California State University, Northridge (CSUN) officials wage political war against pro-Israel, pro-Jewish supporters

Friday, May 18th, 2012

By Gary Gerofsky

AMCHA is an organization that wants Jewish students to be treated with the same respect, rights, and concern as all other students on California campuses. The Never Again Group (NAG) of Canada finds the escalating tensions and outright political war between California State University, Northridge (CSUN) officials and AMCHA to be unacceptable and repugnant.

Canadian public must demand politicians and police forces eliminate politics of fear and appeasement

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

By Gary Gerofsky

When will the Canadian police return to treating thugs like thugs and citizens with respect by protecting good people against the thugs? It seems that in places where there have been recent protests such as Caledonia, parts of Quebec, and many other places across Canada, violent protestors are treated with respect under the umbrella of a policy of appeasement. Conversely, those who find the actions of thugs questionable and want to express their concern by showing up at protests are targeted by police.

LUSH Cosmetics Now Giving “Charity” to Anti-Israel Fanatics

Monday, May 7th, 2012

By Join the Boycott

Anti-Israel LUSH Cosmetics is now giving your hard-earned wages to a “charity” called Bustan Qaraaqa which actively advocates against Israel and the “brutality of the military occupation, the Wall and the Settlements.” This “charity” also aims an anti-Semitic jab at Israel commenting that “Palestine” is a beautiful country “despite the vandalism of conflict and human greed that mar it right now.” The former leader of this group, “Nick,” took an active part in anti-Israel protests. And LUSH still supports the fanatical PLO extremist One World Campaign which portrays Israel as an “illegal” occupier committing “crimes” against “Palestine” and grossly exaggerates the suffering in Gaza. Please write to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism and CC jointheboycott@inbox.comsee example and list of US locations. “FLUSH LUSH” video © JtB 5/6/12:

Will Obama Stop the Bomb?

Monday, April 30th, 2012

by Phyllis Chesler

A very gallant Dr. Charles Asher Small just delivered an important lecture at the 92nd St Y. in New York.

Yes, this is the same Dr. Small who, in 2004, founded the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), which he housed at Yale University from 2006-2011–until the Yale Corporation decided that the Center’s work on Islamic Judeophobia and specifically on Iranian genocidal Judeophobia threatened Yale’s “scholarly commitments” in the region.

Who could make this up?

This was the first time that Dr. Small spoke about this publicly.

Airlines cooperate to keep pro-Palestinian invaders out of Israel; Israel provides reality check

Saturday, April 14th, 2012

Responsible airlines like Air France, Easyjet, Jet2.com, and Lufthansa have cooperated with Israel to keep “pro-Palestinian” rabble-rousers (hypocrites) from flying into Ben-Gurion airport to cause who-knows-what kind of mayhem in the Jewish state:

More than 60 percent of the 1,500 pro-Palestinian activists due to arrive in Israel on Sunday to take part in a fly-in protest have received notifications from airlines that their flights were canceled, the spokesman for the “Welcome to Palestine” protest told Haaretz on Saturday. …

For the bigoted trash that do make it into Israel, the Jewish state’s government has prepared a reality check to be presented to them upon arrival — a the-truth-hurts message that the haters probably won’t even understand:

BDS against Israel fails in Minnesota; BDS is an overall failure

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

one boycotts totalitarian regimes, not democracies. One can boycott Sudan, guilty of the extermination of part of the population of Darfur. One can boycott China, guilty of massive violations of human rights in Tibet and elsewhere. One can and should boycott the Iran of Sakineh and Jafar Panahi, whose leaders have become deaf to the language of common sense and compromise. One can even imagine, as we once did with regard to the fascist generals’ Argentina or Brezhnev’s USSR, boycotting those Arab regimes whose citizens’ freedom of expression is forbidden and punished, if necessary, in blood. One does not boycott the only society in the Middle East where Arabs read a free press, demonstrate when they wish to do so, send freely elected representatives to parliament, and enjoy their rights as citizens.

Bernard-Henri Lévy, HuffPost News, January 25, 2011

The Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions or “BDS” movement has once again failed to affect Israeli policies in order to “help” the “Palestinian” cause — another failure in a long line of failures. BDS’ latest setback known to me just took place in Minnesota:

A Time of Miracles

Friday, April 6th, 2012

by Phyllis Chesler

We are living at a time in history when the demonization of the Jews and of the Jewish state has become a fait accompli. The Big Lies have been internationalized and legalized; the poisonous propaganda has begun its real work as Jewish blood flows in the streets and the world’s heart remains indifferent or worse—joyous.

But, we are also living in an era of unending miracles.

Remember when five Arab armies attacked the tiny Jewish state—and lost?

UCLA Honors Sharia Apologist Khaled Abou El Fadl

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

by Cinnamon Stillwell and Judith Greblya*

Academic self-congratulation reached new heights at the University of California, Los Angeles on March 21, 2012, with “An Event Honoring Professor Khaled Abou El Fadl.” Abou El Fadl—Omar and Azmeralda Alfi Distinguished Professor in Islamic Law and chair of the Islamic Studies Interdepartmental Program at UCLA—was feted by the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies, the UCLA School of Law Journal of Near Eastern and Islamic Law, the UCLA School of Law Muslim Law Students Association, and the UCLA School of Law Critical Race Studies Program. Eighty students, professors, and community members gathered to commemorate “the world’s leading authority on Islamic law and Islam, and the prominent scholar in the field of human rights,” according to the event description. In reality, Fadl is an apologist for radical Islam who routinely denies valid concerns over the human rights abuses inherent to Sharia (Islamic) law while charging its critics with “Islamophobia.”

TAKE ACTION NOW: Sign Petition Urging UN To Dismiss Official Whom Committed Libel Against Israel

Monday, March 26th, 2012

Thanks to HonestReporting, you can easily speak your mind to the UN and sign the “We demand the dismissal of Khulood Badawi” petition (click on this link):

Dear Head of UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA),

We, the undersigned, demand that the UN immediately terminate its association with Khulood Badawi, an employee at the OCHA.

Badawi has proven unreliable as a source of information by using her Twitter account to spread false and harmful information about Israel. She has refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing or apologize for spreading propaganda. It is inappropriate for a UN employee to engage in political activism and the UN must disassociate itself from her immediately.

When political correctness kills

Sunday, March 25th, 2012

by Adam Turner*

Starting on March 11 and ending on March 19, a terrorist wearing a motorcycle helmet that covered his face conducted a vicious killing spree in Toulouse, France, murdering three French military officers (two of Arab ancestry, one of Caribbean ancestry) and four French Jewish civilians (a 30-year-old Rabbi, his 5-year-old son, his 4-year-old son and an 8-year-old girl). Much speculation as to the possible motives and background of the terrorist followed. On March 21, 2012, the French armed forces surrounded an apartment in Toulouse where the killer lived and released his identity: It was a French Islamist named Mohammed Merah. On March 22, Merah was shot dead while jumping out of his apartment window

Ask Europe’s elite: Is Israel’s existence the cause of anti-Semitism and Islamic terrorism?

Sunday, March 25th, 2012

By Gary Gerofsky

Did you know that the murder of a Rabbi and children in Toulouse, the mutilation and killing of a Rabbi and his pregnant wife in Mumbai, the beheading of Daniel Pearl, and all wars and terror in the Middle East happened because Israel exists? Did you also know that Jews are responsible for anti-Semitism because, without Jews, there would be no cause for people to hate Jews? How’s that for reasoning?

TAKE ACTION NOW: Urge UN To Dismiss Official Whom Committed Libel Against Israel

Friday, March 23rd, 2012

A UN “media official,” one Khulood Badawi, paid by U.S. and European taxpayers, has blatantly spread lies about Israel. This “official” (liar and inciter of violence) tried to pawn off a photo on Twitter which showed a poor Palestinian girl allegedly injured in an Israeli airstrike, while in reality, the girl was hurt “by falling off a swing.” This picture, taken in 2006 by Reuters, had already been used to smear Israel, but Reuters retracted and apologized for this misinformation. The facts were uncovered by HonestReporting (here and here). Her UN agency’s, “own website espouses that ‘humanitarian actors must not take sides in hostilities or engage in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.’

TAKE ACTION NOW: Write to the UN and urge it to summarily dismiss Badawi. You can use this sample text: “Ms. Khulood Badawi must be immediately dismissed from employment at the UN. She has acted in an unethical manner, possibly inciting violence, and committed libel against the nation of Israel. She falsely tweeted an image of a 2006 Reuters photo of a Palestinian girl who died in a playground or car accident, not as a result of anything done by Israel. This type of conduct violates all professional and civilized standards. The UN, claiming to represent all world nations, must be held to the highest of standards.” But I urge you to use your own words and keep it civil. Click on this link to send your message:

On the Islamophobia Train: The Rabbi and the Imam

Sunday, March 18th, 2012

by Phyllis Chesler and Fern Sidman

As Islamist terrorists are being arrested in Baku for a plot to attack both the American and Israeli Embassies; as Muslims torture, murder, and exile Christians from their native Arab lands; as Hamas constantly bombards Israeli civilians with rockets launched from Gaza; even as Iran is threatening to send many “caravans of tens of thousands” of hostile Iranians to march on Jerusalem—guess what subject drew 225 eager audience members and the media to an upper west side Jewish Community Center?

UN Official Commits Libel Against Israel With Faked Photo Tweet

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of all the bigots constantly slandering or committing libel against Israel. Common sense people know that the United Nations (UN) is a constant source of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment (same thing), but it is still disturbing to find that another UN “media official,” one Khulood Badawi, paid by U.S. and European taxpayers, blatantly spreads lies about Israel. This “official” (liar and inciter of violence) tried to pawn off a photo on Twitter which showed a poor Palestinian girl allegedly injured in an Israeli airstrike, while in reality, the girl was hurt “by falling off a swing.” This picture, taken in 2006 by Reuters, had already been used to smear Israel, but Reuters retracted and apologized for this misinformation. From HonestReporting (here and here):

Two photos tweeted in the past 24 hours, both allegedly depicting the results of Israeli air strikes in Gaza in recent days, have been proven false.

1. The photo first tweeted by Khulood Badawi (@KhuloodBadawi) and later by Diana Alzeer (@ManaraRam), allegedly depicting a Palestinian girl killed by an Israeli air strike yesterday, was proven to have originated in 2006 and to have had nothing at all to do with Israeli action. This photo is now the top tweet for #Gaza, with over 300 retweets. It is completely false.

Further research revealed that the photo was taken in 2006 by Reuters, and that the girl, initially thought to have been killed in an Israeli air strike, was injured by falling off a swing. When confronted with this information, Alzeer stated that the photo was taken last night and forwarded to the press that day. …

In fact, the photo was taken by Reuters on August 9, 2006. It was originally released with an incorrect caption, and then corrected a day later…

Call on the UN to take the appropriate action by contacting the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs through its Contact page - http://www.unocha.org/contact

Anti-Israeli hatemonger Miko Peled speaks at McMaster University

Saturday, March 10th, 2012

By Gary Gerofsky

The Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) event last night at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario was the worst hate crime and incitement to violence I have witnessed in my years of observing IAW events. This episode was nothing more than pandering to a crowd of 200 loyal “sponsors” and “supporters,” including Independent Jewish Voices, whom mocked civilized values by bringing in a Jewish speaker urging for the elimination of the Jewish State. I am pleased to report that The Never Again Group (NAG) has the evidence on digital audio (click here and here for more). Miko Peled, who spoke at the IAW event, is an anti-Israeli hatemonger who ripped history asunder and provided his own version with Israel the worst villain on the face of the earth. He openly advocated hate against those he terms “Zionists.” Peled said that supporters of Israel would in the end be begging for forgiveness on their knees in front of a “tribunal,” evoking the memory of the Nuremberg trials. He used the platform to slander Israel.
