#Islamic antisemitism

[jewish-vents]

My dad is Muslim. My mom is Jewish. His family used to treat my mother and I well, but in the last year they've all become increasingly hateful and bigoted. Finally he snapped at his dad for saying something antisemitic I won't repeat here and told him, "She has done nothing to you! Her family has done nothing to you! Our country slaughtered them and threw the survivors out! And all she's ever asked you for is respect! All she's ever wanted is peace! My wife is worth more to me than you, than your respect, than [entire country my dad immigrated from]! If Jews are so evil, why do you have to goad her and goad her and fucking goad her to try to get a response? And why haven't you gotten one? I'll tell you why - it's because she's something you aren't! She's a good person! I will take a good person who's a Jew over a monster like you any day! Get out of my house and don't come back!"

I'm so torn up inside. I love my dad. I love that he loves my mom and I so much. I love that he supports our being Jewish and has always told me that God loves all people, that I don't have to be Muslim just because he is. He's helped me learn Hebrew since my dyslexia makes it hard for me just like Arabic is for him. I could not ask for a better dad. But I hate that just because he's not antisemitic, he's lost his family. All of them have gone no contact with him for over a month now. I know he's had to argue with them a hundred times over me. They've always been mad he didn't raise me Muslim. I wonder, if I hadn't been born, if that would've helped. Maybe they wouldn't be so tense and angry. Maybe his family would be nice to my mom if I weren't born, but it's too late now. I'm 17. I can't undo the past.

I miss my dad's half of the family. I miss my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, my cousins. It hurts that they won't talk to me. I can't imagine how much worse this is hurting him. Sometimes in the early morning his eyes are bloodshot like he's been crying, even if he doesn't say anything to me. He's trying to be the cheerful person he always is. He doesn't want me to worry. But how can I not worry about him? Stress makes cardiac issues worse and he's had heart issues in the past. I want him to be okay.

Sometimes I feel this big, overwhelming sense of emotions I can't name, love and contentment and value, knowing he chose us over his family. Then I feel guilty for being happy about that, even briefly. He shouldn't have had to choose.

He's never getting his family back. I'm never getting part of my family back. I don't know what to do with that. The weight of it is hard to bear.

I miss the way things were before.

That's not even the worst example from Sunday.

Iraqi Shiite news site Baratha imagines a world without Zionists - and without Jews:

What would the world lose if the Jews became extinct?! Quite the contrary, humanity will have a good opportunity to live quietly and without the evils of this malicious sect. The idea is so wonderful that I can almost see the desert blooming, the earth getting excited, and millions of beings losing their minds from extreme happiness! Jews are the curse that came from the worst dreams of the accursed Devil. Without them, humanity would not have known atheism, the theory of evolution, and racism. With their help, the prophets were killed, usury and immorality spread, wars broke out, and nations perished. With their dirty thinking, epidemics developed, the death trade became widespread, and the world turned into an arena of conflict in which man eats man and death spreads everywhere. . If humanity had not known this malicious sect, it would not have known socialism, capitalism, and Nazism. It would not have known Zionism, Freemasonry, Illuminati, and Wahhabism. It would not have known the Cold War, nuclear and hydrogen bombs, and it would not have known corruption, anomalies, drugs, cancer, global warming, the right to veto, America, injustice, and oppression. They are a dirty, atheistic sect that claims faith, a dirty race that considers itself the only one worthy of life, and a strange society that contains the essence of meanness, malice, and deception accumulated over thousands of years. Their history is rotten, their books are false, their principles are evil, their morals are malicious, their methods are satanic, their goals are ominous, their presence is dangerous, and their survival is not good for man or animal. These people never lived among a people without their corruption, unrest, and devastation spreading, and they never moved to any country without carrying evil with them to it.. So it behooves all humanity to be hostile to them until it is safe from their evil, and I am not exaggerating here if I say that their disappearance is life and good, and their survival is death and evil. If humanity wants to live in peace, it must first stop their evil; And everyone who stands against them is on the side of truth, goodness and peace. There is no alternative to God’s laws, and the path of Satan and his servants will end in failure. Everyone who stands against them will be helped and supported by God’s care. Goodness, which is the path to salvation, is in standing against evil, not by standing by and watching. The responsibility that one cannot escape from bearing is through awareness, work, and patience, and the outcome is survival and victory in This world and the hereafter, God willing.

Unlike the resurgence of antisemitism in the West, there are next to no articles condemning the incitement to violence that is now widespread. The pretense that arab media had in separating Jews from Zionism in the past 25 years has all but disappeared. The Jews remaining in Tunisia are frightened to death that they will be slaughtered at any time. 

Western NGOs who claim to be supportive of human rights do not say a word against these explicit calls to rid the world of the evil of Jews.

Christianity and Islam both say, "Only those who follow our religion go to The Good Place after Death; the rest of you sods will burn and suffer forever in The Bad Place as Punishment for not following OUR direct dogma."

Yet, it's JEWS who supposedly WE'RE the Special Chosen Few?

[the-garbanzo-annex-jr]

Is there any connection between the Nazi war of extermination against the Jews that ended in May 1945 and the war of the Arab armies against Israel which started in May 1948? It’s an obvious question, but one that is rarely asked. Why?

The answer is because – at least this is my assumption – the provable existence of threads of continuity between 1945 and 1948 calls into question cherished certainties: for example, the conviction that the Arab movement against Zionism and Israel had nothing to do with the Nazi fantasies of the previous phase and that Israel, i.e. Jews, were mainly responsible for the 1948 war and antisemitism in the region.

My new book Nazism, Islamic Antisemitism and the Middle East (Routledge, August 2023) challenges this conventional wisdom. It offers a new interpretation of the origins of the Arab-Israel war of 1948.

The central role of Nazi antisemitism in the planning and implementation of the Shoah is well known. The impact of that same Nazi antisemitism on the Middle East, on the other hand, remains gravely under-researched.

My book aims to fill this gap to the extent currently possible. It sets forth the methods used by Nazi Germany from 1937 onwards to disseminate its antisemitism in the Middle East in the Arabic language and the role that this antisemitism would play eleven years later, when the Arab armies fell upon the newly founded Jewish state of Israel. This fateful war triggered the Palestinian refugee catastrophe that has marked the Middle East conflict ever since.

The spread of antisemitism in the Middle East did have something to do with the Zionist movement and the building of the Jewish state. There was, however, more than one way to respond to these developments. There were, for example, Egyptians who welcomed the ‘victory of the Zionist idea [as] the turning point for … the revival of the Orient’. Others, such as the ruler of Transjordan, Emir Abdullah, sought sometimes more, sometimes less cooperation with the Zionists. A third group may have opposed Zionism, but not Judaism, while initially it was only the supporters of the Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin El-Husseini, who adopted the antisemitic approach. The Nazis exclusively backed this last group. They saw the clashes in Palestine as an opportunity to promote their form of Jew-hatred and to impose an antisemitic interpretation on the local conflict.

Only in recent years has the significance of the Nazis’ Arabic-language propaganda in the Arab world been brought to light, notably through the pioneering work of Jeffrey Herf. In 2009 he introduced us to the content of the manuscripts of the Nazis’ Arabic-language broadcasts in his book Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World. Five years later, David Motadel published further important findings in his study Islam And Nazi Germany’s War. Building on these studies, the current book presents a series of new facts that have the potential to change our view of the past and present of the Middle East conflict.

Son of Hamas: My Grandma [Was] Told To Leave by ARABS in 1948, NOT Jews!

The Nakhba? You mean the time Arab Muslims tried to ethnically cleanse the Jews, failed, and then called it a "catastrophe/disaster" because they were too embarrassed to admit they lost the war they started? (And most Arabs told to flee were ordered to do so by other Arabs, not Jews?)

That history?

Or are you talking about the time Palestinian Arabs massacred Palestinian Jews before 1948?

Like the 1929 Hebron and Safed Massacres?

Or the Jaffa Riots of 1921? When the Ottoman Empire collapsed and ceded the region to become the British Mandate for Palestine?

Or the 1834 Looting of Safed, when Arab peasants under Ottoman rule vented their frustration at being oppressed by Egypt by going on a mass raping, murdering, and looting spree against their unarmed Jewish neighbors.

A time that gentiles remember as the "Peasants' Revolt," but only Jews who were maimed, massacred, raped, and looted across 33 days remember as Yagma el Gabireh, or the "great destruction."

Arab Muslim aggression and mass murder against Jews didn't start 1948.

Know their history. Understand the conflict.

Today marks the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to make way for Israel in 1948.

Over 750,000 Palestinians were displaced that day. This did not start on October 7th.

Know their history, fight for their future. 🍉

[jewish-vents]

I’m losing the ability to feel any empathy for Palestinians. Their whole culture and national identity is built on Jew hate and historical revisionism. They raise their kids on holocaust denial. They celebrate every suicide bombing, every rocket attack, Oct 7. The “civilians” that were working in Israel drew maps for the Oct 7 invaders. And I’m supposed to feel sorry for these people? When we’ve got decades of things like mothers proudly proclaiming their children dying in suicide bombings against Israel would be an honour, I’m supposed to feel bad that the children of supposed doctors and journalists who’ve kept hostages as slaves are dying just like their parents and chosen leaders want? Arab colonists built their mosque on our holy site, proclaimed our land their own, refused to live alongside us when we returned, cried “Nabka” after they failed to drive us out again, and have been crying “genocide” each time their repeated attempts fail ever since. This is more of the same and I’m tired of pretending this latest war is a tragedy and not a suicide cult getting exactly what it quite literally asked for.

A large part of the tragedy and horror of the situation is the way it steals our ability to be compassionate toward one another.

There are children on both sides. There are innocents on both sides.

And the worst players on both sides seek to corrupt that innocence and radicalize the children into violence and hate.

We cannot build a better future without seeing the humanity in one another.

It is crucial to remember that the people of Gaza did not choose Hamas; that the Hamas they voted into power presented itself as significantly less violent and radical than they later proved to be, and that the last election happened nearly two decades ago.

But we also need to make space to voice our pain and anger, because if we do not, it will fester until it consumes us.

Takeaways while in Israel for 10 days, from my friend Rachel Kalish:

We met with many coexistence groups and individuals — working within Israel and across the green line— to heal historical wounds. Out of an abundance of caution (mine) I’m not posting their photos. Their stories are so deep in my heart as they work together to heal beyond the ruptures into something healthier, as they reach for higher ground.

The thing that slayed many of us is a West Bank Palestinian Muslim man who apologized “that we fought you rather than welcome you home when you returned.” As someone in our group said “I didn’t know that I had been waiting my whole life to hear those words.” This in the middle of a war that is felt everywhere by everyone. Tribal. Universal. The love bigger than the pain.

Whether or not Israel is mentioned in the Quran, the ancient kingdoms of Israel, Judah, and later Judea did exist and they were sovereign nations in their own right.

They also existed over a thousand years before Islam was even created.

Ancient Judea was also annexed and renamed "Syria Palestina" by the Roman Empire some 500 years before the Caliph Umar violently conquered and colonized the former kingdoms of Israel (then under Byzantine Empire rule, after the collapsed Roman Empire's rule) in the name of Islam in 638.

Also, if we're going to talk about "genocide" and colonialism...

The "Israel" mentioned in the Quran is NOT a country

I have been seeing an incredibly misinformed piece of Zionist propaganda going around and just wanted to set the record straight. This image basically says that "The word israel is mentioned 43 times in the Quran" and that "Israel is older than Islam". I just wanted to clarify for the idiots who keep reblogging that shit that the Israel mentioned in the Quran is "Bani Isra'il" which refers to the sons of Jacob or the Jewish people. In NO WAY does the Quran refer to Israel as a country. A very quick google source could teach you guys this. I see people saying that Palestine is not mentioned in the Quran therefore it is not a country. By that (very stupid) logic, Australia is not a country either because the Quran doesn't mention it.

Do not use the Quran to justify your genocide. That's not what it's meant to do.

So no, Israel is not older than my grandma and no it's definitely not older than Islam.

Youssef’s historical sketch conforms to the prevailing narrative of our time. Namely, that the conflicts that have beset the Middle East since the end of the Second World War are the product of decisions made by white Europeans, and imposed on a world filled with passive, innocent ‘indigenous people’. This means that the rampant anti-Semitism in the Middle East is effectively cast as a Western, European creation.

As an Arab and a Muslim, I recognise this story only too well. It is one that I inherited and told myself for a very long time. That was until I could no longer ignore the dishonesty of this account of Arab and Muslim history.

After all, if this tale is close to the truth, why have pro-Hamas protesters around the world been shouting ‘Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud’ – a reference to the seventh-century murder and expulsion of Jewish tribes from the Khaybar oasis in the Arabian Peninsula – rather than something that relates to Deir Yassin? If a massacre and the formation of Israel in 1948 was the catalyst for Muslim anti-Semitism, why did Izz ad-Din al-Qassam – the cleric after whom Hamas names its rockets and murder-brigades – form the anti-Semitic Islamist group, the Black Hand, as early as the 1930s? And why was the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini, (considered by both the British and Nazi Germany to be the leader of the Arab world at the time) so keen to bring the Nazi Holocaust to the Middle East?

If you had asked me those questions when I was younger, I would have reeled off a list of grievances about Jewish refugees from Europe infringing on native Arab populations in the 1920s and 1930s. But in recent years, I changed my mind. I looked around at my home city of London, which has been utterly transformed by immigrants like me, and saw the arrogance and hypocrisy of my position.

I was casting Jewish refugees from Europe as villains, while regarding myself as a worthy victim. I was justifying the actions of those who violently rejected Jewish migration into Mandate Palestine during the Holocaust, while considering myself unquestionably entitled to refuge in the West.

This same hypocrisy runs through the ‘pro-Palestine’ demonstrations that have erupted across Europe. These protests, shot through with pro-Hamas sentiments, have made Jewish communities fear for their safety in countries that promised they would never have to again.

"Imagine what it's like if you've been told you've got the Final Revelation from God, and the Jews are doing better than you. That's uncomfortable."

🇵🇸 Israeli soldiers were seen tearing apart a Holy Quran and throwing it on the floor of a mosque they raided and demolished in Gaza. The footage was later uploaded to their groups and social media accounts, sparking outrage among the Muslim community.

Only we can revive our language and decolonize our homeland in successful landback and get hated for it while they rewrite history.

Only we can suffer due to Islam and Islamic extremism, have that suffering ignored or justified and everyone tell us "Arabs and Muslims have every right to kill you and oppress you"

Only we can be told that we "control the world and the narrative" when there are countless "anti zionist" books and very little books talking about the evils of Islamic colonization and oppression.

Only we can be told "Muslims hate you and have been radicalized because you oppress Palestine" while never considering how they radicalized us because our pain doesn't exist or matter.
