Ahed Tamimi and other Palestinians

[Antepli Ejderha]

Another attempt by mainstream media to change the narrative and blame either the victims or the Arab states, dehumanization continues.

I'd not heard of Erakat before, she's the niece of Saeb and US born and educated.

Another fantastic piece by Amira Hass

Decent NYT piece on how Bibi is going alll in with the Evangelicals

While Israel has long depended on the support of the Jewish diaspora, the Netanyahu government has made a historic and strategic shift, relying on the much larger base of evangelical Christians, even at the risk of turning off American Jews who may be troubled by some evangelicals’ denigration of their faith.

Comment by Jonathan Cook

The question we ought to be asking in a case like this is: what kind of satirical cartoon lambasting Israel could ever satisfy the criteria being demanded by the current anti-semitism watchdogs?

And in consequence, what cartoonist is going to dare to deploy their satirical skills against Israel when the response is invariably going to lead to their being accused of anti-semitism and possibly losing their career and their reputation?

That is precisely what weaponising anti-semitism means. It hands Israel a get-out-of-jail-free card. It intimidates opinion formers – journalists, cartoonists, comedians, politicians, civil society leaders, human rights activists – by making the issue of Israel so toxic that none dare touch it.

Personally, I can forgive any German organization for erring on the overcompensation side.

[Nefertiti2]

If the editor really considers the cartoon anti-semitic, he should resign.

Israel has just started bombing Gaza. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that it's during the CL final

[johnr]

Sadly, they don't need to hide their atrocities behind a CL final, so I doubt it's connected.

After Israel has been bombing Gaza repeatedly for weeks, killing people near the fence, trying to get a reaction, yesterday a few mortar shells flew out of Gaza and landed harmlessly. Just what Israel had been waiting for in order to launch to what they refer to as a "response" (and unquestioningly referred to that also by such theoretically liberal media outlets such as the Guardian) . They did a significant amount of bombing last night

Sadly, they don't need to hide their atrocities behind a CL final, so I doubt it's connected.

But just in case, they are going to try to hide them from everyone. And lock you up if you film or share them

NYT columnist argues that killing Palestinians is actually in the interests of... Palestinians. What a horrific racist cunt. http://mondoweiss.net/2018/05/column...-palestinians/
