Remembering what happens when Jews rely on others (Daled Amos)

By Daled AmosIf there was ever a time that Jews needed the help of the West, it was against Hitler.And we all know how that turned out.Put aside the refusal to bomb railroad tracks in order to slow down the transportation of Jews to their death in the concentration camps. And put aside how long it took countries to get together to make a united effort to save Jewish refugees...

Arabs make up a lot of fake Golda Meir quotes

Wednesday was the 125th anniversary of Golda Meir's birth.She was known for many memorable expressions, but the Arab world seems to prefer to make up their own.Egyptian newspaper El Balad attributes to Meir a series of quotations that are completely fictional. It doesn't look like they made these up - these fake quotes have been mentioned in Arabic language articles (and even...

They Say Biden Only Criticizes Israel Behind The Scenes -- The Same Place He Undermines It (Daled Amos)

By Daled AmosPresident Joe Biden called Netanyahu to congratulate him on his victory, as he returns to serve as prime minister of Israel.It only took a week, but a lot was made of the fact that a number of world leaders lost no time in contacting Netanyahu to wish him well, while Biden -- who likes to brag about his friendship with Bibi -- seemed to be deliberately delaying...

The American Jewish Committee in the 1960s: Peter Beinart's NYT lies more egregious than I reported

I wrote my fisking of Peter Beinart's NYT op-ed quickly, but the true depth of Beinart's dishonesty can be seen from a deeper dive into one of the topics he mentioned and I touched upon.He wrote, "Although supportive of Israel’s existence, America’s leading Jewish groups did not make it the center of their work in the mid-20th century. And when they did focus on Israel, they...

Jokes of the Six Day War

During the Six Day War, this division of Arabs is making its way across the burning desert sands towards Israel, when the Arab commander, bouncing along in his jeep, spots an aged Israeli on top a distant sand dune.The commander drops his binoculars and shouts orders to a foot soldier to run up ahead and kill the infidel Israeli.The soldier sprints ahead of theadvancing...

Children's book erases Jews and Israel from the Middle East (UPDATE)

Here is a map of the Middle East from the children's book, Amazing Women of the Middle East:You will notice that there is no Israel in this map. It is replaced with "Palestine."Modern nations like Jordan and the UAE are mentioned, so it cannot be that the map refers to a time period before 1948. Iran and Turkey are shown, so this isn't a map of only Arab countries.It...

Vietnamese General Reminds Us Of A Truth Golda Meir Taught Us Half A Century Ago (Daled Amos)

Palestinian terrorists naturally want to learn from the best. That's why they have spoken to military leaders from Latin America, Vietnam and Algeria in search of advice on the kinds of tactics that will accomplish their goal of destroying the State of Israel and sending the Jews packing. Last month, Hamas deputy political chief Musa Abu Marzouk gave an interview...

Thoughts on Yom Hazikaron (Vic Rosenthal)

Weekly column by Vic Rosenthal A few moments ago, at exactly 11 am, I went up to my roof to stand at attention for two minutes during the siren that honors the 23,928 people, soldiers and civilians, who have died since 1860 in the struggle to create and defend the Jewish state. Today, Wednesday, is Yom Hazikaron (Memorial Day) for fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism....

This Time Around, Will Biden Get What The Arab World Is Saying? (Daled Amos)

By Daled Amos Following the news of Israel's peace agreement with the UAE and Bahrain, we had a laugh at John Kerry's expense when we watched the 2016 video of Kerry assuring his audience that peace between Israel and the Arab world without first resolving the Palestinian question just wasn't possible. And Kerry knew this because he had, even a week earlier,...

Of course we should teach young Jews about 1948

Hey Alma has yet another article about how young Jews who attended Zionist summer camps are unaware of the complexities of the Israeli/Arab conflict. As is typical in these articles, the assumption is that the newly anti-Zionist Jews have been cheated out of real knowledge, and now they know better, and must “unlearn” the hasbara/propaganda they were force fed by...
