Let the conspiracy theories begin!A senior rabbi in the United Arab Emirates has revealed plans to develop the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) first fully-functioning Jewish neighborhood as the population there continues to grow.“We will be seeing more houses of worship, schools—from nurseries to higher education—a dedicated place for the mikvah, more kosher food establishments, a community center,” described Rabbi Dr. Elie Abadie as reported in The Jerusalem Post. “What we need is a Jewish neighborhood, and I have been speaking with a few real estate developers about this.”He added that “we would like a neighborhood with a synagogue, private homes, condominiums, hotels, shopping centers.”
Al Akhbar is very upset at this plan:
The Emirates will add, to its many features, a Jewish neighborhood, which it apparently claims to be a symbol of tolerance, but in reality it is an attempt to integrate security with Israel, which is required to protect the Abu Dhabi regime, with the decline of the American guarantee for it and other Gulf regimes. As for the goal for Israel, it is the settlement of the Arabian Peninsula, where this neighborhood will represent the first Israeli settlement outside the “land of milk and honey”, to be spread in one way or another later on to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the Sultanate of Oman
I'm not certain how seven million Jews will occupy the lands of 100,000,000 people, but those Jews are smart, so they'll find a way.
