A Muslim born in India, I am wearing today a hoodie I got in a Palestinian second-hand store (yes) outside Bethlehem. It says simply: Israel Defense Forces.
As a member of the Muslim Reform Movement with Muslims @DrZuhdiJasser@Raheelraza@SoooMD and as a member of the Clarity Coalition with ex-Muslims like @Ayaan and @YasMohammedxx, I made this video to explain clearly: the war on Israel is not only a political problem. It is a theological problem fueled by ideologues who hate Jews and the state of Israel. We oppose those ideologies at @TheMuslimReform and @CLARITyCoaltion.
When my friend Danny Pearl was slaughtered in 2002 with his identity as a Jew and a grandson of Israel used to justify his murder, I studied the anti-Semitism and anti-Israel hate preached from the pulpit in our mosques.
I read in this video from the Quran the Saudis rewrote to add hate of Jews. The Saudis added the words in parentheses (___) to the first chapter of the Quran to make it express hate of Jews, so it reads: “Guide is to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews)…”
The Saudis added “(such as the Jews).”
That is the hate promulgated for decades by the Saudis and promulgated today by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, the government of Iran and THE GOVERNMENT OF QATAR.
Yes I’m shouting. That’s Qatar that hosted the World Cup. That pumps out propaganda against Israel through its war propaganda machine: Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera is now posting videos celebrating the war against Israel and civilians, @elonmusk.
I lost my friend Danny to this hate. It’s 21 years later. That hate is not erased yet. I extend my love today to my friends @yudapearl@orlipeter and so many whose families and friends are engulfed in war.
Let’s be honest and defeat hate and the messengers of hate so we create real and lasting peace in the sacred land of Israel. 🕊️
