Palmach soldiers
The Palestine Post, February 13, 1948, describes a despicable war crime in Jerusalem that has been all but forgotten. A group of four Haganah members in Jerusalem were arrested by a British Army patrol that was manned by Arabs. Hours later, their bodies were found, riddled with bullets. Their names were Eliyahu Kessler, Shimon Nissani, Naftali Schul and Shalom Leon.
This is really a double war crime. One is that the Arabs effectively used their British army uniforms to perform an illegal attack, and the other one was to slaughter prisoners in custody. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

From Ian: The Truth Behind the Palestinian 'Catastrophe' ON AUGUST 5, 1948, not quite three months after the new state of Israel was invaded by five Arab armies, a short volume titled Maana al-Nakba (later translated as The Meaning of the Disaster) appeared in Beirut to popular acclaim. The author was Constantine K. Zurayk, a distinguished professor of Oriental history and vice president of the American University of Beirut. Zurayk was the wunderkind of the Arab academic world. Born in Damascus in 1909 to a prosperous Greek Orthodox family, he was sent off at 20 to complete his graduate studies in the United States. Within a year he had obtained a master's from the University of Chicago. One year later, he added a Ph.D. in Oriental languages from Princeton. He then returned to Beirut and the American University. Zurayk soon became one of the leading advocates of the liberal, secularist variant of Arab nationalism. After Syria won its independence in 1945, he was chosen to serve in the new nation's first diplomatic mission in Washington, D.C., and also served with the Syrian delegation to the United Nations General Assembly. Zurayk's book reflected the sense of outrage among the Arab educated classes over the 1947 UN partition resolution and the creation of the Jewish state. Zurayk's anger was even more personal, since he had participated in the UN deliberations on the...Read More |
Judicial reform is a hot-button topic right now in Israel, or at least the media wants us to think so. You can practically hear the slavering of journalists on the left as they write their reports. They paint the new right-wing Israeli government as "far-right" and even criminal, and pretend that the "mass" protests are massive. NPR, for example, pretends that the Israeli government wants to reverse Supreme Court decisions: The most controversial element of the proposal would give the government the power to override the Supreme Court and, with a simple majority vote in parliament, re-legislate any law that the Supreme Court strikes down as an unconstitutional infringement on rights and freedoms. In fact, the exact opposite is true. The High Court has the power to override any and every action, law, or decision made by duly elected government officials. Israel has no written constitution, but a set of basic laws with semi-constitutional status. The basic law regulating Israel's judiciary includes a section marked "Judicial review of acts of government - section 15(d)(2)" which states: This section of the Basic Law authorizes the HCJ to order state and local authorities and officials, (including other persons carrying out public functions under law), to act or refrain from acting in the lawful exercise of their functions...Read More |
Inspired by this tweet:
He didn't merely "criticize Israel." He accused a member of Congress of being bought and controlled by the Jewish lobby. This is not the first time that blatant antisemitism was justified as mere "criticism of Israel." And when people like Cavallaro and Ken Roth explain the reasons they didn't get the positions they wanted, the media doesn't bother to wonder - hey, maybe there is a conflict of interest here in the description of the reasons they give. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

From Ian: Yishai Fleisher: Three Muslims and a settler The third Muslim I met on my trip was working at the airport in Houston. I flew in for a tight 15 hours to attend a commemorative hilula gathering in honor of the saintly "Baba Sali"—Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira. Upon landing, I hit a snag: My bag was not coming out of the chute and I really, really did not have time for that. So, I went over to the baggage claim counter and approached a representative named Huma. I asked her about my bag, produced a tag and she started clicking on her keyboard. She announced that it was coming out soon. In the meantime, we got to talking. A middle-aged woman, Huma's accent and look gave away her origins in the Indian subcontinent. I asked her if she was Hindu or Muslim, to which she replied that she was a Muslim from Pakistan. She asked me where I was coming from. I wear a kippa and have a beard and my luggage tags show I fly internationally, so she was not surprised that I was from Israel. But what she said was surprising to me: "I love Israel—I have visited twice!" Warmth entered her eyes as she described the amazing congeniality of the people, how safe she felt and how clean it was. Sadly, Huma told me about her son's Jewish business partner, who before her first trip urged her not to visit Israel. He bizarrely warned her that she would be kicked and spat at in the Jewish state. Both she and I were dismayed at his...Read More |
Here are videos from the TikTok channel of a Palestinian kindergarten showing the kids play-acting being attacked and then attacking Israeli soldiers, and a funeral complete with the "mother" kissing her "martyr" son. And another showing the kids as masked terrorists. This is not the kids play-acting. This is the teachers of a school telling the kids to do these performances - so they grow up to do it in real life. They are depraved. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon! Or order from your favorite bookseller, using ISBN 9798985708424.

Edy Cohen writes in Israel Today: Tunisian Jews are again in the eye of the storm. The arrest of a local Jewish merchant has shaken the peace of the island community of Djerba that dates back to the times of King David. Today there are only about a thousand Jews left in Djerba, a quiet Mediterranean island just off the coast of Tunisia. There is almost no crime or politics on this idyllic refuge, where most of the Jewish residents observe the Sabbath. The event that shocked the Jewish community in Djerba took place on Tuesday of last week, when the police, accompanied by large forces of undercover officers, arrested a 60-year-old Jewish merchant named Mishleh Bitan. According to the authorities, he was accused of smuggling gold. The Jews of Djerba have been dealing in gold for generations and many of them own gold shops on the island. Police planned to apprehend the wife and son of the Jewish merchant, but dozens of Jews showed up to protect the family and physically prevented the arrest. In a conversation I had with a number of Jews in Djerba, it appears that every two or three weeks the police come to the neighborhood and try to harass them under the pretext of hunting smugglers. Sometimes they conduct searches and force the Jews to report their sales and tax statements. Other times the police...Read More |
