| Abbas: "Commemorating the Nakba must be our highest priority"noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 Apr 04:45 AM Palestinian dictator Mahmoud Abbas gave | | Palestinian dictator Mahmoud Abbas gave a speech to a number of dignitaries during a Ramadan Iftar meal on Saturday night at his presidential headquarters in Ramallah. Part of his message was that the United Nations will officially commemorate for the first time, on May 15, the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Nakba. Abbas said, "Commemorating the Nakba must be at the top of our priorities in order to preserve our narrative, which we must adhere to and convey to the whole world, which has become a shining truth with which we confront all lies and false narratives that attempt to distort history and facts." His regard for truth included his saying "What we witnessed today in terms of attacks on our people celebrating the 'Sabbath of Light' in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in occupied Jerusalem, which was preceded by attacks on worshipers in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the desecration of its courtyards, is something condemned and rejected, and it reveals the falsity of the occupation, which claims to allow freedom of worship in the Holy places." In truth the Israeli police were enforcing agreements with the church officials and the Waqf for both those incidents. The Nakba narrative that Abbas espouses is as false as everything else he says. But he has no disincentive to lie - after...Read More |
From Ian: Meir Y. Soloveichik: The Miracle at 75 In 1949, nine months after the State of Israel was formally recognized by both U.S. President Truman and Soviet Premier Josef Stalin, Britain refused to acknowledge the existence of the first Jewish commonwealth to appear on the earth in 2,000 years. The Labor foreign minister, Ernest Bevin, known for his antipathy to Zionism, refused to consider that a fledgling Jewish state should be of interest when it was opposed by so many countries that seemed to matter more to Britain. In response, the leader of the opposition, Winston Churchill, stood in Parliament and delivered one of his addresses for the ages. He accused Bevin of presentism, of maintaining a stunted historical perspective. "Whether the right honorable gentleman likes it or not," Churchill said, "the coming into being of a Jewish state in Palestine is an event in world history to be viewed in the perspective, not of a generation or a century, but in the perspective of a thousand, two thousand or even three thousand years. That is a standard of temporal values or time-values which seems very much out of accord with the perpetual click-clack of our rapidly changing moods and of the age in which we live. This is an event in world history." Churchill's words are worth bearing in mind as we consider the contretemps over judicial reform in Israel as the nation moves toward the 75th...Read More |
From Ian: Mark Regev: Holocaust Remembrance Day: Did the Allies do enough to help the Jews? The US and the Holocaust America's vital role in the defeat of Nazi Germany is unquestionable and can be readily appreciated firsthand by touring the Normandy beaches of the June 1944, D-Day landings – as I did in 2019 together with my daughter, an IDF officer. Steven Spielberg's epic Saving Private Ryan, which we watched again the night before the voyage from Plymouth to Le Havre, gives cinematic expression to the enormity of the Allied effort and to the immense sacrifice of American blood. Here too my family has a personal debt. Until his death, my father celebrated April 13, the day in 1945 when the US Army's 102nd infantry division entered Uetz and liberated him – in his words, "a very lucky day." But while America was instrumental in the victory over Germany, it is sometimes forgotten that Washington didn't declare war on the Nazis – it was Hitler who declared war on the US. Germany invaded Poland in September 1939; Denmark and Norway in April 1940; Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, and France in May 1940; Yugoslavia and Greece in April 1941; and the Soviet Union in June 1941. All the while, America remained neutral. Although president Franklin Roosevelt backed the Brits in the 1940 Battle of Britain, the US was not a combatant, and to Churchill's great chagrin, London had to pay for Washington's Lend-Lease support. American...Read More |
This is an 1586 map of Israel.
And here is a 1588 map of Jerusalem. Every couple of days the anti-Israel idiots find a map that says "Palestine" and not Israel, pretending that when the mapmakers wrote Palestine, they meant something other than the Land of Israel.
These maps are probably older than the ones they post, so you can respond with these. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon! Or order from your favorite bookseller, using ISBN 9798985708424. Read all about it here! ...Read More |
From Ian: David Collier: Hate in the shadow of a terrorist attack Whenever they occur terrorist attacks are met with global sympathy – except of course when they happen to Jews in Israel. But even for those of us who have become used to the blatant double standards, loaded headlines, and insincere commentary that regularly accompany these tragic events, the raw hate that we saw following the tragic events of last Friday still took us by surprise. The Brutal terrorist attack The Dee family had moved from London to Israel in 2014, and went to live in Efrat, a town situated in the Etzion bloc between Jerusalem and Hebron. The family held dual citizenship, and the father Leo, had once been the Rabbi at the Radlett synagogue in Hertfordshire. On Friday, 7 April 2023, during the Pesach break, the family set off for a holiday to Lake Kinneret. They split into separate cars for the journey. As the car carrying the mother, Lucy and two daughters Maia (20) and Rina (15) reached Hamra Junction, it was attacked by Palestinian terrorists. Once the driver had been injured and the car had crashed, the terrorists walked up to the car and shot all three at point blank range. Maia and Rina were killed immediately. The mother, Lucy died three days later in hospital. The natural response is heartbreak This was a family torn apart in a brutal killing by Palestinian terrorists. Lucy and her two daughters had their lives stolen from them by hate-filled...Read More |
We often see videos of Muslims playing soccer on the Temple Mount, like this one this morning: Here is an imam in Lebanon teaching a student how to play soccer inside a mosque. This generated some controversy at the time, with some Muslims being viscerally upset at the scene, while others defended it.
Is this allowed under Islam?
There are a variety of opinions. Some allow it outright outside of prayer times; some allow physical activity in a mosque only if it can be used to defeat Islam's enemies.
But other fatwa sites are very much against it. Islamquest says: Is it permissible to conduct sports programs in the mosque, such as popular games, wrestling and...? Taking care of the sanctity of mosques and adhering to the time of prayer? Doing these things is not appropriate for mosques. Yes, if the mosque...Read More |
Today is Quds Day, the last Friday of Ramadan, declared by the late Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran in 1979 specifically as an anti-Israel event.
The irony is that Jerusalem is not nearly as important to Shiite Muslims as the Iranians want the world to believe.
A summary of the Shiite attitude towards Jerusalem can be seen in English here, written by a controversial anti-Iranian Shiite cleric from Kuwait who now lives in the UK. We cannot find in the narrations of our Imams (peace be upon them) that much of a special or exceptional significance regarding Jerusalem as much as we find in their narrations regarding the Grand Sacred Mosque, the Prophet's Mosque, the Great Mosque of Kufa or the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him). We cannot even find a single narration about the significance of the mosque of Jerusalem reported by al-Sheikh al-Kulayni (with whom may Allah be pleased) in his book al-Kafi in the chapter that includes the most recommended mosques by our Imams' (peace be upon them). We find, for example, in this chapter narrations that mention the significance of al-Quba Mosque, the Mosque of al-Ahzab, the Mosque of Fadhi'kh, al-Fath Mosque, al-Ghadeer Mosque, the Well of Umm Ibrahim, the Mosque of Sahlah in al-Kufa, the Sacred Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque. Still, there is not a single mention of the Mosque of Jerusalem...Read More |
