Criticizing Israel has become a permanent obsession  

The Jewish state is being persecuted worldwide by an international community fixated on making it look as bad as possible.

By Alan Baker, JCPA

(JNS) The penchant for criticizing Israel, whatever it may or may not do, appears to have become a permanent fixation. Whether such criticism relates to Israel’s internal policies, governance of the territories and responses to terror attacks, or situations with no apparent linkage to Israel, the obsession with Israel and its alleged malfeasances inevitably emerges.

No such fixation exists in regard to any other country. The obsessives single out Israel as a butt of criticism for any and every reason. It appears to be an ingrained component of the psyche of those who revel in it and seek out every opportunity to denigrate and delegitimize the Jewish state.

Antisemitic incidents in US surged, ‘shocking’ increase in violence against Jews  

GELLER

American Jewish leaders refuse to confront the pro-Palestinian Left, out of fear being ostracized from the Democrat Democrat Party as “islamophobes” which tells you everything about the left and their jihadic allies. This is the result. Today, the pro-Palestinian Left is making life for American Jews unsafe. Most especially on college campuses. A strong Jewish civil rights organization is urgently needed in America. An organization that will not cower to the Left.

Toronto Police: Jews most targeted in city’s hate crimes in 2021  

T. Belman. Unfortunately they never report on who the perpetrators are? Who might that be?

Noah Shack, Vice President, GTA at the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), said: “We are concerned to see how severely hate crime is impacting Toronto’s Jewish, Black, East and Southeast Asian, and LGBTQ2S+ communities”.  What the f..k!  Rather than point out who is responsible for the attacks or that Jews were in a class by themselves as the targeted group, he came out with a statement deploring hate of any group.

Jews constitute 3.8% of the population of Toronto, but make up 22% of hate crime victims.

>

A new report by the Toronto Police Service (TPS) on local hate crimes in 2021 shows the city’s Jewish community remains the most targeted group amid a disturbing surge in such crimes. In its annual report of hate-motivated verbal threats, physical assaults and vandalism, the TPS said Jews were the most victimized group last year, experiencing 22 percent of all cases reported to police despite constituting just 3.8 percent of the population of Toronto..

Ramadan: A Time to Celebrate Murder, Bloodshed, and Slavery?  

By Raymond Ibrahim   Apr 27/22

During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast, pray, engage in acts of piety and charity, and reminisce over warfare and bloodshed in the name of Islam.

Virtually every Ramadan features various Islamic authorities, personages, and/or institutes reminding Muslims to take pride in and celebrate various historic battles between Muslims and non-Muslims, or “infidels” (as in this hour long televised special). Among other things, such victories are meant to demonstrate the power, and thus truth, of Islam.

Russia’s war in Ukraine jolts Iran, Syria and Middle East security   

by Dr. Eric R. Mandel, THE HILL 

Russia’s war in Ukraine has serious repercussions for the Middle East — affecting, in particular, Iranian entrenchment in Syria and regional security for Israel and the United States.

In 2015, Iran’s Qassem Soleimani, then general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, flew to Moscow to meet with Kremlin officials just weeks after the conclusion of the original Iran nuclear agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The goal was to change the course of Syria’s civil war, which looked bleak for their ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The meeting “forged a new Iranian-Russian alliance in support of Assad,” turning the course of the war in their favor. The successful outcome allowed Iran to move with confidence toward its primary objective: creating a vassal state in Syria, as it had in Lebanon with Hezbollah.

The Left’s War on Childhood  

By Daniel Greenfield

From Greta Thunberg to children put on puberty blockers, the victims of the war on childhood are everywhere. They show up at environmental or gun control rallies holding up giant signs in their little hands, they’re indoctrinated at school to enlist as child soldiers for the latest cause.

Adults tell them that unless they save the world, they won’t even live long enough to grow up.

Zelensky the Jewish Hero  

by Ruth R. Wisse, COMMENTARY, May 2022

‘In the year 1648, the wicked Ukrainian hetman, Bogdan Chmelnicki, and his followers… spread havoc in Tomaszow, Bilgoraj, Krasnik, Turbin, Frampol—and in Goray, too….They slaughtered on every hand, flayed men alive, murdered small children, violated women and afterward ripped open their bellies and sewed cats inside. Many fled to Lublin, many underwent baptism or were sold into slavery. Goray, which once had been known for its scholars and men of accomplishment, was completely deserted.”

Al-Aqsa Is Not Now, and Never Was, ‘Under Threat’ From Israel  

What the British used to call “the vivid oriental imagination” is at work.

By Hugh Fitzgerald, FPM Apr 28/22

Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Palestinian Authority all agree: Al-Aqsa Mosque has recently been “under threat” because those wild-eyed Israeli “settlers” – madmen all – were about to engage in the ritual slaughter of a lamb on top of the Temple Mount, as part of a diabolical effort to take over Al-Aqsa, bit by bit, and convert it to a synagogue. Those Palestinians, and especially the terrorists among them, have a rich fantasy life, what the British in the Middle East used to drily call “the vivid oriental imagination.”

A report by Nadav Shragai on the Palestinians exploiting the Temple Mount conflict as an excuse for another war with Israel can be found here: “Al-Aqsa Mosque is by no means under threat,” by Nadav Shragai, Israel Hayom, April 17, 2022:

Filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza believes that evidence presented in his new documentary, “2000 Mules,” proves that large-scale, illegal vote trafficking occurred in the 2020 election.

D’Souza told The Epoch Times: “2000 Mules will settle the issue beyond a shadow of a doubt by using two powerful, independent modes of investigation. The evidence is so conclusive, so decisive, that it leaves nothing to argue about.”

2022 Jewish demographic momentum in Israel  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative”

April 27, 2022,

In 2021, the number of Israel’s Jewish births was 141,250 – 76% higher than 1995 (80,400), compared to 43,806 Arab births – 20% higher than 1995 (36,500).

In 2021, Jewish births were 76% of total births, compared to 69% in 1995. The surge of Jewish births has taken place due to the unprecedented rise of births (since 1995) in the secular sector, simultaneously with a rising level of education, income and wedding age and expanded urbanization. Since 1995, Israel’s ultra-orthodox sector has experienced a mild decrease of fertility.

JORDAN: PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE: The Jordan Option Revisited  

ZOOM WEBINAR

MAY 8, 2022, 7:00 PM Israel Time and 12:00 PM EST

JORDAN: PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE: The Jordan Option Revisited

The Jordan Option has been touted for 20 years but gained no traction. Essentially it embraces the idea that Jordan should be seen as the Palestinian state.  The primary reason was the resistance to the idea by the Hashemites.

Mudar Zahran, Secretary General of the Jordan Opposition Coalition together with Ted Belman, Editor of ISRAPUNDIT, held a conference at the Begin Centre in Jerusalem on Oct 17, 2017 which justified the rationale behind Jordan being the Palestinian State and based success of the Option by calling for the end of the Hashemite Control of Jordan and announcing that Mudar Zahran was ready, willing and able to serve as President of Jordan.

Here we are, 5 years later, on the cusp of success.  Register for the Webinar and find out why.
