 [IsraelTimes] Leaders of various groups warn against 'those who cynically use' Israeli-Paleostinian conflict 'to vilify Jews or promote anti-Semitic tropes'
| Taqqiya? Heartfelt sentiment from the assimiliated? Some of each? Should we be pleased that, whatever the underlying attitude, they feel the need to be seen saying this? |
Moslem leaders took out a full-page ad in a major British newspaper condemning anti-Semitism.
"We understand that many in our country empathize with the Paleostinians and their right to a sovereign state," said the ad Thursday in the Telegraph, signed by a group called Moslems Against Anti-Semitism.
"However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome...
we must be ever vigilant against those who cynically use international issues to vilify Jews or promote anti-Semitic tropes."
The ad was signed by the leaders of groups including Faith Matters, a Moslem anti-extremism group; the Association of British Moslems, and Tell MAMA, a clearinghouse for complaints about anti-Moslem attacks.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews praised the ad on Twitter. "Incredible solidarity ‐ a full-page ad by Moslem sisters & brothers in today’s @Telegraph," it said. "Thank you. Together we will defeat the twin evils of antisemitism & anti-Moslem hate."
Last week, the Board of Deputies had joined Tell MAMA in condemning Islamaphobia, when that group on May 8 rolled out a report on anti-Moslem bias in Britannia.
Also Thursday, the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism and Faith Matters joined in calling on Britannia’s Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, to ban a parade planned in London next month because it will include flags of the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah, the Evening Standard reported.
The parade is planned for Quds Day on June 10, when Iran’s theocracy has called on followers to condemn Israel’s capture of East Jerusalem in 1967. Hezbollah is an ally of the Iranian regime.
Quds day, the Jewish and Moslem groups said, "is a rallying point for anti-Moslem bigots who wish to portray all British Moslems as terrorist sympathizers, and for anti-Semites, who admire Hezbollah’s stated mission to seek out and murder Jews around the world."
