Egypt scraps synagogue ceremony after Jews provoke “the feelings of millions of Muslims in Egypt and across the world”

How did they do that? By allegedly dancing and drinking alcohol inside the synagogue — which sounds as if it could have been an ordinary and reasonable celebration under the circumstances. But Egyptian officials preferred to portray it as the dhimmis getting out of line. After all, how would it look to be rededicating a synagogue in Cairo while their Palestinian brothers are ratcheting up their jihad against Israel?

Rage boy comes to J’lem: Obama’s Peace Ally Hamas Announces ‘Day of Rage’ in Jerusalem/Gateway Pundit

Hamas terrorists announced a “day of rage” set for Tuesday in response to Israel reopening an ancient synagogue in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter.

The newly rebuilt Hurva Synagogue, destroyed by the Jordanian army in 1948

The house of worship was first built in the early 1700s, burned down in 1720, and rebuilt in 1864. Built in the center of the Jewish Quarter, it dominated the Jerusalem skyline (along with the Tiferes Yisrael synagogue.)

Naturally, the Muslims are furious at Jews daring to rebuild a synagogue in a spot that they had lived continuously for well over two thousand years. As I reported a few months ago, what really bugged them was the height of the structure, because in Islamic tradition mosques should always be the tallest buildings in the area. Since the Jewish Quarter is on a hill, the Hurva dome will be higher than the domes on the Al Aqsa mosque and Dome of the Rock. Elder of Ziyon

A little Jew-hatred from Hamas

YNet reports:

Amid growing tensions in east Jerusalem, senior Hamas figure Mahmoud al-Zahar leveled scathing criticism, replete with anti-Semitic rhetoric, over the rededication of the Hurva Synagogue in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter.

“You who are opening Hurva are heading towards ruin. Wherever you have been you’ve been sent to your destruction [a pun on the name Hurva – EoZ]. You’ve killed and murdered your prophets and you have always dealt in loan-sharking and destruction,” he said Monday, during a conference of Palestinian groups in Gaza.

“You’re destined to be destroyed. You’ve made a deal with the devil and with destruction itself – just like your synagogue,” al-Zahar said.

Al-Zahar urged the Arab world to respond to “Israel’s crimes and protect the sites that are holy to Muslims and Christians from the Zionists’ racist onslaught”.

The Arabic Hamas article about Zahar’s talk also includes his accusation that Jews have ruined every country in which they have lived.

(Reluctant, unofficial co-blogger) Zvi comments:

Al-Zahar is not talking about settlers. He is not talking about Israelis. He is talking about Jews – all of us, everywhere. He repeats with relish the standard blood libels, the standard claims that Jews are simply and irretrievably evil and must therefore be destroyed. This is a clear and straightforward admission of Hamas’s real program. The fact that Hamas is currently not strong enough to carry out that program is beside the point. Only a suicidal Israeli government would allow such a crazed enemy to become strong enough. And only people for whom the murder of Jews is unimportant – or even greatly desirable – can possibly support the strengthening of that crazed enemy.

And don’t forget that the front page of Islamic Jihad’s Saraya.ps online paper still has a link to an article about how Jews are historically evil.

The mask that Palestinian Arabs try to put on claiming that they are not anti-semitic, but only anti-Zionist, has fallen yet again.

Our peace partners from Fatah incite Arabs to barricade themselves on the Temple Mount

The ‘moderate’ Fatah terror organization (our ‘peace partner’) has joined a call by Sheikh Raed Salleh’s Northern Front Islamic organization (‘Israeli Arabs’) for Arabs to storm the Temple Mount and barricade themselves inside al-Aqsa mosque on the Mount.

Meanwhile, the police have denied a Jewish group’s request to hold a cornerstone laying ceremony for a Third Jewish Temple (the first two having been destroyed 2,600 years ago and 2,000 years ago).

Who is spoiling for a fight?

The ‘Palestinian’ call is linked to Monday’s re-dedication of the Churva synagogue in Jerusalem’s Old City.

Is there anything Jews do in Israel that is not a ‘provocation’ to ‘Palestinians’? Probably not. After all, when we die (God save us), we are buried somewhere in the country. Anything we do while alive, the ‘Palestinians’ consider ‘provocative.’ Carl in J’lem

Remember, the Fatah guys are the “moderates.” Partners for peace and all that.

Today's Fartwa: Ottawa Imam Hates Credit Cards (Perhaps He Was Forced to Pay Money Back…)

“Demeaning to people”

Personally, I find Islam demeaning to people. But as they say, ‘different strokes for different folks’ seems to apply here, especially when applied to Muslim women, who are  ‘thankful for being flogged’ under Malaysia’s newly implemented sharia law…… Ah yes, and while we’re at it: “Sexy attire” used by women during aerobics class is “against the spirit of Islam,” said the Indonesian Islamic Ulemas Council…

In an economy awash in easy credit, Ottawa’s leading imam is definitely swimming against the tide.

Imam Khaled Abdul-Hamid Syed has issued a fatwa against credit cards, even if they are paid off every month.

“I conclude that it contains usury … which is forbidden in Islam, so it should not be used,” Imam Syed said in a mass email to members of the city’s main mosque.

Islam has always banned interest for the same reason usury is condemned in other faiths: It can sink debtors, even whole economies, as recent years have shown.

“It’s to protect people from falling in a lot of debt,” the imam said in an interview.

“Interest is demeaning to people,” added Ismail Barreh, an MBA student at the University of Ottawa who sat in on the conversation. “They are in need, and then you can take advantage of them.”  National Post/fatwa against credit cards

David Milliband, repeatedly featured here on WoJ as ‘Britain’s dumbest Jew’, has his knickers in a twist: The use of six fake UK passports by the alleged killers of a Hamas commander is an outrage, David Miliband has said. Al BeBeeCeera

Anyhow, who cares? The MF is dead. I mean DEAD. Good riddance, MF!

Three Million Illegals Waiting to Enter Israel

H/T eye on the world blogspot

It’s amazing just how many people want to live in an “apartheid state”. And “racist”, too.

(IsraelNN.com) The Interior and Environmental Committee and the special committee on the problem of foreign workers toured the southern city of Arad on Thursday in connection with a bill to eliminate infiltration into the country. Arad mayor Gidon Bar-Lev expressed his support for a proposed wall along the Egyptian border to stop infiltrations. He added that those who made it should be dealt with and should be distributed evenly throughout the country instead of just in his city and Eilat.

Member of Knesset Aryeh Bibi estimated that three million would-be infiltrators are waiting along the border to come in. He said that if [there] are 300-400 humanitarian cases in that group, he would not object to giving them assistance. A representative of the Oz enforcement unit for immigration laws said that more than 20 – thousand had been have been caught and it was not known how many have entered without being caught.

Israeli Arab MK: ‘If there is no Israel, there will be no churches in the Middle East’

Ayoub Kara is a rarity in this country. He’s an Israeli Arab MK who gets it. In fact, he’s an Israeli who just happened to be born Arab and not an ‘Israeli Arab’ like the ones I usually describe with scarequotes. There are two reasons for this: He’s Druze and not Muslim, and he belongs to the Likud and not to one of the ‘Israeli Arab’ parties. In fact, Kara often gets it better than his Prime Minister.

Kara gets it about Christians in the Middle East enough that he met with the Pope in Rome last week and tried to explain it to the Pope. /  More from Carl in J’lem>>>

Who are the ‘Palestinians’?

By David Rushton/Canada Free Press

Muslims constantly scream and whine about Israel occupying Muslim lands in Israel. Newspapers and T.V. newscasts talk about Judea and Samaria being “occupied” by Israel. The U.S. State Department and other government entities refer to parts of Israel as “Israeli Settlements.” So the question must be, “Is Israel occupying part of Palestine or are the Muslims occupying part of Israel”?

Dershowitz: Goldstone is a traitor

–

Top lawyer says conduct comparable to Jew endorsing Protocols of Elders of Zion.

Two days after Israel submitted its response to the Goldstone report that accused the IDF of possible crimes against humanity during last year’s Operation Cast Lead, prominent lawyer and political commentator Professor Alan Dershowitz said that the jurist, someone he once considered a friend, was “a traitor to the Jewish people.”

Speaking to Army Radio, Dershowitz said the “Goldstone report is a defamation written by an evil, evil man.”

He said the jurist “allowed himself to be used to give a hechsher, a certification of purity, to defamation,” and that Goldstone is a “man who uses his language and words against the Jewish people.”

Elaborating, the professor said that it would be as if the writers of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion “had asked a prominent Jew to read the report and sign it” to give it approval.

“I regarded him as a friend, but I now regard him as an absolute traitor,” he said. Read the rest on J’Post >>

“Turkey no longer needs a close relationship with Israel”

“Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews…” — Qur’an 5:82

Thus with Turkey’s turn toward Islamic supremacism and Islamic rule, its new enmity toward Israel comes as no surprise.

“‘Turkey no longer needs a close relationship with Israel,'” from Haaretz, January 19 (thanks to JW):

The rift in Israeli-Turkish relations is the result of Ankara turning away from secularism and toward more radical Islam, Israel’s military intelligence chief said on Tuesday.The comments to a parliamentary committee by Maj. General Amos Yadlin reflected wider concern in Israel and followed a high profile visit to Turkey on Sunday by Defense Minister Ehud Barak that was meant to help mend the relationship after a sharp diplomatic row.

“Turkey no longer needs a close relationship with Israel,” a parliamentary official quoted Yadlin as telling the foreign affairs committee of the Knesset.

“They are currently in the midst of a fundamental process of moving further away from the secular Ataturk approach, closer to a radical approach,” Yadlin said, adding that key factors had been an easing of Turkish concerns about Syria and Ankara’s failure to clinch membership of the European Union….

Bulgaria: an example for the rest of us?

Where Islam exists in a nation, it will sooner or later either be suppressed or it will come to dominate. That is a scenario that every nation with a Muslim minority must understand and address, or it will become a Muslim nation with the native population reduced to an oppressed minority or butchered in the night. A totalitarian ideology cannot be made peace with. Either you will defeat it, or it will defeat you.

Israel’s Muslim Problem is Not Unique

The visit of Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borissov to Israel this week is a timely reminder that Israel’s problems with Islam are not unique. Like Israel, Bulgaria was ruled over by the Ottoman Empire, which exported their population to Bulgaria, oppressed the native Bulgarians, seized their lands and attempted to become the dominant majority. And when the Ottoman Empire lost control over Bulgaria, it left behind a huge Muslim population in Bulgaria.

The key difference between Bulgaria and Israel, is that Bulgaria since the 1870’s forced much of its Turkic Muslim population to leave. As a result millions of Turkic Muslims left Bulgaria, leaving it a quieter place than neighboring Yugoslavia or Russia, or for that matter modern day France. Muslim clothing was banned, mosques were torn down and lands held by the Ottoman Muslim settlers were returned to native Bulgarians.

Rockets, mortar shells fall on Negev, Ashkelon

Violence continued to escalate on the Gaza front over the weekend after a number of Kassam rockets were fired into Israel, hitting open fields in the western Negev.

Since Thursday, 10 mortar shells and at least five rockets, including a Katyusha, have been fired into Israel, the most in such a short span since Operation Cast Lead ended last year.

On Saturday, three rockets hit open fields in the Sha’ar Hanegev region. No injuries or damage were reported. On Thursday night, for the first time since Cast Lead, a Katyusha rocket landed in an open field south of Ashkelon.

In response to the attack on Ashkelon, the IAF bombed a number of targets throughout the Gaza Strip, Palestinians said that three men were killed in a smuggling tunnel that was bombed along the Gaza-Egypt border. J’Post
