Another Muslim understanding Israel after a lifetime of hate.. I translated the following caption of his interview and he is speaking in English: Im a proud Zionist, a Muslim, and I love Israel, but it wasnt always so. In fact, for many years I was the exact opposite. I experienced myself anti-Semitic activity and rising anti-Israeli campuses in Britain, because I myself was anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli activist I grew up in a Muslim community in the UK, and was introduced to materials and opinions Microbe denounced Israel and the Jews as thieves and killers, and at worst had called for the destruction of the Zionist entity and Jews. In short, there was no room for a Jewish State in the Middle East. The constant stream of hatred toward Israel has an enormous impact on his views of a man who grew up in such an environment. Whats more disturbing is that many of these people were not extremists or radicals, but when it came to Israel, indeed there are fierce rhetoric, combined for casual talk seems Semitism which was very common. For example, stop being a Jew was used as an insult. However, my father was much more shameless than that and praised Adolf Hitler as a hero for his failures was not only killed enough Jews. At 18 I was already completely brainwashed by radical Islam, and hatred toward Israel and the Jews off by images of death and destruction while Arab on Jihad music and speeches by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, or Osama bin Laden. These views grew stronger when I participated in the Nakba Day demonstrations, which saw the end of Israels speakers while Hezbollah flags fluttering proudly in the Centre of London. Israel has to case? Of course me the answer was negative. No doubt, even moderate clerics and I refused to denounce terrorism against Israel. Obviously they deserve, for Israelis, so I believed. So whats changed? How has so much hate for love and affection that Ive to Israel and the Jewish people I found myself in Israel-Palestine section of a local bookstore and came across a book by Alan Dershowitz, the case for Israel. According to my perception of the world, Jews and Americans dominated the medias regifting me a fruit basket, and after quickly in the back cover, mirror giachkati evil Zionist propaganda. They feel obligated to express an opinion on everything thats happening in Israel. What drives them is the grudge about the right to self-determination. Maybe you have a State, but will continue to give you 24/7 to do it however, I decided to purchase this book, out of felt satisfaction that soon could analyze this piece of propaganda and prove that Israel is not case, and thus the findings as a victory of the Palestinian cause. While reading case of Dershowitz and how crisp the many lies that Ive seen them have indisputable truths, I found myself searching desperately for an opposite. But all I found was a hollow rhetoric, I believed her for many years. Israel decided to see for myself I had a crisis of conscience, and there began a period of research is skewed. I dont have anything that was even close to being positive about Israel. Now I didnt know what to believe. So long believed blindly in others, but suddenly I found myself asking myself if I was wrong. I got to the point where I felt I had no choice other than to see Israel. I knew the only way I can find out the truth. Although it may sound cliché, it was a visit that changed my life. Not racist, apartheid State did it the opposite. In synagogues, mosques and churches, Jews and Arabs live together, and minorities who play a huge role in all aspects of life in Israel, the army and the judicial system. It was a rattling experience opened her eyes. It wasnt the evil Zionist Israel who told me about it. After a profound inner knowing what I believed was right. I did, and I had to have it. However, I had to deal with a big question: whats next? For years I fought against Israel, but now I already knew the truth. Now, the choice was clear: to stand with Israel, that country is tiny, free and democratic, which makes giant steps in the fields of medicine and research, yet fall victim to the same lies and hatred that it took over. The decision was not easy, as it turned out very clearly. Ive dealt with my community hostility and intolerance of the Jewish community in Britain, but this is the reality of Israel support in Europe today. It is simple, and thats exactly what makes this necessary. This isnt about religion and politics, but really. The truth about Israel, not sound while the ranks of blind hatred-filled continue to grow. Many of them are exposed to the real world, away from the empty rhetoric and political passwords are so loaded. We can change things, but we have to be strong and United. Israel is a Jewish issue. Were talking about freedom, human rights, democracy and all those values that are cherished by Western countries. Its trying to be a light unto the Nations. The international humanitarian activities of Israel speaks for itself, but if you dont spread this message, no one does it. We dont have to bow our heads and open apology that Israel isnt perfect. No need to fear to say: Im proud Zionist and I support Israel. Do you do it? Kasim haapis, 28, a Muslim Pakistani family, and am proud to stand with Israel. It runs the website The name Of Israel, and write a blog. He also was among the Advisory Committee for the British branch of the Organization, StandWithUs, promotes Peru-messages and fighting anti-Semitism.
