EUROPEAN ANTI-SEMITISM? NAAA! Surely you have already heard about this - nearly 60 percent of 7,500 Europeans surveyed ranked Israel as the country posing the biggest threat to world peace today, ahead of countries like North Korea, Iran and Iraq. While Jewish figures and groups, including Natan Sharansky and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, have attributed the results to anti-Semitism in Europe, Al-Crapeeza has used the news to cast aspersions on the existence of anti-Semitism in Europe and imply that "anti-Semitic" is only a term used to describe critics of Israel. Representatives from the [Simon Wiesenthal Centre] centre will be meeting the Secretary General of the European Union, Javier Solana, later this month to discuss the results of the poll and issues around combating purported anti-Semitism in Europe. The centre has launched a campaign to mobilise their members to bombard the European Commission with complaints about what they see as racism towards the state ...

STOOPING TO THE LOWEST LEVELS OF HUMANITY It has been revealed that a Hamas fugitive arrested by the Shin Bet and IDF on Thursday, who planned to perpetrate a suicide bomb attack, hid his explosives belt under the bed of his baby daughter . This comes about two weeks after a palestinian woman was arrested after Border Police found a knife and gun hidden in a baby stroller she was traveling with. Disgusting, yes. But hardly surprising behavior from the inventors of the suicide bomber.

WHY I ENVY 'ISRAELI GUY' With Israeli blogger Gil Shterzer (aka Israeli Guy ) back blogging after a brief hiatus, now seems like a good time to come clean with something.

IT WAS THE JEWS Besides blaming the Jews for September 11, the Muslims are also now accusing Israel of being behind the wave of suicide bombings in Iraq. "I am sure that the people who did this are enemies of Iraq, not the enemies of the Americans," Dunya Khalil Ismail, a 28-year-old college lecturer, said as she left work Wednesday. "Whether it was the Israelis or the Americans themselves, they are aiming at us. "It started with the war, and this is just another stage," she said. "I don't know what can be done. The Americans have everything in their hands." Ismail is one of many people here - rich and poor, religious and secular - who see Israel as being behind the suicide bombings Monday at the International Committee of the Red Cross and three police stations, which killed at least 35 people and wounded more than 200. It might be an idea that seems farfetched to many Americans, but seen through Iraqi eyes, it has a kind of lo...

MORE ARAB INCITEMENT The Arab incitement machine is working overtime. The despicable cartoon below was published in the Qatari daily Al-Watan, prompted by Israel's demolition of three buildings in Gaza (which were used to help plan terror attacks).

THEY LIKE OUR FOOD AT LEAST In the Muslim world, hating Jews is the thing to do. But don't dare dis Jew food . The world's largest kosher food showcase might seem a strange place to make overtures to the Muslim palate, but Jewish food manufacturers say Muslims make up an increasing number of their customers. Participants in Kosherfest 2003 in New York on Tuesday and Wednesday said kosher food, specially prepared to meet Jewish dietary laws, often also met the needs of pork-free Muslim diets. "We have been told by supermarkets that there is an increasing interest from the Muslim community," said Menachem Lubinsky, president of festival sponsor IMC Events and Exhibitions. By buying kosher food, aren't these Muslims aiding the Jewish conspiracy to control the world ?

MAKING FUN OF AL-CRAPEEZA How come whenever I see a story from or about Al-Crapeeza, I can sense a blog entry coming on? In this case, yahoo news ran this news item : DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - The Arab satellite news channel Al-Jazeera has appointed its Baghdad bureau chief as new station manager, a spokesman said Wednesday. Waddah Khanfar... No thanks. ..was named manager on Sunday and is already in place, said Jihad Ballout, Al-Jazeera's communication and media relations manager. A guy named Jihad Ballout in charge of media relations? Sounds more like a terrorist with a predisposition for flashing. In June, the network named veteran newsman Adnan al-Sherif as interim acting manager replacing Mohammed Jassim Al-Ali, who had managed the station since its inception seven years ago. At the time, Al-Jazeera did not reveal the reasons behind Al-Ali's dismissal, but the decision came amid an aggressive campaign by the United States criticizing the station's edit...
