ERETZ AND GALUT: Anti/Philo-Semitism

Statements by Arab clerics reveal that blood libels are still very much alive

I was recently told by my aunt in Baghdad that there was a widespread belief among Iraqis that some external force was behind the protests and uprisings across the Middle East. What outside conspiracy, I wondered, could be responsible for the Arab Spring? Not to worry, however; George Saliba – the Syriac Orthodox Church’s bishop in Lebanon – offers us a simple answer. In an interview with Al-Dunya TV on July 24, Saliba declared that “the source... behind all these movements, all these civil wars, and all these evils” in the Arab world is nothing other than Zionism, “deeply rooted in Judaism.” The Jews, he says, are responsible for financing and inciting the turmoil in accordance with The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The churches against Israel - Israel News, Ynetnews

Israel braking the blockade.

The main if not the only aim of "freedom flotilla" is highly symbolic - to demonstrate that the "whole world" is against Israel. The international character of it was to serve exactly that purpose. The fact that Greece stood on the side of Israel, not just created a hindrance in the execution of the action. It undermined the moral justification of it. If everyone against one, one can't be right. But if somebody else joins the one, the strength of universality of the moral judgment becomes just one of the possible opinions. Thus "freedom flotilla" "peace activists" were lowered in their status from being messengers of god to left wing nuts, freaks and trouble makers who they really are. Thank you Greece.

Celebrity kickoff to Israeli Presidential Conference goes somewhat awry « Hot Air

Celebrity kickoff to Israeli Presidential Conference goes somewhat awry « Hot Air: "I’ve flown to Jerusalem to cover a three-day symposium on public policy in Israel started in 2009 by Israeli President Shimon Peres. This year’s version of the Israeli Presidential Conference is entitled “Facing Tomorrow,” but its first plenary session probably had some attendees wondering if tomorrow could come soon enough."

The Flotilla of Fools off to Gaza | FrontPage Magazine: "The flotilla is coming, the flotilla is coming.
European and North American activists, journalists, and mercenaries have set sail—or are about to do so—on fifteen boats with passengers from twenty-two mainly Western countries to “break the Israeli blockade of Gaza.” Spurred on by the anti-Potemkin Village images of Palestinian Arabs living in wretched refugee hovels, fenced in by an allegedly “apartheid” Israeli wall, oppressed by “Nazi” Israeli soldiers for “racist” reasons (and not because the Palestinian leadership practices both Islamic gender and religious apartheid as well as terrorism)–the Good People are sailing to the rescue."

Anti-Semitism on the Rise in Germany :: Hudson New York

Anti-Semitism on the Rise in Germany :: Hudson New York: "A highly-anticipated new report, 'Anti-Semites as a Coalition Partner,' which examines the increasing anti-Israel activism of politicians belonging to the German Left Party (Die Linke), has sparked a debate over the rise of anti-Semitism disguised as anti-Zionism in post-modern Germany. The study has been welcomed for drawing attention to the re-emergence of anti-Semitism in public discourse in Germany, and has even triggered a debate about Israel bashing in the German parliament."

Rabbi Jason Miller: Delta Adopts Saudi Arabian Airlines No Jew Policy

Rabbi Jason Miller: Delta Adopts Saudi Arabian Airlines No Jew Policy: "For a long time in Michigan, Northwest Airlines had its hub at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. That meant an essential monopoly on domestic flights in and out of Detroit. A few years ago Delta Airlines took over Northwest Airlines and now the vast majority of domestic flights at Detroit Metro are operated by Delta. That fact makes it especially troubling to learn that Delta will add Saudi Arabian Airlines to its SkyTeam Alliance of partnering companies and would require Delta to ban Jews and holders of Israeli passports from boarding flights to Saudi Arabia. The partnership was originally announced by Delta Airlines in a press release on January 10, 2011."
