Mahmoud Abbas' "Nakba Day" UN speech was delusional and antisemitic - but the mainstream media didn't report those partsnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown) Like   Tweet   Mahmoud Abbas' "Nakba Day" UN speech was delusional and antisemitic - but the mainstream media didn't report those parts noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 May 04:45 AM Mahmoud Abbas' speech at the UN for "Nakba Day" included many parts that weren't reported in the official version, meaning that he ad-libbed. And when Abbas ad-libs, he proves that he is an antisemite, a consummate liar and a conspiracy theorist. From JPost: There is no proof of Jewish ties to the area of Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Monday at the United Nations. He mentioned Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mount and its adjacent Western Wall. "They [Israel] dug under al-Aqsa… they dug everywhere, and they could not find anything," Abbas said. ... There is rich archaeological evidence for the Temples that have been found in the Temple Mount Sifting Project and in the City of David, where thousands of clearly Judean artifacts and others have been found. But that sidesteps the real issue: the entire Temple Mount was built by Jews, in sections, from the time of the Biblical kings to the Hasmonean extensions to the Herodian extensions...Read More 05/15 Links Pt2: Why is the UN holding an event denying Israel's right to exist?; Europe-funded NGO supports 'armed struggle' against Israel; Germany's far-right comes to Yad Vashem noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 15 May 05:00 PM From Ian: David Collier: Things you really need to know on 'Nakba Day' The current Nakba narrative is a masterpiece of deception and antisemitic propaganda. The conflict of 1947 – 1949 happened just like we say it did. It was an unnecessary conflict that the Arabs wanted and started because they could not accept Jewish self-rule in any part of British Palestine. Casualties were high on both sides and the fighting was brutal. The Jews declared independence, fought off the invading armies and won the war. It was a war of extermination launched by Arabs to destroy the world's only Jewish state. The Arab 'catastrophe' is that the Jews survived. This is really what their Nakba Day is all about. Nobody should mourn the Arab failure to eradicate the Jews. Everything that they say about the Nakba today – changed as they needed it to evolve. In reality the Nakba myth only expanded in the last few decades, as extremists wanted to make it more difficult to negotiate a settlement over the refugees. This simple explanation – that the Nakba was the Arab failure to destroy Israel – is how the Nakba story was being reported in 1975: That is the advantage with myths – you can just make it all up as you go along. NGO Monitor: NGOs Mark 75 Years of "Nakba" Each year around May 15, the network of anti-Israel non-governmental organizations (NGOs) marks the "Nakba," an Arabic...Read More Mahmoud Abbas spews lies to the UN, as always noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 15 May 03:00 PM Today there was a special "Nakba Day" event at the UN, with special guest liar Mahmoud Abbas! Here is some of what he supposedly said, based on an Arabic Wafa article: In his speech at the United Nations on the anniversary of the catastrophe, today, Monday, the president said that Britain and the United States in particular bear direct political and moral responsibility for the catastrophe of our people, as they are the ones who participated in making our people a victim when they decided to establish and plant another entity in our historical homeland, for special colonial goals. with them. Interesting how he doesn't mention, say, the Soviet Union which voted for partition and recognized Israel. I wonder if it has anything to do with Abbas' KGB background... He formally called on His Excellency to oblige Israel to respect Resolutions 181 of 1947 and 194, or to suspend its membership in the United Nations, especially since it did not fulfill the obligations to accept its membership in the UN organization. The same Resolutions 181 (1947 partition resolution) and 194 (1949) that every Arab nation rejected? Let's get a time machine and undo our mistakes! By the way, 194 says Jerusalem should be an international city. But Abbas wants it to be his capital! Does that mean...Read More Abbas decrees it a crime to deny the "nakba." The decree violates international law. And he's guilty himself! noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 15 May 01:15 PM Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas issued a decree stating that it is a crime to deny the so-called "nakba." The decree states that states that "the Nakba of Palestine is an integral part of the Palestinian national narrative based on historical right and international resolutions, and the denial of the Nakba is a crime punishable by law with imprisonment not exceeding two years, and the competent authorities will prosecute the perpetrators both inside and outside the country." Among the things forbidden to say or write under the decree: \* Questioning some or all of the implications of the Nakba \* Claiming that the Palestinian people left voluntarily and without coercion \* Denying the classification of the nakba crime as a crime against humanity \* Absolving Zionist groups of their responsibility for the crimes \* Denying the role of the British Mandate authority in facilitating the occurrence of the Palestinian Nakba. It turns out...Read More 05/15 Links Pt1: Israel Immediately United in the Face of Palestinian Rocket Fire; IDF Showcased Improved Capabilities, Restored Deterrence; Israel Ceases, The Palestinians Fire noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 15 May 11:00 AM From Ian: Jonathan S. Tobin: Israel Immediately United in the Face of Palestinian Rocket Fire As Israel was subjected to a barrage of over 1,000 rockets fired by Gaza-based Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Israelis pulled together, united behind their government, and carried on with normal life as much as possible. The resilience of Israelis in the face of challenges that might break other people is one of the most remarkable aspects of life in the Jewish state. This past week's events demonstrate that the vast majority of Israelis are able to rise above their differences and present a fairly united front against people trying to kill them. The contrast between the Israeli and Palestinian casualties is depicted as the result of a disproportionate IDF response to the rockets. Yet what it really shows is the difference between the two sides' priorities. In Gaza there are plenty of bomb shelters (underneath the entire Strip lies a massive network of tunnels and fortified strongholds used for terrorist purposes), but they are used as weapon storage facilities for the people firing them. Israel has prioritized the defense of its people with both defense systems and mandatory bomb shelters. Americans should be inspired by Israel's resolution in defending its people against those who seek their deaths, as well as by the ability of Israelis to temporarily put their differences aside in the face...Read More Why aren't people talking about the epidemic of Palestinian "suicide by IDF"? noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 15 May 09:20 AM On Saturday, there was an incident that is depressingly familiar: A Palestinian man who allegedly attempted to stab Border Police officers at a checkpoint in the northern West Bank was shot dead on Saturday afternoon. A Border Police spokesman said the suspect ran toward the checkpoint near the settlement of Shaked, known as "checkpoint 300," while brandishing a knife. "Border Police troops operating at the crossing fired at the terrorist and neutralized him," the spokesman said. The Palestinian Authority Health Ministry identified the man as 33-year-old Ahmed Muhammad Atatreh, and said he had died of his wounds. "Lone wolf" stabbing and car ramming attempts that result in the death of the attackers happen about once a week; there have been at least 13 of them this year. But the perpetrators of these attacks have different demographics than the Palestinian terrorists killed in arrest raids. They are usually older, often with families of their own, and they are sometimes women. These incidents happen often enough that the attackers know very well what is going to happen. The soldiers they attack will almost never be injured...Read More Staged Gaza rubble pictures, 2023 edition noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 15 May 07:00 AM As with every incident involving Gaza airstrikes, no matter how limited it was against civilian structures, Gaza's photographers are eager to stage photos with old women carefully placed in the midst of rubble. Here, an old woman took a seat for a helpful photographer in the middle of rubble that could seriously injure her if she fell.
