Is citing unproven rumors an appropriate professional way of reporting?

For a magazine that prides itself on journalistic standards, Editor & Publisher seems to throw those standards right out the window when Israel is the subject of their reporting.

A feature story in the October issue of E&P—the leading trade magazine of the U.S. news media industry—described the difficulties faced by some reporters covering the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. But the biggest difficulty with the article was its parroting of blatant anti-Israel falsehoods.

The Dutch did not save the Jews during the Holocaust, they betrayed them during the war and afterwards. Except for a very few, their actions toward Jews went from active hostility to indifference.

In memory of Dutch Jewish children  Beit Lochamei Hagetaor

We watched in horror as Israelis were viciously attacked in a pogrom in Amsterdam after attending the Maccabi TLV-Ajax soccer match. One is reminded (or should be informed if one does not know) of the Dutch response to the Jews when the Germans invaded the Netherlands on May 10, 1940.

Peloni: “decisive action against Iran and other regional threats…”

Israfan | November 12, 2024

In a bold statement Monday night, Israel’s newly appointed Defense Minister Israel Katz declared that the conditions for an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear program are now more favorable than ever. Citing both diplomatic and operational preparedness, Katz emphasized that the opportunity to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions has reached a realistic and achievable point, drawing from Israel’s proven capabilities demonstrated in recent counterattacks against Iranian forces.

Peloni:  The Arabs ethnically cleansed Arabia of its Jews after the Europeans killed two-thirds of the Jews of Europe.  How incredible is it that Europe remained silent about this fact, even as they were making faux claims of ‘Never Again’ to support the creation of international norms as a con in founding the most antisemitic organization on earth, the UN.  Now, after Europe saw fit to import millions of Arabs into their society, the Arabs are keen to ethnically cleanse Europe as well, and the Europeans appear quite ready to let them do so, just as the UN stands mute except to repeatedly and inexplicably condemn Israel, the only source of refuge, respite and support which the Jews of Europe can expect to hold firm.  This outrage, and the political silence which surrounds it, strikes both horror and clarity of the growing threats to Jews, and not just in Amsterdam.  While Nioh Berg correctly states for Jews to stay out of Amsterdam, the global assault on Jews across the world bares the reality that Amsterdam is not the only center of threat which is being raised against the Jewish people.  Is it really credible to think that what is taking place in Amsterdam will remain unique to Amsterdam.  While our hopes would have us believe the answer is yes, the international support and tolerance of attacks against Jews around the world leaves a far less hopeful reality.

Be extra careful in the work environment with those who like to maintain their position through charm and being political, rather than getting things done. They are very prone to envying and hating those who work hard and get results. They will slander and sabotage you without any warning. Robert Greene, author

That people on the political left have a certain set of opinions, just as people do in other parts of the ideological spectrum, is not surprising. What is surprising, however, is how often the opinions of those on the left are accompanied by hostility and even hatred. Thomas Sowell

Trump’s victory is the second in American history where a president skipped a term and was then reelected.  The first was Grover Cleveland in 1885 and 1893.  “Let’s put it over with Grover” was the rallying cry after four years of Benjamin Harrison.

If the basic story unfolding in Mar-a-Lago is to be believed, RFK JR, Elon Musk and a small group of technocrats and billionaires have become the ‘kitchen cabinet’ advisors putting the Trump administration together.  Rumors swirl that Melania Trump, Devin Nunes and Dan Scavino have checked out of the ridiculous “non-clown-car” hot mess until the dust settles.

Adding evidence to this possibility, the media are starting to report on some rather, well, shall we say, curious picks from the Mar-a-Lago transition group.

The real facts about how Jews voted in 2024.

 by Daniel Greenfield | November 12, 2024

Trump won the largest Jewish county in the country, the only entirely Jewish town and village, and some of the densest, fastest growing and most Jewish neighborhoods in America.

Borough Park, Brooklyn is the densest Jewish neighborhood in the country. Its two square miles contain nearly 100,000 Jewish people in 23,000 households. 83% are married and only 2% are divorced. 96% are members of synagogues. This was where large crowds protested pandemic lockdowns, tearing down playground fences and burning masks.

Peloni:  When Lawfare is your only lever on power, your opponent’s every act appears as legally actionable, and as the saying goes, ‘For my friends, everything, but for my enemies, the law.”  After literally decades of leaks, there seems an unhinged interest in this one leak, even as the knowledge of the head of Mosad previously leaking plans to attack Iran a decade ago are still ignored.  Disingenuous alarm seems to be the new reality so long as it supports the toppling of a government willing to prosecute the war against the will of the American establishment and their Leftist allies in Jerusalem.

Peloni:  Hazony discusses the consequence of a Trump victory and the future of nationalism.

Jonathan Feldstein

A pogrom is a premeditated, organized, violent riot with the aim of threatening, intimidating, and massacring Jews, made common in late 19^th and early 20^th century Russia and Eastern Europe. Last week, in the continent best known for a genocide against the Jewish people less than a century ago, that’s exactly what happened again.

It’s ironic that the latest pogrom took place in the country made famous by Anne Frank whose family was initially hidden, but then turned in by another antisemites, and Righteous Gentiles like Corrie Ten Boom who put their own lives on the line to protect Jews, Jews are once again being hunted, and not protected by the authorities.

It’s ironic that the latest pogrom happened the week of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi pogrom throughout Germany, an event that was not only threatening to Jews, but a test the rest of the world failed by not speaking up and stopping the Nazis then. As a result, the Nazis understood they could implement their “final solution”, and nobody would rise up to protect the Jews. The latest pogrom is a similar test for the future of Europe.

New Presidential Plan for 2025

 Armed Forces of America

Model One of Two

Developed by the Stand Up America US Foundation

Our dedicated team of seasoned military strategists and experts with a wealth of experience have crafted two models for the new President to consider when restructuring the Armed Forces of America.

Issues/Initiatives:

Eliminating the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a crucial step. This outdated structure provides no advanced command advisory capabilities to deal with current and future threats to America. It must be converted to a Command-driven military rather than an advisory/staff organization of the Armed Forces of America. This is not just critical; it’s urgent and cannot be ignored. Action will begin the week of January 20^th after the inauguration. This is necessary to ensure the safety and security of our nation and eliminate all domestic and foreign threats to America.

The man what done Soleimani is back!

Benjamin Kerstein, in his reflection on the Democratic Party’s defeat in the 2024 US Presidential election, observed that, “the Democrats thought they could appease the antisemites. What they could not or would not understand is that antisemitism cannot be appeased. It will accept nothing but genocide.” Kerstein is certainly correct. The implications of his insight go well beyond the autopsy currently underway over the corpse of Democratic electoral fantasies. If anti-Semitism, “will accept nothing but genocide,” then negotiation and compromise are irrelevant. Those who seek genocide will not stop until either they accomplish it, or they are, like the severed metallic hand of Terminator, or the putrid skeletal hand of a captive wight, destroyed utterly. The desire to kill all Jews on the conviction that they must all be killed is, of course, much older than the word anti-Semitism. For example, the idea is canonised in Islam’s notorious genocide hadith:

Peloni:  Bravo!  Arlene provides a masterful summary of the Amsterdam Pogrom from many directions.

Arlene Kushner, November 10, 2024

On Thursday night, there was a pogrom in Amsterdam. It was directed against some 3,000 Israelis who were in the city to cheer on the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team, which was playing against the Dutch team Ajax in a UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) Europa League match.
Masked assailants – Muslims, some shouting “Free Palestine” – brutally attacked the Israelis. It is the most serious attack – actually a series of attacks – on Jews since October 7 and is being called a pogrom because of its scope and virulence.
