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

Video: “Where are your Jews?” Muslim countries’ hypocrisy rebuked at UN Human Rights Council

Mar 24, 2017 1:41 pm By Robert Spencer

These countries exiled nearly a million Jews in 1948, and now they are posturing about Israel’s supposed “apartheid” policies, when Arab Muslims in Israel serve in the Knesset. The hypocrisy is astounding, and generally never noted. Bravo to Hillel Neuer for calling out these self-righteous hypocrites.

“UN Watch Fires Back at Countries Accusing Israel of Abuses, ‘Where are your Jews?,’” by Jack Heretik, Washington Free Beacon, March 24, 2017 11:16 am

UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer shot back at countries accusing Israel of apartheid and violence against Palestinians, asking them where the Jewish populations in their countries have gone.

During a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council on Monday, several Middle Eastern countries took turns bashing Israel, saying that it has imposed apartheid and violence against Palestinians. A Palestinian representative was joined by Qatar, Sudan, Syria, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia in criticizing Israel.

Neuer was then recognized to respond to the accusations from the representatives, as well as those from a UN report.

“Everything we just heard, from the world’s worst abusers of human rights, of women’s rights, of freedom of religion, of the press, of assembly, of speech, is absolutely false and indeed Orwellian,” Neuer said….

“Israel’s 1.5 million Arabs, whatever challenges they face, enjoy full rights to vote and to be elected in the Knesset, they work as doctors and lawyers, they serve on the Supreme Court,” Neuer said….

“How many Jews live in your countries? How many Jews lived in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco?” Neuer pointed out. “Once upon a time, the Middle East was full of Jews.”

Neuer went through a list of those countries asking, “Where are your Jews?” after stating how many Jews used to live there.

“Where is the apartheid, Mr. President?” Neuer asked.

“Why are we meeting today on an agenda item singling out only one state, the Jewish state, for targeting? Where is the apartheid, Mr. President?” Neuer said.

For a substantial amount of time following Neuer’s remarks, the council was silent.

    My world history for that region is somewhat rusty. One of the Islamic countries leveled a charge that Israel was trying to “Judaize Jerusalem”, so my question to anyone up on their history is this – Wasn’t Jerusalem built by the Jews long before Mohammed and Islam was born? Didn’t the free ranging ancestors (shepards, farmers, etc.) of some Palestinians today live without a central city back then?

    If Jews built Jerusalem then how can they be trying to Judaize their own creation? Is that like saying Henry Ford tried to automobilize the Model T car and how dare he?

    I applaud you Mr Hillel Neuer and I fully agree.

    Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and “Palestine” which is a state that does not exist, where are your Jews??
    Just know that the God of Israel laughs at your efforts, He will not forget His promises, and He promised the land of Canaan to Israel. You are fighting against The Most High who will protect His chosen people.

      The ‘god’ you refer to does not do much to protect ‘his’ followers He did not protect the Jews in Nazi occupied Europe and he does not protect the Christians and other minorities in IS territory, or those in other lands dominated by Islam. Does ‘god’ protect from earthquakes, floods, vocanic eruptions, disease.
      Your ‘protection’ is illusory

        Dear BC, Yes of course people have killed Jews, and people hate Jews. And there is another force in the world, Satan.
        But the Jews are back in Israel, after 20 centuries in the diaspora, this has been prophesied in the Old Testament. And in Zachariah it is prophesied also that in the last days all nation will rise up against Israel and will kill more, but then at that time, the patience of God with His enemies will end and He will come in Person to rescue.
        God is true to His plan and promises. Hitler is dead, Arafat is dead, Osama is dead, Nietsche is dead, but Jesus has risen from the dead (Easter). Jesus was also a Jew and many Jews will rise from the dead when He returns.

    ……………………………

    Wow! This is *never* mentioned, and democratic Israel is unilaterally abused. Kudos to Hillel Neuer for calling them out. Of course they were silent after this–what could they possibly say?

  5. Voytek Gagalka says

    Mar 24, 2017 at 3:09 pm

    Missing from that list is Saudi Arabia. And where are those Jews in Saudi Arabia now? We all know: they were slaughtered by Mohammed and his companions on start of Islamic era, their implementation of policy of ethnic cleansing, making Arabia peninsula completely “Judenrein.” Their (Arab) silence on that is deafening.

    Bravo!!
    The haughty arrogance in these ugly disgusting liars accusing Israel, is such obvious, simple fury at its existence. Then that dumb deflated silence afterward–they all KNOW where their Jews are. (Not to say they’re embarrassed or shamed…)

    More class from the “United Nations” schoolyard– a gang of poor, stupid, thick-necked bullies beating the polite, well-dressed, ‘different’ kid who has it all over them.

    • Mark Swan says

      They may be embarrassed by being caught in the open lying, but Arab Muslims will not
      be ashamed of hating Jews without a cause, they take a sickening pleasure in doing this.

      Even better than hearing these facts articulated at the antisemite UN, is the profound silence to all of these legitimate questions…*crickets*…crickets! US and Israel, get OUT of the UN! Out out! And take our money with us. The current mass migration is going to eventually collapse all of Europe. These mostly young strong arrogant misogynistic entitled male invaders will never assimilate nor will they ever contribute to their host countries in any way. Europe is gone. Canada is next. The hardworkimg tax paying civilians will not be able to sustain the parasites pouring in, raping the women and children with impunity. Tourism will cease to exist because if folk want to visit Middle East cesspits they’ll simply go to the ME. Sooo happy and grateful I’ve seen most of the world when it was still interesting, safe and palatable. These invaders won’t be adding any positive contributions, on the contrary, they’ll continue robbing their new countries of anything good and positive and forcing their alien 7th century mentality onto each population. RIP Europe. It was great knowing you.

    Genocide and ethnic cleansing go hand in hand with Islam. No one moves INTO a Muslim country. They may plan to work there temporarily, but no Muslim country is a DESTINATION for anyone.

    Do Muslims ask themselves why so many Muslims want to live SHARIA HELLHOLES. They cannot blame the West for MAKING so many Muslims want to escape Islamic countries.

    That was a stunning rebuke of this disgraceful council by Mr Neuer. The hypocrisy of this body is astounding and good news Trump is withdrawing US support. It exists for one reason alone, to attack Israel.

    Answer the questions. Where are your Jews, fucking Arabs? Where are Hindus and Christians, Pakistan and Bangladesh? What happened to the Sikh and Kashmiri pundits in Kashmir? Go on, answer the question instead of going dumb. Hypocrisy and total ungratefulness two of the many ugly Muslim traits. Enough is enough.

  15. Matthieu Baudin says

    There are about as many Jews in Morocco today as would fill a modest sized secondary school and they are steadily aging so that in twenty years time the numbers may be no more than a small community club.
    For Morocco, the exodus of Jews after the second world war was something akin to an acrimonious divorce, but one that was accomplished fairly smoothly and that enabled the new State of Israel to obtain a lot of new valued citizens. Morocco has recognised Israel since its inception and remains a north African state where Israelis are relatively welcome and safe to visit. It’s not a pretty picture but it’s about as good as it gets in North Africa and the Middle East, which is why Morocco and in particular its King deserve appropriate recognition for resisting the current tide of Militant Jihadism.

      Population exchanges have happened all the time in history. Some cases are post-WW II and India-Pakistan. So why are the settler Arabs in Israel not being exchanged for the Jews expelled from the lands the Arabs invaded, conquered and settled?

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Mar 28, 2017 at 9:17 am

        Good point.

        The Arab Christians could stay – but I would encourage the Israelis to translate into Arabic Rev Dr Mark Durie’s excellent book on Dhimmitude, “The Third Choice” and its companion booklet “Liberty to the Captives” (which is all about the spiritual and psychological liberation of people who have been Dhimmis or, in the past, influenced by the Dhimmitude of their forebears), for these two books would help the Arab Christians to free themselves from the conditioning of generations of dhimmitude that their forebears endured during the period of the Muslim imperium in eretz Israel (7th C – 1914).

        As for the rest, the Arab – or Arabised – Muslims … out they should go, for they represent a perpetually dangerous Fifth Column.

  16. Blangwort says

    Mar 24, 2017 at 10:24 pm

    Indeed, if they’re going to rant about tolerance, they had best show some of their own. Where are their Coptic Christian Churches? Where did their Jewish community go in 1948?

    They’re in Israel. That’s where they are. They arrived almost penniless. Those thieves stole or destroyed their possessions.

    And after they’re rid of all Christians, we’ll see who they go after next.

    I predict a massive famine and economic collapse. They’re utterly incapable of running an economy of any size. Why? Because they keep chasing anyone with a sense of scholarship or business out of their country.

    They deserve whatever happens next.

  17. Dennis says

    Mar 24, 2017 at 11:54 pm

    Maybe the RC Church makes no comment or spends no energy in helping the Coptic Christians because they have their own pope and tradition outside the RC church. Better to let the Muslims destroy the competition?

      Excellent question, Bhartiya. There are few Hindus left there, and those few are oppressed and under constant threat of violence.

    Mar 25, 2017 at 5:06 am

    The Arabs invaded and conquered all of West Asia then erased languages and religions to be replaced with Arabic and Islam. The invaders should just leave and trek back to Arabia. After all, they cal themselves Arabs and their language is Arabic. Simple.

  22. Alex de Valera says

    Mar 25, 2017 at 8:43 am

    Because the Pope is kissing the feet of Muslims and pretending Islam is a religion of peace. The Roman Catholic Church collaborated with the Nazis and didn’t do anything to stop the massacre of Jews. Pious XI did but his successor Pious XII supported Mussolini, Hitler and Franco and the Vatican took care of SS fugitives ex-filtrating them to Argentina and other South-American countries.

  23. Hindu American says

    As a naturalized American citizen of Indian (and Hindu) origin, I am proud of the fact that Jews have lived in India for two thousand years without experiencing anti-Semitism and persecution.

    Jews are a scapegoat for muslims they must have people to hate so they start with Jews then move on to whomever are their neighbors they cannot live peacefully for very long, soon the Mosques preach hatred to three year olds and begin the brainwashing of Islam. Democrats brainwash all students in Democratic lies about heir foul past with blacks, immigrants, abortion, rounding up Chinese, Germans, Italians and now Christians in many colleges. Both groups have the same goal to rule everyone and mistreat everyone they dislike.Look at both histories and tell me I am wrong. Originally Mohammad said “all groups in the Bible were the same and should be treated the same” over time this changed because they need enemies to kill and preach about ion their foul mosques.Without enemies how do they spread their hatred?

  26. Kurt L Hanson says

    Mar 25, 2017 at 1:55 pm

    Refreshing theatrics after all the events of past decades that have occurred which caused the question about the Jews to be made. Six months from now will anything be rectified? Will the jugular of the Beast be cut, to put it to slumber, and to really stop the thoughts inside of the minds of men who behave as they do with the notion, “The Creator wants me to do this.”?

    Six months from now and the world is the same as it is now, more than less. Lots of paychecks and vacation time piling up at the United Nations in New York though, still.

    Yes, where are your Jews, O Arab world, and how is it that the only Arabic-speaking country in which the indigenous Christian community is growing numerically and/or not underground is fifteen-times-accursed Israel?

    I eat a plateful of beans and 放屁 in the face of the UN Commission on Human Rights.

  29. dumbledoresarmy says

    Exactly.

    Bangladesh’s Buddhists, Hindus and Christians are dwindling away, both in absolute numbers and as a percentage of the total population.

    Same deal with Pakistan.

    And Malaysia is going the same way – the intelligent non-Muslims, those who can afford to leave, are *leaving*, they are smart, they see Islam growing more and more aggressive and deadly.
