1. Unfair Anti-Israel Criticism is
another name for Jew Hatred

WHEN DOES ANTI-ISRAEL CRITICISM TURN
INTO ANTI-SEMITISM?
(reported in FLAME)
A rising tide of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism is washing over the world, and
the U.S. We've seen demonstrations in dozens of world capitals in which not
only Israel, but Jews in general are condemned---often to death. Indeed, a
placard reading "Kill the Jews" would not be uncommon.
Perhaps most disturbing has been the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic virulence in
Great Britain, whence we obtained this week's Hotline article. While the most
egregious defamations have come from the U.K.'s exploding (and explosive) Muslim
community, leftists, such as former London mayor Ken Livingstone, have
contributed plenty of England's own homegrown brand of Jew-hatred.
Have no doubt: Despite all the Gaza-related rhetoric, this one-sided opposition
to Israel is not primarily based on Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.
Rather it is grounded in the presence of a Jewish state in the Middle East. And
that opposition to the self-determination of the Jewish people is at its heart
anti-Semitic.
Make no mistake: Israel is vulnerable to these unremitting criticisms from
around the world, particularly from our English allies and of course from fellow
Americans. This drumbeat of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism has profound effects
on Israel and on us American Jews. In fact, Israel's very existence is
threatened by it.
As we have seen, anti-Israel sentiment limits Israel's military options against
its sworn and deadly enemies---Hizbullah, Hamas, and most critically against
Iran. It limits Israel's trade and cultural options: Many countries do not
trade with Israel or have only restricted trade, Israelis are banned in some
academic circles in the U.K., for example, and an Israeli tennis player was
recently not allowed to play in a major tournament in Dubai.
Unrelenting criticism of Israel also inhibits Jews' (and Jewish children's)
identity with our homeland---imagine how difficult it is to be a proud Jew, let
alone a proud Zionist, on many college campuses, like UC Berkeley or Columbia
University, or at Hampshire College, which just voted to divest all
Israel-related investments.
But most importantly, this growing condemnation of Israel threatens Israel's
very existence. Try to imagine how difficult it would be for Israel to survive
without the support of the United States government. I believe it would be
impossible for Israel to survive for even 20 years.
While popular opinion in much of world runs against Israel (and let's not even
talk about the U.N.) Israel thankfully still enjoys the support of the majority
of American people and its government
2. German Auto Parts Company Used
Auschwitz Hair

Extracts:
(IsraelNN.com) The German Schaeffler auto parts manufacturer used the hair of
Auschwitz inmates in order to make fabrics and textile products during the
Second World War, according to Polish researchers.
Polish authorities later tested the hair and found traces of Zyklon B, the
poisonous gas used to murder over a million Jews in the Auschwitz gas chambers.
A complete set of blueprints for the construction of the Nazi death camp
Auschwitz went on display in Berlin in February. The newly discovered Auschwitz
plans are dated Oct 23, 1941, evidence that the Nazis? industrial mass murder of
Jews was formulated years before the Final Solution was implemented.
Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest of Nazi Germany's concentration camps. The
campgrounds are located in Poland approximately 50 kilometers (31 miles) west of
Cracow and 286 kilometers (178 miles) south of Warsaw. Following the German
invasion of Poland in September 1939, O wi cim was annexed by Nazi Germany and
renamed Auschwitz, the town's German name.
According to the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, 1.1 million victims were
murdered at Auschwitz, about 90 percent of whom were Jews from almost every
country in Europe. Most victims were killed in Auschwitz II's gas chambers using
Zyklon B gas; other deaths were caused by systematic starvation, forced labor,
lack of disease control, individual executions, and purported "medical
experiments".
3. Confessions of a Sudanese deserter:
Arab-Speaking Black Muslims
Exterminate Black non-Arab Speakers

Extracts:
The International Criminal Court is set to announce whether or not it is to
issue a warrant for the arrest of the President of Sudan President al-Bashir,
for alleged war crimes in Darfur.
The Sudanese government has always said the accusations are political but now
one of the country's former soldiers, who served in Darfur, has been telling his
story to the BBC's Mike Thomson.
"The orders given to us were to burn the villages completely," he says.
"We even had to poison the water wells. We were also given orders to kill all
the woman and rape girls under 13 and 14."
Khalid, who is of black African origin, says he was forcibly recruited into
President Omar al-Bashir's Sudanese army in late 2002.
He admits to having taken part in seven different attacks on Darfur villages
with the help of Janjaweed militia.
The six-year conflict has spawned more than two million refugees.
The war in Darfur began in 2003 when rebel groups took up arms.
Over the last six years it is estimated that around 300,000 people have died as
a result of the conflict in Darfur and a further 2.5 million have been forced to
flee their homes.
President Omar al-Bashir and the Sudanese government have always denied that the
country's army committed atrocities in the region or commissioned Janjaweed
militia to do this on their behalf.
