"Jews lie as easily as they breathe" - Egyptian newspaper

From an op-ed in the popular Egyptian newspaper Youm7 by Massad Ismail:

Jews lie as easily as they breathe, a fact that we Arabs who live in our homelands since ancient times know well. We know the temperament and lies ranging from major lies like saying that God gave them the land of Palestine, causing them to kill much of the population of Arabs and forcing them out and setting up their own state, in preparation for their expansion to occupy Arab land from the Nile to the Euphrates.

And when the world discovered the extent of their ambitions symbolized in their flag, they discovered that some of their books increase the hatred of the world for them and expose their plans for corrupting the land, so they resorted to discredit these books and claim they were forged.

The Holocaust Memorial Museum of American writes about the book The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, saying

It is the most notorious and widely distributed antisemitic publication of modern times. Its lies about Jews, which have been repeatedly discredited, continue to circulate today, especially on the Internet. The individuals and groups who have used the Protocols are all linked by a common purpose: to spread hatred of Jews.

The Protocols is entirely a work of fiction, intentionally written to blame Jews for a variety of ills. Those who distribute it claim that it documents a Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world. The conspiracy and its alleged leaders, the so-called Elders of Zion, never existed.

This is a lie of lies of the Jews, who want to cleanse their evil history with big lies like the Holocaust, [but the Protocols] exposes their desire for sovereignty over all human beings

The Auschwitz photo album

From Yad Vashem:

The Auschwitz Album is the only surviving visual evidence of the process of mass murder at Auschwitz-Birkenau. It is a unique document and was donated to Yad Vashem by Lilly Jacob-Zelmanovic Meier.

The photos were taken at the end of May or beginning of June 1944, either by Ernst Hofmann or by Bernhard Walter, two SS men whose task was to take ID photos and fingerprints of the inmates (not of the Jews who were sent directly to the gas chambers). The photos show the arrival of Hungarian Jews from Carpatho-Ruthenia. Many of them came from the Berehovo Ghetto, which itself was a collecting point for Jews from several other small towns.

Early summer 1944 was the apex of the deportation of Hungarian Jewry. For this purpose a special rail line was extended from the railway station outside the camp to a ramp inside Auschwitz. Many of the photos in the album were taken on the ramp. The Jews then went through a selection process, carried out by SS doctors and wardens. Those considered fit for work were sent into the camp, where they were registered, deloused and distributed to the barracks. The rest were sent to the gas chambers. They were gassed under the guise of a harmless shower, their bodies were cremated and the ashes were strewn in a nearby swamp. The Nazis not only ruthlessly exploited the labor of those they did not kill immediately, they also looted the belongings the Jews brought with them. Even gold fillings were extracted from the mouths of the dead by a special detachment of inmates. The personal effects the Jews brought with them were sorted by inmates and stored in an area referred to by the inmates as "Canada": the ultimate land of plenty.

The photos in the album show the entire process except for the killing itself

Jews "unfit for work" and selected for death, shortly before being sent to the gas chambers.

UNRWA's anti-Israel social media campaign

Today, UNRWA started a new hashtag campaign called #JustSolution, with an accompanying webpage.

The use of the word "just" is no accident. It means that unless Israel allows itself to be flooded with millions of angry, antisemitic Arabs, destroying the Jewish state, there is no "justice."

"Justice" has long been a keyword of the anti-Israel crowd. It is effective because who is against justice? What it really means is that the stateless Arabs are the judge and jury to determine what is "just." UNRWA's webpage even asks lots of Palestinian Arabs what they think would be "just." People who live in the territories say they want to live in their grandparents' homes in "their country,"  and only that would be "just."

The mandate that created UNRWA said that it had two goals:

7. Establishes the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East:
(a) To carry out in collaboration with local governments the direct relief and works programmes as recommended by the Economic Survey Mission;
(b) To consult with the interested Near Eastern Governments concerning measures to be taken by them preparatory to the time when international assistance for relief and works projects is no longer available;

That was originally meant to be 6 months, not 65 years.

But the Arab governments didn't cooperate. They didn't want to assimilate the Palestinian Arabs into their countries. UNRWA kept trying, for several years, to reduce the refugee population, and then in the face of Arab national  intransigence they gave up.

And now they only blame Israel.

There is nothing just about the idea of a "Just Solution." It is not meant to solve any problem (as can be seen by the continued existence of UNRWA camps in areas fully governed by the PA and Hamas.) The entire campaign is designed to destroy the Jewish state demographically under the imprimatur of "justice."

Notice that UNRWA didn't start this campaign on its own anniversary. It started it on the anniversary of Israel's declaring independence.

That says volumes.
