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

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.

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. Do watch these
videos, the link to which is below:

2. The Zionist project began in 1917 – much before the holocaust.
Ironically, the Zionists collaborated with the Nazis as they saw that was the
only way the Jews could be persuaded to come to Palestine.

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.
