What IS the Difference Between Eretz Israel and the Caliphate?
RT | Israel has condemned a “shameful” event hosted by the British
House of Lords in which Jews were blamed for the Holocaust and Israel
was compared to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).
The session marked the
launch of the Balfour Apology Campaign ahead of the Balfour Declaration
centenary. The 1917 declaration pledged British support for a Jewish
homeland in Palestine.
A spokesperson for the Israeli embassy said the gathering “gave voice to racist tropes against Jews and Israelis alike.”
According to the Times, an audience member was applauded after
suggesting Hitler only decided to kill Jews after being provoked by
anti-German protests led by a rabbi, Stephen Wise, in New York.
“[He]
made the boycott on Germany, the economic boycott… which antagonized
Hitler, over the edge, to then want to systematically kill Jews wherever
he could find them.”
The speaker also said Rabbi Wise told the New York Times in 1905 there were “6 million bleeding and suffering reasons to justify Zionism.” This quote is often used by Holocaust deniers to suggest the figure of 6 million Jews later killed by the Nazis was a myth.
The audience member – reportedly a member of the anti-Zionist strictly Orthodox Neturei Karta sect – also compared Israel to IS.
“Just
as the so-called Jewish state in Palestine doesn’t come from Judaism.
This Islamic State in Syria is nothing with Islam. It is a perversion of
Islam just as Zionism is a perversion of Judaism.”
Another audience member said, to applause: “If anybody is anti-Semitic, it’s Israelis themselves.”
