Jonathan Tobin: Progressive Judaism ‘without Israel’ is a tool for antisemites

The conceit of the piece is similar to other articles published in the Times that seek to generate support for left-wing groups that are harshly critical of Israel, like J Street, or to legitimize anti-Zionist organizations, such as Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow, which openly traffic in antisemitism as well as seek the elimination of the Jewish state.

To so-called “progressives,” like those who edit and report at the Times, the aftermath of the largest mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust—an event that also set in motion a surge of antisemitism around the world, and especially, in the United States—is the perfect time to lend credence to the tiny minority of Jews who sympathize more with the perpetrators of those crimes than the victims. As former White House speechwriter David Frum, who is now among the most bitter opponents of former President Donald Trump and pro-Israel Republicans, aptly put it, “On Day 100, the NYT features a closely reported profile of the Wicked Son from the Passover Seder. “What does all this mean to you?”

Anti-Zionists quoted in the piece are searching for a way to express their discontent not merely with Israel but with the entire concept of Jews possessing the power to defend themselves. Most prominent among them is Shaul Magid, a professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College, who touts himself as a champion of “diasporism.”

According to the Times, diasporism is a belief “that Jews must embrace marginality and a certain estrangement from Israel the country, and perhaps even Israel the place.” And it argues that this is a worldview that has deep roots in Jewish history.

There have been movements that specifically rejected Zionism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as the Socialists of the Bundist movement and the authors of Reform Judaism’s 1885 Pittsburgh Platform. But the attempt to link Magid’s thoughts—and those of the clique of anti-Zionists who write for the extremist left-wing publication Jewish Currents cited in the article that put forward a Marxist argument against Israel’s existence—to either of those movements is both deeply dishonest and drenched in hatred for Israel and its Jews.

Today’s “diasporists” share Magid’s belief in Jewish “marginality.”

They are appalled by the reality of Jews living fully Jewish lives, whether religious or secular, Ashkenazi or Mizrachi, right-wing or left-wing in a Jewish state where its citizens speak Hebrew and live by the Jewish calendar in their people’s ancient homeland. To them, Jewish powerlessness—the root cause of millennia of persecution and martyrdom that culminated in the Holocaust—is a good thing since it relieves Jews of the responsibility to govern or protect themselves. In this way, they can bask in the faux righteousness of victimhood, absolved of any guilt that comes from the difficult and complicated task of survival in a hostile world.

This is deeply wrong on several levels.

Those who claim that support for Jewish life and sovereignty in the land of Israel is marginal to Judaism—and those who do make that argument are usually antisemitic non-Jews—are betraying their abysmal ignorance. Israel is integral to Jewish observance, prayer and its most profound beliefs, as well as to the history of the Jews. For two millennia, Jews prayed every day for their lost homeland, for the rains to come in season there, and for the complete rebuilding of Jewish life and worship there. Nor was there ever any time in history since the Roman expulsion when Jews were completely absent from it despite the hardships, humiliations and persecutions exacted by various foreign conquerors, of whom the Arabs were only relative latecomers.

Top JNF Official: War Proves Again Israel Must Rely Only on Itself

The war against Hamas in Gaza and the subsequent wave of antisemitism around the world has demonstrated “very clearly” that Israel must rely only on itself and that Diaspora Jews must start a serious debate about the future of their communities, Samuel Hayek, the Israeli-born British chairman of JNF-UK, told The Algemeiner during a visit to Israel.

Hayek, who was visiting some of the southern Israeli communities that were massacred on October 7, said that the existence of Jewish life in the diaspora was of “tremendous strategic importance” to Israel.

But pointing to the UK in particular, Hayek said the Jewish community must begin addressing “hard questions” about its future.

“The most important thing is to create a forum that debates different aspects on Jewish life in the UK,” he said. “We need to ask ourselves, do we want to continue to live in fear?”

“Do we want to live in a place where we need to hide Jewish symbols? Do we want to where people drive through neighborhoods shouting for the destruction of Israel and calling for the rape and murder of Jews with megaphone?” he said, referencing a 2021 antisemitic incident.

Antisemitism in the UK has soared since the Oct. 7 atrocities. Protests occurring most weekends in London have drawn vast crowds, sometimes numbering in the hundreds of thousands, where people have been arrested for either chanting or displaying antisemitic slogans, or for expressing support for Hamas, proscribed as a terrorist organization in the UK.

“I urge everyone to consider the consequences of what we’ve seen in the streets of London, the magnitude of which took nearly everyone by surprise,” he said.

“If we don’t want to live this kind of life, and we don’t see prospects getting better, we need to make a decision about what kind of steps to take,” Hayek went on. He underscored that his views were expressed not in his capacity as the leader of JNF-UK, but rather as a “very worried Jew.”

Time for Honesty

Time to be brutally honest. The Jewish people are going through the most heartrending, horrific time in modern history. We were attacked unimaginably, followed by millions across the world cheering on our attackers before we had time to catch our breath and bury our dead. At the same time, we are privileged to be part of a Jewish awakening the likes of which we’ve never seen.

The Jewish nation has been inextricably linked to the Land of Israel for thousands of years. Our ancestors prayed the same words every day that Jews all over the world say today, and that prayer is filled with yearning to return to Israel and live as Jews where our forefathers walked and breathed. As a teenager, when I visited Israel for the first time, I felt the strongest pull I’ve ever felt in my life. Everything I learned, everything I prayed for came to life when I stepped off the plane at Ben Gurion Airport and felt the ground, the air, and looked at the cloudless and stunning blue sky. During that short two-week trip, I drank in every moment of being in Israel and even tried to convince my parents to lose my passport and let me stay (I was 14. They said no.)

From the moment I returned to the US after that trip, my heart had a huge, Israel-shaped hole in it. I prayed as I’d never prayed in my life that I would merit to return to Israel as soon as possible and join my nation in our incredible Land. During the three long remaining years of my childhood in the US, not a day went by when I didn’t think about, talk about, and learn about Israel. I have a slightly obsessive personality, as long-time readers may have noticed, and my full attention was turned towards Israel.

I could not understand the mindset of Jews in the US who had no intention of moving to Israel. It simply didn’t make sense to me. G-d had performed an open miracle in 1948, when He softened the hearts of the members of the UN who voted for the Jews to be given the right to officially govern our own Land, a Land that had never been devoid of Jews no matter who was in charge in previous eras. To me, it seemed like a slap in the face of G-d to reject this incredible gift and say “no thanks, I’d rather stay abroad”.

With endless thanks to G-d and my parents, we all made Aliyah (moved to Israel) once I finished high school. I woke up every day to a stunning view of Jerusalem that first year, and it was an actual dream that had come true.

Gaza Health Ministry Death Toll Now Exceeds Gaza Population (PreOccupied Territory)

Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory.

Check out their Facebook page.

Gaza City, January 18 - The grim civilian fatality statistics from Israel's ongoing operation in this coastal territory in the wake of a Hamas invasion of southern Israel on October 7 hit an unfortunate milestone today, surpassing the total number of civilians in the territory, according to Ministry of Health records.

The ministry announced today that the dead from Israeli air, naval, artillery, tank, and infantry fire stands at 2.05 million, compared to the entire Gaza Strip population, last recorded at 2.048 million.

Human rights groups condemned Israel for the ongoing onslaught. "This is a crime against humanity on an unprecedented scale," declared Human Rights Watch. "Never before in the history of warfare has an aggressor killed more noncombatants than there were noncombatants in the targeted area."

A statement by Médecins Sans Frontières sounded a similar tone. "The brutality of Israeli actions against innocent Gazans knows no bounds," it read. "This dark milestone represents an indictment not just of the Israeli military and its political superiors, but of the international community, which has failed repeatedly in the course of this war to stop Israel from its inhuman onslaught."

"What's more," MSF continued, "all of these casualties are children, medical personnel, journalists, and humanitarian aid workers, some of them all of the above."

Experts warned that if the release of Gaza Ministry of Health casualty figures continues at a similar rate, by mid-year the death toll there will exceed the global Palestinian population, estimated at about ten million.

"If Israel keeps bombing Gaza, these numbers are going to keep getting worse," warned Amnesty International. "In fact, in just a few years, if the Israeli assault keeps up, the number of Palestinian dead will top the entire population of Earth. Woe to the generation that stands idly by while such atrocities happen."

The same organizations adopted a circumspect, even skeptical, stance regarding the reports from inside Israel on and after October 7, which documented Palestinian atrocities including mass rape, mutilation, torture, kidnapping, looting, vandalism, arson, mass murder, and other crimes - with some members of the human rights groups adhering to "the IDF killed all those Israelis" and "Hamas treated captives well" fictions long after evidence from Hamas itself debunked them. Any statements by those organizations criticizing the October 7 massacres made sure never to mention Palestinian violence alone, always taking care to denounce, in close proximity to such mentions, Israeli actions aimed at bringing the perpetrators to justice and preventing recurrence.

By Daled Amos

The following is the conclusion of the second interview with Dr. Harold Rhode.

The idea of a two-state solution being pushed by the US State Department does not attract the Palestinian Arabs. They are not interested in the benefits Arabs have in Israel as opposed to in the surrounding states.

So why did the Palestinian Arabs sign the Oslo Accords?

Signatures on documents do not mean much in Arab culture. Two weeks after the signing of the Oslo Agreement, Arafat spoke at a mosque in South Africa. He told his listeners he did not sign a peace agreement with Israel. It was a truce. He compared the Oslo Accords to the ten-year truce their prophet Muhammad signed at Hudaybiya (near Mecca) with his enemies, the Qureysh.

Two years later, when Muhammad realized he was stronger than his enemies, he attacked and conquered Mecca -- so much for the 10-year truce with his enemy. Similarly, on October 7, 2023, Hamas and Iran saw Israel as divided and weak. But they miscalculated because this wasn’t Hudaybiya. They did not understand Israel’s internal fortitude.

But all is not lost when it comes to Israel-Arab relations.

Muslims can sign agreements with their opponents which –- unlike the Hudaybiya truce –- can be periodically renewed when they believe it is in their interests. Netanyahu knew that once they needed what Israel had to offer -- such as hi-tech, security, and investments -- the Arabs would be the ones reaching out for an agreement.

This is the reason why the Abraham Accords were signed.

Moreover, Muslims respect power. When President Trump killed Qasem Soleimani, Iran became relatively quiet, except for some small probing attacks. We saw this also in Iran's reaction to President Ronald Reagan before he came into office. Forty-five minutes before Reagan took the oath of office, Iran put the US hostages on a plane to freedom. Iran saw Reagan as a cowboy who would destroy them.

You can make things happen once you understand the Muslim respect for power.

In comparison, a compromise is a blot on your honor. In the Muslim world, compromise is a sign of weakness, encouraging others to strike back at you even harder. You cannot give in. The Americans have not yet learned the Muslim concept of compromise.

Concepts are not the same as words. Anybody can look up a word in a dictionary and translate it the way you like. We assume a concept means the same thing in every language. But cultures don't communicate -- they clash.

I once asked an Arab friend how he would translate the word "compromise." He thought about it for a week and came back to me. He said the closest he could get to it in Arabic was a word with the root N-Z-L. We both laughed because in Hebrew that root means "a runny nose." In Arabic, it means to get off your camel -- the common idea being to go down, that you humiliate yourself. That is what the Western concept of compromise means in Arabic.

Compromise means humiliation.

That is why there can be no two-state solution. At best, it would be a temporary solution, but it will be like Gaza: they will take what you give them and then use it against you. An agreement might be renewed over and over, but it is not designed to last and there is always the possibility it will fall apart. There may be others who will be better allies, especially if they are also Arabs and in the same clan. It is not a nice way to live, but then again, there is no such thing as peace.

That doesn't mean we cannot have long periods of quiet.

From Ian:

Melanie Phillips: The West’s lethal error in the war against Israel

In any moral universe, a set of people bent upon exterminating another would be treated as pariahs by the international community and their rights would be considered forfeit.

Yet America is even now insisting that the “route to peace” is through a Palestinian state that must be ruled by a “revitalized” and “reformed” P.A.

There’s zero chance of any such reform. Such a state would merely revitalize the capacity of the Palestinian Arabs to inflict yet more genocidal attacks on Israel.

America and Britain remain wedded to the “two-state solution” because they refuse to acknowledge that this conflict is not over a division of land. Instead, it is a war of annihilation against the Jewish homeland that has lasted for almost 100 years.

Moreover, the reason the conflict still endures is the behavior of the West itself.

Led by Britain in the 1930s, the West has consistently rewarded and incentivized Arab aggressors bent on destroying Israel, while it has prevented Israel from taking the measures necessary to see off the threat once and for all.

The essential prerequisite for any solution is for the West to withdraw support for Palestinian aggression and unequivocally back Israeli self-defense. Deprived of both Western funding and validation, the Palestinian agenda would fall apart.

Instead, the West continues to promote the murderous fiction that there are “good” Palestinians who deserve a state of their own—which would be a terror state with Israel at its mercy.

The West’s lethal error goes even deeper. America and the U.K. have failed to realize that, just as Hamas can’t be divorced from the Palestinians but are part of the same genocidal entity, so the war against Israel is merely the most neuralgic element of a civilizational war between the Muslim world and the West.

That war was declared in 1979, when the Islamic revolution in Iran galvanized and radicalized Sunni as well as Shi’ite Muslims across the world, helping to create al-Qaeda.

The new Iranian regime declared war on the West and has prosecuted that war ever since with virtually no pushback. Instead, Western appeasement has helped finance and bolster Iran’s terrorism, proxy wars and quest for hegemony.

That catastrophic strategy, combined with the West’s continued financing and support of the Palestinian agenda, enabled the Hamas pogrom and onslaught on Israel from multiple fronts in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Judea and Samaria.

This already metastasizing conflict is feared to presage a world war in which Russia and China join Iran against a West which has shown such lamentable enfeeblement in the Middle East.

Britain and America do not only insist that “bad” Hamas is different from the “good” Palestinians. They similarly claim that al-Qaeda, ISIS and other radical Islamists are merely rogue actors in an otherwise unthreatening Muslim world.

Both Britain and America have accordingly failed to recognize how jihadis intent upon conquering the West for Islam—as Hamas has said is its own ultimate aim—have tunneled into British and American democratic structures and institutions as devastatingly as they have tunneled into Israel from Gaza and Lebanon.

As a result of myopia, muddled thinking and moral cowardice, America and Britain are not just aiming to ensure that an Israel they protect from outright annihilation will nevertheless continue to twist in the murderous Islamist wind. They have also advertised to the enemies of civilization that the West itself is ripe for conquest.

West Point: Gaza’s Underground - Hamas’s Entire Politico-Military Strategy Rests on Its Tunnels

For the first time in the history of tunnel warfare, however, Hamas has built a tunnel network to gain not just a military advantage, but a political advantage, as well. Its underground world serves all of the military functions described above, but also an entirely different one. Hamas weaved its vast tunnel networks into the society on the surface. Destroying the tunnels is virtually impossible without adversely impacting the population living in Gaza. Consequently, they put the modern laws of war at the center of the conflict’s conduct. These laws restrict the use of military force and methods or tactics that a military can use against protected populations and sites such as hospitals, churches, schools, and United Nations facilities.

Almost all of Hamas’s tunnels are built into civilian and protected sites in densely populated urban areas. Much of the infrastructure providing access to the tunnels is in protected sites. This complicates discriminating between military targets and civilian locations—if not rendering it entirely impossible—because Hamas does not have military sites separate from civilian sites.

Hamas’s strategy is also not to hold terrain or defeat an attacking force. Its strategy is about time. It is about creating time for international pressure on Israel to stop its military operation to mount.

Hamas is globally known for using human shields, which is the practice of using civilians to restrict the attacker in a military operation. The group wants as many civilians as possible to be harmed by Israeli military action—as one of its officials put it, “We are proud to sacrifice martyrs.” It wants the world’s attention on the question of whether the IDF campaign is violating the laws of war in attacking Hamas tunnels that are tightly connected to civilian and protected sites. It wants to buy as much time as is needed to cause the international community to stop Israel. Its entire strategy is built on tunnels.

The tactical challenges Hamas tunnels present to Israel are thereby compounded by strategic challenges. To deal with tunnels at the tactical level, Israel has demonstrated some of the world’s most advanced units, methods, and capabilities to find, exploit, and destroy tunnels. From specialized engineer capabilities and canine units to the use of robots, flooding to clear tunnels, and both aerial-delivered and ground-emplaced explosives, to include liquid explosives, to destroy them. Arguably, no military in the world is as well prepared for subterranean tactical challenges as the IDF. But the strategic challenge is entirely different. To destroy many of the deep-buried tunnels, the IDF has required bunker-busting bombs, which Israel is criticized for using. And most importantly it has required time to find and destroy the tunnels in a conflict in which Hamas’s strategy is aimed at limiting the time available to Israel to conduct its campaign.

Hamas’s strategy, then, is founded on tunnels and time. This war, more so than any other, is about the underground and not the surface. It is time based rather than terrain or enemy based. Hamas is in the tunnels. Its leaders and weapons are in the tunnels. The Israeli hostages are in the tunnels. And Hamas’s strategy is founded on its conviction that, for Israel, the critical resource of time will run out in the tunnels.

Violent Pro-Palestine Demonstrations Are Not a Bug

Remarkably, many of these demonstrators, and the organizations that pay them and routinely bail them out, are also being supported by wealthy nonprofits such as the People’s Forum, and taxpayers (to the tune of $9 million in NYC). The highly politicized intersections of identity politics, wealthy domestic and foreign funders, and government backing certainly helps explain why these demonstrations have been allowed to continue, month after month, despite open calls for genocide and the destruction of public and private property, and the disruption they inflict on the lives of ordinary citizens.

Despite the volume of pro-Hamas protests—or maybe because of it—84% of Americans continue to support Israel over the terror group. Predictably, there’s also been a mounting backlash to the disruption inflicted by the protesters. “They antagonized people so much that they frightened people, to the point that they were not hearing what they were protesting about,” said Fernando Romero, president of Hispanics in Politics, after protesters interrupted a Jan. 5 event in Las Vegas where Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., was speaking and had to be escorted out a back door. In a viral video posted online on Jan. 8, a Black New Yorker was seen exiting his van and shoving protesters blocking traffic in New York City, yelling, “You can’t do that! It’s against the law! I have a daughter in Brooklyn … I have to get home!”

The trajectory of anti-Israel protests across America suggests a deeper, more unsettling trend. Far from a legitimate expression of opposition, they’ve morphed into a troubling display of ideological extremism and physical violence cloaked in the guise of social justice and backed by wealthy domestic radicals and by foreign states like Qatar, the primary global sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood. The reckless tolerance of this continuing level of radicalism and disruption does a profound disservice to the principles of democracy and civil discourse. Whatever one believes the rights and wrongs of the Israeli-Arab conflict to be, allowing violent demonstrators calling for genocide and supporting terror organizations like Hamas and the Houthis to own the streets of Western democracies sends a very dangerous message—one that threatens the fabric of a society built on liberal values and legitimate dissent.

Brooklyn imam: "We aren't against 'Zionists,' but Jews

At the Fort Hamilton Islamic Society of Bay Ridge, a Brooklyn imam admits that Islam considers all Jews to be the enemy, not the "Zionists."

It's all in English.

From MEMRI:

Imam: "It is important that we are able to identify criminals properly, because what you find the majority of people allowing us to say is that this is a conflict between Zionists and Islam or Zionists and the Palestinian people. That is interesting that the media or society allows us to say the word 'Zionists' but will never allow us to say the word 'Jewish.' And so you should ask yourselves, why I am even being allowed to say the word 'Zionists' unless this word is a red herring, a word that is actually not true or has falsehood to it and so I am allowed to say it because they know that we have still not identified the true target and the true oppressors. Zionism, they say, was created in 1945, I ask you, what about the incident of Ashab Al-Ukhdud, the people of the trench? The king at that time was Jewish, and he told his community that if they refused to accept Judaism he would kill them all. What do we call that? Was he a Zionist or was that Jewish extremism?
[...]
"Consider with me for a moment. If they have been living in this situation for the past 75 years, and in the past 75 years, just imagine with me for a moment, they embraced Judaism and left Islam, left Christianity. Would they fight them for this piece of land? If they embraced Judaism in the last 75 years, gave up their rights and said 'this is an Israeli state, I am Jewish now,' would they fight them?
[...]
"They are fighting them because of Islam. They are not fighting them only because they are Arab, they are fighting them because of their faith. And if they would just buckle and give up their faith and abandon their religion and abandon belief in Allah and obedience to His messenger and would roll over and would accept Judaism, like others have, only Allah knows whether there would be a conflict there today."

Ashab Al-Ukhdud is an incident mentioned in the Quran where a Jewish convert king of Himyar, Dhu Nuwas, supposedly threw a bunch of Christians into a burning pit for refusing to convert to Judaism like him. He is not exactly a household name among Jews, and no one looks at him as a hero or role model.

But to this bigot, he represents all Jews for all time.

I have to say, though, I prefer antisemites to be honest about it.

Ahmed Majdalani, a member of the Executive Committee of the PLO and the current social affairs minister in the Palestinian government, is being heavily criticized by Palestinian activists for calling Hamas a "terrorist organization."

Speaking on Al Arabiya's Al-Hadath channel, Majdalani said, “Hamas is a terrorist organization in its current form, its current program, and its current political discourse, and it may be part of the solution [only] if it abandons armed resistance.”

Majdalani said Hamas should "rely on a solution based on international legitimacy resolutions and international law,” saying that if this happens, it will be a “fundamental change” in Hamas’s doctrine.

All of these are entirely consistent with what the PA has been telling the West for years. But Majdalani apparently didn't get the memo that with Hamas' huge popularity among Palestinians since October 7, he must not say anything negative about them or their actions, in the name of "Palestinian unity."

The Palestinian National and Islamic Forces issued a statement saying, “We condemn in the strongest terms the statements that depart from the national consensus made by the minister in the Shtayyeh government, Ahmed Majdalani, to Al-Arabiya channel, in which he speaks with the mouth of the occupation, describing the Hamas movement as a terrorist!”

The statement continued, "These statements are unpatriotic and represent a departure from the national consensus, and they are an instrument to serve the occupation and its agenda aimed at striking the national unity and steadfastness of the Palestinian people who are facing a war of genocide and torture in Gaza and the West Bank."

They demanded his removal from his positions.

The invocation of "unity" is a remarkable thing. It means that the most extreme, violent components of Palestinian political structure have control over everyone else. The more explicit terror groups rarely subscribe to the idea of "unity" and public agreement with the more moderate policies - the unity only goes one way, towards the extremists.

This is partially because of the Arab honor/shame dynamic. Public disagreements (especially in front of the West) are shameful, and the illusion of Palestinian unity must be maintained, even when everyone knows that Hamas and the PA are bitter enemies.

As a result, even moderate Palestinian media will not criticize Hamas for its dragging the region into a potential war and for putting the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza in danger. (This also applies to Arab media altogether.) And this fear of being shamed for public disagreements means that Arab media will not publish anything against the most heinous terror acts - and therefore the people will reflexively support even terror groups associated with the Muslim Brotherhood like Hamas that are largely despised in normal times.

88% of the Arab world supports the 10/7 massacre as "a legitimate operation"

The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies released the results of a survey of the Arab world last week, and it shows that the overwhelming majority of Arabs consider the 10/7 pogrom to be "legitimate."

A total of 88% considered the attack legitimate, while only 5% considered it illegitimate. 67% considered it entirely legitimate, 19% say it was legitimate but Hamas made some mistakes, and 2% admitted that it included heinous or criminal acts - but was still legitimate.

Among Palestinians surveyed in the West Bank, 0% - yes, statistically nobody - considered 10/7 illegitimate. 11% said some mistakes were made and 4% admitted it included heinous acts, but was legitimate anyway.

Libya and Jordan supported the attack even more than Palestinians in the West Bank d0, although a tiny percentage considered it criminal.

Citizens of Arab countries across the board considered the terror attack to be legitimate. But the UAE and Bahrain were not included in this survey.

Even though this survey showing near unanimous support for the October 7 terror attack among Arabs was released a week ago, major media ignored the survey. Because telling the world how supportive the Arab world is of attacking civilian is not something the media wants the world to know.

51% of Arabs say that the United States is the biggest threat to the security of the Middle East - far higher than Israel, for which 26% considered the most dangerous. Iran got only 7%.

The survey also found that the vast majority of the Arab world - 84% - felt a great deal of psychological stress as a result of the war. The respondents that showed the least stress over the war were - Palestinians from the West Bank!

69% of Arabs support Gazans and Hamas, while 23% say they support the people of Gaza but oppose Hamas.

Again, the huge support for Hamas by the Arab world at large contradicts the conventional wisdom that the media and Western politicians have been carefully cultivating of a moderate and peace-loving Arab majority. Killing and raping Jews is very, very popular in the Arab world.

People ignore the facts at their own peril.

From Ian:

NGO Monitor: The Global Samidoun Network: Mapping Branches in Europe and North America

Founded in 2012, and designated by Israel as a terror entity in 2021, Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network promotes the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization through an international network of activists. Samidoun branches, including in Western countries, publicly support and celebrate the PFLP, its actions and its leaders; campaign for the release of jailed PFLP members; and promote anti-Israel campaigns. Moreover, Samidoun advocates for Palestinians’ “natural right to armed resistance.”

Samidoun does not publish financial information, including funding sources and annual income. In the US, according to its website, “Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is a fiscally sponsored project of the Alliance for Global Justice, a 501(c)(3) Organization.” Samidoun is also a registered not-for-profit in Canada (since March 2021).

The February 2021 designation of Samidoun by the Israeli Ministry of Defense identifies the organization as an arm of the PFLP. A press statement accompanying the designation added that Samidoun was founded by “members of the PFLP in 2012,” and that it “plays a leading and significant role in the PFLP’s anti-Israel propaganda efforts, fundraising, and recruiting activists,” serving as a “front for the PFLP abroad.” In 2020, Germany expelled Samidoun head Khaled Barakat and imposed a four-year entry ban; his appeal was rejected, citing PFLP links and “support for a terrorist organization.” In 2022, Barakat was denied entry into the EU.

This report provides representative examples of the activities of major Samidoun chapters and key activists in Europe and North America. This includes supporting the PFLP and its members, justifying the use of violence, and incitement against the state of Israel.1

While the network operates on several continents, and has a notable presence in Iran, this document addresses Samidoun activities in Canada, France, the Netherlands, the US, Germany, and Belgium.2

‘The left has become Hamas’s useful idiots’

Ever since Hamas’s 7 October pogrom, Western cities have been overwhelmed by anti-Israel protests on a near-weekly basis. These demos have, without fail, descended into carnivals of anti-Semitism. Yet the self-styled anti-racists on the progressive left have remained silent about this Jew hatred. Many of them have marched side by side with Islamist anti-Semites. Many of them have made openly anti-Semitic comments themselves. How did we get here? Can the left ever recover from this staggering moral lapse?

Jake Wallis Simons – editor of the Jewish Chronicle – returned to The Brendan O’Neill Show to discuss the new anti-Semitism and much more. What follows is an edited extract from their conversation. Listen to the full episode here.

Brendan O’Neill: What do you think the so-called pro-Palestine marches tell us about people’s views after the 7 October pogrom?

Jake Wallis Simons: It tells us a lot about what we should be afraid of in Britain. The skeleton of the marches, in particular, was very interesting. In October, we published a story in the Jewish Chronicle where we exposed the fact that four out of the six groups heading the marches had leaders with strong and explicit connections to Hamas. These people had gone to Gaza and met with Hamas leadership. They were fairly open about it, too.

Up and down the country you have also had radical preachers in mosques openly arguing from the pulpit in support of Hamas. It is a crime in Britain to support Hamas, which is a proscribed terrorist organisation. Yet these preachers were openly flouting the law, filming their preachings and putting them up on X. And the police are still doing the square root of bugger all about it. In fact, Scotland Yard has instead been investigating Israeli war crimes in Gaza. They’ve been putting up signs asking any witnesses to please come forward so that the police can investigate said crimes. This is the same police force that has for decades failed to enforce the law by arresting jihadists.

This has been particularly clear during the marches, where many of the protesters have been incredibly intimidating. Early on, there was an attack on a brave Iranian activist who was flying an Israeli flag at one of the marches. He was pursued and threatened with beheading. The police managed to protect him, but one of his aggressors was found to be carrying a knife. These are the kinds of people attending the marches.

And then there’s the outer-corona of useful idiots, almost exclusively from the political left. These are people who probably know very little about the particulars of the conflict. Various videos have exposed that. Students in the US, for example, were asked which sea was being referred to in the chant, ‘From the river to the sea’. Answers varied from the Caribbean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.

UK group ‘deeply sorry’ its journal scrapped Jewish trauma article

The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which represents more than 60,000 mental-health professionals across England and Wales, stated earlier this month that it is “deeply sorry” that it didn’t publish an article titled “A community in traumatic stress,” as well as “for the hurt that decision has caused.”

The article, by the psychologist Sandi Mann, a senior lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire, had been slated to appear in the association’s journal Workplace. The association subsequently posted the article online.

“It will also go in the next print version of the journal,” Mann wrote on LinkedIn. “This is a very important victory against the culture of threats and intimidation that Jews are facing in the UK today.”

“When Hamas committed its horrendous massacre of approximately 1,200 Israeli civilians and abduction of over 240 men, women and children on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023, the impact on the local Jewish communities in the UK was immediate,” Mann wrote in the journal article. “The impact of the terrorist atrocities was to send the local Jewish communities into a state of traumatic stress.”

Mental-health professionals at the Jewish Action for Mental Health, which Mann chairs, “quickly became burned out” by soaring demands following the attack, “not just to provide therapy but to speak at events, hold Zoom sessions and even to offer Zoom support to the traumatized in Israel,” she wrote. “When desperate people look to us to make them better and we can’t take away the pain, that is tough—when this happens at a mass level for so long, it can become unbearable.”

“I hope that no community in the UK ever needs to benefit from what we have learnt about mass trauma response—but if they do, we are ready to help,” Mann concluded.

Arab media antisemitism is off the charts

I have never seen the sheer volume of antisemitism in Arab media as there is nowadays.

Here is the top picture in an article in an Arab cultural newspaper, part of a series on how Jews are portrayed in movies. I'm not even sure what point the author is trying to make, but the graphic artist is pretty clear was to how they want the reader to look at The Jew.

Or this article in Egypt's popular Al Masry al-Youm:

“ I learned about their roles in the extremist homosexual movement, the radical feminist movement, and the pornography industry, in addition to their excessive contribution to encouraging and making abortions available to non-Jews .”

“ I discovered their role in organized crime, the slave trade, the civil rights movement, and Freemasonry .”

“ I read about the hatred of those committed to the Babylonian Talmud for non-Jews, their complete lack of respect for Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, Christianity, and Christians in general, and the facts that Christ himself killed them .”

“ I learned about the (impudence) in their claim that the lives of nations are worth no more than the lives of barnyard animals, but they consider that the lives of Jews are closer to God Himself. There is nothing wrong with stealing from non-Jews or killing a Gentile, but the lives of Jews are sacred .”

“ I learned that they control the majority of wealth, the media, and academia, even though they constitute less than 2% of the population in the United States, and much less than that of humanity, which is 18 million out of 8 billion people .”

The writer continues, saying: “They are behind the movement to legislate hate crimes that was formulated to silence anyone who might expose their agenda and try to shed light on it .”

Multiple articles like this are published every single day. And no one is talking about it.

“Never trust an Arab—even when he is dead!” So said Abu Musa to my husband some 40-plus years ago. Abu Musa was a shyster contractor who knew how to overcharge his Jewish customers and get away with it. Dov was a student in the yeshiva under the tutelage of the man who was currently being ripped off by Abu Musa. Sometimes Dov, not long in Israel, would chat up Abu Musa to learn a bit of Arabic, and something about Arab culture, too.

Well, Dov learned something, all right. He learned from an Arab, never to trust an Arab.

It’s a difficult lesson for people who grew up like me and my husband; that we dare not trust a certain, specific people. We were raised to believe that this is wrong. Our parents taught us to judge people on the content of their character and to be polite and respectful to people no matter what they look like or believe.

For example, there was a home for disabled children located not far from my childhood home. Sometimes, a caregiver would take two or three children for a walk in the neighborhood. My mother taught me that if we passed them on the street, not to stare, and to smile and be polite the same as with any other passersby. These children had obvious, moderately severe disabilities. So my mother was preparing me for a shock, at the same time telling me not to show the shock because it would be rude and hurtful to do so.

The first lesson happened in real time. My mother explained things to me quietly, as we were about to pass by some of the children with their caregiver. There was no need for a second lesson. The next time we saw a group of kids and their caregiver up ahead, my mother didn’t say a word. She gave my hand a subtle squeeze and that was a sufficient reminder and review of what—and what not—to do. Lesson learned.

There were other lessons I learned from my parents. My late father loved to quote Dale Carnegie, “Don’t criticize, condemn, or complain.”

But most of these lessons were taught without words. My parents treated the few black people they knew, the same as everybody else. No one had to brief me on the subject, or nod at me when we were about to encounter someone with skin a different color, or eyes a different shape from my own. I learned by example that someone’s appearance is not a reason to hate.

This is what I was taught it meant to be a nice person. To understand that people come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and to refrain from judging them on these things. To treat everyone as you would want to be treated, with respect.

That is how I was raised as a Jewish American from a middle class home. I know that my peers, and certainly my husband, from a remarkably similar background, were raised the same way. And still, here I am, someone who doesn’t trust an entire people, specifically the Arab people. It’s not about their ethnicity, or their color, but the fact that the Arab people have earned our mistrust. Too many times, it was that nice Arab worker who came back to rape and murder their employer.

I don’t trust Arabs and it’s not only about October 7. I didn’t trust Arabs long before that black day. I know of too many examples of trusted Arabs who proved to be terrorist monsters and of too many horrendous examples of Arab terror.

I no longer have to explain this to friends who once said, “I can’t be friends with anyone who says they ‘hate’ Arabs.”

It is sad really, how many of us Israelis feel sad that when it comes to Arabs, we are not able to apply what we learned in our homes about being nice people. We distrust Arabs, even if we don’t know them as individuals and there are no outward signs of anything amiss. With good reason. October 7 being the turning point for many good people.

The Arabs give us no choice. It’s a matter of life or death, this lack of trust. At the same time, not every Arab is untrustworthy. The problem is, there’s no way to know. And if you want to stay alive, it’s better to be safe and mistrust, than trust and be dead.

I have exactly two Arab friends. Or “had.” One of the two is now dead, and still I trust him more than most living people, despite Abu Musa. He found a way to prove his loyalty to me and my people. The other Arab friend is thankfully alive, and has proven his loyalty to the Jewish State a thousand times over (as did his father before him).

The others? In some cases, “trust, but verify” works.

For example, the nice, normal Arab clerk at the desk in dermatology at Hadassah. She’s wearing a hijab, which could be a sign of extremism, but we’re only going to have limited interaction, so I can be “normal” with her. It’s a question, I guess, of good faith. She’s being polite and professional, and deserves to be treated like a normal human being. Sure, she could self-detonate and kill herself and every Jew in the waiting room at any given moment, but me being rude to her probably wouldn’t change her mind.

Two months after October 7, with all of us more suspicious of Arabs, an Arab woman knocked into my husband and made him spill hot coffee on himself. He brushed off his clothes and muttered something under his breath and that would probably have been that. Except that the woman ran after us to apologize profusely, rummaging through her handbag and offering up a package of wet wipes. (I can still see the package in my mind’s eyes, it was an Arab brand of wet wipes we don’t see in our stores. They were lemon-scented.) She was really sorry and she was kind. And she, too, was wearing a hijab.

We would never have seen her again. She didn’t have to run up to us and apologize a gazillion times and try to give Dov her wet wipes. The possibility occurs that in the wake of October 7, she was trying to tell us, “Not all of us support terror. Not all of us are filled with hate and trying to kill you/rape you/torture you/kidnap you/shoot missiles at you/,” and etc.

Or maybe she just wanted everyone in the vicinity to see that, “Oh, look. Here’s a good Arab. They still exist.”

How can I know? How can I possibly know? The answer is I can’t, and that answer comes straight from the lips of a shyster Arab contractor, “Never trust an Arab. Even when he is dead.”

For all I know Abu Musa himself, is dead. But take his advice to heart. Be he live or be he dead, he’s not to be trusted if you value your life.

Melanie Phillips: We need to face up to the scale of the axis against Israel

The Conservative MP Andrew Percy has accused the BBC of putting British Jews directly at risk through its coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Absolutely. The BBC’s relentless portrayal of the Israelis not as the victims of genocidal terror but as hard-hearted, vengeful and wanton killers of children and the innocent has channelled ancient antisemitic tropes of Jewish blood-lust and helped fuel an enormous increase in attacks on Jews.

As Percy said, the BBC’s double standards on Israel, treating patently absurd civilian casualty figures from Hamas as reliable while casting doubt on Israeli statements, present Israel rather than Hamas as the aggressor and rogue actor.

A principal offender has been the Today programme presenter, Mishal Husain. Interviewing the Defence Secretary Grant Shapps on Monday, she unleashed a barrage of distorted and out-of-context quotes to demonise Israel as a bloodthirsty aggressor.

Claiming that the IDF spokesman, Rear-Admiral Daniel Hagari, had said in October that “our focus is on creating damage not precision,” and that Israel’s defence minister, Yoav Gallant, had said “we will eliminate everything” in Gaza, Husain said these remarks suggested Israel wasn’t acting within international law and might be why “so many Palestinians have died”.

Yet as the Guardian acknowledged on 5 December, Hagari had been mistranslated. He had actually said: “While balancing accuracy with the scope of damage, right now we’re focused on what causes maximum damage”.

Gallant’s words have been taken out of context. He had said: “Gaza won’t return to what it was before, and Hamas will not exist. We will eliminate everything”. He meant eliminating Hamas, not Gaza’s civilians.

In any event, what matters is not what’s said but what Israel does. For the ratio of civilians to combatants killed by Israel is around two to one.

This is far fewer than the proportion of civilians killed in war by any other nation’s army — and when taking into account the Hamas rockets falling short into Gaza and killing its people, fewer still.

Most disgusting of all was how Husain twisted Benjamin Netanyahu’s reference to the ancient Israelites’ biblical foe, Amalek, when he said: “We remember, and we are fighting.”

Husain claimed that “Amalek” involved the injunction to spare no-one and destroy “every man, woman and child, sheep, camel and donkey”. And she suggested this was the cause of Israel’s rate of death and destruction in Gaza.

Col. Tim Collins: There's No Solution in Gaza or the Red Sea until Iran Is Contained

The Iranian mullahs must be disabused of the notion that war is a viable pathway for them by a strong and coherent international response led by the U.S. Iran has a long history of directing its coalition of the damned, carefully constructed by the late Major General Qassim Soleimani, against the West, to achieve Iran's revolutionary aims across the Middle East.

The Houthi rebels, Shia tribesmen from Yemen, are part of Iran's al-Quds Force network of subversive groups. It also includes Hizbullah in Lebanon, the Popular Mobilization militias in Iraq, the regime forces of Syria, and Hamas, until lately in control of Gaza.

It is time to raise our collective gaze to the real cause of the attacks: Iran. Iran acts directly as well as through its proxies, boarding and seizing ships not only close to its coast in the Strait of Hormuz but further afield as well, most recently in the Gulf of Oman.

The international community must present a course of action toward Iran aimed at curtailing its activities and those of its proxies. It would be a waste of time to do this through the UN.

Only once Iran is contained can we get back to finding a solution to the conflict in Gaza without a gun to our heads.

No Israeli Would Ever Be Safe amid Capitulation to Hamas

Israel must destroy the military capabilities of Hamas and prevent its leadership in Gaza from holding on to power there. This means the IDF must not at this time, or in the near future, end the fighting and withdraw from Gaza. If the Hamas infrastructure remains in place and its senior leadership remains unharmed, then no Israeli can be safe. An IDF withdrawal of forces from Gaza would be regarded as a capitulation to Hamas. It would be a complete sacrifice of the security of Israelis and would have significant strategic consequences.

We would all be at risk of being kidnapped by any Iranian proxy. No Israeli would be able to travel safely abroad without fearing abduction, and that is especially true for the young travelers who visit third world countries. Furthermore, even a weekend getaway in the north would be risky.

If Israel allows Hamas to remain in power in Gaza, they would only prepare for the next murderous assault from that border, while Israel's deterrence for all of its enemies would be lost, and any will of moderate Arab nations to normalize their relations with Israel would diminish.

For Israelis to live with a modicum of security, the IDF must be allowed to complete its mission to destroy the Hamas military infrastructure above and bellow ground and remove its leaders.

The Lancet casualty methodology helps prove that Gaza deaths have been greatly exaggerated over the past month

In early December, The Lancet published a peer-reviewed study that sought to prove that the Gaza Ministry of Health casualty counts were largely accurate.

Their methodology was to compare the number of deaths per thousand reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health with the number of deaths per thousand of UNRWA employees, which were counted independently by UNRWA and not the Hamas ministry.

They found that the two death rates were roughly the same (actually, UNRWA's was higher), indicating that the health ministry was not exaggerating the total number of deaths.

The methodology is flawed. It makes an assumption that everyone in Gaza has an equal chance of being killed, meaning that Israel is killing people randomly and indiscriminately. This is not only a false assumption, but an antisemitic one.

Indeed, one reason UNRWA workers could have been killed at a higher rate is because none of them are children - and more than half of them are males of fighting age. About two thirds of the first 101 killed were men, a higher percentage than the percentage of male employees at UNRWA (about 54% across UNRWA, not sure about Gaza itself.) Chances are that at least some of the UNRWA casualties were also legal combatants, either actively participating or acting as "spotters" or other support.

But there's another problem with this. If the Lancet methodology is correct, then it should be correct for every month of the war, not just the first month.

But over the past month, from December 15 to January 15, Hamas claims 5200 people were killed - 2.4 per thousand. But only 15 UNRWA employees were killed in that same timeframe - only 1.1 per thousand! (I'm assuming 13,500 UNRWA employees and 2.2 million total population of Gaza, which seems to be The Lancet's numbers.)

Using the Lancet's own methodology, even assuming the false assumption that UNRWA employees represent the entire population of Gaza rather than only adults and primarily males, the number of deaths claimed by Hamas is over double what their methodology would predict!

That's thousands of false Gaza deaths - using the methodology of this peer-reviewed paper.

Even if we accept that the Gaza health ministry had accurate information for the first month of the war, logic indicates that as Gaza infrastructure has deteriorated, the reliability of their figures has gone down as well. As we showed earlier, even the UN no longer parrots the Hamas claims that 70% of the deaths are women and children. There is no reason to believe the ministry of health figures over the past two months given that we know their "70% women and children" number is pure propaganda.

Which strongly indicates that Hamas is mandating how many deaths to claim, and the relationship with reality is increasingly tenuous as the war goes on and as Hamas sees its figures accepted as truth worldwide.

Beyond that, would the Lancet even consider publishing a paper using the exact same methodology for the time period of December 15-January 15 as I've shown here? I highly doubt it. Which shows how even "peer reviewed" papers can be biased, even when their numbers are accurate - the researchers and editors are looking only to publish papers that confirm their biases, and they won't even bother to look at anything that shows that disproves their biases.

But if any doctors and statisticians want to take this data and submit it to this formerly prestigious journal - data that thoroughly rebuts the first paper - it would be instructive to see whether they are honest enough to publish it.

(If you are wondering, the data for November 10-December 15 shows a 2.5/1000 death rate for UNRWA employees and 3.5/1000 for Hamas figures of Gaza' general population - also a significant difference, but not as striking as the most recent month.)

Khaled Abdel Rahman Al-Awad, writing in Saudi newspaper Al Bilad Daily, asserts, "Zionists believe that other nations are inferior to the Jews and that they deserve to be exterminated and killed, and some of their officials have boldly stated this publicly."

His "proof" is really something:

This story that reveals this abhorrent racism: a Jew named Shaul Simonov left the Soviet Union heading to New York City when Menachem Begin was head of state for Zionism, specifically to the Brooklyn neighborhood where many Jews live without fear, surveillance, or contempt. Simonov felt proud when he saw his fellow citizens living in this Jewish neighborhood with freedom, reassurance, and prosperity.

He was reading the names of the shops on the street with pride, as they were written in English and Hebrew. But this joy and euphoria quickly disappeared when he was struck by a sign in English above a shop selling sandwiches with the words “No Jews allowed to enter” written on it in clear language. Shaul Simonov felt very angry because he did not expect this hateful racism that spoiled his happy moment, and he decided to enter this racist buffet.

He said to the shop owner: "I am Shaul Simonov, an immigrant from Odessa. I came just to get acquainted." The shop owner replied with a smile: "I am Moshe Levi Kaganovich, an immigrant from Ukraine. "

Saul was silent for a while, then exploded, saying: "So are you a Jew like us, and are you insulting your brothers and family? Why do you forbid them to eat and drink in this place?"

Moshe Levi Kaganovich interrupted him whispering: "Have you tasted my food? Did you see how we prepare food in this kitchen before you accused me of anti-Semitism? Come and see for yourself!"

Simonov felt very happy, as this food and drink were not appropriate for God's chosen people. This filth, fraud, and high prices are only suitable for non-Jewish infidels, or goyim, as they are called in Hebrew. Simonov blessed this noble act and left the store looking at that sign, smiling maliciously and devilishly.

It is pretty obvious that this never happened. It was probably a perversion of an old Jewish joke.

But it "proves" how evil Jews are to Saudi readers!

I mentioned yesterday that Gazan shopkeepers and drivers are charging exorbitant rates to take advantage of people's distress instead of working together to help each other as Israelis are doing during the war.

Another story in a similar vein was published in Sada News - this one about moneychangers.

Gaza workers who normally get their salaries from ATM machines are now at the mercy of moneychangers who are charging as much as 15%:

The banks are closed and the ATMs are destroyed, and until the employee gets the money in his hands, he will go through a journey of exploitation, from people who have “cash” in their hands, and they charge commissions ranging between 5-7-10-15% for the exchange!

This forces the employee to agree to the fees despite the clear exploitation of people's circumstances during the most difficult times they are going through.

The matter is not limited to moneychangers only, but Sada learned that commercial stores were able to partially open their doors recently, disbursing employees’ salaries in the same way, “transferring the value of the salary through banking applications, and when notification arrives of the completion of the transfer process, the employee is given his salary, minus a commission he specifies. He charges money as he pleases.”

This also affected remittances that reach citizens from abroad, for example via Western Union, in exchange for which they are disbursed with large commissions of up to 15%.

They are such wonderful people!
