The United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) has reason to believes that Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has ties to terrorism. CAIR is on the FBI Terrorist Screening Database (TSBD). The Fourth Circuit Court upheld the placement of CAIR on the TSDB as "known or suspected terrorists." This is not to be confused with the Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN) in use by the Treasury Department.

It has been almost a year since the Shin Bet injected themselves into the probe on Israeli-Arab Palestinian violence. And in that time, I've not seen or heard of any poll or inquiry (man-on-the-Street) that suggests to me it is valid one way or the other. I'm not sure if the incitement to violence is actually connected with the the spreading of the Islamic teachings are preaching non-violence. (Article 20 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights - CCPR). There is a "TIMELINE OF TERROR AND TENSIONS, SPRING 2022" that is much too long to cut'n'paste here. It is unclear to me if this represents a "Hidden Agenda." I think it is alive and well in every media platform.

While the "Palestine question" has long dominated inter-Arab politics, not only have the Arab states been driven by their own ulterior motives, but they also have shown little concern for the wellbeing of the Palestinians, let alone their demand for a state of their own. This pattern dates back to the mandate years (1920-48) when the self-styled champions of the nascent pan-Arab movement—King Faisal of Iraq, Transjordan's Emir Abdullah, and Egyptian King Faruq—viewed Palestine as part of their would-be empires. This situation culminated in the 1948 war when the all-Arab assault on Israel was launched in pursuit of the invading states' imperialist goals—not in support of Palestinian self-determination. In the words of the Arab League's secretary-general Abdel Rahman Azzam:
Abdullah was to swallow up the central hill regions of Palestine, with access to the Mediterranean at Gaza. The Egyptians would get the Negev. [The] Galilee would go to Syria, except that the coastal part as far as Acre would be added to Lebanon.[1]
In the decades following the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, the Arab states continued to use the Palestinians to their own ends, exploiting the newly created "refugee problem" to tarnish Israel's international standing and channel their oppressed subjects' anger outwards. They did practically nothing to relieve this problem, let alone to facilitate the crystallization of Palestinian nationalism and the attainment of statehood.
This consistent lack of recognition of a separate Palestinian nationality by the Arab states was perpetrated by the main parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict: Jordan, Egypt, and Syria.
Even during the 1948 war, King Abdullah made a brief visit to Jerusalem on November 15 where he proclaimed himself the ruler of Palestine as well as Jordan, and in April 1950, Jordan formally annexed the area it occupied in the war and designated it the "West Bank of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan."[3] A decade later, Abdullah's grandson and successor King Hussein declared his firm opposition to the idea of a separate "Palestinian entity," convening a conference in January 1960 of Hashemite loyalists to denounce the "despicable innovation" of the establishment of a Palestinian entity.[4]
The Palestinian residents of the east and west banks were incorporated into Jordan's social, economic, and political fabric to a far greater extent than their brothers in any other Arab state, primarily due to the kingdom's dire need to boost its scarce population and because of the high ratio of Palestinian refugees vis-à-vis the original Bedouin population. This explains why Jordan was the only Arab country to integrate fully the Palestinian refugees of 1948. Following the Israeli capture of the West Bank during the Six-Day War in June 1967, about 240,000 Palestinians were displaced for the first time and some 190,000 were refugees who had been displaced in 1948, increasing Jordan's Palestinian population to more than half of the kingdom's total inhabitants.[5]
Tension between the Hashemite regime and its Palestinian subjects grew steadily in the wake of the 1967 war as the Palestinian terror organizations established a state within a state in the kingdom, transforming its territory into a springboard for attacks on Israel. Matters erupted in September 1970 with an attempt on King Hussein's life as part of a wider Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) bid to subvert the Hashemite monarchy and take over the state. This led to an all-out confrontation that came to be widely known as Black September. Amid heavy fighting with massacres of thousands of innocent civilians (including many of Palestinian descent) and a limited Syrian invasion in support of the PLO, the group was expelled from Jordan, a process completed in July 1971. And while this military routing failed to deal a mortal blow to the PLO, which quickly substituted Lebanon for Jordan as its home, Hussein continued his tireless efforts to weaken and marginalize the organization and by extension Palestinian nationalism. This was vividly illustrated by his March 1972 plan of a united Arab kingdom under his headship comprising Jordan, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, in which the Palestinians were to enjoy autonomy.[6] To the king's frustration, the plan, conceived with Israel's blessing, met with widespread Arab outrage, particularly in Egypt, where the government responded by severing diplomatic relations with Jordan.

Jordanian National Identity
Jordan has ruled over more Palestinians than any other Arab state, especially during its occupation of the West Bank between 1948 and 1967. In these years, the kingdom became home to some 368,000 Palestinians who fled the 1948 Arab-Israeli war,[2] and the government systematically erased all traces of a distinct Palestinian identity in an attempt to create a wider Jordanian national identity.| Jordan's King Abdullah visited Jerusalem in 1948 and proclaimed himself ruler of Palestine. |

Liel Leibovitz Explains Why BDS Isn’t the Problem, Harvard Is
Oh no! The editorial board over at The Crimson, Harvard’s student-run newspaper, just endorsed BDS! Quick, let’s start a campaign to write letters and convince people that if you only study the facts you understand indisputably that actually Israel has a right to …
Stop it. Just stop it. Stop pretending like any of this is real. It’s not: What we’re seeing here isn’t a conscientious decision by intrepid young intellectuals that requires equal or greater reaction in order to triumph in the hallowed jousting match that is the war of ideas. What we’re seeing here is a bunch of junior apparatchiks-in-training acting out a decade-old playbook, putting up a piece of performance theater that is crucial to finding later employment in the Borg that now runs this country. Harvard, the U.S. government, the Democratic Party, the media—these are not separate and meaningful institutions that can be redeemed or reformed or addressed. They’re a Jew-hating blob, and they only bother with their odorous little performances, like the one currently unfurling in Cambridge, because they know they can rely on some not-too-smart Yidden to get angry enough and rush into what they believe is a “debate” but is really much more of an auto-da-fe. In other words, put bluntly, what we’re seeing right now in Harvard is what we’re always seeing in Harvard, namely a bunch of slimy twerps twerking for attention, advertising to their older and more moneyed kinfolk that they’re ready for the hiring.
If you’re Jewish and have self-respect—not at all an obvious correlation these days—there’s only one thing you should be doing: leave. Leave right now. Walk away and don’t look back. Study Gemara. Read the Tanya. Polish your Hebrew. Go volunteer at the Jewish old age home down the street. Do something that’s meaningful, and sustainable, and Jewish, instead of investing in institutions that have made a clear and irreversible decision to hate you. Do it now and save yourself. Don’t, and you’ll forever be tied to the inquisitor’s pole, allowed the privilege of explaining precisely why it is that you believe you should be awarded the same liberties and dignities as other human beings.
Merely walking out is not enough for you? Groovy! Harvard announced last week that it will set aside $100 million of its $42 billion endowment to atone for its links to the institution of slavery. Baruch HaShem! Now that Harvard has decided reparations are the way to go, we’d like a little bit of that as well, please. Why? Because Harvard aided and abetted the Holocaust by training some of the people most influential in shaping Nazi ideas and practices. Like Lothrop Stoddard (Ph.D., 1914), who, after penning the unimprovably titled The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy, traveled to Germany to lend his Harvard-accredited renown to Hitler’s eugenic courts. The Nazi eugenics practices, he wrote from the Hereditary Health Court in Charlottenburg, were, if anything, too lax, and that the Nuremberg laws succeeded in “weeding out the worst strains in the Germanic stock in a scientific and truly humanitarian way.”
Those, by the way, would be the laws inspired in part by one Charles B. Davenport, Harvard professor of zoology, who maintained his support for Nazi genocidal policies long after the full impact of their monstrosity became evident, and wrote a loving contribution in a publication feting Otto Reche, the Nazi scientist who openly and enthusiastically promoted the extermination of races he deemed inferior.
The list goes on: Ernst Hanfstaengl, Hitler’s confidant and an ardent Nazi who watched the Reichstag burn from Hermann Goering’s house, was warmly welcomed in his 1934 Harvard reunion, where he regaled attendees with stories of how he helped compose Hitler Youth marching songs modeled after the chants he’d heard on the football field of his good old alma mater. Another touching reunion of Harvard and its Nazi pals took place two years later, when the university sent an official delegation to the University of Heidelberg, which, at that point, was no longer permitting any Jews.
None of this should be surprising to any student of Harvard’s history. Its famed president, Abbott Lawrence Lowell, pioneered the effort to establish a direct quota on the number of Jews, who, in 1922, made up nearly a quarter of all Harvard students.
“The anti-Semitic feeling among students is increasing, and it grows in proportion to the increase in the number of Jews,” Lowell wrote in a letter to a fellow Harvard alum that year. “If [the] number [of Jews] should become 40 percent of the student body, the race feeling would become intense. If every college in the country would take a limited proportion of Jews, I suspect we should go a long way toward eliminating race feeling among students.”
Over at Harvard, in other words, it’s Jew-hating business as usual. Sue it for reparations, pull your money and your kids away, and walk out. Any other engagement is a comical waste of your time.

The once-noble UN, formed in 1945 to be the very imprimatur of humane global order, is in fact often biased, ideological and actively obstructive of the pursuit of international justice - with subsets of its 193 member states clubbing together to advance all manner of malign interests. All in the name of peace and human rights, naturally.
Although the UN helped bring Israel into being in 1947, since the 1970s, strong anti-Israel alliances within the UN have produced volleys of resolutions designed to isolate, undermine and harm the Jewish state, checked solely by America's vetoes at the Security Council. Moreover, the world's many anti-Semitic countries are free to gang up on Israel year after year.
The UN is home to the permanent Division for Palestinian Rights of the Secretariat, the Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices in the Territories, and the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.

As they do every year, Iran and its allies marked International Qods Day ("Roz-e Qods" in Persian) on the last Friday of Ramadan – which this year occurred on April 29 – with events in Iran, in several Arab countries and online. At these events, leaders of the Iran-led resistance axis – including officials of Hizbullah, Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the Houthi movement in Yemen, and the Iran-backed militias in Iraq – called for continued jihad against "the temporary entity" Israel and for the liberation of Palestine as part of a regional war involving all components of the resistance axis, which they referred to as the "Jerusalem axis." The events included conferences, rallies and processions in Tehran, in Hizbullah's stronghold in Beirut and in Gaza. Furthermore, a Hamas delegation headed by a member of the movement's political bureau, Khalil Al-Hayya, and by Hamas official Osama Hamdan visited Iran and attended the main Qods Day rally in Tehran. The delegation also met with Iranian officials, including the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Gen. Hossein Salami, and thanked them for Iran's support of the Palestinians.[1]
Another event, which took place on April 26, 2022, was the "Jerusalem Podium" online conference, at which political leaders of the main Iran-backed terror organizations in the region delivered speeches, including the head of Hamas' political bureau, Isma'il Haniya; PIJ secretary-general Ziad Al-Nakhaleh; the deputy secretary-general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Abu Ahmad Fouad; the secretary-general of the Popular Front – General Command, Tallal Naji; Hizbullah secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah; an official of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU),[2] Hadi Al-'Amiri, and the leader of the Houthi movement in Yemen, 'Abd Al-Malik Al-Houthi. The conference was also attended by clerics from East Jerusalem, including former Jerusalem Mufti and current Al-Aqsa Mosque preacher Sheikh Ekrima Sabri and the Archbishop of Sebastia from the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, 'Atallah Hanna, who called to continue defending Jerusalem from what they termed Israel's aggression against it.

Do the editors of the Crimson understand what “all Arab lands” means? That it means all the lands colonized by the Arabs in the 7th century, including the “Israeli side” of the Green Line. That they’ve used deliberately coded language aimed at duping Westerners with demopathic appeals. In English, “occupation” means the “other side” of the Green Line; in Arabic (and often enough in English), “from the river to the sea.” And if they don’t realize what this means, what does that say about their critical intelligence?
As for the “Wall of Separation”, it was built to keep out terrorists inspired by relentless, hate-mongering Palestinian propaganda. Take it down because that incitement and those desires are no longer there? Or to enable the terrorism?

Israeli Arabs enjoy a level of equality in the enjoyment of democratic human rights unmatched by any Arabs anywhere in the world (except maybe the USA). This is doubly remarkable since so many of them (including their elected representatives) have expressed implacable hostility to the very state that grants them these rights. For Americans, whose own progressives describe it as systemically racist, to take sides in a conflict in which one side has a 1400 year-long history of denying the other its “full equality,” seems less a product of bravery than presumptive folly.
Of course, 194 does nothing of the sort. And of course, the demopathic formulation of “the right of return” is nothing more than a formula for a demographic invasion. Do the Palestinians want a nation of their own where they can take care of their own people? Or do they want to use their people as a weapon to destroy another people’s nation? This suggests the latter.
Nothing that the illiterate would notice.
How ironic. No group does more to dismiss opposing views as… blah blah blah… than the group the editors here side with. Indeed, BDS insists on non-normalization, which is precisely a formula for refusing to listen to the other side.

Civilian deaths during armed conflict, especially in the challenging circumstances the Israeli Defense Forces face, is a tragic but unavoidable reality, particularly in light of the tactics employed by groups like Hamas which use populated areas to fire rockets at Israeli civilians. While the deaths of civilians in war time is no less tragic, the context is important to take into account, especially when making accusations of “apartheid” in which questions of intent are highly relevant.
Yet, to bolster its charge of “apartheid,” Amnesty, either through ignorance or malice, changed the wording to: (1) erase the context of armed conflict (which directly conflicts with a narrative of “apartheid”); and (2) make it appear as though Israel was going around freely killing thousands of Palestinians during peacetime.
Hammad’s response: “Those are like extremely specific numbers that I would need to see…we had over 1,500 footnotes in our report.” When reminded that those are not just random numbers, and that they form an important part of the “key allegations” in Amnesty’s report, Hammad deflected and instead asked for the CAMERA representative’s email address so as to respond later.
Notably, Hammad’s initial response is the same excuse Amnesty’s MENA research and advocacy director, Phillip Luther, used to dodge a questionfrom Times of Israel reporter Lazar Berman. When confronted about another set of questionable figures, whether Jews living in the Jewish Quarter were counted as living in an “illegal settlement,” Luther hid behind the length of the report and responded, “The specific figures I’d have to go to… they’re all footnoted…”
Well, CAMERA looked at the footnote and found the statement was ultimately unsupported. An email was sent on the morning of Tuesday, April 26 to the address for Amnesty’s “Israel-OPT” office provided by Mr. Hammad, requesting a response by the “end of this week (4/29).”
As of this writing, neither Mr. Hammad nor the Amnesty Israel-OPT office has responded. Despite being given time to review their own report and their own sources, Amnesty still has no actual answer to the questionable figures it used to demonize the Jewish state.
This all exposes a fundamental truth about reports from organizations like Amnesty and Human Rights Watch (“HRW”). As explained by legal expert Avi Bell, “the length of the report is an important part of HRW’s [and Amnesty’s] strategy of marketing its propaganda as ‘research.’” Bell continues, quoting Winston Churchill, that “the report’s length ‘defends it well against being read.’”

[ There isn't ONE Palestinian failure they will not call a victory. Needing that pat on the back to continue their fight to destroy Israel ]
The preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, claimed that the Jews were unable to raise any Israeli flags due to the brave chanters. He said: "The intruders entered Al-Aqsa Mosque but they were afraid and changed the course of their incursions and shortened them because the occupation forces are unable to control Al-Aqsa despite the intensity of their presence."
Sabri added: "The Al-Mourabitoun in Al-Aqsa foiled their attempts at sacrifices on Passover, and they are now failing in the issue of flags and were not able to bring them to Al-Aqsa."
