| The 1948 Arab peace plan: First destroy Israel, then we'll talk noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 Jun 04:45 AM From AP/Palestine Post, June 17, 1948 | | From AP/Palestine Post, June 17, 1948: This is exactly what the Palestinian leaders have been proposing as well, many decades later. They just couch the destruction of the Jewish state in terms of "right to return" and releasing thousands of terrorists from prison, two of the unwavering demands by the Palestinian Authority leadership since 2000.
The intent has not changed one bit since 1948: their aim remains to abolish the Jewish state. They just learned that if they call the planned ethnic cleansing of Jews from the region "human rights" then they can attract many latent "progressive" antisemites to their position.
Notice there is no hint of compromise for peace.
Also note that they don't say that they want an Arab state there, or anything about the "rights of Palestinians." The number one demand is no Israel, and everything else is secondary.
Those haven't changed in 75 years, either. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon! Or order from your favorite bookseller, using ISBN 9798985708424. Read all about it here! ...Read More |
From Ian: Amnesty's New Israel Report Goes to War with Reality The report singles out three IDF airstrikes that targeted three PIJ commanders who were hiding in densely populated civilian areas. One strike targeted an apartment in a two-story building. Amnesty decries that this attack killed two teenage girls living in a neighboring apartment. With dripping disdain, the report observes that the IDF used a GBU-39 bomb in the strike, a weapon "exported to Israel from the United States." To be clear, the loss of those innocent girls is a tragedy. As are the losses of other innocent Palestinians and Israelis. It's why a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should continue to drive U.S. foreign policy. It's also true that the IDF ground forces have, on occasion, exploited their rules of engagement at excessive cost to civilians. Still, a few other points are also highly relevant here. For one, why is it bad that the U.S. exported the GBU-39 to a close ally? That bomb is especially designed, after all, to limit collateral damage by focusing energy on a limited target radius (hence why Israel likes using it in Gaza — to mitigate risks to civilians). Israel could easily use larger weapons, which offer a higher confidence in mission success. It does not do so because more civilians would be put at more risk. Second, why does Amnesty excuse PIJ commanders for...Read More |

Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory. Check out their Facebook page. Washington, June 15 - The President of the United States donned a frankfurter costume today and declared his administration's determination to figure out who continually provides hundreds of millions of dollars to an organization that exists to keep millions of Palestinians stateless, radicalized, opposed to coexistence with Israel, and raised generation after generation to view violence as the only proper solution to their plight. "We're all trying to find the guy who did this," vowed Joseph R. Biden to all those present in the Oval Office for an update meeting on his decision to fund the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, which provides employment, food, education, and social services for the descendants of Arabs who fled, mostly before Jewish fighter showed up, the British Mandate of Palestine when the establishment of a Jewish state there was imminent. Repeated studies have found that the organization uses educational public awareness materials that deny the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel, deny Jewish origins in the land, foment violence, and cultivate a zero-sum view of the conflict with Israel as resolvable only through total destruction of the Jewish State. "As soon as we have any leads, we will be sure to let the American people know," assured...Read More |
From Ian: JPost Editorial: Israel's record exports can benefit the world in a time marked by instability Israel now plays a pivotal role in aiding the defense of European countries. In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, many nations have become acutely aware of their vulnerability. Finland has already procured Israel's David's Sling system, and Germany is moving forward with acquiring the Arrow-3 system – both developed in collaboration with the United States. This demonstrates the substantial returns on investment gained from the partnership with Washington. Both countries now benefit immensely from the foreign aid provided by the US to Israel: Israeli companies actively collaborate with the US, working together on research and development and expediting the procurement of key systems that save lives in both nations. Simultaneously, Israel is making significant progress in the Abraham Accords countries. The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco have emerged as vital partners, accounting for a quarter of Israel's defense exports. Furthermore, there is a growing recognition in Washington regarding the importance of the accords. Congressional members Ritchie Torres and Mike Lawler have supported legislation to establish a Special Envoy in the State Department, tasked with strengthening and expanding the Abraham Accords. Israel's defense ties and exports serve as a critical component of its strategic relationships...Read More |
There is a new Muslim campaign against the rebuilding of the Tiferet Yisrael synagogue in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, destroyed in 1948, that has been going on for many years now.
As we've seen in the past, the main objection is that it would, together with the Hurva, dominate the skyline of Jerusalem - and make the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa domes look less important.
Pride is everything.
From Safa news agency: Deputy Director of the Islamic Endowments in Jerusalem, Najeh Bakirat, explains that the occupation authorities have conducted many excavations that have extended for many years in the depth of the targeted area to establish the "Jewel of Israel" synagogue in the Old City. Bakirat added, in an interview with Safa agency, that the occupation deliberately erected a tall and huge building to obscure the vision of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, and it is built on land belonging to the Islamic Waqf. According to Bakirat, the occupation government and its municipality seek to create a biblical reality in Jerusalem...Read More |
One of the main arguments that Israel practices "apartheid" against Palestinians is that Arabs in Jerusalem do not get the same quality of municipal services as Jews in Jerusalem - that it is harder for them to get building permits, or that garbage collection is not as consistent as for Jews, or that their rate of poverty is worse than that of Jews in Jerusalem, and other issues.
It's true. And the people most invested in keeping it that way are the Palestinian leaders. Recent stories about Arab participation in the political process in Jerusalem shows that it isn't the Jews who want Jerusalem Arabs to be second class citizens - but Palestinian and Muslim leaders themselves. JNS reports: Inspired by Mansour Abbas, the first member of an independent Arab party to join a governing Israeli coalition, Fatah activists in eastern Jerusalem are throwing their support behind the candidacy of Walid Abu Tiya in the city's municipal election. Originally from Nazareth, Abu Tiya, 62, is a lawyer and former Finance Ministry official who has lived in Jerusalem's southeastern Beit Safafa neighborhood for 44 years. Jerusalem's Arab sector has historically boycotted the city's municipal elections, and no Arab party or individual has ever received enough votes to secure one of the city council's 31 seats. Historically, Arab participation in local elections has been around 5%. "…It is becoming clear that the boycott of the elections...Read More |
