DIVERSITY ISN’T WORKING

The news is increasingly biased.   Most reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is pro-Palestinian.  The Palestinians can do no wrong whereas the Israelis can do nothing right.  As conservative Jew Melanie Phillips put it in a recent article: “Hamas commits war crimes.  Israel is blamed.  Of course.”

We are reminded in the Old Testament Book of Isaiah 5:20 “ Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”

The mantra “diversity is a strength” is being disproved everywhere.   In Israel, Israeli Arabs have taken to the streets and clashed with Israeli Jews, viciously and violently. 

In England, anti-semitism has reared its ugly head.  And here in the US racial strife continues in our big cities.  Yet our leaders still say diversity is our strength.

PIPES WARNS OF CONFLICT WITH ISRAELI ARABS ……………….. 20% of Israel’s citizens are Israeli Arabs, citizens of Israel

L’Informale:  The conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to a new phenomenon: widespread riots by Israel’s Arab citizens. Do you agree with Israeli historian Benny Morris’ 2004 assessment that Israeli Arabs are a “time bomb”?

Daniel Pipes:  Very much so. I have written on Israeli Arabs since 1986 and argued since 2006 that they represent Israel’s “final enemy” and an “existential danger.” After foreign states and external Palestinians are neutralized, the Arab citizens of Israel remain as the enemy that cannot be defeated but must be integrated, a far more difficult task.   (“Israel’s policy should be victory,” Daniel Pipes, 5/16/2021)

• The Palestinians are upset because Jews are being permitted to tour the Temple Mount. The Palestinians do not want to see Jews visiting their holy site; they do not want to see Jews in Jerusalem, and they do not want to see any Jew at all in the land that stretches from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.  (Bassam Tawil, Gatestone, 5/11/2021)

• There is one sure-fire way of guaranteeing that Hamas will continue to employ terrorism against Israel . . .   That sure-fire way is to reward the terrorists who employ this tactic and to punish their intended victims who try to fight back.

• The real root cause of terrorism is that it is successful – terrorists have consistently benefited from their terrorist acts. Terrorism will persist as long as . . . the international community rewards it, as it has been doing for the past [many] years. (Alan M. Dershowitz, Gatestone, 5/14/2021)

• Now, with Palestinian militants once more targeting Israeli civilian areas with rockets and missiles, the folly of Mr. Biden’s ill-advised approach to the Middle East has been exposed . . .   Indeed, the extent of Iran’s military support for Palestinian militants was revealed by an official with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organisation who boasted last week:  “The rockets we use to pound Tel Aviv, our weapons, and our food are provided by Iran.”   (Con Coughlin, Gatestone, 5/17/2021)

Pressure is mounting on the Biden administration to strengthen its public stand on the violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories – and specifically, to speak out and act more forcefully in the defense of Palestinian lives and human rights. With key Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez this weekend describing Israel as an “apartheid state,” the progressive left is stepping up its campaign for a pivot in the US’s long-held commitment to Israel first and foremost.   (Andrew Naughtie, Independent, 5/17/2021)

CNN CONTRIBUTOR ANTI-SEMITIC

A longtime contributor to CNN found himself in hot water after tweeting, “The world today needs a Hitler.” The inflammatory tweet, which could be interpreted as a call for the extermination of the Jewish people, was posted to Twitter on Sunday amidst the rising tensions and violence between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East.

The CNN contributor quickly deleted the post, but it sparked social media users to comb through his Twitter profile. Adeel Raja, who has written dozens of articles for CNN, also appears to have a history of posting anti-Semitic messages on Twitter.

Donald Trump Jr. posted screenshots of the “Hitler” tweet as well as a CNN article that indicates Raja as a co-author, and his LinkedIn profile, where he describes himself as a “Freelance Contributor at CNN.”   (The Blaze, 5/16/2021)

SAUDI-IRAN GET CLOSER

Washington is one reason. In a dangerous world, the Saudis are worried about the Biden administration. “Saudi Arabia can no longer expect the same backing that they had under Trump,” says Ahmed Al-Omran, editor of the (very good) Riyadh Bureau newsletter.  Since coming to office, Smokin’ Joe has cut support for Saudi Arabia’s ruinous military campaign against Iran-backed rebels in Yemen, chided Riyadh over its lousy human rights record, and launched a full-bore diplomatic effort to revive the Iran nuclear deal — something the Saudis always opposed.

Given Biden’s broader push to reduce American involvement in the Middle East, the Saudis might be keen to find a better modus vivendi with their main regional rivals. The Saudi overtures to Tehran come amid fresh thaws with Syria and Turkey as well.

Meanwhile, from Iran’s perspective, easing tensions with the Saudis is one way to mollify Riyadh’s opposition to a revived nuclear accord. What’s more, al-Omran says, it could open the way to broader economic ties with the Arab world after a new deal is done. (Israel’s misgivings about a new nuclear deal, of course, may be harder to overcome.)   (Gzero Signal, 5/13/2021)

SWISS VOTE TO BAN BURQA

On March 7, the Swiss narrowly voted to ban all face coverings in public.  The initiative behind the referendum was launched in 2016 by associates of the Swiss People’s Party and the Egerkingen Committee, that had in 2009 successfully pushed for a vote to ban the building of new mosque minarets in the country.

With the outlawing of the Islamic face veil, Switzerland joined 18 other nations that have to some degree banned the burqa. They include Austria, Denmark, France, Belgium, Tajikistan, Bulgaria, China, Cameroon, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Uzbekistan, Sri Lanka, Latvia, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

It is now time to ban the burqa in Canada as well.   (Tarek Fatah, Toronto Sun, Middle East Forum, 5/10/2021)

Nicola Sturgeon is Scotland’s First Minister.   She is singularly focused on bringing independence to Scotland.

• Is Nicola Sturgeon now the main threat to Boris Johnson? She’d like you to think so but in this week’s issue Douglas Murray and I take another look at the narrative of SNP resurgence. Support for independence is back down to where it was in the 2014 referendum and the party has fewer votes than a decade ago.   (The Spectator, 5/13/2021)

• Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister, says another independence referendum for Scotland is now a matter of “when not if,” and that after leaving the UK, Scotland will launch a bid to rejoin the EU. But there are formidable obstacles ahead. Getting to a vote will force a complex game of chicken with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. If a majority of Scots then vote for independence — hardly a sure thing – the process of extricating their new country from the UK will make Brexit look easy. Next, come the challenges of EU accession. In other words, Scotland’s journey down the rocky road ahead has only just begun.  (Gzero Signal, 5/14/2021)

DailyKenn.com — Even though our national family and individual families rely on energy, White House occupant Joe Biden is prepared to shut off more energy pipelines. 

Even following fuel shortages from shutdown pipeline, Jen Psaki says Biden is still considering canceling existing pipelines (pic.twitter.com/TeBU6ZlNJa) (RNC Research (@RNCResearch) May 11, 2021)

Biden’s announcement came via White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Even as Psaki spoke gas shortages were plaguing much of the southeast where ransomware hackers disrupted the fuel flow through the Colonial Pipeline.   Effectively, she admitted that the administration looks at each pipeline project individually and isn’t making a sweeping policy towards pipelines in general; a dark harbinger of things to come.

It turns out that Biden and his gang are no different than the DarkSide Russian gang that hacked Colonial. Biden may be worse. DarkSide targeted only one pipeline and didn’t close it permanently. Biden is eyeing multiple pipelines whose closure could seriously cripple the nation’s economy. Seem like Russian collusion?

• Biden’s decision to deny Americans full access to energy seems rooted in the discredited man-made climate change “science.” Biden, along with many on the far-left, also seem to embrace other fake science tenets such as a plethora of genders (in reality, there are only two) and an absurd notion that race is a social construct. (Daily Ken, 5/13/2021)

TRUTH DIES IN AUSTRALIA

The Australian Museum claims it’s putting on the most important show in its 194-year history. And it’s right: This proves that truth is now officially dead. That is a huge deal for a museum. On Saturday, the Australian Museum will open Unsettled, an exhibition about the “devastation” of colonisation that it says “illuminates the power of truth-telling.” But truth-telling is the last thing to now expect in a museum we funded for generations to promote it.

For one, this exhibition treats as true the “stolen generations” – the myth that “generations” of children were stolen from caring parents just because they were Aboriginal.

I’ve challenged activists for two decades to name even just 10 such children. Prove they were taken because they were Aboriginal, not because they were neglected, abandoned, abused or sent away to school.

But worse is this museum’s fact-lite promotion of atrocity claims.

Its exhibition includes a huge map of Australia claiming to show where whites massacred Aborigines. We are asked to believe that in 1921 almost two-thirds of Australia was a massacre site.   (Australian Museum’s ‘Stolen Generation,’ show proves that truth is officially dead,” Andrew Bolt, SMH, 5/16/2021)

JUST A THOUGHT

After my comment last week that you can’t trust the French, a comment was posted by a fellow Englishman who asked if you can trust the British.   Good point.   The British joined the EU in 1973, signing the Treaty of Rome.  They have since reneged on this.  Now, they are breaking the Brexit rules.  

There’s a famous patriotic song called “Rule Britannia,” sung every year at the Last Night of the Proms, which contains the words “Britannia rules the waves.”  These words were inspired by Britain’s naval supremacy, which ended with World War II.   Sometime after the war, a short book was written titled “Britannia waives the rules,” as Britain turned its back on its former dominions.

Clearly, you can’t trust the English, either.

It was a Frenchman, the Marquis de Ximenès (1726–1817), who first coined the term “Perfidious Albion,” claiming that England could not be trusted when it came to international relations.  Albion is an alternative name for Great Britain.

This reminds me of a British TV series a few years ago about Anglo-French relations.  It was called “With Friends Like These.”

Perhaps the problem is democracy.  Governments change hands regularly – and policies, too.   The US is no different as we are witnessing right now under President Biden.

Maybe you can’t trust politicians?  Or maybe it’s just human nature!

POLAND’S HOLOCAUST DENIAL

Bible prophecy is focused on the Middle East and Europe.   There’s a lot happening in the latter right now, as the following news items show.   Poland’s holocaust denial is likely to be followed by other European countries given time, as a new generation takes over and does not want to be blamed for the sins of their fathers.  

“Watch therefore and pray always.” (Luke 21:36)

 

A few years ago, I visited Auschwitz and Krakow in Poland.   I remember asking the tour guide about Polish involvement in the Holocaust.  He admitted that many Poles had aided the Nazis in rounding up the Jews and worked in the camps, helping the Nazis in killing Jews.

The upper house of the Polish parliament has now made it illegal to say such things.  Revisionist history now says that Poles played no role in the Holocaust.  Note the following from the Wall Street Journal:

“Poland’s parliament passed a libel bill imposing jail sentences for accusing the Polish population for collaborating in the Holocaust or other war crimes, sparking concerns from Israel and the United States that a close ally was limiting free expression and flirting with anti-Semitism.

“American and Israeli diplomats condemned the legislation, passed by the upper house of the country’s legislature on Thursday which would set up to three year’s imprisonment for blaming the wartime murder of roughly six million Jews on the Polish state or people.”   (“Poland pushes controversial libel law,” Wall St Journal, 2/2/18)

Under the new legislation, it will become illegal to write or talk about ‘Polish death camps.’

In Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal, Alan M. Dershowitz of Harvard University, wrote the article:   “Poland seeks to censor history.”   Here’s a paragraph from the article:

“True, the Germans built Auschwitz and other death camps on Polish soil.   But the Germans could not have murdered the Polish Jews, and millions of other Europeans imported to death camps in Poland, without the active assistance of many Poles in identifying and rounding up victims.   This complicity was incited by generations of anti-Semitic church sermons.   Poles also murdered Jews during and after the German occupation – including in the Jedwabne pogrom in July 1941 and in Kielce in July 1946.”

Merkel warns of rising anti-Semitism on Holocaust remembrance day  (AFP / 27 January 2018)

German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned of rising anti-Semitism in her country on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, calling the need to protect Jewish buildings “shameful.”   “It is inconceivable and shameful that no Jewish institution can exist without police protection, whether it is a school, a kindergarten or a synagogue,” she said.    The chancellor also reaffirmed her support of creating the position of anti-Semitism commissioner in the next German government, if her party can finalize tortuous negotiations to forge a coalition.  The commissioner would be appointed to counter growing hate speech against Jews and Israel in German from both its home-grown far-right and some recent migrants in the Muslim community.

‘Verbal attacks have become part of everyday Jewish life in Germany’

The head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany argued in an interview that much more educational work needs to be done in schools to combat anti-Semitism.  (25 January 2018 / The Local Germany)

Dr. Josef Schuster, head of the Central Council of Jews, spoke with the founder of the initiative Faces of Democracy, Sven Lilienström, about the importance of German democracy,   Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and modern anti-Semitism in Germany.   Surveys have shown for decades that about 20 to 25 percent of the population have anti-Jewish resentment.   However, these attitudes have been articulated more openly for some time now.   The internet plays a major role here.   In the social networks we find a verbal lack of inhibition which is dangerous, especially on the far-right of the political spectrum. Therefore, it is good that the Network Enforcement Act now provides an instrument to better prevent “hate speech.”

Unfortunately, however, an anti-Israeli attitude is also spreading in society.   It is then no longer a matter of factual criticism of Israel, but Israel’s right to exist is called into question, or Jews in general are held liable for the policies of the Israeli government.   That’s anti-Semitism.

Germany’s AfD is ‘destructive power,’ Jewish leader warns

The former president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Charlotte Knobloch, has expressed her concern at the fact that the right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has entered the German Bundestag. “It pains me that a party that tolerates not just historical misrepresentation and anti-Semitism but also racism, far-right extremism and populist nationalism in its ranks was able to become the third-strongest in Germany,” Knobloch told the Passauer Neue Presse in an interview published on Saturday for International Holocaust Remembrance Day. “Here, an anti-modern, anti-democratic and anti-liberal destructive power is at work that challenges the prevailing collective consensus” formed on the basis of the lessons of history, Knobloch said. Knobloch also warned of what she described as a “very strong and very aggressive” form of anti-Semitism present among Muslims living in Germany and called on Muslim associations and institutions to combat radical elements in their own communities.

Son of Nazi leader’s warning about Germany — HARDtalk interviews Niklas Frank, son of Hans Frank, brutal Nazi Governor of Poland executed for war crimes 

Germany could return to authoritarianism if the economic conditions were to seriously worsen in the country, the son of Hans Frank the governor general of Nazi occupied Poland during World War Two, has told BBC Hardtalk.   “As long as our economy is great, and as long as we make money everything is very democratic,” said Niklas Frank, but “if we have five to 10 years heavy economic problems the swamp is a lake, and is a sea and will swallow again, everything,” he added.

Niklas Frank said he “despises” his father for the crimes he committed while he was governor-general of Poland from 1939 to 1945, and tours Germany giving speeches about his father and the legacy of the Nazi era.  Hans Frank was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials and executed in 1946.  (Released:  25 April 2017)

Germany’s push for EU army:   Merkel developing networks with EU members for military union

Germany has been pushing for greater military co-operation amongst European Union member states, setting up a network between the Bundeswehr and other Brussels partners.  (29 Dec 2017 * Express UK)

German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen has been working on establishing the groundwork for an European Union army, in particular developing a network of co-operation between troops from Germany and others from countries that are part of Pesco – Permanent Structured Co-operation.  The bloc comprises 25 EU countries with only Denmark, Malta and the UK remaining outside. The move largely comprises of co-operation in training the troops, with the Bundeswehr training a number of soldiers from various EU countries and similarly,   German troops visit their counterparts.  But the plan does not just comprise the army but also the navy and air force.   The aim is deeper European integration in defence, which could already be realised ahead of the aims of Pesco.   The German Ministry of Defence has said it is open to the creation of a single EU academy for its military elite but there has been no firm commitment to such a project due to concerns that Germany could end up paying the bulk of the cost to train soldiers from around the bloc. . . .   The move by Ms. von der Leyen comes after Brussels announced EU military cooperation is a now a “tangible reality” after signing off a huge new project . . .   The European Defence Fund has received its first grant from the bloc for a €1million research programme called Pythia.   Named after the Priestess of Ancient Delphi, Pythia will see countries including France and Italy join forces to research cutting-edge military technology.   The UK also forms part of the programme, despite leaving the bloc in 2019, alongside Bulgaria, Poland and Romania.   A further €90million will be dished out from the EU budget in the next two years as Brussels chiefs look to strengthen military ties across the bloc.

Austrian right-wing Chancellor Sebastian Kurz welcomes Hungary’s Orban, says tensions have grown in the EU since the migrant crisis.  (AFP•January 30, 2018)

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said Tuesday that he aimed to ease east-west tensions within the European Union, as his new right-wing government welcomed Hungary’s incendiary Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Vienna.   “In particular since the start of the migrant crisis (in 2015) tensions have grown in the European Union,” Kurz told a joint news conference with Orban in the Austrian capital. “Our great aim in Austria is to be a bridge-builder in this respect between the Visegrad states and the countries in western Europe,” the 31-year-old conservative said.

. . .  A rift has emerged in recent years between Brussels and the Visegrad group of Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia — and in particular with Warsaw and Budapest.   A sweeping revamp of state institutions by the nationalist governments in both countries have raised worries about the rule of law, judicial independence and media freedom.   Both have been the subject of legal action by the European Commission and they have refused to take part in a scheme to share out migrants around the 28-nation bloc.

. . .  Orban has called immigration the “Trojan Horse of terrorism” and earlier this month called migrants “Muslim invaders” of a Christian Europe.   “The biggest danger today to the hopeful future of central Europe is migration of peoples,” Orban told the news conference with Kurz on Tuesday.   “When I say that the future needs to be protected I mean that we have a culture, a Christian culture . . .   We have a way of life, and we want to protect this way of life,” Orban said.

The Islamic world had the lion’s share of this persecution; 38 of the 50 worst nations are Muslim-majority.   The report further cites “Islamic oppression” behind the “extreme persecution” that prevails in eight of the 10 worst nations.   In short, the overwhelming majority of persecution that these 215 million Christians experience around the world — especially the worst forms, such as rape and murder — occurs at the hands of Muslims.”  (215 million Christians persecuted – mostly by Muslims,” Raymond Ibrahim, MEF, 1/21)
