Imagine how ANTI-ISRAEL she would want the UN to be?
As far as who can do Bibi's job - at the moment, no one, but Bibi would be gone one way or another eventually, and I have faith in Israel's democracy
Ashrawi: Not only should Britain apologize for the declaration and to immediately recognize a Palestinian state on the so-called 1967 borders, but Britain should compensate the Palestinians for their suffering.
Netanyahu is a politician, and for the past decade, he's been a very good one. His political instincts are what helps him accomplish his vision for Israel. His vision for Israel is a state where the Arabs are treated as equals and given all the same opportunities as Jews in a Jewish state.
Ironically, they cannot even pronounce the letter "P"
This J Street panel was a disgrace for a supposedly Jewish, supposedly pro-Israel organization that pretends to care about antisemitism.
They dominate the Forward's entire site; they dominate the NYT's editorial and news sections, JTA gives them plenty of coverage yet they claim they are not allowed to speak.
David Halbfinger of the New York Times wrote a veritable infomercial for J-Street in his story about their trip to Israel
Only when Palestinians understand that the world has changed and that they can no longer rely on automatic, reflexive support from their fellow Arabs can they even start to consider going back to the table with Israel.
I cannot even find an anecdote of Jews who somehow managed to sneak into Egypt, Syria or Lebanon, which is not proof it didn't happen...but if it did, it doesn't sound like it was anything close to these Arab countries sheltering European Jews.
Tlaib's words go beyond mere whitewashing these historic facts. She is not only claiming that Palestinians deserve credit for helping Jews after the Holocaust. She is also saying that Palestinians were Holocaust victims themselves, by giving up "their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence" for Jews to have a place to go.
Could it be that the softening of the Gulf Arab states towards Israel, and Trump's embrace of Israel's side in the Golan and elsewhere, is injecting some realpolitik into Lebanese thinking?
Too many groups forget that Jews have rights, too.
Tthe Dome of the Rock is ubiquitous in Palestinian political life today because the British thought they would get goodwill from the Arabs of Palestine if they helped repair the long-ignored site. Instead, it was used to fuel antisemitism and create Palestinian nationalism - which were, and remain, joined at the hip.
this statement includes an assertion that every member of the three major monotheistic faiths should have full access to their holy spaces in order to worship there. Which means that Jews have the full right not just to visit but even to pray at the Temple Mount, the holiest spot in Judaism.
Reporting on the fighting as if it is a traditional war plays into the hands of Hamas, since controlling the news cycle is not peripheral but essential in cognitive war. While the West may just be waking up to the importance of cognitive warfare, Israel has been fighting it for a long time
J-Street is stunningly hypocritical: It brags that it is the largest "pro-Israel lobby" in the US and that its money influences Congress!
At least 85% of those killed were terrorists. The mainstream media did not share this "trifling" fact
The Women's March is paying an antisemitic, anti-gay, anti-white, misogynist hate group - while at the same time pretending to adhere to Unity Principles that are against everything Nation of Islam stands for.
We should not minimize right-wing antisemitism. But too much of the news coverage in the wake of Pittsburgh has minimized all other forms of antisemitism. Muslims attacking Jews and blacks attacking Hasidim are "accepted" as, barely worth reporting.
The difference between the ADL report and the FBI Hate Crimes statistics is that the FBI only includes actual crimes, while the ADL counts "incidents" which is a much broader category.
the number of assaults against Jews - the most serious category the ADL tracks - went up dramatically when Obama was in office and has gone down significantly since Trump has been president.
Stop using this massacre as an excuse to pin this on ideological and political enemies. Every group has Jew-hatred associated with them in one way or another.
There has been mounting pressure in Jordan to not renew this lease, and multiple parties have banded together to pressure the government to end the agreement.
We at The Jewish Press Online wish Elder of Ziyon a hearty mazal tov on this well-deserved nomination for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize
The idea that the maps prove that Israel is gobbling land and making peace impossible is a pure falsehood.. The Obama map is a lie.
Did it never occur to these "experts" that Abbas was using his people as an excuse not to make peace, and that in fact the people want to end this useless situation already if only he would accept a couple more of Israel's security demands? I
The Palestinian problem with Christian Zionism is far deeper than a disagreement over "justice." It is doctrinal. Israel's very existence is a challenge to their entire belief system, which values hate for Israel and Jewish nationalism above the words of the Bible.
What is incredible is that some Arab governments are willing to go with an Israeli-ruled Jerusalem as part of a permanent peace agreement, and to tell the Palestinians to stop using it as a roadblock to peace.
For all we know, the disabled Abu Thuraya might have chosen to be "martyred" by his fellow Hamas members in order to elicit exactly this sort of reaction from the UN and world media.
Turkey intends to open an embassy in East Jerusalem. Even though all the arguments against the Trump declaration apply even more so to the Erdogan declaration--silence. The Europeans who stumbled over themselves to condemn Trump are silent on Erdogan. The UN and NGOs aren't saying anything.
Palestinians think there's a slippery slope between losing a cent of UNRWA benefits and the benefits disappearing altogether. in other words, Pals would have the same definition of refugee applied to them as the 50 million real refugees in the world today.
If Abbas is indeed correct, let the Palestinians cross the Jordan going east--and stay there.
Newspapers, especially prominent papers like the Times, have style sheets and guides on consistent use of phrases. It's likely this phrase was kept in its reporting with an editor having made a clear decision to allow it
The definition of CHUTZPAH: The EU trying to steal as much land in Area C as it can to give to Palestinians and wanting to sue Israel to be compensated for its (the EU's) illegal actions
The list of funders to PCHR is impressive including the European Union, numerous individual European countries, George Soros' Open Society Foundations, Christian Aid (UK), Oxfam, Trocaire, and many others. All of these funders and nations are indirectly supporting financial incentives for murdering Jews.
The latest stunning finds from excavations at the City of David...
The Times never never told Palestinians that they weren't ready, or to wait some more until things get more peaceful nor gave Israel veto power over a Palestinian state the way it gives Iraq and Turkey that power over Kurdistan.
The hypocrisy of Abbas: Evidently in Spain it is a "ram" while in Israel it is legitimate resistance.
All the study proved is Sidon was never destroyed and today's Lebanese descended from ancient Phoenicians--which everyone pretty much knew already. The DNA tests actually proved the Biblical account
Palestinians are completely defined by honor and shame. They are walking bundles of shame waiting for events to attach these "Days of Rage" to - because they want excuses to turn their shame into honor
After decades of being able to attack Israel with no opposition, the PLO has no idea how to handle someone like Haley who actually announces the fact that the Palestinian emperor has no clothes
Yes, Arabs in Israel are reluctant to compete because of - Arab racism. A topic that Haaretz wouldn't dare think to be worth exploring.
There is value in Jewish culture, don't get me wrong. And there is great value in changing diaspora Jewish culture to be more in line with Israeli culture. But it is not the key to Jewish survival. What is?
Gal Gadot is the hot topic on many fronts-including anti-Israel sites
Palestinian Muslims, who obsessively and meticulously count this, say that 2649 "settlers" (plus police/security officials to protect them) "stormed the Al Aqsa Mosque" during the ENTIRE month of May.
Problems with Obamacare or the new Republican coverage plan? That ain't nothing compared to Israel's plan for Arabs and terrorists.
These "rabbis" don't give a damn about the facts of the case. They will support their anti-Israel friend no matter what, even if that means supporting a terrorist who killed Jews
Mahmoud Abbas shamelessly lied to the President of the United States in front of the entire world.
Calls to apologize for Balfour have been spreading since the 99th anniversary of the document, and even Mahmoud Abbas has been publicly insisting on an apology. Britain responded with a resounding no.
Anyone who accepts the lie that Odeh was innocent of her role in a 1969 supermarket bombing is nothing but an anti-Semite who will bend over backwards to justify the deaths of innocent Jews in Israel.
Incitement doesn't radicalize every young person who hears it, but it does plant the idea of killing Jews as an obligation on some people and 'magically' turning these murderers into 'heroes.'
UNESCO chief Irina Bokova, who received death threats for denouncing the resolution denying the Jewish/Jerusalem connection, is stepping down. 4 Arabs are on the shortlist of 9 to replace her.
These Arabs complaining that Syrians who are desperate to save thousands of lives and are willing to ask anyone for help, including Israel, are "conspirators" with Israel and "traitors" to Syria.
With Trump's election, Americans will inevitably view the Middle East , and specifically Israel, differently because no one that shares Obama's worldview will remain in the White House.
What is undeniable is that Trump's campaign was genius, and the genius was his, not his advisers or handlers. The question is, what will he actually do as President?
The lack of mentioning any Jewish (or Christian) connection to the Temple Mount, and the refusal to use any other name but the Muslim names for the site, are clearly deliberate.
Hamas prioritizes weapons replenishment over getting Gazans electricity and much needed goods. Does the average Gazan share those priorities? Why isn't Hamas smuggling in things that Gazans need?
The UNRWA Commissioner-General begging for more $ perpetuates, rather than solves, statelessness, is self-serving and continues blaming Israel rather than the true culprits: itself and Arab leaders.
Today is the 15th anniversary of the infamous Sbarro pizza shop bombing, masterminded by Ahlam Tamimi.
The "Palestine Return Center" started a petition to the UK Parliament to apologize for Balfour and compensate all Arabs of Palestinian descent, likening the "nakba" with the Holocaust.
The word "historic" to refer to pre-1967 could easily be used to claim that any Jewish presence in the Old City is a violation of the 1948-1967 status when Jordan ensured the Old City was Jew-free
People who find BDS terrible, effectively engage in BDS themselves by avoiding visiting the incredible, and very Zionist, accomplishments of Ariel and Ariel University.
The Palestinians threaten that if they don't get what they demand, even if that demand - Jerusalem - has no basis in international law, they will make the world will suffer the consequences.
Since it is the two year anniversary of the Mavi Marmara incident, it is reasonable to remind people: IDF soldiers were shot on board the ship, and the IHH terrorists shot first.
State Department spokesman John Kirby, spoke surreally about the vicious libel by Abbas but didn't come close to condemning it.
If they are Palestinian and live in what the UN and their leaders call the State of Palestine, where exactly are they refugees from?
Resettlement? No one is calling for Palestinians to be resettled! But if they are refugees, shouldn't they be included in the massive worldwide push to resettle refugees? Why aren't they?

The Fatah Facebook page incites readers to kill random Israeli civilians. But don't call that terror
Lerner took Bibi's words out of context, as if Bibi is trying to justify murdering all Palestinians
Meitner is a sickening piece of trash who cannot condemn the Henkin murders without a caveat
This year it is hard to concentrate on anything but Iran building nuclear weapons to destroy Israel
To Amnesty International bashing Israel's far more important than small details like truth&accuracy
"While neither leader(Obama/Bibi) monopolized mistakes, only 1 leader made them deliberately(Obama)"
The contrast between a Dem pretending to love Israel & a Dem who truly loves Israel is CRYSTAL CLEAR
The UNHRC chose Schabas because of his well-known attitudes towards Israel, not in spite of them!
There is no question whatsoever that Odeh was behind the fatal bombing of a SuperSol market in 1969
Beware of the "creative license" reporters and spokespeople take to claim maximal harm to Gazans by Israel.
Pope asked to dine with poor families, but church leaders instead use locals as props to slam Israel!
Elder of Ziyon shows that Abbas is cynically using the Holocaust as a way to say that Jews are doing to Palestinian Arabs the same "injustice" and "oppression" that Jews suffered under Nazis.
Visa has ads in an Egyptian magazine in which a story describes Jews as vampires. And worse.
A Hillel student spoke against the anti-Israel resolution, but also called Israeli actions "shameful."
