Really, this is no surprise when ‘more than 300 Muslim scholars met during a conference in Istanbul to sign the “Covenant of the Muslim Scholars” to end the growing wave of normalization with Israel.
The conference’s statement confirmed that “Islamic Sharia bans normalization with Israel because of the dangers it poses to the Palestinian cause and the resistance”
The Covenant was signed by 300 Muslim Scholars from different countries, including Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Iraq, Malaysia and Mauritania, calling for an end to normalization with Israel.
The Covenant stated that “normalization with the Zionist entity (Israel) is forbidden according to Sharia, because it contradicts the requirements of faith and its obligations which is based on loyalty to the believers and their mandatory support”
And that “all attempts to undermine the Palestinian cause through the resettlement of [Palestinian] refugees, or the Judaization of holy sites (especially in occupied Jerusalem) do not establish any legitimacy for the Zionist entity and does not change its description as occupation and aggression.”‘https://ikhwanweb.com/more-than-300-muslim-scholars/

‘Austria’s education minister has ordered an investigation into a mosque in Vienna exposed as a hotbed of antisemitic and Islamist incitement.
Education Minister Susanne Raab said on Friday that the investigation of the Al-Hidaya Mosque in the Leopoldstadt neighborhood of the country’s capital was being launched in response to a detailed report on the mosque’s activities.
The 143 page report — compiled by the Documentation Center for Political Islam, a Vienna-based think tank — detailed the promotion of Muslim Brotherhood ideology by the mosque’s imam and president, Ibrahim al-Dermedash. Examining the sermons delivered at the mosque, its social media postings and the offerings contained in its library, the report concluded: “All three areas show support for the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas.”
Hamas, which rules Gaza, is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks the establishment of Islamic sharia law as the basis for political rule.
One sermon delivered by al-Demerdash predicted that the 2020s would be a decade of Islamic “renaissance” heralded by the destruction of the State of Israel, which he described as the “cursed Zionists.”
“In 2027, Israel will be wiped off the face of the earth at the hands of men dedicated to Allah, a generation of youth whose hearts cannot be penetrated by fear,” he is alleged to have said.
The sermons delivered by al-Demerdash also contained visceral attacks on Muslims deemed to show a lack of piety.
“There are (among us) those whose heads are confused and whose faith is defective,” he is alleged to have stated, according to the Austrian news outlet Der Standard on Friday. “They don’t fully understand the matter because they start from the wrong basic assumptions and because they are infected by the secular, liberal way of thinking.”
The imam is also alleged to have justified sexual assaults by Muslim men upon unwilling female partners. “The woman’s sexual refusal towards the man is permitted only if there is a medical or religious reason,” he is alleged to have said.
In her statement announcing the investigation into the mosque, Raab said she “was informed on Monday about these new findings from the Documentation Center. I therefore immediately instructed the Department of Education to initiate an investigation. The public prosecutor’s office is also investigating.”
Other politicians echoed Raab’s concern. “We must not and will not allow radical preachers in the spirit of political Islam to poison our youth with homophobic, misogynist, child-threatening and antisemitic ideas,” Ewa Ernst-Dziedzic, the human rights spokeswoman for the Green Party, told Der Standard.
Raab additionally called on the IGGO, Austria’s main Islamic body, to “fulfill their responsibilities.” In a statement to Der Standard, the organization said it would take “appropriate measures” if the allegations in the report were verified.
The Austrian authorities have been concerned with al-Demerdash since Nov. 2020, when the security authorities launched “Operation Luxor” targeting pro-Hamas mosques following an attack in Vienna by a jihadist gunman in the same month that claimed the lives of four people. Two mosques in Vienna were closed down as a result of that operation.’https://worldisraelnews.com/cursed-zionists-austrian-launches-probe-of-rampant-antisemitism-at-vienna-mosque/?utm_source=newsletters_worldisraelnews_com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=FBI+Antisemitism+Report+%27Appalling%2C+Useless%27%3B+QATARGATE%3A+Anti-Israel+Lawmaker+Caught+in+Scandal%3B+US+Equates+Terrorists+with+Victims%2C+Demands+%27Accountability%27+from+Israel&utm_campaign=20221213_m170868345_FBI+Antisemitism+Report+%27Appalling%2C+Useless%27%3B+QATARGATE%3A+Anti-Israel+Lawmaker+Caught+in+Scandal%3B+US+Equates+Terrorists+with+Victims%2C+Demands+%27Accountability%27+from+Israel&utm_term=_0D_0A_09_09_09_09_09_09_09_09_09_09Read+Now_0D_0A_09_09_09_09_09_09_09_09_09
Unbelievable that ‘A war is raging three thousand miles away from Jerusalem between two nations that share no borders with Israel, and in which it has no troops, no interests, and no involvement.
And yet somehow the war between Russia and Ukraine has come to be about Israel.
“Israel Needs to Make Up Its Mind on Ukraine,” a Foreign Policy Magazine op-ed blares as if the Jewish State were somehow a major player in a war between two much larger countries thousands of miles away. It’s as absurd as demanding that the Dominican Republic (which is still larger than Israel) make up its mind on the border clashes between India and China.
“Israel’s reaction to #Ukraine will have bearing on future aid from the US to #Israel,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger warned on Twitter. Whatever “bearing” it has won’t come from the Never Trumper ex-Republican who is retiring after becoming unelectable. But that hasn’t stopped him, or assorted politicians and media outlets, from threatening Israel anyway.
“Ukraine asked Israel – no bigger fan of Israel than Lindsey Graham – for Stingers, and apparently Israel said no,” Senator Graham said. “So I’m going to get on the phone with Israel – you know, we stand up for Israel with the Iron Dome.”
The only thing more baffling than why Graham felt the need to refer to himself in the third person is why the senator is demanding that Israel supply U.S. missiles to Ukraine. Isn’t that his job?
Despite Israel delivering 230 tons of humanitarian aid, including bulletproof ambulances, setting up a field hospital, and taking in thousands of refugees, the pressure campaign insists that it isn’t doing enough. And that the war not only involves Israel, but the outcome depends on it.
There’s notably much less interest in India, a country of 1.3 billion, which buys Russian oil, has close ties to Russia, and refused to condemn the invasion, than in Israel, a country of 6.5 million, which doesn’t buy Russian oil and did vote to condemn the invasion at the UN.
No matter what the position on the war is, the consensus is that Israel is doing the wrong thing.
The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a Soros-Koch project that attacks America for being too tough on China, Iran, and Russia, demanded to know, “Why is Israel MIA on Ukraine-Russia crisis?” The outrage at Israel for not being involved enough in the Ukraine crisis is being directed by the same leftist-libertarian group that is warning against America getting involved with articles like, “Washington Should Think Twice Before Launching a New Cold War”.
The Catch 22 hypocrisy is as obvious as the hate. If Israel is involved in a war, it’s evil, but if it’s not involved in a war, it’s also evil. Whatever Israel does or doesn’t do is an outrage.
The hatred of Israel never had anything to do with the so-called “Palestinians”, the Arabs, Muslims, or anyone in the Middle East. That’s why the same political interests are capable of taking a war in Ukraine thousands of miles away and making it all about the Jewish State.
The Ukraine war has trotted out the familiar toolbox of tropes with the insistence that Israel somehow has the ability to resolve a war it didn’t make, even as Israel’s Prime Minister Bennett scrambles around on the impossible mission of bringing peace to people who don’t want it.
There’s the Holocaust inversion with Zelensky and assorted critics depicting Ukraine as the new Jews facing a new Holocaust, with the Jews now reinvented as the unfeeling bystanders. And that leads to the anti-Zionist contention that Israel’s nationhood is at odds with “Jewish values”.
“Ukraine War Ignites Israeli Debate Over Purpose of a Jewish State,” the New York Times argued, complaining that Israel hadn’t taken in enough refugees after it took in 15,000.
(The number of Ukrainian refugees taken in by the New York Times is estimated at zero.)
Compare that to France, which took in 26,000 Ukrainian refugees, despite being ten times the size of Israel. But France, like India, isn’t full of Jews. And so there’s no contention that France which, proportionally took in far less refugees than Israel, should just stop existing.
The magical ability to make any war anywhere about Israel with the same set of familiar anti-Zionist tropes shows that these arguments were never contextual responses to regional conflicts, but a general opposition to the existence of Israel regardless of anything else.
Whatever war is going on wherever, it’s Israel’s fault and evidence that it shouldn’t exist.
The media’s attempts to link Israel to the war in Ukraine are often so tenuous as to take on their own form of surreal absurdity.
NPR found it vitally important to write an entire story based around the fact that there was a bar named the Putin Pub in Jerusalem (it’s since been renamed). When a media outlet is this desperate to negatively connect Israel to the Ukraine war, the agenda is clear.
(This is the same media outlet which claimed that it didn’t want to report on Hunter Biden’s laptop because, “We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories.”)
Ukraine’s government has colluded in the international hate campaign against Israel.
Zelensky and his government have berated Israel, exploited the Holocaust and demanded everything from Iron Dome (designed to stop crude rockets shot by terrorists, not a full assault by a world power) and the Pegasus cyberwarfare tool (it won’t stop Russian tanks), pushing for Israeli sanctions on Russia even while his government refuses to stop doing business with Iran.
In the latest bid, the Ukrainian government is demanding security guarantees from Israel, despite the fact that Israel is a country of 8,600 square miles while Ukraine encompasses 233,000 square miles. Ukraine is not only vastly bigger than Israel, it has seven times Israel’s population. That’s like Canada demanding security guarantees from Cyprus.
But that’s just the ex-comedian doing what he does. In his lecture to Congress, Zelensky invoked Pearl Harbor and 9/11, when addressing the Arabs, he brought up Syria, while speaking to the Japanese parliament, he called the Russian invasion a “tsunami” and referenced Japan’s nuclear disaster. The shallow formula of namechecking deep traumas in other countries while linking them to Ukraine and complaining they’re not doing enough to stop history from repeating itself has become a trite routine to anyone actually paying attention.
It’s the media’s fault for gleefully weaponizing Zelensky’s pressure campaign and amplifying outright antisemitism from leftists and Islamists who are happily exploiting the narrative.
Continuing his virtual world tour, Zelensky phoned in to Qatar’s Doha Forum. The Emir of the Islamic terror state of Qatar had opened the event by comparing “Palestinians” to Ukraine.
The Al Thani scion allied with Iran and Hamas then complained that, “The accusation of anti-Semitism is now used wrongly against everyone who criticizes Israel’s policies.”
Or, like Qatar’s Al Jazeera propaganda channel, broadcasts raw uncut antisemitism.
Back home the propaganda campaign against Israel is offset with weapons-grade levels of hypocrisy as bad actors tied to totalitarian regimes berate Israel over Russia and Ukraine.
William Cohen, Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Defense, went on CNN to rant to Christiane Amanpour that he was “deeply disappointed” with Israel. Cohen (despite his last name, he’s a Unitarian) and Amanpour both have a long history of hating Israel. And taking cheap shots at it.
“Are you with the Russians or are you with the United States and the West? They do have to make a decision here,” Cohen railed.
Amanpour neglected to mention that the Cohen Group has an office in Beijing, that Cohen serves on the Board of Directors of the U.S.-China Business Council and that his group includes “Chinese nationals with extensive experience in Chinese government ministries”.
The Cohen Group also boasts of “decades of experience working with officials in Moscow”, and “building relationships with government decision makers”.
Two years ago, Cohen was claiming that “President Putin is going to try and step in and be the peacemaker here” between America and Iran.
“I’m a bit more optimistic that the Russians will come in as a peacemaker,” he told CNBC.
This exciting new hatred of Israel is not about Ukraine, any more than the old variety was about the “Palestinians”. Hating Israel is in the end always about one thing and one thing alone.
Hating Jews.’https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2022/03/ukraine-shows-hating-israel-isnt-about-daniel-greenfield/

‘One of the sponsors of the Beijing Olympics and Team USA athletes is an insurance company with a history of Nazi collaboration that has lobbied Congress against paying out policies to families of Jews killed in the Holocaust.
Allianz of America, a subsidiary of the German insurance giant, is sponsoring a Team USA cross country skier and a curling team that will take part in the Beijing games. Its German parent company, Allianz SE, insured Auschwitz, Dachau, and other Nazi death camps while selling insurance policies to Jews. Allianz of America has paid $200,000 to the firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck since 2019 lobbying on the issue of World War II-era insurance payments. The firm uses its in-house lobbying team to oppose the Holocaust Insurance Accountability Act, a bill that would allow the beneficiaries of insurance policies sold during the Holocaust era to sue European insurers in U.S. federal court.
Allianz’s history of collaborating with the Third Reich draws parallels to the Beijing Olympics, which have been dubbed the “Genocide Games” because of the Chinese government’s ongoing atrocities against Uyghurs in western China. Human rights groups such as the World Uyghur Congress have called on Allianz and other sponsors to pull out of the games, or to publicly rebuke Chinese authorities for the Uyghur genocide.
Holocaust survivor groups say Allianz owes billions of dollars to survivors and the families of murdered Jews.
“It is shameful for the United States Olympic Committee to accept sponsorship from Allianz, and shameful for the Olympics itself to participate in this cover-up of Allianz’s true history and its current unmet obligations,” said David Schaecter, president of the Holocaust Survivors Foundation USA, a national coalition of Holocaust survivors and survivor groups.
Schaecter, a Holocaust victim who had 105 family members murdered by the Nazis, said Allianz has grown into the international conglomerate it is today because of $3 billion stolen from Jews.
“Instead of honoring the insurance policies it sold to Jewish families, Allianz is sponsoring so-called charity events and spectacles like the Olympics,” Schaecter told the Washington Free Beacon.
Allianz and other Olympic sponsors are reportedly paying $2 billion to the International Olympic Committee to sponsor the games, which start on Feb. 4. All of the companies are listed as worldwide partners of Team USA. One sponsor, Airbnb, reportedly paid the International Olympic Committee $500 million to serve as a sponsor through 2028. Coca-Cola and Intel are among the American companies sponsoring the games.
Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America announced earlier this month it is sponsoring gold medalist cross-country skier Jessie Diggins and a gold medalist curling team led by John Shuster. Allianz said the athletes exemplify the company’s values of “integrity, caring, excellence, and respect.”
Allianz’s past sports sponsorships have fallen apart because of its Nazi past. The company pulled out of a deal to purchase naming rights for the New York Jets and New York Giants football stadium in 2008 following protests over its ties to the Third Reich. The company dropped its sponsorship of a PGA gold tournament in 2017 after years of protest from the Holocaust Survivors Foundation USA. Allianz came under fire several years ago after the company ignored calls to cut ties with Iran over the regime’s denial of the Holocaust.
Allianz has defended its handling of Holocaust-era insurance claims. The company has touted its role forming the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims and says it has paid more than $300 million to settle 48,000 claims.
Survivor groups say the commission’s payments are a tiny fraction of the billions of dollars still owed to Holocaust victims and their families.
“The public should know that the Nazis and their collaborators also perpetrated a massive theft against the Jewish people, and Allianz was one of the worst offenders,” Schaecter, 92, told the Free Beacon.
Allianz and Allianz of America did not respond to requests for comment. Team USA also did not respond to a request for comment.’https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/insurer-with-nazi-past-will-sponsor-beijing-olympics-team-usa-athletes/
‘Jeremy Corbyn, the one time leader of the UK’s left-wing Labour Party and the head of the opposition, was barred from being reinstated as a member of parliament after a 23 – 14 internal party vote.
“Today’s…vote and Keir Starmer’s ongoing decision to bar me from sitting as a Labour MP is disappointing,” Corbyn wrote in a Twitter statement on Tuesday.
“I am grateful for and humbled by the support I’ve received, especially from my Islington North constituents. The struggle for peace, justice and sustainability goes on.”
Corbyn was suspended from the party in October 2020, on the heels of a report that found widespread antisemitism within the Labour party.
He did not accept the findings of the report and suggested it was essentially a conspiracy aimed at ousting him from power, which led to him being barred from sitting as an MP for the party.
The UK’s Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) wrote that party leaders, including former London mayor Ken Livingstone and councillor Pam Bromley, used antisemitic tropes and smears freely, and that Jewish members of the party were regularly harassed and intimidated into silence.
“We found that the Labour Party’s response to anti-Semitism complaints has been inconsistent, poor and not transparent, in terms of the process used, reasons for decisions, record-keeping, delay and failures to communicate with complainants. Some complaints were unjustifiably not investigated at all,” the EHRC wrote.
Rather than take responsibility for the issue, Corbyn said that those complaining about antisemitism within the party were doing so not out of genuine concern, but to achieve strategic goals.
He downplayed the seriousness of the issue by saying that antisemitism exists everywhere in the world and that whistle-blowers were acting in bad faith.
“The scale of the problem was…dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media,” he wrote in a Facebook post at the time.
Corbyn, an outspoken pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel activist, has been vocal about his criticism of Zionism, but maintains he is against all forms of racism.’https://worldisraelnews.com/corbyn-barred-from-returning-to-labour-party-says-decision-very-disappointing/?
‘Last weekend, a British Muslim invaded a Texas synagogue and held the rabbi and four members of his flock at gunpoint while demanding the release from prison of a biochemist known as ‘Lady Al Qaeda’. The drama flared briefly across news sites before vanishing from sight. As the Australian Jewish News observes, the assault
…failed to make even the world headlines on the ABC digital media platforms for the 12 hours the stand-off with police was taking place.
Since then, if the ABC’s internal search engine is any guide, there has been only one follow-up. Some stories, it seems, are of little but passing interest. There are terrorists, and then there are those other terrorists, the ones whose motives and religious background are best not mentioned. Diversity, don’t you know, enriches us all, so team-player journalism ignores the sand that grates in the gears of the multiculturalists’ narrative.
Daniel Greenfield, however, indulges his curiosity to report what mainstream media might have done were it actually interested in getting to the nub of a story rather than papering over unfortunate and disconcerting truths. Of Faisal Akram (above), who will never again interrupt Shabbat gatherings thanks to a sharp-shooting Texas SWAT team, he writes:
Back home, the Blackburn Muslim Community page announced that “Faisal Akram has sadly departed from this temporary world” and prayed that Allah “bless him with the highest ranks of Paradise”….
…The town has produced no shortage of Jihadists, including the youngest terrorist in the UK, as well as a number of Jihadis who traveled to join ISIS, an associate of shoe bomber Richard Reid, and a terrorist who played a key role in an Al Qaeda plot that targeted New York and D.C.
Blackburn is one of the most segregated towns in the country and has been described as a “no-go zone”. The area that produced the Temple Terrorist has one of the highest Muslim populations outside of London and some claim that flying the English flag has been effectively outlawed.
The setting couldn’t be any better for the media to whitewash the murderous terrorist with the familiar excuses that he was the victim of failed integration in the United Kingdom. His family, in an even more familiar excuse, is claiming that he “was suffering from mental health issues”.‘https://quadrant.org.au/
