| Arab hyperbole inflation: "The Zionist occupation is a threat to humanity"noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 26 Dec 05:45 AM A Palestinian environmental | |
A Palestinian environmentalist who loves his land
The problem with hyperbole is that it eventually loses its effectiveness - and to keep it going, one has to keep upping the ante.
The UK-based Al Araby, which publishes in English as "The New Arab," has an editorial whose headline declares that "The Zionist occupation is a threat to humanity."
Sounds ominous!
It starts off with the usual supposed crimes against Palestinians - "the ethnic liquidation of the people of Palestine," that somehow keeps growing; "destruction of the economy, cutting off livelihoods, and reducing job opportunities to a minimum" (even though record numbers of Palestinians have well-paying jobs in Israel,) "destroying the health sector and limiting the Palestinian's access to appropriate and urgent medicine," even though it is the PA that no longer allows Palestinians to be treated in Israeli hospitals - except for their own VIPs.
But that's hardly enough for an op-ed. So the newspaper editors have to add that Israel is trying to eliminate Palestinians from existence by "destroying the Palestinian environment, by uprooting trees, confiscating lands, and polluting water and soil."
Given that Palestinians burn Israeli lands, burn tires in protests and ruin the groundwater, this...Read More |

"Death to Israel"
El Bashayer reports: On Friday, a demonstration took place in the Sitra area of Bahrain, rejecting the holding of Hanukkah activities in the country, and all forms of normalization with the Israeli entity, and in support of the Palestinian cause. "Chanukah is a Zionist project and normalization program" Palestine Today reports that the demonstration was repeated today, and managed to cancel a Chanukah event tonight. Sunday evening, a massive demonstration took place in Bahrain to condemn the normalization of Manama with the Israeli occupation. Activists circulated on social media, video clips, the moment a mass demonstration began near Bab Al Bahrain, denouncing normalization and holding Hanukkah events in the country. The participants raised banners denouncing the condemnation and slogans of "Death to Israel". The demonstration led to the cancellation of the first Hanukkah activities scheduled to start this...Read More |
From Ian: Melanie Phillips: Happy inclusive holidays! What a minefield this whole identity thing is. Thank goodness Chanukah doesn't present this problem, eh? For many diaspora Jews, Chanukah is regarded as Christmas-lite with gifts, diet-destroying delicacies and a lighted menorah in place of a glittering tree. And there can hardly be much danger of offending anyone with a card displaying a chanukiah, dreidel or doughnut, or standard anodyne message such as "Festival of lights", "Love, light, latkes" or "Peace, love and miracles". Hold on a minute. Chanukah is not actually a festival of peace and love. It celebrates instead the victory of the Maccabees who went to war against both the Seleucid Greeks and the Hellenists, Jews who were themselves drawn to the pagan ways of their Greek overlords. The Maccabees were not apostles of peace. They were more like resistance commandos, fierce and uncompromising warriors who fought their Greek oppressors. Moreover, they also committed violent atrocities against the Hellenised Jews who had absorbed Greek universalism and as a result had taken aim at circumcision, Shabbat observance and Torah study. The Maccabees regarded those overly-assimilated Jews as traitors to Judaism and dealt with them accordingly. In the saccharine world of much Chanukah observance, the Maccabees are commonly presented as heroes fighting and defeating the tyrannical Greeks. This...Read More |
By Daled Amos This week, America First Legal sued President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken for violating the Taylor Force Act. The group represents Stuart and Robbi Force, the parents of Taylor Force who was murdered by Palestinian terrorists, Sarri Singer, a survivor of a 2003 terrorist attack, and US Congressman Ronny Jackson (R-TX). Taylor Force was murdered on March 8, 2016, and despite the fact that he was neither Jewish nor Israeli, the Palestinian Authority repeatedly praised the terrorist who killed Taylor as a martyr: Biden was Vice President at the time and was in Israel, in Tel Aviv where the attack took place. "I don't know exactly whether it was a hundred meters or a thousand meters," Biden, on a visit to Israel, told reporters about Tuesday's assault. "It brings home that it can happen, it can happen anywhere, at any time," he said, after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, Abbas offered condolences at the same time that the official PA News was praising the murderer. The Taylor Force Act was signed into law in 2018 to stop Abbas and the PA from incentivizing...Read More |
The "UN Special Rapporteur on Occupied Palestinian Territories" has shown, yet again, how little she cares about the truth - and about Jewish lives - in this Twitter thread about the lung cancer death of arch-terrorist Nasir Abu Hmeid (Hamid). Abu Hamid, Palestinian refugee from Al-Amar Camp, West Bank, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002, for alleged involvement in attacks against Israeli forces during the 2nd Intifada. His detention appeared to violate basic human rights standards, including denial of family visits.Lie #1: He was not a "Palestinian refugee." By definition, a refugee cannot live in the same country they are supposedly refugees from. The definition of refugee is very clear in the UN Refugee Convention.
Lie #2: He was not sentenced for "alleged involvement in attacks against Israeli forces." He was sentenced to multiple life sentences for his involvement in murdering seven Israeli civilians, not soldiers. And there is nothing alleged about it. Palestinians openly brag about his so-called "resistance."
Lie #3: While Israel may have sometimes denied family visits for specific technical reasons, but they certainly allowed them. Not only did the family get to visit Abu Hamid and his three terrorist...Read More |
