Arab Filmmakers to Celebrate Genocide - Jonathan S. Tobin (Commentary) A Qatar-based production company is slated to start filming next month of a multi-millionaire dollar television series focused on the the slaughter of Jewish men, women, and children in Khaiber. This sad chapter of history is little known in the West even among Jews but it is familiar to Muslims who, even today, use the phrase “Khaiber” as a battle cry to rally opposition to Israel and as an indication of their desired fate for the Jews who live in the Middle East today. As per H.N. - Not since Hitler's Nazi film, "Jud Suss," has their been such an anti-Semitic film on the horizon as this one that celebrates the genocide of Jews at Khaiber that will be made by Arab filmmakers. Israelis make films that are sympathetic to the the Arabs like "Five Broken Cameras" while the Arabs make movies that glorify the murder of Jews. Israel has no partners for peace, and the world must come to understand this.

The UN’s willful ignorance of modern-day slavery - Tom Gross  (National Post) The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) begins its annual session in Geneva today by once again disgracing itself through the appointment of the West African country of Mauritania as its vice-president for the next year.

The Palestinian side knows this as well.

Africa
 The Islamist Challenge from the Sahel Region and North Africa - Col. (ret.) Dr. Jacques Neriah (Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)    The states surrounding Mali understood the region-wide Islamist threat and supported France's military intervention. This includes the backing of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) led by Nigeria. Moreover, Algeria let French aircraft fly through its airspace in order to engage the jihadists and halt their offensive on the ground in Mali. The anti-Western jihadi groups will probably try to retaliate, though not necessarily in the Sahel region. Rather, with the human infrastructure they have in Europe, the U.S., South America and West Africa, the choice of possible targets presents a huge challenge for all intelligence services involved in homeland security.

Here is Fathi Shihab-Eddim's, a senior Morsi advisor, Holocaust denial posted on an official Muslim Brotherhood web site:  The myth of the Holocaust is an industry that America invented. U.S. intelligence agencies in cooperation with their counterparts in allied nations during World War II created it to destroy the image of their opponents in Germany, and to justify war and massive destruction against military and civilian facilities of the Axis powers, and especially to hit “Hiroshima and Nagasaki” with the atomic bomb.   Oh yeah, this guy is responsible for appointing editors to Egypt’s state-run newspapers.

- Freddy Eytan (Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Paris practices a double standard of morality, condemning Israel's retaliatory acts against Hamas or Hizbullah, while seeing fit to act against terrorists thousands of kilometers from its own territory. One should commend France's determined fight against global terror. But the time has come for sober internalization of the fact that the Islamic terrorists in Mali and the terrorists in Gaza, Sinai, or Lebanon belong to the same family and must.

 Hamas' Talibanization of Gaza - Khaled Abu Toameh (Gatestone InstituteHamas is well aware that its campaign enjoys the support and sympathy of most Palestinians, not only in Gaza but also in the West Bank. What is happening in Gaza is one of the by-products of the Arab Spring, which has seen the rise of Islamists to power. Foreign activists who continue to arrive in Gaza to voice solidarity with Hamas need to know that they are complicit in the effort to establish a repressive and brutal entity that has no respect for freedoms and despises Western culture and values.
