11/29 Links Pt2: Jeremy Corbyn Reminds Us Why Israel Exists; Liberal Jews and their anti-democratic, anti-liberal critique of Israel; Canceling Roger Waters; The BBC portrayed Raed Salah as ‘the Gandhi of Palestine’

From Ian: Jeremy Corbyn Reminds Us Why Israel Exists Israel looms large in Corbyn’s worldview.

Because the guidelines conflicted with its anti-Zionism, the most significant and consequential form...

It is one of the ten days of the year that Jews have access to the entire building. Some 45,000 Jews came to celebrate, most staying (and eating) in tents because there are not nearly enough rooms to accommodate them all. Some...

From Ian: Melanie Phillips: As the west goes terribly wrong, Arabs inch in the right direction As the west goes in one direction, so the Arab world is now going in the other.

I'm suspended from Twitter for a joke I made

On Wednesday night I posted an antisemitic video from a far right Christian network where the host of the show said that Jews were planning a "Jew Coup" and will start a civil war by Christmas, killing millions of Christians: "You have been taken over by a Jewish cabal. The church of Jesus Christ, you’re next. Get it through your head! They’re coming for you. There will be a purge. That’s the next thing that happens when Jews take over a country,...

UNRWA has a campaign against gender based violence. That's the good news. The bad news is that it still wants to blame Israel for Gaza men beating and sexually abusing their wives. UNRWA issued a report about women in Gaza, and the section on domestic abuse is filled with justifications because of "occupation." Violence against women is high in Gaza, and linked to external...
