A 5th grader taught "P is for Palestine" author some Talmud!

Right after the reading of the book "P is for Palestine" - the book that glorifies terrorism by saying "I is for Intifada" - in Highland Park NJ two weeks ago, I received an email describing some of the things that happened inside the actual reading by the author, Golbarg Bashi. I didn't report it because it is the sort of story that could easily have been changed in the...

I reported last week about PLO representative to the UK, Husam Zomlot, giving a speech in Berlin where he admitted that Palestinians never wanted to a state in anything less than 100% of the land from the river to the sea. He's very proud of this speech where he brags about Palestinian intransigence. His Facebook timeline shows the same video of his speech over twelve times! Zomlot...

In September, Mahmoud Abbas announced at the UN that he intends to schedule elections as soon as he returns to Ramallah. "I have decided, upon my return from this international gathering, to announce a date for the holding of general elections in Palestine – in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip," he said. Five weeks later, no such date has been...

The playbook of Palestinian officials for many years was to threaten the world, saying that if Palestinians don't get their political demands met by other nations pressuring Israel, then there would be massive waves of terrorism and instability. The effectiveness of these regular threats have gone way down. But they can't get rid of old habits. The latest naked threat...

Hey America: Israel is Losing It Too! (Vic Rosenthal)

Vic Rosenthal's Weekly Column I know that I sound like a broken record. OK, none of you are old enough to know what that sounds like. How about a scratched CD, one that plays the same phrase over and over and over: Bibi, Gantz, Lieberman, Lapid: get your acts together. It is a matter of life and death. I have sometimes sounded smug when I criticize the USA,...

From Ian: Seth Mandel: This Jew doesn't tremble How To Fight Anti-Semitism is tightly argued and clocks in at just about 200 pages. What it’s able to accomplish in that time is remarkable, but it really shines in two areas. The first is dispensing with the lazy defense of anti-Zionism as distinct from anti-Semitism. As Weiss shows, it really is a form of anti-Semitism. Israel...

Amy Klobuchar is, out of all the Democratic primary hopefuls, undoubtedly the most pro-Israel of the bunch. Perhaps that’s why she is often asked if she is Jewish. She is not, though the JTA has called her the “go-to Democrat for the Orthodox.” Klobuchar has spoken out against antisemitism and for Jewish values. Her official website states, “As staunch allies of...

A BDS conference (with Linda Sarsour, Cornell West, Omar Barghouti via Skype and the usual crowd) is scheduled for November 12 at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst. Some pro-Israel groups pressured the university to cancel, although it is not a university event and they are just leasing out the space. The Chancellor of the university, Kumble Subbaswamy, invoked academic...

From Ian: MEMRI: Saudi Writer: Those Who Blame U.S. For ISIS Terrorism Disregard The Fact That For Years Millions Have Been Taught Extremism And Hatred For The West In its official responses to the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, Saudi Arabia fully supported the U.S. and its policy, while stressing the strong alliance between the two countries.

I came across a book published in 1783 in England, called "A Call to the Jews, from a Friend of the Jews." The anonymous author makes his intentions clear at the start: Dear Brethren, AS fellow creatures, and many of you as fellow Britons the benevolent design of this address to you is to persuade you to become fellow Christians. In my humble opinion, I cannot evince...
