News you won't read in the @NYTimes: Israel investing $560 million in Arab areas of Jerusalem

From Israel Hayom last week: The Israeli government on Thursday unveiled what it billed as a groundbreaking program to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in long-neglected Palestinian neighborhoods of east Jerusalem. The "Leading Change" program aims to reduce the huge social gaps between the Arab and Jewish populations in the capital. Palestinian neighborhoods...

Bahrain House of Representatives, and many organizations, condemn dancing Jews

The backlash from the videos of Jewish Americans dancing in Bahrain keeps snowballing. A dozen "civil society" institutions condemned the dancing, saying: The visit of this delegation was provocative and the accompanying dances to the music of Talmudic songs called for the establishment of the temple on the ruins of Al-Aqsa Mosque, in front of historic Bab Al Bahrain...

One of George Soros' grantees engages in Holocaust denial

A great catch from the Tayara Herzl blog based on a story I posted earlier: Holocaust-denying articles have been popping up on El Badil, an Egyptian news site. But, as Elder of Ziyon notes: Part one denies that Jews are a people altogether, claims that Ashkenazic Jews are Khazars, Part two says that the Jews use the myth of being called “the chosen people” to manipulate...

Macmillan geography textbook filled with anti-Israel lies: "Jews were first modern terrorists," Palestinian terror justified (updated)

Here are the first paragraphs of a section on terrorism written in the textbook World Regional Geography (with Subregions), 4th edition by Lydia Mihelic Pulsipher, Alex Pulsipher, and Conrad M. Goodwin, published by Macmillan: This section seems to be gone from the 6th edition. Seriously? The first modern terrorist attack in the Middle East was done by...

In a largely good article, the NYT can't resist throwing in some anti-Israel lies

Diaa Hadid in the New York Times has written some surprisingly good articles in recent weeks. Earlier this week she wrote one about how Israeli doctors, through the Save a Child's Heart program, saved the life of an Afghan boy in Pakistan with a heart defect. I've written about SACH in the past and even visited them. It is a great organization that is happy to help whenever...

Mahmoud Abbas forges agreement with war criminal Omar al-Bashir

Omar al-Bashir, the president of Sudan, is the only sitting head of state to be indicted by the International Criminal Court, on five counts of crimes against humanity (murder, extermination, forcible transfer, torture and rape.) This week, the government of Mahmoud Abbas, in its weekly cabinet meeting, announced: The Council welcomed the agreement between Mr. President,...

Hamas takes away recreation land from Gazans to reward terrorists

Al Soava is a set of sandy hills right outside Rafah that residents have turned into a recreation area. Kids fly kites and run up and down the dunes as families picnic. Vendors go around selling toys, snacks and drinks for the people taking a break. It is apparently the only open space easily accessible to residents of Rafah. Hamas has started to flatten the dunes...

Abbas says allowing Jews to visit the Temple Mount is a "red line"

The official Palestinian Wafa news agency reports: The head of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas spoke about the need to stop violations against Al Aqsa Mosque, stressing that it is a red line that can not be tolerated in the face of the suffering of daily attacks and violations by the occupation forces and settlers. The PA Ministry of Information says that any Jews...

UNRWA releases, and buries, report on Lebanese Palestinian poverty

UNRWA together with the American University of Beirut released a 240 page report on the situation of Palestinians in Lebanon, both the population that has been there since 1948 and the more recent refugees from Syria. While it correctly mentions the institutionalized discrimination against them, it obscures one important point: More than 67 years after their initial presence...

Al Masry al Youm is a well-respected, independent newspaper in Egypt. It is considered liberal and it appeals to Arab intellectuals. Part of the reason it was founded in 2002 was as a reaction to the tabloid-type sensationalist stories in other Egyptian media. It is the 20th most popular website in Egypt. It also has an English edition called Egypt Independent. On Monday,...

Book Review: Religion, Politics and the Origins of Palestine Refugee Relief

Religion, Politics and the Origins of Palestine Refugee Relief Asaf Romirowsky & Alexander H. Joffe This is a meticulously researched book that concentrates on a very small bit of history: the time period from 1948-50 when the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker group, was organizing refugee relief in Gaza. Before UNRWA, the UN created the United Nations Relief...

On Wednesday morning, Hamas reportedly arrested Mohammed Ghazi Khitab, Isaac Ibrahim Abdullah Hussein, Shadi Alslol, Hatem Yousef Mohammed Hasanat, and Mohammed Abdul Rahman Ibrahim Mattar.

From Miriam Goodman on Facebook: Now this is Israel...and her people! Following an announcement that there was no minyan (quorum) to accompany Holocaust survivor Fernand Pavel Klitz, a survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, hundreds of people came to his funeral. They came from all over the country . Secular, religious and ultra-Orthodox. Old and young. School children The...

One of the cartoons winning an award in Iran's Holocaust cartoon contest There was a joke that Jews told each other during the Holocaust: An antisemite claimed that the Jews had caused the war; the reply was: Yes, the Jews and the bicyclists. Why the bicyclists? Asks the one? Why the Jews? asks the other. I was reminded of this by the announcement of the latest Iranian...

Daniel Seidemann is a left-wing expert on Jerusalem who heads Terrestrial Jerusalem, an NGO that (in partnership with Peace Now) documents everything that happens in the holy city that could, in its view, jeopardize the peace process. Seidemann was upset at Bibi Netanyahu saying that Jerusalem will remain under Jewish control. Netanyahu yesterday: I support 2...

Egypt's Al Ahram publishes part 5 of antisemitic series

I have been talking about Ali Gad's series of articles at Al Ahram, Egypt's most highly circulated newspaper. He is pretending to prove that Jews have been plotting to take over the world since Talmudic times. Part 4 was published last week, and Ali Gad said that Jews orchestrated World War II and other wars for economic reasons. In part 5, published today, Gad says [Jews]...

One of the advisors for the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel is NYU sociologist Andrew Ross. It is no surprise to find out that Ross is yet another academic fraud. It took me about two minutes to find this among his writings for an academic labor journal: The recent ugly backlash against the American Studies Association’s (ASA) decision...
