EYEontheUN reports that Iran has become a member of the “Group of Friends of the Chair”, an informal group of states charged with taking the first steps towards producing a Durban II manifesto. Anne Bayefsky, Editor of EYEontheUN says: “the travesty of Durban II as a vehicle for getting serious about combating racism is more obvious than ever, as a regime whose President is a Holocaust-denier acquires an important role in shaping the result.” Durban II – known formally as the UN Durban Review Conference – will be held next April in Geneva. It is charged with implementing the notorious

From Ahmadinejad Was Not Mistranslated: What Iranian Leaders Really Say about Doing Away with Israel: Over the past several years, Iranian leaders – most prominently, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – have made numerous statements calling for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. While certain experts have interpreted these statements to be simple expressions of dissatisfaction with the current Israeli government and its policies, in reality, the intent behind Ahmadinejad’s language and that of others is clear. What emerges from a comprehensive analysis of what Ahmadinejad actually said – and how it has been interpreted in Iran – is

Academics including professors, religious scholars, teachers, and schoolbook authors are all participating. Palestinian academics, recognizing the futility of attempting to erase the documented history of the Jews, literally stole the identity of the Jews by identifying ancient Hebrews as both Arabs and Muslims and denying their connection to today’s Jews in Israel. Many PA academics teach that the killing of Jews by Muslims is a precondition of

But the Hamas version does something that Mickey would never do: He entertains children while propagating the murder of Jews. Farfur’s appearances are typical of Hamas’ anti-Semitic propaganda, which the organization also exports to Germany via satellite, hoping to breed new generations of fanatical anti-Semites and suicide bombers. According to a 2007 study by the German Interior Ministry on the worldviews of “Muslims in Germany,” “anti-Semitic attitudes were found among young Muslims far

Deconstructing the mythology of Islam’s historical love for the Jews. From Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism: The Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism by Andrew Bostom refutes the claim that Islam, unlike Christianity, had not entertained a systematic persecution of the Jews, with a well-tailored survey of the theological, historical and juridical origins of Islamic anti-Semitism. A trove of anti-Jewish stereotypes that have become the Sharia-based uncontested “truth” about the People of the Book are invariably cited in sermons during Friday prayers, thus assuring their universal diffusion among Muslim constituents and the constant poisoning of the souls of young and adult Muslims alike,
Read More +The following communique was released by HonestReporting UK earlier this week in response to an appalling op-ed by Johann Hari published in The Independent. Since then, Hari’s piece has spread through the media, including The Canberra Times and Irish Independent as well as numerous anti-Israel blog sites. We believe the seriousness of the issues raised merit the attention of our wider international list of subscribers. Please use the information below to respond to this and other similar canards in the media during Israel’s 60th anniversary commemorations. Israel’s 60th anniversary will undoubtedly produce many negative opinion pieces in the UK press.

Read More +In a hilariously embarassing set of events for the detestable Jew-loathing former President Jimmy Carter, we learn today that just hours after Carter trumpeted Hamas’ agreement to let Israel “live as a neighbor,” the same terrorist leader he met with face-to-face vowed not to recognize the Jewish state. Oopsy daisy, looks like Carter overdosed on his stupid pills.
