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

Jordanian officials have been loudly claiming that they have exclusive rights to the holy places in Jerusalem.

Amman's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Ayman Safadi, said that "there is no Israeli sovereignty over the city's holy sites."

So let's look again at exactly what the Israeli-Jordanian peace agreement says.


Article 9 - Places of Historical and Religious Significance and Interfaith Relations
1. Each Party will provide freedom of access to places of religious and historical significance.
2. In this regard, in accordance with the Washington Declaration, Israel respects the present special role of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Muslim Holy shrines in Jerusalem. When negotiations on the permanent status will take place, Israel will give high priority to the Jordanian historic role in these shrines.
3. The Parties will act together to promote interfaith relations among the three monotheistic religions, with the aim of working towards religious understanding, moral commitment, freedom of religious worship, and tolerance and peace.

The first paragraph makes it clear that Jews should be allowed to visit the Temple Mount. Probably more than the twice a day, five says a week they have now. And when Jordanian leaders say that Jews are not allowed there at all, they are violating this agreement.

The third paragraph, like the first, is routinely disrespected by Jordanian officials, where they do not allow that Jews have any historic or religious rights in Jerusalem.

The second paragraph is key. The first sentence says "Israel respects the present special role of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Muslim Holy shrines in Jerusalem." At the time, the special role was that Jordan controlled the Waqf which was responsible for the religious and civil arrangements.

What does "respect" mean in a legal document?

It can mean that Israel must defer to Jordan's role. But it can also imply that Israel is the real party controlling the sites, and it promises to show respect for Jordan's role - which doesn't mean that Jordan has legal rights over the area and Israel's being somewhat altruistic in letting Jordan keep its role.

I believe that the second sentence makes that latter meaning more likely: "When negotiations on the permanent status will take place, Israel will give high priority to the Jordanian historic role in these shrines." It sounds like Israel has all the rights, and it voluntarily concedes them in the interest of neighborly relations. But if there are overriding reasons for Israel to take over, its priorities may override the others.

At any rate, Jordan's insistence that it has legal control over the Temple Mount is not at all supported by the signed agreements with Israel.


 
A 17-year-old Palestinian assailant who was shot dead after attempting to invade a West Bank home while armed with a knife attended a school that taught students “gruesome content, directly instructing pupils to kill Israelis,” Israeli education watchdog IMPACT-se revealed on Tuesday.

The Sunday terror attack, thwarted by a resident of Tekoa, in the West Bank, came hours after a police officer was wounded in Jerusalem by a knife-wielding terrorist, and follows a string of attacks that have killed 19 Israelis.

According to the Israeli non-profit, the 12th-grade attacker’s school, A-Zeer Boys High School in the Bethlehem Governorate, used textbooks that promoted “Jihad and martyrdom” and called Jews “dangerous” and “perverted in nature.”

The textbooks, issued by the Palestinian Authority (PA), were the subject of a May 2021 report by IMPACT-Se and of heated debates in the European Parliament over the body’s financial support for the PA. In March, 32 EU parliamentarians issued a letter describing the situation presented by the PA’s curriculum as “simply intolerable.”

The Palestinian Authority’s envoy to the UK, Husam Zomlot, has been accused of denying the Holocaust; defending the PA’s “Pay-for-Slay” policy that gives financial rewards to terrorists and their families, as well as making light of rocket attackslaunched by terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip that have targeted Israeli civilians.

Yet this rather checkered history did not preclude the BBC from meeting with Zomlot, reportedly to discuss “improving the BBC’s reporting of developments in Palestine [sic].”

In an image tweeted out by Zomlot, he can be seen shaking hands with BBC Chairman Richard Sharp while standing in front of a prominently displayed map of “Palestine,” which actually depicts the entirety of Israel in what is perhaps a nod to the “from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea” Palestinian rallying cry that is a coded slogan for the destruction of the Jewish state.

The chairman of the BBC, Mr. Richard Sharp, visited today to discuss BBC coverage of events in Palestine. We appreciate his visit. We had a frank discussion, and we hope it will contribute to improving the BBC’s reporting of developments in Palestine. #BBC #Palestine #Mediapic.twitter.com/YZkyX9BhXS

Zomlot and Sharp’s tête-à-tête is part of a long pattern of moves made by the publicly-funded British Broadcasting Company that seemingly point to an institutional anti-Israel bias that has led to skewed reportage of issues pertaining to the Jewish state.

Indeed, the corporation has fought tooth-and-nail to keep secret the 2004 Balen Report, which was commissioned to investigate allegations that the BBC’s coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was biased.

The contents of the 20,000-word document were reportedly so damning that the broadcaster has fended off at least 400 Freedom of Information requests and spent £333,000 ($500,000) to keep its findings under wraps.

[ Can anyone imagine if all colonizers lied about the land they invaded and colonized as the Palestinians do?
In other words, the Copts, Berbers, Yazidis, Assyrians, Jews, anyone conquered by Islam, the Arabs, the Ottomans, etc.......they lose their indigenous identity and the Muslims then become the indigenous owners of those lands.
So, giving a curriculum to your people which says that you and them are the indigenous people of that land, any land, makes you the rightful indigenous owners of the land.
Got it !!! ]


 
These tweets from leading Palestinian official Hussein al-Sheikh tells you everything you need to know about how biased the Palestinian Authority "investigation" of the tragic death of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh will be:

#Israel has requested a joint investigation and to be handed over the bullet that assassinated the journalist Shireen, we refused that, and we affirmed that our investigation would be completed independently, and we will inform her family, #USA, #Qatar and all official authorities and the public of the results of the investigation with high transparency. All of the indicators , the evidence and the witnesses confirm her assassination by #Israeli special units.
They already have the verdict of "Israel assassinated her" before the sham investigation.

It is obvious to all that the Palestinian Authority intends to hide and bury any evidence that does not conform to their pre-determined conclusion.

This is the pattern of "investigations" by modern antisemites, from Amnesty to HRW to the UN and the PA. They go into the process with the intent of finding Israel guilty. They gather lots of evidence - but only report on evidence that supports their conclusions, and ignore the rest. (In the case of the UN, they create a framework that only admits evidence that supports one side.) People who casually look at their reports only see one side of the evidence and assume that the investigators are acting in good faith, so they accept the conclusions that were written before the first piece of evidence is discovered.

The people from the Palestinian Authority to Rashida Tlaibto Susan Sarandon who have already concluded that Israel is guilty of a premeditated assassination with zero evidence are, by definition, Jew-haters. They know ahead of time that Jews are guilty and they will ignore any evidence that contradicts that.

Only rarely are they so obvious about it as Hussein al-Sheikh.

Violence in the Arab Israeli community of the Galilee has boiled over in some towns and now even first responders are being attacked

1070470.jpg


A few minutes before 10:00 p.m., on Sunday evening a 20-year-old man was found shot in the Arab city of Arraba in the Northern District of Israel. All emergency responders in the surrounding vicinity were alerted to the act of violence.

Roshde Hossen, a United Hatzalah volunteer from Lotem, was enjoying a coffee with his friend when he got the call. Roshde stood up and said goodbye to his friend as he ran outside to his car to rush to the scene.

Roshde arrived alongside a policewoman and together they sprinted to the man lying on the ground next to his car. Roshde checked the man’s vitals and didn't find any signs of life. Turning him over, the EMT realized that there was no way anyone could revive the man. All the blood around him, on his clothes and the floor, had completely dried up. It was clear that he was shot hours before. There were multiple bullet wounds, in both of his legs, his stomach, and his chest.

Roshde tried to resuscitate the man by connecting a defibrillator and performing CPR. “As an EMT, I cannot pronounce a person dead at the scene. The man’s family members and friends were around and I had to show them that I tried and that I care because that's my job.”

 
[ Sounds just like the kind of thing Jews were put through in Muslim lands, before the State of Israel ]

Orthodox boy boarded the bus early in the morning. At one point, the boy was the only passenger on the bus. The driver then stopped the bus and told the boy to approach him.

“The boy went to the driver, who took out his cell phone and began filming him while he asked him questions,” according to Honenu.

“For several minutes, the driver forced the boy to give humiliating answers, such as that the driver should beat him if they meet in the Old City of Jerusalem, to say that he does not like Jews and he likes Arabs, and more,” Haim Bleicher wrote to the police.
The driver also told the boy to repeat an Arabic sentence, the meaning of which he did not know. After several minutes of cruel humiliation the driver continued his journey, and the boy got off at the nearest bus stop, shaken and very upset.
