Muslim Zionist exposes those who only know, ‘How to defame Israel’

Once anti-Zionists feel defeated in speaking with Zionists, or they feel they’re not winning the topic they started, because they’ve refused to accept historical facts, they begin abusing the other speaker & begin using foul language against and about the Jewish people.

– Let’s Defame the Jewish State of Israel

By Noor Dahri

 

During the many years since I started talking with my fellow Muslims about their baseless arguments against the state of Israel, I could see them arguing without knowledge. I could tell they know nothing about Israel. They had a few topics to discuss, “illegal settlements, Gaza being blockaded, unlawful occupation and Israeli operations against Hamas, the Holy Land belongs to Palestinians and Palestinians are indigenous habitants of the land.” Continue Reading »

Fans of antisemite Roger Waters urged the British rock legend to cool down, and take a joke after he launched into an angry, vulgar rant on social media when the Israeli government succeeded in pulling off an April Fool’s joke on him.

By Israel Today Staff

 

From Germany to the UK to France to America, it is now common to hear top world leaders equate hatred for Israel with antisemitism. And, if that’s the case, then there are few bigger antisemites in the world than former-Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters.

For years, Waters has strongly advocated a total boycott of the Jewish state, and has urged and even demanded that other artists follow his lead in championing the “Palestinian cause.” Continue Reading »

Ilhan Omar declares Israel as “Historical homeland of Palestinians”

Relentlessly going after the only Jewish State, the Muslim congresswoman continues to tweak her condemnations of Israel until it becomes ‘politically correct’ as demonstrated in an op-ed to The Washington Post, even if it’s based on indoctrinated propaganda and not historically accurate.

By The JERUSALEM POST Staff

 

US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has asserted that Israel is the homeland of the Palestinian people.

In an op-ed published late Sunday on The Washington Post website, Omar wrote that “the founding of Israel 70 years ago was built on the Jewish people’s connection to their historical homeland, as well as the urgency of establishing a nation in the wake of the horror of the Holocaust and the centuries of antisemitic oppression leading up to it.

To Palestinian chagrin, U.S. officially shutters consulate in East Jerusalem

Having become superfluous in East Jerusalem, closing the consulate which functioned as the de facto embassy for the Palestinians prompted their petulant official, Saeb Erekat, to say its closure was “the final nail in the coffin” for the US as a peace negotiator.

By The Associated Press

 

The United States on Monday officially shuttered its consulate in Jerusalem, downgrading the status of its main diplomatic mission to the Palestinians by folding it into the US Embassy to Israel.

For decades, the consulate functioned as a de facto embassy to the Palestinians. Now, that outreach will be handled by a Palestinian affairs unit, under the command of the embassy. Continue Reading »
