With unvetted open-door immigration, any and everyone is welcome, including those who support the Palestinian jihad (called a “resistance”) against Israel, which has become a pet cause of the Left. The fervor for the Palestinian quest to obliterate Israel is inculcated into its citizens from childhood, and now, the propaganda and hatred continue in Western countries. Woke Globalists have imported the same conflicts that mark the most troubled regions of the world.   

The Palestinian National Charter, Article 22, states:

Since the liberation of Palestine will destroy the Zionist and imperialist presence and will contribute to the establishment of peace in the Middle East, the Palestinian people look for the support of all the progressive and peaceful forces and urge them all, irrespective of their affiliations and beliefs, to offer the Palestinian people all aid and support in their just struggle for the liberation of their homeland.

The Muslim Brotherhood offshoot Hamas includes in its “Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement”:

Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it” (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).

Islamic Jihad also has an “internal charter” that views Palestine as sacred, and armed struggle as the only means to liberate it. The struggle is directed against “the triple heresy and oppression of the West, the Arab regimes, and Israel.”

Historically, Jerusalem was never holy to Muslims. It is not even mentioned in the Qur’an; Muslims turn to Mecca to pray. As Morton Klein, President of the Zionist Organization of America, explains:

In the seventh century, the Damascus-based Umayyad rulers built up Jerusalem as a counter-weight and hajj pilgrimage alternative to Mecca, where their political rivals were. This is when the important Muslim shrines, the Dome of the Rock (691 CE) and, later, the Al-Aqsa Mosque (705 CE), were intentionally built on the site of the destroyed biblical Jewish temples –– a time-honored practice to physically signal the predominance of Islam.

Muslims have their own shrines in Saudi Arabia and Iran.

If Hamas, Palestinian jihad, or Hizballah launches attacks against Israel, and Israel defends itself, protests, sometimes violent ones, have begun in America and other Western countries.

On one hand, these pro-Palestinian supporters take advantage of the freedom of speech and expression to intimidate people and spread antisemitic hatred. On the other hand, anyone who calls out their hate, incitement, and encouragement of “martyrdom” in the name of Islam is called “Islamophobic.”
