Muslims Influencing Their Countries Against Israel

 Nadene Goldfoot                                               

"Only 20% of the Muslims regularly go to mosques," said Insee. "Religion's place in identity is clearly most significant for Jews (54%) and Muslims (30%), compared to Catholics (6%), and has decreased among Muslims in 11 years."

Muslims represented 10% of the French population in 2019 - 2020, according to figures by the national statistics bureau, Insee. A total of 29% of the population, aged 18 to 59, declared themselves Catholic, 10% Muslim, 10% other religions and 51% had no religion, according to the report published Thursday. So France has Aetheists=51%; Catholic=29%; Muslims=10% and of that, only 20% of Muslims go to Mosques.  France has banned a number of pro-Palestinian demonstrations, although supporters have marched in several French cities in the past weeks, including thousands demanding a cease-fire in Gaza in a protest in Paris last Sunday.

According to the US Department of State in 2017, Muslims in Russia numbered 14 million or roughly 10% of the total population. The Grand Mufti of Russia, Sheikh Rawil Gaynetdin, estimated the Muslim population of Russia at 25 million in 2018.  Russia arrests 60 after anti-Israeli rioters storm Dagestan airport

According to the latest 2021 United Kingdom census, 3,801,186 Muslims live in England, or 6.7% of the population. The Muslim population again grew by over a million compared to the previous census.  Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity. Most Muslims are immigrants from South Asia (in particular BangladeshPakistan and India) or descendants of immigrants from that region. Many others are from Muslim-dominated regions such as the Middle EastAfghanistanMalaysia and Somalia, and other parts of African countries such as NigeriaUganda and Sierra Leone. There are also many White Muslims in the country, of which most have Slavic and Balkan backgrounds (Bosnian, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Bulgarian, etc.), as well as some ethnic English converts.

 Britain has seen some of the worst scenes of all the anti-Israel marches across the world. And I say “anti-Israel” for a reason. The first protests in London happened before Israel had even begun its military response to October 7. Rallies were held within hours of the massacres of Jewish souls. To most Israelis this is nearly unfeasible.  I ask Why? This is the country who kept out all Jews from 1290 to 1655; 365 years, and the League of Nations gave them the 30 year mandate!  I think Britain fails in History!   Possibly because they have had bad relations with Jews since the 1920s when they gave away their Promised Jewish Homeland (80% of it) to Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia for their own benefit.  Their broken promises, ensuing White Paper and such, allowing Arabs in the land but keeping out the Jews before and during the Holocaust just shows where their anti-Semitism lay and their greed overcame any righteousness.Pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched peacefully through central London on Saturday demanding a cease-fire in Gaza after a week of angry debate over whether to permit the event. (Nov 11.), 4 days after the Israeli massacre.  

Between 2010 and 2016, the number of Muslims living in Germany rose from 3.3 million (4.1% of the population) to nearly 5 million (6.1%), while the rest of the population shrank modestly from 77.1 million to 76.5 million. German police crack down on pro-Palestine rallies, raising alarm.  Officers seized several banners at a recent Berlin protest, fueling fears that free expression does not extend to the Palestinian cause.

By this method of estimation, there were roughly 18 million Muslim adults in China in 2020, accounting for 1.6% of China's adult population. The two largest of the sub-groups were Hui (8.3 million adults), followed by Uyghurs (7.7 million adults).China has increasingly aligned its response with the Global South in the past month, as conflicts between Israel and Hamas have persisted and fighting entered its fourth week on Saturday.With Beijing’s diplomatic engagement with the region gaining momentum after a global gathering that championed its Belt and Road Initiative, it has more proactively expressed solidarity with the Palestinians, the Arab states, and the Russians in diplomatic talks and missions.  

Islam is the third largest religion in the United States (1%), behind Christianity and Judaism, equaling Buddhism and Hinduism percentage wise. A 2017 study estimated that 3.45 million Muslims were living in the United States, about 1.1 percent of the total U.S. population.Last week,

 22 House Democrats even joined with most Republican members to formally censure Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the lone Palestinian American in Congress and an original Squad member. The censure focused on her comments about the Israel-Hamas war, in which she repeated the Palestinian nationalist slogan, "from the river to the sea," which some consider a call for ending Israel's existence — an interpretation Tlaib disputes.  The squad started with 5, has grown to about 10, and then they try to sway House members if they can.
Our own Jewish people are leaders against Israel, such as Jewish Voice for Peace, founded in 1996, describes itself as “the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world.”After the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, Chicago-based Rabbi Brant Rosen, co-founder of JVP’s Rabbinical Council, said he grieved for fellow Jews who were killed, yet maintained solidarity with Palestinians.

 a native of Los Angeles, CaliforniaHe is a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.In my opinion, they have taken an original position comparable to Reform Judaism to an extreme position being against Zionism; creating their own unacceptance of Judaism so far that they side with those anti-Semites that want to rub Israel out. It makes me want to barf ! They are a Shonda!    

The Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish advocacy group that frequently speaks out against antisemitism and extremism, assails JVP as “a radical anti-Israel and anti-Zionist activist group that advocates for the boycott of Israel and eradication of Zionism.”

Students for Justice in Palestine has been on U.S. campuses for decades, with frequent protests calling for the liberation of Palestinians and boycotts against Israel.  The Anti-Defamation League accuses it of anti-Israel propaganda “laced with inflammatory and at times combative rhetoric.”  In a statement after Hamas attacked Israel, the group ha the audacity to say it was a “moral imperative” to support the resilience of the Palestinian people who “have endured 75 years of oppression, displacement, and the denial of their basic rights,” and said that includes “armed resistance.”  They were college students at Brandeis  and they knew nothing about their own history.  It appalls me that they are so empty-headed !  The Brandeis move of ending this group on campus  came after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s administration took the extraordinary step of ordering state universities to ban the group, saying it illegally backs Hamas militants who attacked Israel. Thank you DeSantis, from Oregon ! 

Black Muslims account for a fifth of all U.S. Muslims, and about half are converts to Islam.                                              

Elan Musk is a big anti-Semite.  Tech billionaire Elon Musk faced a third day of backlash Friday from Jewish leaders, the White House and media advertisers including Disney and Apple after he embraced an antisemitic conspiracy theory earlier in the week, the latest in a pattern of his echoing anti-Jewish bigotry going back years. 

 Musk endorses tweet claiming Jews stoke hatred of white people as ‘the actual truth’.  After X user posts message that Jewish people push ‘dialectical hatred against whites,’ billionaire owner agrees with message, following it up with further attacks on ADL.  What's wrong with this guy, anyway?  Musk has faced accusations that hate rhetoric and antisemitism have grown significantly on X since he took over the company in 2022, as well as accusations of having using antisemitic tropes himself. Global antisemitism has spiked after war erupted between Israel and Hamas when the terror group carried out a devastating attack that killed some 1,200 people in Israel, and took some 240 hostage.  Evidently people are pulling out.  Elon made the comment when a user posted a video that is part of a campaign against antisemitismdepicting a father reprimanding his son for making antisemitic remarks on the internet.                                                       

                                        Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Of course, Iran is the enemy.  Protests in Tehran, other cities were held in ‘support of the oppressed children of Gaza’ under the slogan ‘Palestine is not alone’. They use any chance they can to rub out Israel.  Why they have such a hate-on is beyond me, and the people who are part of the new Abraham accords who are also Muslims.  Iran and Israel got along fine under the Shah, and when the Ayatollahs stepped in, things changed radically in Iran.  Iran has the 6th highest Muslim population of 76,923,300 in 2011.  Shi'a-Jafari Islam is 98% of the population of this Islamic state.  
Former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke of wiping Israel off the pages of history, quoting Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the late leader of the 1979 revolution. He was a puppet of the Ayatollah and mimicked his words, brainwashed to his way of thinking. They attack
Israel by using terrorists in neighboring lands.  Hamas is funded by
Iran.  So is Hezbollah.
