The UN's latest anti-Israel legal argument is predicated on lies

On Thursday, the UN published a document titled, "Study on the Legality of the Israeli Occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Including East Jerusalem."It is 107 pages of tendentious and one-sided arguments all intended to declare Israeli actions since 1967 to be illegal. There are counterarguments to each of their arguments - but they don't let the readers know...

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. ...

Palestinians never run out of ways to blame Jews for their abject failures

The official Palestinian Authority Wafa news agency reports:Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh today received in his Ramallah office the new head of the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) mission to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Kerstin Gerling, in the presence of its former head, Alexander Tieman, and IMF Resident Representative Thomas Laursen, during which they discussed...

Comparing 1921 Zionists with 1994 Palestinians

On Sunday, I saw a tweeter quoting a 2019 Hanan Ashrawi tweet:This is a ridiculous theory, so I responded:Somehow, between 1921 and 1948, under full British control, Zionists managed to build a prosperous economy and effective governance. Palestinians have had since 1994 with more autonomy than Jews had. And yet they blame Israel for their failures. As...

The British didn't leave Palestine on May 15, 1948 - but on June 30

The last British soldiers did not leave Palestine until six weeks after Israel declared independence.The British continues to control Haifa's port until June 30, when they finally left and Israel took over.And within hours of the withdrawal, Israel introduced its new navy. (London Daily Herald, July 1 1948)It was so small that United Press put the word "navy" in scare...

Interesting analysis of the evolution of Palestinian identity by an anti-Zionist

Zachary Foster has become a popular anti-Zionist tweeter in recent months, to the point of becoming essentially a troll more interested in scoring points than in facts. (Before he blocked the terrific Adin Haykin, they had a number of entertaining exchanges.)Yet in the past, I have found his scholarly papers to be very interesting and illuminating, and they tell a story...

Another own goal at the "Museum of the Palestinian People"

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...

Jews acting like adults while Arabs act like babies - in 1948

The time between May 1 and May 15, 1948, was a strange time in British Mandate Palestine. Many British bureaucrats had already packed up and left ahead of their official departure on May 15. But the Jewish state couldn't be declared yet.Normal governmental functions still needed to be done. And who did them?The Jews, of course.Palestine Post, May 3, 1948:May 4:Someone...
