Anti-Semitism Is Poison for the Palestinian Cause

Two years after Hamas’s attack on southern Israel, anti-Semitic violence seems to be on the rise throughout the West. On Yom Kippur, a man drove a car into a crowd outside a synagogue in Manchester, England, then got out and stabbed members of the congregation before he was also killed. On June 2 in Boulder, Colorado, an Egyptian national threw Molotov cocktails at protesters calling for the release of Israeli hostages, killing one of them. Such incidents have grown more frequent as the Israeli military’s deadly operation in Gaza grinds on.

LMAO. This Mr. Ibish is so stupid he cannot recognize anti-Semitism is a core principle of the Palestinian cause. This would be like a Nazi saying we need to cut out the Jew hatred.

Exactly right.

The Babylon Bee had it right with the story that Hamas didn’t like the peace plan that gave them everything because it didn’t let them keep killing Jews.

It’s a classic case of “the problem is not the problem.”

All the purported reasons and problems of the so-called Palestinians are fake and not the real problem. The reason “Palestinians” exist apart from Arabs in general is the “Palestinians” hate Jews and want Jews dead.

It is their very reason for being as a distinct group.

To the Palis antisemitism is a feature, not a glitch.

Antisemitism is baked into the religion of Islam. It is a fundamental part of the Koran. Anti Christianism is too.

Surah 98 ayat 6

“The unbelievers among the people of the Book (i.e. the Christians and the Jews) and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures.”

The Koran itself is hate literature.

Poison? It is the life blood of the pro-Palestinian groups. The “Palestinians” would not exist without anti-semitism. They would have a gorgeous Mediterranean resort, but they would not identify as Palestinians.
