| Antisemitism at Cairo International Book Fairnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 24 Jan 05:45 AM Here is the cover of a book called "History of the Zioni | | Here is the cover of a book called "History of the Zionist Movement and its Organizations," by , being shown at the Cairo International Book Fair this week. Of course.
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement: "We are concerned about the continued presence of signs of antisemitism in Egyptian society, as this is reflected in the books that are published and also presented at the Cairo International Book Fair. We are determined to continue our efforts in strengthening cooperation with our interlocutors In Egypt, in a way that promotes peace, stability and security, and at the same time combating anti-Semitism."
Notably, however, there are a number of books about Jews at the fair that appear to try at least to be real histories of Jews in Egypt.

From Ian: Arsen Ostrovsky: Does Harvard's 'Veritas' apply to Israel? As far back as 2009, Roth's obsession and bias with Israel had become so intolerable, it led to HRW founder Bob Bernstein to publicly excoriate the very organization he founded, writing in the New York Times that, under Roth's leadership, "Human Rights Watch has lost critical perspective." Instead of heeding Bernstein's advice, in the years that followed, Roth's obsession with Israel only intensified, to the point of fixation. Writing for The Guardian, Roth claimed that the initial decision to refuse him a fellowship was due to his "criticism of Israel" and "donor reaction," adding that HRW recognized that "we would never attract donors who wanted to exempt their favorite country from the objective application of international human rights principles. That is the price of respecting principles." Israel of course is not above the law or fair criticism, however, the undeniable fact is that Roth has systematically denied Israel equal treatment, taking his criticism to an obsessive and obscene level, refusing to accept the Jewish state has legitimate security concerns and denying it the same rights as afforded to other democracies. In reversing his decision, Kennedy School Dean Elmendorf said he made an "error" in his initial refusal to appoint Roth, which was not influenced by any donor pressure, but rather had been guided based...Read More |

From Ian: From the River to the Sea, Palestine is already free As Herodotus knew, the Philistines occupied a relatively small portion of the Land of Israel consisting of five city states: Gaza, Ashkelon and Ashdod on the Mediterranean coast, and Gath and Ekron a bit further east. And In fact, the area occupied by the Philistines was collectively termed Philistia. But Herodotus applied the name Palaestina to the entire region he described as being located between Phoenicia in the north and Egypt in the south, and which he referred to as the "land of the circumcised" (which the Philistines notably were not). In short, Herodotus applied the name Palaestina to the entire land of Israel. One would expect that Herodotus had a compelling reason to call the entire Land of Israel by the term "Palaestina". And, indeed, there was a compelling reason, and that reason wonderfully and absolutely confirms the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel. As a historian and geographer, Herodotus was very familiar with the inhabitants of the Land of Israel, and their stories and history. And a key story is that of the Patriarch Jacob wrestling a man/angel all night, before encountering his brother Esau. Jacob emerged from that wrestling match victorious, and the man/angel gave Jacob a new name – Yisrael (Israel) – "because you strove with G-d and man and prevailed", and he blessed Jacob/Israel (Genesis 32:25 – 30). Yisrael/Israel means...Read More |
By Daled Amos There are any number of issues that are raised in an effort to demonize Israel these days. Maybe because there is no shortage of ways to attack the Jewish state, another set of claims are not seen as often. There used to be people claiming to offer Israel some "friendly" advice. They would helpfully suggest that Israel had to change its policies or risk being isolated in the world. These days, of course, we have the Abraham Accords and the Negev Forum that grew out of that. There are alliances that Israel has formed with some countries in the EU, such as Hungary and the Czech Republic, which have prevented EU condemnations of Israel from being unanimous. There is also the growing relationship between India and Israel. A second piece of helpful advice would have it that Israel was in a race against time to make a two-state solution a reality in order to prevent the Jewish State from being overrun by the larger Muslim birth rate. I had not seen this mentioned for a while, till I saw it brought up in a RAND Corporation report from 2021 that warned about: the demographic shift that has been gradually unfolding because the population growth rates of Israeli Arabs and Palestinians have far outpaced Israeli Jews. [p. 2] The report bases...Read More |
Last week, at an impromptu checkpoint, IDF soldiers pulled a young man out of his car. His father, Ahmed Kahla, leaped out of the car (Haaretz' words) towards the soldiers. Fearful that they were being attacked, the soldiers shot the father, killing him. The IDF investigated and determined that lethal force was not necessary, and that the soldiers' stories about what happened - that Kahla tried to grab one of their guns, or tried to stab them - were not accurate.
So far this year, there have been 18 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank. In nearly all of the cases, the person killed was actively involved in hostilities when killed and/or was a member of a terror group. (Given that there are millions of Palestinians and, at most, only several thousand members of terror groups in the West Bank, the chances that terror group members were not involved in hostilities and were coincidentally killed is quite small.)
Here is what most of those killed looked like: Adin Haykin has been keeping track of the deaths and the circumstances/affiliations.
Notice that two of those pictured here are children (#1 and #8.) There have been four child terrorists killed this year, three of them...Read More |
