The anti-Israel movement has reached a new level. Now some segments of the gay-lesbian movement are accusing Israel of promoting the rights of gays and lesbians to hide Israel’s oppression of Palestinians.
This is quite interesting given the Palestinian gays/lesbians from the West Bank take refuge where? Well, in Israel!
In the meantime, go check what is happening to gays and lesbians all over the 23+ Arab and Muslim states? I don’t need to list it here, just google it: killings by Sharia Law, honor killings, torture, prison, and the list goes on and on. In fact, you don’t need to be gay or lesbian in the Arab world today to be subject to killing, torture and imprisonment. Just see what’s going on in Syria, Yemen, Libya, Egypt (yes, still in Egypt, where Christians are being killed still this week).
And where are the gays and lesbians voices of protest? Or other voices of protest? They are focusing on Israel, now, with this new twist.
So let’s look at what’s next:
- Arab students in universities across Israel. The numbers vary from school to school with the Hebrew University in Jerusalem having over 30% of Arab students in its total student population.
Next they will say that Israel admits Arab students at universities in Israel, to camouflage Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians….
- Political rights in Israel. There are several Arab members in the parliament, some of which even defend the destruction of Israel and were present last week at the signature of the Fatah-Hamas deal in Egypt. (Could a member of the U.S. Congress sympathize with Al-Qaida and agree with acts like 9/11?)
Next they will say that political rights exist in Israel, only to camouflage Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians….
- Free media. There are several Arab newspapers, radio stations and TV. They are totally free to criticize Israel. Jewish media in Israel is free in criticizing the government.
Next they will say that the media is free only to camouflage Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians….
- Freedom of Religion. Tell me where else in the Middle East there is freedom of religion, other than in Israel? Is there a church in Saudi Arabia? When was the last time Christians where killed in Egypt? And what about the daily suicide bombings between Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen?
Next they will say that freedom of religion exists in Israel only to camouflage Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians….
- Freedom of Arts. Israel has several art venues where Arabs can express themselves in every way, shape or form. Israel theater and movies have Jews and Arabs playing together, and are free to say whatever they want. Try to find in the Arab world artistic expression that criticizes the government or different aspects of the Arab culture and religion.
Next they will say that artistic freedom exists in Israel only to camouflage Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians….
As Israel celebrates 63 years since it has regained its independence, people and countries around the world still hope and act towards the destruction of the Jewish State. They never fail to come up with different ways in their attempts – whether with plain military and terrorist attacks, or with pseudo-intellectual campaigns, the latest of which is this incredible and amazingly absurd claim by some sectors of the gay and lesbian community.
Ironically, an old Arab proverb says: “the dogs bark, but the caravan moves on”. Because Israel’s values are much higher and stronger than any of its enemies and bashers, Israel will continue celebrating many more anniversaries for years to come, contributing to the humankind with its advances in science, education, literature, ethics and much more. In the meantime, the dogs will keep barking.
Happy 63, Israel!!
