🎶🎵"Who's afraid of the big red cow, the big red cow, the big red cow?"🎶🎵

Arabic and even English Arab media are up in arms over the potential slaughter and burning of a purely red cow. As Egypt's Shorouk News reports:Extremist Temple groups are counting on the fact that holding a ritual of purification by slaughtering and burning the five red cows could open the way for hundreds of thousands of religious Jews to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, who abstain...

Only Palestinians are allowed to invoke religion for nationalistic purposes

Arab leaders and pundits habitually warn, in English, that Israel is threatening to threatening to turn the conflict into a religious war. A recent example comes from Ramzy Baroud in Arab News, saying, What is currently taking place in Palestine is not a religious war, but some Israeli officials and political parties are keen on turning it into one.

More Muslims visit Al Aqsa under Israeli rule - EVERY WEEK - than EVER did under 1000 years of Muslim rule

Last Friday, some 100,000 Muslims visited and prayed in the courtyards of the Temple Mount.That's not even close to a record - in previous Ramadans, some crowds were estimated at 250,000. From all accounts, these numbers are far, far higher than the number of Muslims who visited the Temple Mount on any day from the dawn of Islam to 1967.I cannot find any news articles...

Intifada Intel: What the IDF Knew in July 2000 (Judean Rose)

Itamar Ben Gvir caused a furor when he visited the Temple Mount back in January. But not really. All the umbrage regarding his “provocation”—walking while Jewish—was manufactured by bored reporters who have nothing else to write about; by left-wing reporters who lust to smear Israel in print; by Hamas, the PA, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, and yes, the United States...

From Ian: A Blood Libel Against Israel on Netflix On Dec. 1, Netflix started streaming the Jordanian film "Farha," which depicts fictionalized, heartless Israeli soldiers viciously killing Palestinian men, women and children in cold blood.

Arab antisemitism: The hate that cannot be named

I came across an online copy of Arab-Israeli Conflict: The Essential Reference Guide, a 2014 volume that attempts to distill the conflict to less than 400 pages, including source materials. Written and edited by southeast Asia-based academic Priscilla Roberts, it attempts to be even-handed and there is little that is offensive or too inaccurate (it certainly has...
