legal discrimination in Israel: how do you define veteran in Israel? by religion of course

A Relentless Liar

Look at this piece of utter ignorance and malevolence:

legal discrimination in Israel: how do you define veteran in Israel? by religion of course

"The measure would allow veterans to be preferred in hiring practices; to receive higher salaries; and to get preference in receiving dorm rooms at universities. None of that would be considered discrimination, which is illegal under Israeli law.

Who is considered a veteran in Israel?

"...  anyone who served in the army or did alternative national civilian service."

Who is not a veteran?

"Ultra-Orthodox Jews, both men and women, have been exempt from the draft until now ...

Arab citizens of Israel, who make up some 20% of the state, have never been subject to the draft. Many of them have Palestinian relatives and the government did not want to force them to potentially fight members of their own family."

 However:

  "Women from what is called the “national religious” stream, meaning they observe Jewish law but also study in universities, often choose to do “national service” instead of the army ...

Several hundred Arab citizens of Israel have volunteered for national service, although the numbers remain small."

Are Arab-Israelis, and ultra-orthodox Jews who choose to do national service entitled to veteran benefits?

Yes

So how is this discrimination "by religion" ? 

Let me remind the reader that this is a professor who teaches young American students how to think correctly, how to know truth from falsehood, how to make good and sound judgment. Would you trust him to teach all these academic values to your child?

The Parody of Humanism

The picture of a suffering Arab child breaks his heart. He "detests"" whoever is responsible for it.

Try to find in his grotesquely perverted "News Service" even a smidgen of an unintentional trace of sorrow for the suffering of these children, or this child, or these children.  On the contrary. You will only find a lust for more of the same.

Today's Update  on the Latest Angry Arab Snarls

1.

Prof. AbuKhalil about Anne Barnard :

" Ms Barnard is a victim twice, of her ignorance and of her political bias."

Enough said.

Here, Prof. AbuKhalil boasts knowing what is really going on in Syria, who fights and who and where.  How does he know? He doesn't really tell.  And rightly so. Because if you follow AbuKhalil's news service you will know by now that reliability of report and verifiability of facts are not exactly his strong suit. He tends to believe everything his informers tell him, and doesn't mind trumpeting the fact that for him,  "I heard it from someone who knows" is a good enough source worthy of concocting an entire edifice of  conjectures and myth and pass them as unalloyed truth.

Here is one example of how his network of information works.

It is interesting that since that last "report" Quntar's name failed to materialize on the Professor's website.

Why is that, do you think?

Every once in a while, AbuKhalil's steady diet of pure hatred, slander and twists of facts has the same effect on his mind that a steady diet of nothing but beans would have on any normal organism. The gaseous pressure amounts to such a degree that it needs to be relieved through the most convenient and closest orifice.  He then posts a 'message"on his "News Service" that serves no useful purpose whatsoever, does not augment any understanding, does not rely on any factually correct record. It is posted for no other reason then it relieves Abukhalil's mind of its gaseous stench. This is an example of such a posting:

Every six months since 1990 the Israeli government anounces that it has distributed gas masks to its citizens. And every time Wesrwen media cover the ritual and volunteer analogies to the holocaust for extra propaganda effect. By my count every Israeli citizen should have by now around 23 gas masks.

A point of fact: If gas masks have been distributed for 23 years every 6 months, the number of gas masks each Israeli  would have is 46. I hereby conclude that AbuKhalil does not know how to divide or multiply correctly even the simplest exercise. Perhaps he considers this basic arithmetic skill a Western value and shuns it as it should be.

As for the frequency of gas mask distribution, here is an article from 2010 that says:

Tel Aviv - Israel will next month begin gradually distributing new gas masks to its 7.5 million citizens, officials said on Wednesday, the third time the country has taken such a step in its history.

Like I said, a verbal noxious fart whose only claim to accuracy or truth is that of a stink bomb.




So what has caused this latest verbal fart from AbuKhalil's slander and hatred workshop?

I suspect it is this information:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week ordered the defense establishment to urgently get gas masks and protective kits into the hands of all Israelis, according to Israel's Channel 10 News.
Currently, only an estimated 42 percent of Israelis have up-to-date gas masks and protective kits. Budgetary constraints in recent years prevented both the manufacturing and distribution of enough masks to protect the entire population.
But, with the probability of an unconventional attack on Israel increasing significantly in the past year, and with the recent proven use of chemical weapons in Syria, distributing gas masks to all Israelis has become more than just a "feel-good" measure.

It appears to be a reasonable measure taken by a responsible leader who cares about the welfare of his people. AbuKhalil's feelings about this people is well known and recorded on this blog : He would like to see them wiped clear out of the universe.    It is not beyond a wild conjecture to assume that AbuKhalil's latest attack of intestinal gaseous fumes was caused by the thought that yet another opportunity to achieve his dreams has been thwarted ...

Justice in Israel

AbuKhalil (Angry Arab) Worries about discriminatory exemptions from military service in Israel

Now this is refreshing. Prof. AbuKhalil is worried about the future of the IDF. Not too long ago we saw him exhibit great concern for women's rights in Israel .

Today he seems worried about an uneven distribution of military service burden in Israel:

Justice in Israel

" Each year, a maximum of 1,800 exemptions will be granted to boys who are considered Torah prodigies out of the roughly 8,000 eligible annually for service.  Ultra-Orthodox girls will not be conscripted. They follow strict rules of modesty, and many marry in their late teens."

Let's see if I can understand AbuKhalil's direction here; it must be a concern, as he picked this particular piece of information to post on his justice-loving website. Does he recommend that 17 and 18 year old Jewish women in Israel be forbidden by law to get married so that they can be conscripted to the military? Does he object to the Israeli law that grants deferral of military service to outstanding students who wish to pursue academic studies before doing their military service at the age of 21?

Let me repeat what Hannah Arendt said about the likes of the professor:

As witnesses not of our intentions but of our conduct, we
can be true or false, and the hypocrite's crime is 

that he bears false witness against himself.

How to forget the Holocaust

Read this story:

"... the Muslim people living in the neighborhood voiced that creating such a memorial wouldn’t be acceptable.

On May 4th, National Memorial Day, the school had programs with many lectures about the war as well as an announcement made that the plaque would not be hung in fear that stones would be thrown through the school’s windows."

How to erase a people's history? Fear, intimidation, threats of violence, a sense of entitlement, distortion, slander, re-writing history, boycotting campaigns, etc etc.  

OK. But what can possibly be the Dutch school's justification for bowing to these modern-day Vandals?

It is not as if this development is a singular occurrence or happening in a void. Consider this story. And here is the video:

To re-phrase Heinrich Heine's warning about book burning, those who want to erase the memory of the Holocaust will one day erase (what is left of) the Jewish people.

O, Europa, Europa  ...

The Aristocratic Refugees

In its simple form, aristocracy is a privileged class of people, for whom the rules, laws and duties of  commoners, or just people from other classes, do not apply. I'm using the term here metaphorically (and not sneeringly), well aware that Palestinian refugees in Arab countries are privileged in being kept in this abnormal multigenerational refugee-ness, in a perpetual state of in-between, deprivation, and limbo, by cynical Arab rulers and regimes for their own purposes. The Western Rancid Far-left, collaborates with these regimes in perpetuating the "aristocratic" concept of Palestinian refugees, again, for its own political aims and ideological aspirations. Make no mistake, human rights does not figure into their calculation.

Link here: 

I de siste hundre årene har verden opplevd mange store flyktningetragedier.  På grunn av krig eller naturkatastrofer måtte mange millioner mennesker flykte fra hjemmene sine og bosette seg i andre land.  De fleste av disse flyktningene kunne aldri komme tilbake til sin opprinnelsessted.  Men det er EN flyktninggruppe som stiller seg i en særstilling – palestinerne.

(Google translation:

 In the last hundred years, the world has experienced many large refugee No rage values. Because of war or natural disasters had many million people flee their homes and settle in other countries. Most of these refugees could not return to their place of origin. But there is a group of refugees who place themselves in a unique position - the Palestinians.

AbuKhalil Decries Israel's Apartheid

Here.

When you open the link he so graciously provides, you read the following:

"Superland Rishon Lezion is trying to minimize damage after its decision not to allow Arab students in its gates on certain days caused tumult. Education Minister to discriminated teacher: I'm shocked"

And then:

"The exposure of this discrimination led the Chairman of the Education, Culture and Sports Committee MK Amram Mitzna to hold an urgent hearing on Monday. Mitzna called on Education Minister Shai Piron to stop schools from sending their students to Superland and the mayor of Rishon Lezion to take legal actions against the discriminators. "This behavior is a slap in the face of the efforts to deal with racism within Israeli society," said Mitzna. [-]

 In wake of the public uproar, the park's management released an additional statement saying: "Recently, the Superland's management responded (possibly mistakenly, but certainly not maliciously) to requests lodged by both Jewish and Arab schools to visit the park separately."

"It should be stressed," the statement reiterated, "that these requests came from both Arab and Jewish schools. The Superland never has, nor will it ever, tolerate any expressions of racism. We apologize to our Jewish and Arab visitors who were hurt as a result of the Superland's consent to the schools' requests."

So while Israelis, young and old, are aspiring for " a joint life, between Jews and Arabs...  Values of equality, partnership and tolerance ..." and are doing everything necessary to follow words with decisive actions, let me remind you what AbuKhalil aspires to:

I was looking forward to the end of the world as it would have permitted me--even for a second--to witness the end of the Zionist entity over Palestine.

AbuKhalil's Nightmare

What is AA's nightmare?  This:


Palestinian voices for compromise and prosperity:

"At the forum, a group of Israeli and Palestinian moguls announced a new business-led initiative called “Breaking the Impasse,” whose aim was to pressure their respective governments to pursue peace negotiations.

The group is led by a pair of billionaires, Israeli high-tech impresario Yossi Vardi and the Palestinian “Duke of Nablus,” Munib al-Masri, who made his first fortune in oil and gas, and now runs a holding company that owns hotels, mobile carriers and banks. Their goal is to leverage the collective clout of 300 business leaders who signed onto the initiative and persuade wary politicians to reach out for a two-state solution.

“We hear often of the extremists, but the majority is silent,” Vardi said. “We believe that most of the people want to get an end to this conflict.”

“We are worried by the status quo. We want to change the status quo,” said Al-Marsi, who added that the business leaders don’t have specific proposals, but want the two sides to enter into “real negotiations.”

This is what the professor who teaches young American students how to hate Jews at an American university in California has to say of these voices:

I wish that Munib Al-Masri would just shut up.  If he wants to dance and perform for the pleasure of the Israeli occupiers, let him do that, but not on behalf of the Palestinian people.

 For the deranged mind of AbuKhalil, anyone who speaks of peace and compromise between Israel and Palestine is a traitor. He dreams of total annihilation.

Analogies of a Perverted Mind

AA, the perpetually apoplectic professor from California, criticizes an article in the NYT for the following formulation: "Syrian rebel shelling has already killed civilians in Hezbollah-controlled areas of the Bekaa Valley."

His beef, as always, leaves the reader more stumped than illuminated:

What does Hizbullah-controlled mean? Those are areas that voluntarily support Amal and Hizbullah.  Do I live in a Democrat-controlled area in Californian?

In the deranged mind of this consummate hater, the Democratic Party is the exact logical and moral American equivalent of Hezbollah.

Prof. AbuKhalil's Pedagogical Successes

He managed to instill his hatred into at least one of his students: 

"...  one of my students gave me a gift: the book the Deadliest Lies by Abraham Foxman. She said she suffered through the book for a paper she wrote and wanted me to suffer like her. "

Such harmonious alignment of spirit and intellect between teacher and student! And notice the clever student's sense of impeccable timing for both her gift and her explication of it: 

"On the day of the final examination". 

Abe Foxman is AbuKhalil's  bête noire.

In this case he takes issue with Foxman's definition of antisemitism: 

"criticism of Israel that is intensely biased, unfair, and illogical."(p. 174).  Only a brilliant mind can vomit such pearls. "

No supporter of Israel can ever state or say anything. In AbuKhalil's elegant universe of restraint, delicacy of mind and pious adherence to historical fact, they can only vomit.

When I read AbuKhalil's "news" service,  I often recall how Seinfeld's Elaine Benes describes one of Kramer's girlfriends:

" If you could see her personality it would be like one of the Elephant
Man exhibits, you know where they pull off the sheet and everyone gasps."

Change the gender of the subject and you've got an almost adequate description of AA.
