Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Israel: Muslim fakes hate attack by “extremist Jews”

Aug 3, 2015 5:54 am By Robert Spencer

Hate crimes are currency, and Islamic supremacist advocacy groups are prime traffickers. In Israel, “Palestinian” jihadists use incidents such as this to stir up hatred and violence against Jews. In the United States, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Muslims have on many occasions not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. CAIR and other groups like it want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they can use them for political points and as weapons to intimidate people into remaining silent about the jihad threat.

“Lod: Arab Man Fabricates Attack by ‘Extremist Jews,'” by Ari Soffer, Arutz Sheva, August 2, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An Arab resident of Lod in central was caught fabricating an alleged attack by “Jewish extremists” Sunday morning, as tension remain high over the murder of a young Palestinian child in a terror attack Friday.

Imad Abu Sharikh was hospitalized in moderate condition after being severely beaten by a gang of youths Sunday. Abu Sharikh told police he was heading to the mosque when three “right-wing extremists” attacking him, shouting “filthy Arab, expel all the Arabs!”

The report quickly made the rounds in the Israeli and Palestinian media, along with pictures of a bloodied and battered Abu Sharikh. The claim that he had been the victim of a racist attack by Jews was particularly sensitive, coming just two days after the death of Ali Dawabsha in an attack believed to have been carried out by Jewish extremists Friday.

The leader of the Arab Joint List party MK, Ayman Odeh, rushed to issue a condemnation and blame right-wing “incitement.”

“Once again an Arab citizen (of Israel) was attacked for nationalistic motives, this time in Lod,” Odeh said. “The racist, anti-democratic discourse of ministers and MKs from the Right gives a green light for thugs.”

But while Abu Sharikh’s wounds were indeed real, his story quickly proved to have been fabricated[.]

Police soon arrested the three suspects – all of whom were Arab residents of the city.

As his version of events continued to unravel, police say it became clear the assault – which really did take place – was in fact the result of a family feud….

Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Jewish residents of Lod – who themselves are often targeted in racist attacks by local Arab extremists – voiced their dismay at the rush by some media outlets to immediately buy Abu Sharikh’s story without fact-checking.

“Again and again we get lectured by the media, while part of the media wants to only hear one side of the story,” one resident told Arutz Sheva. “Day and night Jews are bullied in Lod, and if it even reaches the media no one dares to say out loud that the attackers are Arabs.”

        Arabs attacking other arabs & muslims attacking other muslims? Not surprising, is it? Especially if one can lie about it and make Israelis seem the perpetrators. Special advice to Mr Odeh: rush to judgment more slowly … I would really like to be assured of the identity of the attackers who killed the arab baby.

    The Pallywood movie industry has been producing fake videos of Israeli ” atrocities ” and “hate attacks” against the ” poor suffering Palestinians ” for decades. Dozens of Pally kids being rushed out of ambulances covered in fake blood and spotlessly clean clothes is a good one for generating hatred for the ” baby killing Jews”.
    Swallowed hook, line and sinker by the Western MSM—

    Quelle surprise.

    How can we be sure that “Israeli terrorists” were responsible for the death of the poor Palestinian baby?

      When I saw that *story* on another site a day or two ago, I questioned the same way you have. It immediately came to mind that in the various wars hamas and others have started and fought with Israel, they have no qualms about using their own little children as shields and victims and then saying the babies were killed by the Jews.
      Who can really believe anything they say if they are saying anything about what their enemies are doing?

        Muslims deliberately target their own in order to blame the other side. This happens all over the world.
        Does anyone remember the Sarajevo market massacre? That was staged as well. It was later found that the shelling came from Muslim positions but never widely reported as the first “facts” that the shelling came from the Serbian positions.
        Muslims have learned how to deceive from their Satan “Allan”, sorry had to say it. Apologies to all Allans out there.

      yes Babs so true I was thinking the same, I know muslims will kill their own mother to frame an Israeli, and since the arabs can read speak and write in Hebrew, the writing in Hebrew Means nothing, I have read conflicting reports of this story, first it where reported that 3-4 masked men fled the scene and NeXT the locals saw settlers fleeing the scene, if they wore mask then how can you determent if they where settlers or not, this whole story stinks to high heaven let me see first the ppl take time to write on the walls in public smashes the windows throw a firebomb through the windows, and goes to the next house and does the exact same and nobody heard or did anything.

    Let me guess: he never amended his statement once the truth came out.

      Let me think Baltimore? I think it is a type of theater, add a camera and screaming actors to bring more media. I know that Israel has been marketed as the predator…relieved to hear it was a family feud…to lay to rest for this incident, the theater of injustice. Facts do matter.

    Let’s face it, Israel is crawling with Jewish predators. I think the only feasible alternative for the Muslims is to go to Syria where they can be safe.

    One thing that gets lost is that Israel is a diverse country, like any other, and it has criminal elements like any other, even if they pose as religious groups.

    Israel has a functional justice system and a police force that seems relatively untouched by corruption.

    There will be crimes by Jews against Arabs. A minority of criminals posing as ultra-orthodox Jews has probably harassed Christians, Arabs, and Jews not sufficiently pious. The big difference is, every aberration of justice becomes an existential argument concerning Israel’s existence. The construction of a few apartments in land clearly occupied by Israel becomes an international incident involving the heads of state of both Israel and the US. Israel, by the way, does charge and imprison violent criminals. It seems part of the problem is that Israel’s judiciary, like Obama’s far-left, give-the-criminal-every-break appointed judges, tie the hands of police against truly violent ideological criminals.

    http://www.haaretz.com/beta/1.668796

    My preference is that Israel be treated like any other country representing Western values and threatened by hostile neighbors on all sides. Israel’s policy is not always US policy. But where the US asserts its own interests, which it should, the US should also keep in mind that the absolute survival of Israel as a strong country is a critically vital interest of the US.

    Disinformation? By Islamic supremacists? We’re shocked!

    Ahmad, Book 6 – 459 – Muhammad said: “Lying is wrong, except in three things: the lie of a man to his wife to make her content with him; a lie to an enemy, for war is deception; or a lie to settle trouble between people”

    Al Ghazali, the medieval Muslim theologian stated: “It is sometimes a DUTY to lie… if lying and truth both lead to a good result, you must tell the truth, for a lie is forbidden in this case. If a lie is the only way to reach a good result, it is allowable.”

    Whatever promotes Islam is considered ‘good’, so any lie or misrepresentation that promotes Islamic supremacism is ‘OBLIGATORY’.

    It’s a miracle, really, that Israel gets up every morning to continue to exist with these fakers and their fake journalists. The Arabs are so consumed with generational hatred that they can not only not think straight, but apparently don’t even know the difference between truth and lies.

    For anyone who has never been to Israel (I haven’t) — there is a great book out that is a primer for before you go. Written by the rare real journalist investigating the good the bad and the ugly. The title is kind of quirky — but apparently it’s the Arab’s end game since time immemorial:

    Actually, we are paying attention in the West. Our media is corrupt too. We want Truth and safety for all and peace but it seems the same story everywhere – muslims causing trouble. Don’t believe that we trust everything we hear in United States. obama most certainly does NOT represent us whatsoever.

    Hate crimes are currency.

    There is great wisdom in this line by Spencer. To put it into a syllogism, currency is stored energy (as per James Rickards), so hate crimes are a currency of a stored energy to… what? To take over the world is what. Much like communism, but for different reasons. The currencies differ, but they share one thing: enmity to human freedom.

      Exactly.
      In the UK many so called “islamophobic” incidents are lies.
      A notorious one happened about 5 years back when a mohammedan
      “community leader” claimed he had been kidnapped by the BNP and taken in
      a car boot & dumped in Epping Forest.
      The police spent days on what was obviously a very important case,
      since it involved an offense against those Very Special Immigrants
      Who Are Not Expected to Respect Us.
      Turned out to be a blatant & crude lie, &, for once, the lying religionist
      was punished.
      In the UK most “islamophobic” crimes involve women in full Islamonazi
      regalia being looked at in a hostile way.
      Women in burkas & face masks are no more part of society, than deep
      sea divers are part of the sea bed.
