns, though it is flickering. Seventy-four years is a long time for oil to burn, especially when the black oil next door seems so much more useful to the empires and republics across the sea. And the children of many of those who first lit the flame no longer see the point in that hoary old light. But that old light is still the light of possibilities. It burns to remind us of the extraordinary things that our ancestors did and of the extraordinary assistance that they received. We cannot always expect oil to burn for eight days, just as we cannot always expect the bullet to miss or the rocket to fall short. And yet even in those moments of darkness the reminder of the flame is with us for no darkness lasts forever and no exile, whether of the body of the spirit, endures. Sooner or later the spark flares to life again and the oil burns again. Sooner or later the light returns. It is the miracle that we commemorate because it is a reminder of possibilities...Read More |
The lyrics in English are: The festival of Hanuka is approaching
It fills us all with joy.
A woman never fails to do her duty,
For she is entrusted with the hanukiyah. The Hasmonayim on this bright day
Showed us their great valor.
We shall always remember them
And we shall always bless our great God. What a pleasure it is for the children
When they begin to receive sweets,
Beautiful toys from their father
With warm hugs from their mother. God saved us from great sorrow.
May he always be our great savior.
May we never have trouble or sickness,
May we never know bitterness. Plus bonus song, "Micky Shiloah - Eight Nights (A Hanukkah Love Song)."

Salah Hammouri, who was deported to France today, is a terrorist. There is no doubt about that. He has admitted it.
While newspapers say that he denied having anything to do with a plot to assassinate Israel's Sephardic chief rabbi, and that he was even a member of the PFLP, he admitted to the plot in his plea bargain. Moreover, he essentially admitted to and justified the plot in this PFLP website, no longer online, from 2011, which also calls him a member of the group ("comrade.") Moreover, this PFLP website listed him as one of their members, #8, who participated in a hunger strike only this past September (autotranslated): But this would-be assassin is labeled a "human rights defender" by the UN, by the International Federation of Human Rights, and...Read More |
From Ian: Bassam Tawail: Biden Administration and the Two-State Delusion The results of several public opinion polls, including the most recent one, demonstrate that Blinken and his team are either engaging in self-deception or simply fail to understand or see what most Palestinians want: Killing more Jews and the obliteration of Israel. This is not the first poll to show that a majority of Palestinians oppose the "two-state solution." That is because they are clamoring for a Palestinian state not alongside Israel, but instead of Israel. The rising popularity of Hamas among the Palestinians is a clear sign that most of them identify with the Islamist group's goal of destroying Israel. According to the latest poll, if new presidential elections were held today, the Biden administration's favorite Palestinian interlocutor, Mahmoud Abbas, would receive 36% and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh would get 54%. In addition, 75% said they want the 87-year-old Abbas to resign. The Palestinians, in short, are telling Blinken and the Biden administration that they can keep dreaming about the two-state fantasy for as long as they wish, but that they prefer "armed struggle" and terrorism to peace negotiations with Israel. It would have been a good idea if Blinken had listened to what Hamas leaders clearly said in the past few days during rallies to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the founding of their group...Read More |
In October, at least eight Palestinians died when their the boat they were on to try to enter Europe sank off the coast of Tunisia.
Their bodies were returned to Gaza over the weekend and their funerals were held.
Hazem Qassem, a spokesman for the Hamas movement, said, "We mourn the martyrs of the siege who were killed off the Tunisian coast, and we extend our sincere condolences and great sympathy to their honorable families, asking God Almighty to grant them patience and solace."
In a press statement Sunday, Qassem held Israel fully responsible for their deaths.
Gazans, however, blamed a different party: Hamas itself. "The government that governs us here is the reason. It's to blame. It's to blame," said Naheel Shaath, whose 21-year-old son Adam was among the dead. "I blame all officials here who don't care for the youths or provide job opportunities for them." "Our children are drowning in the sea and their children are enjoying luxury. Isn't this unfair?" Mrs. Shaath said. Another family, the al-Shaers...Read More |
The top story on St. Louis KSDK news last night was about a dual citizen Palestinian American who was detained by the Israeli army as she tried to go through a checkpoint to Jerusalem: Israeli Defense Forces detained a St. Louis college student on Friday and held her over the weekend after she attempted to cross the border from Ramallah into Jerusalem to visit revered holy sites with her family. Hala Kasim Salameh, a 22-year-old Palestinian-American woman from St. Louis, was visiting the West Bank with her mother, sister, aunt and cousin. According to her family, Salameh is an American citizen who had proper documentation, a travel permit, a U.S. passport and her Palestinian I.D. card when she approached the first checkpoint but was turned away. "Sometimes it doesn't really go how you want, and they can refuse your entry for no reason at all, and that's exactly what happened to my sister," her younger sister Yumna Salameh told 5 On Your Side in a video call on Sunday night. "She tried to ask them twice to go in, and they still refused her entry," she said. "They kind of got aggressive with her, too." After being separated from her family at the first checkpoint, Salameh tried again to reconnect with them in a taxi cab. She managed to make one final phone call to her family before she was arrested. Neveen Ayesh, a St. Louis advocate...Read More |
