Someone complained about one of my @KenRoth tweets to Twitter in Germany (update)

Ken Roth, formerly of Human Rights Watch, has been having a meltdown lately. Over the summer, Harvard's Kennedy School did not offer him a fellowship, reportedly because rich Zionists who fund the school didn't like his record of crazed anti-Israel tweets and reports.We have no information about whether this is really the reason. But Roth is pushing that narrative as...

My speech at ISGAP on my definition of antisemitism (video)

ISGAP, the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, held its conference this week in Cambridge, England. The theme of the conference is "Global Antisemitism, ‎A Crisis of Modernity Revisited."I gave a short talk (virtually) on the topic of "A modest proposal for a new definition of antisemitism" based on the definition I came up with last year. Here...

Real apartheid: Jews who build illegally in the Negev get expelled in 24 hours, Bedouin build with impunity (with 2013 EoZNews video)

From Times of Israel:In the Negev, a few dozen right-wing activists, reportedly residents of the south and students at yeshivas in the area, set up a new outpost overnight Tuesday on state land close to the Bedouin city of Rahat.Two prefab structures were brought to the location, which the activists declared as a “new community” named Ma’ale Paula in memory of the wife of...

EoZ's most popular tweets of the week (many of which weren't blogged)

Jews have free access to about 3% of Hebron.Arabs have free access to about 97% of Hebron, and limited access to the rest.And the ARABS are the ones calling this "apartheid." https://t.co/GG0NyuweQo — Elder Of Ziyon ҉ (@elderofziyon) April 1, 2019 Who is dumber, the original poster or the hundreds of drones who like it, thinking he actually made a point? https://t.co/poCnp4PR9w — Elder Of Ziyon ҉ (@elderofziyon) March 31,...

EoZNews Video: Save a Child's Heart

Save a Child's Heart is one of those organizations whose very existence completely and thoroughly debunks the lies about Israel that haters make up and then parrot. I didn't note this on the video, but keep in mind while you are watching it that the Wolfson Medical Center is not state of the art. It is actually pretty run down. It serves a poorer section of Israel around Holon. It didn't even have an MRI. Rooms were hurriedly converted to allow...

EoZNews: Yossi Kuperwasser, part 2: Getting Israel's message out (video)

This is part 2 of my video interview with Brig. Gen. Yossi Kuperwasser, head of the Ministry of Strategic Affairs in the Prime Miister's office. In part 1, Kuperwasser gave a passionate defense of the building of Jewish communities on the territories reclaimed in 1967. Here. he discusses the bizarre conclusions of the Goldstone Report and the victory of Goldstone's recanting it. Kuperwasser states that he would like to get other Jews who hold the...

EoZ Interview with editors of Mida (video)

After Mida wrote their great story on me, it is only fair for me to do the same. Mida is a conservative leaning, but non-religious, magazine that came onto the Israeli scene late last year. It has already broken major stories and made some waves. For a startup, they have a really beautiful office in Jerusalem, with a great view (not seen in this video unfortunately.) I'm very, very jealou...

EoZ interviewed by Israel web magazine Mida

Mida, a fast-growing Hebrew Israeli web magazine, interviewed me when I was in Israel last month. Its extensive story about me has been published today - as their top story! Here's the introduction: Revenge of the Elder of Ziyon: Interview with the combative blogger He believes that American liberals cannot understand Israel; but working tirelessly he explains it to...

EoZNews Video: The Bedouin problem in the Negev

While I was in Israel last month I was given a tour of the Negev by Regavim, an NGO that concentrates on the legal use of land in Israel. A major concern is how the Bedouin have been illegally building villages throughout the entire Negev. This is not a small problem - it is an epidemic. The problem is not all the Bedouins' fault, either. Regavim is very sympathetic to how badly they were treated by Israel in the decades following 1948. But if...

EoZNews Interview: Joe Hyams of Honest Reporting

Another of my stops in Israel was to visit Honest Reporting, the famous media watchdog group. They have a beautiful office space in the famed Hechal Shlomo building - and their CEO, Joe Hyams, showed me that their outdoor balcony space is actually where IDF officers would have their swearing-in ceremony before 1967, because from the rooftop it is possible to see the Temple Mount. I spoke with Joe not only about Honest Reporting but also about their...

EoZNews: Interview with NGO Monitor's Gerald Steinberg

On the first full day of my recent trip to Israel, I visited NGO Monitor, the organization that keeps track of abuses by NGOs - both the supposedly unbiased NGOs like Human Rights Watch and the many specifically anti-Israel NGOs that have spouted up. I was warmly welcomed, and had a nice time meeting all the employees over a Big Apple Pizza lunch. (It isn't Pizza Hut, but it isn't bad!) I took the opportunity to interview its president,...

EoZNews: Interview with Alex Safian of CAMERA

When I was in Israel I had the opportunity to meet with many of the people working for CAMERA, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle east Reporting in America, as well as representatives of their sponsored blogs CiFWatch and BBCWatch. We had a good discussion of media bias and strategy. (Yes, conspiracy theorists, I will discuss strategy with fellow pro-Israel advocates. Scary, isn't it?) Here is an exclusive EoZNews interview with Alex Safian, Associate...

A tour of the Belz synagogue in Jerusalem (EoZNews video)

Here is the video I made of the personal tour I had of the immense Belzer Hasidic synagogue earlier this week, that I mentioned in yesterday's post of the interview with the Belzer representative:...

EoZNews Video: A hareidi response to the Israeli draft

This week I was given the opportunity to be given a personal tour of the headquarters of the Belzer Hasidic movement in Jerusalem. The building complex is very impressive and I plan to post a video of the tour of the huge synagogue itself soon. While being showed around, I spoke to the Belzer representative, Yechezkal Friedman, about the major issues being discussed today concerning the hareidi community in Israel today, specifically the...

EoZ talk in Herzliya (slides plus audio)

Last Tuesday, I spoke at a gathering of pro-Israel activists in Herzliya. My topic was "How Israel can win the information war." As usual, I am placing this video up so everyone can watch and listen to how fast I speak: Thanks again to the organizers, Israel Muse and Batzi, and to Yarron for the sound (my recorder did not work, and his was better anyway...

Shocking discrimination discovered against Arabs at evil settlement supermarket

Jews and Arabs shopping together today at Rami Levy Today I had the opportunity to interview the manager of the Rami Levy supermarket in the Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria (the "West Bank.") The Rami Levy stores, you will recall, have been the target of Palestinian Authority wrath because it offers low prices that Palestinian Arabs from the area take advantage of....
