Israel: Muslim MK Zoabi says Jews not entitled to self-determination, but “Palestinians” are

28

This is a member of the Knesset expressing her Islamic Jew-hatred. The fact that she is a member of the Knesset gives the lie to the entire “Palestinian” victimhood narrative. How many Jews are members of Parliament in Muslim states? But her vicious opposition to the state she represents ought to disqualify her from any representative role.

“Arab MK Zoabi: Jews not entitled to self-determination,” by Lahav Harkov, Jerusalem Post, October 13, 2017 (thanks to Mark):

The Jewish people do not have the right to self-determination, though Palestinians do, Joint List MK Haneen Zoabi said in a speech in Dallas last week.

Zoabi said “the Jews are not a nationality, so we cannot talk about self-determination for the Jewish people.”

However, she added, “the Israelis, they can have self-determination, but not as a Jewish State, within a secular democratic state.”

On Saturday, Zoabi was the keynote speaker at a gala in Dallas for the Jerusalem Fund for Education and Community Development, an American pro-Palestinian organization.

Zoabi called for Palestinians to “define the matter of self-determination – not for the Jews, for the Israelis.”

The Jerusalem Fund removed the video of Zoabi’s speech from YouTube, but a 40-second clip is still available on the Channel 20 News website.

According to Channel 20’s translation of the speech, Zoabi said it is “absurd” to think that Jewish and democratic can go together, and that Israel has racist laws, citing the Law of Return as an example, as well as not automatically allowing Palestinian spouses of Israeli Arabs from automatically becoming citizens.

According to one of the Basic Laws, anyone who denies Israel’s existence as a Jewish and Democratic state, incites to racism or supports armed conflict against Israel by an enemy or terrorist organization is disqualified from running for the Knesset. Both Zoabi and the Balad party, of which she is a member and which is currently part of the Joint List, have been blocked by the Central Elections Committee on those grounds, however, the Supreme Court overturned the ban….

Zoabi said “the Jews are not a nationality, so we cannot talk about self-determination for the Jewish people.”

I would agree, at least since the diaspora, Jews art not a nationality. German Jews historically had little in common with Yemeni Jews- other than their shared religion and something of a common genetic heritage. But Jews are a group of people bound by a common religious heritage (one that doesn’t compel them to make war on the infidel) and a long term aspiration to return to their native land.

“Palestinians” are a fake nationality, one that was created in the last century and only assumed a widespread acceptance after the 1967 Arab Israeli war. Even then, much of that identity was tactical. For example, the head of a PLO splinter group- I’ve forgotten his name- declared something to the effect that “all people need a myth, and right now we need a myth of a Palestinian identity. Once we have defeated Israel, all of Palestine will unite with Jordan.” You may recall this was a time when there was much talk of “the Arab nation” and Syria and Egypt had formed a “nation” called the United Arab Republic” (it didn’t work).

Try asking a “Palestinian” what was the name of a Palestinian national leader before 1950. Or ask what was the name of the currency the nation of “Palestine” had? On any date in history, what was its conversion rate to, say, the British pound. Or ask when, historically, the land the Romans called Palestinae, in an effort to remove the Jewish connotations of the word Judea, became Arab. Was it when the forces of jihad swept into the area in the 7th century?. You will get some entertaining answers.

There was, and is today, a nation called Israel. Jews have a much better claim to being indigenous to the Holy Land than people of European- or Arab- ancestry do to North America.

There was never a nation called Palestine. Palestine is a nation that never was for a people who never were.

Every nation begins at a point in time. Just because a nationality is recent does not mean it isn’t real. The people who are the Palestinians now were Arabs living in the Ottoman Empire a hundred years ago, which by then had already been subverted by Rothschild-financed infiltrators called “The Young Turks.” Led mostly by Jews, and by agents recruited by Jews through Alliance Israelite Universelle (Mehmed Talaat Pasha), the Young Turks carried out the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

Oh most of us Americans don’t like Muslims any more than we like Jews. We are, in fact, indifferent to which of them wipes out the other. Our government does not speak with our voice, however. It has been hijacked by Jewish finance and a Jew-controlled media, and the “deep state” is a traitor to us.

Demented, “progressive” Jews (in Israel and the US) that support / enable / abet / legitimize / condone / assist / champion /encourage / aid / endorse Jew hating Muslims (most Muslims hate Jews…), are 1000 times more dangerous to the future of Israel and the Jewish people (not to mention the Free World at large…), then 1.6 billion primitive / barbaric / Antisemitic / Anti Christian / blood thirsty Muslims, will ever be…

This is an argument of false equivalence. The muslums have already slaughtered more than 10,000 people in the 21st century in the name of allah, the barbarian. Then there’s the inconvenient fact of the tens of millions of people being enslaved by muslums across Africa and the millions of kafir being persecuted in all muslum states.

I am talking about the west, the free civilized world that has managed to emerge out of the dark ages of blood thirsty barbarism and uncompromising zealotry, which still plagues the Muslim world

At this juncture, absent a major religious / cultural / social reformation (like the Christians have gone through in Europe & America) that would have made them more compatible to modern western life, any rational non muslim would lose hope that Muslims (most of the 1.6 billion of them) will evolve into a more enlightened, tolerant collective of people any time soon thus I don’t give a frickin dam what these zombies for Allah do to each other in their north African / middle eastern / central Asian hell holes

The tragic aspect of the internationalist left / globalist / “progressives” (Jews and non Jews alike), is that they are hell bent to aid and abet the ultra aggressive, malignant cancer of political Islam (‘Muslim Brotherhood” & Iran), to inject itself into the heart of the free world (creeping Sharia / pro Islamic PC + allowing the chaos re ISIS / Iran, spill over into the west with uncontrolled / unvetted immigration) which presents a clear and present danger to the security of the free world (in the short term) and a grave danger to the societal / economic viability (demographics > Muslim gaining dominant political power in European Capitals / densely populated Metropolitan eras > inevitable civil unrest > civil wars…) of the west in the longer term (2025 and beyond)

Unfortunately the “progressive” Jew problem / threat, looms large both in Israel and in the US as the left as a whole (Jews being an important segment of that group) use their considerable powers / leverage (in politics, the MSM, Academia, the bureaucracy [“Deep State”], big businesses, the Entertainment & arts establishments [Hollywood], NGO’s) to “Open The Doors of the Kingdom” if you will, wide open… With out the fanatic / consistent help of progressives (much of which was bought and paid for with Muslim money), the backward / degenerate / primitive Muslims, would never have been able to achieve anything close to what they have achieved to date

“progressives” are like traitors giving vital military advice and handing the gate keys of the fortified fortress (The “West”) to hordes of Muslim Orcs ready to storm the protected oasis of freedom, enlightenment and prosperity, for the sake of rape, pillage and conquest

The leftists might be just as dangerous as the muslums, but can you really say they’re more dangerous? After all, it was f’ing muslums who invaded Israel on three different occasions with genocidal intent.

I wonder if that creature has any concept of hypocrisy? I do mean this as muslims seem to be the absolute ultimate hypocrites , yet if you tell them this they become(*shock*) offended. It would seem that the use of the words is known but that the concept of supremacist hypocrisy is so well indoctrinated that they do not see themselves actually doing it as it is not choice but automatic. This is exactly the sort of Pavlovian response that children indoctrinated by communism or Nazism showed and in the latter case it took less than 10 years while islam has had 1350.

“The fact that she is a member of the Knesset gives the lie to the entire “Palestinian” victimhood narrative.” Completely false. Arab members of the Knesset are suspended the moment they do the least thing for Palestinians. The most recent example of this, that I know of, is the case of Jamal Zahalka, who was suspended from the Knesset because he attended a meeting with the families of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces and whose bodies were held by Israel.

Arabs in the Knesset are little more than instances of political showcasing. They don’t have any real authority or power. They serve as false icons, as distraction, to which the government of Israel points as it foments hate and racism against Arab citizens of Israel and Palestinians.
