Tarek Khoury, a member of Jordan's parliament, wrote a Facebook post where he complained about how the US is stopping countries, including Jordan, from trading with Syria. Even countries that have trade agreements with Syria are being pressured not to honor them.

But then he adds a thought about the deal where Jordan is buying natural gas from Israel, saying, "As for the Gas Agreement, all the arguments [against it] come to us from the people of our flesh ...

"Our scourge with the Jews of the inside is more severe than the Jews of the outside."

Khoury seems to be saying that since real Jordanians are all against the gas agreement, the only way it has gone through must be from "Jews on the inside," the people who facilitated it, who are even worse than "Jews on the outside" - in Israel and worldwide.

Whether he means "Jews on the inside" literally or metaphorically, the statement pretty much proves he is an antisemite.

Since the Arab world insists that it is not antisemitic and has no problem with Jews, I'm sure that there will be a huge outrage in Jordan about such blatantly antisemitic statements by a member of Parliament, certainly a censure and a bunch of angry op-eds against such blatant use of the word "Jew" as an insult.

Any day now.

Elder of Ziyon - حـكـيـم صـهـيـون



This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For 20 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
