04/06 Links: Hamas demanded $500m from Iran for destruction of Israel; John Lydon: 'Hamas are basically just Jew exterminators, that’s their only real purpose'

From Ian: Jake Wallis Simons: It is now far past time to stop paying attention to the lies of Hamas A year ago, I wrote about "the devastating proof that Hamas is faking its death figures." Last week, it emerged that Hamas had quietly dropped 3,400 "identified" deaths from its casualty figures, including 1,080 children. These deaths never happened, but they had been verified...

In the past couple of years, there has been a spate of articles in the media painting a grim picture on Christians in Israel, making it sound like most of them are experiencing discrimination and attacks like being spit upon by Jews.A new survey of Israel's Christians shows that in at least some ways, Christians in Israel are more comfortable than Jews - in America.The Rossing...

We mentioned an irony of how so many antisemites project their own ambitions of world domination onto Jews. Jews don't want to control the world. (It sounds exhausting!) Judaism is one of the few religions that do not recruit more members. But Jews do want to influence the world. God in Isaiah calls Israel "a light unto nations" and that is part of the Jewish ethos. ...

Middle East Eye reports:Several prominent Muslim scholars have issued a rare religious decree or "fatwa", calling on all Muslims and Muslim-majority countries to wage "jihad" against Israel after 17 months of devastating war against Palestinians residing in the besieged enclave.Ali al-Qaradaghi, the secretary general of the International Union Of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), an...

From Ian: NYPost Editorial: Pray Israel’s new war plan crushes Hamas, frees the hostages — and ends the war Gazans are taking to the streets, rightly blaming Hamas and calling for its ouster, along with the release of hostages and an end to the war. Plus, Israel is dealing with a far more supportive White House. President Donald Trump himself has called for the evacuation...

Lately, I've been working on articles, that will probably become a book, that have morphed from a discussion of understanding antisemitism into a critique of the philosophical frameworks that allow antisemitism into a discussion of how to combat those philosophies with Jewish ethics - that happen to largely align with traditional Western civilization.I have been using...

04/04 Links Pt2: How did young people go so wrong they cheer killers and rapists of Hamas?; Antisemitism among Irish Christians at ‘Medieval’ levels; Orange butterfly renamed in honour of Ariel Bibas

From Ian: Seth Mandel: Princeton Honors Official Involved in Altercation with Jewish Student After viewing the parts of the Piegaro incident that were captured on video, it isn’t surprising the court ruled in his favor. Strother and two other men—according to testimony, the men were faculty advisors helping the pro-Palestinian demonstrators—are seen walking up the steps to...

From Ian: John Spencer: Why the US is striking the Houthis in Yemen On Oct. 31, 2023, the Houthis fired a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones at Israel. One of those missiles was intercepted just miles from Eilat, a southern Israeli port city. More disturbingly, U.S. officials confirmed that a Houthi-launched drone that same week passed over the Red Sea and came dangerously...

(This is the latest chapter in my series on a unified theory for antisemitism, and it is turning into so much more than that. I am truly excited about where this is going. )___________________Most of us don't actively think about our ethical framework. We absorb it by osmosis from our parents, our teachers, our friends, media and online. By the time we enter college, most...
