Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) lashed out on Wednesday when she learned that Israel’s president will deliver a speech next week to the U.S. Congress. The Messenger asked Omar about the President Isaac Herzog’s upcoming speech on July 19th – to which she first expressed outrage before admitting that she had no idea he was even coming. Omar said that there was “no way in hell” that she would attend the speech, adding: “I didn’t even know he was coming.” Omar, who has a long history of spewing anti-Semitic hate, generated pushback across the political spectrum over her remarks. “She didn’t...

Bennett swiftly countered the despicable comment and pointedly asked Gadgil to explain how she would personally define a young terrorist: You know it’s quite remarkable that you’d say that. They’re killing us. Now if there’s a 17-year-old Palestinian that’s shooting at your family, Anjana, what are you calling him?” HonestReporting has since submitted an official complaint to the BBC in which we asked the corporation to investigate and take appropriate action.Origin of the vile lie: Haaretz presents: a classic anti-Semitic method, Presspectiva, 15.05.23. The newspaper does not let reality spoil the anti-Semitic thesis it spreads, even when it is 180...

The two-state-solution is a failure: India-Pakistan as living proof By Ezequiel Doiny ...Since the British-sponsored 1947 partition there have been 14 million refugees, 4 wars and now a dangerous nuclear race... The India-Pakistan partition did not solve the Muslim-Hindu conflict, it made the conflict more dangerous. The creation of another Arab tyranny in Judea and Samaria will make the conflict worse. Hamas would attack Israel from Judea and Samaria as it does from Gaza. The two State Solution would endanger Israel, it would make the conflict more dangerous. The concept of creating "two states for two peoples" was seen as...

Israel will buy its third fleet of F-35 stealth fighter jets in a deal worth $3bn that will be financed through US military aid, according to the Israeli military. “This new agreement will ensure the continuation of cooperation between American companies and Israeli defense industries in the production of aircraft parts,” the ministry said in a statement.

Billionaire left-wing Democrat donor George Soros is handing control of his $25 billion financial empire to his younger son Alex who has vowed to pursue even more ultra-liberal causes. The newly crowned 37-year-old heir told the Wall Street Journal he will broaden his father’s famously woke interests to include issues like voting and abortion rights as well as “gender equality.” He also feels bound to inject himself into the day-to-day political affairs of the nation ahead of the 2024 election. “I’m more political,” Alex observed when comparing himself to his Hungarian-born financier father. He has already visited the White House...

An average of 800 terrorist incidents per month - this is the grim figure of the last year which has not yet ended. Along with this, our forces captured about 2,300 terrorists and thwarted hundreds of attacks, including kidnapping and suicide.

From CNN, July 25, 2022 [cnn.com/2022/07/25/opinions/jews-racism-january-6-committee-wolfson/index.html]: Editor's Note: Nathan Wolfson is the deputy digital director and social media manager at J Street, a pro-Israel, nonprofit advocacy group. Fact: There is some kind of a 'competition' between: 'J Street;' 'Haaretz;' 'B'tselem;' mondoweiss/972mag/mekomit; George Soros - 'NIF' (New Israel Fund) ; Arab group 'Adalah' et al, as to who is more anti Israel. Many using the "human rights" label as a game. BTW, the failure of contsing racist Arab-Islamic violence before and during 2021 Operation 'Guardian of the Walls,' is linked to NIF as police got "training" from twisted group. 27/07/2022: MK...

The latest playbook of the rabid anti-Israel crowd is to smear the Jewish state with the slur: “apartheid.” This ugly lie has been uttered with increasing force recently and it underlies such abominations as the Amnesty International report; the recent commission of inquiry set up by the U.N. Human Rights Council; the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement; and others. Ironically — but perhaps not accidentally — this renewed campaign of hostility comes at a time of unprecedented success and prosperity for Israel as a state, and a time of hopeful developments for the prospects of peace in the Middle East. Israel,...

The longer only one side of the so-called Palestinian Catastrophe is cultivated, the longer hatred will continue to be nurtured, while historical facts point to Palestinians openly supporting Nazi propaganda during WWII. We're told time and time again that we must recognize the Palestinian "narrative" of the conflict's origins in order to understand their pain, and usher in peace. The truth is that we need to do just the opposite. The Palestinian narrative has already become widely endorsed by many in the academia, and the more it continues to gain recognition, the more miniscule the chances for peace will become....

This is a new low… We’ve seen Palestinian extremists like Hamas use women and children as human shields, but today they used the dead body of #ShireenAbuAkleh as a human shield as rioters destroyed neighborhoods in Jerusalem

Legislation aimed at stopping local councils bringing in Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) policies that target Israel have been announced in today’s Queens Speech marking the state opening of parliament. The yearly address to parliament, which outlines the government’s agenda for the next session, confirmed the inclusion of the government’s anti-BDS proposals which would “prevent public bodies engaging in boycotts that undermine community cohesion.” The BDS and Sanctions Bill follows a 2019 Conservative Party manifesto commitment to preventing local authorities from “adopting their own approach to international relations.” It was one of 38 Bills announced by the government on Tuesday,...

On April 30, I submitted to the Harvard Crimson a detailed op-ed refuting its recently-published blood libel against Israel. Over the next several days, the Crimson first said they were “reviewing” my submission; then that they were “interested in running it;” and, on May 4, that they would run my piece “probably tonight,” promising to “reach out with edits later today if needed.” As a result of these assurances, I withdrew my op-ed from any other publications. Then, on May 4, they “decided not to publish” my piece, using the phony excuse of “very high number of submissions . ....

The White House announced on Thursday that Karine Jean-Pierre, a veteran anti-Israel activist who is married to CNN correspondent Suzanne Malveaux, will replace outgoing press secretary Jen Psaki, raising potential ethical quandaries. The announcement drew celebratory headlines in the mainstream press: Jean-Pierre is the first black woman and openly gay person to serve in the role. But her relationship with the CNN reporter raises ethical questions about her new role. The White House did not respond to a request for comment about whether Jean-Pierre would recuse herself in dealing with CNN. Malveaux's colleagues include Valerie Jarrett's daughter, CNN justice correspondent...

In Ukraine, Israeli mercenaries are actually shoulder-to-shoulder with the Azov militants,” said spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. Israelis are fighting alongside Azov, a Ukrainian military battalion with neo-Nazi roots, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday, amid a row between Jerusalem and Moscow over the latter saying Hitler was part Jewish. “I’ll say something that the politicians in Israel who are now inflating their information campaign are unlikely to want to hear,” Zakharova said in an interview with Sputnik Radio. “Perhaps they will be interested. In Ukraine, Israeli mercenaries are actually shoulder-to-shoulder with the Azov militants.” Israel is certainly aware...

Progressive Democrat Nina Turner teased a 2024 presidential bid during a concession speech on Tuesday after she was defeated in her bid to challenge Democratic Representative Shontel Brown. Brown defeated Turner with 66.3 percent of the vote to 33.7 percent in Ohio's 11th congressional district. Turner had read most of her concession speech from her phone but toward the end of her remarks, she said she would speak "extemporaneously" and stopped reading. "Sister Turner ain't going nowhere," Turner said and the crowed applauded and cheered. Turner made reference to the late former Representative Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman ever...

In May she called on Google to express solidarity with Palestinians in the wake of an assault...
