Reprinted from Facts and Logic in the ME (FLAME) “Last week, Jordan took the dramatic step of significantly increasing Palestinian Arab control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. As a result, the anti-Semitic policies and anti-Israel activities on the Temple Mount are likely to intensify—if that is even possible.

Today in Jewish History
From Aish.com: Today in 1881, the first shipload of Russian Jewish immigrants arrived in New York City. This began the mass immigration of eastern European Jews to America, and in the next half-century over 2 million Jews would flee Russian pogroms for the safety of the U.S. This influx indelibly altered the demographics of American Jewry; according to the U.S. census of 1940, 1.75 million Jews...

Deconstructing the mythology of palestinian land
On a daily basis, we hear assertions from pablum-eating pro-palestinian sheep that Israel is occupying palestinian land. This is, of course, propaganda of the first order, since there is no such thing as palestinian land. To use that phrase – palestinian land – is to promote a blatantly political anti-Israel agenda. The excellent article below, by Lawrence Auster, lays bare the...
How ‘Nakba’ Proves There’s No Palestinian Nation
An excellent article by Steven Plaut that pierces and destroys the mythology of nakba. Over the past few years, the term nakba (also spelled naqba) has become the favorite nonsense word of the Anti-Israel Lobby. Meaning “catastrophe” in Arabic, it has been embraced by anti-Semites all over the planet to refer to Israel’s creation, which supposedly imposed a “catastrophe” upon the “disenfranchised...
Learning in Arabic about Jews and Judaism
Via Daniel Pipes: When I lived in Cairo in the 1970s, I conducted a little experiment: What, using only Arabic-language sources, could I learn about Jews, Judaism, Jewish history, Jewish culture, and the like? The paucity of resources stunned me; basically, the best way to learn about these subjects was to read between the lines of antisemitic tracts. It is therefore with delight that I read...
