From Ian: Terror-supporting NGO advises Facebook on Israel content moderation Organizations that celebrated terrorist attacks against Israelis and support boycotting Israel have advised Meta, Facebook's parent company, on its content moderation regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A report from NGO Monitor, which researches the activities and funding of organizations active in relation to the conflict and Israel, found that Meta and BSR, a company hired to evaluate its policies, had extensive interactions – regarding making decisions about what constitutes incitement against Israel – with organizations such as Human Rights Watch and 7amleh (pronounced "hamleh") that have documented histories of anti-Israel campaigning. The result is a report by BSR recommending, among other things, that more leeway be given for posts praising the terrorist group Hamas. Emi Palmor, former Justice Ministry director-general and the only Israeli on Meta's 18-member Oversight Board – which is meant to be the company's "supreme court" – said "there is no doubt [that Israelis'] voices are not heard," in part because pro-Israel organizations and figures don't take part in the process even when they are invited to do so. HRW and 7amleh, however, are well organized in the effort to influence Meta, leading an effort accusing the social media...Read More |
Sisters Millea Kenin, Director of Returning Home, (right) and Chanah Ella Kenin, who stars as Eliana (left).
Returning Home is a
short film depiction of what it is like to be an American Olah or immigrant to
Israel, as a teenager. The challenges are specific. Teen Olim may have a
close-knit group of friends they were forced to leave behind in the States,
perhaps friends they grew up with. Teenage immigrants may feel alienated from
their new, Hebrew-speaking classmates and by Israeli teen culture, in general. Language
is often a problem. And sometimes, the choice to come live in Israel is not
made by teenage Olim, but by their parents. Basically, teenage aliyah is teenage angst on steroids. Millea Kenin, a senior at Oriyah High School in Gush Etzion,
made aliyah from Berkeley, California in 2019. At Oriyah, Kenin had the
opportunity to choose filmmaking as her study track. The teenager attended film
classes for three years, learning to make music videos, short films, and more. As part of the curriculum for the Oriyah film elective, Millea
Kenin directed the short movie, Returning
Home, written and created by her and three of her classmates. Being in
their senior year, the film was the students' final project for the program.
(Names of the full production crew are in the youtube video description, in
Hebrew.) Asked if Returning
Home was based on the Berkeley teen's personal Aliyah journey, Millea said,
"The film was inspired by some of my own experiences, but isn't specific...Read More |
From Ian: Caroline Glick: Israeli power is the foundation for regional peace In all cases, the Arab states that have made formal peace deals with Israel in the past did so because Israel had something to give them. With both the Abraham Accords and Israel's peace treaties with Jordan and Egypt, by making peace with Israel, the Arab states received better ties with the United States. Today, the Biden administration is moved far more by its domestic constituents who are hostile to Israel than by U.S. strategic interests as those were understood by the United States until the Obama administration. As a result, the Biden administration is adopting policies that are hostile to both Israel and Saudi Arabia, and to peace between them. Biden's refusal to date to host Netanyahu at the White House is a graphic demonstration of his administration's hostile bent. Netanyahu cannot deliver the concessions Washington is demanding. If he accepts the U.S./Saudi demand to give the Palestinians security powers in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem that Israel holds, Israel will undermine its national security and endanger its national interests. If Netanyahu agrees to cancel his efforts to reform the legal system, he will destabilize his government. Moreover, given the current anti-Saudi bent among Democrats, Netanyahu will be hard-pressed to persuade Biden to agree to MBS's demands. To foster peace with Saudi Arabia, Israel has to do what...Read More |
I was reminded of a famous Midrash:
A certain Jew passed before Hadrian and greeted him. [Hadrian] asked him: 'Who are you?' He said to him: 'A Jew.' He said to him: 'Is there a Jew who passes before Hadrian and greets him?' [Hadrian] said [to his men]: 'Go and behead him.' Another [Jew] passed, who saw what had befallen the one who preceded him, and he did not greet him. [Hadrian] asked him: 'Who are you?' He said to him: 'A Jew.' He said to him: 'Is there a Jew who passes before Hadrian and does not greet him?' [Hadrian] said to [his men]: 'Go and behead him.' His advisers said to him: 'We do not understand these actions that you are performing. One who greets you is executed and one who does not greet you is executed?' He said to them: 'Do you seek to advise me how I am supposed to execute my enemies?' Today as well, Israel is considered guilty no matter what it does - and the justifications come later. The only difference is that today Hadrian would have a team of lawyers and academics who would write reports and papers explaining from a human rights perspective why a Jew greeting the emperor deserves the death penalty. And then they would write another set of reports and papers describing why a Jew not greeting him is a grave violation of the law as well and must be executed. And Hadrian would have another set of publicity...Read More |
The biography of Mohammed Najib says he "a journalist, war correspondent and defense analyst based in Ramallah, Palestine. He reports and writes on the Middle East region for leading newspapers and journals like The Jerusalem Post, Yomiuri Shimbon, Le Monde, Special Operations Report, the Wall Street Journal and Jane's Information Group."
He is a Palestinian based in Ramallah.
Judging from this article in the Saudi-based Arab News, he has no business pretending to be any kind of journalist. The article is filled with absolute lies and Palestinian propaganda.Palestinians are outraged by the Israeli government's move to hold a weekly Cabinet meeting on May 21 inside the tunnels it has dug under Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israel has not dug a single tunnel underneath the Temple Mount or under the mosque. All the tunnels that archaeologists have uncovered and excavated are adjacent to the Mount, or stretch hundreds of meters away from it. For decades, Israel has been excavating under Al-Aqsa as part of a vague, historically motivated search for "Solomon's Temple" in an attempt to justify the occupation through archeology.However, after years of digging, Israelis, who claim they can trace their heritage to the land of Palestine, have found nothing linking their history to the Al-Aqsa region. The only people who have excavated underneath the Temple Mount since...Read More |
