| British Library and Hill Museum restoring writings of early 20th century Gaza antisemitic clericnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 09 Dec 05:45 AM Al Ja | | Al Jazeera writes about a project funded by the British Library and the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library to restore a volume of fatwas by Sheikh Othman al-Tabbaa, of Gaza, written in 1904.
The article features this fatwa by the sheikh not to sell land to Jews: About 118 years ago, Sheikh Othman al-Tabbaa, one of the notables of the city of Gaza, issued a fatwa prohibiting "selling lands to Jews directly or through traitorous brokers, because it weakens the physical and moral strength of Muslims and strengthens the enemies of the nation and the homeland, (especially) when it appears that their intention is to exterminate patriots as a whole, and to take over their countries and homelands by various means, just as it is not permissible to support or support them." And the Jews referred to, according to the fatwa of Sheikh al-Tabbaa, "were not people of dhimma, security, and they had no covenant from the caliph of the Muslims, but rather they were deviants and vagabonds from the horizons, so it is not permissible to empower them from the homes of Muslims and sell them lands whose price was the blood of the mujahideen heroes, as well as the prohibition of brokering and mediating in selling to them, Rather, it appeared that the harm...Read More |
From Ian: NGO Monitor: Does Europe Support This? Al-Haq Tells the World to Dismantle Israel On November 29, 2022, the Palestinian NGO Al-Haq published yet another antisemitic screed dedicated to denying the Jewish people sovereign equality, by defining Zionism and the State of Israel as inherently illegitimate. For 200 pages, the Palestinian NGO – designated as a terrorist entity by Israel in October 2021 over its ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization – extorts the international community to dismantle the Jewish State. To achieve this goal, Al-Haq absurdly distorts Israeli policy and practice beyond recognition, and misrepresents international legal standards. Central to Al-Haq's publication is the repetition of the claim that Israel's existence as a Jewish State represents "apartheid." This assertion was debunked in NGO Monitor's 2021 and 2022 analyses: "False Knowledge as Power: Deconstructing Definitions of Apartheid that Delegitimise the Jewish State" and "Neo-Orientalism: Deconstructing claims of apartheid in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict." Al-Haq's publication is intended to influence the UN Human Rights Council's permanent Commission of Inquiry's (the "Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel,") plan to formally...Read More |

Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory. Check out their Facebook page. I Get To Reclaim My Ancestors' Home Because They Sided With A Failed Genocide by Issa Awad, Palestine Refugee Tulkarm, December 8 - The morality is of the situation is clear: my forebears fled Haifa in anticipation of Arab liberators slaughtering the Jews of the city and making ample plunder available, but when that didn't happen, and the Jews actually won and took over the place, my great-grandparents set up here among the Iraqi soldiers who failed to push further west and the Jews into the sea as promised. Had the promised massacres of Jews taken place, my family would probably be running a fishing operation, while enjoying some swag looted from the Jews. But it didn't, and now the only fair thing is for their descendants to return to Haifa as if nothing had happened. Why else would UNRWA exist? All refugees other than "Palestine Refugees" as defined by UNRWA follow a simple, if challenging, path: the UN Commissioner for Refugees cares for people fleeing conflict or persecution, and arranges for their permanent resettlement in some other country. Tens of millions of refugees have followed that route, but Palestine Refugees are special. We get to remain in perpetual statelessness until the war our people lost can be fought again and again, and maybe one day the result will be different...Read More |
From Ian: Lies, libels and the justification of terror Nov. 29 marked the 75th anniversary of United Nations Resolution 181, which called for the creation of two states, a Jewish state of Israel and an Arab state of Palestine. The Jewish community accepted those terms, and declared the State of Israel, while the Arab community refused, and launched a war that they then lost. Over time, however, Palestinians developed their own version of the "big lie" in the form of the "nakba" myth, a retelling of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war in which the would-be genocidal Arab armies that failed in their mission to eliminate the Jewish state are reimagined as the helpless victims of a horrible catastrophe (or "nakba," in Arabic) of destruction and displacement. The legend of the nakba is at the heart of much of modern anti-Zionism. Right on cue, on Nov. 30 the United Nations General Assembly voted to officially commemorate the founding of the State of Israel as a nakba. U.N. resolutions are not legally or morally binding, and they obviously cannot create truths. But they do lend a sheen of credibility to an otherwise ridiculous claim. Such a resolution makes it easier for the big lie to spread, because people can rely on and appeal to the GA's "authority" on the matter without having to defend or even care about the details of such a heinous accusation. And once a lie has become officially acceptable to speak...Read More |
On the occasion of its 35th anniversary, Hamas has announced that it will give out $2 million in aid to needy Gazans.
Aid will include repairs to 100 homes of the poor at a value of $5,000 each, and changing the roofs of 200 homes of needy families at a value of $300 per family. Also they are giving money to older groomd to pay for weddings.
Hey, if they can replace roofs for $300, they can make a fortune in the US. A Hamas spokesman said that these projects are a "thanks from Hamas for the steadfastness of our people and their preservation of the resistance project." They said that the recipients were chosen based on need. From past experience, one can be sure that they are all also members of Hamas. (The spokesman denied this.) Hamas and other terror groups often also engage in "charitable works" in order to help their public relations and to help recruit more members.
Sometimes it pays off, as the PFLP has graduated from being a terror group to being just a political movement and a founder of human rights NGOs, according to Human Rights Watch...Read More |
A small item on page 4 of the Los Angeles Times, November 25, 1942: This came in response to a report out of the Netherlands that the Nazis were extorting huge sums for exit permits. There is, unfortunately, a large body of literature on ransoming captives under Jewish law. A summary from Din Online: The Rambam (Matmos Aniim 8:10, based on the Gemara in Bava Basra 8b) states in the context of charity donations: "There is no greater mitzvah (i.e. use of charity funds) than redeeming captives." Based on its special importance, redemption of captives is the first priority for allocating charity funds. Echoing the Rambam, the Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De'ah 252:1) likewise states: "No mitzvah is as great as redeeming captives." The Gemara (Bava Basra 8b) highlights the plight of the captive in the hands of his captors. The latter can torture him, pass him through great suffering, and even kill him. He is entirely at their mercy. The Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De'ah 252:3) thus writes that one who can redeem a captive yet fails to do so is considered to be murdering at each moment. Nevertheless, the Mishnah (Gittin 45a) teaches that captives should not be redeemed for any price: "Captives are not redeemed for more than their value." The reason for this is discussed by the Gemara, which mentions two possible reasons, without deciding which of them is the true reason. One reason is that it is too weighty...Read More |
This week, the Atlantic Council held the N7 Conference on Education and Coexistence in Rabat, Morocco. Oren Eisner, President of the Jeffrey M. Talpins Foundation, explained the purpose of the conference: "It is critical to the future of normalization that the region's younger generations engage with each other and learn from each other. Our Conference on Education and Coexistence is designed to produce actionable policy recommendations for the region's governments that will increase cooperation and foster tolerance in education." Eisner added, "We are thrilled to bring the N7 nations together to the conference and are grateful to the participating governments for working together to develop stronger and lasting friendships in the Middle East."
