LA Times Op-Ed Calls For Dismantlement of Jewish State

From CAMERA:

In the past, the Los Angeles Times marked Israel's birthday with an Op-Ed calling for its dismantlement via the so-called "one-state solution." The paper didn't bother to wait for the spring anniversary of the Jewish state's founding, presenting its readers yesterday with another call for a "one-state solution." Jonathan Kuttab's Dec. 20, 2009 Op-Ed ("Steps to Create Israel-Palestine"), like earlier pieces by Saree Makdisi (here and here) and Tony Judt which called for the destruction of the Jewish state, rests on a number of basic factual errors and faulty assumptions...Continue Reading

Victoria Brittain’s Dec. 9 column in the Guardian has all the elements that typify the newspaper’s simplistic, distorted accounts of the Arab-Israeli conflict. There are the innocent Palestinian victims and aggressive Israeli culprits; the falsehoods; the failure to consider any Palestinian responsibility for their state of affairs; and the brazen omission of information essential for understanding the situation...Gaza’s Blue Baby Syndrome and Brittain’s Bad Blood


FrontPageMag:

Even with Iraq safely in American hands, the other members of the Axis of Evil – Iran and North Korea – are still hard at work. And the threat they pose to the West may be greater than ever.

For all the concern about Iran’s drive for nuclear weapons, the Islamic Republic’s past support of military proxies makes it clear that a direct attack on America or Israel is not necessarily the most likely threat posed by the regime. Along with North Korea, Iran is part of a thriving international arms smuggling network, one that seeks to destabilize America and her allies while minimizing the risk of direct retaliation...No End to Evil


Jamie Glazov interviews Pamela Geller

Excerpt:

FP: What are your thoughts on this international cultural acceptance of Islamic anti-Semitism and simultaneous demonization of Israel?

Geller: The demonization of Israel is Jew hatred. On many levels, what is happening today is more dangerous than Nazism in the sense that Nazism was perpetrated covertly. What we are witnessing today is done overtly: anti-Zionism is a modern variation on an age-old hatred. The Nazis hid the extermination. Work camps were death camps but no one knew what was really going on behind those walls until the Nazis were defeated. Today the haters take to the streets and engage in death to Jews, death to Israel demonstrations across Europe and America. They dance and pass out sweets in the Muslim street when Jews are murdered. What’s so disturbing is that it is being done now under the aegis of the UN...Collaborators in England in the War Against the Jews


The recent Swiss vote to ban minarets was seen by many as a further indication that European populations are waking up to the threat of Europe’s Islamization and the need to stop the trend. If so, the European Union—the centralized bureaucracy that, as documented in Bat Ye’or’s important book Eurabia, went “over the heads” of European publics to meld the European and Arab/Muslim civilizations in the first place—still hasn’t caught up and remains locked in a pro-Arab/Muslim disposition...Eurabia vs. Israel on Jerusalem

Smearing Jews on British TV

The level and extent of global anti-Semitism never ceases to amaze me.

From Pajamas Media:

I am glad a bout of bronchitis felled me for a week because it allowed me time to gather the fallout from a scurrilous November 16 documentary produced by Britain’s Channel Four television, Inside Britain’s Israel Lobby.

From the moment narrator-producer Peter Oborne came on screen, I knew this was going to be one of those “lemme tell you about the Jooze” exposes in which every prominent Anglo-Jew is wheeled out as an example of the disloyalty and double allegiance of folks who support the survival of the state of Israel. Yes, I know there was the Larry Franklin case in which it was proven that a Washington insider was also double-crossing his nation and passing data to the Israeli embassy. I know there is Jonathan Pollard in jail for life for betraying the United States. Yes, there are bad Jews like Madoff and Maxwell and Levitt and Milken and hated Jews like Dick Fuld. So now that I have gotten the rotten apples out of the way, let’s talk about a nasty Channel Four show that seems to imply that the British government is being subverted by a very large gang in an endless parade of rich Jews determined to bully all of Britain into supporting Israel or else...Continue Reading


From CAMERA:

"Letter from Gaza - Captives"( New Yorker, Nov. 9, 2009) by Lawrence Wright, the acclaimed author of The Looming Tower; Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, promised to be a penetrating piece. It starts out strongly with an informative and captivating description of the evolution of the conflict in Gaza, but Wright's reliance on biased sources becomes increasingly apparent with each successive factual misstep. His journalistic insight flags entirely towards the end of the piece when he resorts to reciting dubious figures for Palestinian civilian casualties and destroyed civilian structures provided by biased sources...New Yorker's Lawrence Wright Proffers Palestinian Narrative
