01/31 Links Pt2: Ben Shapiro: Hijacking Holocaust Remembrance Day; An amnesty for Paliwood; Excavating The WaPo’s Narrative on the Israel-Islamist Conflict

From Ian: Ben Shapiro: Hijacking Holocaust Remembrance Day The same holds true for Linda Sarsour, co-chair of the Women’s March. Sarsour is a supporter of the anti-Semitic boycott against Israel. In 2012, she tweeted, “nothing is creepier than Zionism,” and has publicly defended radical Jew-hater Louis Farrakhan. She has stated that support of Israel cannot coincide with feminism....

I've had a bunch of good tweets over the past day....feel free to retweet the ones you like! First, about Amnesty: As today's @Amnesty report shows yet again, Jews are the only people in the world who are considered war criminals for living in the same land as their forefathers. And those "criminal" Jews have the audacity to be proud of it - building businesses and leading tours! — ElderOfZiyon (@elderofziyon) January 30, 2019 I would...

Vic Rosenthal's Weekly Column One of the favorite lines heard from Israel’s Left is that they want to “separate” from the Palestinians, or, lately, to “divorce” them. This may sound like a good idea, but it is a poor analogy. In the usual divorce, one of the former partners moves away. They don’t try to continue living in the same house.The separation or divorce...

From Ian: Palestinian Support for Two-State Solution Seen Declining Among the Palestinians in recent years there has been growing interest in the idea of a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is in part linked to the growing connection between Palestinians in the West Bank and the Arab sector in Israel. It is also related to the collective sense that...

Frankfurt mayor says @Amnesty is spreading antisemitism. He's right. (They are also advocating a crime against humanity.)

From the Facebook page of Frankfurt mayor Uwe Becker: The full text is: Amnesty International is promoting ethnic cleansing With their recent campaign Amnesty International is walking in the footprints of the antisemitic BDS movement. By setting pressure on Online-Booking platforms, that offer overnight stays in settlement regions and in East Jerusalem, Amnesty International is copying the methods and instruments of the antisemitic BDS movement,...

Egyptian media has lots of stories about how Israel's ambassador to Egypt, David Govrin, visited the Cairo International Book Fair this week along with an aide. Egyptians on Facebook expressed their displeasure, some saying that had they known they would have beaten them. People started to get angry at the head of the book fair for allowing this to happen. In response,...

From Bloomberg: What’s an organization designated as a terrorist group in the U.S. and Europe supposed to do when it comes to raising funds? Think cryptocurrency. A spokesman for the armed wing of Hamas, the cash-strapped militant Palestinian group that rules the Gaza Strip, urged supporters to donate in Bitcoin to get around international restrictions on funding the...

01/30 Links Pt2: MLK's Legacy Is about Moral Clarity, Not Easy Analogies; Why Muslims Should Remember the Holocaust; Crimes without punishment in Argentina

From Ian: MLK's Legacy Is about Moral Clarity, Not Easy Analogies Recently, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the civil rights movement, which King led, and the struggle for Palestinian statehood, have been analogized and morally linked in ways that might have surprised King himself. These tortured analogies reject everything King represented. After all, he preached...

Rachel Riley is a British game show host. With her blond hair and Irish surname, no one would have ever suspected she was a Jew. That is until Corbyn’s star rose, and the antisemites began crawling out of the woodwork to troll and attack her. The hate triggered something in Riley and she felt she had to speak out—to speak up for her people, for Israel. Even though her...

Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory. Check out their Facebook page. Ypsilanti, MI, January 30 - A first-term congresswoman has pledged to return a campaign contribution from a party stalwart following an investigation into the giver's Facebook and Twitter posts revealed a suspicious lack of animus toward Jews, a...

From Ian: ‘Antisemitic’ Amnesty International Campaign Targets Historic Jewish Sites in Israel, Watchdog Says Human rights group Amnesty International has been criticized for pursuing a “discriminatory, antisemitic” campaign against digital tourism companies that publicize Jewish historical and cultural sites in Jerusalem and the West Bank. “Precisely because tourism to Israel...

People are upset that Israel will not renew the mandate for the Temporary Independent Presence in Hebron, which did everything it could to delegitimize Jewish rights to the city. It is worth remembering some things that have happened over its history. TIPH observers were attacked not by Jews, but by Palestinian Arabs: On 26 March 2002 two observers, Catherine Berruex and...

This is part of a video animation released by the Palestinian government in November bragging about its medical care, in English. Furthermore, the occupied city of Jerusalem is a top priority for the Palestinian government, which seeks to strengthen the resilience of the holy city and its citizens. Therefore the government made medical transfers to the hospital inside...

Today, Amnesty International released another incredibly biased report, about how Israeli tourism to Judea and Samaria is somehow a war crime.. The hate that Amnesty has for Jews who choose to live where their forefathers lived, and for the Jewish history that nearly all occurred there, is palpable. This Amnesty report sheds no new light. NGOs keep trying to find new...
