05/31 Links Pt2: Biden’s antisemitism program defends antisemites; J Street isn't as pro-Israel, pro-peace as it claims to be; Tree of Life shooter considered Jews 'a cancer on this planet'

From Ian: Richard Landes: On Western Media and the Arab-Israeli Conflict The expression ‘reality-based community’ has a strange genealogy. First used contemptuously by a Bush Administration official in 2004 to describe liberals who objected to their policies with ‘facts’, it quickly became a proud self-referent for liberals. Ironically, as Kurt Andersen puts it in his extensive...

Palestinians have it easy. Whenever there is any statistic announced that shows that life for them isn't perfect, they have someone to blame: Israel. So, for example, when there are some people in Gaza who are food insecure, it must be Israel's fault - even though it is much worse in neighboring Egypt, and even though Israel does not limit food into Gaza at all....

This morning, there was a large explosion in a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command location in the Bekaa region in southern Lebanon, near the Syrian border.The PFLP-GC immediately issued a press release saying that this was an IDF airstrike.Arabic-language media spread the word about the Israeli aggreesion.Since then, two things happened:- The IDF...

From Ian: How lies became facts: The Tantura ‘massacre’ returns The battle over Israel’s legitimacy, of which this story of the great “massacre of Tantura” is but a chapter, is part of the overall war being waged in the West by the progressive camp to impugn the moral foundations of the West as a civilization advancing freedom. These revisionist arguments echo the ideas...

An article in Al-Khanadeq, which appear to be a pro-Hezbollah mouthpiece, writes about three examples of decades-old financial scandals that were associated with Jews.And it concludes, "Many are the scandals of the Jews, who practiced usury, smuggling, and committing atrocities, without any moral scruples or deterrents. In the United States, which provided a lot for them,...

Raja Abdulrahim has become an expert on how to write slanderous, one-sided articles about Israel while carefully adhering to the journalistic standards that supposedly ensure "fairness" of the New York Times.As the Khoswan family slept, the Israeli military dropped three GBU-39 bombs into their sixth-floor apartment. One of the bombs exploded just outside the parents’ bedroom,...

05/30 Links Pt2: Biden's antisemitism strategy not enough to end Jew-hatred; How Religious Jews Became Official Scapegoats of COVID Policy; Air Force marks 75 years since its 1st-ever strike mission

From Ian: Biden's antisemitism strategy not enough to end Jew-hatred We Jews cannot solve this gargantuan age-old problem alone. If we could, antisemitism would have been eradicated long ago. Instead, it is rearing its fury-filled, ugly head, across the United States with frequency. This battle requires the masses to stand up and work together to combat this hatred. Israel’s...

Saudi astronauts Ali al-Qarni and Rayyanah BarnawiMuslim media is discussing how Saudi astronaut Ali Al-Qarni is doing his prayers on the space station. He made a video saying that he puts his feet in some sort of attachment so he can stand still and try to prostrate himself, although that is very difficult.But he doesn't say whether he tries to face Mecca - which would...

The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics announced that in March 2023, the Palestinians exported goods worth nearly $150 million.87% of those goods went to Israel. In contrast, "only" 54% of Palestinian imports come from Israel; that used to be much higher.Now, let's imagine if Israel did what the BDS movement wants to see - and shut off all imports and exports to...

From Ian: Stop the lie: Israel never ethnically cleansed Palestinians Today’s Palestinian leaders virtually never acknowledge that Arab communities in 1947-48 who negotiated peace with Israel in advance of the war—and those who remained neutral—were not touched. Abu Ghosh, a town just west of Jerusalem, for instance, reached an agreement with Israeli authorities not to...

There aren't too many things to see in the virtual tour of the Museum of the Palestinian People in Washington DC. But several of the objects on display that show the paperwork behind lifecycle events of Palestinians are interesting - unintentionally.There are two marriage certificates and one birth certificate.Outside of the handwritten description of the father of the baby...

The Guardian reported last week:An investigation into a massacre in a destroyed Palestinian village carried out by Israeli forces in the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation has identified three possible mass graves beneath a present-day beach resort.Palestinian survivors and historians have long claimed that men living in Tantura, a fishing village of approximately 1,500...

The Palestinian Safa news agency "reports:"The Israeli occupation authorities are still continuing their efforts to obliterate the Islamic and Arab features of Al-Aqsa Mosque, including the Umayyad palaces area, falsifying its identity and ancient history, and stealing its antiquities and historical stones, in order to impose an alleged biblical narrative, and prepare for...
