By Richard Mather Palestinianism is the most anti-Semitic ideology since Nazism. But it is an ideology that has been nameless, as if designed to escape detection. But Palestinianism is real and it poses an enormous threat to Israel and the Jewish diaspora. The Palestinianist ideology is particularly dangerous because it draws strength from a range […]
By JMA editor Richard Mather… The biggest fraud of the 20th century is the commonly-held belief that “colonialist Jews” invaded a country called Palestine and displaced its native inhabitants. This is false for a number of reasons. Firstly, the native inhabitants of the land called Palestine were Jews. Indeed, there has been a continuous Jewish […]
By Shelley Glaser. This past Friday night the Shabbos candles glowed over a beautiful tablecloth, laid with silver cutlery, crystal cut glasses and delicious food. The hosts were educated, and liberal sponsors of the arts and local South African industry. And then our elderly and gentlemanly host said, “I felt ashamed of Israel and being […]
By JMA editor Richard Mather The Palestinian Arabs never miss an opportunity to refer to the Israelis as Nazis. This anti-Semitic trope has gone around the world, with Israeli flags regularly mutilated with swastikas and Jews dubbed Zio-Nazis.

Figures published by the Community Security Trust showed there were 302 anti-Semitic incidents reported in July 2014, a 400 per cent rise from the 59 reported in […]
By Paul Mirbach The alliance between the radical Left and the Palestinian cause is now a commonplace political axis. I suppose it is understandable on a superficial level. It has always been the Left’s favourite pastime to champion the cause of the downtrodden (except when it came to the Jews’ plight in the 1930s). They […]
By Richard Mather and David Semple I Let’s clear this up once and for all. Palestine was never a country. The ancient Greeks used to refer to ancient Israel and the country we now call Syria as Philistina; in English, Palestine. Why?

By JMA editor Richard Mather “We have been taught for centuries that the Jews are the Chosen People. We do not believe anymore that they are the Chosen People of God, since now we have a new understanding of that Choseness.” (Father Elias Chacour, Catholic Archbishop of Israel) What is Christian Palestinianism?
