Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News

A year ago, everyone assumed Hezbollah would kill thousands of Israelis with missiles blanketing the state. Israel's dismantling of their capabilities is incredible.

Before 2023, it was widely assumed that any full scale war between Israel and Hezbollah would result in massive casualties in Israel and destruction of critical infrastructure/

Hezbollah's late leader Hassan Nasrallah himself threatened that it would attack ammonium nitrate storage in Haifa that would kill tens of thousands; Israel's Dimona nuclear facilities intended to cause massive radiation poisoning, and said several times that its missiles could reach all of Israel down to Eilat. Any war with Israel that involved Iran and Hezbollah, Nasrallah said, would end in Israel being wiped out.

Nasrallah reiterated these threats in August 2023:

I say to this enemy, if you go to war against Lebanon, you also will be returned to the Stone Age. Your civilian airports, military airports, air force bases, power plants, the water [desalination] plants, central communication centers, refineries and the reactor in Dimona… Can the enemy calculate how many precise missiles Hezbollah needs to hit all those targets…? Even if you activate the Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Patriots and intercept some of the missiles, [will you know] how many such missiles are necessary?

Even discounting that rhetoric, Western experts also expected that Hezbollah's tenfold increase in rockets and missiles since the 2006 war and increased military capabilities would cause massive casualties and damage in Israel as The Atlantic Council analysis in 2020 said, "On Israel's side, one can expect unprecedented damage to the home front, heavy tolls in blood and treasure, and a predictable political crisis following the national trauma" from a war with Hezbollah.

Nothing like that happened. And it is because of Israel's brilliance in intelligence, its unprecedented effectiveness in wiping out all of Hezbollah's leadership no matter where they hid, and destroying its command and communications structure.

As a Jerusalem Post analysis says,

Major A. (29), head of the C2 section at the IDF Air Force’s operational headquarters, provided rare insights into the IDF’s efforts to disrupt Hezbollah. These operations thwarted massive rocket barrages aimed at Israeli civilians and disrupted coordinated attacks on IDF ground troops.

“An organization like Hezbollah is comparable to a human body,” Major A., a combat navigator, explained. “It has a brain—senior commanders—and nerves for communication. Our mission in the C2 division is to disrupt this network. We targeted everything from Nasrallah to mid-level commanders.”

The Air Force’s C2 division is responsible for intelligence collection, planning, and precision strikes on Hezbollah’s leadership and operational units.
One operation, “Blind Spot,” targeted Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters in late September, disrupting its ability to manage activities. Subsequent strikes, such as “Moonlight,” targeted underground command centers thought invulnerable, severely impacting Hezbollah’s operational continuity.

“We achieved significant breakthroughs by targeting underground assets and leadership structures,” Major A. said. “This severely diminished Hezbollah’s ability to coordinate against our operations.”

The strikes also undermined Hezbollah's morale. “They couldn’t execute large-scale operations, and their leaders were being eliminated,” Officer G., a C2 planning officer, explained. “Our operations left a lasting impact on their capabilities and morale.”

As IDF ground forces advanced, Hezbollah struggled to regroup or organize large-scale attacks due to the loss of command centers and leaders. “We impaired Hezbollah’s ability to function as a military force,” the C2 commander said. “Local units were left to fend for themselves.”

Reflecting on the operations, Officer G. noted: “After the first wave of strikes, Hezbollah operatives avoided communication devices for fear of being tracked. This chaos rendered them unable to coordinate, further fracturing their organization.”

Nobody predicted that the IDF would, or could, do what it did. Taking out both the enemy's entire leadership and its control systems that had been specifically built to survive any attack is unprecedented.

Hezbollah's promises of a massive attack on Israel in case of another war simply could not happen because Israel crippled Hezbollah in ways that it could not recover from while fighting. Certainly communities in the North suffered greatly, but when the war escalated in September, Hezbollah's capabilities were severelydeminished.

Which makes Hezbollah's current leader Naim Qassem's claim that Hezbollah won the war so comical. Unlike 2006, this is not a draw: Israel did damage to Hezbollah that no one thought was possible, with minimal civilian casualties considering Hezbollah's use of human shields.

11/30 Links: Biden spotted with book that claims Israel shouldn't exist; IDF strikes World Central Kitchen employee who participated in Oct. 7 attack

From Ian:

Biden spotted with book that accuses Israel of settler-colonialism, apartheid

US President Joe Biden was spotted leaving a bookstore in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Friday with a copy of The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017, by Palestinian-American historian Rashid Khalidi.

The purchase occurred during a holiday visit with his family as the nation kicked off the Black Friday shopping season following Thanksgiving. Photos of the outing have circulated all over X/Twitter and international media outlets.

It is unclear if Biden purchased the book or if it was handed to him. Multiple media outlets, including Fox News and The New York Post, have reached out to the White House for comment, but so far, there has been no response.

The Post also asked Khalidi about his reaction to the president holding his book.

“I do not speak to the Post (or the Times, for that matter), so this is not for publication, but my reaction is that this is four years too late,” Khalidi told the newspaper, which clarified that it did not offer or agree to any terms conditioning that response as off the record.

Khalidi’s book, first published in 2020, presents a controversial perspective on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The historian, known for his outspoken critique of Israeli policies, describes Palestine’s modern history as “a colonial war waged against the indigenous population by various parties to force them to relinquish their homeland.” His framing has drawn both praise and criticism for its sharp departure from traditional narratives.

The book highlights key moments such as the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the 1948 establishment of Israel – referred to as “the destruction of Palestine” – Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and the “endless, futile peace process.”

Khalidi has previously criticized former president Donald Trump’s policies, such as relocating the US Embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, calling them discriminatory toward Palestinians.

“Conflicts between settlers and indigenous peoples have ended in only three ways,” Khalidi writes, likening Israel’s policies to historical settler-colonial conflicts in North America, Algeria, and South Africa.

The historian also discusses moments of Palestinian resistance and terrorism. He praises the First Intifada as “an extraordinary example of popular resistance against oppression.”

Still, he labels the Second Intifada (2000-05) “a major failure” that contributed to the construction of Israel’s security barrier. Khalidi predicts that “popular resistance will continue to rise,” framing the Palestinian struggle as an enduring battle against colonialism.

Since the October 7 Hamas attacks and the resulting war, he has intensified his criticism of Israel. In recent interviews, the author accused Israel of conducting “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza, stating: “It is completely unclear what Israel’s political objective is. They are conducting ethnic cleansing, pushing the population of northern Gaza into the southern part of the Strip. But their political goal is entirely unclear to me.”

Who is Rashid Khalidi, the former PLO spokesman whose book Joe Biden showcased publicly yesterday?

When Edward Said died in 2003, Rashid Khalidi became the only living Palestinian historian of any note. And his scholarship is riddled with inaccuracies, distortions, flimsy citations, and lies. https://t.co/tEFAgyssca https://t.co/ddgxFLiYU0

11/29 Links Pt2: The Codification of Anti-Jewish Hiring Policies; Oxford Union debate descends into chaos as students shout down Israeli speakers

From Ian:

Seth Mandel: The Codification of Anti-Jewish Hiring Policies

There’s a case of apparent employment discrimination at UCLA that should put to rest once and for all the spurious idea that the current campus battles are about mere “free speech.”

For over a year now we’ve been subjected to the whinging of the “pro-Palestine” crowds who are physically harassing Jews on campus while claiming their speech rights are infringed upon any time their actions bring a whiff of consequences. But aside from the violence deployed against Jews, there’s been evidence of professional discrimination—at state-funded institutions, no less.

The latest and most illuminating example comes from UCLA, where a newly filed complaint alleges that the college Cultural Affairs Commission has in place a policy of anti-Jewish bias in its hiring process. Bella Brannon, editor of the Jewish student newspaper Ha’am, filed the petition with the Undergraduate Students Association Council (USAC) Judicial Board earlier this week.

The crux of the allegation is that Alicia Verdugo, head of the Cultural Affairs Commission, told staffers not to hire Jewish applicants. Specifically, she told subordinates, “please do your research when you look at applicants” because “lots of zionists (sic) are applying.” However, the directive was not Israel-specific; applicants were being rejected after having identified themselves as Jews unrelated to anything regarding Israel or the war in Gaza. Finally, staffers were told that at an upcoming retreat a “no hire list”—that is, an anti-Jewish blacklist—would be shared.

According to Ha’am, “every student who indicated their Jewish identity in their applications for Cultural Affairs Commissioner (CAC) staff was rejected.” One rejected applicant, for example, answered a question on the application about an issue of importance by noting that “as a Jewish student at UCLA, it is imperative that I have the right to express my identity.” Another rejected applicant had mentioned Judaism when asked about attendance at the staff retreat, explaining that they are Sabbath observant.

A CAC hiring document obtained by Ha’am allegedly says: “We reserve the right to remove any staff member who dispels antiBlackness, colorism, racism, white supremacy, zionism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, misogyny, ableism, and any/all other hateful/bigoted ideologies.”

Although “dispels” is obviously the wrong word there, the intent is clear. As is the fact that “Zionism” is listed as disqualifying but “anti-Semitism” is not.

Ivy League Holocaust professor charges Israel with genocide

Omer Bartov, Brown University’s Samuel Pisar professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies, called Israel’s ongoing Gaza military campaign a “genocide operation” in a Nov. 11 podcast “Gaza and the Question of Genocide.”

Addressing Georgetown University’s Saudi-supported Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), Bartov, an Israeli Holocaust historian, failed miserably to substantiate his outrageous accusation. The irony that a scholar of such reputation and subject specialty would make such egregiously false claims was not lost on Bartov’s hosts, who surely invited him knowing that his stance would be useful in their propaganda war against Israel.

As ACMCU’s reliably anti-Israel director Nader Hashemi moderated, Bartov discussed Israeli policies in the post-Oct. 7, 2023 context. He said the barbarous Hamas jihadist assault upon Israel “should be classified as a war crime and as a crime against humanity.”

“Potentially, if you want to connect it to the Hamas Charter of 1988, you could also describe it as a genocidal act. I am less strong on that,” he added, even though the events of Oct. 7 clearly reflected Hamas’s longstanding genocidal intentions.

Bartov’s slander of Israel’s self-defense response as genocidal rested upon the hackneyed trope of civilian collateral damage. “In order to save the lives of [Israeli] soldiers when you’re moving into a heavily built-up area,” air and artillery strikes precede Israeli advances into Gaza, he said. Thus, Israeli military leaders “order the population to leave for its own safety, and then you assume that the population left even if many people don’t leave,” perhaps, for example, “because they’re sick.”

NGOs calling for Israeli arms embargo are dangerous and hypocritical

This international policy stampede is orchestrated through powerful NGO campaigns. “Respected” groups like Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Oxfam with anti-Israel biases have been relentless in their efforts to cut off military funding, halt arms sales and undermine Israel’s defense systems, including the Iron Dome, which protects civilians from lethal rockets, missiles and UAVs. The NGOs have filed lawsuits, staged protests and exerted immense pressure on governments to cease military aid.

In November 2023, for example, just weeks after the brutal Hamas atrocities in southern Israel, Human Rights Watch demanded that Israel’s allies—the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany—suspend military assistance, repeating entirely false allegations of war crimes. In December, the organization called for an immediate halt to arms transfers from the United Kingdom to Israel, followed in February by a statement accusing Israel of crimes against humanity and urging the U.S. government to impose sanctions.

As the lobbying intensified, the Dutch Court of Appeal ruled that the Netherlands must cease the transfer of U.S.-owned F-35 components to Israel, a legal milestone brought about by a lawsuit led by Oxfam and other NGOs. By June, Amnesty was actively pursuing legal measures to stop arms exports to Israel, while Oxfam was lobbying for “all available measures” to block military sales. Over the summer, these coordinated efforts culminated in multiple legal actions across Europe, highlighting the systematic NGO push to isolate Israel militarily.

This isn’t advocacy for peace; it’s a concerted attempt to leave Israel defenseless.

This time last year, NGOs, including two linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group, filed a federal lawsuit against the Biden administration in an attempt to force a comprehensive arms embargo against Israel. Although the lawsuit failed, the question is whether the outgoing Biden administration will adopt a wider policy of arms embargoes against Israel. Additionally, it remains to be seen if and how President-elect Donald Trump will counter ongoing NGO-led efforts aimed at weakening U.S. support for Israel’s security.

If these NGOs succeed, whether by lawsuit or lobbying, they and leaders that supported them or were swayed by them in their decision-making will be responsible for crippling Israel’s security infrastructure and emboldening Iran and its proxies. The NGOs’ vision is one where Israel is exposed to the very real and ongoing threats at its borders, a danger that could spread unchecked across the region if not stopped.

The inconsistencies in the NGO community’s selective stance become even more apparent when considering the human toll of their actions. They disregard the rights and lives of Israeli civilians who depend on defense systems to shield them from constant threats.

In their quest to impose sanctions against Israel, these NGOs are contributing to a situation that could lead to more, not less, bloodshed.

Instead of embracing their hypocrisy, responsible governments should be holding NGOs accountable. Those working with them, including government and private donors, must demand transparency, reject double standards and foster a dialogue that does not automatically demonize Israel, including the role of terrorism and the need to defend against it, in the Middle East. Only then can these groups be credited with promoting a vision where all civilians can live free from violence.

Tony Badran: Obama Plays a Dead Man’s Hand in Lebanon, and Wins

Barely three weeks ago, Barack Obama’s legacy was in tatters. His party was roundly defeated in the election, after he personally engineered the defenestration of his doddering former vice president from the Oval Office. Instead of greeting the sight of Obama emerging from the shadows with relief, Americans reacted with horror. His handpicked candidate was trounced, while the Party he directed lost both houses of Congress. The Iran deal, which he once saw as his ticket to Mount Rushmore, would be consigned to the dustbin of history by self-proclaimed master dealmaker Donald Trump.

And yet, two months before the end of his lengthy shadow presidency, and faced with the final undoing of his signature legacy project in the Middle East, Obama went all in—and won big. By forcing Israel to accept a deal with Hezbollah that will formalize America’s role as the terror group’s protector, Obama will have locked in a key piece of his decade-old policy of leveraging American power to secure both Iran’s continuing regional influence and its direct control over Israel’s borders.

After nearly two months of operating in Lebanon, the Israeli cabinet agreed on Tuesday to the cease-fire deal brokered by President Joe Biden’s special envoy, Amos Hochstein. The details of the deal are, for the most part, as irrelevant as they are meaningless. In essence, they represent a return to the Oct. 6, 2023, status quo ante. Namely, that the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) will again deploy in south Lebanon, and again pretend to “implement UNSCR 1701”—the meaningless 2006 U.N. resolution which supposedly prevents Hezbollah’s rearmament and the reconstruction of its infrastructure south of the Litani River. To prop up this threadbare charade, the U.S. will now up its annual taxpayer subsidization of Hezbollah’s base—reportedly by at least another $400 million—to account for the enlargement of the LAF with new, U.S.-subsidized recruits. With these additions, U.S. taxpayer funding for Hezbollahland will now sit at around a $1 billion a year.

The relevant parts of the agreement have to do with the formalization of the U.S. role in Lebanon—a process that began with Hochstein’s maritime deal in 2022—as an arbiter between Israel and Hezbollah, increasing America’s direct management of the Lebanese special province and of Israel’s defense policy. The vehicle for this role that the deal introduces is the creation of a so-called monitoring committee headed by the U.S., which will be represented presumably by a CENTCOM officer.

In other words, the U.S. is now responsible for handling Israel’s complaints about the myriad violations of 1701 that will doubtlessly be forthcoming as Hezbollah’s forces and supporters stream back into their villages on Israel’s northern border. And since the U.S. underwrites the LAF, in which it has been heavily invested for two decades, the Americans will be inclined to cover for the LAF’s collusion with Hezbollah—in the process becoming directly complicit for the aid that the LAF will give to its symbiotic terrorist partner. The lawyerly language that Team Obama planted in the side letter they gave Israel, as well as the text of the agreement itself, make it plain that the U.S. will now restrict Israeli actions, certainly in the parts of the country north of the Litani. As a senior administration official told its Israeli stenographer Barak Ravid, “There are restrictions on the military activity that Israel can carry out. It is impossible to sign a ceasefire agreement if Israel can shoot afterwards whatever it wants in Lebanon and whenever it wants.”

Instead, as Hochstein told Al Jazeera, “The United States will send diplomats and military personnel to the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, whose mission will be to work with the Lebanese Armed Forces and Lebanese authorities.” And if Israel has a complaint, it will need to notify the U.S., and share intelligence with it in the context of the monitoring committee, so that the CENTCOM officer can then relay those concerns to the LAF, which has long operated in partnership with Hezbollah’s forces, and whose political sponsors in Beirut are dominated by the Iranian-run militia.

In other words, the agreement affirms that Israel is a province that lacks full sovereignty, especially when it comes to its defense policy in territory where Washington has decided to partner with Iran and establish a joint protectorate dedicated to Israel’s destruction.

Ruthie Blum: Bibi’s latest challenge

According to a survey conducted by Direct Polls for Israel’s Channel 14, the Israeli public is split down the middle on the Lebanon ceasefire agreement that went into effect on Wednesday at 4 a.m. What’s notable in this case is that the division doesn’t run along party or ideological lines.

In fact, the newly minted deal—stipulating that Israel has 60 days to withdraw its troops from Lebanon, during which time the Lebanese Armed Forces will deploy to the southern border and Hezbollah will retreat northward of the Litani River—has been met with harsh criticism by both supporters and detractors of the government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Chief among the latter are members of the “anybody but Bibi” protest movement, most of whom claim to consider Netanyahu a greater threat to national security than Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and the head of the snake, Iran. Since they oppose every policy that he puts forth, their knee-jerk anger was to be expected.

The former category includes residents of northern Israel: evacuees forced for the past 14 months to live in temporary lodgings; and others, slightly farther south of the Lebanon border, who’ve remained under constant rocket, missile and drone fire.

Rather than welcoming the prospect of a truce enabling them to return home or stop running for shelter with every air-raid siren, these people are furious. Not trusting Hezbollah to honor an arrangement that it didn’t actually sign, nor believing that the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL will guarantee the phony peace, they feel that Netanyahu capitulated to foreign pressure before finishing the job.

His explanation for the move—from the Knesset podium and subsequently in a video message—may have assuaged some of their fears. It also possibly helped them understand the timing of his decision. Nevertheless, they remain wary and out of sorts.

Champions of the ceasefire are also a mixed bunch, with pundits and part of the populace who disagree with one another on various other issues viewing the maneuver as strategically clever. This disparate group seems to be growing with each additional clarification by Netanyahu and the coalition partners who gave him the green light.

In an effort to persuade skeptics—especially after Hezbollah violated the terms of the deal within hours of its implementation—Netanyahu sat down on Thursday evening for a lengthy, one-on-one interview with Channel 14’s Yaakov Bardugo.

Bardugo is a right-wing journalist whose natural inclination would be and was to disapprove of such a ceasefire. After all, on paper, it’s almost identical to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, the farcical 2006 document that ended the Second War in Lebanon against Hezbollah.

Clifford D May: Another week of attacks on Israel

For more than a year, Israel has been fighting a brutal multifront war against Iran’s rulers and their terrorist proxies: Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Shia militias in Syria and Iraq.

Last week, Israel was also attacked by enemies in New York, Washington and The Hague. Although these were not kinetic battles, they did damage.

First attack: On Nov. 20, 14 members of the U.N. Security Council voted in favor of a resolution that did not call on Hamas to release its hostages, Americans among them, as a precondition for a ceasefire in Gaza.

President Joe Biden, credit where it’s due, instructed his envoy at the United Nations to veto the resolution. Allowing the resolution to pass, said Ambassador Robert Wood, would have “sent a dangerous message to Hamas.”

Which raises this question: Do the leaders of France, Britain, Japan and South Korea who voted with Beijing and Moscow not understand the message they just sent to Americans at a time of rising isolationism?

And if American diplomats tried but were unable to persuade America’s allies to stand with the United States, how likely is it that they will prevail when negotiating with the envoys of Beijing, Moscow, and their buddies in Tehran and Pyongyang?

Second attack: Also on Nov. 20: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) led what The Nation, a far-left journal, called a “bold new effort to block arms sales to Israel.”

He and 18 other senators, all Democrats or self-styled independents, apparently would prefer that Hamas survive the war it launched against Israel with its invasion and barbaric pogrom on Oct. 7, 2023. And they clearly don’t regard liberating the hostages as an urgent concern.

Sanders’ resolutions to limit munitions sales to an ally defending itself from genocidal enemies failed. But Mother Jones, another far-left journal, noted that the vote “shows Dems are shifting.” Hard to disagree.

The third attack: On Nov. 21, Karim Khan, prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Khan also issued a warrant for Mohammed Deif, the head of the military wing of Hamas in Gaza. However, since Deif was “martyred” in July, I doubt his lawyers will put him on the stand.

Khan has not just politicized international law; he’s weaponized it to defame and blood libel the only surviving and thriving Jewish community remaining in the Middle East.

To achieve that, he violated both international law and the rules of his court.

November 29, 1947: Palestinian Arab media claim Jews bribed the United Nations to vote for partition

Antisemitic conspiracy theories (disguised as "anti-Zionist") are nothing new.

Here's the headline of the Falastin newspaper the day after the UN partition vote on November 29, 1947:

It says "Arab Palestine was sold yesterday for ill-gotten money paid by Jews."

Jaffa-based Ad-Difaa sounded a similar note:

The partition was decided in America, but it will not be implemented in Palestine. ...The selfishness of countries and their interests make them subject to pressure from the Zionists.
...The status of the United Nations has never gone so low as when it considered the partition plan. On its stage, it was revealed: bad bias, rude pressure and vile bribery....
The United Nations has wounded itself by buying and selling itself in the market.

Obviously, it is Jewish money that forces the world to bend to Zionist wishes.

Israel-hating Arabs and Muslim countries would never do that. Why waste money when threats of violence gain the same benefit for free?

Seeing Through Distorted Media Coverage of Israel (Guest post by Jerry Schwartz)

Guest post by Jerry Schwartz

I recently took a three-week trip to the United States from Israel to visit family and friends. At each visit they pounced on me for information about the situation in Israel. Even though they all follow current events in the American media, the news they were getting about the war between Israel and Hamas left them bewildered.

This is not surprising. A recent research article published in the journal Israel Affairs studied the coverage of this war by the New York Times. The findings were damning, among them “misquoting Israeli leaders, employing questionable journalists..., misleading repeated errors, inadequate corrections, significant omissions, and poor editorial supervision.” The authors concluded that “the Times pretends nothing has changed, but its newsroom has radically changed and does not uphold the same standards it once did. This misleads many readers who still believe they are receiving broad well-founded views, as well as accurate and impartial information.”

So widespread has distorted reporting on Israel in Western media become that watchdog organizations have sprung up to counter it. Two long-established examples are CAMERA and Honest Reporting.

Such reporting also tends to cause perplexity among visitors to Israel whose positive impressions clash with the negativity so widely portrayed in the media. One such visitor was Professor Cherryl Smith. In her book Framing Israel she defines and illustrates six patterns of distortion in coverage of Israel in mainstream media and campus discourse, and for each pattern gives the necessary basic historical background. Once you learn to identify them, the distortions will no longer leave you perplexed as you read the Washington Post or other major western media outlets, but will seem transparent and even unprofessional.

Chapters 1 and 2 lay out the impetus for writing the book. Chapters 3 and 4 are more academic and explain the theoretical underpinning of the method of rhetorical frames. Chapters 5 through 10 develop the six rhetorical patterns. The book is written in a personal, narrative style, and is engaging, not so abstruse as to make it challenging yet at a level that satisfies intelligent readers.

It’s a great book for incoming Jewish college freshmen to read and discuss during the summer preceding their first semester. They will be much better prepared to see through and resist the anti-Israel indoctrination and activism they are about to confront from their professors and fellow students.

Like my family and friends, I have always been a staunch supporter of Israel, and like them, I trusted NPR and the New York Times, except that their reporting about Israel almost always got my hackles up--until I read this book when it was first published four years ago. Since then I’ve been relying on other, more trustworthy sources for news and analysis about Israel.

The Israel-Hamas war has seen, and continues to see, egregiously distorted reporting. Rereading Framing Israel now, I find its unique way of deconstructing distorted media coverage of Israel–to our great dismay–more relevant than ever.

Angry fans greeted the Turkish Beşiktaş football team on their arrival back from a defeat against the Maccabi Tel Aviv team in Hungary. But they weren't protesting specifically about the loss to the Zionists; they were protesting how poorly the team has bene playing altogether.

But one part of the match caused the Turkish fans to be very upset.

After scoring a goal, Gabi Kanikovski pointed to the Israeli flag on his uniform, looked up at the sky, and gave a salute.

Deputy Chairman of the opposition CHP Republican Peoples Party Ali Mahir Başarır called for the UEFA to ban Kanikovski from football, calling the salute a "crime against humanity" and "immoral."

Others noted that Turkey was penalized when all the players on their national team gave a coordinated salute after a goal in 2020, and Turkish player Merih Demiral received a two-game suspension for displaying a "grey wolf" sign after a goal in July. (The "grey wolf" sign is associated with a fascist group.)

The Turks are saying that if Turkey is penalized, certainly Israel should be for a hand gesture.

They are not remotely comparable. Kanikovski's salute was not political. And you can see it for yourself.

Why was he saluting the sky? The reason is that Kanikovski was not saluting the IDF but two of his friends that had fallen in the Gaza war, childhood friend Shauli Gringlick and Yaron Chitiz. He even named his own son after Shauli.

Don't expect any Turkish media to report that.

London 2024 is Berlin 1936

Things are turning horrific in England for Jews.

Here are some incidents reported just the past week:

A 14-year-old ultra-Orthodox Jewish girl from Stamford Hill in London, was rushed to the hospital with serious head and facial injuries after being brutally attacked in what is believed to be an antisemitic incident. Her condition is reported as critical, according to local Jewish organization Shomrim.

The attack occurred when a man threw several glass bottles from his balcony at a group of ultra-Orthodox girls who were walking home from school. One of the girls was struck by a bottle and severely injured, and transported by ambulance to the Royal London Hospital.

______________

JFS pupils have spoken of their horror after their school bus was pelted with rocks and rubbish by teenagers from another school who shouted “f*ck Israel” at them.

Two of the buses used by the school were attacked by a group of around ten teenagers from another school as they made a stop in Edgware, north London.

Four teenagers also jumped onto one of the buses, swore at the JFS children and filmed them before getting out and throwing things at the bus.

______________

Leaflets with the writing “every Zionist needs to leave Britain or be slaughtered” were found spread around the streets of Hendon, a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood in north London.
The threatening message was written in Hebrew, and the leaflet also stated in English “Zionist Free Zone.” It also read “Ha, made you pick up litter you zianazi freak.”

______________

A King’s College London academic used a Hamas propaganda document to encourage her students to sympathise with the terror group, the JC can reveal.

Dr Rana Baker, a lecturer on Middle Eastern history, led a seminar earlier this year in which she handed out the Hamas text titled “Our Narrative: Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” and suggested students think about the terrorist organisation as a “liberation” movement.

She also remarked on the “collaboration between Zionists and Nazis” and the “deployment of the Holocaust as a justification to build an exclusive Jewish state”.

______________

Several BBC staff members quit the journalists' union after being told to wear the colors of the Palestinian flag, Jewish News reported on Wednesday.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the Trades Union Congress (TUC) reportedly sent messages asking workers to “wear something red, green, black or a Palestinian keffiyeh.”
This directive is part of a Day of Action for Palestine, an event calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

_____________

A Merseyside councillor who joked that complaints of antisemitism in Labour should be labelled “Jew process” rather than “due process” gave antisemitism training to the Green Party.

_______________

The restaurant critic Jay Rayner left the Observer because “there are antisemites on the [Guardian] staff” and the editor, Kath Viner, “likes to deny it,” he wrote on a private Facebook post seen by the JC.
In the post, Rayner wrote: “I'm not sorry to be leaving Guardian newspapers. For years now being Jewish, however non-observant, and working for the company has been uncomfortable, at times excruciating.
"Viner likes to deny it but there are antisemites on the daily's staff and she has not had the courage to face them down. For years now I have made a point of sending her a back channel email each time the Guardian has published another outrage. It will be a joy to know that I'm not a part of that anymore.”

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will bring about a “seismic change” to a world in need of urgent reforms, the British conservative political thinker and journalist Douglas Murray said in Jerusalem on Wednesday.

“There is, and I say this carefully, there is a rather large, orange-colored hammer that has just landed, or is about to land, on this whole sea and I think this will change things seismically,” Murray said during an event at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center organized by the NGO Monitor research institute, speaking during a discussion on stopping groups that drive anti-Israel and antisemitic agendas.

“And I think that what America does in this moment will really matter because so much of this is so rotten,” he added.

Murray, who has emerged as a top supporter of Israel over the past year of war, said that Trump usually does what he says he will do, and that the declarations of members of his Cabinet speak for themselves.

He cited the proposed removal of U.S. federal funding from universities “which don’t teach their students anything other than how to become radical activists and waste their lives,” as well as cutting funding to the U.N.

“And we all know this, and you all know this, but something has to be done about it at a seismic level, at a level that will shake everything in this in this rotten tree.” British journalist Douglas Murray and NGO Monitor Vice President Olga Deutsch and President Gerald Steinberg discuss groups that drive anti-Israel and antisemitic agendas, during an event at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem on Nov. 27, 2024.

The event focused on the critical role played by international organizations over the last quarter-century in promoting anti-Israel activities that have now gone mainstream.

“Many of these NGOs which have nice sounding names have gone rotten,” Murray said. “They all have this sort of smoke screen facade of decency and morality and under that smoke screen, they could get away with doing absolutely evil things.”

He cited as case in point the U.N.’s Palestinian aid agency UNRWA, which has been repeatedly connected to terrorism during the war against Hamas in Gaza but continues to receive funding from much of the world, including the U.S.

“There is nothing that UNRWA can do that will not prevent Europeans and other Western governments from funding them,” Murray said. “There can be UNRWA employees carrying out massacre and you’ll say, well, who else is there to fund? Which you would say, ‘Lots of people. Non-massacre people.’”

The Canada we loved is disappearing with the normalization of Nazi and jihadist activity

Being Canadian used to be a profound source of pride for us in the Jewish community. Growing up in Toronto meant living in one of the most ethnically and racially integrated cities in the world, a true mosaic of diversity and coexistence, built on the backbone of countless immigrants.

Like many nations, Canada’s history is not without its dark periods. Our community has long been aware of its antisemitic past, particularly during the Holocaust when Canada shamefully accepted only a negligible number of Jewish refugees despite what was happening to Jews under the Nazis. The infamous phrase, “None is too many,” epitomized the government’s stance at the time, a chilling indictment of its moral failure.

Yet, despite this grim chapter, Canada emerged as a beacon of moral clarity on the global stage under prime minister Stephen Harper. His administration stood as one of Israel’s staunchest allies, unwavering in support of its right to self-defense, starting in 2006 in the Second Lebanon War all the way up until Operation Protective Edge in the 2014 Gaza War. Canada was the first country to cut aid to the Palestinian Authority after Hamas’s election and consistently opposed biased, one-sided UN resolutions against Israel. These actions showcased Canada as a principled leader, unafraid to stand firm in its convictions despite global criticism.

But the Canada we once knew and loved now feels unrecognizably distant. Since well before October 7, 2023, Canadian Jews – and, indeed, many average Canadians – have been abandoned. Hateful antisemitic and anti-Canadian protests have erupted nationwide, where agitators openly glorify Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists while desecrating the Canadian flag. Calls to “globalize the intifada” and praise for the groups responsible for atrocities have become alarmingly common.

One particularly harrowing incident occurred outside the Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto (BAYT), one of the city’s largest synagogues. Pro-Hamas activists viciously protested and harassed members of the congregation during an event. In the last week of May 2024, a Jewish school for girls in Toronto was the subject of gunfire, a yeshiva (Jewish seminary) was similarly shot at in the middle of the night in Montreal, and a synagogue in Vancouver was set alight by protesters after a hate-filled rally.

On those same streets of Vancouver, Samidoun’s Charlotte Kates chillingly chanted “Long Live October 7” and lauded various terror groups as “resistance fighters” and “heroes.” Although the Canadian Parliament eventually sanctioned Samidoun as a sham charity linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist organization, this action came after years of harm inflicted on Canadian soil. Only after the group, so emboldened by government inaction, began to shout “Death to Canada” and burn both Israeli and Canadian flags during memorials marking the anniversary of October 7, did the Canadian government finally shut it down.

Media Amplifies “Video” Used to Excuse Amsterdam Violence — Does it Exist?

The New York Times Corrects
After CAMERA called on authors and editors to substantiate their claim, the New York Times (eventually) came clean with readers. It didn’t have the alleged video.

The paper published corrections, removed references to the video, and changed the report so that it attributed to “city officials” the allegation about the alleged chants. (The amended report doesn’t consider whether city officials, who don’t speak Hebrew, may have fallen victim to the same mistranslations that appeared to trip up Times reporters.)

Before the piece was corrected, though, the claim spread further — crafted on social media, blasted out by the New York Times, and repeated, for example, in a Globe and Mail opinion piece that links to the Times piece when condemning the purported chant. After a German journalist pointed to the New York Times and its questionable quote, his newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine, led readers to believe the quote appears on video.

And on, and on, and on it rippled. Wikipedia currently cites the New York Times and Frankfurter Allgemeine when claiming: “Israeli fans were captured on video chanting ‘Death to Arabs,’ ‘Let the IDF win’ and ‘Why is there no school in Gaza? There are no children left there.’”

The quote appeared elsewhere. Al Jazeera mentions it repeatedly. Various arms of Turkish state media describe the supposed video. The Guardian’s Jon Henley refers to “verified social media videos” of the quote, and his paper repeated the claim a day later. The Jewish Chronicle stated as fact that the words were chanted by fans headed to the soccer match. The Media Line reported that video from Amsterdam showed of chant.

After contact from CAMERA, the author of the Media Line piece made clear he couldn’t substantiate the claim, and the piece was changed to say that chants “reportedly” included the words in question. The Jewish Chronicle, too, acknowledged it had no video, and quietly changed its piece so that the charge was attributed to a “city official” and Frankfurter Allgemeine.

Frankfurter Allgemeine informed CAMERA that it didn’t, in fact, have video. (Editors defended their language with a technicality: While the allegation appeared in a paragraph that that opened by describing video of Israelis, which itself appeared in a section that opened by describing video of Israelis, the offending sentence didn’t restate the word “video.” The reporting, they insisted, was based on eyewitness claims — though the article didn’t attribute the claim, and instead reported it as fact.)

The Guardian reader’s editor said she would look into the issue. The Globe and Mail columnist did not reply to a call for substantiation.

11/28 Links Pt1: There’s No Such Thing As a ‘Ceasefire with Lebanon’; Hezbollah lost 4,000 fighters; Send in the clowns, arrests at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Seth Mandel: There’s No Such Thing As a ‘Ceasefire with Lebanon’

Yesterday, President Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron crowed that, “after many weeks of tireless diplomacy, Israel and Lebanon have accepted a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Lebanon.”

Between Israel and Lebanon? Have there been hostilities between Israel and Lebanon? Because it would be very silly to have Lebanese troops patrol the buffer zone if the buffer zone is meant to separate the IDF from Lebanese troops.

It’s wonderful that “Israel and Lebanon have accepted a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Lebanon.” Whoever this “Lebanon” guy is, he sounds nice. But I have no idea what he’s doing here.

Last week, men almost surely hired by Iran murdered in cold blood a Jerusalem-born Chabad rabbi in Dubai. Are Biden and Macron working on a “ceasefire” between Israel and the United Arab Emirates? Of course not, and no one is even suggesting such a thing, because it would be patently ridiculous on its face and arguably a mockery of the victim.

So that’s the conceptual absurdity of this ceasefire. What about its practicality?

“Eight vehicles and a motorcycle carrying Hezbollah personnel arrived at the ruins of Kfar Kila near Matula,” Israel’s Kann News reported this morning. “The IDF force that was on the spot drove them away with warning shots.”

Metula is an Israeli town on the border with Lebanon. Hezbollah had begun the ceasefire by advancing on Israel. Wrong direction, guys! Like legendary Vikings defensive end Jim Marshall recovering that fumble against the 49ers in 1964 and then running 65 yards into the wrong end zone—except on purpose.

And Israel’s response was to fire warning shots, because anything more aggressive—anything actually appropriate to the threat, in other words—would have triggered condemnation from the very allies that negotiated this ceasefire.

The Lebanese Armed Forces cannot enforce this ceasefire. If they could, they would have already cleared the area of Hezbollah, which has been operating with impunity for four decades. And the UN peacekeepers are Hezbollah’s trusted allies—that may sound harsh but it is just plain fact.

Yes, Israel is hoping to run out the clock on the Biden administration and have freer range of action once Donald Trump takes office. But Hezbollah knows Biden is on his way out, too, and that Trump is on his way in. And the enemy always gets a vote. Sometimes that vote is expressed by a nine-vehicle Hezbollah convoy encroaching on Israel’s sovereign border, in contemptuous contravention of a ceasefire signed by “Lebanon.”

Avi Issacharoff: Hezbollah can only claim Pyrrhic victory, but the real one is Israel's

While Hizbullah spokesmen may claim victory, the reality is clear to most Lebanese citizens. Hizbullah suffered a devastating defeat in the recent conflict.

Israeli intelligence demonstrated its ability to locate Hizbullah operatives down to the level of company commanders and including those facilitating weapons smuggling from Iran through Syria.

This campaign will undoubtedly be studied in military academies as a model of how Israel, through a combination of deception, tactical ingenuity, precise intelligence, combat spirit and soldierly sacrifice, managed to bring the conflict to a decisive close once the decision was made to act.

Israel had allowed Hizbullah to grow unchecked over the past 17 years without decisive action to stop its military buildup.

After the ceasefire, Hizbullah will undoubtedly resume its reconstruction efforts. Will Israel act decisively to prevent Hizbullah's next military buildup?

Ben-Dror Yemini: IDF's achievements against Hezbollah are tremendous and we should talk about it

Hizbullah's strength was supposed to deter Israel from any contemplation of striking the Iranian nuclear program. Everything written about Hizbullah's potential was accurate.

Then Israel struck Hizbullah with the pager operation, with massive bombings of missile and rocket depots, and with the elimination of Nasrallah and other top leaders in an unprecedented achievement.

Israel comes out of this conflict much stronger and Hizbullah has folded after a heavy blow.

Israel is in a position of strength. We lost this strength once because of a conciliatory approach. It must not happen again.

International Tourism Down, Taxi Drivers Forced To Price-Gouge Israelis (PreOccupied Territory)

Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory.

Check out their Facebook page.

Ben-Gurion International Airport, November 28 - Deprived by the consequences of an ongoing war of clueless visitors from abroad whom they can fleece by charging unreasonable rates, local cab operators find themselves struggling to generate the same extra cash by doing the same to the more seasoned, long-term residents of the country, an industry group reported today.

A spokesman for the Organization of Navigational Automotive Associates (ONAA) shared its members lament this morning that the lack of tourists since last October 7 has all but crippled taxi drivers' opportunities and abilities to gouge naive passengers with inflated prices, since the only remaining marks for the venerable scam are locals who are wise to any such attempts to defraud them.

"It's difficult to adapt to this situation," acknowledged Rami Ramai, ONAA's deputy director. "On paper, the standard, metered rate for a trip from the airport to, say, Jerusalem is a few hundred shekels, assuming only light traffic on the highway. On paper, that's supposed to cover the fuel, wear and tear, maintenance, insurance, and registration costs, plus a reasonable profit. But regardless of what the meter might say, often the driver and passenger will negotiate a flat sum for the trip in advance. Still, that's perfectly fine, and drivers know their lower limits. But again, that's just on paper - in reality we don't want merely a reasonable profit. We're here to exploit the innocent."

Ramai explained that while seasoned Israelis will not fall for the "I give you big discount" line, enough tourists do, resulting in flat sum notably in excess of what drivers can expect from local customers - and some drivers have become dependent on the extra income from fleecing foreign visitors, principally Americans. With the war since October 7, 2023, scaring off many airlines, foreign tourist traffic has decreased markedly, and with it, the opportunities to score exploitative profits from travelers - and putting nearly half of ONAA's members in a financial bind.

"A lot of us are still paying off mortgages, or loans for the taxis themselves," noted Ramai. "Even those who don't have to worry about those problems, most of them, are still reliant on the price-gouging to make the difference between mere subsistence and some measure of a comfortable lifestyle. Gouging tourists became, however informally, a fixed part of many families' budgeting. Now we have to find ways of separating less-gullible people, cynical and suspicious Israelis, from their money, and it's not easy."

Kosher Egyptian French Fries - in Israel

We don't hear much about trade between Egypt and Israel, besides natural gas. But it is happening, even with the cold peace between the two.

Yerushalimey sent me pictures of a brand of frozen French fries at his local grocery in Israel.

When he looked at the back, he saw something unusual:

It is made in Egypt.

Not only that...

It's kosher!

French fries require certification, since they get fried during their manufacture and the oil must be kosher as well as the equipment. (Chances are the oil used in this brand are kitniyot, which is why they are only kosher for Passover for Mizrahi Jews.)

Which means that some Israeli rabbi or rabbis must be traveling to Cairo to verify how the fries (or chips, if you prefer) are manufactured.

Of course, now that I published this, there's a danger that Egyptians will start attacking the manufacturer and accuse it of "genocide," which is becoming the go-to response for anyone who deals with Israel in any way.

On November 21, UN Watch reported a major story:

UN Watch has revealed that UNRWA’s previous head Pierre Krahenbuhl met repeatedly with leaders of Palestinian terrorist organizations, including one meeting where he called for their covert partnership and unity. The practice has continued under UNRWA’s current commissioner Philippe Lazzarini.

At a gathering in Beirut in February 2017, Krahenbuhl met with the Hamas chief of foreign relations, Ali Baraka, who was recently indicted by the U.S. government for “heinous crimes.” Baraka managed Hamas ties with Tehran and other regimes including Syria and Iraq. Days after the Hamas massacre of October 7th, Baraka claimed that the group had been planning the attack for two years, and he revealed the existence since 2021 of a Palestinian Joint Operations Room among the various factions. “We made them think that Hamas was busy with governing Gaza, and that it wanted to focus on the 2.5 million Palestinians there, and has abandoned the resistance altogether. All the while, under the table, Hamas was preparing for this big attack,” said Baraka.

The head of UNRWA at the same gathering also met with Abu Imad al-Rifai, the leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Lebanon, who boasted about sending a wave of suicide bombers to Baghdad in 2003 to kill American and British troops.

At the meeting, UNRWA’s Krahenbuhl emphasized the “spirit of partnership” between the terrorist groups and UNRWA. He invited them to privately challenge any UNRWA decision, which he could then change or “tear up,” while also urging that their “discussions not be made public.”

If their meetings were to be publicized, said Krahenbuhl, who now heads the International Red Cross, that “could challenge our credibility” — and “lead to a loss of trust between donor countries and UNRWA, which might result in reduced or even terminated funding.”

In the discussions with the terror chiefs, Krahenbuhl acknowledged that UNRWA’s role was not primarily about aid distribution. “We will not abandon the role entrusted to us, to be the historical witness to the injustice that has befallen the Palestinian people,” he said.

This is as damning as can be. It proves that UNRWA cooperates with terror groups, and it tries to hide it. It proves that UNRWA's main mission is not to aid Palestinian "refugees" but to "be the historical witness" by perpetuating the fake refugee problem.

This comes on top of evidence that UNRWA schools were run by Hamas leaders, and students are being taught to hate and attack Israel. And UNRWA employees are stealing aid meant for Gazans - according to Gazans themselves.

UNRWA cannot argue about these facts. So it responds by calling it "disinformation."

From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General:

The spread of disinformation against UNRWA is meant to create chaos & divert attention from the political aims to dismantle the Agency.

It is distraction from what really matters: The devastating impact the war in Gaza & the region is having on civilians & the work that our UNRWA teams continue to do to save lives.

The spread of false information continues unabated causing harm to Palestine Refugees by undermining the only UN agency dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance, education + primary health care to one of the most vulnerable communities in the region.

UNRWA is the international community’s instrument put in place to address the plight of Palestine refugees in the absence of an alternative & until a just political solution is found.

Most importantly, this dis-information campaign is putting the lives of my colleagues in the occupied Palestinian territory including Gaza at further risk.

Before you share, double check the source & question the intent. Ask, why is this information out there?

Avoid becoming an echo for disinformation & de facto of fueling hate.

It’s more harmful than you think.

What, exactly is the disinformation and false information? Has Lazzarini denied the transcript of his predecessor cozying up to terrorist leaders? Has UNRWA denied that Hamas leaders were also school principals? Has UNRWA brought any proof that UN Watch is lying?

Of course not. Because they can't.

The only distraction happening is UNRWA trying as hard as it can to distract attention from its own complicity in terror.

Arguing that UNRWA provides some services to vulnerable people and therefore shouldn't be touched is like saying that same about Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah, all of which run social service programs. It is like arguing that a surgeon who never went to medical school should not lose his or her license since only 10% of their patients died from their incompetence.

And, no, these revelations are not meant to "divert attention" from political aims to dismantle the agency. They are very clearly meant to dismantle the agency.

It should have been done decades ago.
