Amnesty Water Report Waterboards the Truth

From CAMERA:

Amnesty International has issued a report, Troubled Waters Palestinians denied fair access to water, which condemns Israel’s supposed denial of water to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. According to Donatella Rovera, Amnesty’s researcher in the region and the lead author of the report:

Israel allows the Palestinians access to only a fraction of the shared water resources, which lie mostly in the occupied West Bank, while the unlawful Israeli settlements there receive virtually unlimited supplies. In Gaza the Israeli blockade has made an already dire situation worse.

Amnesty portrays Rovera’s work as a “new extensive report” in which Amnesty International “revealed the extent to which Israel’s discriminatory water policies and practices are denying Palestinians their right to access to water.”...Continue Reading


What's the deal with the organization known as J Street?

From American Thinker:

J Street and Judge Goldstone: the plot thickens


From FrontPageMag:

While covering J-Street’s first annual national conference over the last three days, I think I recognized one of 1,000-plus attendees from television. Proudly wearing a Code Pink t-shirt, the woman was handing out cards advertising a December 31 march to “break the illegal Gaza siege.” If I am right in my recollection, I remember watching her being removed by Capitol Hill police officers with her Code Pink compatriots for protesting some congressional hearing I was watching on C-Span. She may not have been welcome on Capitol Hill, but she sure seemed in her element at J-Street...J-Street Exposed

**********

“To say that you have to love Israel or be pro-Israel to be part of J Street is a terrible mistake.”

Thus Judith Baker of the fringe-left Brit Tzedek v’Shalom (its English moniker is Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace), recently incorporated into J Street, told a reporter at the J Street conference on Tuesday. Indeed, “peace or Israel” seems to be the question. It’s also reported that “J Street’s university arm has dropped the ‘pro-Israel’ part of the left-wing US lobby’s ‘pro-Israel, pro-peace’ slogan to avoid alienating students.”

As a student involved with J Street explains, “We don’t want to isolate people because they don’t feel quite so comfortable with ‘pro-Israel,’ so we say ‘pro-peace,’ but behind that is ‘pro-Israel.’” ...J Street Dreams, Israeli Reality

Friends of radically pro-Palestinian Sabeel, which is headed by a Jerusalem-based Anglican clergy, hosted a recent conference in Washington, D.C. for U.S. church supporters, where the crowd loudly applauded the suggestion that Israel be dissolved as a Jewish state. Others decried Israel, and the United States, as “genocidal.” Speakers included United Methodist missions official David Wildman and Roman Catholic radical feminist theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether....Continue Reading

Something astonishing, even alarming, is taking place in the battle over the future of Jerusalem. Even as Palestinian rioters run amok on the Temple Mount, egged on by the radicals of the Islamic Movement, much of the anger and dismay in the Israeli and international press is being directed, ironically enough, at Jews who merely wish to visit the site...Fundamentally Freund: Dare to dream of a rebuilt Temple

Presbyterian Peacemakers Promote Hezbollah Website and Anti-Israel Incitement

The Israel/Palestine Mission Network of the Presbyterian Church (USA), is promoting anti-Israel incitement from a number of different sources, including Al Manar, a Hezbollah-controlled television station which was designated as a “Global Terrorist Entity” by the U.S. Department of Treasury in 2006. The Israel/Palestine Mission Network (IPMN) was established by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 2004.

In addition to mainstreaming Hezbollah's Al Manar to Presbyterians and to the general public, the IPMN is also promoting false allegations about Israel tunneling beneath the Temple Mount – allegations which in the past have incited violence. The IPMN is also relaying a false report of Palestinians attacking right-wing Jews who had entered the Temple Mount to pray the day before Yom Kippur. In fact, Palestinians had attacked non-Jewish French tourists...read more

No recent media infraction captures the dangers of abandoning any semblance of journalistic standards as vividly as the August 17, 2009 Aftonbladet story alleging Israel plunders and trafficks Palestinian organs. Appearing in its Culture section, the account was a concoction of baseless charges, false statements and guilt-by-association conspiracy theory, weaving disconnected events from past and present. Within weeks, the claims metastisized in Middle East media into lurid variations on the old blood libel of Jews plundering organs and drinking the blood of non-Jews. Incendiary cartoons and fantastic stories of Jewish child-snatching appeared...Sweden's Aftonbladet Spreads Libels, Bigotry

United Nations inspectors aren’t scheduled to visit Iran’s recently revealed uranium enrichment plant in Qom until October 25, but longtime observers already are worried about what they’ll find on arrival: nothing. With nearly a month to go before the inspection date, Iran will have more than enough time to remove all compromising evidence from the nuclear facility – and with it the possibility that it will be held to account for its rogue drive for a nuclear arsenal...Iran’s Great Deception

Israel 1967 Through 1991 - High Noon for Israel

The years from 1967 through 1991 were a turbulent period in the Middle East reaching from the end of the Six Day War in 1967 through the beginning of the Oslo Peace Process in 1991. Israel continued to struggle with the Palestinian Arabs and neighboring Arab countries as they waged war on Israel, conventionally in the surprise attacks and invasion of the 1973 Yom Kippur War and through terrorism, diplomatic pressures, and economic warfare through use of the "oil weapon". This period saw the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) emerge and be recognized as the Palestinian's leader. The PLO masterminded some of history's worst atrocities as they attempted to use terrorism to destroy Israel when it became clear that conventional wars were not going to achieve that goal...read more

Now that Iran has admitted that is has constructed a secret facility for producing enriched uranium – one very hard to destroy in a military strike – Israel must be feeling the sand slip through the hourglass.

From CAMERA:

The UN's Goldstone Report, which alleges Israeli war crimes in Gaza, mangled the evidence it supposedly considered. Justice Richard Goldstone and his eminent colleagues misled readers by simply ignoring key information. For example, faced with evidence in an Israeli report that Hamas gunmen indeed were based in hospitals, Goldstone falsely claims the Israeli report presented no such evidence. The Goldstone Report's conclusions were evidently foregone, and its credibility is now in serious doubt....read more
