Arab anti-Trump Jerusalem protests Iranian anti-government protests Organized top-down by Palestinian leaders Organized bottom up by individuals Anti-America and Israel Anti-Ayatollah Predicted to set the Middle East on fire by experts. They were wrong.  Not predicted by experts at all. Meaningless, could never accomplish anything. US and Israel wouldn't back down. A very big deal, even if violently put down it puts the mullahs...

Twitter has a number of metrics to determine the popularity of tweets (retweets, likes, clicking, and more general "engagement" which adds all of the others up.) But in figuring out my most popular tweets of the year, I'm sticking with retweets. All I have to say is, thanks Linda for helping me out so much! 10. The British Government has officially responded to Arab demand to apologize for the Balfour Declaration: NO.https://t.co/4h4JgwWcdJ...

Haaretz reports: The Likud Central Committee voted Sunday to unanimously accept a resolution that calls on the party's leaders to move to formally annex the West Bank.The vote by the ruling party is nonbinding and was called for in a letter signed by some 900 members of the central committee. But that isn't what the resolution says.  Haaretz even quotes it: “On...
From Ian: Trump says Iranians tired of having wealth stolen, ‘squandered on terrorism’ US President Donald Trump again encouraged the protesters in Iran on Sunday, saying that the Iranian people were no longer prepared to see the country’s resources “squandered on terrorism” as mass protests continued. “The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth...

"We say to him [Netanyahu], when he claims that they [Jews] have a historical right dating back to 3000 years B.C.E.—we say that the nation of Palestine upon the land of Canaan had a 7,000-year history B.C.E. This is the truth, which must be understood, and we have to note it, in order to say: 'Netanyahu, you are incidental in history. We are the people of history. We...

The Fatah Facebook page is gearing up for the 53rd anniversary of its first terror attack, and it has created posters for its heroes. Heroes like Zainab Abu Salem, who murdered two Israelis in 2004 with a suicide bomb.  The photo of her severed head, still in a hijab, was considered a wonderful thing by Fatah. Another Paleastinian hero, according to Mahmoud...
I am just starting to read an excellent but fairly obscure book called The Fervent Embrace: Liberal Protestants, Evangelicals, and Israel by Caitlin Carenen. It goes through how mainstream and other strains of American Protestants dealt with Jews and Israel from about 1930-2000. The book is well researched - and every page illuminates the thinking of Protestants...

From Ian: Khaled Abu Toameh: How Palestinians Silence Palestinians The talk that Al-Dayeh would soon be prosecuted before a Palestinian Authority "military" court aroused further surprise. Was the former bodyguard arrested, many wondered, for committing a serious security-related offense? Speculation on the Palestinian street even reached the point of considering whether...

From Ian: Who Truly Occupies Whom? Who truly occupies whom? Palestinians occupy Jewish land. Jews are the true indigenous people and owners of the land of Israel. The ancient Philistines have long disappeared from the earth, and current Palestinians have absolutely no connection to them. On September 19 2015, Obama’s then-White House Chief of Staff, Denis McDonough said: “an [Israeli] occupation that has lasted for almost 50 years must end.” Jerusalem...

This is based on Blogger's algorithm, which I don't understand, but it appears to include readers across all platforms - Facebook, LinkedIn, email list and so forth. #5 is a linkdump! 5. 12/07 Links Pt1: Trump’s truth-telling on Jerusalem marks an all-new Middle East; 20 reasons why every foreign embassy should move to Jerusalem 4. "10 Jewish dishes Arabs eat every day" 3. Hypocrisy alert: Lebanon almost finished building a wall,...
From Ian: Caroline Glick: Facing a Tamimi government As Arnold Roth, whose daughter Malki was among the seven children murdered at Sbarro, reported on his website, Jordanian Prince Ali’s wife, former CNN reporter Princess Rym Ali raised donations from the governments of Europe, Australia and Canada to establish a journalism school in Amman. On every page of the Jordanian Media Institute’s website, Ahlam Tamimi is presented as a “Success Model.” Three...
Have you ever turned the corner and found yourself in the middle of a street party? Men dancing in the street, women carrying babies standing, smiling and watching, loud music and vehicles lit up all colors of the rainbow… happy people, celebrating. What a beautiful thing. It was the last night of Hanukah and we were walking in a religious neighborhood of Haifa....

Sultan Al-Zubani, a self-described Kuwaiti media person who welcomes debate, put out  a series of tweets about Israel and Jews that raised eyebrows in that country which has a boycott against dealing with any Israeli. He started the series by saying that Tel Aviv is an amazing, clean and tidy city. He went on to say that he wanted to enter Israel, the land of the Prophets,...

By Petra Marquardt-Bigman Al Jazeera – or at least Al Jazeera contributor Shenila Khoja-Moolji – is desperately clueless, stumped by the question: “Why is the West praising Malala, but ignoring Ahed?” So let’s help them out a bit. Malala Yousafzai gained prominence as a teen blogger for BBC Urdu, where she described her life under the harsh rule of the fundamentalist...

A tweet was brought to my attention today about a British Naval Intelligence handbook on Palestine and Jordan from 1943. I found it online. People who consume the news today about the Middle East would be very surprised to learn many of the facts brought up in the book. (Readers of this site know all of this.) For example, Arabs hardly ever referred to the area as "Palestine,"...

Elder of Ziyon - حـكـيـم صـهـيـون



This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For 20 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
