“The Arab Muslim who believes in peace between Arabs & Israel” | Ollie Anisfeld and Loay Al-Shareef

“Islam needs a reform." "Allah assigned the Holy Land to the Jews". "From the River to the Sea should be banned." 

Ollie Anisfeld and Loay Al-Shareef have a conversation about Israel, Islam, Judaism and creating lasting peace between Jews and Arabs. They speak about both the political and theological issues surrounding the Middle East conflict. A fascinating discussion.

Al-Shareef repeats time and again how Arabs in the Middle East are taught to hate Jews. That Jews are liars, cheats, haters, murderers. That they are “apes and pigs”. Arabs are taught that with their mother’s milk. Most continue to believe that. That’s what most people would do. Continue to believe what’s taught them as fact, from the time they parted their umbilical cord. 

The “two-state solution” won’t work not because Israelis no longer support it. But because the Arabs living in Palestine have never accepted it. Not from the beginning. Not for the middle. Not now. Not ever. 

Luvvies in the west need to understand and internalise that fact. To date leaders in the west, and China, keep parroting it as a “solution” because that’s all they have. The alternative is to heap the blame where it belongs: on local Arabs. On Hamas. On the PA. And that won’t do. As much because of their own Muslim communities who are now so numerous as to be a major voting blocks (at least in the west), as for any principle of self-determination.
