11/30 Links: Bloodlust and lies, International "law" as the anti-Zionist Bible, French BDSers Fined

From Ian: Sarah Honig: Bloodlust and lies Thus started the Nazi-financed, three-year Arab revolt – an uprising that was every bit as deformed as the misnamed Arab Spring. Haj-Amin’s ambitious undertaking cost thousands of lives, but paradoxically it fortified the emergent Jewish state, which would achieve independence 12 years later. Haj-Amin wasn’t the odd-man-out. He gave expression to his people’s overwhelming vehemence. Already in 1937 Josef...

From Global Post: From LaLiberte A local deputy from Switzerland's populist Geneva Citizens' Movement (MCG) was excluded from the regional party on Friday for appearing to support the destruction of Israel. Denis Menoud wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday that following Iran's historic nuclear deal with the West, "the key thing is that Israel is on the path to being incinerated." His...

11/29 Links Pt2: The Two-State Delusion, PA: We Stay in Negotiations only to Release Prisoners

From Ian: The Two-State Delusion While Israelis consistently poll in support of a Palestinian state, the reasons for abandoning the idea have multiplied over time. Palestinian nationalism with its malignant and rogue features remains committed to destroying Zionism. The Fatah media and school curricula indoctrinate the Palestinian people and youth to disparage Jews as "evil" and Israel as a "cancer." Palestinian military forces train for the possibility...

From Ian: Bayit Yehudi's Ben-Dahan: Kerry giving legitimacy to terror, not a worthy mediator Bayit Yehudi deputy minister Eli Ben-Dahan lashed out at US Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday night, saying that he had given legitimacy to terror and was not worthy to serve as mediator to Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

Video of Al Qaeda public execution in Syria - of other rebels

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, this video shows an Al Qaeda group in front of a large crowd in Alatareb in the northern Idlib province. The Islamist group, which apparently is from Iraq, executed the leader of a rival, apparently moderate Syrian opposition faction along with six of his men. The crowd is very happy. The execution begins at about 1:38....

WaPo notices the many shortcomings of the Iran nuclear agreement (update)

This is a rather good summary of the problems with the Iranian nuclear deal. The best part, however, is that since it is in the Washington Post, it cannot be ignored by the White House. THE FACT sheet distributed by the Obama administration about the nuclear agreement with Iran is notable for its omissions. The 2,000-word document, like President Obama’s televised statement Saturday night about the deal, stresses Iran’s pledge to cap its enrichment...

Morocco party pushing bill to outlaw "normalization" with Israel

From Bladi.net: Any Moroccans who would visit Israel could receive a sentence ranging from two to five years in prison and a fine ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 euros, according to a proposed bill criminalizing the normalization of relations with Israel. The bill created a strong controversy in Parliament, dividing the political elite and Moroccan organizations defending human rights. Some believe that this "bill is unconstitutional and influenced...

From NYT: There is one picture of Palestinian children studying around a small table by the dim light of gas lamps in the Beach Camp in Gaza, and another of children peeking over a sandy dune, with rows of small, uniform shacks of a desolate refugee camp in the background. In a third, a family walks across the Allenby Bridge, the father carrying two bulging suitcases, a...

From Congress' discussion of declaring a day of thanksgiving in 1789: Elias Boudinot was a delegate from New Jersey; Roger Sherman was a delegate from Connecticut. Roger Sherman naturally associated giving of thanks to the Biblical accounts of the celebrations of thanksgiving at the original dedication of the Temple. Chanukah means "dedication" - celebrating the re-dedication...

Chanukah video post #2: "What Does Your Mom Say?" and "The Thanksgivukkah Anthem" - plus (UPDATED)

Continuing with the series, I need to use up the Thanksgivukah videos by tonight. This is pretty good, although it peters out in the end. This one from Six13 is very, very silly. In a good way. Since Thansgivnukah is almost gone, I have to squeeze in this Funny or Die video, which is really making more fun of absurd movie comedy premises than anything else. If you can't get enough of the combined holiday videos, here are some that are...

Uh-oh. "Iranophobia" has reared its ugly head!

From the ever-funny Iranian FARS news agency: Chairman of Iran’s Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani warned that the Zionist regime is attempting to make Arab countries forget their number one enemy which is Israel itself. The Zionist regime’s propaganda machine has been making hue and cry, since the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in order for the Arabs to forget their number one enemy, Rafsanjani said. He made the remarks...

11/28 Links Pt1: Israel's New Terror Threat Salafi Jihad, EU MEPs Celebrated with released Terrorists

From Ian: Barry Rubin: Tonight I’m Gonna Party Like It’s 19[3]9 Any by the way, the Obama administration did not condemn these vicious anti-Israel statements nor did it alter any policy because of them. Holocaust? Yawn! Meanwhile, the U.S. policy has also hardened Palestinian Arabs’ lines, as shown in statements by leaders. In turn, the Palestinian Arabs have hardened their policy, insulting the United States. Recently, there was a situation in...
