‘The Independent’ Newspaper Publishes Article With ‘Antisemitic Tropes’

Historian Adam Sacks went on a tour of Jordan's archaeological sites and saw that the Arab enmity towards a Jewish state even extends to the original Jewish political entities.

The only mention he found of the word "Jewish" in any of the many Jordanian sites that used to be part of the Judean kingdom was this reference to "Jewish oppression:"



A map (found in a hotel in Amman) of the ancient area replaces Judah and Israel with Palestine and doesn't mention that any part of Jordan was actually part of Jewish "Palestine", artificially using the Jordan River to delineate the two areas:



Sacks goes on:

Ejecting Jews from the intersectional equation

Various progressive Jewish groups and individuals strive to be included in the activities of their counterparts from other elements of society. We, who have suffered, perhaps more than any other nation on earth, have empathy and are always willing to help other oppressed people. Why then, is it that other oppressed groups rarely stand in solidarity with us? What should we do about this?
For many, the answer to this question is that it is necessary to combat the lies used to eject Jews from the intersectional equation so that we can claim our rightful “place at the table.”

The most common of these lies are:

1. Jews are white colonialists (i.e oppressors) who must be fought to create justice for the oppressed (“Palestinians”).
2. Jews may have once been oppressed but now Jews have become oppressors (of “Palestinians”) and as such, must be fought
3. Rejecting Jews based on their Jewish identity is acceptable because Jews belong to the privileged class and intersectionality is for the oppressed

It shouldn’t be necessary to say this but just in case, I will clarify:

· The Jewish People originate from Judea and as people of Middle Eastern descent, we are not white.
· You can’t colonize your own land
· We are not oppressing anyone (the terrorist organizations ruling over Gaza and the PA territories ARE oppressors)
· It is unacceptable to discriminate against any group based on their racial, religious or gender identity


When these lies are accepted as fact, it is easy to eject Jews from intersectional discourse.

Well, it was not what I expected.

I like the part where "he" walked the security and all the checkpoint with his name tag: "SON of HAMAS" No one batted an eye.

The perennial issue of Israel’s borders flared up once again last week when President Trump announced that the U.S. will recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, the volcanic plateau that Israel conquered from Syria in 1967. To say that this decision goes against an almost universal consensus in the foreign policy establishment of nearly every major diplomatic actor in the world today would be true. To say, as many do, that this violates some long-held sacred norm of international relations in the postwar world, however, would be false.

In fact, beyond the alarmism and facile bromides inflamed by Trump’s announcement, what the the Golan situation actually illustrates is that the whole gamut of international “norms,” when they are applied injudiciously and for political ends as so often happens with Israel, can be reduced to blunt cudgels. The norms used to adjudicate land claims and challenge Israel’s rights to the Golan are not only selectively applied, they are mutually incoherent—their real power is not as legal precedents but as political instruments. To understand this we have to start with a survey of the norms in questions and their historical basis.

Recognized international boundaries come into being in one of three ways: Two bordering countries can agree on them by treaty, a newly independent country can inherit the boundaries drawn by a previous colonial power, or, finally, internal boundaries may be held over after a country splits up to form new international borders.

Respecting these boundaries is a bedrock of international norms, though hardly an absolute. In extreme cases, such as genocide, ethnic cleansing, and enslavement, even a recognized international border cannot provide legal immunity from foreign attack. That, at least, was the justification for the Kosovo War, which began 20 years ago this week.

Israel presents a special case when it comes to borders, as the new country did not unequivocally inherit the borders of the land’s previous British and Ottoman rulers, nor was there a chance for bilateral treaties to establish new ones since all of its neighbors rejected its very existence for the first four decades after independence.

The Golan Heights and the Depths of Hypocrisy

That is an excellent and very thorough article. Thank you for posting. It also discusses the hypocrisy as applied to Jerusalem:

Pertaining to the Golan, there are only two contradictory principles: that armistice lines form legal boundaries and that inherited borders are legally binding. But in the case of Jerusalem, there are three...

Jerusalem’s internationalization ... was proposed in the recommendation of a nonbinding partition resolution which never went into effect...Moreover, the corpus separatum comes with a very specific map. Included in it are all of Jerusalem and its surrounding villages and suburbs, notably Bethlehem. But no one demands the internationalization of Bethlehem, It is instead always referred to as occupied Palestinian territory. A similar designation is frequently used for East Jerusalem ... because, apparently, history only begins after 1948 when the Jewish population of Old Jerusalem was expelled following a months-long siege (an actual siege, where food and water and medicine were not provided).

There is a second norm being mobilized here, and it centers on the so-called Green Line, the cease-fire line that separated Israeli and Jordanian forces at the end of the 1948 war. This 1948 armistice line ... was explicitly not an international boundary. If the problem is Israel’s presence east of the line, how does placing an embassy west of the line violate the norm? In fact, the Green Line in Jerusalem functions in diplomacy like one of those two-way mirrors in police interrogation rooms. You can see it looking east when you need to condemn Israel for, say, allowing Jews to live in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. But look west, and it disappears, since it doesn’t confer on Israel any rights there either. West of the line, corpus separatum comes back to life. How is that?

To answer that, you need to abandon both of the first two norms and bring up a third one. Jerusalem, according to the Oslo Accords, is a final status issue. Its status will be determined by negotiations between the two sides. Until then, any move that might prejudice the outcome of that final status must be avoided. ... there is a whole list of final status issues. Jerusalem is just one. (Borders are another one) ...

Far from worrying about prejudicing any discussion of future borders, most major capitals treat the pre-1967 lines as sacrosanct (except, as noted above, where they might confer upon Israel rights in West Jerusalem), and this has even been U.S. policy since 2011.

I've been all over the Golan. Walked in places where 'stuff' happened. Saw the eucalyptus trees the Syrians had planted. And most surprising of all, visited an archaeological excavation of a Jewish village, one of 32 discovered, from 1,700 years ago, including synagogues. Proving that they were Jewish towns, and thus this was Jewish land.

I hope that I will be able to return to Israel one day and travel there more extensively. So much more I would like to see!

All we know about Abbas Hamideh is what we learned from his Twitter bio, which states that he doesn’t compromise on one inch of Palestinian land, and also apparently lives in Cleveland.

If that’s true, we’re guessing someone else took this picture proving that Palestine’s sewage system predates the illegal Israeli occupation of the land.
