It will not go away.

[outwoodclaret]

This is a very good question Outwood, the last time I went to the USA about 5 years ago, besides the ESTA, I had to queue for two hours to get to immigration and was then questioned closely on why I was here, where was I going, where was I staying, when was I going back etc, then it was thumbprints and a lengthy perusal of the computer screen. It was such a long winded pantomime that I said we'd never be going back, and we haven't.

HTF did this guy slip through ?

Mrs Outwood and I went to the States in 2011 and 2017 flying in to JFK both times. Security at the airport was very tight but we had the address of my cousins in Long Island as a place to stay. I remember the fingerprinting. We would go back nevertheless if we could. Even managed a trip to South Dakota in 2011 to see more distant cousins and got pulled up by local security in SD as to the reason for our visit. How did he go unchallenged all the way to Texas?

[sinkov]

Listening to the news at the weekend and they were talking about a hostage situation at a synagogue in Texas, the hostage taker was described as a 'British man'. That's all they need to say, when they're suitably vague like that, you know instantly we're not talking white, right-wing, anti-semitic nut jobs here, we're talking ethnic minority nut jobs, and sure enough he's one of Blackburn's finest.

"It won't go away, anti-semitism is still rife amongst British Muslims and the Loony Left."

It seemed fairly evident to me on topic that you were suggesting a Muslim from Blackburn and the Loony Left were somehow jointly culpable for a synagogue being attacked in Texas sinkov.

I meant exactly what I posted BT, 'anti-semitism is still rife amongst British Muslims and the Loony Left', a separate sentence, a separate paragraph. How on earth you have deduced from that simple statement of fact, that I am suggesting ISIS and Momentum had teamed up under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn to attack a synagogue in the USA I have no idea.

Are you on the meds again ?

UN Palestinian refugee agency seeks $1.6 billion to counter cash crunch

UNRWA struggles to recover financially after Donald Trump cut aid in 2018, and while Biden's administration has restored some support, agency says still faces 'existential threat' over budget gaps.

In the Gaza strip Hamas fires 400 Rockets into Israel.
In 2018, Hamas turned away two large truckloads of Israeli humanitarian aid intended to relieve medical shortages in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
The IDF said it coordinated the transfer of eight truckloads of ***** medical equipment through the Kerem Shalom crossing due to severe humanitarian conditions in the Hamas-controlled enclave, with hospitals struggling to treat Palestinians wounded in clashes on the Israel-Gaza border on Monday and Tuesday.
Hamas accepted four trucks of aid supplied by the Palestinian Authority and two trucks supplied by UNICEF.

But two truckloads of medical aid provided by the IDF were turned away when the origin of the equipment became apparent.

In addition to 53 tons of medical equipment set to be transported into Gaza this week via the crossing, the increased Israeli aid included more than 14,000 units of intravenous infusions, 40 medical basins, 20 medical examination couches, 25 infusion stands, 85,000 disinfectant pads and 12,500 bandages.

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman approved the reopening of the crossing on Monday, three days after Palestinian protesters set it ablaze for a second time in two weeks, causing damage worth NIS 30 million ($8.3m) to the crossing’s infrastructure.

The director of Gaza’s Shifa Hospital’s emergency department, Ayman Al-Sahabani, told Reuters that medical supplies were running out.

“We are talking about 25 times the capacity of the emergency department, with all the big challenges and the shortage of medicine and medical supplies that has reached critical levels... A lot of these patients are waiting their turn to enter the operating rooms,” he said.

Increased efforts should be made to improve conditions in the Gaza Strip, UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov said at a UN Security Council meeting on Tuesday.

“Starting [on Wednesday], the United Nations, together with international partners, will need to focus and redouble efforts to implement projects that will have an immediate impact on improving the electricity, water and health situation as a matter of urgency,” he said.

Hamas Government governs Gaza. Yet to fire thousands of rockets into Israel this they can manage, but electricity, water and health situation ??

[Balanbam00]

From March 2020, the Israeli humanitarian aid organization Natan will run two clinics in the new Gaza Health Center to provide trauma, medical and dental care to Gaza civilians.
The health facility is located on a 10-acre area of land near the Erez Checkpoint at the Israel-Gaza border and was built and is managed by the American NGO, FriendShips.

At the time, the Palestinian Authority had expressed concerns over the project, calling it an “attempt to whitewash the image of the Israeli occupation, whose hands are stained with Palestinian blood.”

Since 2004, Natan has sent teams to provide assistance to victims of disasters from floods, to earthquakes, to typhoons, in Asia, Africa and others. Recently, Natan sent medical care to Syrian civilians on the Syrian side of the Golan Border. The organization is also active is long-term community recovery and resilience projects.
Natan is one of many Israeli organizations that respond to humanitarian crisis and disasters around the world. Israel is always one of the first countries to send aid in the wake of emergencies and has helped save thousands of lives. The Foreign Ministry declared that, “No other country can dispatch search and rescue teams, and field hospitals as fast and effectively.”

The Hebrew word ( Natan - נתן ) means 'to give'. And so we have in English, Nathan, Netanyahu' ''When Netanyahu's father emigrated to Israel, he Hebraized his surname from "Mileikowsky" to "Netanyahu", meaning "God has given."

BT: Of course here you would have to see documents ? Nothing can be said without going deep into this story ( post 141).

At the Ottoman census of 1905, the Sheikh Jarrah, Nahiya (sub-district) consisted of the Muslim quarters of Sheikh Jarrah, Hayy el-Husayni, Wadi el-Joz and Bab ez-Zahira, {and the Jewish quarters of Shim'on Hatsadik and Nahalat Shim'on.} take note!

Its population was counted as 167 Muslim families (est. 1,250 people),[11] 97 Jewish families, and 6 Christian families.

Before 1948, Jews had purchased property in the West Bank. Jordan later passed the Custodian of Enemy Property Law and set a Custodian of Enemy Property to administer the property, amounting to some 30,000 dunums or about 5 percent of the total area of the West Bank.
In 1956, the Jordanian government moved 28 Palestinian families into Sheikh Jarrah who were displaced from their homes in Israeli-held Jerusalem during the 1948 War.

This was done in accordance with a deal reached between Jordan and UNRWA which stipulated that the refugee status of the families would be renounced in exchange for titles for ownership of the new houses after three years of residency, but the exchange did not take place.
During the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel captured East Jerusalem, including Sheikh Jarrah.
Under international law, the area, effectively annexed by Israel, is a part of the occupied Palestinian territories.

( What is international law? Is it the UN with that body having some 56 Muslim or Islamic nations ?)
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation founded in 1969 has 57 members, 56 of which are also member states of the United Nations with 49 countries being Muslim majority countries. i e: Example of smaller states/Nations ,and percentage of Muslims

Albania 56%, Afghanistan 99%, Bahrain 70%,Benin 23%, Brunei 75%, Comoros 98%, Djibouti 96%, Gabon 11%, Gambia 95%, Guinea-Bissau 45%, Kyrgyzstan 88%, Oman 85%, Qatar 67% Chad 55%, Guinea 84%, Guyana 6.4%, Lebanon 61%, Mali 94%, Maldives 98%, Mauritania 99%, Palestine 97% Tajikistan 76%, Togo 14% Turkmenistan 93%, Somalia 99%, Yemen 99%, United Arab Emirates 76% Sierra Leone 78%, Suriname 15%

Jewish groups have sought to gain property in Sheikh Jarrah claiming they were once owned by Jews, including the Shepherd Hotel compound, the Mufti's Vineyard, the building of the el-Ma'amuniya school, the Simeon the Just/Shimon HaTzadik compound, and the Nahlat Shimon neighbourhood.

"The BBC must confront its long-held prejudices towards Jews. It is unimaginable that it would take the corporation so long to apologise for grievous victim-blaming on any other beleaguered minority"


https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...-towards-jews/

"When Corbyn’s Labour kept having trouble with anti-Semitism, the Left seemed incapable of grasping why. The party stood for anti-racism, after all! What they couldn’t see, of course, was that anti-Semitic behaviour occurred because of a pervasive, deep-seated loathing of Israel - and the two are often linked. The anti-Israel stance itself stemmed from the political convictions of the 1970s far-Left, the circles from which Corbyn emerged.

A similar problem underpins the BBC’s inability to amend its behaviour towards Jews. It just doesn’t get it. The community was deeply wounded by its reporting of the attack by a group of Muslim men on a Hannukah bus carrying Jews in November.

Instead of calling it what it was - an anti-Semitic attack, replete with what appeared to be a Hitler salute, the BBC accused those in the bus of provoking the attack with an anti-Muslim slur. Yet when analysed externally, no such slur was found.

As Marie van der Zyl, president of the Board of Deputies observed: “The supposed slur, which the BBC insists is there, is nothing but fiction. This raises serious questions about deep-seated biases within the BBC towards Israelis, and towards Jews in general.”

It is unimaginable, given all this, that it would take the BBC as long to apologise as it has for such grievous victim-blaming on any other beleaguered minority. And then, to add insult to injury, to issue a non-apology, as it did last week. Only after their Executive Complaints Unit partially upheld complaints did it apologise, though the BBC rejected the characterisation of victim blaming, and upheld the use of ‘alleged’ in describing the abuse.

There’s nothing new here. In October, Dreyfus was briefly described as ‘the notorious Jewish spy’ in a blurb for the BBC’s Paris Police 1900. The recent synagogue hostage-taking in Texas was disappointingly reported with barely a mention of anti-Semitism.

The BBC’s problem with Jews goes back several generations, and, as with Corbyn’s Labour, the reason lies in the slow but sure percolation of the most toxic parts of left-wing culture of the 1970s. Only when the BBC confronts its anti-Israel bias will it find that it makes fewer slips in its handling of Jews."

"Near Total Zionist Jewish Control Of The British Media" written in 2002 is an equally biased perspective from the crackpot American neo-fascist but he is correct in saying that all the major TV channels and newspapers had Jewish ownership and/or leadership.

And yet it is interesting that the recent stories of entrenched Islamaphobia in the Tory party were demoted by Partygate.
