Gideon Levy is an antisemitic misozionist* who is paid for his poison by an Israeli newspaper. He is a truly despicable human, but sometimes he’s useful as an exemplar of the extremist Israeli please-cut-my-throat Left.

Recently he wrote,

If Israel is a democracy, it’s a state of all its citizens. There is no democracy that isn’t a state of all its citizens. From America to Germany, all are states of all their citizens. If they weren’t, to whom would they belong? Only to their privileged citizens. There’s no such thing as a democracy that belongs only to the privileged of one nationality.  The state belongs to everyone. A regime that segregates and discriminates is called apartheid. There is no other name. … A state of all its citizens isn’t “the slogan of the enemy,” as the new foreign minister [Yisrael Katz] put it. It’s the heart and soul of democracy.

It’s a cold day in Hell when our dear Gideon doesn’t refer to Israel as an apartheid state, but usually he is referring to the fact that Palestinian Arabs living in Judea and Samaria cannot vote. This time he seems to be inspired by an even more fundamental fact, that Israel is defined – by its Declaration of Independence and now by its Nation-State Law – as a Jewish state. Since there are Arabs living here – even though these Arabs have the right to vote and hold office, as well as all the other usual civil rights – Israel cannot be a democracy.

African American and Jewish members of Congress, led by Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.), Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.), Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), Will Hurd (R-Texas) and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), announced the formation of a Congressional Caucus on Black-Jewish Relations.

American Jews — reeling from two deadly attacks on synagogues, violent attacks on Jews on the streets of New York City, and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan’s vocal attacks on Jews and Judaism — should welcome this initiative as a ray of hope against the backdrop of gathering storm clouds.

So, too, should African Americans who have made substantial social and economic gains since Martin Luther King Jr. led the crusade for civil rights a half-century ago. Today, African Americans and Jews still top the FBI’s annual list of groups targeted for hate crimes, and their houses of worship have been targeted by violent racists. Both have much to gain from reinvigorating the historic alliance of African Americans and American Jews.

Former UK Chief Rabbi argued that a society that tolerates anti-Semitism or any form of hate has forfeited all moral credibility.

Arutz Sheva

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, formerly the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, spoke on Thursday in a House of Lords debate on worldwide anti-Semitism.

In his remarks, the rabbi argued that a society, or a political party, that tolerates anti-Semitism or any form of hate, has forfeited all moral credibility.

“I’ve just returned from a conference in Warsaw. It’s a city I don’t know well. And I was shaken to discover that the Warsaw Ghetto, which existed between November 1940 and May 1943, was pretty much in the center of town. With its 9 foot high walls topped by barbed wire, holding 400,000 Jews, its existence must have been known by everyone in Warsaw,” he said.

Rashida Tlaib, the Muslim congresswoman who proclaimed that she feels more Palestinian than American in Congress, and wrapped herself in a Palestinian terrorist flag at her victory party on Friday, May 10, proudly declared, “There’s always kind of a calming feeling, I tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust.”  We were deeply offended but not surprised as she had already revealed her lack of empathy for the tragic suffering of so many millions of innocents because she was  raised in a culture of disrespect, contempt, bloodshed and death. The Hebrew Commandments mandate respect and reciprocity (The Golden Rule), and the Hebrew and Christian Bibles were able to humanize the savages that had existed previously, while the Koran commands that Muslims torment and kill Jews, Christians, and others unless they convert to Islam (2:120; 3:56; 3:85; 3:118; 3:178; 5:14; and more).  Tlaib added, “When I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their ‘human dignity,’ their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people’s passports.”

With both Israeli and Palestinian officials absent from an upcoming economic summit in Bahrain, how much progress can possibly be made at what has been described as the first step in the US administration’s long-awaited plan for Middle East peace?

According to American Enterprise Institute resident scholar and former Pentagon official Michael Rubin, “A donors’ conference absent Israelis and Palestinians would be a bit of an embarrassment. That [being] said, both economic integration and Palestinian self-sufficiency are keys to a better future, deal or no deal.”

Despite being told Israel would participate in the conference by the United States, Jerusalem has yet to receive an invitation to the event. Although the Prime Minister’s Office has denied reports Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has no intention of “chasing an invitation,” it appears Netanyahu respects Washington’s decision on the matter, a senior Israeli official told Channel 13 News.

The story of how Mahmoud Qadusa went from facing calls for his execution to possible release in just days shines light on biases Palestinian deal with in Israel’s justice system

By Jacob Magid, TOI

On Wednesday, Mahmoud Qadusa appeared at the Ofer Military Court for the first time since being indicted for the rape of a seven-year-old Israeli girl.

But in the court of public opinion, the 46-year-old Palestinian custodian had been convicted the moment police lifted the gag order over their investigation on Sunday evening.

The details of the alleged crime rattled the country and led to thousands of posts on social media. Soccer moms, senior ministers and many in between expressed outrage over the suspect’s capacity to drag a young girl across town against her will and rape her as two friends pinned her down and laughed.

US president said to have urged Tehran to come to the table, warning of impending military action over drone’s downing; Iranian officials say they conveyed matter to Khamenei

By AGENCIES and TOI STAFF

US President Donald Trump on Thursday night urged Iran to come to the table to hold talks in a message conveyed through Oman, and warned that a US strike against the Islamic Republic could be imminent, according to a report Friday morning.

“In his message, Trump said he was against any war with Iran and wanted to talk to Tehran about various issues… he gave a short period of time to get our response, but Iran’s immediate response was that it is up to Supreme Leader [Ali] Khamenei to decide about this issue,” an unnamed official told Reuters.

Vladimir Lenin said, “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

To understand a culture, one must look to its treatment of the children.  In Africa, for instance, there are countries such as Sudan, Libya, Mali, Chad, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Liberia, Mozambique and Uganda, where war profiteers use child soldiers to battle their government.  They may be recruited or kidnapped, some forced to kill family members so that they may never return to their homes.  Most are boys but as many as 40% may be girls who are also used as sex slaves for the military.  These are majority- or significantly-Muslim countries.

The “legislative blitz” which the coalition had planned prior to the calling of new elections, and which will almost certainly be on the government’s agenda following those elections, if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reelected, is intended to turn back the clock; to undo the “constitutional revolution” of the 1990s, which allowed the High Court of Justice to revoke those laws passed by the Knesset that are deemed by the court to be in contravention of Israel’s basic laws; to do away with the reasonableness standard in administrative decision making that the Supreme Court began to develop back in the 1950s; and to restrict judicial review to cases brought by those directly affected by the reviewed measures only. In other words, the new government might take Israel back 70 years, as a response to the “judicial activism” that has purportedly stripped the government and the Knesset of their ability to govern.

AOC is so very much like so many tens of thousands of young Americans who now receive an education that costs families $40,000-$60,000 per year and yet fails to teach how to think instead of spouting the false narratives they are taught.

“We cannot wait another generation to bring Zehut’s philosophy,” says party chairman.

By Orli Harari, INN

The chairman of the Zehut party, former Knesset member Moshe Feiglin, discussed on Thursday the possibility of running for the Knesset in a technical bloc with other right-wing parties.

“We cannot wait another generation to bring Zehut’s philosophy. The entire world already understands the idea of ??the free market, the idea of ??abundance, we have to bring it to Israel and we must bring it with force,” Feiglin said in a live broadcast on his Facebook page.

Feiglin added that in the last few days he was approached by parties that offered him reserved spots on their Knesset list, but rejected the offers. “I have been receiving very significant offers from all kinds of parties, receiving proposals that mean that my spot and perhaps the spot of another candidate from Zehut in the next Knesset is guaranteed.”
