It’s twue! It’s twue! Looks like Stuxnet really is doing some damage to Iran’s nuclear program. It’s starting to become a meme in the MSM. Those wily Jews! Sorry, I meant Zionists!
The de-Judaizing of Israel: Now the Palestinians are saying that the Kotel has nothing at all to do with Jewish history. So, all the archeologists who say that it’s the remnants of the Temple retaining wall are wrong, and Palestinian “scholars” are right. Of course. Watch for UNESCO to back them up on this one. And get a load of this bullshit: Making up facts in action.
He added that the Jews had never used the site for worship until the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
“This wall was never part of the so-called Temple Mount, but Muslim tolerance allowed the Jews to stand in front of it and weep over its destruction,†he wrote. “During the British mandate in Palestine, the number of Jews who visited the wall increased to a point where the Muslims felt threatened, and then there was the Al-Buraq Revolution on August 23, 1929, where dozens of Muslims were martyred and a large number of Jews were killed.â€
Sure. These are the people who want peace with Israel. At least, until they can use their new state to destroy the Jewish one.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat. The latest AP analysis on Jerusalem. Unless you’ve never read my blog, there’s nothing for me to say that you can’t predict I would say about this piece. I’m betting you could make an Yourish.com Mad Libs by now.
The CSM: Hamas’ PR tool. This article on Gazan “collaborators” could have been written by Hamas. It doesn’t touch upon torture and false accusations until the second page, and this is the closest it comes to thinking that maybe, just maybe, Hamas isn’t arresting only “collaborators.”
Because of the secrecy surrounding the campaign, it is also unclear whether the government is using it to punish political enemies. Younis says he has not heard complaints of this, though the intelligence source said many of those arrested belonged to Fatah.
This is why I loathe so much reporting about Israel (or, frankly, about almost anything) these days. There is no real investigation, only a mild “Let’s get someone to refute this” quote. I worked harder on my investigative reports in effing college than these people do as professionals.
Read the Christian “Science” reader comments if you want to see how effed up some of their readers are! I wonder how many CS churches exist in the Middle East!
I am always amazed at displays of an intentional will towards ignorance.
“During the British mandate in Palestine, the number of Jews who visited the wall increased to a point where the Muslims felt threatened, and then there was the Al-Buraq Revolution on August 23, 1929, where dozens of Muslims were martyred and a large number of Jews were killed.â€
1929. That was the year of the Muslim pogrom that destroyed the Jewish community of Hebron, and murdered Jews all over Mandate Palestine. Jews lived continuously in Hebron for, probably, 3000 years but then the Arabs decided to kill them. All who were not killed were driven out by the Arabs and no Jews lived there again until after the Six-Day War in 1967. As for the Arab “martyrs,” they were Arabs killed by the police who were defending Jews against Arab murderers.
I suppose we must be thankful that this Palestinian spokesliar admitted that any Jews were killed at all. One might think that innocent people, murdered by religious fanatics simply because they were Jews, were the real martyrs, and not their murderers.
The Arabs are lucky that Israel’s Jews are so good-hearted and forgiving that they have not driven all the Arabs out of Eretz Israel “from the river to the sea,” the way the Sudeten Germans and the Ost-Deutsch were driven out of Czechoslovakia and Poland in 1945. The Jews would have had the same justification as did the Czechs and Poles; the people they were driving out had started a war intended to destroy their country and commit genocide on its people. It is curious that the world does not seem to consider this genocidal goal, held by all of Israel’s enemies (and some who are ostensibly not enemies), to place those countries beyond the pale of civilized relations. Quite the contrary.
