If an Arab leader giving New Year's greetings in Hebrew upsets you, you just may be an antisemite

The Foreign Minister of the UAE and the Bahraini ambassador to Israel both issued Rosh Hashanah greetings on Sunday on Twitter in Hebrew.

Both of them extended their greetings to Jews worldwide.



This naturally brought out the Arab and Iranian antisemites, hiding their hate behind the pretense that these greetings were to Israel.

Iran's Abna News wrote that Arabs were surprised and upset over the tweet. 

Jordan's Al Majd, a pan-Arab nationalist news site, called both Arab officials "traitors" for tweeting in Hebrew and damned them saying "God's curse on them."

Abu Zayed had tweeted Shana Tova greetings in 2019, before the Abraham Accords, and in 2020. Arabs expressed anger on those occasions too.
