From Newsweek: Moroccan Arab-language newspaper Al-Watan al-An has published images of French President François Hollande retouched to look like Adolf Hitler, sporting a swastika armband with the headline “the French are reopening Hitler’s concentration camps to exterminate Muslims”.

01/31 Links: Confronting European Anti-Semitism; The Real threat to Jews lies in Middle East

From Ian: Alan Dershowitz: Confronting European Anti-Semitism These variations on the theme of anti-Semitism have several elements in common. First, they tend to engage in some form of Holocaust denial, minimization, glorification or comparative victimization. Second, they exaggerate Jewish power, money and influence. Third, they seek the delegitimation and demonization of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people. Fourth, they impose...

01/30 Links Pt2: The Islamophobia myth; HuffPo's Anti-Semitic Screed on Holocaust Remembrance Day

From Ian: Sarah Honig: The wrong end of a municipal drain-pipe The Charlie Hebdo massacre (as distinct from the subsequent slaughter at the Jewish supermarket) turned the spotlight on Muslim proclivities for righteous rage. Instantly the West’s elected headliners fell over themselves to declare that Islam is a peace-loving religion whose meek adherents only aspire to win a modicum of respect. As part of our urgent re-education and re-immersion...

Ma'an pretends to report some news: An Israeli settler attempted to kidnap an 18-month-old Palestinian toddler in the Jabal al-Mukkabir neighborhood of East Jerusalem on Thursday, witnesses said. The child was reportedly the son of Ghassan Abu Jamal, one of the attackers who killed five Israelis in an attack on a Jerusalem synagogue last November. Who were the witnesses...

01/30 Links Pt1: Glick: Iran - Unafraid and undeterred; Toameh: Why Is Hamas Smiling?

From Ian: Caroline Glick: Iran - Unafraid and undeterred From the Golan Heights to Gaza, from Yemen and Iraq to Latin America to Nantanz and Arak, Iran is boldly advancing its nuclear and imperialist agenda. As Charles Krauthammer noted last Friday, the nations of the Middle East allied with the US are sounding the alarm. Earlier this week, during Obama’s visit with the new Saudi King Salman, he got an earful from the monarch regarding the need...

On Tuesday I mocked an incredibly stupid BDS campaign whose backers honestly thought that Sabra hummus was named after the Sabra and Shatila massacre. The people behind it must have gotten a lot of WTF messages, because they pulled the graphic and gave this hilarious explanation where they don't admit that they are clueless: Ah, it was "misleading." It turns out that...

The Libyan correspondent of Egypt's Albawabh reports that Jews are planning to take over Libyan land. The article claims that Voice of Israel had a guest who was the head of the Jewish community in Libya. He made a secret trip to Triploi to start buying up large parcels of land in the Green Mountain area of eastern Libya. The report says that the lands were originally owned...

Daniel Krause, a 34-year old school teacher from the town of Unna in Germany, called into a radio show on Holocaust Remembrance Day. During the show, he said, "Personally, I'm not interested in Auschwitz at all... Even industrial livestock farming emotionally affects me more." He was suspended from teaching, and officials are trying to get him fired. Dr. Gerd Bollermann...

This article shows what a joke the anti-settlement NGOs are: The Israeli government on Friday published tenders to build 430 new settler homes in the occupied West Bank, the head of an NGO that monitors settlement activity told AFP. "It's the opening of the settlement floodgates," said Daniel Seidemann, head of the Terrestrial Jerusalem group, adding that the announcements...

Iranian Revolutionary Guard website calls for assassination of Netanyahu's sons

Mashregh News is a news website affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. An article published Thursday started off with the obligatory text about how Zionists are cowards. It then urged terror groups like Hezbollah to target Binyamin Netanyahu's sons. The article gives a brief biography of two of Bibi's kids, along with various things they've done that were newsworthy...

01/29 Links Pt2: Israeli deaths glorified at LSE on Holocaust Memorial Day; Nisman buried with AMIA victims

From Ian: Richard Millett: Israeli deaths glorified at LSE on Holocaust Memorial Day. Tuesday was the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau but that same night at the London School of Economics at a joint Palestine Society and Feminist Society event Israelis were portrayed as rapists and those who killed Israelis were applauded. In front of a banner that read “Towards Freedom and Independence the Uprising Continues” a panel of...

Human Rights Watch has released its 2015 World Report, a 650 page document that goes through the human rights records of every country. Here is a chart for how often some nations are named in the report: This gives you an idea of how skewed HRW is when dealing with Israel, placing its importance as a human rights violator somewhere between Syria and Russia. This isn't...

01/29 Links Pt1: PLO tournament named after terrorists who killed 46; Jeffrey Goldberg's libel

From Ian: Is Israel Guilty of War Crimes? It seems that half the world supports demands for Israel to lift its entirely legal weapons and dual-use materials blockade of Gaza, so that Hamas can get down to seriously importing long-range missiles from Iran and its other allies, as well as large quantities of cement to build more terror tunnels. In a recent interview between a Reuters reporter and a Hamas leader, the Hamas official stated openly that...

It turns out that the UN is capable of strong language against Hamas - but only when it is the victim: The United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Process, Robert Serry, has expressed outrage by the assault on the UN premises in Gaza this morning. “During a pre-announced demonstration, of which Hamas was well aware, a number of protestors climbed the perimeter...

B'Tselem released a report on the IDF's policy of striking houses during the Gaza war. The first 36 pages of the report are meant to humanize the victims, in order to prime the reader to think that certainly Israel must be guilty of war crimes. Once B'Tselem greased the wheels, it tries to interpret international law in a biased and incorrect way. The organization admits...

Ron Dermer Why is Israel supposed to be more responsible for upholding US diplomatic protocol than the Speaker of the House? The White House has gleefully used this latest incident as an excuse to escalate tensions with Israel rather than to downplay them. The latest NYT article - based on those famous unnamed sources - is the latest part of this anti-Bibi campaign, and...

01/28 Links Pt2: B’Tselem Adds to the False Gaza War Allegations; Europe's Real "Resistance"

From Ian: NGO Monitor: B’Tselem Adds to the Chorus of False Gaza War Allegations In its report on IDF strikes during the 2014 Gaza conflict, B’Tselem presents a simplistic and distorted political narrative of Israeli guilt and Palestinian victimhood, according to Jerusalem-based research institute NGO Monitor. B’Tselem’s publication follows those of Amnesty International, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, and other investigation NGOs, contributing...

Aboud Dandachi, the Syrian activist living in Istanbul, makes an interesting point about how Europeans should respond to the rising tide of increase in anti-Jewish attacks. Excerpts: On January 27th 2015, commemorations were held world-wide in remembrance of the Holocaust. Seventy years after the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, these remembrances...

Jihad el-Khazen is a writers whose op-eds appear in many major Arab media outlets. In 2006, he wrote something amazing: About a month has passed since I made my suggestion to popularize the term 'Nazi Zionist' and the derivative 'ZioNazi', and readers are still discussing the matter.... What I say about myself is what I said when I put the term forward on September 5, 2006....
