UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese again says that Jews do not deserve human rightsnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Apr 04:45 AM There was a most int Like   Tweet   UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese again says that Jews do not deserve human rights noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Apr 04:45 AM There was a most interesting communication between Israel's Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli and Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian territories. Albanese had recently tweeted that "Israel has a right to defend itself, but can't claim it when it comes to the people it oppresses/whose lands it colonizes." The clear implication is that Jews who are killed by Palestinians have no right to self defense as long as the murderers can claim that they are oppressed by Israel. Chikli wrote a pointed and detailed response to the UN, demanding that Albanese be fired. Over 3000 years ago, the moral imperative not to kill was established as the most fundamental commandment given to humanity within the framework of the Ten Commandments - one of the most authentic human rights charter. Throughout history, the importance of the right to life and the prohibition of murder have been developed by philosophers such as John Locke, and has been incorporated into many official documents. One of the most prominent milestones in this context is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, whose Article 3 declares that ''Everyone has the Right to life, liberty and security of person." Against the background of this long process of establishing the universal right to life for all individuals, I am...Read More Central Council of Palestinians in Germany caught displaying "Protocols" in shop window noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 Apr 02:30 PM From Juedische Allgemeine (Germany): The Central Council of Palestinians in Germany has apologized for displaying a copy of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion". The book had been in the shop window of the Central Council's association center in Berlin-Schoeneberg, where it was photographed by employees of the Jewish Forum for Democracy and Against Anti-Semitism. When asked by the Jewish General, the Central Council of the Palestinians declared: "This display was a mistake." We apologize for that. "The book was disposed of." The organization is "a non-profit association that does not pursue any political purposes" and "only promotes culture and art". The club also said on Twitter that they "resolutely reject" the protocols and "expressly distance themselves from this atrocity". The organization explained the incident as follows: "We are constantly receiving donations in the form of books for our library. The newest ones are then displayed. This book was interpreted by someone who cannot even read Arabic." And if you believe that one.... Here's this edition of the book, which is sold today at a UAE book chain called Magrudy's: The Arabic...Read More 04/16 Links: Israel's Worst Mistake; Anti-Zionism as a prerequisite for antisemitism; All About the Benjamin; 80 years of renewed Jewish life in Gush Etzion celebrated noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 16 Apr 12:00 PM From Ian: Israel's Worst Mistake We are fast approaching Sept. 13, 2023, which will mark 30 years since the Oslo Accords were signed on the White House lawn under the auspices of then-President Bill Clinton. It was one of the worst mistakes Israel has made over its 75 years of statehood. The Accords elevated arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat into a statesman, but he never changed his stripes. Israel has suffered immensely since Arafat and his minions were given diplomatic status and legitimized. Since the Oslo Accords were signed, at least 1,661 Israelis have been murdered in terror attacks. Many more have been wounded. Sixty-four Americans have been killed by Palestinian terrorists as well. Not a whisper from the State Department. The Oslo Accords were by no means accepted by a clear majority of Israelis. Shimon Peres convinced two members of the right-wing Tzomet Party, Gonen Segev and Alex Goldfarb, to vote for the Accords. They were given ministerial positions in return. Had Segev and Goldfarb voted with the rest of their party, the Oslo Accords would have never come to be. The Tzomet Party was led by true right-winger Rafael Eitan and how Segev and Goldfarb could have broken ranks still troubles me 30 years later. Israelis by and large see the Oslo Accords as a mistake, but Israel continues to fall prey to the same type of thinking that brought them into existence. Giving guns to terrorists is always...Read More Seth Frantzman points out the hate behind the Foreign Affairs "one state" article noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 Apr 10:00 AM This Twitter thread by Seth Frantzman is too important to leave to Twitter alone._____________________________________________________________________ It was interesting to once again read an article about "one state" and see how it relies on the same false premises as the previous recent claims regarding this at HRW, Amnesty, etc; very similar language employed to advance the theory The key sentence to always look for is "river to the sea" which is a classic far-right extreme national Palestinian talking point that has always asserted that Palestine must be "river to the sea" to remove Israel from the map This is important because the "river to the sea" is not a policy Israel has pushed, it's solely a talking point historically of Palestinian extreme nationalism. And it's all about Gaza. The key focus is always to force Israel to reoccupy Gaza It's important to always be keyed into what is going on in these articles. Israel withdrew from Gaza but the goal of the "River to sea" Hamas movement and extreme nationalists was always to continue to define Gaza as "occupied" This was a lesson of the withdrawal. It didn't matter if Israel withdrew and kept withdrawing, because it would always be defined as "occupying" so as to keep the "River to sea" narrative. It's an important phrase to look for, because when we hear "one state" this is never about a one state of equality, this is solely about creating one...Read More The BBC promotes the new antisemitism noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 Apr 07:39 AM The BBC's latest article on Christians in Jerusalem is a classic example of how antisemitism has been mainstreamed in today's "civilized" world. The title is "Jerusalem Christians say attacks on the rise." Walking in the footsteps of Jesus, huge crowds of Christian pilgrims have this month thronged Jerusalem's ancient streets where the Easter story unfolded. "It's very emotional, I already cried a little," says Marina, who is visiting from Belgrade and joined the Orthodox Good Friday procession carrying a wooden cross. "It's something you have to feel to be here." Local Christians also stand out as they join the devotions, with Palestinian and Armenian scout groups leading religious processions. But in recent months, Christians living in the occupied East of the city say they have seen increased harassment and violence. The first crime of omission is the biggest. Palestinian Christians belong to the most extreme doctrinal antisemitic churches in the world. The Greek Melkite Church and the Greek Orthodox Church, which make up the majority of Jerusalem's Christians, still hold on to the classic Christian supersessionist philosophy that regards Judaism itself as...Read More    ©2023 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
