JERUSALEM (AP) — Khaled Shurrab had been waiting more than half his life to get out of Gaza.
The 27-year-old had never left the coastal enclave, which has been blockaded by Israel and Egypt since 2007. He couldn’t find a job — the territory’s youth unemployment rate is over 60%. Like a growing number of Gazans, he packed his life into a suitcase and eventually made it to Turkey, where he set out on a treacherous sea voyage to Greece last October. When his rickety boat went down, his body disappeared into the sea.
Empörung ersetzt keine Analyse, Fakten oder allgemeine Normen. Die Empörung über den Tempelberg-Besuch des neuen israelischen Ministers für nationale Sicherheit, Itamar Ben Gvir, ist nachvollziehbar. Sie wird nicht nur außerhalb, sondern auch innerhalb Israels von vernunft- und nicht ideologiegesteuerten Akteuren geäußert.
Zurecht, denn: Dieser Besuch ist als Provokation programmiert. Unnötig verschärft er eine ohnehin jederzeit explosive Situation. Andererseits muss man nicht über jedes Stöckchen springen und sich dabei verausgaben.
The Academic Department of Music at the Givat Washington Academy was invited to perform at the International Festival of Andalusian Music in Morocco in October 2022. Dr. Racheli Galai, head of the department, said, “It is a huge privilege to perform alongside the greatest experts of Andalusian music.”

Public opinion polls have long indicated that teachers are among the most trusted professionals in the United Kingdom, with 81 percent of Brits saying they trust educators to tell the truth.
Yet when it comes to Israel, Britain’s National Education Union (NEU) seemingly has no issue spreading disinformation and outright lies.
In the most recent edition of Educate, the NEU’s bimonthly magazine, the largest teachers union gives credibility to perhaps one of the most bizarre conspiracy theories in the history of anti-Israel propaganda: the claim that Israeli “settlers” train wild boars to scare and attack Palestinians.

(January 4, 2023 / JNS) A Palestinian village elder fabricated a story about Israeli livestock participating in spying activity, which the official Palestinian Authority daily news outlet Al-Hayat Al-Jadida published as reality, according to a report by Palestinian Media Watch.
“On the neck of each cow, they hang a medallion with an eavesdropping and recording device on it, and sometimes cameras, in order to monitor every detail” in the village, the elder said.

University students have become central to anti-Israel movements, with many participating in organizations such as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and others allied to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign.
Even among those not directly involved, a precedent has been created whereby to be considered “woke,” one must hold negative views towards Israel.
While pursuing a degree in politics at the University of Birmingham in the UK, I frequently observed this dynamic, both on campus and on the “virtual campus” of university social media pages. Anti-Israel protests occurred on campus, but it was the discourse on university social media platforms that was particularly noteworthy.

Ein schöner Spaziergang im Zentrum von Jerusalem. Viele verschiedene und schöne Straßen. Angenehmes und sonniges Wetter im israelischen Winter.

(November 30, 2022 / JNS) A former German state bishop recently appointed to fight Jew-hatred delivered a sermon in 2017 in which he stated that Israel’s “occupation” of the disputed territories “deforms souls.”
“On a meeting trip with members of the Lutheran World Federation to Israel-Palestine in November, we were able to experience how the time of occupation weighs on people, deforms souls, restricts freedom; how border controls degrade people and how this all breeds new violence,” said Bishop Gerhard Ulrich.
Two weeks after a Trump-supporting heckler threw a beer can at Ariel Elias at a club in New Jersey over her politics, the Jewish comedian’s fortunes took a turn for the better.
A video of the incident went viral and she made her network television debut on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show. She spent most of her five-minute set talking about her Jewish identity and how it clashed with parts of her upbringing in Kentucky.
“Why wear a tallis to shul when you can wear a very real product from Walmart?” Ilan Kogan, an Orthodox rabbinical student, asked on TikTok late Monday.
Kogan was talking about “Elegant Sunscreen Scarves Sun Block Shawl Scarf Beach Shawl Towel Clothing Accessories for Women Judaism (Blue),” the search engine-optimized title for a product that looked a lot like a tallit, the shawl worn by Jews during morning prayers.
Israeli mission to the UN led by ambassador Gilad Erdan on Tuesday launched its first exhibition documenting Jewish expulsion from Arab countries and Iran at UN Headquarters in New York. 
The launch coincided with the 75th anniversary of the UN Partition Plan and Day to Mark the Departure and Expulsion of Jews from Arab Countries and Iran. The exhibition will be on display for a week.

Berlin, 29. November 2022. Am 7. Dezember 2021 kündigten SPD, Grüne und FDP in ihrem Koalitionsvertrag zahlreiche Maßnahmen gegen Rechtsextremismus, Rassismus und Antisemitismus an. Doch heute, ein Jahr später, ist ein Großteil der Maßnahmen nicht umgesetzt oder zumindest angegangen worden. Die Amadeu Antonio Stiftung, die Bundeskonferenz der Migrantenorganisationen (BKMO) und der Bundesverband Mobile Beratung (BMB) fordern deshalb in einem Positionspapier: Die Ampel muss ihre Versprechen zeitnah einlösen und Rechtsextremismus und gruppenbezogene Menschenfeindlichkeit strategisch bekämpfen.
Die Forderungen im Einzelnen:...

Disgraced rapper Kanye West is in the lead to win the dishonorable title of “Antisemite of the Year” by a group that tracks Jewish hate.
The other two finalists for watchdog group StopAntisemitism's fourth annual contest include Mohamed Hadid — the father of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid — and Jon Minadeo II head of the white supremacist group the Goyim Defense League (GDL).

Der Historiker Michael Wolffsohn fordert ein Ende der herkömmlichen deutschen „Erinnerungskultur“ an den Holocaust. Angesichts der demografischen Entwicklung – immer mehr Menschen in Deutschland haben einen Migrationshintergrund – mahnt er in einem Beitrag für die „Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung“ (Montag) zu einer neuen Form des Gedenkens an die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus, das auch Zuwanderer und ihre Nachkommen einbezieht.
Crudely antisemitic books promoting Holocaust denial and depicting Jews as usurers have been showcased at a prestigious book fair in Poland that enjoys the backing of the country’s president.
Titles published by the far-right Polish imprint 3DOM — a play on the English word “freedom” — were on display at the Historical Book Fair in Warsaw, an event that is officially supported by the office of President Andzrej Duda.
Josef Schuster bleibt vier weitere Jahre Präsident des Zentralrats der Juden in Deutschland. Die Wiederwahl des 68-Jährigen sichert der politischen Debatte in Deutschland eine klare und besonnene Stimme gegen jede Form von Demokratie- und Menschenfeindlichkeit. Eine Stimme, wie wir sie heute mehr denn je brauchen.
JTA — Australian-Jewish teenager Harry Sheezel made headlines Monday for getting drafted into the Australian Football League and for facing a barrage of online antisemitism in the wake of his selection.
The 18-year-old medium forward was picked third overall by last-place North Melbourne, which finished the 2022 season with only two wins in 22 matches. Australian football is comparable to rugby and features two 18-player teams on an oval-shaped field, with the aim of kicking the ball through goalposts to score points.
