Report: Hamas torturing 250 Eritreans in Egypt -... →
Wow, Hamas, I didn’t know this was possible but you became more horrible.
negevrockcity:
Holy crap, I just think we found the only way possible to make the Israeli-Palestine conflict even more screwed up. An Italian NGO is alleging that Hamas is kidnapping African refugees who are trying to sneak into Israel and then holding them for ransom.

"How Can You Defend Israel?" by David Harris →
thecookieateu:
“No, I’d never say Israel is perfect. It has its flaws and foibles. It’s made its share of mistakes. But, then again, so has every democratic, liberal and peace-seeking country I know, though few of them have faced existential challenges every day since their birth.”

Erekat: Boycott Settlements, not Israel →
Another thing to point out in my hate for the BDS movement. Why are Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria called “settlements” when Arab towns in “Israel proper” are not called settlements but Israeli towns?

What does recognizing Palestine mean? →
quidpropeace:
Danny Ayalon, Deputy Foreign Minister, likens the recognition of a Palestinian state as pressing the “like” button on Facebook:
“Irresponsible governments are quick to ‘like’ the Palestinian state without actually checking out its profile: an authority without sovereignty, with no borders or territorial continuity, no economic ability or democratic culture”
On a related note,...

On Israeli security... →
Both the arguments for and against Israeli air security badly miss the point. Israeli security is not based on racial profiling, although I have to admit that it is one factor. Its success is primarily due to the highly trained security officials from both El Al and Natbag’s security. Has anyone watched the TV show “Lie to Me?” Israeli security uses the same science: examining...

This Christmas in Bethlehem: Crosses Banned! →
“Qumsieh points out that from 2002 to 2010 the Christian population of Bethlehem has dropped from over 18 thousand to 11 thousand people. In Gaza, after Hamas came to power in 2006, Christians have fallen by about 3,200 units, from 5 thousand to less than 1800 in 2010.”

Israel made a deal with Wikileaks? →
The Arabs, having been ousted by Wikileaks as cooperating with Israel and being afraid of the same things Israel is, have turned to making up lies. Don’t be upset because you’ve been caught with your pants down!

Quid Pro Peace: Is Anti-Zionism & Anti-Semitism... →
quidpropeace:
Mr. Snyder of The Jewish Daily Forward recently had an excellent article of the resurgence of anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism: “Why Anti-Semitism is Growing in Germany”.
I was recently banned from my school, UC Irvine’s, Students for Justice in Palestine Group on Facebook for making this…
Really good analysis and it definitely made a very interesting read.

Israel's first Arab Israeli soldier speaks about... →
The difficult dilemma she felt in serving at a border crossing was not easy for her but she said during moments of difficulty and misgiving she would remember, “there was a Katyusha [rocket] that fell near my house and also hurt Arabs. If someone would tell me that serving in the IDF means killing Arabs, I remind them that Arabs also kill Arabs.”

Israel 21c reports:
Windows; ICQ (known today as AOL Chat); anti-virus software; cell phone technology - you name it and Israel has had a hand in the development, if not the outright invention, of many of the most important tech components of modern life. And Israel’s high-tech brain trust is still brimful of ideas. This may come as a surprise, but one of today’s newest,...

Abu Mazen did not want Gaza back
abszurdisztan:
A June 2009 diplomatic message cited Israel’s defense minister as asking Fatah before Israel’s January 2009 war in Gaza whether it wanted to assume control of the territory once Israel defeated Hamas.
Fatah rejected the offer, according to the memo from the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv. An Abbas aide denied there were any prewar consultations.

City signs Israeli midfielder Gai Assulin
Manchester City have won the race to sign the 19-year-old Israel midfielder Gai Assulin.
Assulin, who was available on a free transfer after leaving Barcelona in July, had been chased by several clubs but City moved first to secure him on a two and a half-year deal.
He said: “I had heard a lot about City and as soon as I saw the club I wanted to stay. I’m at a great club and I hope to be here a...

THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS: THIRD PARTY NATIONS... →
While they’re at it, why don’t they recognize the independent state of Chechnya, Catalonia, Basque, Turkish Kurdistan? [And so on…] WHY!? It’s the antisemitism stupid.
I don’t think that I’d so as far and say they are inherently anti-Semitic but you have to admit that it must be one of the reasons that at least one of the states are doing this.

Palestinians are the real obstacle to peace →
“The fundamental problem is that the Palestinians continue to reject these inherent rights of the Jewish people. That’s indeed why we do not yet have two states for two peoples: The Palestinians remain steadfast in their refusal to accept that there even exists a Jewish nation that lays legitimate claim to its land. They reject the entire premise of a state for the Jewish people...
