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

[ It is Jew Hunting Season. Oh, wait......it is always a Jew Hunting Season, and they have their Arab leaders for the Islamic education of Hunting Jews ]

Several Arab students were arrested Sunday at Tel Aviv University (TAU) during a Nakba Day protest that turned violent when they clashed with Jewish students and activists staging a counter-demonstration.

Although at first separated by several meters and temporary metal fencing, Arab demonstrators began beating Jews and then police who arrived on the scene. Several victims sustained head injuries that had to be treated by paramedics on site.

[ Hatred of Israel? No. Hatred of Jews. ]

“The UK did not simply invent material, as the Soviets systematically did, but they definitely intended to deceive audiences in order to get the message across,” Cormac said.

According to The Guardian, “The campaign also sought to mobilize Muslims against Moscow, promoting greater religious conservatism and radical ideas. To appear authentic, documents encouraged hatred of Israel.”

One of the IRD’s tactics was to produce phony statements by official Soviet agencies, institutions and media.

One pamphlet purported to highlight Moscow’s anger at Egypt for “wasting” Soviet military aid that was destroyed during the Six Day War.

Another British leaflet purporting to be produced by the Muslim Brotherhood slammed the quality of the Soviet military hardware and denounced the Russians as “filthy-tongued atheists” who saw the Egyptians as little more than “peasants who lived all their lives nursing reactionary Islamic superstitions.”

[ Qatar, a prominent supporter of terrorism against Jews and Israel ]

From Doha News:


Israeli jewellery maker Ori Vechler, a self-proclaimed proud Zionist, has triggered outrage amongst the public in Qatar where he is currently taking part in an exhibition to promote his designs.

Vechler, who founded Gemma Fine Jewelry in 2013, had previously spent three years serving with the Israeli military, an entity that has been consistently condemned by rights organisations worldwide for its involvement in war crimes, including mass killings and unlawful arrests of Palestinians.

Vechler is currently exhibiting his work at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE) in the Qatari capital.

The Doha-based group, Qatar Youth Opposed to Normalisation (QAYON) which supports the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, took to social media this week to highlight his history of Islamophobia and pro-Zionist propaganda, as seen in posts shared on social media.

In one such screenshot from Vechler’s Instagram story, the Israeli entrepreneur was asked whether he had served with the Israeli military.

“Yes, I’ve proudly served for three years,” he said, adding an emoji of the occupying state’s flag.

They point to examples of how offensive Vechler is on social media:

Because every news story is ultimately about Jewish oppression of Palestinians, and every evil force in the world is comparable to Jews in Israel. Nothing antisemitic about that!

Cohen's and IfNotNow's analogy falls apart, as always, with two seconds of thought. The US doesn't define itself as a "white nation." Israel's entire reason for existence is to provide a secure place for the Jewish people to live without fear of being pawns at the whims of the leaders of the countries they reside in, as they have been so many times throughout history, including today.

Opposing that desire Jewish self determination is opposing the Jewish right to live as truly free people.

Beyond that, as is usually the case, is that Palestinian Arabs and allies have always acted towards Jews exactly like Buffalo murderer Payton S. Gendron acted towards Black people - with the exact same philosophy.

White supremacists espouse the "14 word" slogan, written David Lane who murdered Jewish radio host Alan Berg in 1984, that "we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." But he also pithily described the worldview behind it: "The Western nations were ruled by a Zionist conspiracy … [that] above all things wants to exterminate the White Aryan race."

Somehow, the white supremacists ascribe to Zionism the exact same foundational evil as their far Left opponents. And their use of the word "Zionist" as an innuendo for "Jew" is just as transparent.

If Em Cohen and IfNotNow were looking for an analogy for a movement that thinks that immigration of "the other" is the ultimate evil that must be opposed by any means, the best analogy would not be to Jews, but to the antisemitic Arabs who opposed Jewish immigration - and wanted to doom Jews to denocide in Europe.

After all, opposition to Jewish immigration was the single most important platform for all Arabs in Palestine in their anti-Jewish claims starting in the 1920s.

Arabs, as with today's antisemites, hid their hate of Jews behind a pretense of fear that immigration would limit their own economic opportunity - the exact opposite of the truth. Yet that was the main point hammered by the Arab side at the Shaw Commission, blaming Arab pogroms on fears of Jewish immigration (which "arouse among the Arabs the apprehensions that they will in time be deprived of their livelihood.") The murderous "Arab revolt" of 1936-1939 similarly blamed massacres of Jews on "fears of Jewish immigration."

They murdered Jews in the name of, essentially, the identical slogan of "Jews will not replace us" that the white supremacists of Charlottesville chanted in 2017.

The people who claim to be so much against antisemitism and right-wing bigotry happily embrace the worldview of the people whose philosophy towards Jews is exactly the same as the white supremacists.


No doubt, the modern antisemites would argue that they are only interested in peace for all. But that is what Jordan's King Abdullah claimed - when he pledged to stop, by force, all Jewish immigration to Palestine after Israel was declared.

He would have claimed that he was not antisemitic at all when he said that the only threat to peace in the Holy Land was...Jews. His desire to ethnically cleanse Jews from Israel was only to ensure peace - for the remaining non-Jews.

Sound familiar?

Every Nefesh B'nefesh flight into Israel showing hundreds of happy Jewish immigrants is covered by Arab media, today. Every news story about potential aliyah from South America or Ukraine or France is covered in detail by Arab media.

Their opposition to Jewish immigration has not lessened over the years. And their major Western allies never say a word against the identical, implacable opposition to immigration that white supremacists have.

Well, like I said, the peace-loving people of Israel, under the leadership of the group with the most impatient name––Peace Now!––have had enough. On Sunday, they tweeted a picture of a bulldozer taking apart something, adorned by the message: “28.5 (that’s May 28 to you and me) – We’re coming to take apart the Homesh outpost!”

And the accompanying text, quite warlike for this peace-seeking group, declares:

And this time with a bulldozer.
The talk is over. Gone are the days when a violent gang of Israel haters tramples on the rule of law and drags Israel into an endless bloody conflict.
We move on to action.
On May 28, at 1:00 PM, we will march together, masses of Israelis, to dismantle the criminals’ hill in Homesh!
Transportation is available from all over the country: (a link provided here).​

-----------
Peace Now is offering transportation from fifteen locations in Israel – here’s the list of pickups. Their Facebook page says 266 people have responded, which, if you’ve ever run your event via Facebook, does not mean 266 people will show up. Not even close. I would have said that if you were looking for a comfortable ride to Homesh on May 28, with lots of empty seats – you should get on one of the Peace Now buses. Except, naturally, May 28 is also Shabbat, so that complicates things for Jews.

The Honenu group which has been reporting on the situation in Homesh for the past half-year, responded with a clipped statement, saying that at the same time the nation is burying Yamam warrior Noam Raz H’yd, “we won’t respond to the provocations of the delusional left.”

A very deeply-frustrated delusional left at that.

UNRWA camp in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem, 1953


The official Palestinian Wafa news agency writes, "74 years ago, about 950,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their cities and villages, leaving behind their homes that they locked with their keys, which they still have in their possession, along with some old papers proving their ownership of their lands and properties. "

Are we up to 950,000 now? Apparently that is the number being used this year.

Taghrib News (Tehran) writes:

15th of May is the anniversary of Nakba Day (Day of Catastrophe) for the Palestinian nation, a day which ended with expulsion of 950,000 Palestinians out of 1,400,000 citizens across 1,300 cities and villages.
Indian news site Siasat Daily says:
Sunday, May 15, marks the 74th anniversary of the Palestinian people’s catastrophe, which displaced about 950,000 Palestinians out of 1,400,000 Palestinians from their original cities and towns, who used to live in 1,300 villages and cities.
This, as usual, is a completely made up number. The total number of Arabs in the Green Line as of the date of the UN Partition resolution was 809,000 and 160,000 remained in Israel, meaning that no more than 650,000 could have possibly become refugees.

UNRWA released higher estimates in 1951, but even they admitted that Palestinian Arabs were abusing their system, with many Arabs who already lived in the West Bank claiming to be refugees to get free services and UNRWA including tens of thousands born after 1948.

I can't find any source for 950,000. In fact, Al Jazeera in 2003 said that the total population in the Green Line was 950,000 before the war (no source cited for that higher number.)

As always, they just make numbers up.

Often, the lies become accepted fact by a credulous West who cannot believe that people would lie so blatantly.


 
JNS reports:


The European Union’s 2022-24 UNRWA aid budget will be 40% lower than during the previous three-year period, the E.U. announced last week.

The new budget will provide $82 million annually, compared to the previous average annual figure of $135 million, according to the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se), a Jerusalem-based nonprofit that monitors educational materials around the world for extremist content.

An additional $15 million was granted through the E.U.’s Food and Resilience Facility for 2022 to help ensure food security following the impact of the Ukraine crisis, according to the report.

I don't think these numbers are quite right. The EU budget is €82,000,000, which is $86,000,000. If you add the food programme (also in euros, not dollars) it comes out to over $102,000,000 budgeted this year.

However, this is a reduction from EU funding in the past. In 2019, the EU pledged a total of $132 million, and $157 million in 2020 (including a large pledge for Syrian refugees.) In 2021 that was reduced to $118 million.

So even $102 million in 2022 is a 13.5% reduction from 2021 and a 35% reduction from 2021.

This doesn't include any emergency funding that the EU might make available later this year, as UNRWA will inevitably say that it will have to close up shop when they cannot pay salaries and its workers will go on strike, as they do every few months. The numbers I quoted for previous years included not only the base budget but additional funding added under other appeals and projects, which may yet be added this year.

So while I don't think the reduction of 40% is accurate, there is a pattern of the EU reducing the amount it sends to UNRWA while UNRWA's count of "registered refugees" keeps increasing forever.

Considering that Gulf contributions to UNRWA have all but dried up since the mid-2010s, UNRWA will one day seen face a reckoning: either change its definition of "refugee" to be more in line with the Refugee Convention, or risk going bankrupt. There is absolutely no reason why UNRWA should spend hundreds of millions on "refugees" who are full Jordanian citizens, or "refugees" who live in the area of British Mandate Palestine they are supposedly refugees from.

That is a conversation that no one is willing to have because Palestinians will turn to violence if there is a hint of reduction of services. And the world would rather appease Palestinian threats rather than face facts.


 
For decades, Israel haters have been saying that Israeli goals are a state that stretches from the Nile to the Euphrates, based on Biblical verses.

Sometimes they even draw this mythical state on the map:




But as large as that is, it is a particle of dust compared to the actual, stated desire of at least one Palestinian cleric.

Palestinian Islamic Scholar Mohammed Afeef Shadid said on May 11:

(vide online)

"Palestine should be a center, a capital, and a starting point for conquering the world. Our sympathizers in the world, as well as our enemies should know, that the cause of our right of return does not pertain only to Palestine. The whole world is our battlefield. Our goal is not to liberate Palestine alone, but to liberate this sick world and deliver it from darkness to light."

And besides saying that he wants Palestinians to take over the world, he also just justified terror attacks against Jews worldwide by saying "the whole world is our battlefield."


 
The African country of Chad accepted the credentials of its new Israeli ambassador on Tuesday, marking the continued development of ties between the nations some five decades after they were severed.

Ben Bourgel, who serves as ambassador to a number of African nations, including Senegal and the Gambia, was received in a ceremony overseen by Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno.

From Middle East Monitor:


Algerian lawmakers, on Tuesday, submitted a Bill criminalising normalisation with Israel, including articles prohibiting travel or any direct or indirect contact with Tel Aviv, Anadolu News Agency reports.

Youssef Ajesa, a lawmaker from the Movement of Society for Peace, told Anadolu Agency that he "lodged on behalf of his party's group of deputies (65 out of 462) the Bill to the Parliament."

The Movement of Society for Peace is an Islamic party that forms the largest opposition bloc in the Algerian Parliament. The party's leadership, however, has constantly confirmed its support for the country's foreign policy.

Ajesa said "his parliamentary bloc tried to include other groups to contribute to the Bill, but it did not receive a response, so I took the initiative to present it in its name."

The Bill includes seven articles that aim to "criminalise normalisation with the Zionist entity (Israel)" as well as forbidding any contacts with Israel or travelling to and from Israel.

What is not mentioned is that Algerian parties have submitted similar bills in the past and they (surprisingly) failed.

Apparently, this bill is meant to copy Iraq's draft bill from last week to criminalize any contacts with Israel, a "crime" that could be punished with the death penalty.. The Iraqi parliament legal committee discussed the bill yesterday ahead of its second draft reading.
