06/30 Links Pt2: The ADL’s Disgrace; Fox Channel Scraps Live Broadcast of Speech by Louis Farrakhan Following Outcry; 2,500-year-old seals may show Jews rebuilding Jerusalem after 1st Temple exile

From Ian: The ADL’s Disgrace It’s hard to think of a more prominent anti-Semite in American public life over the last 30 years than the Rev. Al Sharpton. Louis Farrakhan may give him a run for his money, but the leader of the so called Nation of Islam remains a pariah—Barack Obama was photographed with him once, in 2005, and never made that mistake again. Sharpton is a different...

In Gaza, it will be “massive.” In Madrid, they helpfully point out that they aren’t just against “annexation” but Zionism and Israel altogether. In Los Angeles, the Jewish community is nervous that the protest will spread into rioting through the Jewish community. Notice it says “Zionist consulate.” In Chicago, one of the sponsors is the Palestinian...

I wrote last night that Wednesday is supposed to be a “Day of Rage” for Palestinians as a response to Israel extending its laws over parts of Judea and Samaria. Now the Islamic Movement in Jordan is calling for another “Day of Rage” on Friday for Muslims worldwide. In Gaza yesterday, there was a demonstration against the so-called “annexation” sponsored by Fatah....

From Ian: Willful Blindness and the Mistake of Underestimation: The Oslo Gamble During the last half-century, several reputable scholars and defense professionals have devoted careful attention to the world view and aspirations of the Palestinian Arabs. Working independently, these researchers described the strategic goals of the Palestine Liberation Organization and exposed...

For at least the past five years, Palestinian media have been using this photo as a generic image to illustrate a story about someone being arrested by Palestinian police: I just saw an example this morning, but there are hundreds of uses of this photo across Palestinian Arabic news media. Meaning that placing a knee on a suspect’s neck is considered normal behavior...

Asher Fredman just published a book (free online) where he goes into great detail about the BDS movement’s methods and what has worked against them. I found one chapter to be particularly important. It showed that whenever BDS targets give the Israel-haters the tiniest amount of attention, this emboldens the BDSers to increase pressure on that company. Meeting...

Hezbollah and its allies are getting more and more confident in attacking Lebanon’s liberal traditions. A very amusing example came rom the Facebook page of Shiite cleric Abbas Hoteit, who posted on Sunday photos of bikini-clad women from a Sidon newspaper “Ya Sour.” Ten photos. He apologized profusely for being forced to show his followers such...

Wednesday is a Palestinian “Day of Rage.” Whatever shall we do?

On Sunday, a bunch of terror groups got together in the Gaza Strip and declared Wednesday to be a “day of rage.” The various factions, who usually don’t agree on anything, agreed that a “day of rage” would be a wonderful display of unity. It is unclear how this Wednesday will be distinguishable from any other Wednesda...

From Ian: Former Canadian PM Stephen Harper: BDS movement brings anti-Semitism into the mainstream Former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper addressed a virtual conference of the Christians United For Israel (CUFI) organization Sunday evening, accusing the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement of bringing anti-Semitism ‘into polite society’. Anti-Semitism...

Muslims threatening Jews in public in Brussels–and Jaffa

Here are two places this past weekend where Muslims loudly and proudly threatened Jews with the chant, They are chanting Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yahood Jaish Muhammad saya'ud. Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews The Army of Mohammed will return Of course, Khaybar is where Mohammed slaughtered Jews. They aren't saying "Zionists." They are saying "Jews." In Brussels: The slogan "Jews, the army of Muhammad will return" was chanted by the demonstrators...

The Collapsing of the American Mind (Daled Amos)

By Daled Amos In August 2005, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd invoked a mother's moral authority against President Bush on the issue of the Iraq War. Cindy Sheehan's son had been killed in Iraq the previous year and insisted on camping outside the Bush ranch until the president agreed to speak to her. Bush had already spoken to her, but she insisted on speaking to him again, so she could tell him why the war was wrong and the US should...

From Ian: David Singer: Jewish People Reclaiming Sovereignty in Biblical Heartland after 3000 Years The United Nations is disgracefully trying to prevent a miracle happening 100 years after the world first gave its historic imprimatur to an impossible dream becoming a possible reality: The restoration of Jewish sovereignty in 1697km² [square kilometres] of the Jewish People’s...

Hear me out. I know some of the things you will read will be hard for you to believe because you have been preprogrammed for so long to believe the opposite. But bear with me. There is no such thing as anti-Zionism, well at least not as you know it. There once was an intellectual movement called anti-Zionism, but that doesn't exist any more. In the days long before...

The words “human rights” means something much different to Palestinians than to the rest of the world. For years, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in Gaza Legal Aid department has worked with Israeli authorities to facilitate medical treatment of Gazans in Israel, the West Bank or abroad. According to the group, it has helped transfer some 700 patients...

Fox Soul TV, a new streaming service aimed at black people, is featuring antisemite Louis Farrakhan for a July 4th speech. Would the normally right-wing Fox News allow a far-right KKK leader to give an hour long speech to the nation? Of course not. So why on Earth is it okay to feature America's most prominent antisemite on a national platform - and...

90 years ago, an Arab newspaper said the Jews will never get the Kotel as long as Muslims are alive

From The Palestine Bulletin, June 29, 1930: A small example of that famed Arab tolerance of Jews before 1948 that we keep hearing abou...

Lots of topics covered here in a fun conversation covering nearly 3000 years. Check it out! ...

From Ian: Jonathan S. Tobin: Anti-Semitism gets you fired by Labour, but hired by NYT It turns out The New York Times has lower standards when it comes to those who spread anti-Semitic canards than even Britain's controversial Labour Party. Tweeting an anti-Semitic blood libel about Israel being responsible for teaching American cops the tactics that led to the killing of...

From Arab News: A Lebanese judge on Saturday tried to ban media from reporting criticism of Hezbollah supporters by US ambassador Dorothy Shea. Judge Muhammad Mazieh issued an order in Tyre on Saturday banning all media from publishing the ambassador’s comments for a year after a recent interview in which she criticized the powerful Hezbollah group seditious and...

For years now, the socialist Left – led by “Jewish Voice for Peace” – has been pushing the idea that US police learn to be racist from Israeli police, because a couple hundred US police have gone to Israel to learn counter-terrorism techniques over the last 20 years or so. We reported on this in 2015 with idiotic articles by Rania Khalek and Dave Zirin that blamed Israel...
