| Cape Town Jewish community directly threatened by Muslim groupnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 23 May 04:45 AM "People Against Gangsterism and Drugs," | | "People Against Gangsterism and Drugs," PAGAD, started in the 1990s as a primarily Muslim group meant to help the government fight the illegal drug trade in Cape Town, South Africa. Soon, though, they became vigilantes, widely believed to be responsible for a series of bombings and assassinations through the decade - including bombing synagogues. They were eventually labeled a terrorist organization by the South African government.
PAGAD kept a low profile for a couple of decades, but they have re-emerged - and their main targets seem to have changed from drug dealers to Jews.
They just issued this press release (excerpts) People Against Gangsterism & Drugs, Sunday, 21 May 2023
PRESS RELEASE:
PAGAD support the UCT Palestine Solidarity Forum... We, PAGAD, recognize the growing threat of the Zionist community in South Africa and, more specifically, in Cape Town. We are astutely aware that Zionist organizations are becoming increasingly vocal in their celebration of a terrorist, apartheid regime. Recently, our intelligence sector has actively been investigating the Zionist network in South Africa. We reveal that they, like in the Ukraine, are setting up a 'Little Israel' in Cape Town. Zionist criminals who served in the Israeli army (IDF) are roaming our streets freely...Read More |
From Ian: Seeking Jerusalem The prophets command that the Jewish People constantly seek Jerusalem. "This is Zion, whose welfare is sought by none" laments Jeremiah (30:17). "From here we learn the obligation of 'derisha', of seeking the welfare of Jerusalem," teaches the Talmud. Even today, as fortunate guardians of the restored capital of the Jewish people under Israeli sovereignty, there is a great deal of "derisha," seeking, to be done. Firstly, Israelis and Jews everywhere must pay more attention to Jerusalem. To be more involved, to care, to build and develop, never to take for granted. To visit. An astonishingly sad fifty percent of young Israelis visit the national capital for their first time only when drafted into the IDF! Outside of the primary schools and the Bnei Akiva Religious-Zionist youth movement not too many Israelis last week took note of Jerusalem Day, missing an opportunity to step forward and rediscover Israel's historic national lodestone. It is time to make Jerusalem Day a formal civic holiday, like Independence Day. "Derisha" also means imposition of a moral obligation, the requirement to live up to a certain heavenly standard that is implicit in the city of peace. "For Zion shall be redeemed in justice, and her returnees in charity – this is what God seeks of you" (Isaiah 1:27). It must be asked: Are Israelis/Jews sensitive enough in Jerusalem to the plight of the poor, the...Read More |
On Monday, the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that an "extraordinary" meeting of the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation will be held on Wednesday. The topic? "To discuss the Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque." In English, that means that Israel allows Jews to roam respectfully, quietly and freely on the perimeter of the holy site. The statement indicated that the meeting comes "at the request of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the State of Palestine." The ministry stated that it will be held at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on May 24. The "extraordinary" meeting will be for the executive committee of the organization. Those Jews just keep acting like they aren't second-class citizens, meekly following Arab and Muslim dictates. This is unacceptable! * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon! Or order from your favorite bookseller...Read More |

Last week, at the UN, PA president Mahmoud Abbas said that there were no historic Jewish ties to the Temple Mount, falsely claiming that Israeli archaeologists keep looking but cannot find any evidence.
This was an ad-lib; it was not in his prepared speech. One could perhaps dismiss that as a rant of an 87 year old man on the verge of senility. Certainly the world media didn't bother to even report on this absurd claim.
But the much younger, Western-educated prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, Mohammad Shtayyeh, has outdone Abbas at his weekly cabinet meeting today.
In his opening statement, Shtayyeh - who has a doctorate in economics from the University of Sussex - said, "the Israeli occupation's sovereignty over Jerusalem is alleged, and its narrative is forged, not based on history, antiquities, or any scientific or objective input."
The holy city is mentioned hundreds of times in Hebrew scriptures, and thousands of times more in Jewish prayers, poems and rabbinic literature. Jerusalem is one of the central components of Judaism. And, yes, the scientific and historic evidence for Jews living in Jerusalem and for the Temple being on the Temple Mount are overwhelming and irrefutable.
Denying a Jewish connection to Judaism is to deny Judaism itself, and it profoundly antisemitic.
And this is the official policy and...Read More

From Ian: Bassam Tawil: The Real Threat to Al-Aqsa Mosque is From Muslims, Not Jews If anyone has been desecrating al-Aqsa Mosque, it is Muslims who have been rioting and using rocks and fireworks to attack police officers and Jewish visitors. Muslim rioters -- not peaceful Jewish visitors -- are the real threat to the sanctity of the mosque. Israeli authorities have clarified that the route of the "flag parade" absolutely does not include entry into any mosque. Assurances by the Israeli authorities, however, have not stopped Palestinians and other Muslims from spreading fake news and libels against Jews. Iran's terror proxies Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have also used the celebrations in Jerusalem to spread the libel that Jews are planning to "desecrate" al-Aqsa Mosque. As far as Hamas and other Palestinians are concerned, the very presence of Jews at their holy site and in Israel is supposedly a "provocation." Hamas and several terror groups in the Gaza Strip, including Palestinian Islamic Jihad, also repeated the lie that "al-Aqsa Mosque is in danger." When the terror groups talk about "resistance," they are referring to the need for terrorism against Israel, including firing rockets from the Gaza Strip, and attacks by stabbing, shooting and car-ramming. "The people of Palestine have no historical rights to Palestine. They have no right that dates back 2,000, 3,000, or 4...Read More |
By Daled Amos Why haven't CNN and Christiane Amanpour apologized for their obvious misstatement of fact from May 11? A mother and her 2 daughters were gunned down by Palestinian terrorists on April 7. Even granted the squeamishness of the media when it comes to calling out Palestinian terrorism by name, Amanpour's report was outright shocking when she referred to the attack on unarmed women as a "shootout" -- pic.twitter.com/PQUPTfHx5R — HonestReporting (@HonestReporting) May 11, 2023 This takes blaming both sides to a whole new level. And it is even more cringe-worthy considering the pat on the back that Amanpour gave herself in 2016: I learned that as a journalist I could not be morally equivalent and nor could I present false factual equivalence. I insist on being truthful, not neutral. Truthful, not neutral. pic.twitter.com/gJgNwFyvWf — Christiane Amanpour (@amanpour) October 13, 2016 The odd thing is that despite this boast, Amanpour did in fact publicly apologize for her bias in November 2020, after she used a reference to the Holocaust to attack Donald Trump. She started off with a reference to the anniversary of Kristallnacht: It was the Nazis' warning shot across the bow of our human civilization that...Read More |
Jewish Voice for Peace writes on their Facebook page: "The Zionist argument to justify Israel's present occupation of Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history." - Malcom X [sic]
This weekend, we are happy to celebrate prolific civil rights leader and Anti-Zionist, Malcom X [sic], on what would have been his 98th birthday. His last visit to Palestine in 1964 further highlighted the parallels between the plights of Black Americans and Palestinians, inspiring him to write an impassioned letter to the Egyptian Gazette entitled On Zionist Logic. In it, he declared his staunch support for the Palestinian struggle, equating Zionism with colonialism and urging African leaders to rally in support of Palestinians' quest for freedom. The Malcolm X article On Zionist Logic, from September 1964, is a clear example of classic antisemitism. Its first two sentences prove it: The Zionist armies that now occupy Palestine claim their ancient Jewish prophets predicted that in the "last days of this world" their own God would raise them up a "messiah" who would lead...Read More |
