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

The Jewish-owned properties in the area were confiscated by the Jordanian government and leased to Arab families, who paid rent to the Jordanian government.

After the 1967 Six Day War, however, the Arab families residing in the properties in question ended their rent payments, while Jewish organizations sought to reassert their ownership.

While Israeli courts have repeatedly upheld the rights of the Jewish owners, the actual transfer of control of the properties and eviction of squatters has taken years and faced repeated legal delays.

With the Supreme Court set to rule on an appeal by a group of Arab squatters against a decision by the Jerusalem District Court, one family – which did not join the appeal – has agreed to return the home to its Jewish owners, in exchange for the right to remain as residents.

Under the terms of the deal, which was given the force of a legal ruling by the Jerusalem Magistrates Court recently, the residents will be guaranteed the right to remain in the home for at least 10 years as protected residents.

Any way you count it, thousands of Arab Israelis own houses and live at least part time in Area A - under Palestinian control.

They are settlers.

In an area Jews aren't allowed.

The mayor says "we don't discriminate." Well, as long as you don't count discriminating against Jews, I suppose not.

Ken Roth of Human Rights Watch has said that "Each transfer of a settler to occupied territory is a war crime." Both Jews and Arabs voluntarily move to the West Bank. But Roth only considers it a "war crime" if they are Jewish.

There is a word for that.

The Israeli Arabs who live in Rawabi can vote in Israeli elections - just like the Jews who live in less than ten kilometers away in Shiloh or Eli.

They can drive on every road in the West Bank - not only the mythical "Jewish-only roads" but the Arab roads as well that are off-limits to Jews.

Every single argument that Israel practices "apartheid" is demolished by the existence of Israeli Arabs living in an Arab community that, we are told, is "occupied."

The more you look at the "apartheid" claim, the most you see that it is prompted by its own bigotry - against Jews and only Jews.

One major difference between anti-Israel demonstrations and pro-Israel rallies is that the Israel-haters rely heavily on repeating slogans.

Here's a small clip from yesterday's London demonstration that successfully threatened and attempted to physically attack Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely:

(Vide video online)

We see it over and over: every anti-Israel rally is filled with repetitious sloganeering, from small venues to large rallies.

Countless studies show that repeating anything makes it more likely to be believed.

A 2020 article in Psychology Today notes:


First described in a 1977 study by Temple University psychologist Dr. Lynn Hasher and her colleagues, the illusory truth effect occurs when repeating a statement increases the belief that it’s true even when the statement is actually false.

Subsequent research has expanded what we know about the illusory truth effect. ...For example, the perceived truth of written statements can be increased by presenting them in bold, high-contrast fonts or when aphorisms are expressed as a rhyme.
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
"There is only one solution, Intifada revolution:"
"Hey hey, ho ho, Zionists have got to go!"
"Khaybar Khaybar al Yahud, jaish Mohammed sa yahud."
See a pattern?
The repetition is used in many different ways. The entire point of "Israel Apartheid Week" on campuses is to have people associate "Israel" with "Apartheid," and this year Ken Roth of HRW used the words "Israel" and "apartheid" over 130 times together - and stopped using the word "apartheid" with any other country (as he had previously done). It is all part of the brainwashing technique with the express aim of demonizing Israel.
This is especially true for the young people who are the targets of anti-Israel brainwashing. Neuroscientist and physiologist Kathleen Taylor explains in her 2004 book on the subject that

repetition is an integral part of brainwashing techniques because connections between neurons become stronger when exposed to incoming signals of frequency and intensity. She argues that people in their teenage years and early twenties are more susceptible to persuasion. Taylor explains that brain activity in the temporal lobe, the region responsible for artistic creativity, also causes spiritual experiences in a process known as lability.
Britannica summarizes:

The techniques of brainwashing typically involve isolation from former associates and sources of information; an exacting regimen requiringabsolute obedience and humility; strong social pressures and rewards for cooperation; physical and psychological punishments for non-cooperation ranging from social ostracism and criticism...
Taylor's solution to brainwashing is actually amazing because it shows how the socialist Left is making freedom of thought into a thoughtcrime:


In the final portion of the book, Part III: "Freedom and Control", Taylor describes an individual's susceptibility to brainwashing and lays out an acronym "FACET", a tool to combat influence and a totalist mindset.FACET stands for Freedom, Agency, Complexity, Ends-not-means, and Thinking.

“Signing up to the IHRA working definition is one of the ways universities and colleges can tackle antisemitism. It is essential that universities and colleges act swiftly and decisively in response to any acts of antisemitism, so that students are safe – and feel safe – on campus.”

The IHRA defines antisemitism as a “certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities”.

The definition is followed by a number of examples, including “making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective”, and “accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews”.

In an interview with United with Israel, Michal Khalifa Frankel, a spokewoman for the South Hebron Hills Regional Council, provided context for the incident from her perspective. She first explained that when she was a child growing up in Susya, there was no Arab presence in the area.

“We used to walk freely between our homes in Susya and the archaeological site. The Nawaja clan has since established itself between the two. They understand the strategic importance of the site and have been increasing their presence there,” she said.

On the archaeological site stand ruins of an ancient synagogue that was active between the 4th and 9th centuries CE, followed by its conversion into a mosque and later populated by Crusaders — and then, abandonment. The reconstructed synagogue, massive mosaics and ongoing archaeological dig all bear witness to the site’s Jewish origin. From the Ottoman Empire on, however, shepherds from the nearby Arab town of Yatta, where the Nawaja tribe resides, would pitch temporary tents and lean-to’s in order to graze their flocks among the ruins over the winter.

The spokeswoman continues:

“On Saturday (6 November 2021), a group of Palestinian Arabs and leftwing Jewish activists left the outpost and started moving in the direction of Susya. When residents of the community saw this, they also came out. The point at which they came together was, simply, at the playground. You must understand that, like the outpost itself, the playground was also built illegally, on state land and without a permit. The playground was completed two weeks ago.

“Of course, there was no violence on our part. There was vocal violence, one could call it, when the residents of Susya told the demonstrators to stop coming there every Shabbat and disturbing their peaceful way of life.

“Therefore, there was a vocal confrontation and the army was present, but it never developed into a physical altercation.”

According to Frankel, “The residents of Susya live their lives quietly. Jewish leftwing activists, together with Arab activists such as Rateb al-Jabour, periodically harass them, trying to create incidents that could be spread in the media and blacken the reputation of Jewish Israelis who otherwise have had good relations with their Arab neighbors for decades.”

A presentation at the Jordanian pavilion at the Dubai Expo says that Jordan says there are three regions in Jordan: Amman, Aqaba and - Ramallah.

This is a bit of karma since all Palestinian maps include all of Israel - now they can know how it feels!

The Arab world was more upset that the presenters misspoke about the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire, saying it started in Syria and ended in Yemen, and because of that the company in charge of the presentations was fired.

 
This story is part of a series called “Israeli, Palestinian Women: The Only Way Forward Is Together.” The series highlights Israeli and Palestinian women about their connection to Israel/Palestine, and how they are working to improve relations, and promote equality and coexistence between both groups of people.

It was one of the scariest moments of Manar Al-Sharif's life: the day Hamas operatives came to take her to prison.

Six men and three women barged into the apartment she shared with her cat in Gaza, confiscated her phone and laptop, forcefully searched and blindfolded her, and led her to a vehicle that would take her to an all-women prison.

Once at the prison, she was bound to solitary confinement — a cell with no windows or light; she spent weeks here unable to leave, even without the chance to shower or get clean.

Her crime: helping create a virtual event for Gazans to Zoom with Israelis.



 
In the last few days, economic and social protests against the Hamas authorities in Gaza have erupted again, led by the "We Want to Live" movement and online campaign. The campaign was first launched in March 2019 to protest the high cost of living and the unemployment in Gaza, and included mass demonstrations that were brutally suppressed by Hamas' security apparatuses.[1] So far, the renewed campaign is largely confined to social media, but some activists warn it may soon escalate into street protests against Hamas, like the ones in 2019.[2]

Two events in the recent weeks led to the resurgence of the protest. One was the drowning of three Gazan migrants when their boat capsized between Turkey and Greece. The three were trying to flee Gaza due to the dire economic situation.[3] The second was a wave of outrage on social media about the extravagant lifestyles of Hamas officials and their families. The outrage was sparked by reports about the son of Hamas official Ghazi Hamad who had given his elder brother a luxurious honeymoon in Sinai as a wedding gift. Many Gazans saw this as insensitivity on the part of the Hamas leadership and as a reflection of its obliviousness to the reality of the Gazan people.[4]

In response to these events, the "We Want to Live" official Facebook page posted condolences to the families of the drowning victims, and voiced harsh criticism against Hamas. The page blamed Hamas for the dire situation in the Gaza Strip, and accused it of subjecting Gazans to oppression, deprivation and political pressure of such magnitude that they prefer to risk their lives trying to migrate. It also condemned Hamas officials for driving fancy vehicles and living in mansions while the people of Gaza suffer. These messages were echoed by Gazans on social media, many of them posting under the hashtag #WeWantToLive and related hashtags.

Fearing the spread of the protest, Hamas tried to contain it and appease the protesters, while also questioning the authenticity of the campaign and claiming that external elements, such as Israel or the Palestinian Authority (PA), are behind it in an attempt to destabilize Gaza. So far Hamas has alluded to the renewed protest only indirectly. While paying his respects to the families of the Gazan migrants who drowned, Hamas political bureau head Isma'il Haniya stressed that "the Zionist occupation is the main reason for the suffering of the Palestinians and the siege [on Gaza]," and that Hamas is doing everything it can to allow the Gazans to live in dignity and provide the young people with a better future. He stated that Hamas is well aware of the plans to harm Gaza, and that "it will not allow anyone to use the [Gazans'] hardship to sow division among the Palestinians."[5] A November 10 article in Hamas' mouthpiece Filastin claimed that the "We Want to Live" Facebook page was created by the Shin Bet (Israel's internal security service) in order "to incite the people of the Gaza Strip against the resistance [i.e., Hamas]."[6]

Figures close to Hamas, such as columnist Fayez Abu Shamala, rejected the claim about the dire economic situation in Gaza. He tweeted that "nobody is going to bed hungry in Gaza" and that the Gazan's economic and security situation "is better than that of most people in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Tunisia."[7]

At the same time, Hamas is preparing to suppress the protest. According to a report on the Palestinian Al-Ayyamdaily, Hamas' security apparatuses summoned campaign activists for a warning talk, and also demanded that Palestinian Left-wing movements keep their members from participating in the protests.[8]

UNRWA was founded in 1949 to provide what was meant to be a temporary solution until the “Palestinian refugee problem” was sorted out. Most other refugees are cared for by the UN’s High Commissioner for Refugees and, unlike the Palestinians, their status is not passed on to future generations.

The Palestinians, on the other hand, have their own agency and have been granted perpetual refugee status. According to UNRWA, Palestinian refugees are not just people who fled from the nascent Jewish state during the 1948 War of Independence and have yet to be resettled, but they include descendants of those refugees. Someone born this week, during the UNRWA donor meeting, can be considered a refugee of a war that occurred more than seven decades ago.

There is some irony in Jordan being the sponsor of the meeting given that the majority of the Jordanian population is Palestinian and many meet the UNRWA definition of being “refugees,” despite having Jordanian citizenship.

UNRWA has not solved the “refugee problem.” On the contrary, it has created a bigger one than ever before. While some 726,000 Arabs originally fell under the agency’s auspices in 1949, the number more than 70 years later now stands at 5.7 million – almost eight times as many. In other words, it has added to the refugee problem and, at the same time, perpetuated the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

Instead of getting on with their lives, the Palestinians in places like Gaza, with UNRWA’s encouragement, continue to grasp a false dream of one day “returning” to Jaffa, Haifa, Safed or Jerusalem. Far from transforming refugees into self-sufficient individuals, the agency has fostered dependency and a culture of entitlement. It is this that the donor countries are now being asked to fund with even greater sums of money than before.

If, after 70-plus years, the Palestinian refugees still need more help than any other group of refugees, such as those struggling to enter Europe in the humanitarian crisis along the Polish-Belarus border, then UNRWA has clearly failed.

UNRWA doesn’t need more funds – it needs to be closed down.

(Christianity and Islam contributing to more and more Jew hatred )

The Center for Social Cohesion has published a scary dossier listing many of these donations to British academic institutions:



1 million in Oxford (Saudi royal house)



1 million in Oxford (British Moroccan Society)



1.5 million in Oxford (United Arab Emirates)



2 million in Oxford (Saudi Prince Salman)



20 million in Oxford (Saudi King Fahd)



2.5 million in Oxford (Kuwait)



4 million in Oxford (Malaysia)



75 million in Oxford (Malaysia, Turkey, Yemen, Emirates and Brunei)



1.25 million in Cambridge (United Arab Emirates)



2.8 million in Cambridge (Oman)



8 million in Cambridge (Saudi Prince bin Talal)



8 million at the University of Edinburgh (Saudi Prince bin Talal)



1 million to the London School of Oriental Studies (Saudi King Fahd)



9 million to the London School of Economics (United Arab Emirates)



5.7 million to the London School of Economics (Kuwait)



2.5 million to the London School of Economics (Turkey)



2.5 million at Durham University (Sharjah)



2.4 million at the University of Exeter (Sharjah)



1.8 million at the University of Wales (Qatar)



Eight British universities alone have received more than 233 million from Islamic regimes. The total sum, revealed by Professor Anthony Glees, is the main external source of funding for UK universities. We are talking about Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, University College London, the London School of Economics, Exeter University in Davon, Dundee University in Scotland and City University in London. In practice, the English academic elite like America's Ivy League.



“Saudi Arabia alone has donated £ 189m, £ 21m to Oxford, £ 8m to Edinburgh, £ 8m to Cambridge, £ 1m to the Oxford Middle East Center at St Antony's College and a large sum to the Oxford Center for Islamic Studies, ”Anthony Glees told LobeLog.

How this money literally changes universities can be seen at the London School of Economics, where there was an event under the rules of sharia law. Strictly separate men and women. Professor Anthony Glees also said that 70 percent of classes at St Antony's College in Oxford, funded by Islamic regimes, are "relentlessly hostile" to the West and Israel.

Executive summary

Fatah, the ruling political movement of the Palestinian Authority (PA), runs a youth movement for Palestinian children ages 6-15 called the Lion Cubs and Flowers (for boys and girls respectively) which publishes a children’s magazine called Waed (the promise in Arabic). The magazine is published on the youth movement’s website and distributed at Fatah and PA activities and in PA schools.

Fatah's education of children through Waed is the antithesis of peace education. Whereas not all the material in the magazine promotes hatred of Israelis and Israel, all references to Israelis and Israel are hateful.

Waed’s fundamental messages are that Israelis are foreign colonialist invaders, and therefore, Israel has no right to exist. Palestinians led by Fatah will continue the heroic armed struggle until the defeated invaders leave. There is no hint of Israel's legitimacy, nor is there a possibility that Israel will coexist alongside a liberated Palestine, whose borders will include all of Israel.
