"For Palestine, I'd lie all the time" - Yasir Arafat

Yasir Arafat is often quoted to have said, “I am ready to kill for the sake of my cause; wouldn't I lie for it?”I couldn't find a reliable source for this quote. However, as I was looking, I did find another where Arafat freely admitted to lying.It is quoted in a 1998 biography of Arafat by Said Aburish, "Arafat : From Defender to Dictator." In Tunisia in 1987, [Arafat]...

An Arab account of June 1967 describes their confidence and crushing humiliation. And bigotry.

Nablus in the 1960sExcerpts from a story in Rai al Youm from a girl who witnessed the Six Day War in Nablus:Sirens are blaring and my father is screaming and ordering us to go to the shelter.The shelter is a garage at the bottom of the house, and we put some necessities in it like first aid and some food and water..President Gamal Abdel Nasser told us that we will be victorious...

The "extreme right wing Israeli government, left wing Supreme Court" narrative has been upended

Something happened this week that completely contradicts everything you've been reading about the current Israeli government - and the High Court.From Haaretz:The Supreme Court should reject a petition demanding the eviction of residents of the Palestinian village of Khan al-Ahmar, because the eviction involves “diplomatic and security considerations” that should be made by...

Last week I noted that Palestinian militants seem to have a mass histrionic personality disorder, where they revel in getting attention and feeling relevant at any expense.Palestinian media exaggerates the effects of relatively minor incidents to feel more important and relevant. And we see it again today.The Jerusalem Post reports:An Israeli man in his 20s was moderately...

He wrote an op-ed supporting judicial reform. So Haaretz fired him.

Earlier this week, Daled Amos wrote about how Haaretz has dropped all pretense of journalism and objectivity, based on my tweet of a letter from Haaretz's publisher Amos Schocken:Dear Haaretz reader,Despite the hopes – and votes – of nearly half of Israel's electorate, Benjamin Netanyahu won Israel's last election and, since taking office as prime minister, he has spun into...

The Western media is filled with images of the IDF "invading" Palestinian cities and with statistics about how high the Palestinian casualty count in the West Bank is this year compared to previous years. The impression from the media is an inversion of the truth, where the IDF is portrayed as acting out of blind revenge while the Palestinians are helpless.Palestinian media...

From Ian: A tale of two narratives At the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict lies a clash of two narratives. On the one hand the stirring, fact-based Zionist narrative, on the other, the openly conceded fabricated “Palestinian” narrative—which as one senior PLO official openly admitted “serves only tactical purposes”, and whose sole purpose is to function as “a new...

"Palestine" is nothing more than a weapon

During the UN partition negotiations in 1947, the Arab side said they wanted a single Arab state. When that didn't fly, they said they wanted am Arab state that would protect Jewish rights. And when the partition vote passed, within hours, Arabs attacked Jews on the streets, showing how much they would have respected those Jewish rights. Meanwhile, as I reported this...

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese's report to the UN is Soviet-level anti-Zionist propaganda

I've seen bias from the UN before, but I don't recall ever seeing a document that looks like it was written by a hardened Israel hater. The reports usually at least pretend to be unbiased. Not this one.Francesca Albanese, UN "Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967," issued a report in September that apparently...
