Gratuitous insult to Israel in @NYTimes story on Marvel changing Sabra's superhero origins

The New York Times reports:When Marvel Studios announced two years ago that it had cast the Israeli actress Shira Haas to play Sabra, a superhero Mossad agent, in its next “Captain America” film, the news was cheered by Israelis and denounced by Palestinians.The studio said at the time that the makers of the film, “Captain America: Brave New World,” would be “taking a new...

At the @NYTimes, things that are normal for every other country become nefarious when Israel does them

In a long New York Times Magazine profile of Benjamin Netanyahu by Ruth Margalit, we see this:Admirers credit Netanyahu with “changing the paradigm” around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Boaz Bismuth, a Likud lawmaker, told me. Netanyahu did so by effectively bypassing the Palestinians and signing normalization agreements with other Arab countries in the region....

They say Egyptian authorities were likely behind the attempted hacks.Discovery of the malware last week by researchers at Citizen Lab and...

Learning from antisemitism 200 years ago

As my readers know, I like to look at old newspapers and see how stories from the past illuminate the present.The Kent and Essex Mercury of September 9, 1823, has a story about how an antisemite falsely accused a Jewish pencil manufacturer of not having a license to trade in the products, but a manufacturer did not need a license. The antisemite took the Jew to court where...

The New York Times has an op-ed by Ilan Stavans about the resilience of Yiddish, supposedly by an expert in the field. It includes some antisemitic tropes, oversimplifications, self-contradictions, outright falsehoods and ultimately reflects anti-Zionist politics more than it represents the state of Yiddish today.For a language without a physical address that has come frighteningly...

08/14 Links Pt2: The Jews in Defiance of History; Obama’s Calculated Tolerance of Black Anti-Semitism; Antisemitism Still Haunts the European Left

From Ian: Meir Y. Soloveichik: Not Everything Is Tisha B’Av It is with this in mind that we must approach the reaction of many when the Knesset, three days before Tisha B’Av, approved limitations on the Israeli Supreme Court. The Times of Israel immediately presented us with the remarkable headline: “Judicial overhaul opponents see parallel to Tisha B’Av, saddest day in Hebrew...

What the @NYTimes left out from their story on Palestinian kids wanting to be "martyrs"

Raja Abdulrahim continues in her tradition of using her platform as a New York Times reporter to shade the facts away from the reality.She has a tragic story about how teenagers in the West Bank are writing out "wills" in the expectations of being killed by Israeli troops.The farewell testaments reflect a prevailing sense among many young men that death is heroic, meaningful...

Friday memes and cartoons

The second and third ones really, really upset the Israel haters on Twitter. The fourth was one of the most popular memes I ever posted on Instagram.By the way, this is Byzantine-era. Jews continued to build towns after 70 CE. There are lots of Talmudic-era synagogues discovered in the Galilee, Judea and Samaria. Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing...

Demolitions of thousands of Arab family homes aren't reported on @CNN or the @NYTimes

Amnesty's latest anti-Israel report's scope and methodology proves its bias was intended from the outset (update)

Amnesty just released its latest anti-Israel report, "Automated Apartheid: How facial recognition fragments, segregates and controls Palestinians in the OPT."The 82 page report was conceived from the start to be biased against Israel. This can be seen from just the introduction.By Checkpoint 56 in H2, a towering barrier features two turnstiles, and at least 24 cameras on the outside....

NYT endorses a restaurant that features anti-Israel propaganda

The New York Times recently published a list of New York's best restaurants. One of them, Ayat with at least two locations, features Palestinian Arab food.There is nothing wrong with that, of course. Good food is good food and the list has many different ethnic restaurants. But restaurants are more than food - they include presentation, atmosphere.And Ayat is filled with anti-Israel...
