The Right To Destroy Jewish History

Deputy Director-General of the PA Ministry of Culture:

  • Israel “has no folklore or story, and a nation without folklore is a nation without culture, a nation without a future”

  • Israel “is attempting to steal [our] story, this heritage, and to attribute them to itself”

  • Israel “has folklore in the lands it came from… Those who came from Europe have folklore in Europe, in France, in Britain, or in America… it knows well that it necessarily will return to where it came from because it has no existence in this land at all”

  • Israel “has no garb, no dress, no kind of food, no debka, and no art. It is all stolen”

(COMMENT)

When I followed the link backward to the source document, I find what these advocates for conflict are citing is not "International Law."

A/RES/33/24. 29 November 1978 is NOT Law.

The Law especially as applied to the disputed territories, says something completely different. Remember Article 68 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Anyone following this advice is liable to prosecution.

Arab Palestinians who commit an offense that is solely intended to harm the Occupying Power (Israelis) shall be liable to internment or simple imprisonment provided the duration of such internment or imprisonment is proportionate to the offense committed. The Israelis (in accordance with Articles 64 and 65) may impose the death penalty on Arab Palestinians in cases where the person is guilty of:​
◈. Espionage,​
◈. Serious acts of sabotage against the military installations​
◈. Intentional offences which have caused the death of one or more persons​

Further, just the implied statements that advocate violence are punishable under International Law.

Article 20 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
1. Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law.​
2. Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.​

Most Arab Palestinians do not understand that "incitement" (See; Parry & Grant Encyclopaedic Dictionary of International Law / John P. Grant and J. Craig Barker. -- 3rd ed. Copyright ˝ 2009 by Oxford University Press, Inc. pp 484/485)

Preamble. By S/RES/1624 ( 2005 ) of 14 September 2005, para. 6, of the mandate​
The Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) was extended to include monitoring incitement to commit terrorist acts. See < www.un.org/sc/ctc >; Nesi, International Cooperation in Counter-terrorism​

The Jerusalem Post reports:


New research on several artifacts dating back 2,600 years and uncovered in the area of the Temple Mount or its immediate proximity has shed light on where both the Temple and the Kingdom of Judah’s treasuries once stood, two Israeli archaeologists have suggested.
The two, Zachi Dvira and Dr. Gabriel Barkay, analyzed dozens of clay seals that were found over the decades by sifting soil from the holy area – where archaeological digs are not allowed – as well as from excavations at Ophel Park, adjacent to the southern wall of the Old City.
Clay seals were used in antiquity to sign documents or containers, ensuring they would reach their recipients closed and untouched. The seals could bear symbols or inscriptions.
“Scholars usually don’t consider the back of the seals, but by doing it, a lot can be learned, especially about the type of objects they were attached to,” said Dvira.
By analyzing the seals, the scholars realized that a significant number of the artifacts carried impressions of woven fabrics on their reverse. This likely indicated that they were used to seal small bags filled with precious metals.

A lot of the evidence gathered for this research came from the Temple Mount Sifting Project, which goes through tons of debris that the Waqf dumped in the 1990s from their illegal digs underneath the Temple Mount.

Since the Temple Mount Sifting Project has been going through the debris, it has found numerous findings from the First Temple period including these seals. Clearly, there was an important building on the site and others surrounding it during the Iron Age. The evidence would be far more fragmentary if it wasn't for the Muslims who tried to destroy Jewish history.

As far as I know, there had been essentially no findings from the First Temple period before the Sifting Project and a few other projects on or near the Mount.

Imagine what could have been found if Israel had not allowed the Waqf to build the Marwani Mosqueunderground



 
In an incident that made headlines in June 2020, Ahmad Erekat was caught on video committing an act of terrorism in a car-ramming attack on Israeli soldiers. In the attack, Erekat approached an Israeli checkpoint in Abu Dis, near Jerusalem and then abruptly accelerated and swerved his car 90 degrees into Israeli police, ramming and knocking a female officer into the air, before colliding with the booth and coming to a stop. Erekat is said to have ignored warnings issued by Israeli officers and swiftly exited his car, possibly in an effort to attack more soldiers.

Israel says he carried out a premeditated and intentional terror attack, whereas Erekat’s family says he was rushing to pick up his sister and mother ahead of a family wedding later that evening, and lost control of his vehicle.

Visitors at Mac’s exhibit watch an 18-minute video made by Forensic Architecture which claims that Erekat was “executed” by “Israeli occupation forces” after his car crashed at an Israeli checkpoint (Watch the video narrated by anti-Israel activist Angela Davis below). In the video, Israel is called a “neo-colonial regime”, and checkpoints are erroneously described as “illegal”.

Thuman’s error is two-fold. First, no part of Jerusalem is, or ever has been, “Palestinian territory.” From 1948 to 1967, it was occupied by Jordan. Before that, Jerusalem was part of the British Mandate. The Nov. 29, 1947 partition plan had called for Jerusalem to be a corpus separatum, an international city administered by the UN for 10 years, at which point the city’s status was to be decided in a referendum. Before the British Mandate, the city was under Ottoman control, and so on. Going back through history, at no point was any part of the city “Palestinian territory.”

Other leading media outlets have corrected the identical or similar error. For instance, AP published the following significant correction Feb. 21, 2018, after erroneously reporting “east Jerusalem is Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since the 1967 war”:

In a story Feb. 21, The Associated Press reported that east Jerusalem is Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967. The story should have made clear that this was quoting a speech by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to the U.N. Security Council. The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of a future state, a position backed by most of the international community. Israel considers the entire city, including the eastern sector, to be its undivided capital.

Second, contrary to the report, the American consulate is located in west Jerusalem. The Palestinian Affairs Unit of the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem was located on Agron Street, in the western part of the city, not in east Jerusalem, which is the part of the city that Palestinians claim as capital of their future state. The west Jerusalem Agron Street building appears at 2:46 minutes into the broadcast (screen capture at left), precisely when Thuman refers to the “reopening of a diplomatic compound, an American consulate, located in a part of Jerusalem considered Palestinian territory.” The broadcast again show the Agron Street building and refers to the “reopening of the U.S. diplomatic facility for Palestinians in Jerusalem” at 4:09 minutes.

(Separately, the State Department also had operated America House Jerusalem, a center for cultural, tech and educational programs, located on Nablus Street in east Jerusalem. While the America House was in east Jerusalem, it wasn’t the consulate.)

Both Reuters and Haaretz have previously corrected after mislocating the U.S. consulate in east Jerusalem.

Thuman’s misinformation was not limited to supposed Palestinian sovereignty in Jerusalem or the location of the Agron Street building. Thuman also grossly misled about President Trump’s declaration that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital, stating: “At the time no other country in the world had made such a declaration.” Thuman also misreported that Trump’s declaration was a reversal of decades of US policy. In fact, The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 clearly and explicitly states:

The Congress makes the following findings: (1) Each sovereign nation, under international law and custom, may designate its own capital. (2) Since 1950, the city of Jerusalem has been the capital of the State of Israel.
Moreover, multiple other countries have previously located their embassies in Jerusalem.

Finally, in a startling indication that Thuman was clearly outside his depth, he employed extremely problematic and highly objectionable language referring to Palestinian “sovereignty blocked by an American and Jewish alliance.” What, precisely, did Thuman mean by an “American and Jewish alliance”? Did he mean American and Israeli? If so, that’s what he should have said because a) Jews also live in America in addition to numerous other countries all around the world. Are these dispersed Jews in their respective countries allegedly responsible for blocking Palestinian sovereignty? And b) The American government is largely Christian and its policy is mostly determined by the overwhelmingly Christian voting public which backs Israel. If Thuman cites “Jewish” as shorthand for Israel, shouldn’t he be consistent and cite “Christian” as shorthand for American? Obviously, the answer to the rhetorical question is “no,” and merely underscores that Thuman should have said “American and Israel alliance.”

The Washington Post on January 10 published a piece by Bloomberg columnist Max Hastings, titled “Israel’s Filmmakers Take Aim at the Nation’s Moral Ambiguities,” which seeks to reconcile the paradox of depictions on film of Israeli power and heroism with what he perceives to be contradictory realities on the ground.

Specifically, Hastings notes that Israeli perseverance has of late been depicted in works such as “The Spy” (2019, about an Israeli who for years infiltrated the highest ranks of the Syrian government), “Tehran” (2020, about spy operations in Iran), “Valley of Tears” (2020, about the 1973 Yom Kippur War) and the upcoming “Golda” (about Israel Prime Minister Golda Meir). Yet, the author argues, in the five decades since the Yom Kippur War, “the world has seen Israel exploit its military dominance to treat the Palestinian people with a harshness that cannot be justified merely by rehearsing the wickedness of terrorism.”

Under closer scrutiny, Hastings’ assertions turn out to be rather specious.

Ignored: Israeli Peace Efforts, Palestinian Rejectionism​

Referring to the words of a former Shin Bet (Israel’s internal security service) chief from the film “The Gatekeepers,” Hastings concludes that “since the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, successive Israeli governments had made no serious political attempt to secure peace, relying instead on the army and intelligence services to hold down the occupied territories.”

Yet it was five years after Rabin’s assassination that the Camp David Accords were convened. Mediated by US President Bill Clinton, the parameters of the deal offered sweeping concessions to Palestinian demands: an independent state on nearly 100 percent of the West Bank and Gaza with a road connecting the two territories, eastern Jerusalem as their capital with control over the Temple Mount, and a formula for the “Right of Return,” the claim by Palestinians that refugees and their descendants should be allowed to resettle in Israel.

Yet while Jerusalem accepted these terms, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat rejected the peace offer.

(COMMENT)

As the Arab Palestinians sink further and further behind in terms of 21st Century development, it is important to keep in mind: → that no matter how much they scream, chant, blog, march, dramatize, or fire indiscriminately targeted rockets to amplify their plight, → they brought this on themselves. It is a consequence of seven decades of very poor leadership that consistently chose an unproductive path.

In 1948, the Arab Palestinians allowed the Arab League proxies to assume control over all that was outside the control of Israel. So, for two decades the Arab Palestinian territory (pre-1967), was occupied by some Arab entity other than the Palestinians. They could have had so much more than they have now; but, rejected cooperation at every turn. They have no right to complain…

A news site I had not seen before, Al Khanadeq, showed up on my Google News feed. It may be Houthi - it is certainly pro-Iran and pro-Hezbollah and its readership is mostly in Yemen.

Here's the beginning of one article and the accompanying photo:




The Jews saw that the most successful way to beautify the image of the Jew in the eyes of the world is to control the international media. In 1869, the Jewish Rabbi “Rashoron” expressed in his speech in the city of Prague the intensity of the Jews’ interest in the media, saying, “If gold is our first power to control the world, then the press should be our second strength."

In 1897, the first Zionist Congress in the Swiss city of Basel was a dangerous turning point. The participants said that their plan to establish an Israeli state would not succeed if they did not have complete control over the media, especially the press. Today, statistics indicate that 224 newspapers and bulletins are issued by Jewish organizations in America, in addition to forty secret bulletins circulated by Jews only, as well as their complete control over the major media.

I have no idea where this "Rabbi Rasharon" came from. I found that MEMRI had once translated an article from the most popular Palestinian newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida that had these same paragraphs verbatim, but MEMRI translated the name as "Rabbi Yeshurun" which is almost as unlikely.

This is all stuff that was probably taken directly from a neo-Nazi site, yet the far Left that pretends to hate antisemitism and Nazis never say a word against Arab antisemitism.

Because they are on the same side.

 
Sources say a small contingent of influential Academy members pushed hard for nonwhite cinema to be highlighted and white contributions to be de-emphasized. A review of the exhibits would seem to support this notion. Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, for example, received a retrospective, while there was no similar treatment for the genre’s godfather, Walt Disney.

The relative obscurity of others spotlighted, such as Ethiopian director Haile Gerima, who received the museum’s first Vanguard Award, left some patrons scratching their heads.

If identity was a priority in programming, Jewish identity apparently was not. There is scant mention of Jewish trailblazers.

A source who is familiar with programming decisions says it was a battle no one was willing to fight, even if that meant a skewed overview of cinema history: “A lot of people who might have fought harder for the representation of Jews were just really laying low,” says the source.

The museum will try to make up for this with a future, permanent exhibition highlighting Hollywood's history (that wasn't originally intended to be permanent.) But the damage has been done.
“By not including the founding fathers out of the gate, they were making a massive statement,” says Triller co-founder and Academy member Ryan Kavanaugh. “As the grandson of Holocaust survivors, it’s just shocking that they erased the contributions of a group who faced severe anti-Semitism — they couldn’t get bank loans, they couldn’t own homes in L.A., and yet they still created this industry that is the bedrock of the L.A. economy and touches people around the world. Instead of, ‘Look at what what they were able to do,’ it’s just wiped out. It goes against everything that our industry says they stand for.”
Hollywood was built by Jews who were marginalized by society which forced them to create an entire new industry. Now, the small but loud bullies who dominate the woke, intersectional conversation decided that Jews should be marginalized again.

It is wonderful to highlight the contributions of minorities to motion pictures. It is antisemitic to airbrush out the Jews who created the entire industry.
