| Antisemitic Grand imam of Al-Azhar tells UN Security Council how to be tolerantnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 15 Jun 04:50 AM Egypt's Grand Imam of | | Egypt's Grand Imam of Al-Azhar mosque, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb, spoke at the UN Security Council Wednesday about the importance of "human fraternity," tolerance and mutual respect in achieving world peace.
The UN summarizes his statement:
Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif and Chairman of the Muslim Council of Elders, rejected claims that Islam is a religion of the sword or war, insisting that war is only acceptable for self-defence. Urging the international community to move away from pointless conflicts, he noted tragedies caused by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Syria, Libya and Yemen, ancient civilizations have been destroyed, and these lands have become battlegrounds forcing their people to flee. Highlighting efforts made by religious leaders to promote human fraternity, he said Al-Azhar Al-Sharif aims to identify shared responsibilities in addressing climate change and the escalating wars. Tayeb actually spoke for about 12 minutes, and even when addressing the UN on tolerance, he proved his own intolerance. As he railed against wars in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan...Read More |
From Ian: United Nations is right to postpone conference on antisemitism if it does not intend to adopt International Definition of Antisemitism A United Nations conference on antisemitism scheduled for next week has been postponed. The conference, due to take place on 20th and 21st June in Spain, was organised to unveil the United Nations Action Plan on Monitoring Antisemitism and Enhancing a System-wide Response. However, in a letter dated 9th June and sent to conference participants, Miguel Moratinos, High Representative for the UN Alliance of Civilisations, who is leading the UN's work on antisemitism, said: "After very careful consideration and aiming to ensure the action plan is inclusive and benefits from the inputs of all stakeholders, I would like to allow more time for further work and finalisation of the plan during summer 2023." The meeting is postponed until September, with no date set. The postponement came amid concerns on the part of the Israeli mission to the UN and Jewish organisations relating to the content of the draft plan. In particular, the draft plan, three years in the making, reportedly gives equal space and weight to the International Definition of Antisemitism, Jerusalem Declaration and the Nexus Document. This is despite the fact that, whereas the Definition has the support...Read More |
A new PCPSR poll was released today asking Palestinians questions about the 75th anniversary of the "nakba" as well as other topics. As always, when given a choice, Palestinians show an overwhelming preference for terror. When asked what was the most positive developments for Palestinians since 1948, 24% said the rise of Islamist terror groups, 21% said the two terror sprees known as intifadas, and 25% said either the establishment of the PLO or Fatah, both of which were explicitly founded as terror groups. Which means that 70% of Palestinians consider terror to be their proudest accomplishment.
71% of the Palestinians polled say they are in favor of forming terror groups such as the "Lions' Den" and the "Jenin Battalion."
The vast majority (86%) says the PA does not have the right to arrest members of terror groups in order to prevent them from carrying out attacks against Israel or to provide them with protection.
The most popular potential presidential candidate is Marwan Barghouti - a terrorist. #2 is Ismail Haniyeh, senior Hamas official - a terrorist. Everyone else received only small percentages.
If new legislative elections were held now, of those who would participate, 34% say they would vote for Hamas and 31% say they would vote for Fatah.
This is not a people who want peace - and it is not a people who are being taught that peace is the best option.
In February...Read More |

From Ian: Abraham Accords special envoy bill passes US House Reflecting the broad, bipartisan nature of political support for the Abraham Accords, the Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords Act passed in the House of Representatives with a vote of 413-13. It now heads to the Senate. The bill calls for the creation of a position that would report to the secretary of state and require extensive experience in Middle East diplomacy and an in-depth understanding of both Jewish and Muslim cultures. Dan Shapiro, the former U.S. ambassador to Israel, is reportedly under consideration. "The addition of a special envoy will be critical for bringing Saudi Arabia into the accords and continuing to strengthen and expand them," stated Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), who sponsored the bill. "We are closer to a lasting, long-term peace in the Middle East than we have ever been." Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), a backer of the bill, stated: "We are working to strengthen and expand the Abraham Accords, support Israel's existing partnerships and increase regional cooperation to counter shared threats." Excellent reminder of how outnumbered anti-Israel voices are in the House of Representatives - todays vote to establish an ambassador position to expand the Abraham Accords succeeded 413-13. A huge bipartisan success. https://t.co/qyFtwnWoVm — Israel War Room (@IsraelWarRoom...Read More |
Arab media didn't have a problem with antisemitism before MEMRI and Palestinian Media Watch started translating their articles into English. One of the earliest translations from MEMRI came from the official Palestinian Authority newspaper Al Hayat al Jadida, in 1998, during the Oslo process(!): Corruption is a Jewish trait worldwide. So much so that one can seldom find corruption that was not masterminded by Jews or that Jews are not responsible for. They are well known for their intense love of money and its accumulation. The way in which they get hold of that money does not interest them in the least. On the contrary - they would use the most basic despicable ways, to realize their aim, so long as those who might be affected were non-Jews. A Jew would cross any line if it were in his interest. ...Since such is their behavior, they have exerted all their efforts into developing evil schemes. They believed that the secret to their survival lay in controlling the economies of the countries that had let them in and sheltered them from being refugees. [They further believed] that the secret lay in conspiracy and abatement of feuds [between non-Jews], so that the non-Jews would be engaged in internal conflict – paving the way for [a Jewish attack]. They concoct scandals that would haunt leaders, letting the Jews take a firm grip and tilting leaders in favor of their interests. A survey...Read More |
This table is from the UNRWA Registered Population Dashboard, showing who receives UNRWA services. We've discussed many times how the UNRWA definition of "refugee" is completely at odds with the official UN definition of refugee, drastically inflating the number of real refugees they raise funds for. They include descendants of refugees that UNHCR would never consider refugees, they include two million Jordanian citizens, they include well over two million Palestinians who are citizens of the Palestinian Authority.
We've seen how their "registered refugee" metric includes hundreds of thousands of people who no longer live in their areas of operation but whom UNRWA still counts as receiving services.
We've seen how hundreds of thousands of today's UNRWA "registered refugees" were not even refugees under their own definition when it started, but UNRWA registered them anyway and today hundreds of thousands of UNRWA's "Palestine refugees" didn't even descend from real refugees in 1948.
But this chart shows even more duplicity.
According to UNRWA, they provide services to over 770...Read More |
