Palestinian op-ed: "Jews have nothing in their dictionary besides crime and bloodshed" They aren't even pretending to be "anti-Zionist" anymore

Aziz Mohammed Balousha writes in an Amad.ps op-ed:For those who wreak havoc on the earth in the Holy City, and in its Al-Aqsa Mosque, from desecration and almost daily raids, and to Judaize the landmarks of the Holy City and the first two qiblahs, and in historical Palestine, by killing, demolishing, and terrorizing children, women, and the elderly...Those who make lies and...

Hamas says he was a "mujahid" was trying to stop Jews from prayer. The PA calls him a "soccer player" who was "assassinated." (UPDATE)

The messages about a Palestinian killed last night being sent to the West and for internal consumption are quite different.Under the Oslo Accords, Jews should have free access to Joseph's Tomb in Shechem (Nablus), but because the PA refuses to follow the agreement, every few weeks scores of Jews visit the tomb in the middle of the night - so as to minimize any impact...

Some nice news for a change.JIMENA, Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa, published a video of a portion of a Jewish wedding ceremony celebrating the bridegroom according to Syrian Jewish tradition that occurred in New York City.I'm not familiar with this responsive chant, but apparently this part is nearly identical to a traditional Syrian Muslim...

10/25 Links Pt2: The New Progressivism Makes No Room for Jews; How did a radical Islamist fool the West?; Adidas drops Kanye West

From Ian: The New Progressivism Makes No Room for Jews In 2016, as “intersectionality” escaped from academia to become a progressive buzzword—and came to to signify a doctrine that all just causes are linked and complementary—David L. Bernstein began to suspect that it was apt to be used against the Jews. As he pointed out in an article published that year, activists argued...

Last week, Arab media was filled with anger at news that the Jews of Hebron had taken over the Tomb of the Patriarchs and held a concert there on Sunday for the Selichot prayers.They emphasized that Muslims were not allowed into the building, insisting that this was unacceptable.But yesterday, no Jews were allowed into the same building. It was filled exclusively with Muslims....

Arab media says Yom Kippur curfew in Israel is meant to punish Arabs

Al-Akhbar says that Palestinians have to atone for Jewish sins on Yom Kippur, because the entire country virtually shuts down.It claims that even in Arab cities, "it is prohibited to drive vehicles or motorbikes, smoke shisha, grill meat, and operate loudspeakers throughout the city.” To Israel haters, Yom Kippur is all a malicious excuse to punish Arabs. "The enemy...

The latest desecrations of Al Aqsa

The latest is a video of a woman - it is unclear if she is a religious Jew - doing a little dance on the Temple Mount which someone edited the song "I'm Sexy and I Know it" on top.Tunisian journalist Imene Ben Slim tweeted the video, saying ,"Israeli woman dances provocatively in the courtyards...

US State Department Religious Freedom Report seems to OPPOSE religious freedom for Jews on the Temple Mount

The US State Department's 2021 Report on International Religious Freedom was recently released. It has quite a large section on Israel, much of it about religious coercion by Orthodox in Israel towards other denominations. But one theme on that and the West Bank/Gaza page was seemingly against religious freedom. When it discusses Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount,...

Today, Palestinian groups in the US are planning a "Day of Rage" protest outside the Israeli consulate in New York City:The purpose of the rally is to "stand against the Zionist settler invasion on Al Aqsa in Jerusalem Palestine."Which means to stop Jews from peacefully walking on Judaism's holiest site.

Qatari educational software teaches Arabs to hate Jews (MEMRI)

I've seen all kinds of Arab antisemitism, but I admit that this shocked even me. Any "pro-Palestinian" activist who claims to be against antisemitism but who doesn't condemn this is a hypocrite. Go ahead - ask them. We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend...

PIJ leader: "Palestine is land for all Muslims." Um, what about Christians?

An Islamic Jihad leader has condemned the Israeli airstrike that killed a member of his group this morning, in response to rocket fire. One of the things he said is interesting: Palestine is holy ground, a royal land, and it is not for the Palestinians only , but for all Muslims. Which brings up two questions: Has any Palestinian Christian leader ever expressed discomfort at being explicitly sidelined and dhimmified when Islamic Jihad and Hamas...

"Gas the Jews"

On Sunday, an IDF reserves captain spoke in Holland, and before he even said a word three protesters threw shoes at him. The venue for the speech had to be changed because the original hotel received threats about hosting it, and decided in that typically European way that anyone who threatens free speech is far more important than free speech itself. But one detail in the story that got overlooked by most media reporting it:According to Edelheit,...
