A CNN contributor who claims to be a Catholic priest made the dual false claims on the air that Jesus was a “Palestinian” and that he was “homeless.” Father Edward Beck appeared on CNN early on Christmas morning and made the effort to link the birth of Christ to the current confrontation going on in Gaza between the nation of Israel and the terrorists of Hamas. But instead of being praised for an uplifting message, the commentator faced an intense backlash for being so embarrassingly wrong about the birth and lineage of Jesus Christ. During the segment, Beck was asked...

Nearly 40 years ago, long before the latest conflagration between Israel and Hamas militants, a bomb ripped through the Santa Ana office of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, taking the life of the group’s regional director, Palestinian American activist Alex Odeh. The FBI labeled the bombing a terrorist attack and early on identified the Jewish Defense League as “the possible responsible group.” At the time, the JDL was the focus of numerous state and federal investigations and had gained notoriety as an underground network of radical militants, espousing a violent form of Jewish nationalism that mainstream Jewish leaders rejected. The FBI...

Citing propaganda proved painful for the Gray Lady as an uncommon step was taken to amend for pushing claims from terrorists. Debunked reports about Israel’s responsibility for an explosion at a hospital may not have stood in the way of Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D) continued screeds, but it was problematic for the editors at The New York Times. As a result, nearly a week after backpedaling headlines brought further shame on the once exemplary paper of record, a rare stand-alone editors’ note was published as a mea culpa. “The Times’s initial accounts attributed the claim of Israeli responsibility to...

Something incredibly diabolical is happening in front of our eyes, and practically everybody is acting as if they were deaf and dumb. However this time, God has given us his word that nothing will come of these nefarious plans against the Jews! It is all a prelude to the Final Redemption and the revelation of the Messiah!

Early Tuesday morning, two bombs were detonated while Israeli civilians boarded buses to school and work in Israel’s capital of Jerusalem. The terrorist attacks killed a 16-year old Canadian-Israeli boy, Aryeh Shechopek on his way to yeshiva. As a continued part of their desire to destroy Israel and kill as many Jews as possible, various radical Islamic groups hailed the attacks. Islamic Jihad posted a statement “The operation in the occupied city of Jerusalem is a natural response to the occupation, its terrorism, and its criminal practices against the defenseless Palestinian people and its holy sites.” Tarek Ez Din, spokesperson...

To the Antisemites Who Sit Next to Me at School My NYU classmates talk about the 'Zionist grip on the media' and tweet 'death to Israel.' To my law school classmate who tweeted, “my love language is marg bar [death to] Israel”: thank you. To the Students for Justice in Palestine, who explained: “Zionism is, by design, an ideology that promotes violence against, and hatred and delegitimization of Palestinians. Embedded in the Zionist supremacy narrative is the orientalist, Islamophobic idea that Azkenazi [sic] Jewish whiteness is fundamentally superior to Palestinian lives, culture, and identity”: thank you. To the dozen NYU...

On the morning of January 1st, 2022, Palestinian Arab terrorists in the Gaza Strip ushered in the new year with a barrage of rockets aimed at Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities. The Israeli Air Force and IDF artillery teams responded with pin-point precision retaliatory strikes against rocket-launching positions. Hamas, the terrorist organization controlling the Gaza Strip, claimed that it was recent mildly bad weather, namely a drizzling rain storm, that — somehow, inexplicably — launched the rockets, not human militants. In reality, the Israel Defense Force has claimed that members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a terrorist organization allied...

The Twitter account of Ben & Jerry’s, the Vermont-based ice cream company founded by Jewish businessmen Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, has been uncharacteristically silent for nearly a month after being relentlessly attacked for doing business in Israel, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) reported. Ben & Jerry’s, which maintains a production facility and offices south of Tel Aviv, was tweeting almost daily until May 18 when the company posted an advertisement for its new Thick Mint ice cream flavor and was flooded with negative responses. “Love mint but hate being complicit in ethnic cleansing and apartheid, so I won’t be...

Israel has no role in the Palestinians' medical supply shortage. The real story is a shortage of leadership -- and rampant corruption We are in the midst of a global health crisis unlike any we have faced in our lifetime. A pandemic has filled the future with uncertainty and the world community is scared, but even dark times have a silver lining. All over the world, people are uplifting and supporting each other from a distance. Now is a time to come together. Sadly, Israel’s enemies are a clear exception to this. They never miss an opportunity to criticize the...

Like the boy in the tale of the emperor’s new clothes, President Trump has once again spoken a taboo truth: Some American Jews seem to be more loyal to an increasingly anti-Jewish and far-left Democratic Party than they are to the Jewish people. That’s not necessarily an immoral position for most American Jews to take: As individuals, they have no concrete duty of loyalty to the Jewish people, and it is their absolute right to seek stronger allegiances through political, rather than through religious or ethnic affinity. But American Jewish leaders, picked and paid as such by the Jewish community,...

+972, a site that misses no opportunity to bash Israel, posted a report about a protest organized by the “queer palestinian community” (hat tip: Uri). Oren Ziv/Activestills.org The queer Palestinian community organized an unprecedented protest in Haifa on Thursday, as approximately 200 demonstrators arrived at the German Colony, a central area in the city, to protest violence targeting the LGBT community. The protest was organized in response to the stabbing of a transgender teen from Tamra, a Palestinian city in northern Israel, outside a shelter for LGBT youth in Tel Aviv last week.

JTA — Natalie Portman isn’t a fan of Israel’s controversial nation-state law, which defines Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people but does not specify equal rights for all Israeli citizens. The Jerusalem-born actress slammed the law, which was criticized as it was debated and adopted over the summer, in an interview with BBC’s Arabic language channel broadcast Sunday. “It’s racist and there’s nothing else to say about that,” Portman said. “It’s wrong and I disagree with that.” Israel passed the law, which was sponsored by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, in July. It drew ire from Jews...

You cannot make this stuff up. Groups of Palestinians in Gaza lit hundreds of tires on fire last Friday during the second weekend of a six-week-long planned protest in the border region between Israel and the coastal enclave. The protesters lit the tires in order to blur the vision of soldiers in the region and attempt to prevent them from opening fire, according to a Gaza-based source. “We have been informed by the Israeli side that imports of tires have been halted until further notice,” Muhammad Hamdan, a spokesman for the PA Transportation Ministry told The Jerusalem Post. In the...
