Subway Riders Scrub Anti-Semitic Graffiti, as ‘Decent Human Beings’ – The New York Times

Returning home on Saturday night after a dinner in Manhattan with some longtime friends, Gregory Locke boarded a No. 1 subway train and was confronted with an ugly sight.

The car’s windows and posters were covered in anti-Semitic graffiti, according to accounts from Mr. Locke and another passenger in the car, Jared Nied.

Messages like “Jews belong in the oven” and “destroy Israel, Heil Hitler,” had been written over subway maps, as shown by photographs taken on the train. Swastikas were drawn in black…

Video by JerusalemOnline

Today (Tuesday), as part of a planned operation, two undercover police officers dressed as IDF soldiers were attacked in the city of Beit Shemesh by Haredi Jews. Reinforcements waiting nearby arrested two of the suspected attackers.

The Haredi argue that they should not be enlisted as Torah Study builds a spiritual defense for the nation. Furthermore, serving in the IDF would result in undermining the Torah-based Haredi lifestyle.

An Antisemitic Hoax: Lenni Brenner on Zionist ‘Collaboration’ With the Nazis | Fathom Journal

Paul Bogdanor

The former mayor of London Ken Livingstone has defended his explosive claim that Adolf Hitler was ‘a Zionist’ by citing Lenni Brenner’s book Zionism in the Age of Dictators. According to Livingstone – now suspended from the UK Labour Party – ‘Lenni’s book shows a shared common belief between the Nazis and the Zionists … they wanted to preserve their ethnic purity and that’s why they had a working relationship.’

In this comprehensive critique Paul Bogdanor skewers Brenner’s many factual manipulations and pseudo-scholarship and explains why his work is a fixture of antizionist and antisemitic propaganda about the Holocaust on both the far left and on the far right, avidly followed by those convinced that ‘Zionists’ are to blame for all evil in the world.

Sean Spicer apologizes for Holocaust gaffe | NZ Herald

White House press secretary Sean Spicer has made an astonishing gaffe, telling a media briefing that Adolf Hitler never used chemical weapons against his own people.

Spicer realised he’d stuffed up later in the briefing, when he tried to walk back his comments.

“When it comes to Sarin gas, [Hitler] was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing,” he said.

“I understand your point. Thank you. I appreciate that. He brought them into the Holocaust centres, I understand that. I was saying in the way that Assad used them where he went into town, dropped them into the middle of town. I appreciate the clarification. That was not the intent…”

Spicer later issued another statement clarifying his remarks.

“In no way was I trying to lessen the horrendous nature of the Holocaust. I was trying to draw a distinction of the tactic of using airplaines to drop chemical weapons on population centres. Any attack on innocent people is reprehensible and inexcusable,” he said.

That still wasn’t enough, so he went back on TV to apologise.

“Frankly, I mistakenly used an inappropriate and insensitive comment about the Holocaust and there is no comparison. For taht I apologise. It was a mistake to do that,” Spicer told CNN.

Sean Spicer: ‘Even Hitler didn’t use chemical weapons’ | NZ Herald News

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that Adolf Hitler “didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons” a comment at odds with Hitler’s use of gas chambers to exterminate Jews during the Holocaust.

Spicer was attempting to discuss the horror of the chemical weapons attack last week in Syria, which the Trump administration is blaming on President Bashar Assad.

“Israhell does not have a presence we will continue to hacked your site because you are our enemies,” it said.
