[ Arabs cannot help themselves. Once they became Muslims and they learned about hating Jews, for being Jews......nothing else matters. Will they be willing to return TransJordan to the Jewish People? I do not think so ]

A group of Jordanian MPs have called for the expulsion of Israel’s ambassador in Amman, citing “Israeli massacres against the brotherly Palestinians.”

In a memorandum, signed by 66 lawmakers from the 130-strong Lower House, signatories also called on the government to recall Jordan’s ambassador from Tel Aviv and “adopt a firm position toward the ‘Zionist’ occupation’s crimes and massacres against Palestinians in Nablus, Jenin, Ramallah, Jerusalem and elsewhere across the Palestinian territories.”

The memo, seen by Arab News, initiated by veteran MP Khalil Attiyeh, also said that the “Israeli massacre of the Palestinians, the latest in Nablus (in the occupied West Bank), are (sic) posing a direct threat to Jordan’s security and stability.”

At least six Palestinians were reportedly killed and dozens others were injured by Israeli forces during a raid on Tuesday in Nablus, the deadliest day for Palestinians this year.

The Israel Defense Forces said that snipers and soldiers with shoulder-mounted missiles participated in the operation.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, five people were killed in the old city of Nablus during the Israeli raid, while a sixth was killed in Nabi Saleh, north of Ramallah, by Israeli live fire during a demonstration against the Nablus operation.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the killings as a war crime and called on the US to stop Israeli aggression in the West Bank before things reach a critical point, the presidency’s spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said.

The IDF said it was targeting the Lion’s Den, a new militant group, which analysts say was formed in Nablus this year by young men belonging to no Palestinian organization and with no distinctive ideology.

“With its ongoing terrorism and violence against the brotherly Palestinians, Israel has proved to be unreliable peace partner,” the Jordanian MPs said, calling on the government to terminate the 1994 Wadi Araba Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty.

The Palestinian Parliament hailed the Jordanian MPs’ appeal to expel the Israeli ambassador, urging other Arab and Islamic parliaments to pressure their countries’ governments to end relations with Israel.

Jordanian lawmakers have previously submitted similar petitions to the government to expel the Israeli ambassador in Amman.

Jenin, dubbed the Palestinian “terror capital” by observers, has been in the news for the past few months as Israel continues to carry out counter-terrorism operations in a bid to save Israeli lives and prevent the actions of those who seek to harm the Jewish state.

But while Jenin is constantly being mentioned in the media, how much do we really know about Jenin?

In this series, we will take a look at different Jenin-related topics and hopefully provide a multi-faceted understanding of the city at the center of the current rise in violence and terrorism.

This is ‘Spotlight on Jenin.’

In this piece, we will take a look at the relationship between the two key Palestinian terror hubs of Jenin and Nablus.

A History of Violence: Jenin and Nablus From 1936 to the Present​

Both Jenin and Nablus are located in the northern West Bank, with Nablus lying approximately 26 km (13 miles) south of Jenin.

Even before the State of Israel was created, there was a violent connection between these two cities.

During the Arab revolt of 1936-1939, when Arab brigands attacked both British forces and Jewish civilians, Jenin and Nablus made up two points of what was termed “the triangle of terror.”

Fifty years later, during the First Intifada (1987-1993), both Jenin and Nablus were used by Palestinian terror groups as launching pads for attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians.

Similarly, during the Second Intifada (2000-2005), both cities became central hubs of Palestinian terror activity. Both Jenin and Nablus were responsible for the majority of suicide bombers during this time, with Jenin serving as the base for over a third of all suicide bombers.

In fact, due to their reputations for violence and terrorism, each city gained a nickname during the Second Intifada: Nablus became known as the “capital of terror” while Jenin was referred to as the “martyrs’ capital.”

A landmark medical conference in Morocco in recent days brought together local cancer specialists and experts from Israel, and all in a Jewish museum.

The three-day event, which concluded on Sunday, was titled “Tomorrow’s Medicine as a Bridge for Peace.” Discussions among the 60 participants focused on hopes that the 2020 normalization between Israel and Morocco will spur greater medical cooperation.

It took place in the western port city of Essaouira, known for its rich Jewish history and for the Bayt Dakira (House of Memory) Jewish museum, where the gathering took place. The museum, which opened in 2020, is dedicated to the historic coexistence of the city’s Jewish and Muslim communities.

ranian news site Tasnim News reports:

The Deputy Secretary-General of Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi, said that the Bahraini regime seeks to Judaize the country and obliterate the identity of the capital, Manama, "which is known for its authentic history," saying that Bahrain is the second country to be occupied by Israel through the purchase of real estate.

In his speech during the "Day of Betrayal" organized by Al-Wefaq in the Lebanese capital Beirut on the occasion of the second anniversary of the signing of the normalization agreement with the Israeli entity, Al-Daihi stressed that the people of Bahrain stand by the side of Palestine and its resistant people .

Al-Daihi affirmed that Palestine will remain the cause of the Bahrainis “no matter how the Bahraini regime tries to put its hand in the hands of this pariah entity, and they handed it the reins of everything,” explaining that the regime opened to “this pariah entity with open arms, they welcomed it everywhere,” warning that this entity is ephemeral and temporary, “and whoever stands by it will disappear with it.”

During his speech, he denounced the regime's work to establish a Jewish identity on the land of Bahrain and in the capital, Manama, "this ancient and authentic capital, known for its authentic history, filled with good, Islamic, and other landmarks. Today, the regime wants the Jews of this capital, and gave them a large part of our land in the capital under the title "Reviving the Jewish neighborhood in the capital, Manama," and turning evasively towards those who want to buy the lands of some residents of the capital, Manama, with forged addresses, with Zionist companies and individuals, who wanted to buy lands from the capital to give it to the Jews, to revive a neighborhood and a synagogue for Jews that have no effect and no presence in the capital.

Note that he makes no distinction between relations with Israel and "Judaization." Because there is no difference - they hate Israel because they hate Jews, not the other way around.

In the middle of the the article “The Fastest Woman in This Year’s New York City Marathon Is Israeli”, the Times relayed several of Salpeter’s races and how she inspires many Israelis. Because of the paper’s ingrained anti-Zionist culture, it inserted a libel as an appropriate transition.

Despite Salpeter never saying anything about being subject to racism in Israel, the Times inserted “While she declined to directly address facing racism in Israel, Salpeter has not always felt universal support as an East African immigrant.“

------------
At the same time, the paper has not published an article about the Palestinian Arabs beheading a gay Arab. It has not written about the Algiers Declaration, signed a few weeks ago that will allow terrorist groups including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad to participate in elections.


For The NY Times, there is a single narrative: the Jewish State is irredeemable on multiple levels and that Arabs are forever innocent. And it will tell you that repeatedly, even when describing a Black Israeli woman competing in the New York City marathon, lest a reader jump to the wrong conclusion that Israel – alone in the Middle East – is a multi-ethnic liberal democracy.

Were the Afro-Palestinians slaves?​

Last week one of the most famous black Palestinians, Fatima Bernawi - who was imprisoned for trying to explode a bomb in a Jerusalem movie theater - died. She was buried in a large ceremony in Gaza.

Most articles about "Afro-Palestinians" say a version of this legend of how they arrived:

Devout Muslims, Africans from countries such as Chad, Sudan, Nigeria and Senegal, trekked across continents to perform the original Muslim pilgrimage of the Haj - first to Mecca, then to al-Aqsa.

Such pilgrimages date back to as early as 636 AD, after Omar Ibn Khatab took Jerusalem from the Byzantine Empire. Some arrived, fell in love with the city and decided never to leave.

A variant says that they mostly arrived in the 19th century:

During the Ottoman era, Africans worked as custodians and guards of al-Aqsa Mosque – their role was to prohibit non-Muslims accessing the premises of Al-Haram Al-Sharif, the Noble Sanctuary and third holiest site in Islam. Many of them were Muslim immigrants from Chad, Sudan, Nigeria and Senegal who settled in Jerusalem in the nineteenth century after performing the pilgrimage to Mecca.

I'm not so sure. I think that the majority came to Palestine as slaves, not as pilgrims.

Domestic Life in Palestine, by Mary Eliza Rogers and published in 1865, says that the guards of Al Aqsa at the time were "black slaves."


Likewise, 2011's "In Your Eyes a Sandstorm: Ways of Being Palestinian" says, "Many Afro-Palestinians arrived as slaves during the Ottoman era, and discrimination continues today."

This 2019 paper on the phenomenon of slavery in Ottoman Palestine sheds much light:

Up to 1.3 million slaves from Africa alone are estimated to have been transported to the Ottoman Empire, including Ottoman Egypt and North Africa, during the 19th century.Although trade in slaves was officially forbidden, ownership of slaves was not, and possession and use of slaves continued into the early 20th century. Ottoman officials generally tried to steer a compromise course in order to satisfy the demands of abolitionists and at the same time not to alienate conservative forces within the Empire. Ottoman Egypt made up the lion’s share of slave trade and slave holding, while in the region of Palestine, its direct neighbor, both phenomena were of much smaller proportion.

Since the number of Africans in Jerusalem was in the hundreds, it appears that a large percentage were probably brought over as slaves. The paper notes that well-to-do Arabs regarded slaves as status symbols, and they maintained them into the 20th century as the practice waned.

It is no wonder that Black Palestinians want to romanticize their ancestors as pilgrims who wanted to stay in Jerusalem, instead of slaves brought over in the huge Muslim slave trade. But is appears that far more of them are descendants of slaves than is reported nowadays.

Were the Afro-Palestinians slaves?

Ra’am party leader Mansour Abbas says that allowing Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount “will lead to war.”

Threatening war is a time-honored Muslim tradition, and even though they have made such threats hundreds of times over the past 150 years without any resulting war occurring, it never fails to frighten the West.



I noted that Rabbi Eric Yoffie, former leader of the US Reform Judaism movement, has himself campaigned against Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount because he is frightened of a holy war.

Equal rights is important - but submitting to constant Muslim threats of war is more important.

Can you imagine anyone saying that Blacks shouldn't have equal rights because white supremacists would resort to violence?

It is outrageous - but that is mainstream thinking when it comes to Jewish rights to the holiest Jewish spot.

Fortunately, we know that Jews have been praying on the Temple Mount from the early days of Muslim rule, without any war breaking out.

The Los Angeles Times noted that Jews visiting the Temple Mount would sometimes pray aloud ten years ago.

Unofficially, Jews have been praying on the Temple Mount with a prayer quorum starting about six years ago.

I myself was privileged to join such a gathering in 2019.

Despite headlines in Arabic media about "Jews storming Al Aqsa to perform Talmudic rituals," literally every weekday for many years, that feared holy war has not materialized.

But, according to the "experts," the remote threat is still more important than the human rights of Jews to worship in their holiest place.

And the people who scream all day about how Israel violates international law seem to lose interest in international law when it supports Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount.

This has nothing to do with Zionism. This is pure antisemitism - and it is antisemitism that is supported by much of the world, using the excuse of worries about Muslim threats of war.

Which just proves that the people who pretend to care about equal rights, international law and fairness are quite happy to not only excuse antisemitic positions, but to adopt those positions themselves.

There's always an excuse for antisemitism.

Another day, another threat of war if Jews are given equal rights

The silence at leading news agencies Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France Presse on the mayor’s call to kill dogs provides a striking contrast to previous intensive coverage concerning animal welfare in the West Bank or Gaza Strip. Alongside the Hebron mayor’s reportedly walked-back call to kill the dogs, the Tulkarem municipality announced (screenshot at left) that it assembled a “special team” to work with police forces to shoot dogs dead at night.

Reuters’ September 2021 article, “Pets enjoy some pampering in Palestinian clinic,” exemplified the favored theme of Palestinian kindness to animals in West Bank and Gaza. Reuters reported:

A new animal clinic has opened in the occupied West Bank, part of a growing tendency among Palestinians to raise and pamper pets.
Veterinarian Ahmed Al-Amad’s “Royal Care Vet Clinic”, in the city of Nablus, is one of the few facilities in the Palestinian Territories offering grooming services for cats, dogs and other animals, and boarding while their owners travel.
Pet ownership has become more common in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in recent years, where some Palestinian supermarkets now have designated sections for animal food and accessories.

It was accompanied by Reuters’ likewise heart-warming articles “Orthopaedic surgeons offer Gaza’s injured animals a new lifeline” (May 17, 2022) and “Gaza’s growing pet population stretches scant vet resources,” (Oct. 17, 2019).

Associated Press and Agence France Presse coverage on animal welfare in the Palestinian territories all stick to the same script showcasing Palestinian compassion and sacrifice on behalf of animals, even in the face of hardship.

AFP, in particular, has previously demonstrated a very heightened interest in animal welfare items, publishing numerous items underscoring care, refuge, and evacuation to safety:

• “In Gaza, traumatised Palestinians tend to shell-shocked pets,” June 1, 2021
• “West Bank refuge welcomes unfancied donkeys,” March 9, 2021
• “Hamas calls quits on beach time for Gaza’s dogs,” July 8, 2020
• “More than 40 zoo animals evacuated from Gaza Strip,” April 7, 2019
• “Lions, other animals to be saved from Gaza zoo; welfare group,” March 20, 2019
• “Palestinian ex-banker devotes her life to West Bank dogs,” Aug. 26, 2017 (Diana Babish, the Bethlehem shelter founder featured in this article, has vehemently condemned Mayor Abu Sneineh, and her shelter accused him of responsibility for the hanging, running over, shooting and abuse of countless dogs.)
• “Lion cubs relocated from impoverished Gaza to Jordan,” July 5, 2015

Though the Associated Press has displayed less interest in covering our furry companions, it has nevertheless touched on their fate in the past, likewise adhering to the familiar narrative of Palestinian compassion and care, with “Gazans defy taboos to rescue, neuter stray animals,” and “Gaza parrot gets treatment from Israeli animal rights group.”

As soon as events took a less warm and cuddly turn, news agencies bolted, abandoning their previously doted-upon subjects to those loyal Palestinians and Israelis who extend a helping hand, even as the international press looks away.

Palestinian terror apologists like to say to clueless Westerners, "Don't Palestinians have the right to defend themselves?"

On the surface, it sounds like a reasonable question. Only when you know a little about what's going on do you realize that shooting rockets at civilians is in no way "self defense." It is terror.

We now have proof positive that Palestinians are not motivated by self defense but by Jew-hatred.

Palestinian armed groups announced on Tuesday afternoon that they intended to start a battle in Nablus last night.

The reason? To stop Jews from performing "Talmudic prayers" at Joseph's Tomb.

The IDF entered Nablus last night, not to arrest a wanted militant, or to frustrate a planned terror attack. Unlike most incursions, this one was known to all ahead of time. Because the terrorists knew that the Jewish pilgrims were visiting and they wanted to stop them from visiting, and that the IDF would be there to protect them.

The terrorists - part of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which is part of the Fatah group headed by Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas - started shooting towards the worshipers. The IDF fired back.

One of the attackers was apparently killed when the homemade bomb he was holding exploded before he could throw it to the IDF, although the specific circumstances are unclear - the IDF admits to shooting towards him.


The dead terrorist was apparently 15 years old, although some Palestinian media say he was 17. Either way, he was a child soldier - another little fact that won't get mentioned by self-proclaimed progressives whose interest in such matters vanishes when it comes to Palestinian antisemites.



There was no pretense of "self defense." The entire reason to attack, freely admitted by the Palestinians themselves, was to stop Jewish prayer at a Jewish pilgrimage site.

It is pure hatred of Jews and denial of Jewish rights.

In fact, the terrorists complained that the Jewish pilgrims apparently didn't arrive on buses, as they usually do, but in armored vehicles - making it more difficult for them to kill Jews.

This isn't "self defense." This is hate for Jews.
