It’s an area that’s usually closed entirely and was opened for the Palestinians specifically so they could harvest. The Palestinians with approval didn’t need any further coordination beyond that. 90 foreign activists taking photos in the trees raised questions.

It’s usually a closed military zone and it was opened for the Palestinians so they could do their harvest. The Palestinians were supposed to coordinate with the IDF. Instead the local patrol shows up to find 90 foreigners there hanging around taking selfies.

Here is a map of settler violence incidents (red triangles). The Black circle is the village of Nahalin, where Lander was detained. Lander wasn't protecting anybody from settler violence. He was in a village west of the separation barrier where it doesn't happen. He's a fraud.

Lander isn't a man who looks brave or intimidating in the best of circumstances. He's flabby, his features are rounded, and he's often pink-faced. But on this bus he's even sillier looking. Look at the old people around him on their phones! He's so out of place.

He's having a good time

As far as slurs go, the ADL was right in 2014 that Shylock is one that’s often said without ill-intent. Like with Biden, a Trump apology would be nice, since it’s still better not to say it. But I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

Residents of the Arab Triangle region in what is now Israel were so annoyed and disgusted by the Iraqi Arab 'liberators' in 1948 that they contacted the Israelis and switched sides. [Army of Shadows, p244]

Would your 2010 view which you repudiated in this piece have ever applied to Theranos to begin with? It seems at the time to have been pretty specific to policy advocacy and politicians, as you excluded policy wonk work from it.

By 1911, the then-recently-deposed Ottoman Sultan was already convinced the Jews would achieve a state in Palestine France, Italy, America, and the Catholic Church issued pro-Zionist declarations before Britain did. And the Turks issued one too after, with German encouragement

On the issue of justiciability which Baker v Carr is known for, Black seems to have even commanded a majority in Colegrove. Justice Rutledge felt Frankfurter was right on principle, but Black was correct that existing precedent rendered the case justiciable.

A while.

Netanyahu playing favorites in US politics clearly is a reason why US Democrats are viewing Israel-relations through a partisan lens. George HW Bush and Bill Clinton did it first though in 1992, 1996, and 1998 against Shamir and Netanyahu.

The PLO for decades was as deranged as Hamas and PIJ are now, and there’s insufficient talk about this.

I'd also draw attention to the location: the Ma'ale Ahuvia farm. It's a little outpost on the ridge overlooking the Jordan Valley only built in 2022, and by some teenagers and college-age young adults. It was demolished in 2022, but popped up again later. It was established in honor of their friend (also a teen, name Ahuvia) who died in a car after Israeli police chased him for throwing rocks at Palestinians. Often these outposts are established after somebody is killed and named after such a person, or in response to the Israeli government cracking down. Either way, it's a spite thing by the agitating kiddies. timesofisrael.com/security-f…

@AlanVRK the man in the tricolour sash was the Frenchman

I see the French guy in the ground. But the folks surrounding him look like his companions.

The author of the Plessy v Ferguson decision, Justice Henry Billings Brown, later admitted that he thought it was doubtful.

Do you prefer "retirement community" Avigdor?

Soon.

Prior to 1967, a common basis for proposed adjustments of the border was modification to comport more broadly with the boundaries of divided villages. If you read chat regarding UNSCR 242 passed in 1967, these were some of the key areas assumed to go to Israel upon a territorial withdrawal. The humanitarian grounds for annexation was seen as valid. So the general principle of Israel folding in Arab villages to relieve them of headaches that come from being split into multiple jurisdictions is an old one.

Righties are gonna emphasize the trans part while softly slipping in the neo-nazi part and lefties are gonna emphasize the neo-nazi part without mentioning the trans part.

1940. Per George Antonius, the Jews would accept Abdullah annexing Palestine and the formation of an Arab Federation of Jordan-Palestine, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon if Jews could migrate until they were 40% of the Federation. That'd mean 6.5 million Jews moving in by 1950.

This reminds me of how Bibi got Zehut to withdraw in a prior election thinking of how it would help the right, but it just led to more voters flocking to Gantz's Party. Many anti-Bibi right-wing voters prefer a centrist to Bibi. Many Winter voters are going to Eisenkot, not Bibi.

Einstein favored Binationalist Zionism but was content with partition. Once Israel was declared, Einstein was very pro-Israel. Look at how chummy he is with Ben Gurion here in 1951.

Abiding by the Noahide Laws is very clearly what Acts 15:19-21 expects of Christians.

Look here: “particularly in Palestine” and how the Palestinains (“they are broken up”) were getting riled up by loudmouths in Cairo and Damascus.

Which of these do you have problem with?

Katz mentioned Nabatieh and lands along the Litani. Litani could mean moving north moving west or both. Marked off in black: lands in the old border strip after the 1999 withdrawal from Jezzine, and the two pilot zones Israel handed over to the LAF.

It would mean a 2:1 ratio, which is in line with what you quoted (so not contradictory). And cutting a quote without including an ellipses is a straightforward violation of academic integrity.

Why did you cut out a sentence from the @TimesofIsrael article? Is it because it would mean at most a 1.9 to 1 ratio? Which is in line with the ISIS campaign? It's very dishonest of you to omit that Matthew...

By mid-1920, Palestinian leaders embraced Turkish-led Pan-Islamism and urging a renewed Turko-Arab Islamic Federation under the Ottoman Caliph with local autonomy. It was mostly popular in Syria and Palestine, but some Iraqis and Egyptians also liked the idea. The Soviets also lent some support to this. All the weirder - the Palestinian antizionists were screaming that the Balfour Declaration was a Bolshevik scheme.

Notably, when Faisal returned from the Paris Peace Conference, he came home to Damascus to find that the Palestinians in particular (though not just them) were riling people up against him and were bickering with the Syrians.

Weizmann in 1920 wanted to find somebody Arab to cut a deal with. Alas, the dilemma was that there was no such person who represented Arabs as a group. Urban Arabs were a grab bag of competing factions who competed for influence via ever-greater agitation against the Jews. Especially in Palestine. The "who do you talk to" problem persists to this day. Otherwise, the average farmer or peasant was plenty friendly.

Emir Faisal, at least in his talks with the Zionists, attributed much fault for the downfall of his Syrian Kingdom to the Palestinians' refusal to compromise on the issue of Jewish immigration and their subsequent agitation against him.

Christians also were willing to indulge in very rank antisemitism against the Jews.

A noteworthy factor in Arab Muslim pro-Zionist in Palestine was animus towards Christians and how the British and the Jerusalemite Palestinian leadership were seen as too pro-Christian. The British did favor recruiting Christians for staffing civil service posts. Muslim elites also liked to boost the position of Christians as a way of using their "legitimacy" with the Christian powers and British Administrators for their own advantage. Many Christians meanwhile resented British pro-Zionism because (among other reasons) they were confused why the British were giving so much favor to the Jews when it should have been fellow Christians who were entitled to extra special favor.
