President Joe Biden is set to nominate Deborah Lipstadt, the Emory University Holocaust historian, to be the State Department’s antisemitism envoy.
The White House alerted top Biden supporters of the pick, which has been expected for weeks, on Thursday night.
Lipstadt is perhaps best known for defeating Holocaust denier David Irving after he sued her in a British court for defamation for calling him a Holocaust denier. Her 2005 book, “History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier,” was made into a 2016 movie with Rachel Weisz starring as Lipstadt.
Lipstadt, 74, has been for years a go-to expert for the media and for legislators on Holocaust issues, particularly on how the genocide’s meaning should be understood in the 21st century, and whether it had any cognates among anti-democratic forces in the current day. She twice endorsed Barack Obama for president but has on call for her expertise across the political spectrum.
Last year, during the election, she broke a longstanding taboo on comparing present-day American politicians to the Nazis and endorsed an ad by the Jewish Democratic Council of America likening the Trump administration to 1930s Germany. Lipstadt said Holocaust analogies were still off-limits, but she could see parallels to the rise of the Nazis.Deborah
Worshipers arriving Saturday morning at the synagogue on Rabbi Kook Street discovered the swastikas, which had been drawn on the doors of the synagogue.
In addition, photos of Shira Banki, who was killed at a pride parade several years ago, were thrown at the entrance of the synagogue, together with other items.
Young Israel is an established synagogue in Bnei Brak, and its congregation is comprised of both Religious Zionist and haredi Jews. The synagogue is led by Rabbi Asher Landau, who is also a Lieutenant Colonel (Res.) in the IDF.
Yaakov Wieder, chairman of Bnei Brak's Likud branch, said: "We take this event very seriously. The spray-painting of swastikas on the city's Zionist synagogue reminds us of very dark days in the Jewish nation's history, and we must not, in any way, ignore such an incident. I expect Israel Police to deal with this quickly and determinedly, so that those responsible for this incident will be caught quickly and brought to justice."
Jewish law does not allow any kind of writing, drawing, or painting - or erasure thereof - on Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath which begins Friday at sundown and ends Saturday at nightfall. It is thus unlikely that a haredi Jew is responsible for the graffiti.
There is no hope for America....
A University of California professor has apologized for saying "when a woman is pregnant," Common Sense with Bari Weissreported, citing a recording provided by a student.
According to the site, the incident occurred during an endocrinology course at a University of California top medical school, when the professor, a physician, stopped mid-lecture to issue an apology for something he'd said earlier in the lecture.
"“I said 'when a woman is pregnant,' which implies that only women can get pregnant and I most sincerely apologize to all of you," the unnamed professor can be heard saying in the recording.
"I don't want you to think that I am in any way trying to imply anything, and if you can summon some generosity to forgive me, I would really appreciate it."
"Again, I'm very sorry for that. It was certainly not my intention to offend anyone. The worst thing that I can do as a human being is be offensive."
Israelis ages 60 and up will begin receiving a third “booster” shot of COVID-19 vaccine next week, the Health Ministry announced Thursday.
The injection is only available to those age 60 and over whose last shot was five months ago, or longer.
The ministry’s coronavirus vaccination committee voted in an absolute majority late Wednesday night to approve a third shot for Israeli senior citizens.
“The decision was based on considerable research and analysis, as well as the rise in risk of the Delta variant wave,” Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said in a statement released to media.
“Israel has already vaccinated 2,000 immunosuppressed people with a third dose with no severe adverse events, and now we’re rolling out a national third dose campaign.
“We will share all the information we have with the rest of the global community as we make progress,” Bennett added.
By Thursday morning, representatives of Israeli assisted living facilities were meeting with Professor Nimrod Maimon, head of the Magen Avot V’Imahot program to discuss implementation of the new policy.
Maimon told them that the booster shots will be immediately administered at the homes.
The third jab can be administered beginning this coming Sunday, August 1, Israeli HMOs were told by the Health Ministry.
Green Pass Program Now in Effect
The rejuvenated “Green Pass” program approved last week by the government went into effect on Thursday.
The program requires those age 12 and up who enter establishments with 100 or more people to present the document which confirms the bearer has been fully vaccinated or recovered from the virus.
If neither apply, the individual must present a negative result from a coronavirus PCR test taken within the past 72 hours.
A Green Pass or similar document is also necessary for Israelis entering Ben Gurion International Airport and other border crossings.
“The hatred of people who aren’t like you, the idea that something will be solved if only such people can be made to disappear – this sometimes start with Jews but tends not to end there.” Matti Friedman, Spies of No Country - Secret Lives at the Birth of Israel.
The Nazis were able to segregate the Jews from the others, gather them in concentration camps and then incinerate or shoot them to death as the world watched – in silence. We are now back in our legal and historical home in Israel, but the Jew hatred never ends. First they tried to kill us individually with pogroms and persecutions and Inquisitions and incinerators. And now they attack the ONLY Jewish state.
Muslims all over the world call for the extermination of Israel – they learned well from their Nazi allies during WWII.
Churches attack Israel.
When it comes to an irrational fear, Jew hatred is in the number one spot. Jew hating is the most irrational fear of all fears. Cowardly bullies go after the Jewish people and the Jewish people need to develop resilience against that bullying; intellectually, yes, but just as importantly, physically. Calls to kill us are heard around the world. Let me remind you what Machiavelli taught: if someone says they are going to kill you, believe them. And then prepare to defend yourself!
Have we not learned, yet, that revenge societies admire strength? That they can smell weakness: “When the camel falls, the knives multiply” (old Arabic proverb) and they love the idea of appeasement because appeasement breeds contempt.
It is time for all of us to accept that fact and move on. Jew hatred will never accept the right of Jews to be Jews. Jew hatred around the world is at an all-time high. “Jews have been getting attacked in the streets: hunted, chased, beaten, burned, and stabbed.”
Zodiac Maritime, the Israeli company that manages the ship attacked off the coast of Oman, has confirmed that two individuals on board have died due to the attack.
"Two crew members, one a Romanian citizen and the other a British citizen, died from their wounds shortly after the attack," the company stated. "From preliminary reports, the attack was carried out by an unmanned aircraft."
The Jerusalem Post reports that the vessel is a Japanese tanker named M/T Mercer Street. It was sailing from Tanzania to the UAE without a cargo when it was reportedly set upon by pirates.
Official sources, including Israel, the United States of America's Fifth Fleet, and the government of Oman, have yet to comment.
The United States is deeply concerned by reports of an attack on an Israeli-managed tanker off Oman, US State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter said on Friday.
“We are also deeply concerned by the reports and are monitoring the situation closely,” Porter said at a regular news briefing, according to Reuters.
Zodiac Maritime, the Israeli company that manages the ship attacked off the coast of Oman, confirmed earlier on Friday that two individuals on board have died due to the attack.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz and IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi held a security consultation following the attack on the ship.
An Israeli official commented on the attack on the ship and said, "Iran is sowing violence and destruction in every corner of the region. Out of eagerness to attack an Israeli target, they have complicated and incriminated themselves by killing foreign civilians. The masks are coming off and it is impossible to pretend that the nature of the Iranian regime is unknown."
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid responded to the attack and said, "Iran is not just an Israeli problem, but an exporter of terrorism, destruction and instability that harms us all. We must never remain silent in the face of Iranian terrorism, which also harms freedom of navigation."
"I am in constant contact with British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, I mentioned to him tonight the need to respond severely to the attack on the ship in which a British citizen was killed," he added.
“In addition, I instructed the embassies in Washington, London, and the United Nations to work with their colleagues in the administration and the relevant delegations at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.”
Along with these groups, antisemitic propogandists like Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar, and the Squad engage in carefully orchestrated messaging that smears Israel which leads into outright anti-semitism and Jew-Hatred.
Dan Diker, CEO of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, issued a paper, titled, The “Apartheid” Poll and the Disinformation Discourse, which delves deeper into who, how, and why these lies against Israel have gained so much traction in America, to the point of becoming mainstreamed.
Today, Diker sat down with Alan and Baila from the VINnews podcast ‘The Definitive Rap’ to discuss this further.
During the interview, Dan discussed the tactics used by Students for Justice in Palestine, an anti-semitic group, whose campus activism has set in motion the mainstreaming of academia-inspired antisemitism, targeting Jewish students and professors alike.
There’s an old adage, “The truth will set you free.” That is, unless the lies told about you are so big, so organized, and so well-orchestrated, that the truth doesn’t even matter anymore.
The rise of the movement against Israel has been growing for decades, but now, has reached an all-time level of lies meant to delegitimize, destabilize, and eventually dismantle the State of Israel.
From the media, to academia, to the Halls of Congress, the slandering of Israel with the most grotesque lies have led to a record level of physical attacks and harassment of Jews on the streets of New York, other large cities with significant Jewish populations, and college campuses throughout North America.
