Now let’s get into it!

0:17

Palestinians have been betrayed by the United Nations, Western governments, Arab regimes,

0:22

and now the International Court of Justice, which failed in its duty to order an immediate

0:27

ceasefire in Gaza last Friday.

0:30

But there’s one thing that will never fail the Palestinian resistance – and that’s

0:34

the religion of Islam.

0:36

Now - stay with me here, because things are about to get wild.

0:39

You see, to understand an oppressor’s weakness, you first need to identify and understand

0:45

his greatest fear – and for Israel – a white settler colonial state located in the

0:50

heart of the Muslim world – its greatest fear is demographics.

0:54

In other words, Israel fears Muslims or Arabs will change the country’s demographics in

0:59

a way that it can no longer plausibly claim to be a Jewish state, which is why Israel

1:04

so brazenly violates international law by refusing 6 million Palestinian refugees their

1:10

lawfully protected right to return to their homes and land in occupied Palestine.

1:15

So, now you know this, I want to bring your attention to just two words that stood out

1:19

for me in this November 18 article, an article that gained a lot of attention because it

1:24

explains why so many left-leaning Western women have converted to Islam since Israel’s

1:29

genocide in Gaza begun nearly 4 months ago.

1:32

But the two words that were largely overlooked by many commentators were the words “Jewish

1:37

Revert,” which became one of the most popular hashtags on TikTok, one that has now attracted

1:43

hundreds of thousands of posts.

1:45

For me - this is the most remarkable and uplifting story of this conflict, but it’s one that

1:50

has gone almost totally unreported, until now.

1:53

You see, the conversion of Israeli Jews to Islam is the sum total of Israel’s worst

1:58

nightmare – because converts not only threaten demographic change, but also become outspoken

2:04

critics of Israel’s genocidal strategies in occupied Palestine, and critics of the

2:09

way in which the Zionist state has corrupted Judaism.

2:33

His testimony is echoed by Jewish journalist Mahdi Majeed, who converted to Islam and slammed

2:39

Israel, despite having held close friendships with high-ranking Israeli officials.

2:43

He said, “I was not a Muslim, but now I believe in Islam thanks to God who guided

2:49

me to find the truth after much research.”

2:52

Jewish converts to Islam, like him, are now causing Israel real headaches.

2:58

So much so that a Jewish supremacist organization called Lehava – was established to lure

3:02

Muslim reverts back to Judaism.

3:05

This group has been charged with terrorism, murder, and assassination.

3:08

It’s leader is Bentzi Gophstein:

3:21

When you consider what’s happening in Gaza today, it’s with great irony that Lehava

3:25

came to prominence in 2014, the year Israel carried out a 53-day invasion and bombardment

3:32

of the Palestinian territory, a bloody siege that claimed the lives of more than 2,500

3:37

Palestinians and left much of the territory in total ruins.

3:40

It was in the midst of this violence that a Jewish woman married a Palestinian Muslim

3:45

man, sparking nationwide outrage in the state of Israel

4:22

The co-founder of Lehava says that while the group doesn’t know the exact number of conversions

4:30

taking place in Israel, she says that the number is on the steady rise, and therefore

4:34

causing great concern among Israeli leaders.

4:37

Her fears were compounded by testimony from popular Islamic scholar Yasir Qadhi, who says

4:43

the number of Jewish converts to Islam is growing under the radar in Israel, because

4:47

new converts fear being targeted

5:02

by Lehava.

5:23

This

5:34

is why Lehava is now carrying out violent foot patrols to threaten and intimidate Jews

5:47

who have entered relationships with Palestinians.

5:56

Islam’s growing popularity among Jewish Israelis also explains why Israel has carried

6:06

out multiple violent raids on Islam’s third holiest site during the past year.

6:11

These raids are meant not only to intimidate Palestinian worshipers, but also to send a

6:16

message to potential Muslim converts that they will face the full fury of the Jewish

6:20

state if they renounce Judaism and/or Zionism.

6:24

The destruction of 80% of Gaza’s mosques is also meant to send a similar warning.

6:29

But it’s here that Israel is fighting a losing battle – because even most ardent

6:33

Zionists are discovering how Zionism contradicts the teachings of Judaism, and how Islam brings

6:38

its followers closer

7:08

to God.

7:12

Her changing attitudes towards Zionism and Israel are echoed by orthodox Jewish rabbis.

7:31

An academic research paper says more and more Jews are converting to Islam for a variety

7:50

of reasons, and while the study focused on Yemeni Jews living in Israel, it found that

7:54

they perceive a weakening of Jewish institutions, and the growing strength of Islam around the

8:00

world.

8:01

As for Israeli Jews of European descent, many are now discovering the lies they’ve been

8:05

fed about Islam and the Palestinians via the genocide

8:27

in Gaza.

8:37

If this doesn’t give you reason to be hopeful and optimistic about the future of Palestine,

8:42

then I’m not sure what will – because there’s no denying that the world is experiencing

8:46

a transformational moment, one that’s partly inspired by the shining light of Islam, a

8:51

light now seen by Jews who previously saw only darkness due to the pervasiveness of

8:56

Zionist lies and propaganda.

8:57

The world is changing.

8:59

You can feel it, and this program will continue to fight until every Palestinian is free.

9:04
