For decades, Israel has been a regional pariah with few friends in its neighbourhood. But in the space of just a few months, it has been brought in from the cold.
Then there was a surprise announcement that Sudan s new, transitional government would make a similar move.
Last week s agreement for Morocco and Israel to re-establish formal relations is the fourth announced by the Trump administration since August.
Why are Jews trying to undermine the fight against Jew-hatred?

(JNS) A group of 122 Palestinian academics, journalists, writers and filmmakers signed a letter last month taking issue with the widespread adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Association definition of anti-Semitism. Their statement has gotten a lot of attention and been rightly criticized as both disingenuous and illegitimate since it is absurd for a group that is the object of prejudice, as is the case with the Jews, to be denied the right to define the hatred that is directed at them.
But as much as the Palestinian protest against the IHRA declaration is deserving of.

After I published the post “The culprit: vegetative Ariel Sharon” I got hold of a frightening manuscript that kept me awake all night.
Amnon Kapeliouk published in 1982 a French book “
Investigation into a massacre: Sabra and Shatila”.
