Elder of Ziyon
In Arabic, things are a little different.
During a plenary session in Egypt's parliament on Sunday, Ahmed Khalil, head of the Parliamentary Committee of the Nour Party, spoke about Israel's anti-terror activities in Jenin.
Khalil said, "What happened in Jenin was genocide from the Israeli occupation."
Then, to make sure that no one would think that absurd accusations of "genocide" against Israel is anything but antisemitic, he added, "We have to confront the Jews because they are the most hostile of people."
He bases this expression on a verse in the Quran. That verse has been widely used to justify antisemitic writings in the Muslim world.
There has been no controversy in Egypt over explicit antisemitism being spouted in the Egyptian parliament. Which is the other reason you know that the Islamist protests that they oppose antisemitism are only for Western consumption.
