Ben-Dror Yemini is a senior journalist with the Hebrew daily Maariv who lectures about the spread and impact of anti-Israel propaganda.
As the butcher of Damascus keeps massacring his own people, the international condemnations are directed at Israel, which has to deal with Palestinians waving the Nazi flag and screaming ‘death to the Jews.’ Meanwhile, ‘human rights organizations’ are cooperating with this great deception.
Hello neighbors. We want you to live alongside us in peace, prosperity, welfare and independence, but your leaders constantly choose to perpetuate the problem rather than solve it. Our hand is offered in peace, please accept it.
We already know there is an automatic majority against Israel in the United Nations Human Rights Council.
The former prime minister is truly convinced that it wasn’t Palestinian President Abbas who thwarted his peace proposal, but rather his own political rivals. In an odd and puzzling campaign, he is refusing to hold the Palestinians accountable and pointing the finger at everyone else.
The ‘forces of progress’ are repeatedly encouraging the Palestinians to radicalize their stance; they are turning the ‘right of return’ into the most important thing, although there is no such right and although it’s clear that the actual demand for such a right is an obstacle to peace.
Different politicians wouldn’t have been able to bear the shame following the long list of reports about sexual harassment, illicit gifts, and embarrassing behavior. But Trump and Netanyahu? Don’t make them laugh, they just blame the media.
Looking at a conflict requires us to understand the different sides, to understand the pain; but when it comes to the Palestinians, the more we understand them—the more we bolster their rejectionism and perpetuate their delusions.
Mahmoud Abbas’ scathing speech was mostly a gift to the Israeli rightists who wants one big state; the Palestinian president is making it clear that he’s not a partner, that he refuses to recognize the Jews’ right to self-determination and that he is trapped in hallucinations, illusions, and lies.
According to serious reports and European court rulings from recent years, Eritreans returning to their country are no longer in danger of being tortured; now that the situation has changed, there’s no need to deport them—there’s a need to return them.
When senior members of the ruling party conflate a demand to apply Israeli law to the settlements with unlimited construction in Judea and Samaria, who needs the anti-Israel boycott movement?
The letter signed by 12th graders refusing to serve in the IDF was encouraged by Mesarvot, an organization so radical that even the New Israel Fund won’t support it; this brainwashing is funded by the Refusal Solidarity Network, an IRS-recognized American body whose board members include BDS supporters.
Ahed Tamimi’s success in the Western public opinion stems from the fact that she doesn’t look like a typical Muslim or Palestinian woman; she generates sympathy because she looks like the daughter of the white family next door. As long as she delivers the goods, the clear racist aspect in this ability to identify with her doesn’t really matter.
Anyone paying attention to the discourse developing in the Right in general, and in Likud in particular, knows that the frustration there is on the rise; the things being said about Netanyahu, and not just behind closed doors, are far from expressions of unconditional support.
Israel was widely condemned over the death of the ‘innocent’ double-amputee Ibrahim Abu Thuraya in Gaza protests. But digging into his history shows he was a member of a terror group that morphed into Hamas and an agitator who wanted to ‘die a martyr.’
The defense minister should be reminded that a boycott against Wadi Ara’s residents would be the biggest victory for Sheikh Raed Salah’s supporters, as that is exactly what they want: More animosity and more hostility between Jews and Arabs.
