editor 1 May 2013

By C4I International.. SodaStream is an Israeli company producing soda makers to turn water or other fluids into soda, thus preventing pollution due to the production and waist of millions of bottles and cans.

editor 9 April 2013

By Linda Gradstein/The Media Line.. Palestinian convert to Christianity hosts Evangelical TV show. When Hazem Farraj was 15, he became a Christian. But as a Palestinian Muslim living in east Jerusalem, he couldn’t tell anyone, especially his father. “For almost three years I was an underground believer,” Farraj told The Media Line during a visit to Jerusalem. “I would go to the local mosque and to the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and pray Islamically, but in my heart I was praying to Jesus.” (more…)

Turkish PM says Zionism comments misinterpreted

editor 29 March 2013

By Gavriel Fiske.. Erdogan claims February comments were not anti-Semitic but rather a criticism of Israel’s policies. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday (March 20, 2013) that his February statement that Zionism is a “crime against humanity” on par with anti-Semitism and fascism was misunderstood, according to an AFP report. Erdogan, speaking to a Danish newspaper, said that he knew his statements caused “some debate” but that “no one should misunderstand what I said.” (more…)

A New Muslim Vision: Rebuilding Salomon’s Temple Together

editor 27 March 2013

To cast believers out is a heinous and cruel policy, an offense not only to men, but to Islam.

By Sinem Tezyapar.. The importance of the Temple Mount to Judaism and to Islam makes the location vulnerable to tensions and conflicts between Jews and Muslims. Usually, these incidents originate in rumors such as: “The Jews are coming today to bomb the mosques and build their Third Temple.” Obviously, false accusations and baseless suspicions like these turn the site from a holy place of prayer and love into a site of violent political demonstrations. And, consequently, potential escalation of tension brings more restrictions and discomfort to all. Who benefits from this? Surely not the believers. (more…)

Point of no return

editor 29 January 2013

By Point of no return.. In just 50 years, almost a million Jews, whose communities stretch back up to 3,000 years, have been ‘ethnically cleansed’ from 10 Arab countries. These refugees outnumber the Palestinian refugees two to one, but their narrative has all but been ignored. Unlike Palestinian refugees, they fled not war, but systematic persecution. Seen in this light, Israel, where some 50 percent of the Jewish population descend from these refugees and are now full citizens, is the legitimate expression of the self-determination of an oppressed indigenous, Middle Eastern people.
The website http://jewishrefugees.blogspot.nl is dedicated to preserving the memory of the near-extinct Jewish communities, which can never return to what and where they once were – even if they wanted to. (more…)

Holocaust furore ignores legacy of Nazi past

editor 29 January 2013

By Point of no return.. Two events shook Jews the world over, on or around Holocaust Memorial Day: One, the pronouncements of a British MP, David Ward, accusing the Israelis of failing to learn the lesson of the Holocaust by ‘committing atrocities against the Palestinians’. The other was an antisemitic cartoon (above) in the Sunday Times by the controversial Gerald Scarfe showing Benjamin Netanyahu building a wall with the blood of crushed Palestinians. But for all the furore and the condemnations, critics have been guilty of moral inversion, failing to see in Palestinian and Arab exterminationist intentions the legacy of a pro-Nazi past. (more…)
