| SF Chronicle takes the side of GoyimTVnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 01 Mar 05:45 AM The San Francisco Chronicle makes it sound as if a Jewish emplo | | The San Francisco Chronicle makes it sound as if a Jewish employer fired a woman out of spite because he disliked her boyfriend's antisemitism.A popular Bay Area yoga instructor was fired over the weekend because of her relationship with a Petaluma man who runs an antisemitic website and organization that the Anti-Defamation League said is responsible for "at least 74 antisemitic propaganda incidents," including recent events in which antisemitic flyers were distributed in the Bay Area. Jeff Renfro, who owns Hella Yoga and Funky Door Yoga in Berkeley and Yoga Hell in Petaluma, told The Chronicle he fired instructor Kelly Johnson over the weekend and terminated an agreement to sell one of the businesses to her because of the involvement of her boyfriend, Jon Minadeo Jr., in Goyim TV, a website that broadcasts antisemitic videos and other antisemitic activities. ...In a phone interview, Johnson told The Chronicle that she does not share her boyfriend's beliefs and that she was hurt by her depiction as a racist. ... In an email to present and past customers, Renfro said he decided to fire Johnson because she seems to share Minadeo's beliefs and had assisted him in his business of hate. He told The Chronicle he found evidence on a computer they shared that Johnson registered Goyim TV as a California corporation. "I am really hurt that they have gone this far to...Read More |
From Ian: Blogger 'Elder of Ziyon' Reveals His Protocols "As long as there have been Jews," the blogger Elder of Ziyon observes in his new book, "there has been Jew-hatred." His new book, "Protocols: Exposing Modern Antisemitism," chronicles the many ways in which the virus of antisemitism has mutated. Elder's blog has been widely acclaimed — and for good reason. In addition to his scoops, his work is consistently well researched, well sourced, and well written. His book, thankfully, is no different. The last several years have seen a renewed interest, both academically and popularly, in the subject of antisemitism. And not without reason — antisemitism has skyrocketed in the West, much of it dressed up as anti-Zionism, a more socially acceptable form of hate. Yet, as Elder makes clear, there is no difference between the two. "People don't hate Israel and Zionism because of Zionist philosophy or Israeli government actions," he observes. Rather, they "hate Israel because it is Jewish." This might seem obvious to some, but regrettably it is far from obvious to our Congressional representatives in the "Squad" or their apologists in the press, among others. As George Orwell once observed, "To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle." And in this, Elder's new book offers an important contribution. The writing is clear and concise, and the arguments are cogently...Read More |
The UN Human Rights Council opened its 49th session today in Geneva where it was decided to hold an urgent debate on Ukraine.
Many high ranking national officials spoke, as they always do. Most spoke about their concern over Ukraine. Many spoke about Covid-19 challenges to human rights (including Spain, Thailand, Moldova,) or worries about nuclear war (Marshall Islands), or other issues of human rights that affect the entire planet.
One, however, ignored everything else happening in the world and stuck to his only theme: Israel is evil and the world is treating Israel too well.
Here is the UN summary of Palestinian foreign minister Riyad Maliki's speech: RIAD AL-MALKI, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the State of Palestine, said every year the international community met to discuss international human rights and international human rights law. But the reality for millions of victims of egregious human rights violations continued to deteriorate, the right to justice continued to be ignored, and the culture of impunity reigned. The reason behind this was double standards. Respect for international human rights and international humanitarian law should be ensured universally. This hall had borne witness to outrageous statements justifying war crimes and crimes against humanity, many committed against the Palestinian people. The Palestinian...Read More |
From Ian: Statement on the War in Ukraine by Scholars of Genocide, Nazism and World War II As we write this, the horror of war is unfolding in Ukraine. The last time Kyiv was under heavy artillery fire and saw tanks in its streets was during World War II. If anyone should know it, it's Vladimir Putin, who is obsessed with the history of that war. Russian propaganda has painted the Ukrainian state as Nazi and fascist ever since Russian special forces first entered Ukraine in 2014, annexing the Crimea and fomenting the conflict in the Donbas, which has smoldered for eight long years. It was propaganda in 2014. It remains propaganda today. This is why we came together: to protest the use of this false and destructive narrative. Among those who have signed the statement below are some of the most accomplished and celebrated scholars of World War II, Nazism, genocide and the Holocaust. If you are a scholar of this history, please consider adding your name to the list. If you are a journalist, you now have a list of experts you can turn to in order to help your readers better understand Russia's war against Ukraine. And if you are a consumer of the news, please share the message of this letter widely. There is no Nazi government for Moscow to root out in Kyiv. There has been no genocide of the Russian people in Ukraine. And Russian troops...Read More |
Bennett Ruda (Daled Amos) wrote a review of my book "Protocols: Exposing Modern Antisemitism" in The Jewish Press that is truly great. Not only because he appears to love my book, which I of course appreciate, but his review captures the essence of my book beautifully. Read his review, and then order the book! (And then write reviews on Amazon!) _______________________________________ In his introduction to his new book, Protocols: Exposing Modern Antisemitism, Elder of Ziyon writes about the reason for the image of Rashi that appears on his website: Rashi earned fame for his encyclopedic knowledge as well as his uncanny ability to explain texts clearly and concisely...He is a role model for my writing... Anyone who is familiar with the Elder of Ziyon website can attest to the breadth of information available there and the clarity with which it is presented. The same is true as well in this new book, based on articles he has written. But make no mistake...Read More |
Emad Moussa writes in The New Arab about how wonderful the Palestinian penchant for chanting at demonstrations is, and he claims that "from the river to the sea" is not at all genocidal, no way: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free": An anti-Semitic Hamas slogan that warrants police action, according to UK's Secretary of State for Education Nadhim Zahawi. A "call to destroy Israel," say pro-Israel groups. But to Palestinians and their supporters, the accusations are politically motivated and unjust. The chant has existed long before Hamas was established and in fact, is as old as the Palestinian struggle against Zionism. It is present in several Palestinian folklore and revolutionary songs and has multiple Arabic derivations, most common of which are: min el-maiyeh lel mayieh (from the water to the water – the wording of which refers to the Mediterranean Sea and the River Jordan). The phrase is deeply cultural and closely related to the formation of Palestinian identity and peoplehood – it emphasises the connection to the land, calls for decolonisation, freedom, and an end to the apartheid regime in Palestine, replaced with a unitary civic state with equal rights for everyone. But in Palestine, as the controversy around the chant indicates, it is hard to separate culture from the political sphere within which it operates. Because this sphere is over-dominant and overarching, it has produced equally dominant cultural expressions and artefacts to challenge the...Read More |
