It is depressing that a culture that produced such great scholars as Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd and is now reduced to passing off ignorance and hate as scholarship.
Exhibit A is the Zayed Center for Coordination and Follow-Up, funded by the Arab League. Here is their summary of their keynote speech in a conference responding to charges of Arab Anti-Semitism.
In his opening speech Mr. Mohammed Khalifa Al Murar, the Executive Director of the Zayed Centre for Coordination and Follow-up repudiated Israelis claim of being the real Semites. “Paradoxically, they accuse Arabs who are Semites themselves, of anti-Semitism. After having usurped the land of Palestine, they claim to be the sons of soil.
They have exploited all possible tactics and their military and political clout to change world opinion in their favor. They know the hollowness of their claims. They know it very well that the descendants of Japheth have nothing to do with Semitism or Palestine. Yet, they churn out lies after lies till they make people believe that they are Semites and are being persecuted by others. They resort to this in order to cover their heinous crimes perpetrated against the Palestinian people.
Any discourse about Jew’s history will remain incomplete if it doesn’t shed light on that aspect of Jews that they always try to hide i.e. their non-Semite origin.
The Khizr Kingdom of the 9th century AD is a historical proof of their mendacity. The subjects of this kingdom who were descendants of Japheth Son of Prophet Noah embraced Judaism in the 9th century A.D. when the invading Mongols destroyed their kingdom, they were forced to flee across the Carpathian Mountains and subsequently settled in Eastern Europe and in particular Poland. Later they migrated to Palestine after claiming that it was their promised land.” Said Mr. Mohammed Khalifa Al Murar.
Expressing their true face, Mr. Al Murrar said, “Jews claim to be God’s most preferred people but the truth is they are the enemies of all nations. Most philosophers like Zimmer, consider Jews as cheaters whose greed knows no bounds. Today, after having controlled print and electronic media, they distort facts to suit their objectives”, added Mr. Al Murar.
That's right - according to the leading thinkers in the Arab world, Ashkenazi Jews are all decended from the Khazars. Rashi, the Crusades, the Germanic roots of Yiddish, apparently are all myths. Curiously, no effort is made to pinpoint the origins of the Jews of the Islamic world - and how they got to Spain, North Africa and Iraq before the Arabs ever arrived. Having completely rewritten the past 3000 years of history, it is no wonder that the seminar placed Holocaust revisionism as its centerpiece.
The Arab League Secretariat has affirmed its participation in the symposium on “Semitism” to be organized by ZCCF Wednesday, August 28, 2002.
The ZCCF is holding this symposium to counter the historical and political fallacies propagated by Israel that has used a variety of means during the past few decades and in particular after world War II. Israel has indulged in spreading lies and exaggerations about holocaust in order to squeeze out huge sums of money from European countries through worst forms of blackmail and to create false legends in support of the concept of Semitism and establishing a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.
Dr. Ahmad Saleem Jarad, will represent the Arab League Secretary General in the symposium. Besides, a number of eminent researchers, analysts and experts in Israeli propaganda methods will also take part in the deliberations
Yet somehow, Israel is expected to take the Arab League's "peace proposal" seriously. The question that all of those demanding Israeli concessions and overtures have yet to answer is - what evidence do you have that the Arabs are serious about peace with Israel? The projection of the American and Israeli's left own good intentions and rational calculus on to the Arabs doesn't count.
