Zionists respond to dissent by baiting their critics as anti-Semites, just as anti-Semites respond by baiting their critics as Jews. Birds of a feather.

Tzfat is supposed to be the land where Kabbalah was born. What I found in Tzfat was rampant racism toward Arabs and the Jewish Ethiopians. It was sort of like being in the Deep South pre-civil rights movement.

Jewish organizations are protesting the 27-year sentence handed down to Sholom Rubashkin, the kosher slaughterhouse CEO whose plant was raided for undocumented workers.

Sholom Rubashkin, former CEO of the Agriprocessors kosher slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa—which made national headlines when it was the target of a massive ICE raid of undocumented workers in 2008—this week filed an appeal of his conviction to the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals. Rubashkin was convicted in November 2009 of 86 counts of fraud stemming from a $26.8 million loss to lenders after the immigration raid found nearly 400 undocumented workers at his plant. Although the indictment included charges of harboring unauthorized immigrants for profit, federal prosecutors opted not to pursue the immigration charges after the fraud conviction. A state trial acquitted him of knowingly employing underage workers.

The demolition orders were issued because the structures were built without official permission—which is almost impossible for Palestinians to get.
