”When Hamas attacked Israel, people went out to celebrate. When Israel started attacking Gaza, the entire Arab and Muslim communities went out on the streets everywhere to say "We need a ceasefire." I immediately thought, ”Why do you care about Arabs getting killed now? When you were completely silent and did not say a single word when hundreds of thousands of Yemenis were getting killed?"
The main reason is the perpetrators being Jewish. Because in the Arab and Muslim world, there is absolutely nothing more disgusting than to be Jewish or homosexual. The only thing I ever learned about Jews and Israelis is to hate them.
In mosques, I heard that Jews and Israelis need to be murdered. This is the consensus recitation by the Imams. We normalize the language of hatred and violence towards Jews and Israelis. I remember as a child questioning this and thinking to myself, ”But why?”
So, I wanted to come here and listen to the Jews and the people. It is such a beautiful country, and the people are so kind and loving.
As I see it, the reason for this Arabic hypocrisy of silence when Arabs are killed by other Arabs, and loud revolutions when Gaza is attacked, is anti-semitism.
A hatred towards Jews that we learn since birth.
Blame the Jews. Blame the others – and direct your anger and resentment towards the Jews and the Westerners, instead of looking internally and trying to better yourselves."
