It’s a POGROM not an Intifada

Pogrom: Jews defiling the Temple Mount with their "filthy feet."

Dear Mr. Netanyahu: It’s a POGROM not an Intifada

“The settlers’ presence is illegal, and therefore every measure taken against them is legitimate and legal.”

Another pogrom in the 21st century is taking place-in Israel the Jewish state. It’s based on the latest blood libel-the Jews defiling the Temple Mount with their “filthy feet.”

Here are some still shots of the video. The video has been removed because of the policy violation regarding hate speech.

It is only hate speech when directed at peaceful muslims, but when hate speech is directed from muslims to Jews - it’s not news.

The progom proceeds with the silence of the media.

Nuke Mecca now! Deport all koranimals and close all mosques. Islam delenda est! Sink the invader’s boats and machine gun the survivors. Bulldoze Al Aqsa and rebuild the Temple of Solomon.

J Street lobbyist heads to Schakowsky’s office

Illinois Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky’s search for a new staffer this month has led her down J Street.

Schakowsky hired former J Street lobbyist Shannon Kellman to be her legislative assistant. Kellman had been working for J Street since late last year. During her time at the self-described “pro-Israel pro-peace” group, she lobbied Congress on issues relating to the Iran nuclear deal, boycott and divestment movement against Israel and American aid to Israel and Palestine. J Street has recently come out in favor of the Iran deal while their less reconciliatory counterpart, AIPAC, has been staunchly opposed.

Kellman joined J Street after leaving the office of Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) shortly before his retirement in January 2015. She had been with Levin since 2013, first working as a staff assistant and then as a legislative correspondent. Kellman had also previously served as an intern for the House Democratic Caucus in 2006.

Schakowsky has received support from J Street in recent years and even caused a minor fracas in March when she addressed a conference hosted by the firm. She was criticized for remarks that some commenters interpreted as negative towards Orthodox Jews. Both she and Levin have come out in support of the Iran deal.
