Latma Issues Call for Help
Latma, the nationalist weekly video satire show, has run out of funds and will go offline at the end of the month, unless new donations make it possible to keep on producing the show.
Latma's chief screenwriter, Tal Gilad, published a Facebook status Sunday in which he denied the rumors that Channel 1 television is about to sign a contract with the show. "The bad guys are already celebrating," he wrote. The channel has been negotiating with Latma for two years, he said, but the negotiations are not serious.
Radical cleric charged with planning attacks against Israel, US
A Jordanian military prosecutor on Sunday filed charges against a radical Muslim preacher suspected of being a key al-Qaida operative in Europe, who had landed in Amman after being deported from Britain.
Abu Qatada, 53, was charged with conspiring to carry out attacks on Americans, Israelis and other Western targets.
Guardian’s former associate foreign editor: I know Abu Qatada – he’s no terrorist.
As we’ve argued previously, the most egregious problem at the Guardian is not, per se, explicitly Judeophobic commentary published by their contributors, but, rather, the insidious moral cover the media group often provides for the most extreme, reactionary Islamist anti-Semites in Europe and the Muslim world. Those unable to summon genuine outrage over an al-Qaeda supporter who sanctions the murder of innocent Jewish children in the name of Islam are – at the very least – morally guilty of abetting the most dangerous manifestations of Jew hatred around the world.
MK: Why is a Terrorist Being Allowed to Visit the Knesset?
In a special request to Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstein, Bayit Yehudi MK Zvulun Kalfa requested that al-Ajrami be barred from the Knesset building.
In a 2009 interview on PA television, al-Ajrami praised arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat as the “master of the resistance to Israel,” and went on to praise several terror attacks against Israel, in which 17 Israelis were murdered.
“It is unthinkable that someone who praises murderers should visit the Knesset as an honored guest,” Kalfa wrote in his letter to Edelstein. “Please do not let al-Ajrami into Israel's lawmaking body,” he added.
IDF Blog: One Year Ago Today: Hezbollah Terror Plot Foiled in Cyprus
Exactly one year ago today, Hezbollah terrorist Hossam Yaakoub was arrested in Cyprus. Trained and financed by Hezbollah, Yaakoub gathered information about Israeli tourists as part of a planned terrorist attack in the country
By July of last year, 24-year-old Hossam Yaakoub had already emerged as an experienced agent for Hezbollah. Yaakoub served for several years as an active member of the terrorist organization, assisting its operations in France and Holland. In Cyprus, he closely tracked the activities of Israeli tourists, gathering information on their travel itineraries, transportation and lodging as part of a planned terror attack.
A Moment Reflection on the Anniversary of 7/7
In their memory and in honour of their being victims, part of a tragically long and growing list of victims of the process that the British media are by and large encouraging the British public to forget, here are the names of the fifty-two, sacrificed against their will by Islamists whose murderous achievements eight years ago today continue to be celebrated in the hate-filled circles which spawned and sent them.
Jewish life in Europe ‘dying a slow death’?
On the other hand, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, said the idea of 150 million European anti-Semites neither surprises nor shocks him.
“I think the statistics that are quoted are alarming; they’re not alarmist. They’re deeply troubling,” he said about Gerstenfeld’s thesis. “If we’re going to be honest with ourselves collectively, the statistics that are quoted are probably closer to the reality than many of us really want to admit.”
BBC’s ‘Talking Movies’ provides platform for BDS activist
It is difficult to imagine that the BBC would elect to describe a member of the EDL or BNP as an ‘English rights activist’ and even more doubtful that it would bother to run an interview with such a person in which he objected to, say, a mixed-race actor playing the part of an Englishman. But Andrew Kadi’s no less archaic and reactionary opinions are nevertheless given BBC airtime and notably, his actual activities are disguised behind the cuddly term “Palestinian rights activist”.
Muslim student in Germany destroys Israeli exhibit
A female Muslim student at the University of Duisburg-Essen ripped down parts of a graphic novel exhibit, which included the work of the internationally known Israeli artist Rutu Modan.
In a commentary in the left-liberal website Taz on Thursday, journalist Pascal Beucker attributed the June 24 attack on the exhibit “to an anti- Israel, if not anti-Semitic, motive.”
German media declined to name the Muslim student.
Alleged Canadian bomber made anti-Semitic statements
One of the suspects in the alleged plot to bomb the British Columbia Legislature had previously made anti-Semitic statements online.
John Stewart Nuttall, 38, wrote in March, “The Jews killed Jesus (they are proud of it),” the Canadian Jewish News reported.
Panama anti-Semitic remarks blasted by Jewish group
A Jewish human rights organization condemned Friday the increasing use of anti-Semitic rhetoric in Panama, specifically regarding the Central American country’s governor’s insult of a Jewish journalist, and a leading newspaper’s publication of a piece which evoked Holocaust imagery as well as Jewish stereotypes.
Israel to sign research accord with Canada
The Association of University Heads of Israel is expected to sign an agreement on Monday with The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada “to facilitate, promote and support international research collaboration between Israeli and Canadian universities.” (h/t Zvi)
Israel’s Mobileye Adds Investors in Potential IPO Prelude
Mobileye NV, a company whose Israeli-developed technology helps stop car accidents, added five investors, including U.S. global asset managers and a Chinese firm, in a $400 million sale of equity that is a step toward an initial public offering.
The transaction valued Amsterdam-based Mobileye at about $1.5 billion and is likely to close in August, the company said in an e-mailed statement today. It didn’t identify the new investors.(h/t Zvi)
Israeli High School Students Win Contest With Robot Wedding
A team of 9th-graders from a high school in Rehovot, Israel, won the RoboCup 2013 international robotics competition in Holland with their robotic re-enactment of a Jewish wedding, returning to Israel on Wednesday night with the first-place trophy.
A cinematic paean to Britain’s Schindler
Winton’s story was revealed in the 1980s thanks to the British “That’s Life” television program, which not only reported on what he had done, but also arranged for a surprise meeting between him and some of the people who owed their lives to him. The television show would never had been made had Winton’s wife not by chance found an old scrapbook containing documents and memorabilia pertaining to the rescue.
The story of this “British Schindler” has traveled far beyond the UK, thanks, in large part, to Slovak film director Matej Minac. He has made three films about Winton, with the latest, “Nicky’s Family,” set to be released in New York and Los Angeles on July 19. While Minac’s first Winton film, “All My Loved Ones” (1999) is a dramatic feature, this new film, like the Emmy Award-winning “Nicholas Winton: The Power of Good” (2002), is a documentary.
