From the beginning of the war on Gaza the Zionist propaganda claims that the pro-Palestinian great movement is Anti-Semite. Some idiots may believe this ugly propaganda and the pro-Zionist government is using this propaganda to attack democratic eights.
The nature of this cheap propaganda has been exposed lately as the Israeli government has invited the real Anti-Semites-the European far right to a conference to coordinate their joint Islamophobic propaganda and actions.
According to “Israel Today”, the so called a “conference with European far right anti-Semite parties “initiated by Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Shikli, which will take place this week in Israel with the participation of representatives from around the Jewish world and representatives of right-wing parties from Europe, it caused a storm and led to a wave of cancellations. About 10 prominent participants from the Jewish communities around the world have announced in recent days that they will participate only in part of the conference, which will be held at the President’s Residence, or that they will boycott it entirely.
The figures that were invited and who sparked the storm were Jordan Bardella and Marine Le Pen, leaders of the National Union party in France, a party founded by Le Pen’s father, Jean-Marie, who has a record of anti-Semitic views, as well as senior figures from other right-wing parties such as Vox or the Sweden Democrats.”
In an interview, Minister Shikli responded to all the accusations against him by senior members of the Jewish community, and expressed his own extreme right-wing position: “I deny the claim that the right-wing parties are the main threat to Jewish life in Europe. The threat is different: radical Islam. The proponents of political correctness find it difficult to recognize this and are stuck 50 years ago.” [i]
What all these European Anti-Semite have in common is not only a history of Anti-Semitism but they also support the genocide of Israel against the Palestinians. It is clear to Shikli that anyone who chooses to support the State of Israel should be welcomed. In the past year, the Minister of Diaspora Affairs is leading a new line of government policy to open the gates to those parties with which the Foreign Ministry has systematically boycotted relations. This line was breached only recently by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, but the one who opened the door was Shikli.
Even Maariv wrote:“To define the initiative to hold a “state conference to combat anti-Semitism” in Israel with the participation of extreme right-wing people from Europe as a foolish and ignorant event is a flattering definition. It is no coincidence that the initiative to organize the conference and invite extreme right-wing people from Europe, most of whom are identified, are known to be avowed anti-Semites. It is by Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Shikli. As in this position, Shikli proved that he has no significant connection to the Diaspora, no special affinity, no special interest and no concern for that.In his initiative to hold a conference to combat anti-Semitism with the participation of representatives of extreme right-wing parties abroad, some of them active anti-Semites, Shikli proved that he has no idea what anti-Semitism is in the essential sense, and a pinch of knowledge about the history of the pandemic and its lethal presence in the life of the Jews.” [ii]
“Shikli is not backing down from his position despite the wave of cancellations that include the president of the European Jewish Congress. Shikli claims that these parties must be examined against actions and statements in the present. “I met Bardella after he chose not to speak at a conference where he was doubtful. This week, he demanded clarification in the European Union about the relationship between UNRWA and Hamas, and spoke out against a Palestinian state after October 7. He and Marine Le Pen condemned the arrest warrants issued by the ICCagainst Netanyahu and Gallant. Marine Le Pen also expelled her father from the party, and he was indeed a hater of Israel.” [iii]
Shikli harshly criticizes the current European leadership. He is on the record for saying that when “I look at Emmanuel Macron from an Israeli perspective, he is a huge disappointment. He’s a very weak man and I don’t see him as a leader. He didn’t say a word about the ICC, nor about UNRWA.”
According to him, behind the wave of cancellations is media manipulation: by the liberal Zionists who write in Haaretz. A newspaper that has become one of the main centers for the dissemination of auto-anti-Semitic propaganda against the State of Israel. After the Bardella visit to Israel, he said “the citizens here will be exposed to his love for Israel and they will understand that just as they were told that Milley, Geert Wilder and Trump are extreme right-wingers – here too we are talking about empty words and threats.”
Down with the real Anti-Semitism supported by the Zionist state!
For Palestine, red and free from the river to the sea!
