Israeli journalist exposes Rep. Tlaib’s disingenuous Hanukkah message

Watch as an Israeli i24 journalist breaks down Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s ironic, even anti-Semitic, Hanukkah message by explaining what Hanukkah is historically about.

By Israel Today Staff

 

She’s a true Palestinian politician.

US Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has mastered the art of speaking out of both sides of her mouth, a trait shared by the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah.

For years she has railed against the so-called Israeli “occupation” of so-called “Palestine,” from which her parents emigrated many decades ago.

But this week, Tlaib made sure to wish a “Happy Hanukkah” to all her potential Jewish voters.

At least one Israeli TV anchor tore Tlaib to shreds over that disingenuous holiday greeting. Continue Reading »

Kemp: ‘ICC decision to investigate Israel would make Himmler proud’

The International Criminal Court, heir to the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal, has in a grotesque inversion become a propaganda weapon of organizations linked to the 3rd Reich.

By RICHARD KEMP

 

SS Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler, architect and director of the Holocaust, would be proud of the latest move by Fatou Bensouda, Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. Intent on the total elimination of the Jewish race, Himmler supported Amin al-Huseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, in his plans to eradicate the Jews in Palestine.

Now Bensouda and the ICC have joined the international campaign aimed at eliminating the Jewish state, led by al-Huseini’s successors. Continue Reading »
