On this, I agree with Phyllis Chesler: For an Israeli Ambassador, with full diplomatic immunity, to be “brutally detained,” by the UN police/goon squad, merely because he held up a photo of Iranian martyr, Mahsah Amini, while the “butcher of Teheran,” Ebrahim Raisi, addressed the General Assembly—is beyond the pale. Erdan held up a photo which called for freedom for Iranian women now! He deserves a parade and a medal. Instead, as Erdan was walking out, he was taken hostage. This action, this photo-op, has crossed a dangerous line.... We know that the UN has never stopped a single genocide. Its’ only accomplishment has been the systematic legalization of Jew hatred via more than one hundred resolutions condemning Israel for alleged crimes that it has not committed—in fact, crimes of real gender and religious apartheid committed by Arab, Muslim leaders; human rights atrocities committed in totalitarian countries and in failed state everywhere—not in Israel—and yet Israel alone has been scapegoated. FYI Iran becomes chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum on November 2, 2023. #MahsaAmini & #WomanLifeFreedom

Apple News, Where Antisemites Are Always Welcome (CAMERA) The day before Abdel Bari Atwan’s Sept. 10 column appeared on Apple News (“Washington’s ‘Plan B’ in Syria“), he penned an editorial at Rai al-Youm supporting Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s hateful speech.





For those observing Yom Kippur, wishing you an easy fast.
