From Ian: U.N. pays lipservice to Holocaust (while promoting antisemitism) "The United Nations Wednesday hosted a special session on the fight against anti-Semitism and other forms of hatred at which Israel's U.N. ambassador urged world powers to "declare war" against anti-Semitism.

Last month, Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil tweeted that he supports the right of Lebanese women to pass citizenship to their husbands and children, except if they are married to a Palestinian or Syrian men. It caused a bit of a ruckus in Lebanon but his explicit bigotry didn't make a ripple in the international media.. Earlier this month, he...

Over the past few days, the number of fires being set by Gaza arson balloons has increased markedly, with nearly 100 fires set this week alone, causing major damage. The Gaza terror groups that set these fires are known as "lightning units" - and at least one of them made up T-shirts. The Gaza groups are very proud of the fires they set, with a lot of coverage in Arab...

From Ian: JCPA: The Human Shields of the New Anti-Semitism I understand the mindset of the Israelis who came to the defense of the BDS movement in response to Germany’s anti-BDS resolution.1 They remind me of the Palestinians in Gaza who come to the defense of the terrorists of Hamas in response to Israeli activity against them. Although there are important differences between...
