The Jews Are Among the Most Truthful, Just And Honest People

By Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam 10 May 2024 Jews have been at the forefront of pro-Palestine protests all over the world. Their protests occupying Capitol Hill, Grand Central Station, and Liberty Statue have been the boldest and most imaginative. Without Jews joining the protests in large numbers, it would have been easy for the Western governments to criminalise the protests and ban them, which some countries attempted and failed only because of Jewish support. 1.

Sabrina Salvati Putting The October 7 Attack In Perspective On his popular talk show “Uncensored”, Piers Morgan has become infamous for brazenly propagating Israeli propaganda. His standard questions to all his guests are: 1. Do you condemn Hamas as a terrorist organisation for its atrocities on October 7 2. Do you agree that Israel has the right and duty to destroy Hamas? Once he gets a yes on those two questions, the rest of the discussion is on what is a proportionate response and whether Israel is using enough force or excessive force. If he does not get a yes on those questions, he smears his guests as supporters of Hamas/terrorism. Norman Finkelstein and Gabor Mate were two Jewish guests who handled those questions the best.

How Israelis Live So Easily With Occupation - Gideon Levy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EtNFXL_ykg Jewish authors have always been among my favourites, and I often wondered why this was so. I know now that it is not just those few authors; many have admirable qualities. Even during these dark times when genocide is going on, these Jews hold out hope for all humanity. May Allah bless them, and may their tribe increase. These Jews make all Jews lovable and are the best fighters against antisemitism. The Christian Zionists are the most extreme anti-Semites, cynically using the Jewish Zionists to further their extreme Christian agenda. The Jewish political Zionists are willing pawns in the hands of the Christian Zionists, and it is difficult to say who is screwing whom. They are both screwing each other. The good Jews are leaving Israel or being forced to leave. It appears that a complete segregation between the good Jews and the evil political Zionists among them is taking place, and it is a matter of time before Israel will have only the political Zionist Jews. ----- A frequent contributor to NewAgeIslam.com, Naseer Ahmed is an Engineering graduate from IIT Kanpur and is an independent IT consultant after having served in both the Public and Private sector in responsible positions for over three decades.
