The shopping malls of Jenin show the "despair" of the youth

News articles like to talk about how the youth of Jenin and other places are so desperate, so hopeless, how they have nothing to look forward to in their miserable lives except death as martyrs. These news stories never show photos of the malls of Jenin.The Jenin City Center Mall has an array of high-end shops.A cosmetics store features a brand new Barbie photo booth...

Terrorists covering streets in camps with tarps to hide their movements from drones

From Palestine Times:When you cross the long market street in Balata camp, east of Nablus, you can hardly see the sky, after the resistance fighters, with the help and initiative of the youth of the camp, covered the main streets and alleys with plastic sheets and fabrics. This is done in order to protect the resistance fighters, facilitate their movement, and reduce the possibility...

A @NYTimes essay by @TareqBaconi justifies, and ultimately cheers, murdering Israeli civilians

How many ways can one minimize and then legitimize terror attacks against Jews?Tareq Baconi, former senior analyst for Israel/Palestine at the International Crisis Group and the author of “Hamas Contained” who is now president of the board of al-Shabaka, the Palestinian Policy Network, displays a lot of them in New York Times guest essay.Purportedly an analysis of Jenin,...

Amnesty and HRW won't say a word about this Jenin war crime

Times of Israel reported on Monday:The Israel Defense Forces says troops located hidden underground storage sites with weapons and explosives inside a mosque in the West Bank city of Jenin.After lengthy gun battles with armed Palestinians who were holed up inside the mosque, Israeli forces managed to break in, the IDF says.The IDF says that on the ground floor, troops found...

The double standard: Only Palestinians are allowed to be angry

There is a subtext behind all reporting out of Israel. This subtext is both bigoted against Arabs and antisemitic at its core - at the same time. And it is a subtext that is accepted not only by the media but by many Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs as well.The unwritten rule of all media coverage is that only Arabs are allowed to be angry. Only Arabs are allowed to act...

As usual, Palestinians celebrate. The murderers are treated as victims. "Human rights" groups are silent. Jewish lives don't matter.

It is a depressingly familiar scene:Four Israelis were killed and another four were wounded in a shooting attack by two terrorists at a gas station outside of the West Bank settlement of Eli on Tuesday afternoon. "Two terrorists entered a restaurant near the gas station [where they] shot and killed three civilians. They then came out and fatally shot a civilian...

UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese again says that Jews do not deserve human rights

There was a most interesting communication between Israel's Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli and Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian territories.Albanese had recently tweeted that "Israel has a right to defend itself, but can't claim it when it comes to the people it oppresses/whose lands it colonizes." The...

UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese justifies the murder of the Dee sisters. In fact, @FrancesKAlbs justifies ALL Palestinian murders of Jews worldwide.

EU High Representative Josep Borrell issued a press release about the latest escalations of violence in Israel:The EU is deeply concerned by the grave escalation of violence in recent days in Israel, the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Lebanon.Last night again, deadly terrorist attacks have occurred in Tel Aviv, one of them killing an Italian tourist. The EU expresses...

Even the most "moderate" Palestinians support shooting Jewish civilians

The shooting of David Stern as he drove with his family today resulted, as always, with great celebrations by Palestinians. Here a crowd goes to his house to celebrate.And here are the obligatory fireworks celebrating the shooting of a Jew.But, you may say, these are only the extremists. Certainly normal, sober Palestinians support shooting random Jewish civilians.Well,...

ISIS op-ed: "Kill the Jews"

I had missed this last month, but MEMRI and the Meir Amit Center both reported that the ISIS newspaper Al Naba had an op-ed whose title was literally "Kill the Jews."I found the original, and it is just as hateful as you would imagine.God Almighty has shown the characteristics of the unbelieving Jews in many verses of His wise book, and described them in detail and accurately,...

Poll: Palestinians think their suffering is unique in world history, and this justifies terror

In December, the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research and Tel Aviv University carried out a joint opinion survey of Palestinians and Israelis, asking them similar questions to compare their opinions. These joint polls have been happening for years, and they are very valuable in comparing both sides' opinions of the peace process or a two state solution.There...

The most progressive, liberal, Westernized Palestinians support murdering Jews

Up until Friday night's terror attack in Jerusalem, Mahmoud Abbas usually condemned terror attacks like that - usually at the urging of the US. This time, he didn't.And the Palestinian intelligentsia who are the face of Palestinians to the Western world got the memo. Yesterday, we mentioned how angry Noura Erakat was that a TV producer wanted to interview her and...

"Human rights lawyer" Noura Erakat justifies murdering Jewish civilians - and Palestinian bloodlust

There was a very revealing thread by academic fraud Noura Erakat, who calls herself a "human rights lawyer:"Palestinians under siege, subject to killing by world’s 11th most powerful army & deputized settlers but news producers want me to come on air to comment on Palestinians celebrating the killing of 9 Israeli settlers? Why this pathology of Palestinians and apology...

There is a relationship between Zionism and modern Islamic antisemitism

Former HRW head Ken Roth and other haters of Israel like to claim that antisemitic attacks by Muslims to Jews are often a response to Israel's actions, and therefore Israeli actions is partially responsible for those antisemitic attacks.There is a tiny grain of truth there, but the modern antisemites are looking at the issue from the wrong angle.We need to have a short overview...
