Electronic Intifada goes full Putin
Like most people I have been watching with horror the unfolding events in Ukraine. Unlike many I am not surprised at all. My Zionism is primarily based upon an understanding that the world is a nasty place. Since the 1990s a growing (yet entirely baseless), sense of over confidence has embedded itself in the west. The cold war Soviet threat was replaced with the Islamist … Continue reading Electronic Intifada goes full Putin
Amnesty’s problem with Israel – too many Jews
Unless you have been living under a rock, you’ll know that Amnesty International released a vile report accusing Israel of ‘Apartheid’. Every informed and level headed person on the planet also knows it is a spiteful and false claim. In a recent ranking of the world’s democracies, Israel came in at number 23, which makes it one of the freest, most liberal and vibrant democracies … Continue reading Amnesty’s problem with Israel – too many Jews
Where are the real journalists? 15 questions for Amnesty
Since Amnesty wrote their Apartheid smear report, most of the questions for Amnesty coming from journalists have legitimised Amnesty’s work. This does not mean that the journalists agree with the contents of the report, but merely that the manner in which it has been reported has given Amnesty credit that they clearly do not deserve. It is worth reading how the Times of Israel’s Lazar … Continue reading Where are the real journalists? 15 questions for Amnesty
Beyond Crooked. Meet the Amnesty judges and jury
If you got to page ‘x’ in the new Amnesty ‘Apartheid report to argue about a comment in paragaph ‘y’, that contains a reference to Israel doing ‘z’ – you are already more than half way to losing the argument. This is about the clear big picture, not the distorted little ones – and engaging any accusation that comes from Amnesty is a waste of … Continue reading Beyond Crooked. Meet the Amnesty judges and jury
Amnesty – Apartheid? What a pile of…..
I will keep this short because there is not much to say. Tomorrow Amnesty International is going to drop a 211-page report on Israel. I’ve seen an embargoed copy – Israel are right to call Amnesty antisemitic. Ngo Monitor have just published a take-down of the report that exposes just how bad it actually is. (EoZ also published pieces exposing some of the lies inside … Continue reading Amnesty – Apartheid? What a pile of…..
The outrageous hypocrisy of Anum Qaisar MP
Three weeks after an MP was bigging up increasing trade with the serial human rights abuser Pakistan, she was in Parliament calling for trade boycotts against the UK’s democratic ally Israel. Did she think nobody would notice? This outrageous hypocrisy exposes Islamist driven political bias at the heart of Westminster. Is this really what her constituents voted her into office to do? Anum Qaisar Anum … Continue reading The outrageous hypocrisy of Anum Qaisar MP
Wikipedia butchers history and promotes terrorism – part 1
There are two parts to this essay: I: Wikipedia Butchers History (see below) II: Wikipedia Promotes Terror (to come later) Evolution of a Wikipedia page For most people, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia is ‘just there’, as a handy tool doling out free information with every click. Many also believe the pervasive myth that ‘anyone can edit it’ – thus wrongly thinking the online encyclopedia is … Continue reading Wikipedia butchers history and promotes terrorism – part 1
What really happened to the million Jews in Arab lands?
What really happened to the million Jews who lived in Arab lands? Unfortunately, so many people spread lies about what happened to those Jews – chiefly as a way of propping up a false Palestinian narrative – that most people have no idea of the truth or the scale of the disaster. They see the lies spreading online, but simply do not have the material … Continue reading What really happened to the million Jews in Arab lands?
Irish media is helping to spread antisemitism
The Irish Times has just produced yet another rancid article attacking Jews. This in the same week that Ireland’s ‘bestselling’ political magazine ‘the Phoenix’ was busy spending its time smearing those Jews that fight antisemitism. When we look for a central pillar of Ireland’s widespread antisemitism, we really have to look no further than the Irish media. When it comes to Israel, the people of … Continue reading Irish media is helping to spread antisemitism
What type of Jews do we want to be?
This article was originally posted on my blog at the Times of Israel on 6 Dec 2021. Over the last few days we have been witness to two key events involving attacks on Jews that were captured with clear video footage. The first was an attack on a busload of Jewish children in the heart of London’s shopping district, a group that was out celebrating … Continue reading What type of Jews do we want to be?
Antisemites are trying to delete my Wikipedia page
Well this was a story I didn’t see myself writing until about 7pm yesterday (Thursday 2nd). I am often digging around inside Wikipedia, researching the bias of some of the more notorious antisemitic / anti-Zionist editors. Whilst researching my latest piece, I looked at the editorial history of one of the more prolific haters to check which articles he had most recently been butchering. I … Continue reading Antisemites are trying to delete my Wikipedia page
We have planted trees in Israel for those who help fight antisemitism
Before we were rudely interrupted by a pandemic, I ran a campaign asking British Jews to put forward names of those who they feel are standing by them in the fight we face against rising antisemitism. They also donated, to honour those fighting with trees being planted in Israel in their names. Forty trees in total have been planted and this week a certificate has … Continue reading We have planted trees in Israel for those who help fight antisemitism
pro-Assad Hadi Nasrallah and Twitter combine forces to take me off Twitter
I am currently locked out of my Twitter account. What did I do? Absolutely nothing. Hadi Nasrallah, a pro-Hezbollah, pro-Assad extremist, falsely reported my account – and Twitter bent over backwards to facilitate him. Currently I am locked out – and unless I delete the tweets that they want me to – which are clearly both in the public interest and do not break any … Continue reading pro-Assad Hadi Nasrallah and Twitter combine forces to take me off Twitter
How the Palestinians stole the suffering, of well – just about everyone
It might seem absurd to those that do not see what is going on, but the pro-Palestinian movement probably cannot believe its good fortune. They can steal any idea, make any accusation, and global antisemitism will do the rest of the work for them. Because their fight is against the Jews, their empty smears all go viral. What we see in the anti-Israel movement today … Continue reading How the Palestinians stole the suffering, of well – just about everyone
Academics against Jews – another shameful story
The ultimate purpose of peer review is to maintain integrity and standards in academic research. It is therefore a policing exercise. Academic research that has undergone peer review is considered to be validated and can be published in respected academic journals and spread around as ‘science’. Wikipedia, other academics, journalists, and students build from these journals safe in the knowledge that the peer review system … Continue reading Academics against Jews – another shameful story
