Every Media Trump Conspiracy Becomes a Jewish Conspiracy Theory
by Daniel Greenfield
October 24, 2019

Why does every conspiracy theory about President Trump eventually turn into a Jewish conspiracy? Part of the answer is convenience. Chabad has been the target of several such media conspiracy theories because it’s international, and its Jewish movement has a large number of institutions in America and Russia. Its plethora of locations and openness attract a spectrum of attendees. But the larger answer is that Jewish conspiracy theories provide a traditional framework on which contemporary conspiracy theories can be based. It’s inevitable that at least some of these conspiracy theories will return to their origins and that the media will gleefully run themREAD MORE

Ball State Guest Lecturer: Using Proper Grammar Is Racist
by Tom Ciccotta
October 24, 2019

According to a report by the College Fix, Arizona State University Associate Dean and Professor Asao Inoue made the case that using proper grammar is racist during a recent speech at Ball State University. Inoue argued that all Americans are responsible for our culture of “white supremacy.” He argued that “white supremacists” use English language standards to oppress those with poor lingual skills…“Grading is a great way to protect the white property of literacy in schools and maintain the white supremacist status quo without ever being white supremacist or mentioning race,” Inoue said.

“It now remains to be seen how Erdogan will reward Hamas for supporting his war on the Kurds”

Why Hamas Supports Erdogan’s War
by Khaled Abu Toameh
October 22, 2019

Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror group ruling the Gaza Strip since 2007, is the only Palestinian party that has come out in support of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s war on the Kurds in Syria. A statement issued by Hamas on October 14 said that the terror group “understands Turkey’s right to protect its border, defend itself and remove threats harmful to its national security against the tampering of the Zionist Mossad in the region, as part of [Israel’s] effort to undermine Arab and Islamic national security.” Hamas also praised Erdogan for his “support for the Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinian people” and expressed opposition to “the Zionist and US presence in the region.READ MORE

“While it’s true Netanyahu failed to form a government twice this year, Gantz’s chances at success are not great”

Netanyahu lost, but Gantz didn’t win yet

October 22, 2019

Within minutes of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu notifying President Reuven Rivlin that he can’t form a government, Blue and White began to celebrate. “Blue and White’s time has come,” the party’s leader Benny Gantz tweeted. Their celebrations are premature. Just because Netanyahu lost, doesn’t mean that Gantz has won yet. READ MORE

Buttigieg: US aid should be used as ‘leverage’ to change Israeli policies
by Eric Cortellessa
October 23, 2019

…[Repeating an Obama era talking point] he suggested that pressuring Israel to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution was in its long-term interest of remaining a Jewish democracy. “It is in the American interest, as well as the Palestinian and ultimately the Israeli Jewish interest, that Israel not reach the point where there will have to be a choice between either being a Jewish state or a democracy,” he said, “and there is a trajectory toward that going on right now.” READ MORE

“The key question that has been endlessly discussed is whether or not AG Mandelblit will end Netanyahu’s political career by indicting him on corruption charges”

ISRAEL HAYOM (by agreement with JNS)
Netanyahu, the media and the fate of Israeli democracy
by Caroline Glick
October 20, 2019

For nearly a year, Israeli politics have been in a state of chaos because of the criminal probes. The probes played a central role in the April Knesset elections and arguably were the primary reason that Netanyahu failed to form a coalition despite his electoral victory. Today the probes and [Attorney General] Mandelblit’s deliberations are the primary reason that no one can form a government in the wake of last month’s repeat elections. If Israel holds a third election in the coming months, the probes will again be the central issue determining both the result and the ability of whoever wins to form a government. READ MORE

When Israel’s enemies endorse a Jewish candidate
by Jonathan Tobin
October 17, 2019

At a time when his presidential campaign seemed about to go on life support, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was thrilled to get a boost from his party’s rock stars. Just days after returning to the campaign trail after suffering a heart attack, the 78-year-old avowed Socialist received a much-needed shot in the arm when he received the endorsement of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.)….Sanders embodies a new definition of Jewish identify in which a sense of Jewish peoplehood and support for the rights of Jews is replaced by a universalist desire to embrace the Jewish state’s enemies. Along those lines, he is, as the author of a Jewish Telegraphic Agency column stated, “the future of American Jewry,” despite his advanced age. READ MORE
