These are the kinds of speakers who are welcomed and celebrated on university campuses today. Avoid jihad terror, you’ll be smear and defamed, and your event disrupted. Support jihad terror, and you’ll be a hero. When are these malignant clowns, Peled and Tamimi, booked for Stanford University?
“Miko Peled: Zionists do not deserve a platform,” by Alastair Thomas, Jewish Chronicle, November 12, 2017:
“Zionists should be treated like Nazis”, pro-Palestinian speakers told a 150 strong audience at University College London (UCL) on Friday evening.
The heavily condemned talk, Segregated and Unequal: Palestinian Life under Apartheid Israel, was held under heavy security presence and strict ID checks.
Israeli-born Miko Peled, who describes himself as a human rights activist, was speaking alongside Azzam Tamimi, a prominent Hamas supporter. Pointing to his pink BDS badge, he told the audience that he was speaking about “justice, freedom and tolerance.”
Responding to the criticism surrounding the event, he said: “If there is going to be any hate or incitement, it is certainly not going to come from us.”
However, Mr Peled went on to describe Israel as “a racist, apartheid regime, engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide.”
He continued: “The intent of the state of Israel has never been to live with the Palestinians; the intention from the very beginning was to destroy and get rid of them.”
Midway through the evening, two Jewish students left the room, saying: “You’ve got two liars here – a self-hating Jew and a terrorist sympathiser.” They were met with jeers and laughter from the rest of the audience.
In his speech, Mr Tamimi claimed he had been “silenced” for previous comments defending Hamas’s suicide bombings. At a similar event in 2012, he had said: “I’d be a martyr for my country, of course. If you’re not prepared to die for your country, then you are not a patriot.”
He lamented to the audience: “Many universities do not invite me because of the efforts of the pro-Israel lobby.”
During what was an impassioned speech, Mr Tamimi repeatedly accused Zionism of being a “racist ideology”, which determines a chosen land for a select group of people. He said: “Think about it for a minute, you think there is a true god that favours a certain people because of the colour of their skin? It cannot be god; it must be some idol, a man-made deity.”
He paused before quipping: “God is not an estate agent.”
The two speakers were asked about the impact of the Jewish and Israeli lobbies in the United States. Mr Tamimi said “The pro-Israel lobby uses all sorts of dirty tactics.”
Mr Peled added: “For the last two years there has been this witch-hunt against antisemites and Holocaust deniers.”
He went on to compliment Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership and Palestinian support, saying Corbyn “shows clear leadership. You put away this nonsense about Holocaust denial and this nonsense about antisemitism. You focus on what’s important.”
A student from UCL Friends of Israel, probed Mr Peled on a tweet from 2016 where he said: “Jews have a reputation for being sleazy thieves.”
Mr Peled claimed that his comment had been taken out of context, but did not respond to the accusation that he was perpetuating antisemitic tropes, except to denounce Israel’s government for being “sleazy thieves.”
She also asked Mr Tamimi about his previous statements defending suicide-bombing. As the student spoke, the audience members began to shout in outrage, saying “shut your mouth”, while the security staff started converging on her.
Mr Tamimi responded angrily, shouting: “What do you expect [Hamas] to do? Of course, they will rebel, they will fight, they will do something.”
When pressed to clarify, he shouted: “We are not in a court. I do not have to answer you.”
Mr Peled added: “I’m not going to tell [Hamas] how they need to respond. The expectation that Palestinians will not respond with violence is absurd. ‘Is it right or is it wrong?’ is not the question.” This was greeted by loud applause and shouts of ‘preach’ by the audience….
“University College London to Host Hamas Supporter, Activist Who Said Jews Known as ‘Sleazy Thieves,’” Algemeiner, November 1, 2017:
The University College London (UCL) will be hosting an event next week featuring a speaker with ties to the Islamist terrorist group Hamas and another with a history of making antisemitic remarks.
Miko Peled — an Israeli-American activist who was disinvited from speaking at Princeton University in 2016 after publishing a series of controversial tweets, including one saying “Jews have reputation 4being sleazy thieves” — will appear at UCL on Friday, November 10, at an event organized in part by the school’s Friends of Palestine Society.
Peled will be joined by Azzam Tamimi, a British-Palestinian academic who previously admitted to being associated with Hamas.
“I have a great honor to be close to Hamas,” Tamimi said at Queen Mary’s University in 2012, Haaretz reported. He claimed that “all the leaders of Hamas are my friends,” and added, “I am not ashamed of my association with Hamas. Hamas, in my view, is the true representative of the Palestinian people.”

“He continued: “The intent of the state of Israel has never been to live with the Palestinians; the intention from the very beginning was to destroy and get rid of them.””
Perhaps the greatest example of projection ever?
Amazing. Because as we all know, when the early Jewish settlers bought land from the previous Arab owners they then went about oppressing, robbing and killing all the Arabs that still lived there. Of course, it wasn’t the muslims Bedouin tribes who’d been doing that for decades was it, no…..
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Look at this naked lie from Mr Spencer. It is evil state of Israhell who has been murdering Palestinians. Hamas is a freedom fighter, not murderer.Anyway,According to Evil Talmud when Jews carry out mass killings, there is nothing against them because other races are like cows.Mr Spencer as Jewish slave believes in this rascality contained in his masters’ book of evil.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Tell me again why no muslim arab country will accept other muslim arabs from gaza?
And while you’re at it, could you remind me how many israelis have citizenship in an arab country…because i can’t think of many that will even allow someone with an israeli stamp in their passport in, let alone a real live citizen of the best country in the middle east.
Lastly, could you direct me to a Jewish Israeli organization that has, as it’s declared and open policy, dedicated itself to the violent destruction of an arab country including all of it’s arab inhabitants?
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Leftisruining, Hamas is only fighting to get Evil Zionist state of Israhell comply with UN Resolution No. 181 petitioning the Land and withdrawing from Palestinian portion, not destruction of Jewish portion.
Jayell says
Ridiculous reply. You haven’t even vaguely answered the questions.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Obvious deflection, try again please.
And we both know the jihad won’t stop with land for ‘peace’ deals.
mortimer says
Ibrahim, why do you love genocide when Muslims do it? Are you amoral?
harbidoll says
the land was divided- Israel & Jordan.

Actually, Ibrahim itace muhammed has confirmed that Muslims are to commit genocide of the Jews per their “holy” scriptures.

READING FROM KORAN FOR IBRAHIM :
The Koran in a number of places assigns Israel to the ‘children of Israel’.
Koran 5.20 uses the word ‘assign’: “O my people (Jews), enter the Holy Land which God has assigned unto you…”
Koran 5.32 lets it slip that “We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone slew a person – unless it be in retaliation for murder or for spreading mischief IN THE LAND”
What is ‘the land’ where Jews control the legal system? Obviously, ‘the land’ is Israel assigned to Jews by Koran 5.20.
Moreover, Koran 17.104 announces the return of Jews to Israel during the end times: “And thereafter We [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: ‘Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd.”
Comments of Shaykh Professor Abdul Hadi Palazzi on Jewish heritage of Israel
THE LAND OF ISRAEL IN QUR’ANIC EXEGESIS
The fundamentalist Muslim program to use Islam as an instrument for political warfare against Jews finds a major obstacle in the Qur’an itself. Both the Bible and the Qur’an state quite clearly that the right of the Israelites to the Land of Israel does not depend on conquest and colonization. This right flows from the will of almighty God Himself.
Both the Jewish and Islamic Scriptures teach that God, through His chosen servant Moses, decided to free the offspring of Jacob from slavery in Egypt and to constitute them as heirs of the Promised Land. Whoever claims that Jewish sovereignty over the Land of Israel is something new and rooted in human politics denies divine revelation and divine prophecy as explicitly expressed in our Holy Books (the Bible and Koran).
The Qur’an relates the words by which Moses ordered the Israelites to conquer the Land:
“And [remember] when Moses said to his people: ‘O my people, call in remembrance the favour of God unto you, when he produced prophets among you, made you kings, and gave to you what He had not given to any other among the peoples. O my people, enter the Holy Land which God has assigned unto you, and turn not back ignominiously, for then will ye be overthrown, to your own ruin.'” [Qur’an 5:20-21]
Moreover – and those who try to use Islam as a weapon against Israel always conveniently ignore this point – the Holy Qur’an explicitly refers to the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel before the Last Judgment – where it says: “And thereafter We [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: ‘Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd.'” [Qur’an 17:104]
Therefore, from an Islamic point of view, there is NO fundamental reason which prohibits Muslims from recognizing Israel as a friendly State.
mortimer says
Ibrahim, read and weep:
Sheikh Ahmed Aladoan of Amman, a member of Jordan’s well-known Adwan tribe, posted to Facebook this week that there is no such place as “Palestine,” and provided references from the Koran to back up his assertion.
One of the Koranic verses provided states that Allah gave the Holy Land to the sons of Israel until the Day of Judgment (Surah Al-Ma’ida, verse 21), and the other (Surah Al-Shara’a, verse 59) says that the land was bequeathed to the Jews.
The sheikh turned to those who “distort the words of the Koran,” whom he labeled as liars, and questioned where they had even come up with the name “Palestine.” He insisted their claims to the Land of Israel were forfeit because “Allah is the protector of the Children of Israel.”
And if that wasn’t enough, the sheikh went on to turn the tables on the anti-Israel propaganda machine by accusing the Palestinians of killing children, the elderly and women, of using human shields, and of having not an ounce of mercy for even their own children.
The Arabic daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi further explained the sheikh’s position, noting that he supports the notion that Jordan is Palestine, and insists that Arabs living both in Jordan and the Palestinian Authority-controlled territories would almost all love to be Israeli citizens.
Sheikh Aladoan visited Israel and spent time with the chief rabbi of Tsfat (Safed), Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu. The sheikh informed Rabbi Eliyahu and his students that in the Koran, “there is no name ‘Palestine’ for this land, and therefore, the Arabs should not be fighting the Jews over control of this land.”
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Mortimer, you have misconceived the Quranic verses. The verses never stated that God gave exclusive ownership of the land to Israelites.They stated that God commanded them to go and settle there. God did not tell them to expell other human beings they met as evil mithraist Bible says in Samuel 15:3.Get correct information, please.
Mirit says
Mass killing is Islamic religion terminology. Not Jewish.
martin says
Ibrahim itace muhammed says _ Google muhamads sexual perversions to about evil filth of muhamad and his muslims from islams own books.
commonsense says
Tamimi asks if there is a true god that favors certain people because of the color of their skin, and answers his own question by declaring that such a deity is a false one. He is implying, of course, that Jews are all white people. Is he aware that there are thousands of black Ethiopian Jews? And Tamimi seems clueless about the fact that Islam is a blatant vehicle for Arab supremacism. There is at least one hadith which clearly demonstrates how Muhammed viewed Arabs as superior to non-Arabs. He averred “I am Arab, and the Quran is in Arabic and the talk of those in Paradise is in Arabic” (al-Awsat, al-Haakim, and elsewhere). This is further underscored by Allah’s choice of an Arab, Muhammed, to be the Final and Greatest of the Prophets, enshrining the superiority of the Arabs as a people. Added to this is Islam’s insistence that Allah only listens to prayers when they are uttered in Arabic.
Tamimi then repeatedly accuses Zionism of being a “racist ideology”, which determines a chosen land for a select group of people. He declares, “God is not an estate agent.” What grotesque hypocrisy. Not only does he ignore the centrality of jihad in Islam – the expansion of the Muslim domain until it occupies the entire globe – but he surely knows that in Islamic law all territories once held by Muslims, even if retaken by their original non-Muslim inhabitants, are considered to be part of dar al-Islam in perpetuity. In Islam, Allah most certainly is a de facto estate agent. And yet Robert Spencer and others like him are viewed as hatemongers.
Jayell says
Looks like the brain-rot in academia is pretty universal now. But then we have known for some time about the level of infection in the UK.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
commonsense, you lied. Can you please cite a Hadith where Prophet Muhammad said Arabs are superior to other races?There is a Hadith which explicitly stated that Arabs are not superior to non-Arabs and whites are not superior to blacks. it is Evil Talmud which stated that Jews are superior to other races.
mortimer says
Al-Tabari– “Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah’s helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in Allah’s Cause. Killing him is a small matter to us.”
Ibn Timiyya–“If the child is not of the race of Arabs, then he is definitely an owned slave according to the scholars, but the scholars disputed (his status) among themselves if he was from the Arabs – whether he must be enslaved or not because when A’isha (Muhammad’s wife) had a maid-slave who was an Arab, Muhammad said to A’isha, `Set this maid free because she is from the children of Ishmael.'”
Ibn Sa’d– “Verily the Prophet said: God divided the earth in two halves and placed (me) in the better of the two, then He divided the half in three parts, and I was in the best of them, then He chose the Arabs from among the people, then He chose the Quraysh from among the Arabs, then He chose the children of ‘Abd al-Muttalib from among the Banu Hashim, then he chose me from among the children of ‘Abd al-Muttalib, and from them he chose me.”
mortimer says
Ibrahim, you need to learn more about Islam. Arab racism is NORMATIVE ISLAM, rather than an aberration. The false hadith you are thinking of actually comes from India and has no provenance. It was made up for a sermon attacking racism. Racism is 100% Islamic. ARAB RACISM IS ISLAMIC.
martin says
lol, the only reason ibrahim has to lie all the time is because he knows what is in their books (and chooses to worship evil)..
gravenimage says
Good posts, Mortimer.
But I don’t think that Ibrahim itace muhammed is ignorant of Islam–he just hopes that we are.
Yochanan says
On the subject of who is superior to who, please take a long look at Sura 3:55: “Allah said: “O Jesus! I will recall you and raise you up to Me and will purify you of the company of those who disbelieve, AND WILL MAKE YOUR FOLLOWERS SUPERIOR TO THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE UNTIL THE DAY OF RESURRECTION”. The followers of Jesus are clearly those who do what he instructs, things very unpopular among the followers of Allah and Mohammed, such as “Love your enemy”, “pray for those who persecute you”, and so on, as recorded in the New Testament (and not in the Quran).
gravenimage says
Yochanan, the “Muslim Jesus”–really, “Isa”–is *very different* from the Jesus of the Gospels.
Muslims believe that the Bible was “corrupted” by Christians, and that “Jesus” was just as savage as is Muhammed.
They don’t believe in “love your enemy” or “pray for those who persecute you”, or the Golden Rule.
Yochanan says
Gravenimage take a closer look at the Jesus passages in the Quran and you will find an extraordinary thing: that Jesus is exalted far above Mohammed:
He is the Word of God (3:45)
He was given the Holy Spirit (2:87; 2:253; 5,110),
God spoke to him personally and took him up to heaven (eg: 3,55),
He made miracles (2:253; also 19:33)
and Jesus is also said to be “worthy of regard in this world, in the hereafter and from those who are made close to God” (3:45).
Nowhere in the Quran are these things said about Mohammed. According to the Quran’s own teaching about the degrees, or ranks, of prophethood (17:55), Jesus is way above Mohammed.
In answer to the objection that the Christian writings have been falsified, the best answer in our experience is to demand exact passages in which the New Testament has been falsified…. and they don’t have a clue!
mortimer says
PM Theresa May gives her UNSPOKEN SUPPORT to the JIHAD TERRORISTS of the Hamas terror organization.
UK deserves a better PM. On the other side, Corbyn openly supports ARAB TERRORISTS.
Is UK a LOONY BIN?
Paul Moore says
Let’s face it, look at the taqiyya puked out by George Bush and Barack Obama. We’re all living in loony bins.
Max Publius says
And so why does this Islamic supremacist live in the UK, where he is not welcome by the majority of native Brits? He should be expelled and his paper citizenship revoked for support of terrorism. Jews were in Israel way before Arabs and Muslims, but even more to the point, Islamic ideology is a net negative wherever it is implemented, and Judaic ideology is a net positive. I’m neither for your information. Net, for the clueless, means most of the time. Facts are stubborn things.
DRHazard says
The modern university student is a high strung animal that requires considerable amounts of stroking without which they become irritable and insecure. They are terrified of strangers and will do anything possible to keep them from invading their territory. As individuals they are cowardly and stupid but in groups they are a little less cowardly and allot more stupid. Apart from their secondary sexual characteristics there is no discernible difference between males and females of the species.Their vocalizations consist mostly of barking (when in groups) and whining (when alone). They tend to be happier with an owner who not only understands their extremely sensitive nature but also indulges it. The prospective owner or temporary caretakers of these creatures should be warned that they are incapable of performing any meaningful task and often will trash the neighborhood if they are allowed out to join a pack. While they seem to have no rigid hierarchy they will readily expel a member of the pack who deviates even slightly from the long list of behavior patterns that holds them together. They are relatively inexpensive but that benefit is offset by their exceedingly high maintenance price tag. These costs, however, are often covered in part or full by everyone who pays taxes whether or not they own or even like the animal. They are generally unhappy and only seem to perk up when the pack successfully repels an outsider or rejects a deviant pack member.
