Jerusalem chosen among ‘Best Cities in the World’

By Viva Sarah Press November 19, 2015, http://www.israel21c.org/jerusalem-chosen-among-best-cities-in-the-world/

Israel features in 11 categories in the Condé Nast Traveler’s 28th annual Readers’ Choice Awards. Jerusalem, El Al, and select Eilat, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv hotels were chosen as among the world’s best in their different travel groupings.

Jerusalem was named as one of the Best Cities in the World.

“Long a place of religious pilgrimage for Christians, Jews and Muslims, Jerusalem is now drawing a different sort of pilgrim: the global traveler. In addition to its significant sacred and religious sights, the city boasts modern architecture, a cutting-edge light-rail transit network, and a growing number of notable restaurants,” reads the blurb on why Jerusalem ranks 11th in the readers’ survey.

“Head to the Israel Museum for an exploration of the country’s culture, and stop for a bite at Machneyuda for authentic Mediterranean cuisine.”

Jerusalem scored 84.715 out of 100. …

El Al was given an overall rating of 74.030 out of 100….

And Israeli hotels in Eilat, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem were honored for their luxury and service. ..

“Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”

Jewish women’s group: Time to leave US

Lori Palatnik of the Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project thinks it is time for Jews to send their kids to live in Israel.
By Gil Ronen 1/28/2016, http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/207203#.Vrv3zT_ANTA

When do we leave?

Author and Jewish educator Lori Palatnik, Founding Director of the Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project (JWRP), has come to the conclusion that Jews living in the United States need to start packing and move to Israel.JWRP’s flagship project is Momentum, an “eight-day transformational experience in Israel.” However, in a video uploaded last week, she seemed to be updating her vision, from one in which US Jews visit Israel, to one in which they relocate there permanently.
She explained that after 9/11, she started reading about “the end of days,” and asked “a very great” rabbi – “when do we leave?”

He said that the time to get out was when “they start killing Jews in the street.”

Unfortunately, she said – this is precisely what is already happening in France and New York. She said that it is time for Jews to start sending their children to Israel before them, if they are not ready to leave themselves.

JWRP was founded in 2008 by eight women in the Washington DC area with the goal of “chang[ing] the world through Jewish women.”

Now partnering with Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, JFRP plans to bring 6,000 women from 20 different countries to the Jewish state in the next two years.

Sarah-Tehiya Litman

Sarah-Tehiya Litman

Sarah-Tehiya Litman, 21, whose father and brother were murdered by terrorists on Friday, and who was supposed to get married to Ariel Bigel on Tuesday, has announced that the wedding will only be postponed by nine days – and that the entire nation of Israel is invited. The wedding will be held at Binyanei Hauma in Jerusalem.

The invitation-announcement is preceded by the phrase – “Do not rejoice over me, my enemy, for I have fallen but I have gotten up” (Michah 7:8).

Here is their invitation:

“Don’t make our enemies happy. We fell, we got up, with G-d’s help, our wedding will take place next Thursday, 26

November, 14 Kislev, at Binyanei Hauma [at 7 pm] in Jerusalem. Am Yisrael is invited to get up from the dust and rejoice with us….
Sarah Techiya and Ariel”
Mi k’amcha Yisrael? Who is like Your people Israel???

Invitation in Hebrew:
אל תשמחי אויבתי לי כי נפלתי קמתי. בע”ה חתונתנו תתקיים ביום חמישי הבא י”ד בכסלו 26 בנובמבר בבנייני האומה. כל עם ישראל מוזמן לקום עמנו מעפר ולשמוח בשמחתנו.
שרה תחיה ואריאל.

The wedding of Sarah-Tehiya Litman, whose father and brother were murdered in a drive-by shooting near Hevron, and Ariel Beigel was attended by thousands of people who accepted the couple’s invitation for the general public.

In fact, so many people were in attendance that the hall was too crowded to allow any more people to go in. That, however, didn’t stop the many guests who showed up to break out in song and dance outside the hall.

‘The Jews Will Not be Driven from Jerusalem’

Daniel Luria of Ateret Cohanim calls on Jews around the world to fill the Old City of Jerusalem in response to latest terror wave.

Hezki Baruch 12.10.15 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/201738

“The Jews will not be driven out of Jerusalem,” Daniel Luria, Executive Director of Ateret Cohanim told Arutz Sheva on Sunday, as he visited a communal tent of mourning for Rabbi Nehemia Lavi, who was murdered by a terrorist in the Old City of Jerusalem last week, along with 21-year-old Aharon Banita Bennett.

“The Arab world thinks that they can drive us out, but not violence, not terror will take away one Jew from here,” he declared.

“We are doubling our efforts to make sure there is more Jewish life here,” Luria continued. “We are calling on the Jewish world to walk along these streets. The Jewish world has to understand that Arab terror and incitement will not drive us out of here.”

“Now is the time to actually come to Israel,” he said, calling on Jews “not to be scared of Arab terror because that’s handing them a victory.”

Arab Doctors Suspected of Ignoring Jewish Terror Victims

16october2015 http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/201984#.ViCwqqfhlTA

Health Minister Ya’akov Litzman (United Torah Judaism) ordered an investigation on Friday to check suspicions that Arab medical staff at a clinic in Jerusalem’s Old City did not go out to help Jewish victims, who were stabbed right next to the clinic.

The incident in question is the brutal murder of Aharon Banita Bennett (21) and Rabbi Nehemia Lavi (41), which took place on Hagai Street on October 3. Bennett’s wife was seriously wounded and his two-year-old son was lightly wounded in the Arab terrorist >attack.

While Bennett’s wife’s condition has since improved, it is likely that immediate medical treatment could have lessened the seriousness of her wounds and possibly saved the life of her husband and of Rabbi Lavi, who was stabbed as he came to try and save the young couple and their son.

The Arab-run health clinic located adjacent to the stabbing was open at the time of the attack and medical staff was present inside, reports Channel 2.

However, the Arab medical team did not go out to provide treatment to the wounded, despite their occupational obligations to treat the wounded, just as Magen David Adom (MDA) medics treat Arab terrorists at the scenes of attacks.

The Health Ministry is currently checking whether the medical staff could have helped the wounded and chose not to.

Minister Litzman ordered to speed up the process and mete out justice against those responsible if it becomes clear that they indeed ignored wounded Jewish victims in the lethal attack.

The suspected response of Arab medical staff falls in line with the response of Arab residents, who mocked Bennett’s wounded wife as she tried to escape the attacker and seek help. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has asked to shut down the stores belonging to the Arabs who laughed at the terror victim and struck her.

Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance ignored terror victims

Teen wounded in attack near Hevron directed emergency team to the scene; Red Crescent ambulance ignored them.
By Ari Soffer 11/14/2015 ‍‍ב׳ כסלו תשע״ו – http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/203371#.VkvwBIThlTA

The family members of an Israeli father and son shot dead in front of them as they drove in Hevron were able to direct emergency services to the site of the attack while still under fire.

40-year-old Rabbi Ya’akov Litman and his 18-year-old son Netanel were murdered in the attack, which also left Ya’akov’s wife and several of his children injured.

A car with a Palestinian Authority license plate overtook the family, who were traveling to a pre-wedding celebration, and opened fire. After the victims’ car ground to a halt one terrorist exited his vehicle and fired several more bullets into the prone car, before all the attackers quickly escaped. IDF forces are currently conducting an extensive search for the culprits.

Incredibly, the 16-year-old victim wounded in the attack managed to call emergency services as the attack took place, and informed them of the precise location even while shots were still being fired. Responders say he was lucid throughout
“We are about a kilometer after Otniel – they shot at our car,” he said.

When the operator asked him “in what direction?” he responded: “Heading south. There is a (Palestinian) Red Crescent ambulance here, we have two casualties. There are seven of us in the car.”

The operator then asked him to clarify the condition of the wounded. “One is wounded in the head,” he answered, at which point his attention was distracted and he broke off – apparently due to the fact that the Palestinian ambulance he had spotted sped away instead of attempting to aid the wounded.”There is a Red Crescent ambulance here, but he’s driving away from us – I don’t know why,” the teen said.

“I want you to give me details,” the operator responded. “We are dispatching forces and in the meantime I want to know if they will be enough.”

The teenager then informed the hotline that another ambulance was approaching, as the operator continued to ask him for more details – which he managed to answer without faltering.

His last words to the operator were: “The ambulance driver is coming out.”

ISIS and the Denial of Israel as the God-Bearing Nation
Prof Paul Eidelberg

‍‍‍‍י״ד כסלו תשע״ו – 2015/11/26
Multicultural moral relativism or moral equivalency has ever flourished in Israel’s secular universities. Martin Buber put it quite simply: “There is no scale of values for the [world-historical] function of peoples. One cannot be ranked above another.” (Israel and the World, 223.)The German-educated Buber derived his moral equivalency (or denial of trans-historical truths) from Hegel’s historical relativism.

It is in this light that we are to understand why Israel’s most influential Hebrew University professor and his colleague, Dr. Judah Magnes (the university’s first president), favored a bi-national Arab-Jewish state in the land of Israel. Thus, in 1947, they declared in a joint statement:

We do not favour Palestine as a Jewish country or Palestine as an Arab country, but a bi-national Palestine as the common country of two peoples…. Palestine is not just an Arab land like any other Arab land, or just a Jewish land. For one thing, it is a Holy Land for three monotheistic religions, of which two–Judaism and Christianity, had their origin here, while the third, Islam, regards Jerusalem as next in holiness to Mecca.

Notice that Buber and Magnes purvey each of these three theological claims to the Holy Land as self-justifying. This is cultural relativism or egalitatianism They tacitly and dogmatically deny the possibility that the Jewish claim might be more valid than that of Christianity or of Islam.

But surely they knew that in the past 2,500 years, none of the peoples or nations that conquered or occupied the Land of Israel – whether Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Seleucids, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Seljuks, Fatimids, Latin Crusaders, Mamluks, or Turks – ever established a national dominion or functional capital in this unique land. Indeed, if not for this (providential) fact, the Jews could never have returned to Eretz Israel.

Moreover, surely a scholar of Buber’s repute knew that Jerusalem is not mentioned even once in the Qur’an. Juxtaposing this fact with the paramount significance of Jerusalem in Judaism, and given Buber’s and Magnes’ own admission that “Islam regards Jerusalem as next in holiness to Mecca and Medinah,” one would think they would assert the priority of the Jewish claim over that of Islam and Christianity.

Furthermore, it is a plain fact that no state other than Israel has any legal claim to this land – a claim affirmed by the 1920 San Remo Conference, which incorporated the Balfour Declaration. Yet Buber, speaking also for Magnes, displayed monumental ignorance (or timidity) by saying: “We regard the historical rights of the Jews and the natural rights of the Arabs [based on their presence on the land] as … of equal validity …” (emphasis added) [i]

These scholars were either ignorant of the decisively significant 1920 San Remo Conference, or the decision of that international conference was trumped by their subjective ideological attachment to the cultural relativism and moral equivalency instilled in them by German philosophy (and still discernible in PM Netanyahu’s two state solution!).

Buber conveyed this moral equivalency in his statement that one nation can’t be ranked above another. Evident here is the timid, morally neutral (or “politically correct”) attitude of an academic influenced by the German school of historical relativism. In reality, however, every great nation does indeed rank itself above others, at least until its educators become cultural or historical relativists.

Contrast Dostoevski: “If a great people does not believe that the truth is only to be found in itself alone …; if it does not believe that it alone is fit and destined to raise up and save all the rest by its truth, it would at once sink into being ethnographic material. A really great people can never accept a secondary part in the history of humanity, nor even one of the first, but it will have the first part. A nation that loses this belief ceases to be a nation.”

Buber’s moral equivalency or cultural egalitarianism denies the election of Israel as the “light unto the nations.” This denial permeated the mentality of those who founded the modern State of Israel and its secular universities. They accepted, uncritically and dogmatically, the historical and democratic relativism that has dominated the modern era, in consequence of which they harbored no exalted view of Israel as the truth- or God-bearing nation.

This degraded and weak-willed view of Israel amounts to intellectual and moral bankruptcy, and it has sullied every Israeli Prime Minister since Oslo 1993. I will go even further: Oslo represents a monumental denial of evil, the evil rooted in Islam, whose worshipers have slaughtered tens of millions of non-Muslims since Muhammad.

Today the evil rooted in Islam has been magnified by ISIS. Islam via ISIS is the only significant political force in the Middle East. This dismal fact corresponds to the Oslo legitimization of the barbaric Muslims called the “Palestinians.” It represents the abysmal failure of Israel’s intellectual and political leaders, who failed to represent Israel as the God-bearing nation.

Synagogue safety instructions released for Jerusalemites

23october2015 http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/202348#.VioqgqfhlTA

The Jerusalem Municipality has published safety instructions for people attending synagogue this Friday/Saturday, following a full month of terror attacks throughout the capital.

Among the guidelines:

  • People with personal guns are advised to bring them, hidden under the worshippers’ clothes;
  • Synagogue officials should make a list of attendees with guns;
  • Armed worshippers should sit near entrances so that they are ready to act if necessary;
  • Synagogue officials should appoint someone who is familiar with the regular attendees to watch people as they enter;
  • Officials should check the area around the synagogue before people enter, in order to identify anything out of place – people, packages, etc;
  • If necessary, vehicles should not be allowed to park in front of the synagogue;
  • During Shabbat and holidays there should be a working phone, set on silent, that can call for help if necessary; and
  • Worshippers should remain attentive on their way to and from the synagogue.

Police stressed that the Jerusalem Chief Rabbinate was consulted prior to the guidelines’ release, and that the instructions were published with the Rabbinate’s consent.

20,000 Israelis sue Facebook over incitement to violence by Palestinians – Arab-Israeli Conflict

http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/20000-Israelis-sue-Facebook-over-incitement-to-violence-by-Palestinians-430112

Israeli non-profit – Shurat HaDin – is recruiting the Israeli public to a lawsuit against Facebook for incitement and encouragement of violence against Israelis.

One of the significant characteristics of the current terror wave is the incitement on the social media networks, headed by Facebook.

This is much more than just sharing anti-Israel song lyrics set to Eyal Golan music and anti-Semitic cartoons. This incitement consists of the Facebook pages of many young Palestinians who inflame their friends to embark on terrorist attacks, provocative videos glorifying and encouraging terrorist attacks, instructions for terrorists “How to Carry out a Terrorist Attack” – all on Facebook.

The Court Of Justice Of The European Union Limits Free Speech

Tyler Durden 09November2019 https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/court-justice-european-union-limits-free-speech
Authored by Judith Bergman via The Gatestone Institute,

 

The Court of Justice of the European Union

The Court of Justice of the European Union

 

On October 3, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled in a judgment that Facebook can be ordered by national courts of EU member states to remove defamatory material worldwide:

“EU law does not preclude a host provider such as Facebook from being ordered to remove identical and, in certain circumstances, equivalent comments previously declared to be illegal. In addition, EU law does not preclude such an injunction from producing effects worldwide, within the framework of the relevant international law which it is for Member States to take into account.”

The ruling came after the Austrian politician Eva Glawischnig-Piesczek, chairman of Die Grünen (The Greens) party, sued Facebook Ireland in the Austrian courts. According to the Court of Justice of the European Union:

“She [Glawischnig-Piesczek] is seeking an order that Facebook Ireland remove a comment published by a user on that social network harmful to her reputation, and allegations which were identical and/or of an equivalent content.

“The Facebook user in question had shared on that user’s personal page an article from the Austrian online news magazine oe24.at entitled ‘Greens: Minimum income for refugees should stay’. That had the effect of generating on that page a ‘thumbnail’ of the original site, containing the title and a brief summary of the article, and a photograph of Ms Glawischnig-Piesczek. That user also published, in connection with that article, a comment which the Austrian courts found to be harmful to the reputation of Ms Glawischnig-Piesczek, and which insulted and defamed her. This post could be accessed by any Facebook user.”

The judgment has brought concern among free speech organizations. Thomas Hughes, the executive director of ARTICLE 19, a non-profit organization that works on “protecting the right to freedom of expression around the world,” said:

“This judgment has major implications for online freedom of expression around the world.

“Compelling social media platforms like Facebook to automatically remove posts regardless of their context will infringe our right to free speech and restrict the information we see online…

“The ruling also means that a court in one EU member state will be able to order the removal of social media posts in other countries, even if they are not considered unlawful there. This would set a dangerous precedent where the courts of one country can control what internet users in another country can see. This could be open to abuse, particularly by regimes with weak human rights records.

According to ARTICLE 19:

The judgment means that Facebook would have to use automated filters to identify social media posts that are considered to be ‘identical content’ or ‘equivalent content’. Technology is used to identify and delete content that is considered illegal in most countries, for example, child abuse images. However, this ruling could see filters being used to search text posts for defamatory content, which is more problematic given that the meaning of text could change depending on the context. Although the ruling has said only content that is essentially the same as the original unlawful post should be removed, it is likely that automated filters will make errors”.

The judgment “undermines the long-standing principle that one country does not have the right to impose its laws on speech on another country,” Facebook commented in a statement.

“It also opens the door to obligations being imposed on internet companies to proactively monitor content and then interpret if it is ‘equivalent’ to content that has been found to be illegal.”

The ruling “essentially allows one country or region to decide what internet users around the world can say and what information they can access,” said Victoria de Posson, senior manager in Europe at the Computer & Communications Industry Association, an industry group that includes Google and Facebook as members.

The judgment does indeed appear to be opening up a Pandora’s Box for the ever-shrinking space for free speech in Europe and potentially worldwide, although it is still unclear at this point, how the judgment might affect free speech worldwide.

Government efforts in Europe to censor free speech have long been ongoing: in Germany, the controversial censorship law, known as NetzDG, which came into effect on October 1, 2017, requires social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, to censor their users on behalf of the German state. Social media companies are obliged to delete or block any online “criminal offenses” such as libel, slander, defamation or incitement, within 24 hours of receipt of a user complaint. Social media companies receive seven days for more complicated cases. If they fail to do so, the German government can fine them up to 50 million euros for failing to comply with the law.

The new judgment from the Court of Justice of the European Union, presumably, could mean that a German court could order what it deems to be illegal content, or its equivalent, under NetzDG to be removed in other EU member states that do not have a similarly draconian censorship law.

France is looking to adopt a similar law to that in Germany: In early July, France’s National Assembly adopted a draft bill designed to curtail online hate speech. The draft bill gives social media platforms 24 hours to remove “hateful content” or risk fines of up to 4% percent of their global revenue. The bill has gone to the French Senate. Again, if the bill becomes law, the judgment from the Court of Justice of the European Union could mean that French courts would be able to demand that Facebook remove what the courts consider illegal content or its equivalent under French law.

The judgment from the Court of Justice of the European Union, in other words, appears to give EU member states unprecedented power to determine public discourse online — to determine what citizens can and cannot read. It naturally remains to be seen exactly how the judgment will be interpreted in practice by national courts of the EU member states, but the prospects now look even bleaker for the future of free speech in Europe.

Facebook In Turmoil: Employees In Uproar Over Executive’s Leaked Memo

Facebook’s problems are just getting worse, and now investors can add worker morale to the (bucket) list of problems as the New York Times reports that employees furious over a leaked 2016 memo from a top executive seeking to justify the company’s relentless growth and “questionable” data harvesting – even if it led to terrorists attacks organized on the platform.

 

VP Andrew "Boz" Bosworth - one of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's most trusted executives, wrote that connecting people is the greater good even if it "costs someone a life by exposing someone to bullies.

“Maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools.”

On Friday, the fallout from Bosworth’s leaked memo – following several weeks of outrage over the company’s data harvesting practices, has Facebook employees in an uproar, according to The Times.

According to two Facebook employees, workers have been calling on internal message boards for a hunt to find those who leak to the media. Some have questioned whether Facebook has been transparent enough with its users and with journalists, said the employees, who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation. Many are also concerned over what might leak next and are deleting old comments or messages that might come across as controversial or newsworthy, they said. –NYT

One former Facebook employee, Alex Muffett, wrote on Twitter that Bosworth’s memo was a “significant” part of his decision to leave the company. “Between overwork and leadership direction evidenced thusly, I could never stay,” wrote Muffett.

“There are some amazing engineers working at Facebook, folks who care deeply about user privacy, security, and how people will use the code that they write,” Mr. Muffett said later in a message. “Alas this episode may not help” to achieve more transparent internal product discussion, he said.

Facebook Said to Create Censorship Tool to Get Back Into China

[-https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/22/technology/facebook-censorship-tool-china.html]

The social network has quietly developed software to suppress posts from appearing in people’s news feeds in specific geographic areas, according to three current and former Facebook employees,

Facebook has restricted content in other countries before, such as Pakistan, Russia and Turkey, in keeping with the typical practice of American internet companies that generally comply with government requests to block certain content after it is posted. Facebook blocked roughly 55,000 pieces of content in about 20 countries between July 2015 and December 2015, for example. But the new feature takes that a step further by preventing content from appearing in feeds in China in the first place.

Facebook does not intend to suppress the posts itself. Instead, it would offer the software to enable a third party — in this case, most likely a partner Chinese company — to monitor popular stories and topics that bubble up as users share them across the social network, the people said. Facebook’s partner would then have full control to decide whether those posts should show up in users’ feeds.

Meanwhile, Facebook is rapidly becoming radioactive, inside and out.

Jerusalem Cats Comment: If Facebook can develop software to suppress posts from appearing in people’s news feeds in specific geographic areas then it can stop terrorist from using Facebook for Terror.

Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini and Adolf Hitler December 1941
Haj Amin al-Husseini who was, in many ways, as big a Nazi villain as Hitler himself. To understand his influence on the Middle East is to understand the ongoing genocidal program against the Jews of Israel. Al-Husseini was a bridge figure in terms of transporting the Nazi genocide in Europe into the post-war Middle East. As the leader of Arab Palestine during the British Mandate period, al-Husseini introduced violence against moderate Arabs as well as against Jews. Al-Husseini met with Adolf Eichmann in Palestine in 1937 and subsequently went on the Nazi payroll as a Nazi agent. Al-Husseini played a pivotal behind-the-scenes role in instigating a pro-Nazi coup in Iraq in 1941 as he urged Nazis and pro-Nazi governments in Europe to transport Jews to death camps, trained pro-Nazi Bosnian brigades, and funneled Nazi loot into pro-war Arab countries.
On 20 November1941, al-Husseini met the German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and was officially received by Adolf Hitler on 28 November.
Al-Husseini’s own account, as recorded in his diary, states that Hitler expounded his view that the Jews were responsible for World War I, Marxism and its revolutions, and this was why the task of Germans was to persevere in a battle without mercy against the Jews,
According to the official report of the meeting, on November 28, 1941, Adolf Hitler told Husseini that the Afrika Korps would “liberate” Arabs in the Middle East and that “Germany’s only objective there would be the destruction of the Jews.”
“SS leaders and Husseini both claimed that Nazism and Islam had common values as well as common enemies – above all, the Jews,” the report states.
In fall 1943, it says, Husseini went to the Croatia, a German ally, to recruit Muslims for the Waffen-SS.

Jerusalem’s Armon Hanatziv neighborhood; two Arab terrorists attempted to hijack a bus, butchering passengers with a large knife and a pistol in one of two near-simultaneous attacks in the capital Tuesday.Two people were murdered in that attack and more than a dozen others wounded, before the attackers were shot by border police, seen rushing to the scene in large numbers.One terrorist was killed and the second wounded and taken into police custody.In a separate attack, a terrorist murdered a 59-year-old rabbi near the Meah Shearim neighborhood. Terrorist Alaa Abu Jamal rammed his car into a bus stop and emerged with a knife, killing Rabbi Yeshiyahu Krishevsky and wound another person before himself being shot dead.Two other stabbing attacks by Arabs in Ra’anana left five people injured as well, in the first such attacks in the central Israeli city since the recent outbreak of Arab violence began.

Palestinian Murder of American-Israeli Poses Challenge to J Street

29October2015 http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/10/29/palestinian-murder-of-american-israeli-poses-challenge-to-j-street/ by Benyamin Korn”
The death of any Jew at the hands of Palestinian terrorists should make American Jewish organizations sit up and take notice. But the death of US Jewish peace activist Richard Lakin poses a special challenge to left-of-center advocacy groups such as J Street.

Lakin, 76, a retired Connecticut school principal, was a passenger on a bus in Jerusalem’s Armon Hanatziv neighborhood, when two Palestinian Arab terrorists attacked with guns and knives on October 13. He passed away this week, from the injuries suffered in the attack. …

At the time of the attack, Lakin’s nephew, Joshua, told the Courant that his uncle “was active in a number of groups that sought peace between Israelis and Palestinians…’He just loves people, cares about people, and wants everybody to get along.’ ”

A terror victim’s politics shouldn’t matter. Groups that care about Israel should speak out for all terror victims, whether they are liberals or conservatives. But it is a fact of life that we tend to pay more attention when the victim is someone with whom we can personally identify.

Americans for Peace Now co-founder Leonard Fein was not outspoken on the issue of terror victims. But when Joan Davenny, whom he knew personally, was killed in a suicide bombing attack in Jerusalem in 1995, Fein broke his silence.

The Israeli government identified Abd al-Majid Dudin as having trained the suicide bomber who carried out that attack, and Israel asked the Palestinian Authority to hand him over for prosecution (as the Oslo accords require). The PA refused. Fein joined those calling on the Clinton administration to demand that the PA hand Dudin over for prosecution in the United States. The US government must “act firmly and promptly on this matter,” Fein wrote. Sadly, the administration did not his heed his plea. But he did the right thing.

Will the murder of fellow peace activist Richard Lakin spur J Street, Americans for Peace Now, and other left-of-center groups to follow Leonard Fein’s footsteps and speak out?

And not just speak out in general, vague terms — but ask for specific actions…

Journalist Stabs IDF Soldier

Terrorist Disguised as Journalist Stabs IDF Soldier

16October2015 http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/202000#.ViECL6fhlTA

According to initial reports, the terrorist – who wore a yellow vest with “PRESS” written on it and who carried photography equipment – loitered near the checkpoint, with Hamas’s Al Quds television station broadcasting live.

The Deputy Commander of the IDF’s Judea-Samaria Brigade, and the Battalion Commander of the Tsabar Battalion of Givati, were touring the area and scanning for terror activity there following Hamas’s declaration of a “Day of Rage,” Yediot Aharonot reports.

When the two left their vehicle, the terrorist pulled out a knife, dropped his props, and ran for a soldier who was part of the two commanders’ entourage, stabbing him.

The terrorist was shot dead immediately by a senior officer at the site….

VIDEO Terror Journalism: Muslim Terrorist Disguised as a Journalist Stabs Israeli Soldier

By Pamela Geller on October 16, 2015 – See more at: http://pamelageller.com/2015/10/71835muslim-terrorist-disguised-as-a-journalist.html/#sthash.QQm8w8kg.dpuf

It’s time Israel banned the press. They are Israel’s worst enemy.

Let’s be frank, there is little difference between this murderer disguised as a journalist and the Jew-hating journalists (BBC, CNN, NYT, AP, et al) who use their pens as weapons and spread vicious blood libels against the Jews. They are both guilty of the same crime. Murder and incitement to genocide.

I wonder which journalist gave his jacket to the jihadi.

comment: How do we know he was not a reporter!

MSNBC’s Jihad Against the Jews: Airs Vicious Anti-Israel Propaganda

By Pamela Geller on October 17, 2015 – See more at: http://pamelageller.com/2015/10/msnbcs-jihad-against-the-jews.html/#sthash.MyxPUfbu.dpuf

MSNBC is notorious for its uber-left, sloppy “reportage,” but the Jew-hatred they have brazenly displayed covering the wave of jihad-terror in Israel is shocking.

Just yesterday MSNBC’s reporter in Jerusalem (Ayman Mohyeldin) was caught red-handed portraying a Damascus gate stabbing by a rabid “Palestinian” terrorist as an Israeli execution of an innocent Palestinian. What’s the difference between Ayman and the Muslim terrorist who, disguised as a journalist, stabbed an Israeli soldier? Very little.

Jared Malsin has just been named Time magazine’s Middle East bureau chief.

Malsin used to be editor at Ma’an, and he was denied entry to Israel after a vacation in 2010. The reasons given were, according to Ma’an:1) Refusal to cooperate, 2) Lying to border officials, 3) Reasons for arriving unclear, 4) Violated visa terms, and 5) Entered Israel by means of lies…
