OAG Investigation Found Betar Engaged in Bias-Motivated Assaults, Threats, and Harassment Targeting Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and Jewish New Yorkers
Queens Palestinian Protest and the Anti-Semitism Scare | Tikun Olam |
Even so-called progressive Democrats fell all over themselves to criticize the Palestinian protest. Their response indicates they'd fallen under the spell of the Lobby:
This tweet from an Arab-American NYC council member is a betrayal-especially troubling for not only falsely accusing the Pal-Awda protest of being anti-Semitic, but linking it to the Mississippi synagogue arson. These events have nothing to do with each other and should never be linked. One event involved people protesting, another involved burning a synagogue to the ground. They are not equivalent.
Lost in the debate and news coverage, was that many of the pro-Palestine demonstrators were ultra-Orthodox Jews (on the right side of the image below). They are anti-Zionist. Not anti-Semitic. Nor was the rally.
Further, none of tweets acknowledge that there was a group of pro-Israel counter-demonstrators, one of whom brandished a Kahane banner (see video). So who were the terrorists here?
The Biblical Call for Genocide in public places ...
The infamous Amalek verse from Deuteronomy, in Dutch and in Hebrew, in The Hague.
If Israel's critics had bothered to check, they would have found the same verse at the entrance of Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem.
The Gaza Genocide as Ideological Performance | Substack Maarten Broudy |
During a public address in October 2023, as Israel was preparing to launch its ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu quoted a verse from the Bible that would echo through countless NGO reports, and would feature prominently in South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague: "Remember what Amalek has done to you." To those uninitiated in Biblical mythology, the phrase may not sound particularly ominous, but Israel's critics knew better. In the Bible, the people of Amalek are the ancient foes of the Israelites, and in the book of Samuel, Yahweh commands King Saul to "smite" the Amalekites, leaving no one alive--not even women and children.

Trump said to tell Iran he's not about to attack, as US returns troops to Qatar air base | TOI |
Four Arab countries reportedly convinced president to walk back plans to strike Iran, as envoy for Islamic Republic says Trump informed Tehran he's not interested in war and urged restraint
Iran's Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam said in remarks during a Thursday visit to a Pakistani ministry that Trump had informed Tehran that he does not want a war and urged the regime to exercise restraint and not target US assets in the region.
The US did, however, offer similarly de-escalatory messaging last June before Trump ordered a major strike on three of Iran's nuclear sites.
But a senior Saudi official and a second Gulf official indicated that the same strategy is not being applied this time, as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Egypt led efforts to talk Trump out of an attack on Iran.
The four countries "led a long, frantic, diplomatic last-minute effort to convince President Trump to give Iran a chance to show good intentions," the Saudi official said on condition of anonymity.
The US moved some personnel out of the Al Udeid air base in Qatar on Wednesday, and staff at US missions in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were warned to exercise caution as fears mounted of a US attack over Iran's crackdown on protesters.
But by Thursday, the security warning level at the base in Qatar was lowered back down, three sources briefed on the situation told Reuters. US aircraft that were moved out of Al Udeid are gradually returning to the base, one of the sources added.
