Jewish American Organizations and anti-Islam campaigns
It is rather shameful that Jewish American organizations are either
silent amid this anti-Islam climate of the US, or are complicit by
virtue of the agenda of the Israeli lobby which is directly connected to
the anti-Islam campaigns across the US, and particularly in terms of
policies. The climate of the US is now not different of the climate of
Germany in the 1920s against Jewish people. Some will say: but it is
different because there are indeed Muslims who are terrorists. That was
exactly the Nazi retort back in the 1920s who blamed Jews for
involvement in socialist and communist organizations which were
considered terrorists by governments at the time (don't you dare here
compare the glorious socialist and communist organizations of the time
with the terrorist Jihadi groups of today). The Nazi anti-Semitic
agenda developed gradually and quietly and it had some loud voices and
some lower voices and then culminated in government after the Nazi
takeover. There are 1.5 or more billion Muslims of today, and most main
Jewish American organizations are guilty of either silence or mild
reactions, and this will poison relations between Muslims and Jews, and
between Jews and Arabs for years and decades to come. I have always
took the position that our fierce defense of Palestinian rights and of
the rejection of the Israeli occupation state should never ever manifest
itself in hostility to the Jewish people. I and other in the
Palestinian camp believed that defense of Palestinians should never come
at the expense of Jewish-Arab coexistence (but without Zionism), and
that the return of Jews to Arab lands should be supported. But the
notable voices of the Jewish American establishment are not seeing that
there are repercussions to the climate of bigotry prevailing here in the
US. A country that can turn against a religion of 1.5 billion people,
can easily one day turn against a religion of a few million people.
This climate today against Islam should be a signal to all religious
minorities about how easy it is for an arrogant self-described democracy
to descend into a Nazi-like government blatantly calling for exclusion
and intolerance.
