Nazis insisted on humane cattle cars - for cattle, not Jews. The logic behind it is relevant for "human rights defenders" today.

Haaretz reports:In the summer of 1942, Fritz Sendel, chief of staff of the German Order Police in occupied Poland, sent a message to the force’s commanding officers.

In the middle of a Haaretz article on humanitarian issues in Jenin, we see:Another resident of the camp, who prefers to remain unnamed, refused to leave his home with his family of eight. "We will not leave our home even if it falls on our heads," he said. "Our forefathers left in 1948 and were told to come back after a week, and that week has been 75 years. We will not make...

Some Leftists and Arabs are upset at promoting mutual respect and equality between Israeli Jews and Arabs

Atidna describes itself this way:Atidna is a coalition of educators and social entrepreneurs, Arab citizens of Israel together with Jews from the State-Zionist Camp in Israel.We, Israeli educators, society and entrepreneurship, believe that true integration will only begin when all of us, Arabs and Jews alike, will see the Arab Israeli public as an equal partner in a Jewish...

Did the Kingdom of Israel control the lucrative "royal purple" and "royal blue" dye trade?

Pottery that contained the argaman dye found at ShikmonaHaaretz publishes a fascinating theory:Israeli archaeologists are rethinking the history of an ancient factory that, thousands of years ago, was one of the largest sites for the production of “royal purple,” a dye that adorned the robes of the rich and powerful across the Mediterranean.Tel Shikmona, located on the shore...

Palestinian terrorists shoot at journalists, Israel blamed

Haaretz reported about the clashes in Jenin yesterday, and fully accepted the idea that unseen snipers shooting towards the journalists were Israeli and not Palestinian.

Residents say that when the presence of Israeli...

Haaretz really hates pro-settler NGOs

Last week, Haaretz published a supposed expose of Regavim, an NGO that insists that the Israeli government adhere to its own laws in Area C of Judea and Samaria.The article didn't dig up any dirt.

Something happened this week that completely contradicts everything you've been reading about the current Israeli government - and the High Court.From Haaretz:The Supreme Court should reject a petition demanding the eviction of residents of the Palestinian village of Khan al-Ahmar, because the eviction involves “diplomatic and security considerations” that should be made by...

Haaretz only hates SOME American billionaires who fund Israeli think tanks

Back in January, Haaretz published "The American Billionaires Behind the Far-right Attempt to Destroy Liberal Israel." It highlighted the fact that the Kohelet Forum, a think tank that has influenced the judicial reform plan in Israel, is heavily funded by right-wing American billionaires which, of course, taints the entire organization. After all, why should Americans...

Even the most "moderate" Palestinians support shooting Jewish civilians

The shooting of David Stern as he drove with his family today resulted, as always, with great celebrations by Palestinians. Here a crowd goes to his house to celebrate.And here are the obligatory fireworks celebrating the shooting of a Jew.But, you may say, these are only the extremists. Certainly normal, sober Palestinians support shooting random Jewish civilians.Well,...

Bizarre Haaretz op-ed argues that compromise (on judicial reform) is AGAINST Jewish tradition

Haaretz has a truly bizarre op-ed from a prominent rabbi, Daniel Landes, who should know better.Some sort of compromise might be offered at some point by the Israeli government coalition’s minions to stop the unprecedented upheaval we in Israel are living through: mass streets protests, the hemorrhaging of high-tech investment money and pilots and other military reservists...
