03/31 Links Pt2: 60 Minutes: Israeli hostages bond through horror of Hamas captivity; Irish academic warns that anti-Zionism has become her country’s new religion

From Ian: Schama accuses celebrated writer of ‘sustained moral profantity’ with essay on Israel and the Shoah Simon Schama has accused the acclaimed author Pankaj Mishra of delivering an “exercise in sustained moral profanity” with an essay on Israel and Gaza that suggested those supporting the actions of the Jewish state had failed to learn the lessons of the Shoah. In...

From Ian: Seth Mandel: Stop Ignoring Hamas’s Anti-Americanism The protests on campus and in major U.S. cities in support of Hamas were explicit about their support for “anticolonialist” actions against the U.S. as well. The people tearing down hostage posters weren’t differentiating between American hostages and others. And these were American institutions being vandalized,...

The First Amendment is quite broad, and a chant like "Death to the Jews!" would likely be protected under it unless it was shouted directly at Jews, or, say, outside a synagogue. If it was done in a crowd, away from Jews, in a style that does not appear to be a direct incitement to kill Jews right now, it would probably not be prosecutable.The reason I bring this up is because...

The WSJ article I referenced this morning said:Palestinians who left Jenin are coming to believe they may not return for months or years. Several large sites have been designated to house them meanwhile, including the Arab-American University campus, 6 miles southeast of Jenin.Kamal Abu al-Rub, Jenin’s governor, said the school closed sometime after the war in Gaza began,...

We have been looking at how various groups view Jews, Judaism, and Israel as a threat to themselves - a threat that drives a pathological desire to annihilate them entirely.What about the most Jew-hating group of all, the Nazis?Everyone knows the Nazis were antisemites. But most people don't realize exactly how Nazi philosophy came up with the idea of Jews as uniquely evil...

Wall Street Journal reporters embedded with Israeli troops fighting in Jenin. The report points out that this operation, and similar ones throughout the territories, are qualitatively different from those of the past: Israel has never tried anything like what it is doing now: clearing the camps entirely. It is part of Israel’s aggressive security posture following the...

Al Quds al Arabi, considered a serious, independent UK-based pan-Arab newspaper, has an article called "Lies spread by the Zionist and Western media about Palestine."Here's one of those supposed lies:In 1903, the Edison Company, funded by the Jewish Agency, dispatched a cameraman to Palestine to produce short films that would reinforce the concept of "a land without a people...

03/30 Links: Israel: an anti-colonial triumph; Understanding the Arabs' Religious War Against the Jews; BBC refused antisemitism training

From Ian: Israel: an anti-colonial triumph By early 1948, the catastrophe that was about to overtake the Arabs of Palestine was coming into view. Jordan’s prime minister, Tawfik Abu al-Huda, warned Britain’s foreign secretary, Ernest Bevin, in the spring of 1948 that while ‘the Jews had prepared a government which would be able to take power as soon as the mandate was terminated…...

(This is a continuation of my series on supersessionism as a defining feature of antisemitism.)In On the Jewish Question (1843), Karl Marx made his antisemitism quite clear, with passages like "What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.” But the essay also shows his desire to rid the world of the Jewish people as a people and...

The Arab love of antisemitic conspiracy theories naturally extends to every corner of the globe.The Saudi-government-aligned Okaz news agency has an article by Sadaqa Yahya Fadel that adds some anti-Israel angles to the Kennedy assassination that I have never seen before (although I'm sure they didn't make them up:)The United States has been - and still is - the country most...

From an op-ed in Press Tetouan (Moroccco:)How strong the shock will be once Israel moves to implement the next stage, which includes tightening the noose on Jordan, violating the sovereignty of Saudi territory, and rapidly penetrating southern Iraq after the final crushing of half of Lebanon, annexing the West Bank, and declaring Gaza unfit for human habitation for a specific...

03/29 Links: Netanyahu tells the full sotry of the War; Douglas Murray: How the West can defeat the evil death cults that murder and maim with glee; Making a Holocaust film for an age of denial

From Ian: Douglas Murray: How the West can defeat the evil death cults that murder and maim with glee Here in the West, we are prone to trotting out the same old banalities – that people around the world are the same everywhere and essentially want the same things; that everybody wants to just live in peace and bring up their family in safety. Yet some people do not. Not...
