| Lebanese condemn a book about Chanukah that was distributed in a Christian school. Nah, nothing antisemitic here.noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 23 Ja | | Al Akhbar reports: A picture of a booklet titled "Hanukkah" was circulated on social media, distributed by UNIFIL forces to the students of Our Lady of the Annunciation School in Rmeish, south Lebanon, on the occasion of Christmas. . Indeed, it is stated in the pamphlet that Al-Akhbar reviewed, under the title Facts, that "thousands of years ago the Jewish people lived in a land called Judea (now Israel) and there were rulers who were not kind and respectful to the Jewish people... In about 165 BC, The king of Syria destroyed the temple of the Jewish people in Jerusalem, although he knew that this building was the cradle of the Jewish people, and he was deliberately trying to disturb them and make them feel despair. According to an informed source in the town, "the Irish battalion distributed it," describing the matter as "very dangerous, because it comes in the context of attempts to normalize relations with the occupying enemy, and it includes a denial of the right of the Palestinian people to their land, and it is a kind of introductory cultural normalization because it was distributed to students." A source in the school administration, who refused to reveal his name, ... reduced the seriousness...Read More |
Rob Eshman writes in The Forward: The way Jewish institutions reacted to a few dozen pro-Palestinian students protesting at the University of Michigan last week exemplifies an unwelcome trend in pro-Israel advocacy: the rise of Snowflake Zionism. The protesters marched through campus on Jan. 12 behind a woman who shouted into a bullhorn, "There is only one solution!" They chanted back, "Intifada! Revolution." The protest prompted a storm of outrage from some Jewish organizations, right-leaning Jewish outlets and social media, amplifying concerns that college campuses are not welcoming to supporters of Israel. "We're outraged by the chants calling for a violent intifada and demanding 'Zionists have got to go' by SJP at @UMich," tweeted Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League. "Let's be clear: this is a direct call to violence and the university must investigate this as a possible violation of Jewish students' rights under #TitleVI." Such responses have now become a kind of Palestinian-Jewish Kabuki. Students march. Jewish organizations swoop in, hurling accusations of antisemitism, demanding investigations and threatening to strip away federal funding. There are plenty of real antisemitic threats, as well as vandalism and assaults, committed on campuses and off. . But by intervening...Read More |
From Ian: Honest Reporting Canada In National Post: As Israel Turns 75 Years Old, A (Selected) List of 75 Facts & Accomplishments About Israel Israel turns 75 years old this spring, but despite being three-quarters of a century old, the modern Jewish state is more than merely surviving; it's thriving. In 1948, when Israel became an independent state, its population was only a few hundred thousand people; today, it's home to well over nine million. Israel was conceived not only as a place of refuge for Jews seeking safety from persecution, but as the modern-day manifestation of an ancient dream; the Jewish people's desire to fulfill their self-determination in their historic homeland. In 2023, Israel — like all countries — is not without challenges, some of them quite serious. But it's well-equipped to handle them. Despite being largely devoid of abundant natural resources — or perhaps, as a result of that shortage — Israel has become a world leader in environmental protection and the preservation of finite natural resources. The country has become known globally as the Startup Nation, famous for its innovative culture and growing number of startup companies. For many years, Israel's growing success nevertheless did not translate into widespread acceptance in the Middle East, but even that may be changing. The Abraham Accords...Read More |
On August 1, 2022, the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine issued its 76th report to the UN. Seventy-sixth report of the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine In paragraph 2 of its resolution 76/77, the General Assembly requested the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine to report to the Assembly as appropriate, but no later than 1 September 2022. The Commission recalls its report of 10 August 2021 (A/76/282) and observes that it has nothing new to report since its submission. The UNCCP was created as part of UN General Assembly Resolution 194 in 1948. It has had nothing to report for over twenty years.
During the 1980s, it still pretended to try to implement UNGA 194. Well, not really: from the 1960s to the 1980s, it pretended that UNGA 194 had only the first part of one paragraph, Paragraph 11, that supposedly gives Palestinians the "right of return" to Israel.
It ignored most of the other part of Paragraph 11, which urged the UN to find permanent homes for Palestinians in other Arab countries: "Instructs the Conciliation Commission to facilitate the repatriation, resettlement...Read More |
Fozi Mozi and Tutti is a hugely popular children's show on YouTube and on digital platforms, with billions of views.
Most of their videos are in Arabic, although they have branched out into English, Turkish, Hindi, Spanish and other languages.
It was founded by Fawzi Saeid, who calls himself a Palestinian on his LinkedIn page.
The characters have played to large audiences worldwide - and even went to Gaza recently to perform for children there. Fozi Mozi is a true Arab success story.
But the Ultrapal news site has uncovered some shocking news - Fozi Mozi is partially owned by Mememe Studios which is owned by Dori Media which was founded by Nadav Palti - an Israeli Jew! Horrors!
Naturally Ultrapal discovered that Palti was in the IDF decades ago.
The partnership between Saied and Israeli distributors is not surprising and it is probably the reason for Fozi Mozi's success. Fawzi Saeid is almost certainly...Read More |
