Jewlicious Rolls Out Music Line-Up of Annual West Coast Zionist Festival

Rabbi Yonah, one of our Zionist friends at Jewlicious, and the architect of the festival, goes a bit overboard, claiming about the Moshav Band that,

Imagine the jamming of Phish, mixed with the vocal strength of Pearl Jam and the spiritual lyrics of U2, seasoned with a Middle-Eastern influence and you can begin to describe the unique sound of Moshav.

I’m “pro-Palestinian”?

Slander from Big Kiruv

Did you know I am “pro-Palestinian?”

Oh, sure. George writes,

David Kelsey, the former blog owner of Jewschool [sic], is one of the most stridently leftist [sic], anti Israeli [sic] pro Palestinians [sic!!!!] out there today, he makes J Street look conservative.

I don’t think that The Zionists or even Beyond BT would characterize my views as quite “pro-Palestinian.”

As much as I grovel on my belly seeking approval from Islamicists, I think that just might be a bit of a stretch.

Being a Diasporist hardly makes me “pro-Palestinian.”

The unfortunate donation by Sergey Brin

Sergey Brin’s recent donation to HIAS, an organization that smears its opponents and tries to silence them, has the unfortunate effect of making HIAS look like a swell, helpful organization. Even one of the Zionists is getting all cutesy about HIAS, which is just silly. Maybe Jewlicious should get all cutesy wootsy about Muslim mass immigration while they are at it, since this is what HIAS stands for as well. PROGRESS BY PESACH!

Oh, look! Isn’t that so wonderful, another honor killing by a New American. How diverse.

I would remind everyone that HIAS has never apologized for the way they treated Dr. Stephen Steinlight.

Vote For Baruch!

No one has creatively tried to explain the need for bicycles to our payos wearing co-religionists than Baruch. Baruch Hertzfeld loves NYC dearly, and seeks to make it a better and more environmentally responsible and empowering place.

It is for that reason that I would like to follow Sarah/Froylein’s lead in nominating Baruch Herzfeld as a Jewish Community Hero.

Vote For Baruch!

The Zionists should consult with the good doctor

Our Zionist friends (specifically, ck and TM) are in a beef with Eli Valley, who has dared to mock the ADL and mainstream Jewish organizations.

I raised concern about the ADL on immigration and the Hate Crimes bills, and this appears to be considered a secondary issue, or even a non-issue, in terms of their concern or lack thereof about the ADL.

It shouldn’t be. The harm caused by the ADL is quite real. But don’t take my word for it only.

Dr. Stephen Steinlight has some very harsh words for the ADL, who continues to play a critical role in attempts to sideline him, and disgustingly, the other hero from Amsterdam, the unabashedly Zionist Geert Wilders.

The Florida area director of the ADL, one Andrew Rosenkranz, attacked Wilders who has been speaking at synagogues across Florida. Rosenkranz condemned Wilders’ alleged “message of hate” which refuses to distinguish between the religion of Islam and Jihadism. A great many scholars of Islam would not affirm Mr. Rosenkranz’s simplistic bifurcation (however civic-minded). Making that distinction is, in fact, a far more difficult intellectual and theological undertaking than he recognizes. While in a narrow sense Islamism with a capital “I” is a recent historical development – we associate the derivation of the term with the birth of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in 1928 under the leadership of Hasan al-Banna – Islamism/Jihadism has been a foundation stone of Islam from its inception, and any close reading of the Qur’an, the Hadith, or familiarity with the Sunnah or the four schools of Islamic jurisprudence makes the point incontestable.

I would ask TM and ck if they think this is an acceptable way to treat Mr. Wilders. I would like to ask TM, ck, and Rabbi Yonah specifically if this kind of ADL treachery towards our besieged friend Geert Wilders, who is facing a political lynching and literal assassination attempts by the Muslims, is something Jewlicious should be treating with deference and your calls for muted criticism.

“Progress” by Pesach?

Or is it perfidy?

Sound harsh? Well, read my full analysis over at Jewlicious.

And warm thanks to ck and our Zionist friends for allowing me to present an opposing view.

Students of “color” harass York University Hillel

TM has the story and chilling videos. “Color” is apparently a euphemism for “Muslims,” who are dominating these obnoxious onslaughts on Canadian Jewish students. The more Muslims that come here, the more the Arab-Israeli conflict will continue to spill unto our own streets and into our own schools.

Who exactly will this be good for, again? America? The Jewish community?

It will benefit corporations seeking cheap labor, and line the pockets of HIAS and her nefarious sister organizations.

I may or may not be remembered as a dissenting voice to “Progress by Pesach’s” suicidal demands for essentially open borders and amnesty. But the mainstream Jewish community will be remembered for its silence, as her organizations joined with the far-Left in demanding policies greatly facilitating their nation’s and their community’s destruction.
