By Dr. Richard Swier

 

In response to a new online video documenting the anti-Semitic messaging and extreme anti-Israel activism of a campus hate group at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) is again demanding that FAU publicly condemn anti-Semitic bigotry on campus and take other steps to remedy the hostile environment. The video can be seen at www.exposingfau.com.

Does Facebook employ an antisemitic to enforce Facebook ‘hate-content’ policy?

Facebook to Jews: Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Was Wrong. According to Facebook’s PR agency,  removing Anti-Semitic content will cause “harm to the people who use our service.”

By Boycott Watch

 

While many consider Facebook is the undisputed leader in social networking, its vast reach surely makes it an easy place to spread hate. Anyone can create a Facebook group at any time on any subject, and it is both impossible and impractical to monitor all posts. When improper posts are made, Facebook makes people jump through hoops to complain then you can wait 24-48 hours for a response. Continue Reading »

Column One: Dershowitz & Current Realities

Dershowitz apparently does not think that it is important to focus on the nature of things in the Islamic world, the realities, rather, he places his faith in his power to shape the future through his intellect & his willingness to compromise.

By CAROLINE B. GLICK

 

 

 
There are two main reasons that many leftists who are viscerally supportive of Israel have difficulty understanding and defending the Jewish state today. First, the storyline about Israel is deeply distorted.

UN a “major disappointment”, Has Inverted Right and Wrong

Human rights scholar Anne Bayefsky, “It’s time to re-think the United Nations, which turns Israel into a villain.”

By Elad Benari, Canada

 

The United Nations has been a “major disappointment” in the 21st Century and has “inverted right and wrong,” human rights scholar and activist Anne Bayefsky tells Arutz Sheva in a special interview.

Anne Bayefsky is a barrister and solicitor of the Ontario Bar & a human rights scholar and activist.

The UN “was founded in the middle of the 20th Century to offer a new world order based on peace and security and protection of human rights, and it has inverted right and wrong so that Israel becomes the villain and the victims become those who are some of the most intolerant people in the region,” said Bayefsky.

American Ambassador to UN calls for dismissal of UN official who blamed Boston bombings on Israel.

By Arutz Sheva staff

 

United States ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, called on Wednesday for the dismissal of Richard Falk, a top official on the United Nations Human Rights Council, who attempted to explain the Boston Marathon bombings as a reaction to US policy in the Middle East.

Falk, whose official title is the “U.N. special rapporteur for human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories,” implied that the Boston Marathon bombings were payback for America’s “geopolitical fantasy of global domination” and its continued affiliation with the international body only serves to undermine its credibility.  Continue Reading »

Jews Still Planning to Sue Jimmy Carter over Anti-Israel Book

“It is, indeed, a sad day for all of us as Americans, when a former President demeans the dignity of his office by intentionally misstating critically important facts concerning events of great historic significance and public interest, simply to advance a personal anti-Israel animus and to foster the agenda of the enemies of Israel who pump so much money into the Center which bears his name.”

By: Yori Yanover

 

Asserting that no individual has done more than former President Jimmy Carter to defame Israel and to challenge its right to exist, a group of readers filed a class action suit against Carter and the Simon & Schuster publishing company, back in February, 2011, alleging that Carter’s book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” contains numerous false and knowingly misleading statements intended to promote the author’s agenda of anti-Israel propaganda and to deceive the reading public instead of presenting accurate information as advertised.
