Egyptian newspaper publishes TWO articles saying Jews drink gentile blood on Passover

Egypt's Misrelgdida ("New Egypt") newspaper features not one but two articles on Tuesday that promote the libel that Jews drink Christian - and Muslim - blood on Passover. The first one is written by a Palestinian Arab, Mennat al-Sayed. He gives a "history" of Passover blood rituals that, he claims, continues, at least in some form, to this day against Arabs. In the past, al-Sayed says , Christian neighbors of Jews were scared of the holiday...

From Ian: New Research Sheds Light on Nazi Influence in Arab World The Mufti was the most prominent Arab figure to support the Nazis, but he was not alone. “My research tracks the effort by the Germans, Italians, and Japanese to spread their propaganda and influence in Palestine and various Arab countries,” said Dr. Cohen, who was born and raised in Beirut and immigrated to Israel in 1995. “They worked hard at it and, to a significant extent, they...

How fanatic are Palestinian Muslims? Pew survey says - VERY.

Select results from a new Pew survey of Muslims worldwide show that Palestinian Muslims are among the most religiously conservative and intolerant of all Muslim-majority countries. Many of the questions showed that Palestinian Muslims rated behind only Afghanistan, Iraq and sometimes a handful of others in their levels of fanaticism. Here are some of the survey questions with how Palestinian Muslims answered: Please tell me if you completely...

Not a single denunciation of terror attack in Arabic

When Israel haters need to find an easy "proof" that Jews and Zionists are racists, they go to Facebook or YouTube or any other uncensored comment forum and find some convenient anti-Arab or anti-Muslim bigot to quote. It is a lazy way to pretend to make a point, because every group has some idiots so the existence of idiots is used to generalize about the entire group. They ignore the denunciations of the bigots on those same forums, because that...

In details of the incident, an "open day" to celebrate the anniversary of the University's founding...

I love it when posts write themselves: An Iranian regime official and a website close to the regime have recently accused the Jews of engaging in sorcery and of employing it against Iran.

The Jew that Sheikh Qaradawi couldn't stand to be near

I noted last week that Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, influential Muslim preacher and terror supporter, refused to attend the 10th annual Doha Conference for Interfaith Dialogue" because he did not want to share the stage with Jews, who he blames for "usurping Palestine." So who is the Jew who he snubbed? Apparently, the only Jew to attend this conference - and he has attended it for years - is Reuven Firestone, a left wing reform rabbi, professor of...

From YNet: A 31-year-old Israeli man was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist Tuesday morning at a bus stop at the Tapuach Junction in the northern West Bank.

From Ian: Boston bombers and 'liberal' cringe Obviously, neither the Jews nor the American far right were responsible for the Boston marathon bombings, as some Middle-Eastern media outlets have hilariously claimed. In the West, blaming the Jews can be a sign of paranoia, but coming from the Middle-East, it’s usually a cynical tactic to appeal to those same Western paranoid types. Judging by some British reporting of the Boston terrorist attack,...

This past weekend Jews from throughout the world descended to Djerba, Tunisia for an annual pilgrimage festival to the ancient El Ghriba synagogue there. Tunisian authorities pulled out all the stops to ensure that the event would not be marred by violence or terror attacks. Tourism is an important part of the Tunisian economy, and tourists are skittish about visiting in...

Ha'aretz allows antisemitic comments on its Facebook page

For the past nine days, on Ha'aretz' Facebook page, you can see comments like: I recall 100 million Christians being killed last century by Jewish Bolshiveks Maybe you also forgot about the Armenian Holocaust in 1915? The event the coined the term "genocide" The 1.5 million who were slaughtered by the "Young Turks" who in fact were all Crypto-Donmeh Jews. Heil Hitler, I wish he was still around! At least Israel would have not existed. Granted,...

If only we understood their motivations, we can soothe their anger...

I noticed today that Avi Issacharoff, one of Ha'aretz' few remaining good reporters, now writes for Times of Israel. Curious as to when his last article for Ha'aretz was, I looked at Google News and found this: But clicking on the link one finds that Issacharoff's name has been scrubbed from the article! Classy! Far from acting like the "New York Times of Israel,"...

Hamas and Fatah "unity" sham goes on - and Fatah leaders get bombed

Hamas and Fatah are still trying to negotiate a framework for negotiating a way for them to have meetings that are meant to lead to more talks to give gullible observers the pretense that they are interested in unification. The latest is that some mid-level members of Hamas and Fatah will meet in Cairo to discuss the composition of an interim government even though they disagree on whether or when actual elections should take place after the supposed...

"Summer marriages" (Islamic prostitution) booming in Egypt under MB rule

From Now Lebanon: Rich Gulf nationals go to Hawamidiyya, especially during the summer, to contract marriages for a definite period of time in return for a meager amount of money, some of which goes to the broker. The rest goes to the family of a young woman, often a virgin under 18 years of age, so that a rich man about the same age as her father can have sex with her while on vacation in Egypt. During the years before the 2011 revolution, women’s...

More Arabs move to Jewish neighborhoods than vice versa in Jerusalem

The world is up in arms over Jews moving to "East Jerusalem," with countless articles about this "illegal" settlement of Jews in Israel's capital city. But there is a curious silence about Arabs who have been streaming into Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem. Not Arab citizens of Israel, but Arabs from across the Green Line who refuse citizenship but are still moving into the "Jewish" part of the city. Israel's Channel 10 counts 2,537 Jews who moved...
