The UN's history of the "Question of Palestine" omits every single Palestinian attack on Jews

The UN has a webpage where it shows a timeline on the "Question of Palestine."It is biased as hell. It starts with "1885 – The term 'Zionism' first coined by the Viennese writer, Nathan Birnbaum."There is no mention of Jewish history in the region for thousands of years. No mention of Jewish kingdoms. No mention of the centrality of Eretz Israel and Jerusalem to Judaism. ...

"Pro-Palestinians" justify their intransigence and hate in revealing response to my cartoon

Last week, Peter Beinart tweeted this:People in Jenin can't become citizens of the country in which they live. Can't vote for the govt that determines if they live or die.

Arab writer says the quiet part out loud: opposing Israel was never about defending "Palestine"

But it is a side comment that is most interesting:The Zionist entity goes against the logic of history and justice and stands in the way of the rights and aspirations of a major Arab nation from the ocean to the Gulf. It has no future in our Arab...

75 years ago: Arab terrorist attacks on Jews intensify, and an early "BDS" from Egypt

In the Palestine Post of December 26 and 27, 1947, Arab terror attacks on Jews were as bad as they were during the second intifada. No one talks about that today.It is worthwhile to study them. The Palestinian mentality and antisemitism, their making no distinction between Jewish civilians and armed forces, remains exactly the same today. The December 26 edition...

12/18 Links: Is The New York Times a ‘Strong Supporter’ of Israel?; Bibi must move early on Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine plan; Why the BDS campaign is futile

From Ian: Is The New York Times a ‘Strong Supporter’ of Israel? However, by focusing solely on Israel’s actions as the determining factor regarding the future of the two-state solution, the New York Times is effectively removing any responsibility from the Palestinian Authority. Indeed, aside from a passing remark about Palestinian corruption dimming the hopes of a Palestinian...
