All The News Anti-Israel Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss 2

Palestinians in the West Bank will be able to fly abroad through Israel’s Ramon Airport starting later this month, Israel’s Airports Authority announced Tuesday.

Under the initiative, flights will be offered twice a week to the Turkish resort city of Antalya beginning at the end of August, and to Istanbul in September. They will be run by the carriers Atlas and Pegasus on Airbus A321 planes.

A group of Israel hating groups that have the word "Jewish" or a Hebrew word in their names issued a statementagainst Israel's attack on Islamic Jihad.


We, member groups of the International Jewish Collective for Justice in Palestine, are filled with sorrow and outrage at Israel’s unprovoked aerial bombardment of the community of Gaza, Palestine. We condemn it and its dishonest rhetoric.

This is not a dispute between two sides. An occupying military is attacking an occupied, blockaded community. Israel called this a ‘pre-emptive’ assault, although it provided no evidence for its just-in-case bombardment of crowded cities. Israel has no legal right to military aggression to bolster a blockade which is, itself, in violation of law. This has nothing to do with Israel’s self-defense. We saw with our eyes that it is occupied Gaza that needs defense, and has the right to defend itself.

Meaning, they support thousands of rockets to Israeli cities.
In three days, Israel killed 44 Palestinians including 15 children, and wounded 350. Scores of Gazan families are homeless and 650 homes were damaged in just the first 24 hours. No Israelis were killed.
By the time this statement came out, even Palestinians knew quite well that many of the dead came from Islamic Jihad rockets. The Palestinian Center for Human Rights counts 27 dead, because it knows that most of the children killed were killed by the terror groups. And many of those 27 were killed by terrorist rockets as well that PCHR doesn't admit.
Israel chose to attack a besieged community on Tisha B’Av – a day when Jews lament our losses by siege, two thousand years ago. This choice shames the religion that Israel appropriates to launder the image of its settler colonialist project.

Of course, what would an anti-Israel letter from As-A-Jews be without throwing in a mention of something Jewish? Tisha B'Av is about not hating one's fellow Jew, and this letter is the perfect example of baseless hatred against the vast majority of Jews in the world.

Who is appropriating religion? These groups' entire purpose is to weaponize Judaism to attack the Jewish state.

So here's the list of the As-A-Jew signatory organizations who are willing to lie and promote antisemitic terror, in the name of a religion that they use only to attack Jews.

Last month I reported that the advisory panel for USAID, the American aid agency that funnels millions of dollars to Palestinian organizations, has recommended that the US should build institutions in Area C, ostensibly to promote Israeli-Palestinian cooperation.

However, these institutions would almost certainly not be available to Jews who already live in Area C, meaning that they would be effectively a way for USAID to take land away from under Israeli control and give it to Palestinians.

One of the more outrageous proposals mentioned was to build an entire university in Area C for Palestinian use.

Now, Israel's Channel 14 is reporting that Joe Biden supports the idea.

From the Arabic Ultrapal news site:
Israeli Channel 14 said, on Wednesday, that US President Joe Biden gave oral approval to a request submitted by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to establish a Palestinian university in an area classified as C according to the Oslo Accords.

She added, that a senior official in (USAID) confirmed to her the news, and that the agency recently held a closed meeting to discuss this file after Biden's approval, and an informal tour is expected in the coming weeks to choose the land that will be allocated to the university buildings.

She noted that USAID officials presented the idea to Biden during his recent visit to Jerusalem.
As I wrote, USAID programs are supposed to be officially joint Israeli-Palestinian initiatives, but if Palestinians are meant to reap the benefits, why not place them where the Palestinians mostly live?

The MEPPA funding program behind these ideas has two goals: economic development of the Palestinian private sector and "person to person" peacebuilding programs. Building a Palestinian high tech university on Israeli-controlled lands is not either of these - it is a land grab. Even if some of the instructors are Israelis.

I don't know if the USAID officials were taking advantage of Biden's possible confusion, or if Biden understands that this is a direct challenge to Israel's rights.

As Jews and Asians continue to come under attack in New York City, volunteers forming an Asian Community Watch group are taking lessons from a long-standing Jewish neighborhood safety patrol.

Through an initiative led by New York City Republican Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, members of Flatbush Shomrim (Hebrew for “watchers”) in Brooklyn, NY, are training volunteers from an Asian neighborhood in Vernikov’s district on how to run a successful community safety patrol.

Flatbush Shomrim executive coordinator Bob Moskovitz told JNS that his organization, which was formed three decades ago, is trying to serve as a guide and mentor for its Asian neighbors.



“These are community members who mostly have no clue exactly what it is that they’re doing regarding starting and running an effective safety patrol,” said Moskovitz, highlighting the notable exception of retired NYPD Deputy Chief Dewey Fong.

Moskovitz said the Asian Community Watch consists of around a half-dozen people. In two meetings so far, Shomrim has tried to help them lay the groundwork, discussing operations, strategies, funding and other issues that are involved in creating a new patrol.

“I explained to them the whole nine yards. Who they have to recruit, what they should be looking for, who they want to represent an organization,” he said.

“We had a meeting with the police precinct commanding officer, and he is on board with the whole thing because it’s obviously a necessity. This is a process. I can’t impart the experience of 31 years in a couple of hours or even a couple of months; we’re starting slowly,” he added.

There have been 51 confirmed hate crimes against Asians in New York City this year, as of the end of June, according to the NYPDHate Crimes Dashboard.



Fong told JNS that the Shomrim has been helpful so far in imparting their experience patrolling their largely Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn.

“The Shomrim invited us for a ride-along with their patrol, so we could see firsthand how they operate. They opened their knowledge to us, and we will take our lead from them,” he said.

Since a Palestinian mob attempted to lynch Tunisia’s prime minister in 1964 for suggesting peace with Israel, the “Arab Street” has come a long way. Even a warm handshake between Israel’s army chief, Aviv Kohavi, and senior Moroccan defense officials in the north African country elicited little reaction. The Arabic-speaking publics are too preoccupied with their own problems to demonstrate in support of the Palestinians.


Nearly sixty years ago, Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba was nearly lynched in Jordan’s Baqa’a refugee camp for suggesting normalizing relations with Israel as a strategy to bring down the Jewish state. He claimed that Jews were innately a roving, trading diaspora people. Allow Israelis to trade among us, he contended, and the Sephardim would soon emigrate from Israel and return to their commercial pursuits in the Arab states they had fled, leaving Israel an empty shell.


The story’s significance is not in Bourguiba’s analysis – Israel’s Jewish population (like its Arab citizens) enjoys traveling abroad and engaging in international business while keeping Israel as their beloved home base. The Jewish population in Israel has more than doubled since Bourguiba escaped from death, and Israel is one of two non-European countries in the top ten of the World Happiness Index.


What is significant about Bourguiba’s bout with the Palestinian mob is how much it reflects on the dramatic shift of the “Arab Street” toward Israel, particularly the Abraham Accords process in what is known as “normalization” in the Arab world. Of course, normalization, tatbi’ in Arabic, may remain a derogatory term in the lexicon of intellectuals and the Arab street, perhaps even to the point of being a curse word. Still, the fact is that the Arab world’s reaction to the ever-deepening process of normalization arouses less and less interest, let alone protest.

When addressing the defining moment of the 20th century in terms of man’s inhumanity to man, we often reflect on the sheer barbarism of the Holocaust. But throughout the blood-stained annals of Jewish history, many other anti-Semitic massacres have been committed.

Tragically, what is often neglected and summarily dismissed is the forced expulsion, evacuation and flight of 921,000 Jews of Sephardi and Mizrachi background from Arab countries and the Muslim world, primarily from 1948 to the early 1970s.

For over 2,500 years, Jews lived continuously in North Africa, the Middle East and the Gulf region. The first Jewish population had already settled there at least 1,000 years before the advent of Islam.

Throughout the generations, Jews in the region were often subjected to various forms of discrimination—and in many cases, ranked lower on the status of society than their Muslim compatriots—but they were nevertheless loyal citizens who contributed significantly to the culture and development of their respective countries.

Despite the positive influence that Jews brought to the places where they lived, more than 850,000 Jews were forced to leave their homes in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Morocco and several other Arab countries in the 20 years that followed Israel’s 1948 War of Independence. Another major forced migration took place from Iran in 1979–80 following the Iranian Revolution and the collapse of the Shah’s regime, adding 70,000 more Jewish refugees to this number.

The sales agent in the “occupied Palestinian territories” was removed on Wednesday from the list of agents on FIFA’s hospitality package sales website for the 2022 World Cup, after users noticed earlier that the site had failed to mention Israel at all on its list of sales agents.


Israelis who wish to purchase a hospitality package for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, which is taking place in November, will see that the package being sold by Winterhill Hospitality lists the country as “Palestinian Territory, Occupied,” and does not have an option listed as Israel. The realization had sparked outrage in Israeli media, although a number of other countries, such as Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia, are also not mentioned on the site.


Israeli businessmen who entered the site were amazed to see that Israel’s name had disappeared, Ynet reported.

Last month, Amnesty Australia held an event:

Join us for a special screening of ‘My Love Awaits Me by the Sea’. We have invited Muhib Nabulsi, a representative of Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement Australia and programmer for the Palestinian Film Festival to speak.
Nablusi must be an admirable human rights activist to be invited to speak by Amnesty, right?

Here is a thread that Nablusi posted on Twitter where he published a hit list of Australian Israeli restaurants for targeting.









This is a barely-veiled call for violence against Australian Jews and Israelis. It is an antisemitic conspiracy theory that somehow Israeli-themed restaurants are part of a worldwide network of anti-Palestinian operatives.

It is an unhinged display of hate and intolerance.

And Amnesty Australia considers Nablusi a role model.

You can guarantee that they will not disavow him, because he is a Palestinian, he is disabled, and he is the type of person who incites violence. Amnesty will never go against that trifecta.



 
Elements in Saudi Arabia and the UAE also mocked recent statements by commanders of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warning that Israel would pay a high price for its crimes in Gaza and that Hezbollah would strike Israel hard when the time was right. They questioned why Iran was not following through on its threats.

In a lengthy front-page report on Sunday, the London-based UAE daily Al-Arab criticized the PIJ, writing that “Gaza again became an arena for the settling of accounts between Iran and Israel, when the Palestinian citizens are the ones paying the price.”

Saudi journalist Tariq Al-Homayed mocked Iran and PIJ in his Sunday column in the Al-Sharq Al-Awsat daily: “The question addressed here to the Qods Force commander and all members of the mendacious resistance is: When will ‘the time be right’ to remove Israel from the map and the globe? And why not [do it] now in response to Israel’s focused attack on Gaza, especially against the [Palestinian] Islamic Jihad movement?”

Haber also parrots debunked accusations from biased groups Amnesty and Human Rights Watch. Is he aware that Human Rights Watch’s own founder, Robert Bernstein, called out the group’s bias against Israel, saying that it had “lost critical perspective on a conflict in which Israel has been repeatedly attacked by Hamas and Hezbollah, organizations that go after Israeli citizens and use their own people as human shields”? Or that the ADL recently wrote that Amnesty’s bias against Israel demonstrated that the group “appears to have abandoned its perch as a leading global human rights organization”?

The issues over electricity, water, and poverty in Gaza that Haber describes based on reports by those groups are both lamentable and complex, but they are mainly attributable to the fact that the people of Gaza, in 2006, elected a terror organization, Hamas, and that the group consolidated power over Gaza a year later. Since that time it has focused its efforts on ways to attack Israel rather than on the welfare of its people, using international aid to build terror tunnels, and using hospitals and schools for military purposes. None of this is of concern to Haber.

Of course, with such sources, the article is factually flawed as well. In the first paragraph, Haber reports that, according to the UN, “more than 2,200 Palestinians were killed in [2014’s Operation Protective Edge], most of them civilians.” But an analysis by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center found that of those casualties who could be identified by name, at least 55 percent were combatants. Nor does Haber mention Hamas’s use of human shields as a cause of civilian casualties.

“As years passed,” Haber writes, “Alexandra saw reports from human rights organizations related to Israeli soldiers increasingly detaining Palestinian children and subjecting some of them to abuse while in detention.” No context is given (in fact, any such detentions would necessarily have been in the West Bank, not Gaza). But children throwing rocks at moving vehicles is common, and contrary to the frequent characterization of such attacks, they can be deadly. Teen Vogue tells readers that, “Israel enforces a strict travel ban.” Of course, this is not true with Gaza residents crossing into Israel dailyfor work and sometimes for free medical treatment in Israeli hospitals. There’s no mention of why Israel would rightly monitor this travel closely – of the attempts to cross the border to commit attacksinside of Israel – and the fact that Gaza shares a border with Egypt is barely mentioned.

Nor does Haber explain to readers the reason for the repeated wars that cause such hardship for the Gaza participants of the pen pal project – that Hamas is committed to the destruction of Israel.

And of course, contrary to Haber’s assertion, there is no such sovereign entity as “Palestine.”

All of this comes after Teen Vogue has, within the past year, used articles about both Passover and Hanukah to undermine the Jewish connection with Israel. It’s especially insidious that Teen Vogue is sending a message to its Jewish readers that the socially acceptable way to be Jewish is by working against the Jewish homeland. But Teen Vogue seems to have a habit of platforming Jews from the fringe minority who don’t support Israel, while ignoring the vast majority of Jewish young adults and teens that do support and feel a strong connection to Israel.

In a rare show of criticism towards Hamas, the Associated Press (AP) on Tuesday accused the Gaza Strip’s rulers of trying to muzzle reporters operating in the coastal enclave. Under new rules issued by the US-designated terror organization, Palestinians applying for entry visas on behalf of foreign news outlets were told they must always accompany their colleagues and would be held responsible for what they produce.

Among other restrictions, Hamas ordered media not to report on Gazans killed by misfired Palestinian rockets and to blame Israel for the escalation with Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

After the Foreign Press Association denounced the “severe, unacceptable and unjustifiable restriction on the freedom of the press,” Hamas claimed it had abandoned the supposed policy change. Yet, as the AP reported, “Hamas has still signaled its expectations, which could have a chilling effect on critical coverage.”

Hamas’ threat is but the latest attempt to intimidate journalists. Since it violently seized control of the Strip in 2007, the terror group requires all visiting reporters to have a regime-approved local sponsor overseeing their work — usually a Palestinian journalist or translator hired by the media outlet.

To document the danger of this intimidation, HonestReporting looked into some of the “fixers” who helped shape the Western coverage of the recent conflict between the Israel Defense Forces and Islamist terrorists in Gaza.

In the days since the escalation between Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which saw the latter fire more than a thousand rockets at Israeli towns and cities as the former attempted to kill senior PIJ commanders who are responsible for masterminding terrorist atrocities, Sky News has run several pieces that attempt to delve deep into the heart of the conflict.

On August 7, the British broadcaster ran a two-minute-long report that detailed how Israel was continuing to strike PIJ targets in the Gaza Strip. According to narrating journalist Alistair Bunkall, the “Israel military says it is targeting watch towers, rocket launch sites and weapons factories. Some Gazans, though, claim that civilian houses have also been hit.”

Yet viewers were provided with no visual cues, such as a clip of the many rockets that rained down on Israel over 72 hours. Rather, the footage shows piles of rubble as civilians pick through the wreckage.

As such, Sky News seemingly chose to perpetuate a certain narrative instead of sticking to the facts.
