| Newest Palestinian lie: The Jews created the quarters of Jerusalem's Old City, it is all really Muslimnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 21 May 04:45 AM | | The Safa news agency has a news flash: "The Muslim Quarter, the Christian Quarter, the Jewish Quarter, and the Armenian Quarter" are all Hebrew names concocted by the Israeli occupation in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, claiming that there is a "Jewish heritage" in that holy spot, despite the fact that all its buildings and landmarks testify to its Arabism and Islamism. Wow! Before 1967 there was no separate quarters in Jerusalem! This would be big news to Edward Robinson, who wrote in1841: The inhabitants of Jerusalem dwell in separate quarters according to their religion,-Christian, Jewish, and Muhammedan. The Christian quarter extends along the upper or western part of the city, between the Latin convent at the N. W. corner, and the great Armenian convent in the S. W. including also the church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Jewish quarter occupies the northeastern part of Zion, and extends upwards so as to include the greater portion of the hill lying within the walls. The Muhammedans are in the middle and lower parts of the city. And the all the landmarks of Jerusalem being Muslim and Arab would...Read More |
From Ian: Jonathan Tobin: Trashing nationalism isn't a defense of the Jews As with most coverage of the news in Israel or, for that matter, in the United States, the media's bias is obvious. While any evidence of extremism, hate speech or even violent behavior at demonstrations opposing the Netanyahu government's judicial reform legislation is ignored or rationalized, the opposite is true of "Jerusalem Day" celebrations. Most people who oppose judicial reform are peaceful and patriotic, and the same is true for all but a tiny minority of those who wave blue-and-white flags while streaming through Jerusalem. But any bad behavior is always emphasized as emblematic of the true spirit of the nationalist right while depicted as unrepresentative of the political left. The same is true of events in the United States, which is why mainstream outlets could refer to the Black Lives Matter riots that took place in the summer of 2020 as "mostly peaceful," even though they led to deaths, thousands of injured police officers and billions of dollars in damage done to public and private property. Meanwhile, any right-wing protest is always defined by its most extreme participants. As insufferable as such media bias can seem, it is the contempt for nationalism and a willingness to treat any critique of globalism and cultural Marxism as akin to antisemitism that is the real problem in all of these discussions...Read More |
From Ian: Caroline Glick: Soros, antisemitism and the progressive assault on language Soros's Open Society Foundations have given tens of millions of dollars to non-governmental organizations involved in waging political warfare and lawfare against Israel. Soros's groups reject the Jewish state's right to exist and its right to defend itself. They have sought to undermine its relations with foreign governments and subvert its legal system in order to prevent it from enforcing its laws against Palestinian terrorists and Arab Israelis who break the laws of their country. Two Soros-funded organizations, Al-Haq and Al-Mezan, have been identified as fronts for the PFLP terrorist organization. The U.S., the E.U., Canada and Israel all designate the PFLP as a terror group. Israel's Defense Ministry outed Al-Haq and Al-Mezan as PFLP fronts in Oct. 2021. Rather than abandon their support for the terrorist groups, 20 other Soros-funded organizations signed a declaration attacking the government's move. Soros-funded international, U.S., Israeli and Palestinian groups defame Israel and its supporters by, among other things, falsely accusing the Jewish state of "apartheid." They wage economic and cultural warfare against Israel and its Jewish supporters around the world through boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns. Directed against Israel's Jewish supporters abroad, particularly...Read More |

A new survey by YouGov and ArabNews of Palestinians has a result that is quite at odds with other recent polls: Among the highlights of the findings were that more than half (51 percent) said that they saw a two-state solution as the best one to resolve the conflict, followed by 21 percent considering a federal state as the ideal solution. Only 4 percent said that the best solution would be Gaza going to Egypt and the West Bank going to Jordan, with Palestinians carrying either Egyptian or Jordanian passports. This seems quite strange. The most recent PCPSR poll in March found that only 27% of Palestinians supported a two state solution with 71% opposed.
A hint to explain this difference could perhaps be seen in the YouGov methodology: "The survey results were rebased, in line with accepted industry standards, to remove 'don't know' or 'can't say' answers to compare only relevant answers. "
Which means that the respondents had to choose from among the choices given, and if they preferred another answer we don't know about it.
Here were the choices given: What do you think is the best solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict? Accept that Gaza
goes to Egypt and
the West Bank
goes to Jordan, and
Palestinians carry
either Egyptian
or Jordanian
passports - 4%

From Ian: Dore Gold: One state or two: What will Israel's future look like? The latest issue of Foreign Affairs (May-June, 2023) features an article provocatively titled "Israel's one-state reality." Its subtitle gives away its real purpose, for it proposes that it's time to give up on the two-state solution. For years, Foreign Affairs was the flagship of writing on issues related to US foreign policy. It used to serve as a bellwether for where the US foreign policy establishment was heading. For example, in 1947 it published a long cable by foreign service officer George Kennan, on how America was to respond to the challenge of Soviet expansionism at the dawn of the Cold War. The latest Foreign Affairs article essentially presents a false choice for Israel: either the Jewish state should openly embrace the two-state solution or just admit that it is heading for a "one state reality," and may even be there already. The article places those who have reservations about a two-state outcome as "defending colonialist principles in a post-colonial world." This is name-calling dressed up as an intellectual argument. Even so, the article's authors qualified their conclusions about Israel's apartheid, stating: "Israel's system may not technically be apartheid." US administrations have been correct in denying the attempts by some who are trying to force this choice by designating Israel now as an "apartheid state." In October...Read More |
A list of truth bombs
noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 19 May 09:10 AM My Twitter followers have been growing steadily, as I have been gaining over a thousand new ones every month.
A lot of the new ones are there not to learn but to attack, or perhaps to see what the "hasbaristas" are doing so they can come up with responses.
I thought it would only be polite to welcome them with a list of the consistent themes of my writings, truth bombs for those who live in an anti-Israel bubble. I added only a small number of representative links. 1. Anti-Zionism is thinly veiled antisemitism
2. Arab antisemitism is orders of magnitude worse than reported in the media
3. Too many partisans on the Left and Right use antisemitism and Jews as a political football to demonize their enemies but don't really care about Jews
4. Palestinians overwhelmingly support terror attacks on Jews
5. The media presents a...Read More |
Salah al-Bardawil, a member of Hamas' political bureau, made a promise on Wednesday on his Twitter account (translations by Abu Ali Express): The flag march will not take place! Those who dare to knock on the door will receive an answer, and the door of al-Aqsa is not an ordinary door for impure hands to touch. The unruly herd must understand this when the response is heard, and it will come. There is no other option… Then, after the march that he promised would never take place, he changed his tune, in the very next set of tweets: The flag march. The nearsighted, impatient, and historically ignorant individuals are the ones who believe that the Zionist enemy emerged victorious due to their Korah-like march (referring to the biblical Korah, who was swallowed by the earth – Abu Ali). They assume our people and resistance were too feeble to curb their arrogance. Everyone needs to understand that the...Read More |
