More than 30 years ago, the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish offered a better explanation of the Arab-Israeli conflict than 99% of the long and empty speeches uttered by politicians and journalists:
Do you know why we Palestinians are famous? Because you are our enemies. The interest in us stems from interest in the Jewish question. The interest is in you, not in me. We have the misfortune of having Israel as our enemy because she has strong allies, too many to count. And we have the good fortune of having Israel as our enemy because the Jews are the center of the world’s attention. You defeated us but you brought us fame. You are our public relations. I have no illusions about this.
He is 100% right.
The reason most people are interested in the Palestinians is because they’re interested in the Jews. Had Israel not been a Jewish state but a Muslim state or a Buddhist state, the conflict wouldn’t have been worth more than a single line once per month at the bottom the news, just like wars in Africa or Southeast Asia. However, since Jews are involved, it never leaves the headlines.
Ironically, this prevents any chance for peace. Too many people are happy to fight to the last Arab just to hurt Jews. The Arabs are simply someone they can exploit and discard.
On this day—November 2, 1945
Arab mobs in British-occupied Tripoli and Benghazi massacred 130+ Jews in three days of barbaric violence. Synagogues were burned, homes were looted, and entire families were wiped out. The British intervened slowly and inadequately.
Violence against Jews spread across the Arab world. Two years later, on November 24, 1947, the head of the Egyptian delegation to the UN warned the establishment of a Jewish state would threaten “the lives of millions of Jews in Muslim countries” and “create in these countries an antisemitism even more difficult to uproot than the antisemitism the Allies tried to eradicate in Germany.”
That prophecy was fulfilled almost immediately. After the November 29 UN partition vote, Jewish communities in Aden (80+ killed), Bahrain, Syria, and Egypt came under attack. In Mandate Palestine, Jews were attacked within hours. The targets were Jewish civilians, including bus ambushes, market massacres, ambushed convoys, and bodies were often mutilated. The war cry was “Itbah al-Yahud”—slaughter the Jews.
The Secretary-General of the Arab League declared against the Jews, “a war of extermination and a momentous massacre that will be remembered like the Mongol massacres and the Crusades.”
The ancient Jewish communities in what had become the Arab world were from there systematically attacked and ethnically cleansed.
C’est avec une profonde tristesse que nous apprenons le décès de la Dre Marie-France Shogogo, jeune médecin décédée des suites d’Ebola à Beni.
Cette perte douloureuse nous rappelle une urgence absolue : protéger ceux qui nous protègent.
Africa CDC présente ses sincères condoléances à sa famille, à ses collègues et à toute la communauté médicale. Que son âme repose en paix.
@GovUganda Indians are indigenous but Banyarwanda are not indigenous. So now they can claim reparations for unlawful expulsion by Idi Amin from their ancestral lands in Uganda
IUCEA Acting Executive Secretary, Prof. Idris A. Rai, has welcomed delegations from EAC Partner States to the 21st EAC Sectoral Council on Education, Science and Technology, Culture and Sports in Kampala, marking the first statutory meeting hosted at IUCEA Headquarters.
@ShaykhSulaiman If you look at the Arab leaders in question you will understand why any sane Jew would exclude them. They should vote for services to their respective communities but never have the power to shape or influence policies on behalf of the 80% Jewish majority.
@Ntalebrian22 There are Bantus like you in South Sudan. Also everything you said is false, pure nonsense. You're insulting Ugandans who live in the North, East and North West regions of Uganda who all are nilotics like the Sudanese.
Yagil Yaakov, de 12 años, fue obligado a desnudarse mientras terroristas de Hamas lo arrastraban hacia Gaza el 7 de octubre.
Nunca olvides cómo empezó la guerra.
@TunaTa0@MarioNawfal That's not how citizenship works. If you claim Palestinian citizenship you have zero rights to vote in Israel or Egyptian elections. Organize and vote in your own house
Apartheid?
This is Mansour Abbas, voting today with his wife in Israel's elections. He is an Arab citizen and a member of Knesset, and he leads a party that sat in Israel's government. Keep this picture in mind the next time someone calls Israel an "apartheid state."
Abbas is running on "change." The West calls him a moderate and a pragmatist. So let's ask what those words mean.
"Moderate" Palestinian pragmatists say they have already compromised by acknowledging that Israel exists. Now they want an Israeli leadership ready for "change," meaning ready to compromise in return. And the compromise they expect is recognition of the Muslims' exclusive right to the entire Temple Mount compound.
That is no small concession. The Temple Mount is where the First and Second Temples stood, before layers of history, including Islamic history, were built on top of them. It is the heart of the Jewish people's biblical, historical and archaeological bond to this land, and after 1967 Israel uncovered abundant evidence of that bond. Today the UN calls the site "occupied territory." From 1948 to 1967 Jordan ruled it, and no one called that occupation, even though Jews were barred from the Old City and the Western Wall for nineteen years.
The Temple was called a house of prayer for all peoples. Today Jerusalem is open to every faith, and ironically the only people restricted from praying on the Temple Mount are Jews. Still, the "moderates" demand total Muslim exclusivity.
In April 2025, during Passover, "moderate" Mansour Abbas shared the statement below from his party, the United Arab List, and its parent body, the Islamic Movement. It condemns an Israeli lawmaker for "storming" Al-Aqsa, and his offense was praying on the Temple Mount. It calls the record number of Jewish visitors that Passover "intruders." It accuses the police of protecting these "incursions" and warns of a religious explosion with dire consequences. It declares the site the exclusive right of Muslims alone, every grain of its soil, every courtyard and plaza. And it calls on Arab citizens of Israel and on Jerusalemites to flock to Al-Aqsa "in the face of all conspiracies."
Strip away the pious wording and you'll recognize the script. Jews are "storming," the holy site is in danger, the faithful must mobilize. Hamas named its October 7 massacre "Al-Aqsa Flood."
Asking Israel to surrender its holiest site is asking it to surrender its claim to the land, its very right to exist. That is not a two-state compromise. It is a one-faith claim.
This is what "change" means.
Which other country lets a man who rejects its very foundations sit in its parliament, or serve in its government?
Again: apartheid?
Holocaust survivor and writer Simon Wiesenthal announces that he is retiring after a 60-year career hunting Nazis. He is now 92 years old and will be 93 next month.
The last Nazi he captured was Julius Veil, who was convicted this year of shooting seven Jewish prisoners.
“I have survived them all,” says Wiesenthal in a press statement. “If there are any left, they’d be too old and weak to stand trial today. My work is done.”
