Self Hating Jewish Professor Michael Fischbach's book Bashes Israel and disguises it as "Jewish studies"

 

The "distorter" of Jewish History Michael Fischbach 

Michael Fischbach's book review in "American Jewish History" is a vicious screed that challenges the very legitimacy of Israel's existence and justifies the anti-Israel "right of return."

It may not be news anymore when a Jewish professor bashes Israel. But there should still be outrage when a respected US Jewish academic journal publishes a virulent attack on Israel disguised as scholarship.

The journal in question, American Jewish History, is published by the American Jewish Historical Society, a distinguished scholarly organization. Its latest issue features heavily footnoted essays on topics like healthcare workers on the Lower East Side in the early 1900s and the debate among Orthodox Jews over family planning in the 1950s.

And then, sticking out like a sore thumb is Michael Fischbach's tirade against Israel, presented as a normal, scholarly book review.

Fischbach is a professor of history at Virginia's Randolph-Macon College.

He writes that the "settler movement creating a Jewish state out of 77% of Palestine/Israel" caused "the permanent exile of 80% of those who had lived there."

Popular language-learning app Duolingo launches Yiddish course

 

Duolingo, the world's most popular language-learning platform, launched a Yiddish course on Tuesday.

The site teaches Yiddish through game-like lessons that take five to seven minutes a day. Lessons and exercises are adapted to the user's learning style, and students are tempted to stay motivated by earning virtual coins, unlocking new levels and watching their "fluency score" rise as they master a new language.

According to Duolingo, some 10,000 students have already signed up to learn Yiddish – a language that originated during the 9th century in Central Europe.

Meena Viswanath, whose family includes a number of prominent Yiddish scholars, was the project's expert in blending academic Yiddish with the everyday vernacular spoken by Jews worldwide, primarily Chassidic Jews whose roots go back to Eastern Europe.

"We used mostly the spelling and grammar that's a little bit more formalized among the secular Yiddishists," she said, according to JTA. "But then when we recorded the audio, we used the pronunciation that is used in the vernacular among students, specifically in Borough Park in Brooklyn and so forth."

"So many people, especially Americans, are aware of Yiddish. But their awareness is often limited to stereotypes or a few phrases here and there that they heard their grandparents or neighbors say," she said. "I really hope that those people will open the course and start doing it and realize, 'Hey, Yiddish is a real language, it's got grammar, it has a vocabulary.'"

Israel confirms striking IRAN linked spy ship in Red Sea

 Israel informed the United States it struck Saviz, an Iranian-flagged ship, in the Red Sea on Tuesday, Saudi news network Al Arabiya reported on Wednesday, citing a report in The New York Times. The attack reportedly came in retaliation for earlier Iranian strikes on Israeli vessels, as the maritime shadow war between the Jewish state and the Islamic republic has been slowly coming to light.

The Saviz, long known to the international intelligence community as a spy shio operated by Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard Corps, was attacked in the Red Sea by limpet mines attached to the hull, Iranian media reported.

"The vessel Iran Saviz has been stationed in the Red Sea for the past few years to support Iranian commandos sent on commercial vessel (anti-piracy) escort missions," the Tasnim news agency said.

The New York Times cites an unnamed American official as saying Israel has informed the US that it had, indeed, struck Saviz.

"The Israelis had called the attack a retaliation for earlier Iranian strikes on Israeli vessels, and that the Saviz had been damaged below the waterline," the report noted.

According to Al Arabiya, the Saviz is officially listed as a general cargo vessel. However, the Combating Terrorism Center at the United States Military Academy described the 'Saviz' in a report as the "Iranian mother ship on station located in Eritrea's contiguous waters."

It said: "The ship has signals intelligence domes and antennae. It is visited by all Iranian ships moving through the Red Sea, nominally to coordinate anti-piracy measures. At least three speedboats are based on deck, which are used to ferry personnel to Yemen."

14,264‬ Holocaust survivors died over the past year

 On the eve of Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day there is currently just over 174,500 Holocaust survivors and victims of anti-Semitism during the Holocaust living in Israel, according to a report by Israel Hayom.

Since last year’s Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day, 14,264 Holocaust survivors have passed away, with an average of 41 dying every day.

Of the 174,500 Holocaust survivors and victims of anti-Semitism during the Holocaust currently living in Israel, 83% of them are over the age of 80, according to the report. Roughly 18%, or approximately 31,000 people, are over the age of 90, and more than 900 are over the age of 100. Some 60% are women, or 105,000.

The average age of Holocaust survivors and victims of Holocaust-era anti-Semitism is 84.5.

Sixty-four percent were born in Europe, including 63,500 people, or 36% of the total, being born in the former Soviet Union, making it the largest group. The second largest group are the Romanian-born at roughly 20,500, or 12% of the total, followed by Polish-born with 9,600 (5.5%), Bulgarian-born with 2,500 (2.7%), and Hungarian-born (1.5%).

Thirty-six percent were born in Asia or North Africa, with 32% originating in Morocco or Algeria, where the French Vichy regime ruled as a Nazi puppet government during the Second World War.

Eleven percent, or roughly 19,200 people are immigrants from Iraq, where they suffered from anti-Semitism during the Second World War, most notably during the 1941 ‘Farhud’ pogrom.

A further seven percent, or 11,000 people, are Tunisian or Libyan-born, and suffered under the racial purity laws imposed during the war, with many being sent to forced labor camps.

Haifa is home to Israel’s largest population of survivors with 12,100 people listed, followed by Jerusalem with 10,800, Tel Aviv with 9,500, Ashdod with 8,700, Netanya with 8,500, Beer Sheva with 7,600, Petah Tikva with 7,000, and Rishon Letzion with 6,900.

Quality of life plummets, taxes rocket — and New York City faces doom

 

“No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session.”

That’s how Gideon Tucker put it back in 1866, a New Yorker who knew Albany as a former legislator, secretary of state and judge.

His wisdom, as demonstrated repeatedly over the ages, is timeless.

Yet there is something different, and especially troubling, about this time. The possibility of permanent decline and the ultimate destruction of the New York we know is unmatched in modern memory.

With Republicans reduced to hecklers, Albany Democrats, oblivious or reckless or both, are marching toward the cliff in an Alfred E. Neuman, What, Me Worry? Way. The rising chorus of “Stop!” goes unheeded.

Washington is sending train loads of money to blue states to bail out their high tax, high spend habits. As longtime government guru Dick Ravitch writes in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, “Congress has been generous, allocating more than $12 billion to New York state, $6 billion to the city, $6 billion to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and $9 billion to the state’s schools.”

Biden Admin Considers Restarting Border Wall Construction To ‘Plug Gaps’ Amid Biden’s Border Crisis

 

I really have to laugh ...on so many levels ...

Wasn't this the wall that they called "racist" "inhumane" etc?

The Biden administration is reportedly considering restarting construction of former President Donald Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border as the administration struggles to maintain control of the worsening border crisis.

Biden Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said during a conversation with ICE employees last week that the administration was considering finishing “gaps in the wall.”

“It’s not a single answer to a single question. There are different projects that the chief of the Border Patrol has presented and the acting commissioner of CBP presented to me,” Mayorkas said, according to notes of the ICE session reviewed by The Washington Times. “The president has communicated quite clearly his decision that the emergency that triggered the devotion of DOD funds to the construction of the border wall is ended. But that leaves room to make decisions as the administration, as part of the administration, in particular areas of the wall that need renovation, particular projects that need to be finished.”

The Times said that Mayorkas specifically mentioned those “particular projects” included “gaps,” “gates,” and areas “where the wall has been completed but the technology has not been implemented.”

The report noted that the new completed section of border wall is more than just a wall as it includes technology that allows authorities to detect incursions and features “high-speed roads” that allows for rapid response. The report also highlighted recent polling that showed that the majority of Americans, 53% overall, support construction of the border wall.

Massive Garbage Thrown on Road Between Kiryat Yoel & Palm Tree Causes Huge Chillul Hashem

News 12 Staff

Apr 05, 2021, 6:09pm EDT

Updated on:Apr 05, 2021, 6:09pm EDT

 Two feuding towns in Orange County appear to be at odds once again – this time over tons of trash.

The garbage along Seven Springs Mountain Road goes on for hundreds of feet, roughly one-third of a mile on the border of Monroe and Kiryas Joel in the Town of Palm Tree. 

"Most of it is construction debris or old furniture," says Monroe Supervisor Tony Cardone.

"I have spoken to leaders in Kiryas Joel about the issue but it falls on deaf ears," says Cardone.

There are old mattresses, trash bags, couches and more. Cardone says the town has foot the bill to clean up three times, even though he says it's being illegally dumped by Kiryas Joel workers and residents in the Town of Palm Tree.

"It cost us somewhere in the neighborhood of $700," says Cardone.

Palm Tree officials say there's no way the trash is coming from residents, noting the town offers bulk pick-up. It claims no one in the insular community has TVs.

News 12 reached the property owner by phone who says he's also cleaned it up multiple times and has the license plate numbers of people dumping trash, but wasn't able to speak with a trooper when he tried reporting it to state police. 

State police in Monroe say they are looking into what's going on, but in the meantime, violations are now being issued - and Cardone says bottom line is that Monroe isn't going to foot the bill.

"It's a constant battle. Our feeling is Palm Tree is skirting their responsibility and trying to pass it on us," says Cardone.

Monroe officials say town cameras there were damaged and will not be replaced.

Kiryas Joel officials say the property owner should put up a fence.
