| Egyptian Greek Orthodox archbishop: Jews crucified Jesus, just as they killed other prophetsnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 31 May 04:45 AM Nicholas | | Nicholas II (Antoniou) is the current Archbishop of Hermopolis and Exarch of Aegyptus Primus, part of the Church of Alexandria, Egypt.
Egyptian newspaper Dostur discusses a recent statement from "His Eminence:" Nicholas Antoniou, the Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Tanta and Gharbia and the church's official spokesperson and agent for Arab affairs, spoke about the role of the Jews in the crucifixion, and their attempt to acquit themselves, claiming that by crucifying Christ they had fulfilled God's will, and had it not been for them, this will would not have been fulfilled, and therefore they are not guilty. He refutes this with Timothy the Catholic: "The Jews did not crucify Christ according to his will, but for the sake of hatred towards him and towards the One who sent him. For this reason they crucified him, that is, in order for him to die and perish on earth. " He also quoted Ammar al-Basri, an Arab Christian writer from the ninth century, who said: "The Jews did not intend to kill Christ deliberately for the good of people, but rather due to their ancient tyranny, their family envy, and their malicious habits of killing God's prophets and saints and his messengers." This is doubly antisemitic. Besides the ancient charge of deicide, the archbishop adds that Jews try to fool Christians into giving them credit for killing Jesus so he could die for their sins. He then adds a dollop of classic Muslim antisemitism that Jews habitually...Read More |
From Ian: Biden's antisemitism strategy not enough to end Jew-hatred We Jews cannot solve this gargantuan age-old problem alone. If we could, antisemitism would have been eradicated long ago. Instead, it is rearing its fury-filled, ugly head, across the United States with frequency. This battle requires the masses to stand up and work together to combat this hatred. Israel's Ambassador to the US Michael Herzog tweeted his appreciation to the Biden administration: "I would like to congratulate the Biden administration for publishing the first-ever national strategy to combat antisemitism. Thank you, @POTUS, for prioritizing the need to confront antisemitism in all its forms. We welcome the re-embracing of @TheIHRA definition which is the gold standard definition of antisemitism. Less than a century after the Holocaust, rising antisemitism in America and across the globe is cause for alarm. This report is an important first step in the long fight against this venomous hate." Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, has said: "As the US Jewish community is experiencing antisemitism at levels not seen in generations, we deeply appreciate that the White House has stepped up and delivered this significant, comprehensive strategy. "It's particularly notable that this approach recognizes that antisemitism is not about politics – it's about principles. We are pleased that this strategy comprehensively addresses...Read More |
Saudi astronauts Ali al-Qarni and Rayyanah Barnawi
Muslim media is discussing how Saudi astronaut Ali Al-Qarni is doing his prayers on the space station.
He made a video saying that he puts his feet in some sort of attachment so he can stand still and try to prostrate himself, although that is very difficult.
But he doesn't say whether he tries to face Mecca - which would be difficult, because the space station travels around the Earth every 90 minutes, and if prayers take ten minutes, Mecca will nto be close to where it was when he began. Nor does he discuss how he calculates prayer times and whether he prays five times every circuit around Earth!
These are similar questions to what Jews have been asking about space flight since Apollo days.
I found a summary from Harvard's Divinity School of the general consensus on these topics, based on a fatwa by Malaysian scholars in 2007:The scholars produced a fatwa, or non-binding Islamic legal opinion, intended to help future Muslim astronauts, which they translated into both Arabic and English...Read More |
The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics announced that in March 2023, the Palestinians exported goods worth nearly $150 million.
87% of those goods went to Israel.
In contrast, "only" 54% of Palestinian imports come from Israel; that used to be much higher.
Now, let's imagine if Israel did what the BDS movement wants to see - and shut off all imports and exports to the territories.
The impact on Israelis would be minimal, since Palestinian trade accounts for less than 1% of all Israeli imports and exports. The impact on the Palestinians would be immediate and drastic.
Which proves yet again that the BDSers don't care about Palestinian welfare. They are willing to fight Israel down to the last Palestinian, and that includes forcing them into poverty - while they themselves use Israeli products and technologies every hour of every day. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

From Ian: Stop the lie: Israel never ethnically cleansed Palestinians Today's Palestinian leaders virtually never acknowledge that Arab communities in 1947-48 who negotiated peace with Israel in advance of the war—and those who remained neutral—were not touched. Abu Ghosh, a town just west of Jerusalem, for instance, reached an agreement with Israeli authorities not to get involved in the fighting. Nazareth also negotiated its neutrality, leaving the city relatively unscathed. Today, these non-combatant cities are part of Israel's thriving Arab community of more than two million—20% of Israel's population. These facts completely disprove the accusation that Israel ethnically cleansed its land of Arabs. Tragically, Palestinian leaders, leaders of other Arab countries and the United Nations continue to perpetuate the misery of the Palestinian people by discouraging them from integrating into the societies of other countries and building new lives. This is exemplified by the fact that every Arab country except Jordan has refused to give its Palestinian refugees citizenship. Today, more than 1.5 million Palestinians still live in squalid refugee camps, where they are fed the false promise that one day they will be able to return to their "homes." Millions more Palestinians the world over still consider themselves refugees, though their displaced parents and grandparents have long passed away...Read More |
There aren't too many things to see in the virtual tour of the Museum of the Palestinian People in Washington DC. But several of the objects on display that show the paperwork behind lifecycle events of Palestinians are interesting - unintentionally. There are two marriage certificates and one birth certificate. Outside of the handwritten description of the father of the baby having a nationality of "Palestinian," none of these documents, issued by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, say anything about Palestine.
There is also a pair of passports issued in 1946. They don't say "Passport of Palestine." They say "British Passport - Palestine" and there is Hebrew inside along with Arabic. This same museum proudly shows a 1938 National Geographic map of the Middle East called "Bible Lands" that uses "Palestine" as a clear English translation of Eretz Yisrael, but the museum considers this "proof" that there was a nation called Palestine. But that is a map that had no official function. Every document in the museum from a government proves that there was no such nation.
Why would a museum of the Palestinian people show paperwork that contradicts the idea of a Palestinian nation? And what happened to the parts of Palestine under Jordanian control in 1949?
Palestinians accuse Israel of erasing their Palestinian nationality from before 1948, but....what about Jordan? We see that Jordan did not call keep any vestige of "Palestine" in the...Read More |
The Guardian reported last week: An investigation into a massacre in a destroyed Palestinian village carried out by Israeli forces in the 1948 war surrounding Israel's creation has identified three possible mass graves beneath a present-day beach resort. Palestinian survivors and historians have long claimed that men living in Tantura, a fishing village of approximately 1,500 people near Haifa, were executed after surrendering to the Alexandroni Brigade and their bodies dumped in a mass grave believed to be located under an area that is now a car park for Dor Beach. Estimates have ranged from 40 to 200 people. In recent years, a growing body of evidence for the Tantura massacre has generated significant controversy in Israel, where atrocities committed by Jewish forces in 1948 remain a highly sensitive subject: an Israeli-made documentary about what happened in the village faced widespread backlash on its release last year. The extensive new investigation by the research agency Forensic Architecture identifies what it says is a second mass grave site in the former village of Tantura, as well as two more possible locations, in the most comprehensive research yet. There is a difference between history and conspiracy theory. In legitimate historical...Read More |
