Gaza fishermen massacre endangered Giant Devil Rays

Arab media clearly showed Gaza fishermen hauling the devil rays ashore, where they were then slaughtered, but British, French & Italian media labeled the presence of hundreds of dead devil rays on Gaza shores a great mystery, claiming that they had simply washed up there.

By Israel Today Staff

 

A series of photos showing hundreds of dead giant devil rays (a smaller cousin to the manta ray) laid out on the beaches of the Gaza Strip caused something of a media phenomenon last week.

What turned Nicky Larkin into an Irish Zionist?

 

Filmmaker, Nicky Larkin’s views were pro-Palestinian, but in a moment of clarity while making his film, his attitude changed.

“I remember thinking that if I was sitting in Dublin or Belfast or London, I wouldn’t have heard about the rockets or the kid getting killed – I’d have only heard about the nasty Israelis going in and bombing the s*** out of the poor Gazans.”

 

With red hair shorn to the scalp, a tattooed forearm, freckled white skin and a pint of beer in front of him (albeit Goldstar, not Guinness), filmmaker Nicky Larkin looks every inch your stereotypical Irishman. Continue Reading »

Joint Israeli-Palestinian Study: No demonization of Israel in PA’s school books

Latest study finds both Israeli & Palestinian school books of equal bias; Fayyad welcomes study.

Israel: Study itself is biased, completely unrelated to reality

By Elior Levy

 

Demonizing and dehumanizing the enemy are mostly absent from Israeli and Palestinian school books, a new study released Monday shows.

While Israeli claims of Palestinian incitement are far from uncommon, the international study showed them to be largely baseless and accused both sides of a one-sided narrative.

The Council for the Religious Institutions of the Holy Land commissioned the study to examine how Israeli and Palestinian textbooks portray both sides in connection to the conflict and the peace process. Continue Reading »

Messianic-led forum inaugurates ‘Palestinian Human Rights Week’

Israel is attacked with outrageously erroneous accusations in int’l ‘journalism’ & academia, & our response to these assaults is too often unconvincing explanations.
“We are taking the battle right back to the Palestinians. Israel needs to stop trying to defend itself and start taking the initiate,”

By David Lazarus

 

As anti-Israel organizations from around the world prepare for the annual Israeli Apartheid Week in February, the Jerusalem Institute for Justice is fighting back. The Jerusalem-based institute is organizing the first annual “Palestinian Human Rights Week” in an attempt to draw international attention to the horrendous human rights record of the Palestinian Authority.

Abbas boasts Nazis & Zionist were linked before WWII

In an interview on Lebanon TV, PA president Abbas was quoted as saying Israel’s PM agreed to allow Palestinian refugees to flee Syria to W. Bank on condition they relinquish right of return. Abbas also linked Zionism to Nazism.

By KHALED ABU TOAMEH

Mahmoud Abbas Photo by Marc Israël SellemAbbas was speaking during a lengthy interview with Al-Mayadeen, a Beirut-based TV station that is affiliated with Hezbollah and Iran.

Original Thinking: Recognizing Israeli diplomatic incompetence

Saving Israel from a global delegitimization campaign that has a significant diplomatic impact on our country is sufficient grounds for influential & powerful people to rally around the Jewish state and protect it from our enemies, AND and from the incompetence of our gov’t’s politicians & officials.

By BARRY SHAW

 

How is it possible for Israel to effectively present its positions to the world when its government PR organs are in such a state of disarray? Not only are they in shameful condition, they have become incapable of addressing the most basic elements of our legitimacy and policy.

We hear the most outlandish criticisms and resolutions used against us that go unanswered by the government. Continue Reading »

Latest PA Blood-libel: IDF ‘Booby-Trapped Toys’ to Kill Children

According to the latest Palestinian libel against Israel, the IDF is distributing “booby-trapped toys” to Arab children

By David Lev

 

According to the latest Palestinian Authority libel against Israel, the IDF is distributing “booby-trapped toys” to Arab children. It was a take-off, said the Palestinian Media Watch organization, of an old libel, which claimed that the army was distributing “poison candies” to Arab children.

toys

According to the PMW, the libels spread by the PA against Israel have their “seasons,” and the latest “style” in libeling is the story of the booby-trapped toys. In several interviews on PA television in recent days, PA government officials have said that IDF soldiers have spread the toys in areas where they conducted patrols or exercises, apparently in the hope that children will pick them up and get blown up.

Do UK taxpayers know they fund anti-Israel groups?

The UK allocates taxpayer funds to groups which hope to build a Palestinian state not alongside Israel but in place of it, which ignore the campaign of terror against Israeli civilians that demonizes Israel through absurd accusations of “apartheid” & “ethnic cleansing”.

By Alex Ryvchin

 

The British Government is recklessly allocating taxpayer funds to group which hope to build a Palestinian state, not alongside Israel, but in place of it.

When the British taxpayer-funded Hebron Rehabilitation Committee issued a statement in August describing a terror attack by Islamic Jihad as a “heroic operation”, it should have been met with a very swift and severe response from the British Government, and a review of the Foreign Office’s funding practices.

Is European diplomacy in the service of our enemies?

Original Thinking: It is prudent to quote Winston Churchill, who castigated the British political leadership with the words, “You had the choice of choosing war or dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you got war.”

By BARRY SHAW

 

What has Israel experienced from Europe recently as it was assaulted by Palestinian terror and diplomacy? How do we define the attitude, words and deeds of European Union ministers and diplomats? What they have done and said can only be interpreted as closed-mind diplomacy in the service of our enemy.

The European Parliament building in Strasbourg
Look how events unfolded. Although most condemned the Hamas missile attacks against Israel, they failed to follow their condemnation with any punitive measures against a Palestinian terror regime that is guilty of multiple international crimes ranging from terrorism, war crimes, crimes against humanity, incitement to murder and anti-Semitism, to name but a few.

Palestinian Authority Makes It Official: Palestine is all of Israel

Heading the PLO as well as the Palestinian Authority,  Mahmoud Abbas, officially adopts their new logo: All of Israel as Palestine.

By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

 

The Fatah party, headed by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, has made official what it has been saying quietly and has adopted a new logo showing all of Israel as Palestine.

The logo marks the 48th anniversary of the founding of Fatah by Yasser Arafat and includes a map with the PA flag and a map of Israel that appears to be a depiction of the black and white checkered kefiyah, a symbol of the violent intifada, and the slogan “the state and victory.” Continue Reading »

Anti-Israeli propaganda wrapped up in a Story of Bethlehem.

Squeezing a Story Out of Bethlehem is a great way to seek understanding and good-will, but a few in the media without scruples see this as a propaganda bonanza.

By

 

Every year around this time, it’s the same tired old story. A journalist attempts to find a Christmas angle for Palestinian suffering, most often focusing on Bethlehem’s Palestinian Christian residents. This year is no different and Harriet Sherwood of The Guardian and sister Sunday paper The Observer is the journalist filling the seasonal role.

The Guardian regularly trashes or undermines Jewish historical claims to the land of Israel that go back to biblical times. Continue Reading »

Gaza is not ‘the most density populated’ place….it’s #50

Another fallacy of Gaza Uncovered. Disproving the Palestinian’s applications of Taqiyya and Goebbels-like propaganda once again.

By IsraelandStuff/PP

 

Mainstream Media likes to claim that Gaza is the most densely populated place on earth, maybe because they’re afraid to contradict the Palestinians. Hence, the continued delegitimation and demonization of Israel vis-a-vis claims that Israel savagely targets innocent civilians randomly in the media. Just another example of Palestinian’s applications of Taqiyya and Goebbels-like propaganda.
We all know Hamas constantly target random civilians intentionally and Israel goes to great length to avoid doing so.

Gaza

The list of cities below by population density should put their lie in it’s proper place….number Continue Reading »

45 Countries Suffer Worse Poverty Than Gaza

At least 45 countries/territories have a higher rate of poverty than Gaza.  Once again, we’re disproving the Palestinian’s applications of Taqiyya and Goebbels-like propaganda.

By IsraelandStuff/PP

 

The total number of countries/territories ranked is 157, so Gaza has a lower poverty rate percentage-wise than 30% of all countries & territories worldwide.

_______________________________________________________________________________

National estimates of the percentage of the population falling below the poverty line are based on surveys of sub-groups, with the results weighted by the number of people in each group. Definitions of poverty vary considerably among nations. For example, rich nations generally employ more generous standards of poverty than poor nations. Continue Reading »
