In this week’s Tribal Update, the satirical newscast brought to you every week by Latma, the Hebrew-language media criticism website I lead we celebrate Yom Haatzmaut with Halil Majnoun, the Egyptian Minister of Conspiracy Theories. As well, in light of the success of Iron Dome, and the escalation in violent crime against Jews by Beduin in the South, we bring…
So are these Salafists or Muslim Brotherhood members? I don’t mean to be rude or anything but do Western policy analysts think we are stupid? Reuel Marc Gerecht, who usually writes intelligently on the issue of jihad wrote a stunningly ridiculous article in the Wall Street Journal today in which he says true, the so-called Arab Spring has brought…
This week on the Tribal Update, we explore the various facets of the International Solidarity Movement terror booster society’s propaganda victory over Israel this week. Among other things, we apologize to the poor innocent bicyclist whose nose collided with Lt. Col. Eisner’s rifle butt. In honor of Yom Hashoah and former Nazi Gunther Grass’s recent poem, we also bring…
Hatred of Jews is the central animating feature of the political and strategic reality of the Middle East. It is hatred of Jews that dictates the legal regimes, foreign policies, military aspirations, cultural mores, educational themes and even public health policies of our neighbors from Ramallah to Tehran. Despite the centrality of Jew-hatred in all aspects of public life…
Senator Rick Santorum has an important oped in the New York Daily News today about how the Obama administration is breaking US law by not recognizing that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. As he writes: It is actually not well known that the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 made it U.S. law to recognize Jerusalem as the…
The following is from Lee Whitnum, a Jew hating Democrat candidate for Joe Lieberman’s Senate seat. We should remember that in the Democrat primary in 2006, Lieberman’s rival Ned Lamont heavily employed anti-Jewish innuendos, blaming neoconservatives, (that is, Jews), for the war in Iraq. His backers were unabashed in their use of anti-Jewish slurs against Lieberman and his family. And Lamont…
This week on the Tribal Update, the weekly satirical newscast produced by Latma, the Hebrew language satirical media criticism website I run we bring you an update on the US government’s inability to identify Israel’s capital. To discuss the problem we conducted an exclusive interview with President Obama’s Reality Perception Adviser John Zelokoreli (John Itsnothappeningtome). We also feature the…
Jewish liberation is far from complete Hamas terror boss Fathi Hamad is a notable figure. Hamad is both the director of Hamas’s al-Aksa television station and the terror group’s “minister” of the interior and national security. His double portfolio is a clear expression of the much ignored fact that for terrorists, propaganda is inseparable from violence. Hamad’s…
In honor of Passover, my team at Latma decided the time has come to turn our attention to what this festival means for all Jews. Its message of freedom is our common patrimony and the fact that the Jewish people has managed to survive for 4,000 years despite our deep seated internal divisions is proof that what we share is…
I went to the US Consulate this week to take care of certain family business. It was a thoroughly unpleasant experience. I think it is ironic that two days after my extremely unpleasant experience at the consulate, State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland refused to say what the capital of Israel is. It was ironic because anyone who visits the consulate…
