New Israeli report: More lies about anti-Semitism

Israel always wants to claim that all its crimes and achievements are Jewish crimes and achievements, and that therefore anyone who condemns Israel's crimes is condemning all Jews. But principled critics of Israel must and do insist that Israel's crimes are not committed in the name of all Jews.

Yet two groups share an interest in erasing the distinction between Israel, on the one hand, and Jews individually and collectively, on the other.

The first group is anti-Semites who want to seize on Israel's crimes to justify their bigotry against Jews - such people are not motivated by genuine solidarity with Palestinians. The second group is Israel and its supporters around the world, who - by implicating Jews in Israel's crimes - want to use Jews and genuine concern about anti-Semitism as a shield for Israel.

By crying wolf, this second group harms the struggle against real anti-Jewish bigotry, which all anti-racists must support. In that spirit, Israel published a report on Wednesday claiming to "unmask" the BDS - boycott, divestment and sanctions - movement as inherently anti-Semitic.

Comment: Presenting all Jews as victims, Israel hammers its repetitive anti-Semitism message regardless if truth or lie, until distortion and blame conflate into an accepted belief by its targets as well as its people. As Israel well knows, a controlled belief - both internal and external - has many uses.

German car fan page starts debate on climate change, but shuts it down after hundreds of thousands join to bash notion it's man-made

Whatever reaction the supporters of Swedish activist Greta Thunberg expected from her UN tour and speech, it seems that it's become more difficult to hold a civilized climate change debate - even on German Facebook.

Home of the iconic Nurburgring racetrack, thousands of kilometers or pristine autobahn, and megafactories that produce thrumming masterpieces of diesel engines, Germany is Europe's automotive mecca. But it's also a liberal country where talk of climate change is taken seriously and ecological guilt reigns.

Comment: Among its liberal elites, as in every other Western country. But most Germans don't buy the nonsense, as evidenced by the fact this 'debate' was bombarded with humor and facts.

Amid these brewing tensions, car fans who see their passion under threat from the environmental lobby banded together this week on a Facebook group entitled 'Fridays for Displacement,' a play on the 'Fridays for Future' school strike movement started by Thunberg last year.

Comment: Greta is the face being used to whip up the masses, which allows her globalist handlers to manoeuver in the background.

Sweden could drop ancient history from school curriculum in favor of gender roles & postmodernism

Swedish state schools may drop ancient and medieval history from the curriculum to make room for postmodernism and "democratic values," according to a controversial new proposal that has enraged many Swedes, local media reports.

The history of "ancient civilizations, from prehistoric times to around 1700" is absent in a proposed new curriculum for Swedish state primary schools in favor of focus on modern history and social sciences, Anna Westerholm, the Swedish National Agency for Education's curriculum department head, told Svenska Dagbladet on Thursday. Tight class schedules leave no room for it, she said.

History has already been de-prioritized through "extensive deletions," according to SvD, and formative eras like the Roman Empire and the Viking Age will now be removed altogether in favor of subjects like immigration, the environment, climate, "norm-challenging," critical theory, "democratic values," and gender roles. The emphasis will be on a "postmodernist view" of society, rather than the classical philosophical tradition, SvD reports, and history classes will focus on Western colonialism, nationalism, and the slave trade.

Westerholm reasoned that trying to squeeze too much history into the school year often forces teachers to cut off instruction before they even make it to World War II - meaning they miss out on learning about the post-war period. Additionally, teachers and students have complained that grading criteria are "difficult to interpret" and "long and complicated."

Israel plays the security card as a means to effect forcible transfer of local Palestinians - the Hebron story

For 25 years, Israel has been openly pursuing a policy of segregation in the center of Hebron, in order to allow a handful of Jewish residents to live as though they had not settled in the middle of a bustling Palestinian city, in the heart of an occupied territory. This policy completely ignores the needs of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and sentences them to an unbearable reality, with the hope that they will leave their homes ostensibly of their own free will.

Due to the settlers' presence in the city, Israel and the PLO did not sign an agreement concerning Hebron until 1997, two years after the Oslo Accords were signed. Under the terms of the agreement, the city was divided in two: In Area H1, which was home to about 115,000 Palestinians at the time, security and civilian powers were formally transferred to the Palestinian Authority (PA) as in other West Bank cities. Area H2, which includes the Old City and all the settlement points and was home to some 35,000 Palestinians and 500 settlers at the time, remained under Israeli control in terms of security, while the PA was given civilian powers relating to Palestinian residents only.

The move means that cooking shashlik (a version of shish kebab popular in Russia and former Soviet republics) without having to go outside or having a bonfire will no longer be permitted.

Russia has tightened up its fire safety rules, banning people from barbecuing on their balconies. Smokers will also be affected.

The government has answered a plea by the Emergencies Ministry and amended the fire prevention regulations, making the use of an open fire on the balconies of apartments, dormitories, and hotels rooms illegal. The new rules will go into force within the next ten days.

The move means that cooking shashlik (a version of shish kebab popular in Russia and former Soviet republics) without having to go outside or having a bonfire will no longer be permitted. And it was actually a thing in the country. Numerous tutorials on how to make the best barbecue at your balcony can still be found on online.

Doctors & drugs FOR LIFE: Big Pharma's profit on the transgender craze

RT
Fri, 27 Sep 2019 15:45 UTC

For trans people, the quest to create the body that matches their perceptions is a life devoted to drugs and doctors. For Big Pharma, the challenge is to serve the interests of this group without being blinded by big profit.

Western society is currently witnessing something of a medical revolution, which many have denounced as a dangerous experiment, whereby individuals, acting as their own medical experts, readily self-diagnose themselves as 'transgender.' What often follows is a regimen of powerful drugs and radical surgical techniques in order to 'fix the gender' they were mistakenly 'assigned' at birth.

Has mankind finally outsmarted Mother Nature?

While it is still too early to answer that question, one thing remains clear: members of the growing transgender demographic who opt to undergo 'gender confirmation surgery' inherit a lifetime relationship with the medical industrial complex. And, as is the case with most medical treatment in the United States, those services do not come cheap.

The Neo-Cultural Revolution: German basketball club drops award-winning cheerleaders because feminism

A German basketball club has announced it no longer needs "attractive break fillers" and that it is ditching its cheerleading team for the season.

Basketball Bundesliga club Alba Berlin decided to axe the cheerleading team with the explanation that "is no longer appropriate to our time."

"We have come to the conclusion that the appearance of young women as attractive break fillers at sporting events is no longer appropriate to our time," Alba Berlin said in a statement.

Comment: Notice how cultures are being eroded world-wide by feminists and PC fanatics. Fewer people are going to sporting events, movies, attending higher education, etc. because all facets of our lives are being invaded by over-zealous, power-hungry, control freaks. Mao's cultural Revolution in China sought the same, and the results led to massive atrocity. Such are the consequences when you strangle creativity and choice in favor of control and power.

Idiot ADL adds OK hand symbol to online database of 'hate' symbols

RT
Fri, 27 Sep 2019 17:10 UTC

The Anti-Defamation League has added the thumb-and-forefinger "OK" hand symbol to its online "Hate on Display" database, where it sits alongside Klan robes, swastikas, and other inflammatory memes - just as 4chan intended.

The gesture - which the ADL claimed is a signal for "white power" - joined the group's ever-lengthening list of hate symbols along with 35 other memes, including the bowl haircut sported by Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof, the Jewish-stereotype cartoon of the "Happy Merchant," and the slogan "It's OK to be white." The list has 214 entries, from the obvious (burning crosses) to the bizarre (over a dozen numbers including 12, 13, 14, 28, 109, and 110).

Explaining that OK is "used by many on the right - not just extremists - for the purpose of trolling liberals" as well as purportedly expressing support for white supremacy, the group warns would-be hate-hunters that "caution must be used in evaluating instances of this symbol's use." The ADL plans to distribute a brochure including the new symbols and their descriptions to law enforcement and school districts around the country.

The move represented a reversal for the ADL, which released a statement in 2017 explaining that the symbol was a "popular trolling gesture" with its origins in a prank devised by posters on the anonymous message board 4chan.

Comment: The ADL was never a credible organization.

Police locate Jeffrey Epstein's 'missing' French associate Jean-Luc Brunel in South America

Police have "geolocated" a French friend and former associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in South America after he went "missing" in the wake of the disgraced American financier's death, say French reports.

Jean-Luc Brunel, 74, a model scout who founded the Miami-based MC2 model agency with financial help from Epstein, dropped from sight after his friend's death from apparent suicide in a US prison in August.

In 2015 he denied any involvement in Epstein's alleged offences. French prosecutors have not named him and he has not been charged with any crimes.

On Tuesday, they announced that they had searched Karin Models, an agency he founded in 1978.

Le Parisien said that police had tracked Mr Brunel to South America although they gave no indication of which country.

Polls show Corbyn is the most unpopular opposition leader since 1977

Even before the hammer blow of yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, it was for many a damning indictment on Jeremy Corbyn and Labour, that in a time of such disarray and division in the (now minority) government, that they are still behind in the polls and showing no real signs of being able to beat Boris Johnson and the Tories in an election.

As Statista's Martin Armstrong points out, this situation is now also underscored by historic survey analysis by Ipsos MORI. Going all the way back to 1977, there hasn't been a leader of the opposition which has inspired so little confidence among the British public.

Comment: The statistics should come as no surprise considering Corbyn's announcement to hold a second referendum if he wins an election.
