Study: Antisemitism is associated with conspiracy thinking, authoritarianism and desire to overturn the social ordernoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 Like   Tweet   Study: Antisemitism is associated with conspiracy thinking, authoritarianism and desire to overturn the social order noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 Jul 04:45 AM Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.., made headlines this weekend when he seemed to claim that COVID-19 could have been genetically engineered to target certain populations, and then mentioned there have been studies that suggested that Chinese people and Ashkenazic Jews are less susceptible to the virus. "COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese," the Democratic presidential candidate said in a video that the New York Post published. There is indeed such a study, from 2020, which he gets slightly wrong. The two groups that the study claimed were less likely to be susceptible to COVID-19, based on an analysis of two specific genes, were Ashkenazic Jews and the Amish. Latino, South and East Asian, and Finnish people were less susceptible than other groups as well. Kennedy later clarified, saying he "never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I do not believe and never implied that the ethnic effect was deliberately engineered." Obviously, a large number (and percentage) of Ashkenazic Jews died of COVID-19, so the study did not predict anything accurately. But the cat is out...Read More 07/15 Links: Netanyahu admitted to hospital for dehydration; RFK Jr. says COVID may have been 'ethnically targeted' to spare Jews; Activist backs off Sweden Torah burning noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 15 Jul 08:30 PM From Ian: Hospitalized for Apparent Dehydration, Netanyahu Says He 'Feels Very Good' Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday he felt "very well" after being hospitalized for dizziness, with his office saying the 73-year-old leader had likely been dehydrated. The Israeli leader will, however, stay in hospital overnight for continued medical supervision. Netanyahu was rushed to Sheba medical center in the afternoon, his office said, noting he was in "good condition and undergoing medical evaluations." Later his office said Netanyahu had on Friday spent time in the scorching heat of the Sea of Galilee, in Israel's north. "Today, he felt slightly dizzy, and at the advice of his personal physician, Dr Zvi Berkowitz, was taken to Sheba's emergency department," another statement said. "The initial examinations showed normal findings," it added. "The initial evaluation is dehydration." In a video recording released several hours later, Netanyahu said he spent time on the lake with his wife "in the sun, without a hat, without water." "Not a good idea," Netanyahu said, noting however that he was now feeling better. "I feel very well," he said, imploring Israelis to "spend less time in the sun" and "drink more water" in the wake of the heatwave scorching the country. Netanyahu was hospitalized over Shabbat, apparently for dehydration. He says...Read More 07/14 Links Pt2: Melanie Phillips: The real crisis in the west; BDS proponents suffer third consecutive loss in court; Friedman Finally Stumbles onto a Not-Totally-Bad Idea noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 14 Jul 05:00 PM From Ian: Interview With Alex Ryvchin, Author of "The Seven Deadly Myths" Over the years, many books have been written about antisemitism from different perspectives. How is your book different? Many books have addressed the 'why' of antisemitism. Why are the Jews so hated? Why have such things been inflicted on them? Why do they continue to be targeted? This book will go some way to explaining the 'why' but my central interest is the 'how'? How does antisemitism function in practice? How is it transmitted around the world and from generation to generation? This question of 'how' led me to the seven deadly myths. It is through this complex and well-honed mythology that antisemitism thrives. As Isaac Herzog said in reference to my book: By shifting emphasis from the 'why' of this puzzling and dangerous phenomenon to the 'how' of the mechanics of its transmission, Ryvchin points to the possibility of actually confronting and diffusing it. You mention in your book that it could be used in the classroom. There is discussion about Holocaust education — and how it has failed, both in making people knowledgeable and in changing attitudes. What do you think are some of the causes for this and how would your book and a curriculum based on it overcome these problems? Holocaust education is vital and I support it entirely. Within the study...Read More UN-OCHA moving the goalposts to make Israel look bad noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 14 Jul 03:00 PM The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs of the Palestinian territories comes out with a report every month about imports, exports, entrances and exits from Gaza. In its report on June, it says: In June, the Israeli authorities allowed 42,220 exits of people from Gaza (in most cases, travelers exited multiple times). This is 13 per cent higher than the exits in May, and 19 per cent higher than the monthly average in 2022. However, it is 92 per cent lower than the monthly average in 2000, before the imposition of category-based restrictions by the Israeli authorities. They are comparing the number of exits with 2000 - when thousands of Israelis still lived in Gaza and traveled freely in and out every day? Before the second intifada when checkpoints needed to be enforced? Of course the number of exits will never be nearly as high as in 2000; the borders were porous then. If they were to compare with any previous year, they should - and normally do - compare it to the time between Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, and when Israel started restrictions on Gaza after Hamas violently took over the territory in 2007. Otherwise it is comparing apples to oranges. So let's look at previous UN charts. Here's a UN chart from 2016 that was already deceptive...Read More Arabs freaking out over a dvar Torah in this week's parasha noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 14 Jul 01:30 PM Arutz-7 published a d'var Torah this week by prominent Religious Zionist Rabbi Melamed, where he encourages Israeli Jews to have more children and for diaspora Jews to move to Israel, because he says the more Jews in the land, the more peace there will be. In one part of the essay that mentions this week's Torah portion he says, Why were the borders of the land reduced in Parashat Masei? The borders of the Land of Israel are from the [Nile] River to the Euphrates River. However, in practice, in Parashat Masei, when God commanded Israel to occupy the land and settle it, he commanded to conquer only the western side of the Jordan. Because the mitzvot of settling the land must be fulfilled according to the ability of the people of Israel. And since the number of Israel was not sufficient to settle the whole Land of Israel, the mitzvah was to first conquer the more sacred part, to the west of thee Jordan. And only after they multiply, they would be able to gradually expand towards the eastern Jordan and all the territories of the Promised Land of Israel (Ramban Bamidbar 21:21; Malbim ibid.). Therefore, from the beginning, Israel did not intend to conquer the land of Sihon and Og, and only after they did not accept the peace offer and went to war against Israel, the people of Israel conquered their land. And there was still no intention to settle there, so when the sons of Reuven and Gad asked to cross the Jordan, Moses was very careful about them, but in retrospect he granted...Read More 07/14 Links Pt1: WSJ: Biden Treats Israel Worse than He Does Iran; Just say no to 'Palestine'; Israel protests as Sweden allows Torah burning outside embassy on Saturday noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 14 Jul 11:00 AM From Ian: WSJ: Biden Treats Israel Worse than He Does Iran The Wall Street Journal's editorial board on Thursday night published a scathing attack on President Biden's Israel police, especially the way he's been mistreating PM Benjamin Netanyahu's government. To remind you, last Tuesday, NY Times pundit Tom Friedman wrote (White House Urging Israelis to Play Nice, Tom Friedman Says US to Reassess Relationship with Israel): "US diplomats … find it hard to believe that Bibi would allow himself to be led around by the nose by people like Ben-Gvir, would be ready to risk Israel's relations with America and with global investors, and WOULD BE READY TO RISK A CIVIL WAR IN ISRAEL (sic.) just to stay in power with a group of ciphers and ultranationalists." In its response to that and similar brazen attacks fueled by the administration, the WSJ editorial board (What Does Biden Have Against Israel? – The President treats the governing coalition in Jerusalem worse than he does Iran) asked: "Why does President Biden go out of his way to snub, criticize and give marching orders to the government of Israel? At least rhetorically, the President and his Administration treat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his governing coalition worse than they do the ruling mullahs in Iran." The WSJ is critical of Biden's repeated declaration that he will not invite the Israeli...Read More Abbas' visit to Jenin was either a success or a failure, depending on which media you read noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 14 Jul 09:25 AM On Wednesday, PA president Mahmoud Abbas visited Jenin for the first time in over a decade. The visit was widely viewed as a belated attempt to assert that the PA is in control of the area, which no one really believes. Hamas media says: During his visit to Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank, the President of the Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, showed disregard for meeting popular figures and representatives of the factions, as his visit was limited to the outer edges of the camp. This sparked anger and resentment among the people. The official PA news agency Wafa paints an entirely different picture of the visit: An atmosphere of relief prevailed, after President Mahmoud Abbas' tour in the city of Jenin and its camp today, Wednesday . His Eminence began his tour in the Jenin camp, by laying a wreath of flowers on the tombs of the martyrs in the new martyrs' cemetery in Jenin camp. His Eminence also inspected the effects of the destruction left by the recent Israeli aggression, and was briefed on the progress of work in its reconstruction...Read More Man plans to burn Jewish holy books in Sweden outside Israel embassy - proving anti-Zionism is antisemitism noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 14 Jul 07:00 AM From Times of Israel: Outrage mounted in Israel on Friday after Swedish police accepted a request to allow the burning of a Bible outside of the Israeli embassy in Stockholm on Saturday, just weeks after Quran burnings took place in the city. Local police confirmed two weeks ago to Sweden's national public broadcaster that it had received an application from an individual in his 30s to burn a Jewish and a Christian Bible outside Israel's Embassy in Stockholm on July 15 as "a symbolic gathering for the sake of freedom of speech." It was not immediately clear if the person planned to burn a copy of the Bible or a Torah scroll. The person planning to do the burning appears to be the same Egyptian who threatened to burn a Torah and a Christian Bible in January. He ended up postponing the action but said he planned to do it in the future. The Quran burning earlier this month was done outside a mosque. But this one is being done outside the Israeli embassy. In January, the man told Swedish media, "Burning holy books is somewhat disgusting, but I am angry and will do it to have a discussion." He also said that the Islamic Association in Stockholm's mosque urged him not to...Read More    ©2023 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
