10.18.2019 Palestinian meat boycott leaves Israeli farmers in the red. Haaretz.by Sami Peretz. According to the article, Israel trying to force Palestinians to buy 120,000 calves.
1) Two companies; Dabah Salah & Sons and Tnuva, have a sweetheart deal, a ‘duopoly’ where they control Israel’s meat industry.
2) These two companies, “rely entirely on imported meat.”
3) This means Israeli farmers depend on selling cattle to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. [The Palestinians are literally a captive market.]
4) The Palestinian Authority’s new Prime Minister—an economist—advocates Palestinians diversify themselves away from the occupation economy controlled by Israel. So…
5) Last month the Palestinian Authority announced it would source its supply of calves elsewhere. They’ll still buy other agricultural products from Israel. Just not calves.
6) Israeli cattle farmers are hyperventilating because now they don’t have a market-and they still have to feed and water their stock, which is cutting into their profit margin. They’re demanding the government ‘do something.’
7) Israel’s military governor in the occupied territories, Major General Kamil Abu Rokon, made a statement revealing Israel’s imperious worldview in all its dysfunctional glory, “Israel will not allow boycotts of any kind against Israeli products.” He threatens collective punishment against Palestinian farmers.
10.18.2019 The calves’ rebellion Haaretz by Amira Haas. Dear Amira Hass beefs up the discussion about Israel threatening ‘collective revenge’ on Palestinians for not buying Israeli cows. Points out that Israel, under the pretext of security, takes Palestinian water then sells it back to them for top dollar. Points out that Israel, restricts Palestinian movement, hamstrings Palestinian farmers by not letting them get to their fields while stealing Palestinian land outright, restricts Palestinian imports and exports, [which keeps Palestinians dependent on Israeli goods] to name a few things.*
10.18.2019 The country needs to rethink its policy regarding Gaza The Jerusalem Post by Yossi Melman. Islamic Jihad publicly humiliated Netanyahu [aka. the Meshuga Mussolini] who is not only Prime Minister but also Defense Minister, [and sometimes Foreign Minister, Communications Minister, and/or Commerce Minister] a few weeks ago. Netanyahu held a campaign rally in Ashdod a few miles from the Gaza border, Islamic Jihad lobbed a few of their tiny rockets over the segregation fence in that direction. Not being Churchill, Netanyahu allowed his handlers to rush him off stage to a bomb shelter. Bibi was so upset he ordered his security chiefs to attack Gaza. His Chief of Staff and the head of Israel’s secret police warned against it. Israel’s Attorney General told Netanyahu he couldn’t just order an attack by himself without asking Parliament. Netanyahu tried to push it through by a conference call. When that didn’t fly, he backed off.
Article talks about five fronts ‘threatening’ Israel. West Bank, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq [I know, that’s six fronts. But that’s in the article.] Article adds a dash of Israeli racism with this nugget possibly intended as sarcasm, “Israel’s rivals on all fronts…have signaled that despite their losses and inferiority, they are not going to cave in to the mighty Israeli military machine.”
Article doesn’t present much in the way of solutions. But points out that what’s going on now doesn’t
work.

10.19.2019 Ex-envoy Dave Sharma: Leifer case damaging ties with Israel Jerusalem Post. by Herb Keinon. Another story about Israel, with its long history of harboring Jewish criminals wanted by foreign nations. In this case, they won’t extradite an alleged pedophile, wanted on 74 counts including rape and sexual abuse back to Australia. She [yes, she] is an Israeli and the former principal of an Ultra-Orthodox Jewish girl’s school. She returned to Israel in 2008 when the charges surfaced. With the help of the Jewish state, a slick lawyer, claims that she’s insane, and an influential rabbi, she’s managed to dodge extradition since then. Author of this article is a member of Australian parliament and former Australian Ambassador to Israel. He told Israelis flat-out, “At all levels this is an important case for Australia.” and that it is having an impact on bilateral relations and how Israel is being seen in the country. He said the case, “is one that we will not let rest until we see Ms. Leifer is extradited to face justice in Australia.”
Sunday

From Wafa

10.21.2019 Foreign ministry says by lessening Area B, Israel is systematically destroying agreements. Jewish colonists, abetted by Israel, plan to steal another 700 dunhams (173 acres) to expand their illegal colony. The land grab is a blatant annexation that would link large tracts of land the Israelis have already stolen. Article notes that Israel is able to do this only through American protection/support. In 1993 the Oslo Agreement was supposed to last five years then everything in the occupied territories would revert to Palestinians. Oslo divided the West Bank into three parts: A, B, C. C is the largest, about 66 percent. Israel controls all of that. Areas A and B are not contiguous, they’re many islands in the lake of area C. B is supposed to be under shared control. A is supposed to be under complete Palestinian control. In reality, Israel runs every thing. Goes wherever it wants, attacks whoever it want, whenever it wants. The Jewish state is adding Area B to its holdings in Area C by stealing Palestinian land.
10.21.2019 ‘Hate-filled’ graffiti discovered at Washington Hebrew Congregation DC List. by Rachel Kurzius. Temple ‘in close contact with metropolitan police, the anti-Defamation League, and more about the vandalism.

Article says a security guard found the writing a week after it was done [crummy security guard]. There’s video footage of the perpetrator, and police are working with the synagogue to identify the vandal.
[Note: this is the same synagogue that is being sued by eight parents whose young children were sexually abused by a pedophile working at the synagogue pre-school.]
