It’s a real comment on Western self-awareness that numerous intellectuals have come to hate the same people as their grandparents did, and seem to earnestly believe it’s a coincidencehttps://t.co/S1MXiDYQbr

"On the other hand if the goal was to perpetuate the Korean War one would have created an org like UNRWA and established camps that grow endlessly to fuel a new generation of fighters. They would be radicalized in class rooms told they would return soon and would have shown them photos of the united Korean Peninsula and sent them to summer training camps to train for the one state solution from the sea to the sea."

UNKRA, having done its job, closed down in 1958.

UNRWA was established in 1949 to deal with both Jewish and Palestinian Arab refugees. The Israeli government took over the responsibilty for Jewish refugees in 1952. The Palestinian Arabs have never taken over responsibility and by now, 75 years after the founding of the state of Israel, it's clear that they never will unless forced to do so. UNRWA perpetuates the refugee status of the Palestinians and their demands to return to their "homeland" in Israel – unlike all the other great ethnic cleansings of the last century, where the refugees have long since been absorbed into their new homes and got on with their lives. 

UNRWA is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Oh boy.

"…the Zionist entity, which is well known to be prolifically based in London…and this is one of the venues that likes to host the Zionist entity and those who are complicit in the genocide against the Palestinians…"

As has been said often enough already: the Democrats have left an open goal for Trump by aligning themselves with gender woo.

Harvard prof finds that using "Latinx" causes Hispanics to shift their votes to Trump.

Concludes that "gender-inclusive language" is nonetheless important and recommends "political education" in order to get Hispanics to support superfluous neologisms.

ecurity industries”.

But then so, apparently, do companies such as the chip manufacturer Nvidia and Alphabet, Google’s parent company. By this standard pretty much anyone who uses the internet is “linked” to Israeli “genocide” and anyone with shares in any stock market tracker fund is doubtless doubly implicated.

It is of course, in that over-worked but useful phrase, virtue-signaling – a vice to which the literary world seems particularly prone.

From the JC:

UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), a legal advocacy group, has accused the letter circulated by Fossil Free Books (FFB) of being “plainly discriminatory against Israelis”, citing the UK Equality Act 2010 and other discriminatory legislation from around the world.

In a letter to the Publishers Association, Jonathan Turner, Chief Executive of UKLFI, said: “This boycott is plainly discriminatory against Israelis. The authors do not impose similar conditions on publishers, festivals, literary agencies or publications of any other nationality.

“The boycott is also contrary to laws prohibiting discrimination on grounds of nationality in many other countries around the world… most US States have adopted legislation providing for sanctions against participants in boycotts targeting Israel.”

He also said the letter made false allegations about Israel, such as accusing the country of genocide, despite the former president of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) clarifying in a BBC interview that the court did not decide that there was a plausible case of genocide on the part of Israel, as had been incorrectly reported in some media.

The letter also puts the Palestinian death toll at 43,362 without saying that the figure comes from the Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza, whose data, Turner says, “has been shown to be fabricated and manipulated”.

srael.” Iran is presented not as the financier and puppet-master of Hamas and Hizballah terrorists, which it is, but as a third party merely showing solidarity with Lebanon after Israel attacked for no reason whatsoever.

Of the Iranian missile attack – the largest barrage of ballistic missiles in history – the BBC is at pains to point out that “Most were intercepted”. But Israel, it seems, decided to target Iran for no good reason anyway.

This is how the BBC understands this war.

Our polling shows, year after year, that British Jews believe that media bias against Israel fuels antisemitism.

When the Jewish state is falsely portrayed, as in this BBC report, as needlessly aggressive and the methods and motivations of its enemies are whitewashed, it invites viewers to view Jews negatively and gives licence to antisemites to attack them.

In this surge of antisemitism in Britain, the BBC is not innocent.

We will be writing to the BBC.

It's possible that rarely in history has an institution produced so much extremism and support for war and violence and massacre as the institutions of UNRWA. They have served as an indoctrination center that destroyed generations and sent generations towards extremism rather than peace.

If the intl community had investigated this and mandated peace as a curriculum, we could have had peace and hope in the region. But the intl community failed and Hamas took over and Hamas was backed by Doha-Ankara-Moscow-Tehran.

It's awful and it's hard to disentangle this disaster and the terrible institution that has covered for Hamas and extremism and intolerance for so long.

The demented antisemitic fantasy world in which Russian propagandists dwell – from the country that brought us The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. At MEMRI TV:

On October 20, 2024, former Russian diplomat Viacheslav Matuzov appeared on Mayadeen TV (Lebanon), where he discussed connections that he discerned between the conflicts in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria, and Russia's war in Ukraine. He claimed that these conflicts are part of a broader agenda he described as “one expansionist enterprise,” suggesting that Israel is heavily involved in the Ukrainian conflict. Matuzov alleged that 80% to 100% of Ukrainian parliament members hold Israeli passports and stated that millions of Jews from Europe and America are prepared to move to Ukraine to build a “second Israel” there, citing the country’s natural resources and wealth as motivations for this relocation.

eal risks involved, Chinese fishing boats continue to ply North Korean waters with little hesitation.

Moreover, because some Chinese boats take on unlicensed crews to avoid paying the 7,000 yuan annual insurance premiums to the state, owners often do not report North Korean seizures of their boats when they occur, the source said.

“Even in the past, North Korean patrol boats often intercepted Chinese boats, but nowadays they do so much more frequently and with greater force,” the source said. “North Korean patrol boats seem to be cracking down more openly on Chinese boats as relations between China and North Korea deteriorate.”

Perhaps North Koreans feels emboldened to snub the Chinese now that they're best friends with Putin, sending troops and weapons to Ukraine. It could well be a move they'll come to regret.
