‘WOMEN’S MARCH ON WASHINGTON’ organized by proud antisemitic BDS advocate

 

It’s not often that the world got to see hundreds of thousands of people come together to ‘denounce hatred’, at an event organized & orchestrated by one of the most anti-Semitic & unrepentant haters in the U.S. today. – It truly was a historic event!

By John Perazzo

 

It would be interesting to know how many of the useful idiots donning “pussy hats” at Saturday’s massive “Women’s March on Washington” had any idea—or even cared to know—who the principal organizers of the event were. The answer is undoubtedly close to zero, since the purpose of the entire charade—like all leftist charades—was merely to give the participants an opportunity to publicly signal their own moral superiority while smearing—as racists and fascists—anyone who doesn’t accept socialism, identity politics, and perpetual grievance mongering as the ultimate expressions of the American Dream.

Australia, UK refuse to sign Paris Conference closing statement

 

London prevents the EU Foreign Affairs Council’s adoption of Obama/Kerry’s supported Paris conference closing memorandum.

By JTA

 

 

Britain prevented the European Union Foreign Affairs Council from adopting the closing statement from the Paris peace conference.

Britain’s action, reported by Haaretz citing European and Israeli diplomats, comes a day after Britain refused to sign the closing statement at the peace conference in Paris. Britain had sent a low-level diplomat to the conference as an observer to indicate its displeasure with the proceedings.

In the face of Obama’s actions at the UNSC last week, Israel has a new set of ‘protectors’ from the built-in anti-Israel bias: UK’s PM May – US’s Trump – Australia’s PM Turnbull

Australia also distanced itself from the closing statement and did not sign it. Continue Reading »

Court of Appeal of Versailles: Verdict – Israel is legal occupant of the West Bank

 

The historical verdict carefully ignored (forgotten?) by mainstream media, France’s 3rd Chamber of the Court of Appeal of Versailles decreed that Israel is the legal occupant of the West Bank.

 

Israel is the legal occupant of the West Bank, says the Court of Appeal of Versailles, France.  By JEAN-PATRICK GRUMBERG

 

When I first learned that the Court of Appeal of Versailles ruled that West bank settlements and occupation of Judea Samaria by Israel is unequivocally legal under international law, in a suit brought by the Palestinian Authority against Jerusalem’s light rail built by French companies Alstom and Veolia, that received no media coverage, I decided to put to work my years of Law Studies in France, and I meticulously analyzed the Court ruling.

Brits snubbed yesterday’s untimely Paris conference, sending low level diplomats

 

The Foreign Office spokesman said that Britain attended the conference only as an observer due to the lack of representatives from Israel or the PA and it taking place “just days before the transition to a new American president.”

By Gary Willig

 

Ambassadors and high-ranking diplomats from over 70 countries descended on Paris Sunday to participate in the peace conference supporting the two-state solution, except from nearby Britain, which only sent a delegation of junior diplomats, The Guardian reported.

French MP Meyer Habib: “The Paris conference proves we have lost all shame”

“The drafts of this conference’s conclusion, which were leaked by the media, leave no room to doubt the organizers’ intentions… There’s not a word mentioned about the Palestinian Authority’s resistance to peace, or about Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish country with any kind of borders. Not a word is mentioned about Hamas’ intent to destroy Israel, and not a word is mentioned about the PA and Hamas’ constant incitement to terror or glorification of terrorists.”

By Nitsan Keidar

 

French Member of Parliament (MP) Meyer Habib spoke about Sunday’s scheduled Paris conference.

“We’re talking about a pitiful and unproductive initiative.

UN Deletes Israel From Textbooks Used in UN Financed Palestinian Schools

 

UN-financed schools in Gaza & the West Bank use textbooks which ignore the existence of Israel and teach the Western Wall & the Cave of the Patriarchs are exclusively Muslim holy sites, which the Jews strive to occupy.

An Israeli investigation into school books used by United Nations-run schools in the West Bank were found to consistently delegitimize and demonize the State of Israel.
