Z Word

Jonathan Danilowitz on British (and Arab?) hypocrisy at the Globe Theatre in London:

The racists crawled out of their holes to demonstrate against Israel, the only democracy in the entire Middle East. Bleeding-heart “liberals” exposing their own racist anti-Semitism, masquerading as bothering about the welfare of their brothers and sisters in the Middle East.

The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank has decided its main problem with the terrorists on their territory is that they are too disorganized. Even the generous financial support of Iran isn't enough to grease the wheels so these heavily-armed fanatics can really get going. If they're going to be effective, they really need to unite under the leadership of Fatah's Mahmoud Abbas.

Another reason for Israel to keep negotiations in a deep freeze.More >>

And there you have it:

"The Iranian nation is standing for its cause and that is the full annihilation of Israel,” Maj. Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi said in a speech to a defense gathering Sunday in Tehran.

But wait! He doesn't speak for the Iranian regime! He's just a... high-ranking military general talking to a bunch of other high-ranking generals who are nodding their heads in enthusiastic agreement.

In case the daily chants of "Death to Israel" emanating from Iran's leaders and standing-room-only street rallies didn't tip you off before, perhaps this latest clear threat will nudge you in the right direction.

By blowing up their convoy in Khan Sheikhun.

Not to cut the Syrian regime any slack, but the "Allah Ackbar!" shouting types in the crowd don't exactly inspire a lot of empathy.

Why not? Well, the rebels haven't nearly won this fight yet, but the extermination and eviction of Syria's Christians by jihadists has already begun in earnest.

There are no good guys left in this fight.

Prolific blogger Richard Millett was bullied by racist thugs at a meeting at the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London. Anti-Israel "activists" taunted and intimidated him, trying to take away his camera and other items, for the "crime" of recording a presentation that others present were also recording.

You’re a typical Israeli, you know that,” one idiot man-child grumbled at him. Whatever the hell that means.

The defining observation of this disgusting incident was this: "At no stage did anyone in the 40 strong audience come to my defence in any way."

"What's truly horrifying reading through the diaries of those who lived through the events is the almost total absence of horror," says Lord Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, in a recorded message for Holocaust Remembrance Day.

"One day in 1933, all Jewish lawyers in Germany were dismissed. Nothing was said. Jews came into the offices. Some of them had worked in them for as long as their adult lives and they removed their belongings and they left. No one said anything.

"Then it happened to Jewish academics. Then, to Jewish doctors. No public protest. As little by little, an entire class of humanity was turned in to non-persons..."

"... and so it goes on today, in Darfur and far too many other places today, where being the wrong color or ethnicity or religion or tribe deprives you of the most basic human right, to live in freedom without fear. There is still all too little protest."More >>

Gunter Grass, the elderly German novelist and former Waffen-SS inductee, raised eyebrows recently with a controversial poem criticising Israeli foreign policy. The Propagandist’s crack team of investigative (literary) journalists began delving into the affair immediately, and have now submitted their conclusions. Unfortunately, they are obvious.

First, they say, Germany and Israel seem to have some kinda crazy history/ background/ story thing goin’ on. Secondly, for chrissakes, who but a German writes a poem about foreign policy? Thirdly, the following excerpts from other Grass poetry on Judeo-MidEast themes seem to reveal a certain... ambivalence on the subject.


I think that I shall never see
A poem as homely as Tel Aviv.
Poems are made by fools like me,
Poetry that analyses foreign policy
Which in German is called Poesituttheingotfermechten...


… Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falconer cannot hear Golda Meir.


Roses are red,
UN helmets are blue.
Palestinians love their children,
Don’t you?


A drop of water
Sighs. Uphold Resolution
338-A, ja?

Profileration’s
Just awful, like some flowers
In the attic, or not.

Cloud over Tehran
Spells out, please quit it with the
Bomb menacings, Jews.

The Air Flytilla has arrived in Israel. Sort of.

Instead of protesting the bloody tyranny in Syria, ethnic cleansing of Copts in Egypt or the torture of religious minorities and dissenters in Iran, a wave of "activists" tried to descend on the Middle East's only Western democracy that respects human rights -- and were mostly turned back by airlines that had no interest in paying for their tickets home when they would be rejected by immigration officials.

PALESTINIAN ACTIVIST. So, where are the rest of you?

FLYTILLA REP. What do you mean? Haven't more of our comrades arrived already?

PALESTINIAN ACTIVIST. Noooooo... And there aren't really enough of you guys to have a decent march.

FLYTILLA REP. I see.

PALESTINIAN ACTIVIST. So.

FLYTILLA REP. Have you got Scrabble?More >>

As thousands are being murdered in Syria by the Assad regime and basic human rights are trampled upon by the fundamentalists in Iran, one may legitimately ask why the GMJ marchers are not marching on Damascus or Tehran. For that matter, you might ask why some of the most notorious terrorists and human rights abusers in the world are salivating at the prospect of jihad-happy "martyrs" throwing themselves at Israels borders in human wave attacks -- knowing full well that these mobs will likely be met with force.

If you think Israel would be out of line using violence against illegal intruders, try a little thought experiment: 2 million Pakistani "civilians" cruising towards the border with India; 10 million Mexicans simultaneously running towards Texas; 20 million Chinese going on a quick jog over the border with Russia; choose any two countries and imagine a massive migration happening in a single afternoon -- it doesn't matter whether the countries are friendly or not. In minutes, they wouldn't be... and Israelis are under no illusions already about just how friendly the people are just across their borders.

In reality, the march will likely include thousands, not the millions...More >>

Nicky Larkin is an Irish artist and filmmaker whose documentary on Israel and Palestine Forty Shades of Grey is a shaping up as splendidly refreshing outbreak of insolence in the tradition of Brendan Behan ("the first duty of an author is to let down his country") and Oscar Wilde ("a gentleman never offends unintentionally"). Writing in Sunday's Irish Independent:

An Irish artist is supposed to sign boycotts, wear a PLO scarf, and remonstrate loudly about The Occupation. But it's not just artists who are supposed to hate Israel. Being anti-Israel is supposed to be part of our Irish identity, the same way we are supposed to resent the English. But hating Israel is not part of my personal national identity. Neither is hating the English. I hold an Irish passport, but nowhere upon this document does it say I am a republican, or a Palestinian. . .

Here's the paradox. The better and braver Irish writers and artists have long resisted the reduction of Ireland's necessarily and properly confounding Forty Shades of Green into the boozy brogue and blarney caricature that stage-Irish and low-brow American culture likes so much. But Ireland's own...More >>
