The era of self-righteous indignation - and politically correct antisemitism

As the story of classified papers being discovered in Joe Biden's private residences snowballs, it is fun to watch the hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle. The people who are filled with anger at Biden were nonchalant when Donald Trump was found to have done the exact same thing, and those who were in the forefront of being angry at Trump are muted now.It is fairly obvious...

12/14 Links Pt2: No, Zionism isn’t out of date: Why the US arrests some terrorists but ignores others; Professor reveals pervasive antisemitism at University of Toronto Medical School

From Ian: No, Zionism isn’t out of date Ha’aretz columnist Anshel Pfeffer does not believe in Zionism. He doesn’t oppose it, he just thinks talking about it is a category mistake: You cannot be either a Zionist or an anti-Zionist, he says, just as you cannot be a veteran of Iwo Jima unless you were born at least 90 years ago and fought in that battle. Zionism isn’t an ideology....

John Glubb and Leila Khaled (guest post)

Guest post from Paul M.John and LeilaThe most effective army Israel faced in its 1948 war of independence was the Arab Legion of Transjordan. There’s a reason for that: It was not just armed and trained by Britain, it was led by British officers as well, commanded by Lt. General Sir John Bagot Glubb, affectionately known by the Ottoman honorific Glubb Pasha.Glubb was a career...

An angry Twitter thread to @Amnesty @AmnestyUSA, serial liars and Jew-haters.

I don't use the word "antisemitic" loosely, but in the case of Amnesty International, it really fits.Amnesty USA has spent the past two days posting a huge number of tweets to justify the "apartheid" report, which did not get a wonderful reception in the US.In one thread, AmnestyUSA claimed that the organization treats all countries equally:Amnesty International is committed...

When the utopian vision of a one-state socialist "Palestine" crashes into Palestinian Islamism

Both Western Leftists and Palestinian Arabs agree that they would love to see a single state from the river to the sea. Neither of them admit aloud how different their visions of such a state are.When speaking to Western audiences, the Left - whether they are Jews like Peter Beinart or prominent Palestinian Leftists like Leila Khaled - describe a socialist utopia where...

Antisemitism unites the Right and the Left - for Palestinians

It has been long long recognized that the extreme Right and the extreme Left in the US disagree on everything - except their antisemitism. For Palestinians, it is the same thing - but there is no "extreme" about it.The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is holding a celebration today for the 20th anniversary of the assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister...

Support for terror. Demonization of Israel. Antisemitism. This feedback loop is all illustrated on the security barrier.

Recently, Palestinian artist Taqi al-Din Sabateen painted a picture on the separation barrier, showing an Israeli soldier who removes his helmet to reveal a KKK mask, as he glares at a Palestinian child hilding a goldfish bowl.Calling Israeli Jews racists has been fashionable since Israel existed, and it is not considered outrageous anymore. It should be.The cumulative...

Latest report proves again that @Amnesty International is antisemitic

Amnesty International just issued a report on Israel's arrests for the attacks between Arabs and Jews inside Israel during May.The report includes outright lies:Amnesty International has documented unnecessary and excessive force used by Israeli police to disperse Palestinian protests against forced evictions in East Jerusalem as well as against the Gaza offensive. The protests...

Pearson textbook fixes anti-Israel bias; Israel haters complain the fixes were all "pro-Israel" - and publisher caves to them

A UK-based textbook publisher has paused the distribution of two Middle East high school books after a report that showed that the books - which were filled with anti-Israel bias - had been changed in a "pro-Israel" direction.Conflict in the Middle East, c1945-1995 and The Middle East: Conflict, Crisis and Change, 1917-2012, both written by Hilary Brash, were shown to...

Should Twitter remove Trump's tweets?

As a publisher who has had my own materials removed from social media, I am very sensitive to freedom of speech issues.And I'm sensitive from both sides of the issue, since I am certainly against antisemitic and other hate speech.The topic is fraught with emotion, as it should be. We should get emotional both about defending our freedoms and also against those who abuse their...

Palestinian pundit says American Jews in politics, media and banking support Israel above the US, insists he isn't antisemitic

Attorney Ibrahim Shaban writes a regular column for Al Quds and often publishes about Palestinian issues in other media. Today he wrote an antisemitic piece for Al Quds which was picked up by other Arab media in which he takes it for granted that American Jews have dual loyalty to Israel. The phenomenon of American Jews who occupy high positions in successive...

When The Media Extols Evil: Hitler, Farrakhan and Ahlam Tamimi (Daled Amos)

By Daled AmosOn October 17, Natalie Hopkinson -- an associate professor at Howard University -- wrote a glowing opinion piece in The New York Times on antisemite Louis Farrakhan.
