She actually does speak, pointedly & nobly, for a great many of Israel's 21% arab Israelis. If they can prevail in undoing the violent Pan-Islaamist indoctrination of their kin in Gaza & Judea/Samaria & beyond, Israel & the whole region can know great equal peace & prosperity for all.

@ElicohenMe80462 It’s hard to take moderate Muslims seriously but then again, the press does a great job of suppressing conservative Jews, and propping up fringe anti-Zionist Jews so who knows. Maybe moderate muslims are the majority.

This is a message to the people who believe that ”Israel hates Arabs and Muslims”. Yesterday, Israel rescued an Arab Muslim who was held hostage by Arab Islamist extremists. 52-year-old Qaid Farhan AlKadi was kidnapped on October 7 by Hamas who kept him in captivity for 326 days. Qaid went from being kidnapped, starved, and kept in captivity by Arab Islamist extremists in Gaza and is now being treated by Jewish Israeli doctors back in his home, Israel. And where do you think Qaid is going to go after his treatment? Egypt? Jordan? No, he’s going back to his home in Israel. This is what people who blindly hate Israel don’t understand, they truly believe that ”Israel hates Arabs and Muslims” when the reality is that Israel consists of more than 2 million Arab Muslims, who have 3 major Arabic political parties in Israel, 2 of which are currently in the parliament. Many Arab Israelis love Israel, and many Arab Israelis are critical of Israeli policies, just like Lebanese, Iraqis, and Syrians are critical of their governments’ policies. But at the end of the day, just as Lebanese call Lebanon their home, and Iraqis call Iraq their home, Arab Israelis call Israel their home.

If you hate Israel and you hate Jews, you love Islam. Period. You are a foot soldier in the Islamic Revolution in this country and you will be called out as that. People hate the truth. After 9-11 and then October 7th—the most horrific event since then—they still refused to let us call the people who went to Israel on gliders "terrorists." That is the first step to tyranny in this country.

Rabbi Mizrachi is a big fan of Pastor Hagee... "In Texas. There is a priest called Father Haggy." "The evangelist supposedly are great lovers of the Jews and Israel. Most of the donations. Come to Israel and to Bibi from the evangelist" "They donate to the Israeli army, they donate to the government. Why?" "The answer about tie this Christians Bauchi Shema Shem fooled them that they think that JC one day will come and save the world." "But the only time it will happen is when the Jews will be in their land and Jaycee would come and build the third beta Mikdash like the Messiah they read in the prophets." "So the Jews that will accept JC, JC will forgive them. Those who will not accept JC, they will all be rotten in hell. That's the way they teach." "OK, so because of that two promote. And their plan and agenda, they invest hundreds of millions of dollars in Israel and the Jews and helping Jews to make aliyah to Israel" "And they want Jews to take Israel to be strong and kick out the Arabs out of there because the Arabs are not part of the plan."

Yesterday based on intelligence received Israeli Border Police stopped an automobile driven by an Israeli Arab woman with two young children in the back seat. On inspection they found a Palestinian Arab hiding in the spare tire space in the trunk and another one hiding under the children's blankets in the back seat. The woman was trying to smuggle the two Palestinian Arabs illegally into Israel proper from Judea & Samaria. She tried to pretend that she was unaware of their presence. The incident is recorded below. It turns out that the woman driver shas engaged in numerous similar smuggling incidents in the recent past. This is just one of a myriad of examples of what the Israeli security forces have to face daily on 7 different fronts. (Thanks to Yisrael Medad)

This is fascinating! What happens when two Arabs confront each other over what their grandparents did in 1948? “My grandparents received the same memo yours did - the only difference is that they chose not to go out and murder Jews.” When an Israeli Arab holds up a mirror to a Palestinian Arab, it doesn’t get more narrative-shattering than that.

Let me tell you a little bit about Rawan Osman روان عثمان She is a Syrian-Lebanese woman who grew up in Lebanon. She actually used to be a fan of Hezbollah in her teenage years. But when she moved to Europe and lived amongst Jewish people and got to know what we are really about, she realized that in the Arab World, people are brainwashed. That the wars we’ve all lived through could have been avoided had the Arabs accepted to share land with the Jewish People who are indigenous to the so-called Middle East. Before Oct. 7, she was building bridges between Arabs and Israelis by inviting Arabs to join educational programs on the Holocaust. After October 7, she switched to full-on fighter mode and became vocal on social media. She launched ArabsAsk to counter Hamas’s propaganda and even though she’s at the beginning of this journey, she is still labeled a traitor or a far right activist. She is neither of those things. What she is is an independent thinker, brave, outspoken and honest. Only with people of sound minds like her, who are brave enough to withstand the mob mentality of radical Islamic fundamentalists who don’t even know they’re being brainwashed - or who are fine with it - will we even achieve peace between Arabs and Jews, and will the world defeat Radical Islam. When I say that I have hope, it is because of people like Rawan.

The “Free Palestine” crowd just got played by a wealthy, privileged Jewish woman who spent years pretending to be Black and Palestinian. 🤣🤣 Hannah Gann is a Philadelphia teacher and loud anti-Israel activist who was once called Philadelphia’s Leading Antisemite. She just was exposed and she fabricated her entire identity! She has no Palestinian or Tunisian heritage, and is a white Jewish woman with family in Israel! She took money from people by claiming she was broke sending cash to relatives in Palestine. Those relatives live in Israel!! Her own activist comrades confronted her, she confessed, and they cut her off calling it a betrayal. So now the question: How many of you were cheering this Jewish woman on while she lied to your face? And how many of them actually liked her until they found out she was a Jew? 🤣🤣

But one day, she was invited on a trip to Israel and she was curious. She thought, "What if I've been told only half the story?" So she went to Israel and couldn't believe her eyes. She saw Muslims, Jews, and Christians living together in peace. She met Jews from Arab countries and Muslim Israelis. Fatema decided to dedicate her life to creating a new Middle East. She travels the world to speak to people and tell this story.

As Arabs, we need to understand that Israel and the West are not our oppressors or enemies. We, Arabs, are our own worst enemies. We, Arabs, are our greatest oppressors. We, Arabs, have killed and oppressed a million times more of our people than the West and Israel can ever do. It is not Israel that married off my mother when she was a child. It is my people who did. It is not the West or Israel that has been bombing Yemen for the past decade and killed 400,000. It is us, Arabs, who did it. It is not the Israel that implanted Islamic extremism in the East and the West. It is our mosques, it is the books we worship, it is the Imams we follow, it is what we learn and what we teach. It is not the West that forces us to treat women like commodities. It is our people. And most of all, it is not the West or Israel that doesn’t value Arab lives. It is us, Arabs, who do not value human life. If we do not admit to ourselves that WE are the problem, that WE are refusing to progress, and that WE need to change – then change will never happen, blood will keep flowing, and we will never know peace. How do we expect the world and the International Community to respect us, when we don’t respect ourselves?
