Iran and Arabs are alarmed: too much normalization!

As the old joke goes, Jews should read the antisemitic newspapers - that's where we can learn about how well Jews are doing.

And right now the thing that alarms antisemites the most is Israel's continuing normalization with the Arabic-speaking world.

The Iraqi National News Agency reports that a member of Iraq's parliament has found evidence that Kurds have sold oil to Israel, and he wants to bring this terrible fact up to parliament this week.

Iranian media reports on a French Intelligence Online report that says that Bahrain has officially embarked on a process of reorganizing its security and intelligence services to work more closely with the Mossad and to purchase Israeli technology that can be used for intelligence like drones, satellites, and anti-drone systems.

A group called "The Council of the General Secretariat of the World Coalition for Youth and Sports for Solidarity with Jerusalem and Palestine"  condemned Morocco's agreement with Israel for closer sports cooperation. (The group is nothing more than a few people maintaining a Facebook page.)

At Al Mayadeen, a columnist says that Israel is becoming too successful at normalizing with Morocco, brainwashing its intellectuals that Israel is an oasis of peace and democracy. He worries that Morocco might actually start teaching students that the Holocaust actually happened.

It sure sounds like normalization is going full steam ahead.
