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

[Sixties Fan]

Once we are imagining, can you imagine such a scene with a Palestinian arguing with a Palestinian Authority policeman? With a Hamas terrorist? With a Lebanese or Syrian soldier?

You won't find photos like that, because the Palestinian would be arrested or beaten or killed.

But there are lots and lots of photos of Palestinians unafraid to get in the faces of Israeli soldiers and police.


The reason that you see so many photos of "brave" Palestinians confronting Israeli soldiers and police is because they know the soldiers will not touch them as long as they don't get violent. They know that Israeli security professionals are not going to hurt them.

They would be equally brave to confront a soda bottle.

These photos prove what the people posting them deny: that the Israeli security forces are professionals, who have no desire to hurt anyone. They prove that soldiers and police who take abuse every day, who are falsely accused of crimes every day, who are literally dared every day to respond with force, will adhere to their laws and regulations. They prove that the Palestinians tell one thing to Western media about Israeli forces abusing them for no reason but they know the truth - if Israeli forces were 10% as violent as they say, they wouldn't be around to confront the forces tomorrow.

These photos prove that, unlike the propaganda spread by Israel haters, the IDF really is the most moral army in the world.


UPDATE: You can see video of how this photo was taken here.

'Zionist Playbook': UNC Student Newspaper Glosses Over Teacher's Antisemitic Dog Whistles | HonestReporting

Indeed, the data that is accessible allows users to select “Settler-related incidents” under “context,” revealing four Palestinians killed. Thus, while OCHA concedes that four Palestinians were killed in incidents involving settlers, including incidents in which Palestinians attacked settlers and were subsequently killed, the UN press release counts these assailants as casualties of allegedly rising settler violence.

It gets worse. Journalists, apparently relying on the press release — (after all, press releases are for the benefit of journalists) — parroted the deceptive figure without undertaking any independent fact-checking.

The Guardian‘s Bethan McKernan and Quique Kierszenbaum, in particular, got carried away, charging: “The UN recorded 410 attacks by settlers against Palestinian civilians and property in the West Bank in the first 10 months of 2021, including four murders, up from 358 in 2020, and 335 in 2019.”

CNN also fell for the press release’s falsehood, originally stating: “Four Palestinians have been killed in settler violence, OCHA says.” (Screenshot at left.)

Following CAMERA’s communication with CNN pointing out that OCHA itself acknowledges that its figures include Palestinians killed as they carried out attacks, editors slightly amended the text to state:

According to the UN organization’s database of incidents, at least three Palestinians were shot dead by settlers in 2021.

In addition, a note appended to the bottom of the article now states:

The original article has been updated with new information about violent attacks in the West Bank.

While CNN’s new language is technically correct, it remains grossly misleading as it still fails to note that even according to OCHA, the data includes cases in which settlers killed Palestinian assailants in self-defense, as opposed to Israeli-initiated violence.

CNN’s reference to “at least three” indicates that the media outlet received access to the blocked data and that it is not confident that the fourth was killed by settlers, even in a situation of self-defense on the Israeli’s part.

Without access to OCHA’s details about the alleged victims — who are perhaps assailants, a look at the detailed data of B’Tselem, an anti-settler organization which provides detailed data on both Israeli and Palestinian casualties, is instructive.

The chair of the Islamist Ra’am party, said on Tuesday that Israel is undeniably a Jewish country, and that it will always stay that way.

“Israel was born a Jewish state, that was the decision of the people, and the question is not what is the identity of the state — it was born this way and it will remain this way,” said MK Mansour Abbas at a Channel 12 media conference on Tuesday morning.

“The question is what is the status of the Arab citizen in the Jewish State of Israel,” he continued. “That is the question. And this challenge does not just stand in front of Mansour Abbas, but in front of the Jewish community and the Jewish citizen.”

Abbas’ statement is particularly notable because it marks a significant departure from Israeli Arab political parties’ staunch refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish State and that such a definition is inherently racist.

In June 2021, Abbas made history by signing a coalition agreement with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s Yamina party and the Yesh Atid party chaired by Yair Lapid, cementing his role as a political kingmaker and marking the first time that an Arab party had served in an Israeli government.

Jamil Dakwar is the director of the ACLU Human Rights Program. He is a lecturer at various New York colleges. He formerly worked for Human Rights Watch.

And this human rights leader uses language that mimics that of antisemites of the past 150 years.

He tweeted:
----


Nowadays, however, the phrase "Jewish supremacy" is usedfar more often by the Left than the Right.

One would think that people who claim to hate Nazis and antisemitism - and who are very sensitive to microaggressions - would be a little more reluctant to use a phrase that was proudly used by right-wing antisemites for well over a century. One would think that people whose very jobs are supposed to support human rights would be skittish about using such a term that has been used as an excuse to murder millions of Jews.

However, the modern antisemites enthusiastically embrace the language of the old-style antisemites, because they share their goals.

To illustrate, Shay focuses on Northwestern’s recently appointed Assistant Professor of Journalism, Steven W. Thrasher. From his endowed “Chair of Social Justice in Reporting” to his 2019 tweet that “any professor or academic, in ANY field, who has never taken a graduate class in ethnic or women’s or queer or Black or Native or Asian American studies … isn’t trustworthy” (147), Thrasher perfectly represents the legions of far-left faculty who dominate campuses. Shay documents the many conspiratorial claims promulgated by Thrasher and his ilk: Zionists perpetrate genocide against Palestinians, promote murdering people of color in the United States (through the “Deadly Exchange” program), manipulate American leaders to support Israel and defame and silence their opponents (by means of the all-powerful “Israel Lobby”), etc. By the time Shay is done there seems hardly any difference between the Nazis’ belief that Jews conspire to conquer the world and destroy the goyim and the far-left’s belief that Jews (code-named “Zionists”) are conspiring to conquer the world and destroy the goyim, starting with the Palestinians.

Key, of course, is that these beliefs are delusional: what makes them a “conspiracy theory” isn’t merely that they allege a conspiracy but that they are deeply divorced from reality, based on lies, misrepresentations, distortions, etc. Today, at least, no decent person takes Holocaust denial seriously enough to feel the need to actively refute it (though we remain grateful that Deborah Lipstadt, among others, has done so). That Holocaust denial violates all academic and moral norms is happily no longer up for debate. What Shay demonstrates is that decent people today really must engage in refuting the equivalent theories from the far-left, because these theories, in the end, are equally in violation of those norms and equally hateful — facts frighteningly obscured because those promulgating these antisemitic theories somehow do so in the name of “human rights and anti-racism.”

And so that’s where we are today. Jews are under attack from the right and from the left. The attack from the right is easily recognizable for what it is; the left compensates for its subtlety, particularly on campuses, by its overwhelming ubiquity. But Shay is surely right that, in the end, there’s not much difference between them. That is precisely why Jewish Voice for Peace can find itself at the same rally as the neo-Nazis. What difference there may be is well expressed by journalist Howard Lovy, who has noted that the right-wing antisemite will tell you he hates you while he murders you, while the left-wing antisemite will tell you he loves you while cheering on and empowering your murderer.

No — not much of a difference after all.

Unlike Archbishop Welby and Bishop Naoum, global Christian charity Open Doors did not mince words when it attributed the steep decline of Christians to “Islamic oppression,” explaining “Islamic extremist militants” in the Palestinian Authority-administered West Bank were causing Christians to fear violent attacks.

A 2019 report by Edy Cohen of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies went into even more detail.

Citing three incidents that encapsulate the persecution of Palestinian Christians, Cohen noted that the cases had received precious little attention because they are “not connected to Israel.”

One such episode on April 25, 2019, involved Christian residents of Jifna, near Ramallah, who begged the PA for protection after Muslim gunmen stormed their village in response to a woman living there having complained to police that the son of a Fatah-affiliated leader had attacked her family.

Rather than protecting an innocent civilian, police turned a blind eye as armed rioters connected to Fatah, the political party that controls the Palestinian Authority, lobbed petrol bombs at homes and fired live rounds into the air. Witnesses later reported that the men had demanded the village’s residents pay a “jizya” — a tax historically levied on non-Muslim minorities living under Islamic rule.
