I've written about Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz before, Alan Dershowitz, Praised: Charles C. Johnson (no, not that that CJ) has a post at Big Government, In Praise of Alan Dershowitz. It’s worth the read, but hardly does justice to someone who for generations has...
So writes Caroline Glick: After participating last week in a debate in London about Israeli communities beyond the 1949 armistice lines organized by the self-consciously pretentious Intelligence Squared debating society, I can now say from personal experience that Amis is correct. The public atmosphere in England...
Jews have been under seige and attack in the Swedish city of Malmö for years as leftist policitians turned a blind eye or cooperated in anti-Israeli agitation by Islamists and other pro-Palestinian groups. See my prior post, Malmö Syndrome. It is a phenomenon spreading across...
This is courage week for Canada. First, a very strong statement of support for Israel at the U.N. Now, unlike Stevie Wonder, who cancelled a pro-Israel concert under mild pressure from the U.N. and anti-Israel groups, Alanis Morissette, the Canadian singer, has arrived in Israel for a concert...
Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day has proven something I've noticed before. Conservatives are very good at buycotts, but very bad at boycotts. There have been attempts by some conservative and religious groups to boycott various businesses over political issues. But I can't think of one, at least not recently,...
The "anti-pinkwashing" campaign continues in all its irony. Israel is to be "featured" at the annual Equality Forum on May 3-6 in Philadelphia, based on Israel's record on gay issues. Israel, of course, is the only nation in the Middle East where homosexuality is not punished, much less punished with...
On March 11, Nicky Larson wrote a column for The Independent (Ireland) hitting on virulent anti-Israel sentiment in Ireland: I used to hate Israel. I used to think the Left was always right. Not any more. Now I loathe Palestinian terrorists. Now I see why Israel...
Tolerance. The concept could be a bumper sticker. But if so, it would not be welcome on the campus of Northeastern University, which just banned Chick-fil-A from campus. From The Boston Glove via TaxProf (h/t Instapundit): Northeastern University said yesterday that a Chick-fil-A fast-food restaurant will not be...
One of my big regrets is not making more of a connection with Alan Dershowitz while in law school. I didn't take any of his classes, but I did have some interaction with him since he was the faculty advisor to the Jewish Law Students Association. We...
anti-Israeli liar and agitator capable of? Maybe almost setting off violence by deliberately spreading false rumors regarding a pending Jewish destruction of the Al-aqsa Mosque. He's not in Egypt, or Saudi Arabia, or Yemen. He's right here, and he runs the nasty Electronic Intifada blog, and was active...
Israel Matzav and JWeekly have good write-ups of the anti-Israel derangement at the University of Pennsylvania, which hosted a Boycott Divest Sanction conference. Not Boycott Divest Sanction Syria, or Saudi Arabia, or Iran ...
I have featured the vile (I'm being restrained here) anti-Israel Boycott Divest Sanction movement before, including their attempts to disrupt businesses owned by Israelis or doing business with Israel. The BDS movement is an iteration of the Islamist-Leftist Anti-Israel Coalition. IsraellyCool has come up with a...
When they say Boycott Divest and Sanction Israel, they don't really mean it. Those are just code words for Destroy Israel. Below is a video of a demonstration in London as part of the BDS(D) movement, via @EliLake, who notes At the link is this image: And this video. ...
This is classic (h/t BlazingCatFur). A member of the anti-Israel Boycott Divest Sanction movement (we've seen their moonbat tactics before) confronted Muslim shop owners in London demanding that they not sell Israeli products. The shop owners were not intimidated and demanded to know why she wasn't in...
A few weeks ago I posted a video of anti-Israel activists from the Boycott Divestment Sanctions movement who targeted Aroma Cafe, an Israeli coffee shop chain, as they do a wide range of Israeli-related products and companies.Their thing is to create flashmobs, where they start...
Aroma Cafe is an Israeli chain of espresso bars which has expanded internationally, including in the U.S.:Being Israeli, Aroma Cafe has come under attack (h/t AussieDave) by the Boycott Divestment Sanction movement of anti-Israeli activists. Watch as the moonbats protest outside an Aroma Cafe location in New...
The worldwide Boycott Divest Sanction (BDS) campaign against Israel has mostly been a failure in the U.S., but that does not stop brainwashed youth brigades from trying to delegitimze Israel anyway.Via IsraellyCool comes this video posted by the Philadelphia wing of the BDS movement, trying stop a supermarket chain from carrying...
The Bow controversy will not stop. Jake Tapper at his blog has some comments by an expert on Japanese cultural norms arguing that Obama's close inspection of the Emperor's shoes was neither protocol nor culturally appropriate: "The bow as he performed did not just display weakness...
