Do Jews hate Arabs? Do religious Jews raise their children to hate non-Jews? As an observant Jew who also merited to spend years learning in higher academies of Jewish learning, I have some surprising insights for the diehard anti’s of the world. We don’t share your hatred or your bigotry. Come learn more!
For the longest time I’ve listened to conversation of the deaf between the liberal Israeli Left and the Muslim world. It was so obvious to me that both sides were talking a different language, albiet using English words. I recently read an essay by Dror Eydar in Israel Hayom. Talk about an apology to Turkey comes under the category of a rational Western debate. In fact, in a liberal debate, an apology is perceived...
Postwar Jewish refugees left everything they had in Europe—no ‘right of return’ requested. There are some articles that are so to-the-point that I feel I have no choice but to add them to my personal little collection of intellectual gems. Secretly I’ll admit that I’m envious. I wish I had written them. Warren Koxzak’s article, “If the Jews had followed the Palestinian Path” is definitely one of them. Originally published in the online edition of the Wall Street...
Here are Moshe Aylon’s remarks as published by Haaretz: “There is no doubt that there is a political and diplomatic earthquake taking place in the Arab states and perhaps also Iran, and what is clear is that it is not tied to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Obama’s speech is negative in this context because it brings back the claim that there is a connection.” It is fascinating to see how fixated the American administration is...
There comes a time when the issues become so clear, so unambiguous that men (and women) of principle have no choice but to publicly state their position on questions of the hour. To do otherwise only assists the perpetration of a travesty of justice and mocks all the values we purport to live by. What about you?
There is an anecdote about an Israeli driver who accidentally hits a sheep belonging to an Arab. The driver gets out and offers to pay for the sheep. The Arab refuses. The driver offers to pay for five sheep, for ten sheep. The Arab still refuses. “What do you want?” the frustrated driver asks. “I want that sheep,” the Arab says, pointing to the dead sheep. That is the Nakba in a nutshell. The...
Needed Palestinian Self-Criticism If the Palestinians and the Arab countries had accepted the partition plan, the Arab state of Falastin would have been established in 1948 and there would have been no refugee problem. It was not the establishment of the State of Israel that created the refugee problem, but rather the fact that the Arabs went to war against the establishment of a Jewish state in part of Palestine. Israelis seeking reconciliation may...
] Every other Wednesday, except for festivals and High Holy-days, an anti-Zionist group called ASHamed Jews meets in an upstairs room in the Groucho Club in Soho to dissociate itself from Israel, urge the boycotting of Israeli goods, and otherwise demonstrate a humanity...
The 14 Lies Blocking Peace in the Middle East By: Steven Plaut Israel’s enemies around the world have poisoned the debate with their smoke and mirrors. If a Martian were suddenly to land on earth and start listening to and reading the mainstream media, he would form the impression that the entire Middle East conflict were due to Israel building some settlements...
Dear Annie, As a long time...
“All we want is an open border crossing,” Abu Zuhri said. “Instead of making these threats against the Palestinian people, he (Aboul Gheit) should voice his anger against the Israeli occupation, which is what is closing the border crossings between Gaza and Egypt.” Can some one explain to me how Israel is the reason Egypt is closing its border with Gaza?
