Ilan Halimi’s murder and the whitewashing of Muslim antisemitism
Seventeen years ago, a Parisian gang calling itself “the Barbarians” lured a twenty-three-year-old cell-phone salesman named Ilan Halimi onto its turf, tortured him for three weeks while reciting Quranic verses, and then left him to die by the roadside. Halimi’s murder is often seen as the beginning...

Overhaul protesters gear up for ‘day of resistance’ throughout the country Thursday
The protest movement against the government’s judicial overhaul plans was set to conduct a second major campaign to disrupt daily life in Israel on Thursday, in what activists are calling a “day of resistance.”
The day notably includes plans to block roads around Ben Gurion Airport...

NGO Monitor: The Role of NGOs in Supporting the International Criminal Court (ICC) Investigation

Leila Khaled, PFLP, South Africa

On Friday, I reported that the city of Johannesburg, South Africa, voted to rename Sandton Drive after PFLP terrorist hijacker Leila Khaled.
It turns out that the US Consulate in Johannesburg is on 1 Sandton Drive.
I hope that the US State Department lodges a serious protest against being forced to reside on a street named after a terrorist who hijacked...

From the Sandton (South Africa) Chronicle:
The Joburg City Council on 29 November adopted a motion to rename Sandton Drive after Leila Khaled.
Martin Williams, Ward 90 councillor, posted a statement on the Ward 90 Facebook group that read, “… The DA were outnumbered when the EFF and ANC voted together.
“As an affected ward councillor, I undertake to ensure adherence...

1997, apartheid, Good news, South Africa, Thomas Friedman

One of the supreme ironies of those who claim Israel is "an apartheid state" can be seen from this 1997 article, by David Kaplan, recently rediscovered, which describes Israel's involvement in helping the blacks of South Africa during the apartheid era.
That it has been doing so without any fuss or fanfare may explain why so few Israelis or South Africans know about...

South Africa doesn't even pretend to be even-handed:
South African ministers do not visit Israel, International Relations Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane said.
"Our Palestinian friends have never asked us to disengage with Israel [through cutting diplomatic relations]. They had asked us in formal meetings to not engage with the regime," she said at a Congress of SA Trade Unions international relations committee meeting.
"Ministers of South Africa...

I mentioned a few weeks ago that a concert by the Daniel Zamir Quartet was coming to Wits University in South Africa in order to make up for the concert by Yossi Reshef last March that was cut short by obnoxious protesters who crashed into the show.
The haters, of course, were going crazy that an Israeli jazz group would be playing. The sponsors, including the South Africa...

Last March, the University of Wits in South Africa sponsored a concert by an acclaimed pianist, Yossi Reshef, who was born in Israel. While the sponsors promised that they would ensure proper security, protesters crashed into the show and ruined the evening for everyone in ways that left many South Africans ashamed. The University apologized to the people who wanted...

From BDLive:
THE Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) has taken its anti-Israeli campaign a notch higher, threatening to boycott the use of the newly approved PrePex circumcising device, which it says is made in the Jewish state.
The introduction of PrePex — a nonsurgical circumcising device given the green light by the World Health Organisation — was announced this week during the sixth South African Aids Conference taking place in...

Hypocrisy, South Africa
Remember the concert by pianist Yossi Reshef that was stopped by Israel-haters who broke into the concert hall and jumped on the stage? A reminder:
Guests and the audience arriving for the concert, were manhandled, shoved by the student protesters and utterly traumatised - some were in tears and shaking.
What values do we espouse at Wits? We talk glibly about freedom to express oneself. A protest does not mean freedom to smash windows to get into...

More details about the attack on the Yom Ha'atzmaut concert in South Africa are coming out. While BDS South Africa claims that Jewish security guards attacked them (!), the truth can be seen here:
On Monday evening, April 15th, attempts to sabotage the Israeli Independence day celebrations at the Gold Reef City Lyric Theatre were carried out by over one hundred BDS, COSATU, PSC and MSA members.
The members of these groups together with collaborators...

Last night, there was a concert in Gold Reef City, Johannesburg to celebrate Yom Ha'Atzmaut:
The counter-tenor Yaniv D'Or describes what happened on his Facebook page:
Dear Friends,
Tonight I felt the venom of hatred. During a performance in Johannesburg a group or protestors stormed the Lyric Theatre and shouted some strong pro palestinians slogans as I was singing...

The South Africa Jewish Report has an article by Yossi Reshef, the Israeli-born pianist whose concert was shut down by haters at Wits University earlier this month:
The sight before me on the evening of March 12, 2013 was one I will never forget. As I was trying to overcome the sound of noise, singing and vuvuzelas coming from the outside with Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Tempest” Sonata, I was already feeling quite ill from stress.

apartheid lies, Goldstone Report, Leila Khaled, South Africa
Remember the Richard Goldstone op-ed in the New York Times last week that flatly stated that Israel is not an apartheid state?
At the time I wrote "As night follows day, we can expect the rabid anti-Israel Left who embraced Goldstone as their messiah two years ago will issue vicious condemnations of this piece, and charge Goldstone with being a tool of the Zionist lobby, tomorrow."
Well, tomorrow has arrived. The anti-Israel stunt known as the...
