Raleb Majadele is just a small fry :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by M.D'Souza (United States), May 31, 2007 at 19:04

Raleb Majadele needs to ask the current Pres. of India - Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam who is a notable scientist & engineer, how he honors the National Anthem of India written by an Indian for all Indians.

The anthem includes Punjab, Sindh (currently Pakistani territory) and Bengal (part of it currently in Bangla Desh), because they were Indian territories ceded to the Muslims in 1947. Hatikva expresses Israel's hope. So what's wrong in Majadele singing it?

Compared to Dr. Kalam, who is a staunch nationalist, Majadele is just a small fry that is too petty minded to honor Israel's national anthem.
