The two made their way through the Polish countryside and into their native country, where Rosenberg—taking...

Malki Roth is perhaps a name you’re sick of hearing, a stale story, an old story, the story of the Jewish girl who got blown up while eating pizza a LONG time ago. Even as you feel perhaps a pinch of guilt at your indifference, you say to yourself that it’s Israel’s fault in the first place that the woman who helped murder 15-year-old Malki is free. Which also makes the subject...

Back in 2015, the official Fatah Facebook page was taken down for encouraging terror. When the page came back, Fatah tried to be careful.

France's Liberation news site has an article on Mahmoud Abbas that agrees, in the headline, that he is an authoritarian.This has been obvious for years, but Western media has resisted saying it. It is based on an AFP interview from Monday of Nasser Kidwa, Yasir Arafat's nephew who was pushed out of Fatah by Abbas last year. “He does what he wants, without consideration...

The latest Arab Youth Survey indicates that as much as we would love to believe that access to the Internet has moderated the majority of Arab youth, it still isn't true.Far more Arab youth blames the Ukraine war on the US and NATO than on Russia.China, Turkey and Russia are considered their top three allies, while 88% say that Israel is an enemy of the Arab world, more...

09/27 Links: Israel's 'Peace Partner' Is Slaughtering Israelis; Rashida Tlaib’s absurd acid test; Qaradawi, who endorsed suicide bombings against Israelis, dies

From Ian: Khaled Abu Toameh: Israel's 'Peace Partner' Is Slaughtering Israelis These two bodies [Palestinian Authority (PA) and its ruling faction, Fatah] are headed by one man: Mahmoud Abbas, who has zero compunction about his loyalists murdering and wounding Israelis. On the contrary, he encourages it and pays generously for it -- with money from Europe and the United States. Despite...

Shana tova u'metuka 5783

Here is a Rosh Hashana greeting card asking that the New Year be a year of "liberation of holy places."According to one page of the National Library of Israel website, this card was created in 1967.Yet the Hebrew year on this card is 5700, which would make this card from 1939. That adds a real poignancy to this. Jews were always praying for the liberation of holy places...

Continuing on listing Mahmoud Abbas' lies at the UN on Friday.Since its inception, Israel has committed brutal crimes against our people, when it destroyed 529 Palestinian villages, expelled their residents from them during and after the 1948 war, and expelled 950,000 Palestinians, more than half of the Palestinian people at the time, from their homes, according to the records...

Continuing on exposing Mahmoud Abbas' lies in a single speech to the world...Moreover, the Israeli government allowed the formation of racist Jewish terrorist organizations that practice terrorism against our people, and provided them with protection as they attack the Palestinians and call for their expulsion from their homes. At the top of these terrorist organizations are...

As he does every year, Mahmoud Abbas gave an anti-Israel speech to the UN. And as with every other one on record, it was filled with lies.Here are some of them, based on the official speech (he sometimes ad libs outside the speech, often betraying more antisemitism...)I speak to you on behalf of more than fourteen million Palestinian people, whose parents and grandparents...
