| Do Palestinians suffer from mass histrionic personality disorder?noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 20 Apr 04:45 AM Times of Israel reports: An Israeli | | Times of Israel reports: An Israeli bus driver reported coming under fire near the Tapuah Junction in the northern West Bank on Wednesday night, with medics clarifying that no one was injured in the incident. The Israel Defense Forces said it was investigating the attack. Over the past year, several buses have come under fire by Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank. According to the Samaria Regional Council, the bus was fired at while driving between the settlement of Migdalim and the Tapuah Junction. It was unclear if there were any passengers on the bus at the time. Images from the scene showed several bullet holes on the bus's body, including one that penetrated through, next to a passenger seat. It is an unfortunate fact of life that events like this do not get much attention in Western media - because no one was injured or killed. The outrageousness that a bus going through its route can be routinely shot at by Palestinians, and it requires bullet proofing to protect its passengers, is simply part of the landscape for Israelis. But while western media ignores this story as not being newsworthy, and Israeli media reports it but shrugs it off, Arabic media is making this into a big story...Read More |
From Ian: Irwin Cotler: Yom HaShoah: The imperative to remember, the call to act This year's Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day is a particularly poignant historical moment of remembrance and reminder, of bearing witness, of learning and acting upon the universal lessons of history and the Holocaust. I write in the aftermath of the 90th anniversary of the establishment in 1933 by the Democratic Government of Germany of the infamous Dachau concentration camp – the forerunner of the deportation to Dachau of thousands during Kristallnacht – reminding us that antisemitism is toxic to democracy, an assault on our common humanity, and as we've learned only too painfully and too well that while it begins with Jews, it doesn't end with Jews. I write also in the aftermath of the oft-ignored (if it is even known at all) 81st anniversary of the Wannsee Conference of January 20, 1942, convened by the Nazi leadership to address "The Final Solution to the Jewish Question." This blueprint for the annihilation of European Jewry was met with indifference and inaction from the international bystander community. I write also on the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the most heroic Jewish and civilian uprising during the Holocaust, which followed the deportation of 300,000 Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto to the death camp Auschwitz-Treblinka in 1942. There is a straight line between...Read More |
I want to talk about Noa Tishby. But not for too long. Because
she doesn't deserve that much attention and her story doesn't deserve that much
air. Noa Tishby is an actress who used an official platform, granted
her by an Israeli prime minister, Yair Lapid, to blacken the name of the State
of Israel in the public sphere. She did so by writing a damning, nay treasonous
article about the Netanyahu government in Ynet. From the JNS: Last month, Tishby wrote in a Hebrew-language article in
Ynet of the reform initiative, "I will say it in the sharpest and clearest way:
Diaspora Jewry and Israel's supporters in the world are shocked. They are
shocked. "With great pain they look and see how the country they
fiercely defended—in Congress, in the media, on the networks or in front of
foreign—is changing its face." This is "not a reform, but a coup," she added. Noa Tishby is entitled to her opinions, but not to air them.
Because her
as "first-ever Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization"
was to a diplomatic position. She was/is supposed to be speaking well of the democratically
elected government of the Jewish State not only for the duration of her tenure
as envoy, but forever after. Once a diplomat, always a diplomat. To be or do
anything else is more than just bad form—it's to betray your...Read More |

From Ian: JPost Editorial: Francesca Albanese must be fired from the UN As deadly Palestinian terrorism against Israelis continues unabated, some have tried to justify the attacks – and some have gone even further. In a stunning exercise in victim blaming, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese has denied that the country has the right to defend itself against Palestinian terrorism. "Israel has a right to defend itself, but can't claim it when it comes to the people it oppresses [or] whose land it colonizes," she tweeted on April 8. Her grotesque tweet came in the wake of the murder of a British-Israeli mother and her two daughters. Lucy, 48, Maia, 20 and Rina Dee, 15, were killed in a shooting attack near the Hamra Junction in the Jordan Valley as they drove to Tiberias on April 7 during the Passover holiday. Later the same day, a 35-year-old Italian tourist, Alessandro Parini, was murdered in a car-ramming attack in Tel Aviv. Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli on Friday called for Albanese's dismissal. In his letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Dr. Volker Türk, Chikli wrote that the UN "is failing to uphold its own commitment to protect fundamental human rights for all and to apply equal treatment of all its member states by allowing Ms. Albanese to continue to spew hatred, antisemitism...Read More |
If the Star of David on Israel's flag upsets you but the crescent, crosses and other religious symbols on more than 60 other flags doesn't bother you...you just might be an antisemite. If you think that 21 Arab states isn't enough, and 1 Jewish state is too many, you just might be an antisemite. If you show more sympathy towards the person who stabbed the Jew than for the Jew he stabbed, you just might be an antisemite. If you have to jump through hoops to pretend to find apartheid in the Jewish state while ignoring everywhere it really is, you just might be an antisemite. If every terrible event in world history prompts you to compare it with Israeli actions, you just might be an antisemite. If you believe that the Palestinian Arabs, who never thought of themselves as a people until the mid-20th century, have more of a claim to nationhood than Jews who have been a nation for 3000 years, you just might be an antisemite. If you think that Zionism is racist, but Palestinian Arab nationalism is justice, you just might be an antisemite. If you claim that Zionism is incompatible with feminism, but have nothing bad to say about Islamism, you just might be an antisemite. If Saudi ties to Israel upset you more than Saudi ties to Osama bin Laden did in 2001, you just might be an antisemite. If the only democracy you want to see in the Middle East is one rigged for Jews to be in the minority, you just might be an antisemite. If the only refugees from the 1940s that you insist...Read More |
The Palestinian Press Agency Safa has an article whose own facts contradict its narrative. It is a good example of how media makes up a narrative and then pretends that even the facts that contradict it really support it. With the approach of Eid Al-Fitr, the markets of the occupied city of Jerusalem are witnessing an active commercial movement, as a result of the revival of religious tourism, and the increase in the number of Palestinians, Christians, and tourists coming to the city, despite the continuous Israeli occupation attempts to stifle the Jerusalem economy. And everyone who wanders in the markets of the Old City finds it crowded with shoppers, to buy Eid supplies and souvenirs from its shops, after it suffered from a commercial and economic stagnation, due to the occupation measures and its strict restrictions on the arrival of Palestinians to the occupied city. Jerusalemite merchants are eagerly awaiting holidays and religious events in order to compensate for their losses that they incur due to the blockade and occupation measures, which aim to hit their commercial interests and increase the poverty rate in Jerusalem. So Israel wants to hurt these Arab...Read More |
