History Refresher (video)
Widespread anti-Semitism in The Netherlands
After the Holocaust many people consider anti-Semitism not to be politically correct. Thus anti-Semitism often morphs into anti-Israelism, which does not carry the same stigma. Seventy-seven percent of Jews interviewed said that antisemitic sentiment is rife in the Netherlands. When asked where these anti-Jewish sentiments appear, 82% responded “social media”. Fifty-nine percent referred to the media, i.e., many of the Dutch TV stations and leading newspapers.
Fifty-two percent of respondents said that anti-Semitism manifests itself in the streets and 42% in politics. Although respondents were not asked to identify which political parties promote anti-Semitism, it is evident that the prime promoter is a small Muslim party, Denk, which holds 3 seats out of 150 in the Lower House of the Parliament. In 2017, CIDI (The Center for Information and Documentation about Israel) has accused Denk of anti-Semitism in parliamentary questions and remarks. arutzsheva
US Approves Sale of Patriot Missiles to Turkey
United States to sell $3.5 billion in missiles to Turkey. The United States on Wednesday approved the sale of $3.5 billion in missiles to Turkey, offering an ultimatum after US outrage over the NATO ally's plans to buy from Russia, AFP reports. The move is seen as a counter move to Turkey’s purchase of S-400 anti-ballistic missile defense systems from Russia, which has long been an issue of contention between Turkey and its allies, particularly the United States. Military experts are concerned that the deployment of S-400s would put the security of allied weapon systems, particularly F-35 aircraft and radar facilities, in danger. arutzsheva [oh, and they won’t use them against Israel?]
WHITE HOUSE CONFIRMS US WITHDRAWAL FROM SYRIA
Trump: 'We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.'A US official told Reuters that all State Department personnel in Syria will be evacuated from the country within 24 hours, and that all US forces will depart within 60 to 100 days, once the final operation against ISIS has been completed. US President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday afternoon that his only reason to have US troops in Syria was to defeat ISIS, a mission which he said the US has accomplished. “We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.”
DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? The US move comes as Turkey threatens a new offensive against the US-backed Kurdish forces in northern Syria. Erdogan has repeatedly threatened to attack the YPG Kurdish militia operating east of the Euphrates River. The YPG has been battling ISIS with the assistance of the US. arutzsheva SO THE US TO SEND PATRIOT MISSILE TO TURKEY?? Bloomberg
TRUMP ABANDONING THE MIDDLE EAST. WHY?
[not good but typical Trumpian decision]
Trump Abandons Kurds, Israel, in Questionable Pullout from Syria. President Trump is, in effect, ceding Syria, the Kurds, and, eventually, Iraq, to Russia and Iran. And he did it without consulting anyone in the Pentagon [no, but with military brass]. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was aghast like the rest of the Western world: “I’ve never seen a decision like this since I’ve been here, in 12 years, where nothing is communicated in advance, and all of a sudden this type of massive decision takes place,”

The summit will focus on cyber and innovation. Netanyahu: "We want to lay a gas pipeline from Israel to Cyprus, Crete, [mainland] Greece, Italy and [the rest of] Europe. This will turn Israel into a player in the global energy field; all signs indicate that it could run forward. This will, of course, strengthen our diplomatic capability which, to the same extent, of course, is also strengthening the economy and the military, because they are all related.”
