10/31 Links Pt2: Special Editorial: #WeAreAllJews; Sohrab Ahmari: Why This Catholic Loves the Jews; Roger Waters and the Great Green Chevron Scam; Ben & Jerry’s on Partnering With Group Tied to Farrakhan

From Ian: Sohrab Ahmari: Why This Catholic Loves the Jews For starters, it was mainly Jewish writers who dispelled the dangerous Marxist illusions of my youth and ushered me to political maturity. Were it not for Leon Kass, Arthur Koestler, Irving Kristol, and Leo Strauss, to name but a few of them, I probably would have continued to wallow in the lethal “idealism” of the...

Meanwhile, Muslim and Arab antisemitism continues, but no one wants to talk about that

Al Watan Voice has an article about how the Communist movement was dominated by "Zionists." Sometimes the author slips and says "Zionist Jews." So we learn that Karl Marx was a "Zionist Jew" who came from a long line of Talmudic scholars. (Marx was baptized at 6 and raised as a Christian.) Practically all the people behind Communism were "Zionists." "Zionist Jews" were responsible for the murder of 66 million people in the Soviet Union from...

Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory. Check out their Facebook page. I Boycott Jerusalem Elections, Then Complain The City Ignores Me By Alhaf Suwij, East Jerusalem resident Ras-a-Amud, Jerusalem, October 31 - Maintaining one's ideological principles is important. Me, I adhere to my people's official position...

From Ian: The West Must Stop Fetishizing Palestinian Extremists He is bare-chested, muscular and not unattractive. A Palestinian flag blazes in one hand, a slingshot is strained taut in the other. All around him is smoke and press photographers. Aed Abu Amro, a 20-year-old Gazan, is rioting on the boundary between the Hamas-run statelet and Israel's southern frontier. Amro,...

David Letterman visited Donald Trump in 1986, in what may have been Trump's first appearance on the show. When Letterman visits Trump's office, there is a shot of the wall where Trump places various awards he had received. Most prominent is the "Etz Chaim" award from some Jewish organization. The words mean "Tree of Life." I also remember during a season of The...

Yesterday I pointed out that antisemitic hate crimes may have soared far more than the 57% increase in antisemitic incidents that the ADL reported on for 2017. We won't know whether my analysis is true until the FBI releases its hate crimes report for 2017. But right now there are lots of pundits who are linking Trump with the 2017 increase in incidents. One prominent example: I...

The Gaza Ministry of Health issued a statement about the critical shortage of immunosuppressant and other drugs in Gaza, jeopardizing the health and life of hundreds of patients who have had successful kidney transplants. Without those drugs, the patients may have to return to going on dialysis, their new kidneys becoming useless. There are 333 kidney transplant...

10/30 Links Pt2: Ben Shapiro: How to Fight Anti-Semitism; Doctor: First Three People to Treat Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooter at Hospital Were Jews

From Ian: Ben Shapiro: How to Fight Anti-Semitism Understanding the particular nature of anti-Semitism requires fighting it wherever it exists. Believing that anti-Semitism is merely a symptom of generalized bigotry, by contrast, allows the parsing of anti-Semitism — and its sublimation into broader political conversations regarding hierarchies of power and privilege. Take,...

The hardest part of Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life massacre, for those of us with roots in Squirrel Hill, was waiting for the names. In Israel, we’re resigned to the idea that we must wait for the inevitable roll call of victims after every terror attack. And even though the wait seems interminable we know that it’s about the need to inform the families first before releasing...

From Ian: Caroline Glick: Jordan's King Abdullah -- Weak, Untrustworthy, and Irreplaceable It is an open secret, seldom discussed, that the regime of King Abdullah II of Jordan is extraordinarily weak. He is viewed in the U.S. as a close ally, whose counsel is sought by senior officials and foreign policy practitioners. But more than an ally, Abdullah is a dependent. Without...

Reports indicate that Mahmoud Abba has dissolved the Palestinian Legislative Council. This was anticipated, as Al Monitor reported last week: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is moving toward dissolving the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) in a legally questionable step. The amended Palestinian Basic Law of 2003 does not grant the president or any official Palestinian...

A lot of reports about the Pittsburgh massacre are noting that the ADL reported an increase in antisemitic incidents of 57% in 2017 compared to 2016. Josh Nathan-Kazis, a Forward writer, suggests that these dramatic numbers are overstated in terms of how dramatic they sound. Here is his Twitter thread. I'm seeing a lot of folks using the ADL's figure of a 57% rise in anti-Semitic...

The "progressives" have been using Pittsburgh as a means to divide Jews, and it is disgusting. One of the people that they despise, Naftali Bennett, the leader of Israel's Jewish Home party and Israel's Minister of Education and Minister of Diaspora Affairs, gave a speech Sunday at a vigil for the victims, and it was more unifying than any of the articles and social...

The PLO just officially said it supports terror. No one noticed.

Times of Israel reports: A top Palestinian body on Monday passed a motion urging Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to suspend all agreements with Israel and revoke recognition of the Jewish state until Israel formally recognizes a Palestinian state on the 1967 lines.“We recognize the right to resist the occupation in all methods that comply with international...

From Ian: John Podhoretz: What I learned as an American Jew after the Pittsburgh synagogue attack On this day of all days it needs to be said: America has been a blessing for the Jewish people unlike any other blessing given any other people in the history of the world. One crime — or 29 separate crimes, committed at the same time by a monster in human form — cannot be allowed...

From Tehran Times: Jamal Wakim, professor of History and International Relations at Lebanese University, has said that the Zionist regime of Israel has the strategic objective of gaining control over the Strait of Hormuz.“After Al Saud’s failure to normalize Israeli-Arabic relations, the Zionists have found Oman Sultanate and the country’s Sultan [Qaboos bin Said al Said]...
