Man inser varför svenska politikers och media-språkrörs israeliska favoritläsning är ett botaniserande i Ha'aretz för att hitta "en israelisk tidning skrver" och rent marxistiskt judehat. En tidning som i Israel kallas det palestinska språkröret på hebreiska.
Bill är en typisk amerikansk vänsterkork med många fantasier sedan många år. Ha borde ha nog erfarenhet för att ha insett att det var Arafat och Abbas som omöjliggjorde freden, liksom att det var Arafat som stoppade hans egen möjlighet till Nobelpris. Man han vet vad det lönar sej att orera om världen över.

Judges dismiss police request for more time in evacuation to avoid clashes - despite choosing to leave illegal mosques nationwide.

High Court judges ruled on Wednesday afternoon to delay the demolition of the Ayelet Hashahar Synagogue in Givat Ze'ev, northwest of Jerusalem, ordering that it be destroyed within two weeks by November 17.
"We are working under the assumption that the certified authorities will not wait this time with the execution (of the order) to the last minute," said the judges.
The synagogue, which has been in use for over 20 years, was slated to be demolished after far-left group Yesh Din filed a petition with the High Court, claiming the structure was built on privately-owned Arab land. Synagogue members argue that the land was legally purchased, but offered the land's alleged owners a high price for the purchase or rental of the land - however, the owners and their lawyers have insisted that the synagogue be torn down.
High Court judges announced that the decision not to order an immediate evacuation of the synagogue was meant "to allow the certified authorities to execute the ruling at a time chosen according to operational needs" and avoid "inflexibility" - namely the protests at the site by concerned residents.
The judges said that they do not belittle the police estimations that the demolition of the place of worship will bring "riots by extremist sources," but said that the outraged reaction does not justify the postponement of executing the ruling.
They expressed their surprise that the police asked for three weeks to conduct the evacuation, saying that if they had accepted the police request, the evacuation could potentially be delayed for a long time.
"We can't accept a result like this in a law-abiding state," claimed the judges.
Many may view the ruling, and the judges' talk of potential riots not justifying a postponement, as ironic given the fact that there has been practically no enforcement against rampant illegal Arab building throughout Israel, including numerous illegally constructed mosques that have been left standing for many long years.
As of January, no fewer than 57 illegal mosques stood in Jerusalem alone.
The discriminatory situation was also highlighted in the case of Yeshivat Od Yosef Chai in Yitzhar, which was occupied and damaged by Border Police for nearly a year over unfounded allegations of "incitement" at the institution.
Staff noted back in April 2014 when the yeshiva was first occupied that the building looks out on a mosque that has long called to destroy the state of Israel. The mosque has had a destruction order against it from the Supreme Court for many years, although no action has been taken against it.
Machsom Watch är ett gäng fruntimmer från Israels extremvänster, som reser omkring och trakasserar sina söner och döttrar, soldater i IDF, i deras jobb att skydda Israel mot terrorister. Här en rolig video som visar att de alls icke uppskattas av många araber, samtidigt som de bryter mot Ramadans förbud att äta och dricka på dagen framför araberna.
Video shows leftists displaying insensitivity to fasting Arabs they claim to help, as they are badgered by a sharp-witted Jewish resident.

A video that has received more than 90,000 views since being uploaded to Facebook Tuesday shows the face of Israel's radical Left, in a way that is both entertaining and disturbing.
The video is a verbal showdown between Ofer Ohana, a Jewish resident of Hevron, and Leah Shakdiel, a member of the ultra-leftist women's group Machsom Watch (“machsom” means checkpoint in Hebrew), whose members routinely harass IDF soldiers at checkpoints in Judea and Samaria.
Arutz Sheva received the video from Ohana, and has added English subtitles which can be toggled on or off from the Youtube interface. It documents Ohana confronting Shakdiel and two other women activists, Nurit and Michal, who were on their way to their vehicle after spending a day in the City of Patriarchs.
According to Ohana, soldiers from one of the checkpoints in Hevron called him and alerted him to the three leftists' presence, after they gave interviews to a foreign film crew in front of a checkpoint. According to Machsom Watch's own log from June 23, the three were interviewed by a German TV team that wished to tell the story of an armless Arab boy who lives with his deaf mother.
As can be seen in the video, Ohana accuses the three of treason without saying so directly.
Most intriguingly, however, is the dynamic between Shakdiel and the local Arabs she is ostensibly there to help.
At one point she attempts to shame an Arab man who appears to be on good terms with Ohana.
Shakdiel's insistence that Ohana is “violent” whereas Hevron's Arabs are “peace seekers” is a high point of the video, but perhaps the most dramatic - and cringeworthy - point comes immediately after.
Once again displaying her surprising disrespect for the (mainly Muslim) Arab residents she claims to help, the supposedly liberal Shakdiel proceeds to openly drink water in front of them during Ramadan. When Ohana challenges her for doing so, several local Arabs take his side and rebuke Shakdiel for her insensitivity, provoking a groveling apology.
Leah Shakdiel gained fame in 1986 when she became the first woman to be elected to a municipal religious council, in Yeruham. Then-Religions Minister Zevulun Hammer canceled her appointment because of her gender, but the High Court reversed his decision.
Shakdiel is a longtime member of Machsom Watch. A former director of the group once explained that the group relies only on women because men have a tendency to identify with the soldiers at the checkpoints, whereas women do not have that "problem."
