Some tweets about the Paris kosher grocery hostage situation

In case you haven't been watching the news:
At least two people have been killed in a shooting at a kosher grocery in Porte de Vincennes, eastern Paris according to a police officer at the scene who spoke to the BBC.

However, there were conflicting reports and Bernard Cazeneuve, the French interior minister, has denied that there are any casualties at this stage.

France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor earlier confirmed that an armed man had taken at least five people hostage in the grocery, which is called Hyper Cacher. Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that police have blocked off the roads near the shop, and have surrounded the building. Nearby schools have been put into lockdown.

I'm not going to liveblog the horrible events going on in Paris at this moment. But here are some tweets I wrote, or retweeted, or responded to that have been getting attention:













Also see this from MEMRI:




UPDATE: From early reports, it looks like both hostage situations ended as well as could be hoped.

Official PA news believes the "exploding toothpaste" story

The official PA Wafa news agency "reports":
At least 135 Palestinian prisoners, held in Israeli jails, have been killed since 1967 due to torture or live fire shooting, according to a report published by the Prisoners' Center for Studies, a local group concerned with the issue of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons.

Whereas 72 prisoners were killed as a result of extreme torture, 74 others were deliberately shot dead by Israeli live fire after their apprehension, the report uncovered. Seven other prisoners, however, were killed after being treated with excessive force by the Israeli authorities.

Recent reports indicated that the Israel Prison Service had attempted to get rid of two prisoners, identified as Bashir Hroub and Haitham Salhia, by infusing poison into the Hroub's own toothpaste and into a cup of coffee for Salhia.

The center's chairman, Rafat Hamdona, said such attempts, as well as the killing of prisoners, is in contradiction with Article 85 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which stipulates that prisoners' lives are to be protected.
While this article in English says that the toothpaste was poisoned, in Arabic it says "explosive toothpaste." I reported on that accusation earlier this week.


Since the Prisoners' Center believes that Israel tries (and fails) at assassinating prisoners under its full control with James Bond-type methods - and they said that explicitly in their report - it becomes clear that the methodology of these "prisoners rights" organizations are, to put  it mildly, subpar.

And they are only one of the many such organizations that encourage prisoners to make wild accusations so they can write up reports using thee lies and attract more funding. Addameer and the Palestinian Ministry of Detainee Affairs and other organizations regularly pop up and issue bogus statistics. But even Addameer never said anything close to what this Al Arsa organization claims. Instead of saying that they were killed by gunshots, Addameer says that many were killed by "medical neglect."  That organization apparently counts every death from illness or natural causes as "medical neglect."

I once compared the mortality rates for Palestinian Arab prisoners since 1967 with those of the larger Palestinian population, and found that Palestinians are far less likely to die in Israeli custody than if they were free.

It is one thing for a random NGO to pop up and issue fake statistics. But when the PA publicizes them, then we see that the government itself has no compunction about making the most insane accusations.

Yet the Western media will never report on the pattern of lies and the complete untrustworthiness of Palestinian Arab officials. Instead, they will put them on TV and not even ask about their history of incitement and falsehoods.

Saeb Erekat says "settlements" are just as heinous as beheading people

From Ma'an:
Top PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat has called the ongoing expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank "terrorism," even making comparisons between Israel and the Islamic State militant group in Iraq and Syria.

"There is no difference between the terrorism practiced by the group led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Israel's terrorism," he said, referencing the leader of the IS group during a speech at a festival celebrating the Prophet Muhammad's birthday in Jericho on Monday.

He added that "ending settlement activities is a prerequisite for eliminating terrorism."
Funny. I don't think there is any difference between Saeb Erekat and Joseph Goebbels.

There has been nearly zero physical expansion of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria in over 25 years.  Moreover, when the argument suits him, Saeb Erekat himself admits that the settlements take up only 1.1% of the areas Palestinians want for a state.

Hebron man swims in ice water to express "solidarity" with suffering Syrians, Gazans

61-year old Ishaq Ayesh Abu Mayala decided to show his solidarity with Gazans and Syrians who are without shelter this winter by taking a swim in a small pool of ice water.



Reading a bit further into the reporting, we find out that Abu Mayala does this for fun all the time. But this particular swim was in solidarity with the poor Arabs of Gaza and Syria.

One other thing about this wonderful example of solidarity: None of the news stories I have read about it mentions the name of any charity that he is asking people to give money to. Nor do the stories say that he got sponsors for this event, a stunt that he would have done anyway.

This stunt was perhaps more symbolic than Abu Mayala intended.

Because he acted the way that Palestinian leaders act - valuing symbol over substance, preferring stunts over useful actions.

Just like his leaders, he did not help a single person - but he got a lot of publicity, which is all that really matters when you value symbols over substance..




01/08 Links Pt2: Official PA paper: Attempted murder is Palestinian “pride”; BDS is a failure

From Ian:
PMW: Attempted murder is Palestinian “pride,”‎ according to PA daily
On Dec. 25, 2014 a Palestinian terrorist stabbed two Israeli soldiers who were on a routine patrol in the Old City of Jerusalem, causing them light injuries. The stabbing was caught on a security video and was posted on the internet.
The bi-weekly supplement to the official Palestinian Authority daily, Al-Asima, published an article that glorified the terrorist who attempted the murder and expressed hope that this will be a precedent for future attacks against “the Zionists”:
"These kinds of confrontations which frighten the enemy are excellent Palestinian examples of willpower and determination to win... The video of the Palestinian storming and stabbing of Zionists serves as a school... Now, every Palestinian raises his hand holding a knife together with this young Palestinian, and stabs the Zionists."
Amb. Alan Baker: UN Approves PA for ICC
There is no doubt that the 2012 UN General Assembly Palestinian upgrade resolution was nothing more than a political expression of opinion by those states voting in favor. It was not a legal determination and could not create a Palestinian state, nor could it serve as a legal basis for determining that the Palestinians are a state, or for a depositary’s accepting them as such.
The same goes for the ICC prosecutor. Since the previous 2012 refusal by the former prosecutor to accept the 2009 Palestinian attempt to join the court, nothing has changed legally and therefore the court should not accept the Palestinians now only on the strength of the political upgrade resolution.
In view of the above, the acceptance by the Secretary General of the Palestinian request is legally flawed and was determined under false pretenses – “false” because there exists no sovereign Palestinian state, and “pretenses” because of the pretension by the Secretary General as if such a state exists when he is fully aware that there is no legal basis for this.
In light of the above, the Secretary General must revoke his communication and respond to the Palestinian request that after due examination, since they are not a sovereign state, they cannot, pursuant to the provisions of Art. 126(2) of the ICC statute, accede thereto.
US says Palestinians ineligible to join ICC
The spokesperson for the US State Department said Wednesday that the Obama administration does not consider the Palestinians eligible to join the International Criminal Court, as Palestine is not a sovereign state.
In a press briefing, Jen Psaki clarified the Washington’s position on Palestinian moves for membership in the ICC.
“The United States does not believe that the state of Palestine qualifies as a sovereign state and does not recognize it as such and does not believe that it is eligible to accede to the Rome Statute,” Psaki said. She noted that there are “legal aspects” to the issue that needed to be looked at.

Israeli group tells ICC that PA prime minister tortures his own people

Shurat HaDin filed complaints  to the ICC against Palestinian Authority prime minister Rami Hamdallah, and against the PA's intelligence chief Majid Faraj, accusing them of crimes against humanity.

But the complaints do not accuse them of doing anything bad to Israeli citizens. Rather, the complaints are about how they are responsible for torture in PA prisons!

THE COMPLAINTANT submits to the Prosecutor this communication concerning the criminal activities of Hamdallah, a citizen of Jordan who is simultaneously Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior of the Palestinian Authority. 
Hamdallah has engaged in conduct in violation of Articles 7 (1) f) and 28 (2) of the Rome Statute. Hamdallah is criminally liable for the rampant torture undertaken by the Protective Security Service of the Ministry of the Interior because he is the superior official in overall charge of the Ministry of the Interior and of the Protective Security Service.
So Shurat HaDin is accusing them of crimes against fellow Arabs, not against Israelis!

A third complaint, against Jibril Rajoub, indeed accuses him of crimes against humanity for being responsible for rocket fire against Israelis.

I admit that this part surprised me:

The Court has jurisdiction ratione personæ because Hamdallah is a citizen of Jordan. The Court may exercise its jurisdiction over all acts committed by the citizen of a state party to the court, wherever those acts are committed.4 Jordan is a member state of the Court.5

Hamdallah is a citizen of Jordan because he was born in Anabta, in the Tulkarem District, in the West Bank, on August 10, 1958. Jordan controlled the West Bank at that time. Hamdallah is a Jordanian citizen under Jordanian law because he was born in an area under Jordanian control and is not Jewish.8 In 1954, the Jordanian Parliament extended citizenship to all non-Jews born or resident in all areas then under Jordanian control, including the West Bank. 9,10 The Jordanian Parliament has never repealed these statutes.11

The Court thus has jurisdiction ratione personæ over Hamdallah.
I know that many prominent West Bank Palestinians managed to retain their Jordanian citizenship after 1988 when Jordan disengaged from the area, but my impression was that most of them lost their citizenship then - or lost it by default as they no longer had national numbers, with which Jordanian citizens obtain services. Its footnote points to an HRW paper that shows that the legal basis for Jordan's actions are murky at best. The legal validity of Jordan seeming to remove nationality from all West Bank Jordanians is an interesting topic in itself.

01/08 Links Pt1: Charlie Hebdo stood alone. What does that say about our ‘free’ press?

From Ian:
Netanyahu: Israel is standing by Europe, Europe must stand by Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Norwegian Foreign Minister Børge Brende on Thursday, saying that the same forces that are attacking Europe are attacking Israel.
Speaking a day after gunmen killed 12 people in a terror attack in Paris, Netanyahu said, "Israel is standing by Europe. Europe must stand by Israel." The comment also came on the backdrop of a number of European parliaments voting on resolutions in support of recognizing a Palestinian state in recent months.
Netanyahu said that while Israel and the West cherish freedom and tolerance, radical Islam worships tyranny and terror. "They seek to impose a new dark age on humanity."
The prime minister condemned the "butchery" of the Paris attack and expressed sympathy with the government and people of France.
David Horovitz: The first step toward defeating Islamist terrorism
Speaking to Israeli television from Paris on Wednesday night, hours after gunmen shouting “Allahu Akbar” had shot dead 12 people at the offices of the “Charlie Hebdo” satirical magazine, the French-Jewish parliamentarian Meyer Habib called the massacre France’s 9/11.
When Islamist killers targeted Jews in Toulouse in 2012 and Brussels last year, Habib recalled, “we warned that this would come to all of France. And to our sorrow it came…. We are in a fight,” he elaborated, “against jihadism, against this darkness.”
After four British-raised Muslims killed 52 civilians and injured 700 in coordinated bombings in London on July 7, 2005, numerous commentators and analysts likened that assault, too, to the Al-Qaeda attacks on America in 2001. But if that was Britain’s 9/11, it didn’t bring sufficient clarity of thought to the struggle against Islamist terrorism. It didn’t open enough eyes. Too many Britons, including too many leaders and policymakers, preferred a mixture of stoicism and denial to the imperative of rigorously confronting Islamic extremism. Too many preferred to blame prime minister Tony Blair for ostensibly inviting that day’s murders, including through his purportedly over-cozy relationship with the reviled George W. Bush and his backing of Israel. That was all far more convenient than acknowledging that Britain had a colossal problem with homegrown Islamic extremism, whipped up by British-based Islamic spiritual (mis)leaders. Almost a decade later, Britain has still failed to adequately tackle the rise of Islamist extremism at home, with a consequent stream of plots and attacks, and a flow of misguided young Muslims joining the ranks of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
The question is whether France, Britain and the rest of Europe, in the aftermath of Wednesday’s assault — a more calculated and specific attack than the indiscriminate murders in London — will now muster a more energetic, coordinated and effective response.
Douglas Murray: Charlie Hebdo stood alone. What does that say about our ‘free’ press?
And the left-wing Charlie Hebdo will be abandoned now even more than the right-wing Jyllands Posten was back then.  People will come up with various excuses, but in truth they won’t publish because they are afraid.  The remaining staff of Charlie Hebdo could hardly be more alone.
There is only one way in which this couldn’t remain the case: if tomorrow, or some day this week every newspaper and magazine in Europe, the front-page of the BBC and Channel 4 News websites and every other major news site simultaneously published a set of Charlie Hebdo’s depictions of Mohammed among others. I put this suggestion to the BBC today during an interview and was told by the presenter that ‘in fairness’ to the BBC they had earlier retweeted Charlie Hebdo’s recent cartoon of ISIS’s leader al-Baghdadi. Which, of course, isn’t quite the same thing. Some readers may recall that during the Danish cartoon affair Channel 4 ran a live programme on freedom of speech which included a live vote as to whether or not Channel 4 should show the cartoons. The public voted that they should. And then Channel 4 unilaterally decided to ignore the public’s wishes and would not show the cartoons.
It was around the same time that Ayaan Hirsi Ali put it best. She suggested in the wake of the Danish cartoons affair that ‘we have to spread the risk.’ But the free press didn’t spread it around then. And I very much doubt that they will now. I know all the arguments. I know the fears – that someone from the typing pool or on the front desk will be the target. I’ve heard every possible argument over the years.
And that is why I can safely say that the free press will fail this latest test too. For all its historic traditions, its self back-slapping for its alleged ‘bravery’ and so on, there are only a couple of tiny outcrops of freedom. The rest of the vast, powerful, fearless, outspoken tradition that is the Western press is too intimidated to publish a single cartoon that might conveivably provoke a Muslim.
This is what it looks like to lose a freedom. Not many people will care today. But they will tomorrow, or another day in the future.

On cartoons and censorship

An argument that we see, even now, from Muslims arguing for censorship of offensive cartoons is that since Europe has laws against things like Holocaust denial, which are meant to protect the feeling of Jews, then there should be similar laws to protect the feelings of Muslims.

There is a huge difference, though.

Laws against hate speech, whether you agree with them or not, are meant to stop incitement against the the objects of the speech.  There is a fairly short line between Holocaust denial and publicly calling for a new Holocaust.

The offensive Mohammed cartoons, though, create little danger for Muslims. The only people in danger are those who create and distribute the offensive essays or speeches or cartoons. 

 Censorship of antisemitism protects Jews from being killed. Censorship of "Islamophobia" is meant to protect the censors from being killed. That is a huge difference.

It has been most comically illustrated in 2012 by the New York Daily News.

In 2012, the New York Daily News illustrated a background story on the Charlie Hebdo story of the "Mohammed" issue with this censored image:


Here's the original:


The man in the wheelchair is not Mohammed; he is a Muslim saying "must not mock" in a reference to the movie "Intouchables" where a rich quadriplegic is taken care of by an unconventional Algerian man.

The cover is not offensive by even any Muslim yardstick. It does not show any prophets or anything that may not be depicted in Islam. It just shows a stereotypical religious Jew and Muslim. If it is offensive, it is equally offensive to Muslims and Jews.

Then why did the New York Daily News decide to censor only the Muslim character? Why would Muslims be more offended at this cartoon than Jews?

The reason is obvious. The newspaper then, just as now, is afraid of what extremist Muslims might do to them - but they are not afraid of what extremist Jews might do. Since crazy Jews aren't nearly as dangerous as crazy Muslims.

Censorship to protect the lives of an innocent group may or may not be proper in different circumstances, but there is a moral component to it. Self-censorship by news media of the news itself to avoid being the target of attack is inherently immoral because it means that news coverage is being colored by self-preservation. 

It means that the terrorists in Paris, just like those in Gaza last summer and Lebanon in 2006 and Syria/Iraq today, have free rein on deciding what may not get reported.

Any news organization that continues to censor the Charlie Hebdo images is exhibiting cowardice - and is suspect as to how objective the rest of their coverage is.

Egypt to move entire town to create buffer zone

From Ma'an:
The Egyptian authorities have decided to remove the city of Rafah on the borders with the Gaza Strip completely, says the governor of North Sinai district Abd al-Fattah Harhour.

In a news conference Wednesday, Harhour said it would be necessary to remove Rafah city completely in order to create a buffer zone on the borders with the Gaza Strip.

“A new Rafah city is being established with residential zones appropriate to the nature and traditions of the residents of Rafah.”

He confirmed that engineering units have already been asked to start work on the new city.

The governor’s remarks came ahead of the second stage of evacuation of Rafah houses in preparation to create a buffer zone between Egypt and Gaza. According to the original plan, 1,220 houses were slated for evacuation.

Some 2,044 families live in those houses.
I couldn't find this story on major Egyptian sites, although it was in BBC Arabic.

I couldn't find out the population of Rafah altogether; from looking at Google maps and comparing it to Rafah in Gaza I would guess about 10,000 people live there. Here's part of it showing that already there is a lot of empty space on the border with Gaza.


I haven't yet heard from the Egyptian Committee Against House Demolitions. Perhaps because it doesn't exist.

I also haven't seen any starry-eyed university students volunteering to be human shields to stand between bulldozers and the houses.

On a more serious note, I had been a little skeptical about Egypt's claims of massive support of Sinai jihadists from Gaza jihadists and Hamas. After all, the weapons have been smuggled through Sinai to Gaza, it seems odd that they would be smuggled back, unless Egypt has made great progress in stopping weapons smuggling routes from Libya and Sudan.

However, it seems less likely that Egypt would move an entire town for show.

CNN anchor Jim Clancy has a bizarre meltdown on Twitter (and calls me "anti-Muslim")


Jim Clancy, a CNN correspondent and anchor for international affairs, made a slightly strange observation about the Charlie Hebdo cartoons:


Oren Kessler showed that Clancy was wrong:

I joined in, saying that my collection of cartoons included some that  clearly mocked Mohammed, and Clancy dismissed me:




So I posted one that I hadn't placed on my blog from Charlie Hebdo because of its content and asked for how he viewed that one:




Clancy didn't answer directly, but he then wrote this tweet:

What does being pro-Israel have to do with this discussion? Clearly Clancy thinks that it is relevant, between his "hasbara" tweet earlier and this one to me. It becomes a little clearer later.

I answered:




Meanwhile, Clancy tweeted:



When another tweeter responded to my previous tweet, Clancy again tried to bring Israel into the discussion:


Say what?

At the same time, another user responded to Clancy's "Pro-Israel voice" tweet, and Clancy yet again tried to turn this into a "hasbara" issue:




Some antisemite named "JewsMaking News" was polluting the thread with Jew-hating comments. Clancy seems to think that "JewsMakingNews"is a false flag hasbara operation, presumably because there aren't any real antisemites in the planet tweeting so Jews have to make them up. (He has since removed this tweet.)





A number of people pointed out to Clancy that I'm approaching 13,000 followers on Twitter, and wondering whether his disregard for simple facts reflects on his news gathering abilities.

And then: (He deleted this tweet this morning)





There you have it. I'm anti-Muslim because I'm pro-Israel, I'm a PR flack for Israel and I am against human rights. And anti-semites are simply Israeli  false flags to get better PR.

He figured all of that out just from a few of my tweets about Charlie Hebdo!

I responded:









At the same time, many people went after Clancy for his meltdown. He may have deleted some of his more ridiculous tweets too. He blocked numerous tweeters as well. There are some very funny sub-threads from people who were incredulous at how Clancy was acting.

I did not see any of his 50,000 followers come to his defense during this meltdown.

Clancy went on to other topics and didn't respond to me any more.

But this was really something. Besides showing himself to be remarkably unprofessional, Jim Clancy revealed that he has an interesting preconception that Zionists are reflexively anti-Muslim and anti- human rights.

As a postscript: I had reported last month that the Jordanian Media Institute - which receives funds from some major NGOs and governments - had prominently praised a terrorist on one of its websites as a role model for journalists. 

Guess who spoke at the terrorist-loving JMI?

01/07 Links Pt2: Hillel Neuer on U.N. Commission of Inquiry; 2014: The Year of the IDF Soldier

From Ian:
UN Watch: Hillel Neuer on U.N. Commission of Inquiry
In March 2015, the United Nations (U.N.) Independent Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza conflict will release its report to the U.N. Human Rights Council. Read below for an in-depth analysis from leading expert, Hillel Neuer.
Q: On July 23, the U.N. Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) adopted a resolution to set up a commission of inquiry that accuses Israel of potential war crimes, hate crimes and indiscriminate attacks on Palestinians. However, the report fails to mention Hamas. Moreover, it only makes a passing mention of Israeli deaths from rocket fire during the recent fighting, without specifying who fired the rockets. Can a commission of inquiry with this mandate write a fair and balanced report of what is happening in Gaza?
NEUER: No, the commission was born in prejudice, and is shaped by it. The choice of William Schabas, a longtime anti-Israel activist, embodies this prejudice. The resolution that created the commission takes for granted that Israel was in breach of its international obligations. It created a commission of inquiry to investigate war crimes in Gaza "in the context of the military operations conducted since June 13, 2014,”which the preamble defined as being those by Israel, and which it condemned as "grave violations.” The context not chosen was the Hamas aggression against Israel. The EU refused to support the one-sided text, correctly saying it was "unbalanced, inaccurate and prejudges the outcome of the investigation by making legal statements.”
John Bolton: How the Palestinian Authority Could Stop Obama’s Penchant for Internationalism
On the other hand, since our assessed contribution was 22 percent of the agency’s budget, the loss of US funding was devastating to UNESCO. The Obama administration’s repeated efforts to weaken the legislative prohibitions have all failed.
The potential consequences for the entire UN system are enormous if PA memberships continue to grow. Many Americans already don’t want to be in the United Nations, or to pay our current assessment levels, and would welcome automatic defunding.
Even if Washington lost its UN General Assembly vote for nonpayment, it wouldn’t lose its vote — and veto — in the Security Council. America’s vote is written into the UN Charter, which can’t be amended unless (among other things) the United States itself consents.
As for the ICC, America is not a party. In my happiest moment of government service, I informed the United Nations that we were “unsigning” the Rome Statute.
And while the ICC thus faces no direct funding implications, the PA most definitely does. Under US law, America’s support to the PA (about $400 million a year) ceases if the PA presses to join the ICC.
On the other hand, ICC advocates have longed to persuade the Obama administration to reject the Bush position and re-sign the Rome Statute. But the Senate would then still have to ratify the treaty — and the chances of success there fall to zero if the PA becomes a party.
In short, these likely consequences of the PA’s efforts should spur the administration to intense efforts to prevent the Palestinians from marauding their way through the UN.
But who knows? The ultimate irony could well be that the obsessively multilateralist Obama administration winds up presiding over one of the greatest debacles for international organizations since the Senate rejected Woodrow Wilson’s Versailles Treaty.
And we’d have the Palestinian Authority to thank for it.
Inside Account: How Anti-Israel Resolutions Were Defeated at American Historical Association
The rejection of the resolutions also rested on a reassertion of the principle that the AHA is a scholarly, not a political organization and that there is a difference between scholarship and politics. Historians as citizens have multiple other forum in which to express our views on public matters.
The vote yesterday was, for me, an assertion that many of us oppose efforts to use academic organizations to promote political purposes. It was a vote against the politicization of the AHA.
The fight to oppose the politicization of the universities is not over.
Yet thanks to the efforts of many people, especially in the past year or two, the American Historical Association will not be issuing resolutions denouncing Israel in 2015.
In this effort two mid-career historians, David Greenberg of Rutgers University and Sharon Musher, of Stockton College in New Jersey brought courage and their talents as historians to bear. They played an especially important role.
HAW and BDS activists may learn not to repeat their tactical blunders of recent months. They are not going away. But after their defeat at the AHA, their task has become far more difficult.
In the AHA, January 4, 2015 was one case in which good arguments and careful preparation about matters of fact produced a result as welcome as it was unexpected.


Another UNRWA teacher who is a fan of Hitler

The quote, which seems fake, says "Inside every human being that you know, there is a beast that you do not know."

It was originally posted on an Arabic Facebook account called "Hitler quotes that rocked humanity."
