The FBI should investigate the attack on US citizen in Jerusalem bombing

The Biden administration’s Justice Department recently announced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the accidental death of an Arab-American journalist in Israel. So why isn’t it investigating this week’s intentional attempted murder of a Jewish American citizen in Israel? Shireen Abu Akleh, a reporter for the Qatari media agency Al Jazeera, was accidentally shot and killed while covering a shooting attack by Palestinian Arab terrorists against Israeli soldiers in Jenin last May. The incident has already been thoroughly investigated by the Israeli government, journalists, and so-called human rights organizations. None of the inquiries could determine who actually fired the fatal bullets, nor could they find evidence that the shooting was intentional. READ MORE

Best explanation of why CRT and ethnic studies are antisemitic

AMERICANS FOR PEACE AND TOLERANCE
Legal Scholar Suzanna Sherry: CRT and DEI Inherently Racist and Anti-Jewish
November 22, 2022

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) are extremely important human rights ideals, and educational programming is an essential element in the effort to achieve them. On campus and in the workplace, there has been a dramatic and pervasive rise in DEI personnel and programming. At the same time that ever-increasing resources are devoted to DEI, however, there has been an unprecedented explosion in virulent Jew-hatred. DEI, and its parent ideology, critical race theory (CRT), uphold the racist and Marxist libel that Jews are blessed with an inordinate level of “white privilege,” and, because the Jewish state “oppresses” Palestinians, Jews are guilty of racist atrocities against non-white people. This presentation by Vanderbilt legal scholar Suzanna Sherry explains that the ideas behind DEI and CRT are inherently racist — thus anti-Jewish — and “we have to get rid of them.” READ MORE

An altered state: There is no such thing as a multicultural society
Melanie Phillips
November 30, 2022

…A society only exists where its inhabitants regard themselves as bound together by a culture composed of language, religion, law, literature, traditions, customs and so on expressed through civic and political ideals embedded in the historic development of that culture. Different ethnicities can sign up to the norms established by that culture, even if they are newcomers who didn’t share in its development. But there has to be an identifiable overarching culture to which they can sign up. Multiculturalism, by contrast, means that no one culture defines a nation which is composed instead of a babel of cultures. Moreover, multiculturalism holds that the indigenous culture cannot declare its values superior to any other. So it cannot lay down cultural norms which everyone is expected to share. Multiculturalism therefore destroys society as a body of people with a shared collective national vision. READ MORE

ZOA Deplores Pres. Trump Dining with Jew-Haters Kanye West & Nick Fuentes, and Demands He Condemn Them
November 27, 2022

…The Zionist Organization of America calls upon President Trump to live up to his own powerful words, to condemn in the strongest possible terms Jew-hater Kanye West and avowed holocaust denying, white supremacist, Jew-hater Nick Fuentes. ZOA deplores the fact that President Trump had a friendly dinner with such vile antisemites. His dining with Jew-haters helps legitimize and mainstream antisemitism and must be condemned by everyone. It is particularly incumbent on America’s influential ex-presidents to confront and condemn the antisemites who are spreading Jew-hatred throughout our country now. Therefore, ZOA also demands former Presidents Clinton and Obama condemn avowed antisemite Louis Farrakhan, the source of much of Kanye West’s and other Jew-haters’ bile. READ MORE

A quarter of US hiring managers discriminate against Jews, survey shows
November 27, 2022

A quarter of hiring managers say they are less likely to move forward with Jewish applicants, according to a survey conducted by a San Francisco-based employment resource firm. In light of recent high-profile cases of antisemitism in the U.S., ResumeBuilder.com polled 1,131 recruiters. Twenty-three percent say they want fewer Jews in their industry, while 17% add that managers have told them to avoid hiring Jews. The top reason for discriminating against Jews, the results show, is a supposed fear of their “power and control,” with 38% of hiring managers citing that excuse. READ MORE

Eighteen people at the bus stop were injured in the blast, including two critically and two seriously, medical officials said. The victims were taken to two hospitals in Jerusalem. One of the victims injured in the first blast later died at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, hospital officials said.

Israel must reclaim its Arab citizens
Mark Dubowitz and Jonathan Schanzer
November 18, 2022

The rise of right-leaning candidates in Israel’s November 1 election has been derided by a gaggle of breathless commentators, notably The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, lamenting the end of Israel as we once knew it. First, it should be noted that such prognostications are wildly premature; Israel’s government has yet to be formed. Moreover, it’s worth noting what these observers have until now ignored: the elections were heavily influenced by the 11-day war in May 2021, also known as Operation Guardian of the Walls. Amid heavy rocket fire by the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas, significant numbers of Arab-Israeli citizens staged a series of riots, attacking Israeli homes, schools, synagogues and hospitals. A little more than a year later, with troubling questions still lingering about coexistence, votes gravitated to the pugilistic law-and-order campaign of the Religious Zionist bloc led by Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Is Multiculturalism Destroying Western National Identities?
by Giulio Meotti
November 20, 2022

…Multiculturalism is becoming a key tool in the dissolution of national identities and the label of “populism” serves to exorcise a rational reaction to the great fears that have besieged Western societies for several decades: the fear of people facing massive, unregulated immigration; the fear that Western culture will dissolve into a blob of relativism and parallel societies (even The Economist denounced it); the fear of countries without external borders or internal moral legitimacy. It is the fear of a cultural disintegration that has been insidiously validating the probability the sociological majority disappearing and, ultimately, society itself. READ MORE
