Today I visited the burial place of Shmuel HaNavi (Samuel) outside Jerusalem. The site was recognized by the Byzantines also as a holy site, with ruins outside showing where Samuel himself walked as well as a massive Byzantine church that once covered the area.Last Friday night, the Jewish synagogue that houses the actual tomb-area was vandalized by Arabs, with much damage...
Today I had the opportunity to visit the Kotel Katan, a small part of the Western Wall that can be reached only by walking through the labyrith of streets in the Muslim Quarter. At no point did I feel unsafe walking there with my family.There were two bored Israeli guards watching the area, and absolutely no one else was there. Since it appears that the Kotel Katan is even...

A very revealing insight in an op-ed in Arabic Maan News (autotranslated):The words of the need Umm Khalil are identical to the words of journalist Ashraf the Marsh, Group in the newspaper "Jerusalem Arabi", which emphasized that what is happening now is a real tragedy and a national disaster, "not because there is internecine killings, between brothers, but because that constitutes a real threat to the Palestinian issue, whilst Israel is free to...

I haven't been able to blog much, but as the headlines show, the PalArabs are back to their normal state of killing each other.Given the JPost's numbers of 25 killed since Thursday, plus one killed Sunday in Beit Hanoun, our counts of PalArabs violently killed by each other has soared to 267 since Summer Rains and an astonishing 62 since the beginning of this year.One of my dumber commenters accused me of celebrating whenever PalArabs are killed...

After a couple of weeks of barely controlled violence between them, Hamas and Fatah have gone back to their normal ways of killing each other. Gaza - Ma'an - Renewed clashes between the rival Fatah and Hamas movements broke out in the northern Gaza Strip on Friday morning. In the last 24 hours, three Palestinians have been killed in internal fighting (one from Fatah and two from Hamas), seven injured - including two children - and fourteen Palestinians...

Palestinian Arabs have so far been guilty, as far as I can tell, of 100% of the crimes that they routinely falsely accuse Jews of committing. This is what is known as "projection" and it happens a lot.The latest example is that the Palestinian Muslims are stealing Palestinian Christians' land. (Sorry, Jonathan Cook, you have been proven a moron yet again.)A number of Christian families have finally decided to break their silence and talk openly about...

I've mentioned Arabs who saved Jews from the Holocaust before. Now Yad Vashem is set to honor one of them:An Arab who saved the lives of two dozen Jews during the Holocaust is about to receive an unprecedented honour from Israel. Khaled Abdelwahhab, a wealthy Tunisian landowner, is poised to become the first Arab to be celebrated as a Righteous Gentile.The award, presented by Yad Vashem, the Holocaust remembrance authority, is granted to non-Jews...

One of the truisms about the PalArab media is that if there is the slightest chance that Israel was involved in the death of an Arab, Israel will be blamed immediately and without any second thought.But if there is no way to blame Israel, then the person will have died under "mysterious circumstances."Here's a good example, where a man arrested by Hamas three days ago somehow died. Hamas says it was a heart attack.Contrast this with this report of...

Sorry, but given a choice of blogging or touring the Holy Land, I gotta go with the Eretz Option.The Elders are staying in the beautiful Jerusalem neighborhood of Bakah, which isn't touristy at all but is very charming, if a bit out of the way. So I won't have time for too much over the next couple of week...

The Socialist Party in Norway announced a boycott of Israel last year.Since then, imports have increased by 15%. This sort of thing seems to happen a lo...

It appears that an Israeli company is selling vodka with a picture of Jerusalem on it.And in the picture of Jerusalem one of the buildings has a large dome.This seems to be a problem, according to Maan News Arabic (autotranslated):The Aqsa Institution for Reconstructing Islamic sanctities strongly condemned an Israeli firm marketing wine bottles bearing the image of the Dome of the Rock mosque and the city of Jerusalem and is considered a violation...

I started reading "Power, Faith, and Fantasy: America in the Middle East 1776 to the Present" by Michael Oren. It will be a while before I finish it and review it completely, but so far it seems to be an incredible book, meticulously researched, describing America's involvement in the Middle East.From an early article about this book I was inspired to look up George Bush,...

Israel's defense minister Amir Peretz said two interesting, and utterly embarrassing, things at the Herzliya conference:"Every Palestinian contact that recognizes Israel, I see as a partner in negotiations - even if we're speaking of Hamas."The naivete and wishful thinking that is revealed in this statement is overwhelming.The idea of "recognition" is becoming as popular as the idea of a "peace process," a castle in the clouds. Just because Abbas...

At the El-Bashiti wedding in Khan Younis, Gaza last Thursday, one of the happy celebrants lost control of his assault rifle. He killed the groom's brother and injured three others, including one of those ubiqitous "security officers" and two teenage boys.This is of course not unusual in the peaceful land of Palestan: I have documented a few other wedding manslaughters. But it is no big deal - because these people weren't killed by Israelis, no one...

Elder of Ziyon - حـكـيـم صـهـيـون



This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For 20 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
