A surprising process of 'Israelisation' is taking place among Palestinians in East Jerusalem
Along with the nationalist radicalisation, widespread support for Hamas and widespread clashes, less predictable dynamics are afoot.

I have previously documented offensive comments by Foreign Office Arabists:

Miketz 5773

If the account from our Torah were to be a true account of the goings on in ancient Egypt, can you imagine the field-day that the ancient Egyptian media would have had.

There would be the official, state-run news agency headline: “The great Pharaoh reveals his divinity through a dream prediction of the future: all bow-down to Pharaoh.”

"Jihad" Jenny Tonge has at last been expelled from the LibDems but Andrew Phillips has lost no time in replacing her as the nastiest LibDem in the House of Lords.

In the Canaanite countryside somewhere between Hebron and Shechem, traditionally associated with Nablus and now identified as Tel Balatah in the northern West Bank, Joseph asked an ish, a stranger: “Et achi anokhi m’vakaysh – I am looking for my brothers…(Gen 37:16)”

Where Human Rights are concerned, the security of one person’s rights should not affect another’s. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10th December 1948 laid out a format for individuals to live in harmony with one another and within their nation states. Whilst some anthropologists consider it against human nature to curb their desires to dominate the other, others point to the gradual civilising of population groups over time. Will there be a time that we might term a messianic age when all humanity can live in harmony with one another, one not seeking domination over another, in the process subjugating another’s human rights?

As Jews, our attention is unfortunately once more trapped by news from Israel and Palestine. The Palestinian Authority applied for and gained UN recognition as a non-member state. As Ali Younes, an analyst based in Washington D.C. wrote in Al Arabiya: “For President Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority, this vote was not necessarily part of a national strategy to achieve real statehood for the Palestinians - in the absence of any peace process with Israel - rather a last-minute attempt to boost his increasingly diminished relevancy and to cover for the Palestinian leadership historic failures.”
