Why the events in Jaffa of May 1, 1921 are important today – Al Jazeera English

Officially, the war for Palestine, which ended with the establishment of the state of Israel and the exile of three-quarters of a million Palestinians, began on May 15, 1948, with the termination of the British Mandate, the declaration of Independence by Zionist leaders, and the formal start of hostilities between the fledgeling Jewish state and the countrys Palestinian population and Arab allies. Others point to the United Nations Partition Resolution passed on November 29, 1947, and the war that commenced soon thereafter, as the actual beginning of the conflict. But an equally plausible argument can be made that the War for Palestine began more than a quarter-century earlier, on May Day, 1921 not in Jerusalem but in a mixed neighbourhood along the sea between Jaffa and Tel Aviv

History, Holocaust hatred abound in Turkeys school textbooks – Cleveland Jewish News
admin | March 10, 2021
Time and again, the Middle East has taught us that whatever political problems or challenges a given regime may be facing, it always has at its disposal an anti-Semitic explanation for how these came about in the first place. A salient example of this was the response of Turkeys Islamist government and its media echo chamber to the overwhelming vote in favor of independence in the Kurdish region of Iraq in 2017.

CAM honored former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo with its first Global Leadership Award.CAMs breadth and diversity in culture, religious participation, generational inclusion, and its honoring of people working for this cause was a grateful breath of fresh air amid the present political polarization and growing incidents of antisemitic attacks.The events clear overall outcome was a well-established understanding of Israels importance as an indispensable security ally and partner for the US, and vice-versa.
