Links - 11th November 2024 (1 - Palestine/Middle East Peace)

Calls mount for Canada to bar UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese over antisemitic remarks - "The Canadian government is facing demands to bar Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur overseeing the Palestinian territories, from the country, following comments she made that have been called antisemitic. Albanese is scheduled to speak at the University of Toronto on Nov. 7 about international law and genocide... Albanese compared Israel to the Third Reich, arguing that the Jewish state was on a genocidal mission to create a “pure race.” She made similar remarks in August. In July, Albanese compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolph Hitler. Her latest public comments drew the condemnation of Jewish leaders across the globe, including Canada’s special envoy combatting antisemitism, Deborah Lyons. “It is unacceptable for any official — independent or not — to engage in Holocaust distortion”... Hillel Neuer, the leader of UN Watch, a watchdog organization that has spotlighted many of Albanese’s most inflammatory comments, agreed. “We are calling on the Canadian government to deny her an entry visa, on account of her record of supporting terrorism and antisemitism,” the Montreal native told the Post. “Given the repeated violent antisemitic attacks in Canada, Albanese’s visit — certain to fuel more hatred and support for terrorism — poses a national security threat.” Albanese has a long history of controversial remarks about Jews and Israel, many of which predate her appointment as special rapporteur in May 2022. A list compiled by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reveals she rejoiced when Hamas was removed from a terror group list by the European Union in 2014 and has repeatedly dabbled in classic antisemitic tropes of Jewish control of government and media. “America and Europe, one of them subjugated by the Jewish lobby, and the other by the sense of guilt about the Holocaust,” she said in July 2014. Albanese was among the earlier voices seeking to justify the October 7 atrocities before the full scope of the devastation was apparent. As the attacks were unfolding, the UN rapporteur wrote , “Today’s violence must be put in context.” In February, she denounced French President Emmanuel Macron’s statements that the attacks were the “greatest antisemitic massacre of the century.” “The victims of 7/10 were not killed because of their Judaism, but in reaction to Israel’s oppression. France & the international community did nothing to prevent it. My respects to the victims.” Four days later, Albanese warned that reports of rape and beheadings were unverified rumours. The Hamas charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and the genocide of Jews. It quotes a hadith (saying attributed to Muhammad) Islamic Scripture that says the “Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, ‘O Muslims, O oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’” Albanese condemned the deaths of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders over the summer, calling them “acts of aggression” tantamount to “murder.” When Yahya Sinwar, widely seen as the architect of the October 7 atrocities, was killed this month, she called his death “quite inhumane.” Albanese is the latest UN special rapporteur overseeing the Palestinian territories to be accused of anti-Israel bias. Her predecessor, Western University legal professor Michael Lynk, was appointed amid controversy, with Canada’s then-foreign minister St茅phane Dion criticizing the appointment in 2016. The position was previously held by Richard Falk, another international lawyer, who shared an antisemitic cartoon in 2011 featuring a dog with a kippah and blood dripping from its mouth ripping apart a skeleton."
Hate aside, her insane claims are wildly inaccurate - Israel has a 26% non-Jewish population. No wonder the UN has no credibility. But of course "experts" are needed to push the left wing agenda

Meme - Jonathan Kay @jonkay: "There are students dressed up as terrorists parading around the @TorontoMet  campus, and here’s  what the university president and his buddies are tweeting about: a “working group” redesigned the school’s ceremonial mace to bring it into compliance with its DEI politburo"
Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby: "Breaking: Students at Toronto Metropolitan University are currently dressed up as PFLP terrorists and have taken over a building.  It continues to amaze me how students can wear terrorist clothing, take over buildings, and administrations do nothing."

While it was not a terror attack, students felt terrorized - "Dressed as a “Hamas terrorist,” this masked man ominously stood still in the middle of the student Toronto Metropolitan University lobby like a statue.  Surreal, weird and bloody scary. He was freaking people out. This was no Halloween stunt but an orchestrated action to create fear.  With a red and white keffiyeh over his shoulders, a red headband with Arabic writing over a black ski mask, mirrored sunglasses and holding a wrapped-up Palestinian flag on a pole that some thought looked like a weapon, this was one strange scene at the downtown campus on Tuesday.  People, already reeling from pro-Hamas supporters entering the lobby and chanting “Free, Free Palestine,” noticed his fanny pack and knapsack and worried what he would do next. Sources say one Jewish student had his camera smashed to the ground, but there were no reported arrests. Sometimes the most effective terror attack is one that looks like it is about to take place. This was terrifying.  “Students were very uncomfortable, one hundred per cent,” said a TMU law student who witnessed the whole thing. “He looked like he was in tactical gear and wearing a headband with a logo or emblem of a designated terror group.”   The video was originally brought to my attention by Meir Weinstein of Israel Now, who made the point that in the aftermath of the murderous horrors of Oct. 7, no Jewish or non-Jewish student, faculty member or citizen, should be subjected to something like this... More videos are emerging of this madness, showing that security seems to have no answer for it... To translate, the university once known as Ryerson and changed the name because of alleged previous concerns of discriminatory conduct, is not taking this incident seriously.   Toronto Police, as is common in many cases such as this, have not yet commented. But Jewish organizations certainly are... “The TMU administration should be ashamed of itself,” said Robertson. “To the detriment of its entire community, it continues to capitulate to the caustic demands of fringe radicals.”... “There are few things as horrifying as seeing someone knowingly dressed as a member of a recognized terrorist group,” he said, reminding that “Hamas is a listed terrorist entity in Canada, and it is appalling that this open glorification of terror was allowed on a Canadian campus. This act was a clear attempt to intimidate and instill fear … We call on Toronto Police Services to investigate the incident and hold the perpetrator accountable.”"

Like, you’re not going to get additional freedoms if you use them to retaliate. Do you understand?”  And then you give them more freedom and they retaliate.   And of course they do! Maybe there’s just nothing else you can expect of them! Maybe they’ve been so completely and historically wronged that no human being in their situation could possibly do otherwise. OK, man, but Israel is still not obligated to give them the freedom to attempt to destroy them. Like, even if all that is true, Israel is not obligated to give them the freedom to attempt to destroy Israel.   I think this is the core claim that short circuits peoples brains. I think they actually believe that, no, you absolutely have to give the Palestinians more freedom to operate, even if that means they’re going to use those freedoms to attempt to destroy you."

It’s one of the reasons that we won, is because we had the MIT scientists and engineers working for the Allies. And so, in an important way, MIT is not neutral. We’re not some global university that exists in a bubble where it’s utopia. We serve the United States.  And so, if we’re taking money from the Department of Defense to advance military projects, and you’re upset with the direction that the United States is going, then you can vote in U.S. elections. But that doesn’t mean that we should be accusing professors of building ‘killer drones’ (which he says he’s not building) all because you disagree with the U.S. being an ally of Israel.”"

Joe Yudin | Facebook - "For all those people who think that there should be an embargo on arms to Israel, to pressure Israel to stop targeting and killing the terrorists who have been indiscriminately firing rockets at our children for over 11 months daily now from Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Yemen, you are either fools or antisemites. Israel will defend itself with whatever weapons we have. So if you stop giving us the parts we need for these precision strikes, the most precision strikes against militants ever made in the history of warfare, we will revert to less precise arms and the end result will be more civilians used as human shields by the terrorists who will die. We will not stop defending ourselves and we will not stop targeting and killing the monsters trying to murder us. If you really want this war to end pressure and punish those people in Iran, Qatar,  Lebanon, Syria and Gaza who are behind all of this to stop shooting at Israel indiscriminately and release the hostages. Pressure them, not us."

Richard Hanania on X - "New poll of Arab Americans by YouGov.
Trump: 45%
Harris: 43%
Stein: 4%
They're tied on who will be better on the Middle East, and Trump is up six on the question of who is more likely to peacefully resolve the Israeli-Palestinian crisis.   The voters in this poll were +10 for Hillary and +9 for Biden in 2020, so this is a real shift.   Interestingly, only 38% of Arab Americans say the US should decrease its military presence in the Middle East. 52% say it should be maintained or increased!  We need a religious breakdown here. I suspect that this is being skewed by Republican leaning Christians."
Internalised white supremacy!

Saul Sadka on X - ""The Jews are collapsing, terrified, penniless, fleeing back to Europe and North Africa... any day now we will put them on trial and execute them."  Coincidentally, this is what the Arab states told Abdel Bari Atwan's parents in 1948, but they were wrong, and that's why he was born in a refugee camp in Gaza in 1950, where his UNRWA teachers no doubt told him the same thing in 1956 and 1967.  This is the false narrative that deludes the Arab street into their forever wars against the Jews, one that they lose harder every time. The great-great-grandchildren of the founders of Israel are now handily proving in wrong for an 8th time, as Israel's population stands at 10 million.  Far from feeling back to Europe penniless with Arab armies chasing them, every army sent against the Jews has fled, they have multiplied 10-fold in 77 years, and are some of the wealthiest, healthiest and happiest people on earth.  As long as Atwan and his ilk keep lying to each other (and perhaps themselves), they will keep losing, which is OK for Israel, but wouldn't it be better if they had a realistic view of reality, which is a prerequisite for peace?"

Meme - Wilfred Reilly @wil_da_beast630: "The extraordinary global focus on the "genocide" of Palestinians - a people led by terrorists, who basically keep losing wars - combined with total blind-eyeing of the ACTUAL near-extermination of Christians and Jews in the Middle East, is one of the more significant and bizarre misdirection of our time."

It's an embarrassment to UK journalism.  This is all because Sky News' only major, regular advertiser is the modern slave state and terror hub of Qatar, which has sponsored the weather hourly via its airline (terrorsits welcome, but no beepers pleaee) since 2005.   As they say in England, "You pays your money, you gets your terror supporting propaganda.""
Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres: "Listening to the media, one could be forgiven for thinking that Israel is the aggressor and Hezbollah the victim.  Never mind that Hezbollah has been unleashing unrelenting rocket fire against Israel for nearly a year—a state of affairs that no nation, including our own, would ever accept.   Nonetheless, the media frames Israeli self-defense as “escalation” and portrays Hezbollah as “provoked,” as if the world’s most heavily armed terrorist organization were a blameless bullied victim of unprovoked Israeli aggression."
