The omision of bigotry in the Arab Muslim masses, leaders, the big elephant in the room..

Since the eruption of en explosion of anti-Semitic attacks in May-2021, the overwhelming outbursts were by Arab-Muslims, and by other Muslims. Sure default-nazis also took advantage.

Sure, twisted reporting by much in media, deciding always that Arab casualties are Israel's fault knowing fully well who is really seeking non combatants' deaths, bloody images. Not to mention taking terrorists' word as facts, including number of casualties or who was a civilian indeed and how many were directly hit by their own rockets while aiming at Israei civilians. When was the last time a major network elabirated on the extensive methods and routine of the IDF not to hit other than intended target, operatives, terror tunnels, etc.?

Some liberals who adopted some vitriol have contributed to the anti-Semitism too. As leaders said correctly, such as the AJC and others. Including use of that old canard (by that genocidal Arab Nazi A. Shukairy) from 1961, the 'apartheid slur.' Which was boosted by Arab BDS bigot for years, Omar Shakir (his assertion debunked as fiction) in April 2021, using HRW for his intolerance.

Yet, if an anti-Israel hack such as Hagai Elad (of Btselem - which lost its way and honesty, since Bassem Eid left) or his likes at anti-Jewish Haaretz use vitriol, all that does not exonerate Arab-Islamic bigotry, the drive which has preceded these few. Add to that bigotry a fire of mosque in "danger" lie to enrage Muslins as a whole and you got the "perfect" horror.

The cries of "Khybar", "Allah u akbar", were/are not uncommon at so called "pro-palestine" protests.

Back to the Arab-Israeli conflict, it proves again and again, the source of the "conflict", or rather bigotry (ethnic: Arab racism & or/and religious: Islamic intolerance), since at least 1914 when the Ottomams did the right thing by banning the 'Falastin' periodical for inciting racial hatred. And then of course the early 1920s pogroms on mostly non-zionist pious Jews by infamous Mufti al-Husseini some 20 years before his pact with Hitler and the Farhud pogrom. He was also the mastetmind in using the Al Aqsa mosque and already then inventing the lie. That guy who called during WW2 to kill Jews "wherever they are" and wrote he believed in the ancient blood libels.

From Hamas interview, conducted [Mark Stone, Sky News] May 24, 2021:

'Asked if the State of Israel has the right to exist, he paused then said: "No. Why? You are coming from America and you take my house, you came from Britain and you took my brother's house, you took this. This is a settlement.

"You are not a citizen. We are the owner of this area – Arabic area. This is well known as an Islamic area."...'

Before, after, during "land" or such "negotiation", education or rather incitement - the source of the conflict needs to be addressed, denounces, acted against.

Human beings are human beings. No one is born a racist, a bigot. It's all about education.
