Gharqad trees and other Arab conspiracy theories

You are probably familiar with the Islamic hadith, quoted in the Hamas charter:The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharqad tree would not do that because it is one of...

New Arab conspiracy theories: "Jewish Lobby" assassinated Mohammed! Jewish bankers funded Pharaonic wars!

MEMRI found this gem:Iraqi Shi'ite Militia Leader (allied with Iran) Qais Al-Khazali: "The Devil is not a theoretical enemy. He has a party that abides by his orders. As will be shown, this party of the Devil is led by the Jews."The Jews are the soldiers who serve the Devil – this is the Jewish lobby that controls the decision-making, the media, the economy, the dollar, the...

It really is quite absurd to see today's Muslims insist that there was no Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, and that somehow Al Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock were always there. Especially when one of the Arabic names of Jerusalem is "Bayt al-Muqqadas" - which comes straight from "Beit HaMikdash," the Hebrew name for the Holy Temple.I've previously mentioned a 15th century work by...

Jordanian media remains implacably antisemitic

Jordanian media has consistently been among the most antisemitic in the Arab world. Here are two examples from Ammon (Amman) News in the past couple of days.The first is a pseudo-intellectual article titled "The power and arrogance of the Jews... A recommendation for direction and confrontation" by Dr. Dirar Mufdi Barakat. It starts off with:What is Jewish hegemony and...

Head of Egyptian political party: "Jews are people of treachery"

M. Sameh Mohamed Bassiouni is the head of Egypt's Islamist Nour Party (which has seven seats in Egypt's Parliament) and is also a member of the Presidential Council.He published an antisemitic screed on his Facebook page, summarized by Fath-News which he linked to on his Twitter account:The Jews are people of treachery and not people of peace. Throughout history, they are...

Making up an Arab history of Jerusalem

In 2020, Arab News published an article titled "Arabs founded Jerusalem, says Jordan-based institute."Among the many references the document uses to make its point is the Amarna Correspondence, a series of diplomatic letters between Canaanite city-state kings and their Egyptian overlords during the 14th century B.C., which mention Jerusalem. The paper presents pictures of...

Jordanian "expert" says Israeli Left is promiscuous, the Right is Taliban

Arab media have been very excited at the doom and gloom articles in Israeli and Western media predicting civil war or a collapse of Israeli society. Haaretz articles are especially prized and translated.But it's been a couple of months, and the audience is thirsting for more. Awad Deif Allah Almalahimah writes in Jordanian news site Khaberni his own expert analysis of...

Why did the Muslims put a menorah on their coins? Could be to symbolize Islamic supremacy.

Back in 2013, I wrote an article about a curious phenomenon: some early Muslim coins, minted mostly in Jerusalem, featured a menorah.The earliest such coins were clearly copied from older Judean coins that featured the Temple menorah, with a seven branched menorah clearly visible. Here's an astonishing example that also includes a six pointed star on the other side, although...

Hamas threatens war resulting from Jews visiting the Temple Mount during Chanukah; Jordan joins the antisemitic, anti-Chanukah jihad

Hamas issued this press release in English:The planned mass incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, orchestrated by Israeli settler groups under the cover and protection of the hardline right-wing Israeli occupation government to mark the so-called Hanukkah holiday, constitute a dangerous development aimed at provoking the feelings of the Palestinian people and of all Muslims. We...

Egyptian columnist grudgingly admires Jews for never giving up in order to control the world

Here's some more mainstream Arab antisemitism, by Muhammad Kamel Al-Ayadi in Egyptian newspaper El Yom. But this one seems to have an undercurrent of admiration as well, for the Jewish tendency not to give up in the quest to control the planet.Since Jews were captured by the Babylonian leader Nebuchadnezzar and Solomon's Temple was demolished, they have not surrendered, but...

"The Roots of Violence Among the Jews from the Torah and the Talmud"

On Tuesday, in Egypt, The Karama Party organized a symposium on the topic "The Roots of Violence Among the Jews," about a book with that name, wth the author Dr. Saher Rafea.It turns out the book was written in 2008. Here's its blurb: The importance of the Torah, the Talmud, and the sayings of the rabbis in shaping the Jews' mindsets and cultural identities lies...

Let's drop the pretense that Jordan is moderate and wants peace. It is a major and official driver of antisemitic incitement.

Jordan has fully backed not only the desecration of Al Aqsa by Palestinians, but also the antisemitic incitement and lies that accompany it.From Jordan's Al Anbat News as well as Ammon News, credited to the official Jordanian Petra news agency, here are excerpts of a long article filled with antisemitic lies and incitement by interviewing "experts."Professor of Political Science...
