Palestinian Industry of Lies - Ben Dror Yemini

Some accusations against Israel are so ridiculous, they can only be made at the UN Human Rights Council.

Al Awda, the "Palestinian Return Center," said at a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council that Israel was discriminating against Palestinians on religious grounds

Speaking with the UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, under the ninth item on the agenda of the 50th session of the Human Rights Council, they mentioned that Israel prevented those under the age of 50 from praying at Al Aqsa.

Israel sometimes does this to minimize the chance of terror attacks, but there are plenty of men under 50 who visit al-Aqsa, like this very devout worshiper.




"On the other hand, it allows Jewish settlers of all ages to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, amid provocative and racist expressions and insults against the Palestinians." The "racist expressions" are usually Biblical quotes.

They also claimed that Palestinian Christians were subjected to religious discrimination too, as the Israeli forces recently prevented large numbers of them from celebrating Christmas in the city of Bethlehem. They didn't mention that this was in response to the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

Al-Awda said that restricting worshipers' access to Islamic and Christian holy sites is a flagrant violation of human rights, especially Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It called on members of the Human Rights Council to publicly condemn deliberate religious discrimination by Israel, and to take the necessary measures to protect places of worship in Jerusalem, and support freedom of worship for all worshipers.



Meanwhile, Palestinians are literally shooting at real worshipers attempting to visit Joseph's Tomb. And you can bet that no one said a word about this at the UNHRC (unless Hillel Neuer from UN Watch managed to.)

A pro-terror organization whose entire purpose is to destroy a UN member state is not only allowed to attend UNHRC sessions, but it can promote lies without anyone in those hallowed chambers even considering that they are making things up.

People who shoot at Jewish worshippers say that Israel practices religious discrimination

Palestinians Complain - Their Cultural Appropriation Has Been Culturally Appropriated

The caftan has been worn by a number of cultures around the world for thousands of years, and is of ancient Mesopotamian (modern-day Iraq) origin. The thobe or thawb did not originate in the region of “Palestine,” but is rather general to the Arabian Peninsula and Middle East. The “palestinian” style thobe originated in the early 19th century, which is clearly way after the ancient Mesopotamians were walking around in caftans!

Just another day in the world of ridiculous palestinian propaganda.

Talk about cultural appropriation...

Palestinian Propaganda Culturally Appropriates the Bagel​

In yesterday’s post on a recent palestinian propaganda cultural appropriation, I quipped:

For people who keep whining that we culturally appropriate “their” things (like matzo ball soup, apparently), they sure as hell do a good job culturally appropriating ours.

It is almost as if propaganda page Olive Palestine – fast becoming a “favorite” of mine – took this as their cue.

To culturally appropriate bagels.


Believe it or not, this is the not the first palestinian attempt to do so.

Last year, Reem Kassis, someone who once wrote a piece in the Washington Post entitled Here’s why Palestinians object to the term ‘Israeli food’: It erases us from history, claimed the bagel came from Arab traders. As I showed in that post, this does not seem to be true. But:

At the end of the day, all foods can be argued to have been influenced by others. In a sense, everyone somehow appropriates from someone else. And this doesn’t just apply to foods. Jews could argue that other monotheistic religions appropriated from Judaism, but what’s the point?

But the palestinian propaganda machine love to spray the proverbial buck shot, hoping something hits the target.

The bagel is the latest victim, but believe it or not, this is the not the first palestinian attempt to culturally appropriate it

‘Miss Global Palestine’ Lauren Imseeh Removes Posts Following Exposé of Her Hypocrisy​

Meet Lauren Imseeh, Miss Global Palestine 2022, who decided to make this statement while participating in a beauty pageant in Indonesia:




Also posted on her Instagram: other evidence of her “imprisonment.”

Like this photo of her:

While one of the commenters remarks that is Las Vegas, it is not. It is D City, located in the Judean desert! How do I know this?

For a start, I have been there and recognize it. But for those of you who desire more proof than my word (which you all should), check out this video from someone who visited,
s he is standing in front of the Chocolove shop seen at 5:50 -




And if that doesn’t convince you, there is some other evidence in the photo: Religious Jews in the background:

In other words, this woman protesting her “imprisonment” is free to go wherever she wants in Israel, shopping among Jews and modeling free of abandon. I doubt she would be able to model like this in Gaza.

In fairness, her house in Jerusalem doesn’t look too shabby either:

And here she is in another Israeli city – Ashdod:

The Palestinian Authority has signed numerous international conventions, without any reservations. It never intended to adhere to any of them. The only reason it signed them, as admitted by Palestinians themselves, is to make it appear to be a legitimate state so it can bring charges against Israel at the ICC.

However, these conventions do have requirements, so the Palestinian leaders must then submit to the UN a sheaf of lies to cover for the fact that they never did anything substantial to take on their obligations under international law.

One of the many international conventions the PA signed was the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in 2014. (It also signed the Optional Protocol to the Convention in 2017. )

One of the provisions in the Convention is the issue a report within one year of signing the Comvention and then an additional one every four years afterwards on how it has implemented the Convention. The PA has finally issued itsinitial report that should have been published in 2015.

The 67-page report is a joke. It brags about passing laws and says nothing about actual efforts on the ground to stop torture. It is a whitewash that even Palestinian NGOs are upset about. UN Watch dissects it very nicely.

Beyond that, as always, the Palestinian Authority uses this report not to discuss its own human rights abuses, but to blame Israel for everything. To do this, it resorts to a torrent of lies.

It is difficult to overstate how pervasive the Palestinian industry of lies is. Every statement, every document, every official press agency report is simply filled with falsehoods, and the average observer simply cannot believe that the "State of Palestine" would lie so egregiously in official reports to the UN or official statements to the world. The Palestinians have created a brand new propaganda method - instead of the famous Big Lie of Hitler and Goebbels, the Palestinians have perfected a Sea of Lies technique, making up thousands of little lies that build on each other so the overall effect is that so many lies in such seeming detail must be true.

It would take encyclopedias to expose every single one of the falsehoods in the Sea of Lies. I will show only one of them here.

In Paragraph 47, the Palestinian authors claim:

The conditions of detention in which Palestinian women [in Israeli prisons] are held are wretched.... They are forced to give birth with their hands bound, regardless of the pain they endure in labour and childbirth.

There are no footnotes for the charge that Israeli prison authorities shackle pregnant prisoners during childbirth.

It is completely made up.

The last pregnant Palestinian prisoner in Israeli prison was Anhar al-Deek, who had tried to stab Israelis. After a public campaign she was released to give birth while under house arrest. She had smuggled out a letter claiming that she would be shackled while giving birth in an Israeli hospital, but it simply isn't true.

The source for the lie seems to be from a previous prisoner who gave birth in an Israeli hospital, 15 years ago. Palestinian NGOs submitted to the UN this "testimony" which itself is highly suspect, but even she doesn't claim that she gave birth while handcuffed: "After delivery, I was cuffed by having one arm and one leg tied to the bed. In this position I was left for several hours before being taken back to my room."

What is not said is that this woman - a mother of eight - had attempted a suicide bombing while she was already nine months pregnant. She didn't seem to have much concern for her unborn child then. And that is a pretty good reason to take extra precautions to ensure she didn't escape from a hospital room only weeks after attempting to mass murder Jews.

It is obvious that Israel doesn't handcuff Palestinian prisoners as they are giving birth. Even the most anti-Israel NGO doesn't make that claim. But the Palestinian Authority does, in official documentation sent to the UN.

The major goal in everything they do, every statement they make, is to demonize Israel. And their citizens are expected to do the same. The rules are clear.

This one sentence in this one document proves that you cannot believe a word the Palestinian Authority says.

In a sane world, a consistent pattern of lying would destroy the credibility of the liar. But with the Sea of Lies, the web of falsehoods is perceived as increasing the credibility of the lies and the liars. The media is guilty of not bothering to do the slightest fact check of Palestinian statements; indeed they report them uncritically - because they want to believe the lies of a Jew-hating, terror supporting organization.

On May 31, 2022, Palestinian NGO Al-Haq, along with 90 co-signatories, submitted a flagrantly antisemitic report to the UN Human Rights Council UNHRC’s permanent “Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel” (COI).1The submission presents a blatantly false historical account, denying Israel’s right to exist and denying the Jewish people their right to sovereign equality. In this respect, Al-Haq and the other NGOs contravene the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism, specifically its identification of “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” as antisemitic.

Notably, much of the narrative repeats antisemitic arguments from Arab ideologues, such as the Syrian-born Fayez Sayegh who ran the PLO’s propaganda center in Beirut in the 1960s. It also reflects the language used in the final declaration of the infamous NGO Forum of the 2001 UN Durban World Conference on Racism.

However, Google had already debunked the claim that “Palestine” was deliberately wiped off maps of the region, explaining that there was no general consensus on what a potential Palestinian state’s borders would be.

More recently, The New Yorker Magazine’s online crossword puzzle on February 2 included a clue that referred to the Negev as a “desert that covers more than half of Palestine.”

Bizarrely though, The New Yorker chose to exclude “Israel” from the hint while including “Negev,” a Hebrew word describing the desert region framed by the Jewish state’s borders with Jordan and Egypt.

Condé Nast, the global media conglomerate that owns Vogue and The New Yorker, published a piece this month, titled The Unsung Food Destinations to Travel for Now, which completely severs the connection between the city of Nazareth and the country where it’s located: Israel.

Meanwhile, the Condé Nast Traveler feature deems the inhabitants of this biblical town, associated in the New Testament as the home of the boyhood Jesus, as “Palestinian.”

----------

Where in the World is Nazareth? Hint: It’s Not in the West Bank​

The anecdotal evidence above is indicative of a new reality. Data shows that most Arabs in Israel today self-identify primarily as “Israeli Arab” or “Israeli.” In fact, the Pluralism Index last year recorded a sharp decline in the number of people in Israel who consider their primary identity to be “Palestinian.”

The survey asked respondents to rate how much they agree with the phrase “I feel like a real Israeli.” Most Arabs responded that they either agree completely (65%) or somewhat agree (33%) with the statement.
------------

Condé Nast’s Track Record on Israel​

One may want to dismiss the inclusion of Nazareth and the exclusion of Israel — even though every other city cited in Condé Nast Traveler’s list also correctly lists its location country — as a simple case of sloppy journalism. The problem with that assumption is that Condé Nast subsidiaries have in recent months made a concerted effort to undermine Israel’s legitimacy.

Last year, Vogue Arabia posted an image of a flower-festooned Israel on its Instagram page and website, alongside a caption that described the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a “hot-button” issue. It claimed the illustration was created by a Turkey-based artist in response to “Palestine not being included in Google Maps.”

By inserting ‘Palestine’ in its crossword puzzle — and thus depicting it as a viable, functioning entity — The New Yorker Magazine demonstrated its total lack of regard for established facts. Moreover, the publication, whose weekly circulation exceeds 1.2 million, is effectively legitimizing unilateral Palestinian efforts to achieve statehood while bypassing peace talks with Israel.

Italian chef Giada De Laurentiis once said that “food brings people together on many different levels. It’s nourishment of the soul and body; it’s truly love.”

On the other hand, Condé Nast’s blatant politicization of the Israeli city of Nazareth and its reputation as a culinary destination is almost certain to leave readers with a bitter taste in the mouth.



We call on our readers to reach out to Condé Nast Traveler, either by sending a letter to the editor here or via Twitter, to ask that the Nazareth segment be amended. You may also want to message one of the writers of the segment, Devra Ferst.

On International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, Head of the PA Anti-Narcotic Department Abdallah Ilawie blamed Israel for the “rise in the use of drugs” among Palestinians. The PA official claimed Israel deliberately uses drugs as a “tool” against Palestinian youth. The host on official PA TV interviewing him seconded this, stating that Israel “is aiding and contributing to the spread of this [drug] epidemic among the Palestinian public”:

Head of the PA Anti-Narcotic Department Abdallah Ilawie: “There is a demand and rise in the use of drugs as a result of factors, some of which are social and some of which are financial. We are a state that is being subjected to occupation. This is one of the tools-”
Official PA TV host: “Right.”
Abdallah Ilawie: “-that the occupation is using to divert the [Palestinians’] compass, and especially among the youth.” …
Host: “This is a great challenge, especially on everything concerning the occupier who is aiding and contributing to the spread of this [drug] epidemic among the Palestinian public.”
[Official PA TV, Palestine This Morning, June 27, 2022]

This is not the first time the PA is blaming Israel for Palestinian drug problems. In fact, as numerous Palestinian Media Watch reports document, the PA seems positively “addicted” to blaming Israel whenever its drug problem is mentioned. Even PA Chairman Abbas has repeated this allegation, claiming Israel brings "cannabis and drugs" to Palestinians because they "don't want us to have a future":

A Palestinian leather goods and embroidery shop in Ramallah, named "Rahala" ("nomad,") insists that American, British and French customers grovel and apologize before they are allowed to purchase any items:


This won't hurt their sales. On the contrary. Their products are meant to appeal to exactly the kinds of people who would happily grovel for the privilege of purchasing these items.

A Chicago Tribune article last year featuring Noora Jebreal, an American importer from the shop, says:

But more than pretty pieces, the products have a political meaning.

Holding up a pink slipper with black crossover threading resembling a wire fence, Imad says in Arabic, “I made this shoe in 1999, and it’s called ‘prison,’” during a March Instagram Live interview with Jebreal. The slipper represents the open-air prison that many Palestinians and humanitarians feel Gaza has become.

Of course, in 1999 Gaza was not under blockade and the Oslo process was in full swing, but why should a reporter bother to check the facts from people who are clearly pushing a political message?

One other part of the article struck me, and it is a small but telling example of how the media is willing and eager to allow Palestinian lies to become part of the record.

The Rahalah workers, according to Jebreal, couldn’t take things to the post to get mailed from Bethlehem to Tel Aviv during the height of the pandemic.

“What was once a 15-minute car ride is now a 45-minute car ride (for his transporters from Ramallah to Bethlehem),” she said. “And you know gas is more expensive out there too because Israel has sanctions on that for Palestinians. And then you have to pay the actual shipping from Israel to the states.”

I had never heard of "gasoline sanctions" on Palestinians before, so I looked up current fuel prices on gasoline in the Palestinian territories and in Israel.

According to Numbeo, the average price for gasoline in the Palestinian territories is ILS 6.55 per liter, while in Israel it is ILS 6.97. (That's $7.74 per gallon.)

Yes, gas is cheaper for Palestinians than for Israelis.

But the actual facts are too good to check. After all, the media is filled with stories about how Israel oppresses Palestinians, so of course it sounds right that Israel would tax fuel for them, too. And why would such a nice young woman lie? So her lie gets published, unedited, by a major American newspaper, and the goal of demonizing Israel with cumulative lies - which is the entire point of this store - is achieved.

Palestinian propaganda has won yet again.

And as this article shows, it is cumulative - when one lie gets accepted, then it becomes easier for the next lie to be accepted as well, since no one bothered to fact check the first one. Eventually you create an entire narrative based on lies that are so entrenched that the media doesn't bother to begin to unravel them, and simply publishes them without checking.

France24 Arabic Jerusalem correspondent Laila Odeh has a history of biased coverage of Israel and Israeli affairs. Among other issues, the journalist in the service of the French public broadcaster misleadingly referred to nonviolent Jews who visited Jerusalem’s Temple Mount / Noble Sanctuary as “settlers storming the al-Aqsa Mosque” and also labeled Israel’s internationally recognized territory “occupied” and “the 1948 territories.”

More recently, earlier this month she speculated about the investigation into the bullet which allegedly killed Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh:

Israeli officials have confirmed, both by a military statement and in the Israeli press, that the Israeli military or the Israelis took part in the process of inspecting the bullet which the PA handed over to the Americans; that the process of ballistic inspection was unable to determine the party responsible for Shireen Abu Akleh’s death; and even on the matter of the weapon from which the bullet was fired, it was not determined what was the weapon, which actually fired the bullet. That is to say, this could be a preliminary attempt to dissipate the affair and to avoid holding any of the parties liable, the Israeli side in particular.
[…]
Of course, the Shireen Abu Akleh affair today has taken a greater dimension, perhaps, within the attempt to wriggle Israel out of assuming responsibility [for its actions], but with overt American support this time. [Translation by CAMERA Arabic. Emphases added.]

There is zero evidence that an American-Israeli cover-up has ever taken place. Odeh’s injection of unsubstantiated speculations therefore amounts to unprofessional editorializing completely at odds with the journalistic standards incumbent upon the tax-funded French broadcaster.

July 24, 2022 was the 100th anniversary of the League of Nations' issuance of the Mandate for Palestine, which authorized Britain to administer Palestine and the Transjordan. On the occasion of this anniversary, Palestinian Culture Minister 'Atef Abu Saif published an article in the Al-Ayyam daily that was sharply critical of Britain, stating that, other than the Zionist movement, it is the element that committed the gravest crimes against the Palestinian people. Britain, said Abu Saif, deliberately conquered Palestine in order to hand it over the Jews so they could "murder and expel" its Palestinian inhabitants, and today it is continuing its crimes by refusing to recognize the Palestinian state and denying the rights of the Palestinian people. Abu Saif called to activate the pro-Palestinian lobby in Britain in order to pressure its government to recognize the Palestinian state and act to end the occupation. He also called to demand a formal and public apology from Britain for its crimes against the Palestinians, and to sue it for these crimes in an international court.
