Judean Kvetch - Exile Angst

Secular Jewish Zionist Musings and Aliyah of the mind

[secular-jew]

I keep hearing that, as Muhammad's murderous jihadis crusaded their way across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, the Islamic overlords "respected and even protected their subjects' right to practice their own religion, especially the Jews." If this is respect, I'd hate to see what the bad side of Islamic ethnic cleansing looks like: 622 - 627: Ethnic cleansing of Jews (who comprised roughly 50% of the population of Medina) carried out by Muhammad and his Jihadis. Over 800 Jewish men and boys (based on a pubic hair check), were killed by beheading. Women were forced into sexual slavery, and the children were given to Islamic Jihadis as slaves. Mohammad force-married Safiyyah, after murdering her husband and father.

Arab leaders promised the Local-Arabs in 1948 this victory against the "Jews". 👇 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨. 𝙒𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩

The lies get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. Every day, lies layered in top of lies. As if that makes the lie more truthful.

In 1948, Arab leadership told Arabs to leave and they’d be able to return in a couple of days, after they wiped Jews completely out of their indigenous homeland. After they finished the job of genocide against the indigenous Jews.

What they didn’t count on was losing a war they started. They always lose every war they start against Israel, but they keep coming, encouraged by European and American politicians placating their imported ☪️ voters, and appeasing Islamists.

Be like Rawan Osman

April 25, 2026:

“”A man sitting next to me on the plane asked what I did for a living. I told him I was a public speaker. He followed up, naturally, by asking what I spoke about, and I answered: antisemitism in the Arab world. But that was not precise. The truth is more specific, and perhaps more controversial.

I am a professional advocate for the State of Israel. I make my living speaking at institutions and events around the world, often invited because of the content I share online and the perspective I bring. My work is rooted in a personal story that many find difficult to place: I was born to Lebanese and Syrian Muslim parents, and yet I have chosen to stand publicly and unapologetically with Israel.

The real question, then, is not what I do, but why I do it.

I grew up in Lebanon in an environment shaped by both Christians and Muslims, each deeply convinced of the flaws and failures of the other. Observing this constant mutual discrediting led me, at a relatively young age, to distance myself from both. I became what others would label an atheist, not out of rebellion but out of a sense that the versions of faith presented to me were too simplistic, too centered on fear, and ultimately unconvincing. I did not feel that morality required the presence of a watchful, punitive creator—a kind of big brother.

At the same time, I was growing up in a region defined by recurring conflict. War was not an abstract concept; it was part of the fabric of daily life. Over time, I came to believe that the Arab-Israeli conflict, often framed in political or territorial terms, was in fact deeply rooted in religious narratives and identities. I found that both frustrating and, at times, absurd, and eventually it contributed to my decision to leave.

I lived in several countries—France, Cyprus, and eventually Germany—each move an attempt, in part, to put distance between myself and the environment I had grown up in. Settling in Germany required significant effort, not least because of the language, which I had to learn from scratch. Yet just as I began to establish a sense of stability, I witnessed the arrival of large numbers of refugees from Syria. With them came cultural, political, and religious dynamics that felt strikingly familiar.

For a moment, I considered leaving again. But by then, Germany was the seventh country I had lived in, and it became clear to me that constantly moving was not a solution. The Middle East is not something one can simply leave behind; it is part of one’s identity, whether one wishes it or not. I realized that if I ever wanted my peace of mind, something fundamental would have to change in the Middle East.

I came to the conclusion that as long as the Palestinian cause remains the central lens through which the region defines itself, many societies in the Middle East will struggle to address their own internal challenges. In my view, genuine progress requires a shift in focus, and ultimately, a reconciliation between Israel and the Arab world.

With that in mind, I decided to return to academia. I studied both Islamic and Jewish Studies at Heidelberg University, not simply out of intellectual curiosity, but in search of a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the region I came from. It was during this period that my perspective began to change in ways I had not anticipated.

Through my studies, I developed a profound appreciation for Judaism, for the historical experience of the Jewish people, and for the reality of Israel. What struck me most was not perfection, but resilience: the ability of a people to maintain continuity, identity, and purpose despite centuries of displacement and adversity. I came to see Israel as a remarkable project, one that emerged and endured against considerable odds.

At a more personal level, I also discovered that my connection to this story was not only intellectual. Even before any genetic confirmation, I began to feel that I was, in some sense, part of it. That realization was both meaningful and complicated, because it carried consequences.

I understood that taking a public stand in support of Israel would create distance between myself and parts of my background. It could mean missing funerals, losing relationships, and being unable to share in moments that matter in the lives of people I care about. These are not abstract sacrifices; they are real and ongoing.

And yet, despite that cost, I chose this path deliberately.

On October 7th, I felt that choice in its most immediate and personal form. I put everything else aside and went to Israel, not as an observer or commentator, but out of a sense of responsibility and solidarity. I wanted to stand with people I had come to see as part of my extended family, to offer support, and to affirm that they were not alone.

My work today is a continuation of that commitment. It is not only about speaking, but about bridging worlds that remain deeply divided, and about making the case—often to skeptical audiences—that a different future for the Middle East is possible.

So I suppose the most honest way to describe what I do is this: I am a professional advocate for Israel—and I do it out of love, conviction, and a deep admiration for a people and a story that I chose, and that in many ways, chose me.””

Is there any doubt among any sentient being, that Islam is a truly religion of submission, ethnic cleansing, death and destruction? For 1,400 years?

It’s another day and another attack on civilians.

There have been 49,236 (documented) deadly Allahu Akbar attacks against the world since 2001, which equates to 5 per day (yes, FIVE per day) against the world.

The colonial Islamic empire expanded by jihad and invasion - threatening its newly subjugated populations with the binary choice of “conversion or death.”

After being forced out of Europe, ☪️ has returned through mass migration, aka demographic jihad.

Today, ☪️ is offering infidels sex as an incentive: you can sexually assault and abuse infidel women, plus, you can have up to 4 wives and an unlimited number of concubines.

And when you die as a martyr in the service of ☪️, you are rewarded with 72 virgins in paradise.

No wonder ☪️ is the fastest growing religion among men, but strangely, a lot of women are signing up for this too.

Why use religion to support an israel state when the world is growing more and more atheist

Israel is a democratic state with a Jewish (ethnicity) anchor as Jews are indigenous to the land. They are decolonizing the land from the Brits and invading Ottomans, and from Islamic Jihad. Half the state is fairly atheist and 20% are Arabs, most of whom are Islamic. So Israel is tolerant to all religions and well as no religion (atheism), yet there are 56 Islamic states that are mostly intolerant. Why are you focusing on the one tolerant state in the region, a tolerance goes bends over backward to protect Christian and Islamic sites?

From an intelligent Muslim in Morocco:

Stop telling Israel to “choose peace” while you refuse to confront Hamas and the Iranian regime that make peace impossible.

I am a Moroccan Muslim. And I will say this clearly: the hypocrisy has gone too far.

There is a comfortable illusion spreading across the West — that this war is the result of “both sides,” that it can be solved with dialogue circles, that peace is just a mindset waiting to be activated. That illusion collapses the moment you face reality.

Reality has a sound.

It sounds like Hamas rockets.

It sounds like Israeli sirens.

It sounds like families running for their lives.

And yet, people sit comfortably thousands of miles away blaming Israel for defending itself, while refusing to name the forces driving this violence.

Let’s be honest.

This is not a symmetrical conflict.

On one side, you have a state — Israel — trying to protect its citizens. On the other, you have Hamas, an organization that openly calls for the destruction of Israel and the killing of Jews. Behind Hamas stands the Iranian regime, funding, arming, and spreading this ideology across the region — from Gaza to Lebanon through Hezbollah, to militias in Iraq and beyond.

So when you say “choose peace,” I ask:

Who exactly are you asking?

Are you asking Hamas to abandon its charter of destruction?

Are you asking Iran’s leadership to stop exporting violence?

Or are you only asking Israel to stand down and absorb the attacks?

Because too often, the answer is obvious.

I come from Morocco — a country where Jews and Muslims lived together for centuries. I believe in coexistence. But I also know history. Nearly a million Jews were expelled or fled from Arab countries in the last century. That did not happen because of “miscommunication.” It happened because hatred was legitimized.

And today, we are watching the same pattern being ignored again.

Many peace activists will show you images of coexistence — Arabs and Jews walking together, sharing spaces, living side by side. These moments are real. But they avoid the harder truth: coexistence cannot survive when one side is taught that the other must disappear.

You cannot build peace with Hamas while it glorifies October 7.

You cannot negotiate peace with a regime in Tehran that calls Israel a “cancer” to be removed.

You cannot “activate peace” while ignoring indoctrination, terror networks, and state-sponsored violence.

This is not about feelings. This is about reality.

Evil is real. And history has taught us what happens when the world refuses to confront it early. From Nazi Germany to today’s Middle East, the pattern is always the same: denial, appeasement, and then tragedy.

Peace without confronting evil is not peace. It is surrender.

And no nation — not Israel, not any country — can be expected to surrender its right to exist.

Some wars are tragic. Others are necessary. When a country is attacked, when its civilians are murdered, when its existence is openly threatened — defending itself is not warmongering. It is survival.

I say this as a Muslim: peace — salam, shalom — is not the absence of war. It is the presence of justice, truth, and security. It comes after you confront what is broken, not before.

I have friends in places like Iraq who live under the shadow of Iranian-backed militias. They are not talking about “activating peace.” They are hoping the world will finally confront the forces that have trapped them for decades.

So no — do not lecture Israel about peace while ignoring Hamas and Iran.

Real peace will come.

But it will only come when the truth is spoken clearly, when responsibility is named honestly, and when the world finds the courage to confront those who stand in the way of peace.

Until then, slogans mean nothing.
