Semitic Notes

 When someone online says you can’t have Eastern European influence and be Middle-Eastern, don’t try prove them wrong. You can flat out say that’s insane. And it certainly doesn’t mean Arabian colonizers from Arabia suddenly gain rights to claim your indigenous status. When someone says Jews are evil or the Israeli government is Jewish supremacist, that’s insane. You don’t even need to react. Just know it’s crazy.  When someone screams Israel lobby, Jewish conspiracy, etc. you don’t need to react. It’s just insane. The internet brings out the craziest in everyone, it’s true. 

Good (hopefully) Morning (or night, I don't judge when you read you're news).  Palestinian Arabs tried to set fire (for the second time recently) to Joseph's Tomb . Imagine if Jews tried to do the same thing to a regular Mosque uninhabited. Khaled Any Toameh, who reported the story, also had this lovely quip: Terrorists also firebombed  Jewish homes in Jerusalem. Quote of the Week:  When Israel was founded, it was created to be a place, not just for the Jewish people, but for all those who sought to make the Holy Land a better place .  -Bassem Eid (you'll notice the article is from the website of  Robert Spencer , who's own book proved the KGB roots of "Palestine" as a way for the Soviets to have a loyal pawn).  Israeli Students a re finding new ways to teach Arabic. Light unto even our enemies, eh? Also, last week I "missed" a ACLU leader claiming the right of return is Jewish supremacism. So, to be clear: When Jews are refused entry to every co

Myth: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-1936-arab-riots You often hear the lie Jews boycotted Arabs in Israel;  Fact: Arabs boycotted Jews. Myth: The British were always on the side of Jews Fact: The British White paper ended their support for a Jewish state and shut down Jewish immigration to Israel https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/british-white-paper-of-1939  Myth: "Palestinians" were innocent. Fact: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/amin-al-husseini-nazi-concentration-camp They were part of the "Final Solution".

 Being NO ONE has been talking about this, I’d like to note that the AG won’t imprison guilty terrorists because he’s afraid of putting a party on trial.  https://www.timesofisrael.com/firebrand-former-mk-hanin-zoabi-to-be-charged-with-fraud-over-party-finances/amp/

Germans: Try and genocide their neighbors, lose a war, and have millions forced out of their homes into a smaller Germany. The world is not claiming Germany was destroyed unjustly. Arabs: Try and genocide their neighbors, lose a war, have less than a million refugees flee from a piece of territory they colonized. Their were Arabs who remained in Israel. This is an international crisis and they  need to be sent to the state they tried to annihilate.

 1. Humans are still finding remnants of our ancient civilizations of the past, millennia later. If ours ever collapses, what happens to all this, on the internet?  2. Images on the internet can be faked. Don't trust the profile picture or the profile. (An example of a computer-generated image for the fake twitter account of "Rabbi Linda Goldstein".)

Hello, and glad you could join me as I take you through this weeks Israel news (news sadly not as punny as this weeks title). Last weeks news can be accessed here:  https://judeannotes.blogspot.com/2021/12/in-case-you-missed-it.html?m=1 Above  is Khaled Abu Toameh, an Arab journalist for the Jerusalem post. He is being "quoted" by Fadi Elsalameen, an anti-corruption activist. The only internet-findable people reporting on the mass arrests by the PA (of which I'm sure there are many more) are Israeli. Imagine if Israel arrested 245 Palestinians? Not changing the law to support squatters started a war. The hypocrisy is painful. Great Article of the Week: The Duplicity of " Human Rights Watch ". Mansour Abbas explicitly stated (in Hebrew) Israel will remain a Jewish state, a tacit recognition seen as support of Israel's right to exist. He said the same earlier in Arabic to Kul-Al Arab. This strikes a very different tone from the " Political Jihad " w

Israel will donate one million vaccines to countries all around the world, shouldering even the price of transpiration. A Jewish Man was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist in Samaria . Two others were injured. (I'd like to add that France24 claimed his town, which has only ever had Jews and is a small outpost, is the "occupied West Bank"). For the unaware, the Historical and Tohranic regions of Judea includes the Southern half of the “west bank”, and Samaria is roughly the Northern Half, so the area is called Judea and Samaria. The region is not “occupied” (Area A and B are run by the Palestinian authority), so it is not the occupied territories, and their has never been a Palestinian state, so it’s not the Palestinian territories, and the West Bank was a name given by Jordan based on its approximation within country, and cannot logically be applied).  Most Arabs in East Jerusalem want to be governed by Israel.  Great article of the week: Wikipedia and " Distortioni

 A. The Italian Government signed deals, most notably with the violent terrorist Yasser Arafat, to ignore killings of Italian Jews, attacks against Israeli's, and attacks against Jews in Italy. This is the "peacemaker" Arafat, to be clear, and many people in the PA today (including Abu Mazen) had to have known about this deal and explicitly planned to attack Jews around the world. This is also the group the anti-Semitic BDS movement has repeatedly praised Arafat, and claimed has become evil for working with Israel (even as he explicitly broke his agreements). B. The Italian government had at least one case where they knew Arab Palestinian terrorists were planning violence, and did nothing-in fact, the Italians decreased security around the area of a Synagogue so no one would be hurt.  C. Palestinian terrorists killed a two-year old child, and wounded 34 others physically, and many more mentally. Documents show Italy ignored warnings ahead of 1982 terror attack on Rome sy

  Ohhhh noooo Jews living in their historic homeland is colonialism, and Arabs from Arabia (most of which arrived at the same time as returning Jews, even though the PA refuses to admit this) in the land of Israel are the “indigenous” people. https://www.memri.org/tv/hamas-minister-interior-and-national-security-fathi-hammad-slams-egypt-over-fuel-shortage-gaza 

 This is Oxford Languages (and Google’s) definition of “Hebrew”: A member of an ancient people living in what is now Israel and Palestine and, according to biblical tradition, descended from the patriarch Jacob, grandson of Abraham. After the Exodus (  c.  1300 BC) they established the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and their scriptures and traditions form the basis of the Jewish religion.  There are, immediately, two issues: The Hebrews lived in the land of Israel, which includes Israel and “Palestine”, and at that time included parts of Jordan. Say that, its simpler and more true. 2. The Exodus Claim 1300 BC is thrown out there, without consensus historically. Definitely write to Oxford languages on this otherwise good definition.

 A Palestinian nation is as real as a Cascadian one.  Theirs a reason why genetic tests won’t show “ethnic Palestinian” but will show ethnic Jew. 

 Yasser Arafat, born in Cairo to a "Palestinian activist": Palestinian native. A Jew born in Manhattan: Manhattenite, according to anti-Israel people.  Mohammed El-Kurd, who claims Jews (who’s name means Judean/Israelite) are colonizers in Israel (Judea and Israel were the ultimately unified kingdoms which encompassed the land he claims they colonized) and he (who’s last name is El-Kurd, meaning from Kurdistan), a self-identified Arab (a name which means from Arabia) is indigenous. 

 The most extreme "anti-Palestinians one-staters" like Naftali Bennet support the policies of: Splitting Judea and Samaria with Jordan to create a Palestinian state there. Letting Gaza be an independent Palestinian state. Making 1.5 Palestinian Arab states.  The majority of parties on the "Palestinian" side want: Blowing up Israel completely and taking the whole place over.  Theirs a certain irony Gaza as a Palestinian Arab state would be a about the size of the Jewish state under the Peel Commission plan of 1937. For the Palestinian Arabs at the time, that was too much Jew. Now, Hamas and Fatah would die before they accept the same thing.

 Anyone who within living memory of the Holocaust, where nation after nation refused to allow Jews in, attacks the Law of Return as racist is supporting the death of Jews. Theirs no debate needed.

Interesting song, but the premise is wrong, Though to many it isn't new. We're not Germans, we're not Syrians, ultimately we're Jews. We weren't always in chains, and neither were you, We're not meant to be victims, so you better pick not choose, Remember fighting back isn't a sin, when they to bomb you, Gaza where the rich men eat non-Halal pork is not a gas chamber anew, Gas chambers didn't kill Nazis first, they killed Jews. Jews, Jews, Jews, yes Jews. We're not in love with diaspora, though I suppose its true for you. Histories a river, I'd take it with you Maybe if you're lucky, you'll remember the dreams too But if you abandon the prayers of Jerusalem, I suppose the Jew is gone in you Yiddish isn't wrong, nor is a freedom song But lying about Jews isn't new No need to oppressors dialogue with you You could overanalyze I do it every day See the world from a very Stalinistic Soviet way But remember Bablyon wanted a new Is

  The Zionist Movement has, in every action its taken, acted morally. This is a far cry from some other countries. This is why I support Israel, and went from thinking very differently to loving it.  This will be surprising to many, but I truly cannot think of a major country that had as much moral reasoning in every act they’ve done. In every war of survival, in every guardian of the wall action, in every foreign policy move against Pan-Arabism and Stalinism-Every action the whole Israeli government knew about and that was supported by the Zionist movement, was good. 

  When I was a kid, I was being bullied by a kid a few grades ahead of me. Merv told me, “I want you to walk up to him and punch him in the face as hard as you can,” so I did and I got a hell of a beating – fat lip, swollen cheek and bloody nose. I went home and told Merv what happened and he said “Tomorrow I want you to go up to that kid and punch him in the face again.” So I did and lo and behold I got another hellacious beating, maybe even worse than the first one – black eye, bloody nose, swollen cheek. I went home and told Merv and he said “Ok, so tomorrow I want you to go and punch that kid one more time.” I was not overly enthusiastic but I figured that Merv usually knew best, so I did and to my surprise the kid started crying and even though he still beat me up, I felt pretty good about getting some back. Anyway, I told Merv what had happened and sure enough he said “Ok, so tomorrow I want you to walk up to that kid and hit him with everything you got.” So I did and to my shock

  (Two): The following  catalog of Palestinian names may have a few holes in it, but it’s pretty darn good. In a culture whose names are overwhelmingly toponyms (i.e. that reflect place of origin), those origins are Egyptian, Saudi, Lebanese, Syrian, Iraqi, Iranian, even Bosnian and Hindu (remember Hamas leader Suhail al-Hindi) and Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s rocket unit Samih al-Mamluk. How many of them are named  al-Filastini ? If they really had the origins some people claim they do, then surely Hamas would be shouting it from the mountain tops. Instead, we get  this from Hamas Interior Minister Fathi Hammad. 3. Their is not one time before 1964 Arabs in the region of Palestine were ever called "Palestinians". Jews, on the other hand, have been Judeans were millennia.

  The rooms looked like a slaughterhouse… This is Pierre Van Paassen account of what he witnessed in the aftermath of the deadly Hebron 1929 Pogroms. W hat occurred in the upper chambers of Slonim’s house could be seen when we found the twelve-foot-high ceiling splashed with blood. The rooms looked like a slaughterhouse. When I visited the place in the company of Captain Marek Schwartz, a former Austrian artillery officer, Mr. Abraham Goldberg of New York, and Mr. Ernst Davies, correspondent of the old Berliner Tageblatt, the blood stood in a huge pool on the slightly sagging stone floor of the house. Clocks, crockery, tables and windows had been smashed to smithereens. Of the unlooted articles, not a single item had been left intact except a large black-and-white photograph of Dr. Theodore Herzl, the founder of political Zionism. Around the picture’s frame the murderers had draped the blood-drenched underwear of a woman. [1] We stood silently contemplating the scene of slaughter when
