Palestinian media are now treating Kharousha as a hero, and their description of the last time his family saw him before the murder indicates that he may have murdered the Jews for Palestinian Authority money. In his last conversation with his wife before killing Hallel and Yaniv he told her that he was "going to the noon prayer and then looking for a job" that would provide him with a decent living. Palestinians who kill Jews guarantee their families a handsome income for life, far more than the average Palestinian salary. He also intended to die. He had spent some time already in Israeli prisons, most recently a 40-month sentence for planning, along with his son, a shooting attack at an Israeli bus. He told a colleague after his recent release in December that he did not want to return to prison, and he wished for "martyrdom." It seems quite likely that if it wasn't for the "pay for slay" policy of the Palestinian Authority, Kharousha would have had less incentive to kill Jews...Read More 03/07 Links Pt2: Anti-Semitism Runs Rampant at an Australian Literary Festival; NYTs 'Deceitful' Coverage Fuels 'Violent Jew-Hatred,' Puts Jews in Danger; Cori Bush's Anti-Semitic Spiritual Guru noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 07 Mar 06:00 PM From Ian: Anti-Semitism Runs Rampant at an Australian Literary Festival Writers' Week—an annual gathering taking place in the city of Adelaide and considered one of Australia's most prestigious literary events—has this year been marred by the withdrawal of some prominent participants and sponsors. Provoking these withdrawals, above all, is the participation in the festival of the Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa, who has vocally expressed her support for Russia in its war against Ukraine, and called the leader of the latter country "a depraved Zionist." Colin Rubenstein comments: The way organizers of the partly taxpayer-funded Adelaide Writers' Week have been defending extremist invitees . . . offers a prime example of the way anti-Semitism is excused and even defended in "woke" progressive culture, as long as it is conflated with criticism of Israel—especially if the offender is Palestinian. Abulhawa, who [was] flown in to participate in three sessions during the event in early March, has form. She keeps a picture above her desk of the Palestinian terrorist Dalal Mughrabi—one of the perpetrators of the infamous 1978 Coastal Road Massacre, which saw the slaughter of 38 Israeli civilians—and has made social-media posts both calling Israelis "worse than Nazis" and asserting that "It's possible to be Jewish and a Nazi at the same time. It's called Israel," while implying all Israelis...Read More Cartoons for Purim noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 07 Mar 04:00 PM * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

About the identity of our people, their existence and their inalienable national rights. In his speech today, Tuesday, on the occasion of the eighth of March, International Women's Day, His Excellency added that the State of Palestine has taken a number of pioneering steps to enhance women's participation in decision-making institutions, including the approval of their representation by at least 30% in all institutions of the organization, the state and local government bodies. . The President affirmed the continuation of work to promote the right of Palestinian women to participation and equality, pursuant to the Declaration of Independence, the Basic Law and our international obligations. Here is your reminder that the Palestinian Authority signed the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in 2014. So what has Abas accomplished in giving women equal rights since 2014? Here is the last major meeting Abbas chaired, of the Fatah Central Committee, in February: One token woman. Which was probably the same in 2014. Abbas never had any intention to actually help Palestinian women obtain equal rights...Read More 03/07 Links Pt1: How U.S. Ambassador Tom Nides Became Israel's Arsonist-in-Chief; Israel engaging 4 Muslim nations to expand Abraham Accords; IDF kills Palestinian terrorist who murdered Yaniv brothers noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 07 Mar 12:00 PM From Ian: Caroline Glick: How Biden Subverts Israeli Democracy The Movement for Quality Government (MQG) in Israel is the far-left organization at the epicenter of the Israeli left's war against the Netanyahu government. MQG began its current campaign of delegitimization, subversion and demonization immediately after the Netanyahu government was sworn into office on December 29. The next day, MQG petitioned the Supreme Court to prevent Shas leader Aryeh Deri from serving as a minister in the government. There was no legal basis for the petition. But that didn't bother the lawyers at MQG. Like MQG, the Supreme Court justices didn't bother giving a legal basis for their decision.... The justices said Deri's appointment was "unreasonable," and with a stroke of a pen, the court retroactively disenfranchised Shas voters. Building on its success, late last month MQG submitted a new petition asking the justices to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Never mind that the justices have a conflict of interest since it is their powers the government's proposed reforms would check. Never mind that in a bid to prevent politicized judges and prosecutors from overturning the will of the voters, the law explicitly permits prime ministers to serve not only while standing trial, but even if convicted. And never mind that the charges against Netanyahu have fallen apart in Jerusalem District Court. Someone...Read More The crime of "Judaizing" - what's old is new again noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 07 Mar 10:00 AM Times of Israel has an interesting article about how crypto-Jews in Mallorca would continue to celebrate Purim by calling it the "Feast of St. Esther." A brave woman named Ana Cortés admitted to the Church that she was still celebrating Jewish holidays and studying (illegal) Jewish texts. The crypto-Jews of Mallorca paid a heavy price for clinging to their Jewish faith. Pedro Onofro Cortés was burned at the stake. Ana Cortés was sentenced twice for the crime of "Judaizing" or secretly practicing and teaching Judaism, once in 1677 and again in 1688. Indeed, historical works about the Inquisition mention the "Judaizing" charge brought against crypto-Jews. Today, the same term "Judaizing" is still being used as an epithet - when referring to Israel "Judaizing" Judaism's holiest city. Just as it was then, the term is used by antisemites to make it moral crime to keep Jews or the Jewish capital - Jewish. It was an insult then and it is an insult now. And in both cases, it is only antisemites who use the term as an epithet. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

You can expand the illustration above from Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper to get an idea of the revelry. It had jokes and merriment, political spoofs and newspaper parodies, costumes and music, so much so that the poor writer couldn't cover everything. Perhaps the other Academy of Music Purim balls were comparable, although I haven't found any descriptions quite like this. It did seem that the Purim balls nationwide would typically go all night. Those Jews knew how to party! * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon! Or order from your favorite bookseller, using ISBN 9798985708424.
