How much balanced reporting is there on Israeli English-language mainstream news sites? Last week, the Jerusalem Post published an article with the following title and snippet: Israeli violence against Palestinians, IDF skyrockets in West Bank Despite the high number of attacks, only 113 arrests were made and 101 investigations were opened. There were only 28…
Don’t you just love it when the writer-director of the antisemitic film ‘Farha’ says that the supposedly true story is actually totally fictional? The IMDb website summarizes the film: A 14-year-old girl in 1948 Palestine watches from a locked pantry as catastrophe consumes her home.

Before the Druze gave the example of a proud people, and a proud Hasidic Jew in Qatar is treated with respect amidst a sea of anti-Semitism, Kehati set up an organization to promote Jewish pride in face of Palestinianism.

This story might make you angry, but Shadi Khaloul, who is directly impacted by the story, is not angry. “I am acting out of an ideological position,” he says, “and in accordance with Theodor Herzl’s famous saying: ‘If you will it, it is no dream’.” Israel made a promise to the Aramaean Maronite residents of…
