Explicit antisemitism in the US suddenly not newsworthy when Trump cannot be blamed (Daled Amos)

eretzyisrael:

CAMERA also refers to MEMRI, which notes that Shahin’s sermon from the previous week was along the same antisemitic lines:

May Allah protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the harm of the Jews. Oh Allah, protect our brothers in the land of Palestine. Oh Allah, let us pray in the Al-Aqsa Mosque before we die. Oh Allah, allow Jerusalem to be liberated. Oh Allah, liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews. Oh Allah, show us the wonders of Your ability that you inflict upon them. Oh Allah, show us the black day that You inflict upon them. Oh Allah, show us the black day that You inflict upon those who wish ill upon [the Al-Aqsa] Mosque. Oh Allah, keep them preoccupied with one another, and make a deterrent example out of them. Oh Allah, count them one by one and destroy them down to the very last one. Do not spare any of them. Oh Allah, destroy them and do not spare their young or their elderly. Oh Allah, show us the black day that You inflict upon those who occupy Palestine. Oh Allah, show us the wonders of Your ability that you inflict upon them. Oh Allah, turn Jerusalem and Palestine into a graveyard for the Jews.

On the other hand, The New York Times settled for a bare-bones report about the sermon, provided by the Associated Press. It noted:

In a July 21 sermon, Shahin condoned the annihilation of Jews and those restricting access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The truth of course is that Shahin did not condone the annihilation of Jews – he was encouraging it. His apology is noted, but leaves unclear how an imam can talk about annihilating Jews yet can apologize – and apparently have his apology accepted.

As opposed to The Washington Post (30 paragraphs) and the Sacramento Bee (23 paragraphs) which go into depth in their whitewash of Shahin’s sermon, The New York Times uses the AP story, which amounts to playing down the incident in 9 short paragraphs, as if the whole thing is not worth the reader’s attention.

How did Jew-hatred suddenly become so unworthy of being considered a news item?

Trump should only be so lucky.

Today our thoughts and prayers are with the Salomon family, devastated by last night’s horrific terrorist attack in Halamish – a family torn apart in one senseless murderous moment.
3 innocent people, Yosef Salomon, 70, his daughter Haya, 46, and son Elad, 36 were murdered. May their memory be a blessing.

The Difference Between Us and Them

the-garbanzo-annex-jr:

July 21, 2017: A Palestinian terrorist murdered three Jews as they were enjoying Shabbat dinner. It was in reaction to metal detectors being installed on the Temple Mount. Sure, that’s a stupid excuse, but we know that for Palestinians, and for Jew-haters in general, any excuse will do. We also know that Palestinian leadership encourages and celebrates these kinds of murders. 

Here is a partial result of the murder: 

The Hamas response to the murders was predictable:

Hamas issued a statement this evening welcoming the attack, which they called “heroic.” According to Hamas, the attack followed “Israel’s violation of the rights of our people in Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

Of course, killing grandparents as they are having a family dinner is heroic. And yes, trying to protect Muslim worshippers at the alleged third holiest site in Islam is a violation. Using a mosque to store weapons and as a place to murder people is a perfectly acceptable use of a holy place, right? Probably only those silly Zionists would consider that a defilement of a holy site, but what do they know?

Here is Israel’s brutal treatment of the murderer, who was shot but only wounded. 

Yes, that’s right. He’s resting comfortably, getting some of the best medical care in the world, being fed regularly, and being treated like a human being. Can the contrast between Israelis and Palestinians be any greater?

hero-israel:

I am heartsick over what is happening in Jerusalem now. And it is all completely the fault of the attitude of entitlement, chauvinism, and supremacism within the PA and the waqf. As a Jew, I have never seen anyone actually behave so much like they believe they are God’s Chosen People as much as the waqf does.

Practically every synagogue I’ve ever been in required a metal detector. I’ve had job interviews that featured metal detectors. Countless mosques have metal detectors. Thousands of people could die over this, it could easily trigger a major Hamas launch or riots throughout Judea and Samaria. It’s so petty and small, it’s like something out of the fucking Butter Battle Book. Jews have made every attempt to compromise and coexist, yet to many in the Palestinian and broader Muslim community, we simply are not supposed to exist.

Begin was right. “Arabs kill Arabs and the world blames the Jews.”
