Oslo, January 8th 2009. Picture from MIFF.
The chant of ‘khaybar’ is well known to us – the picture above is from a riot in Oslo on January 8th, 2009. According to Eirik Eiglad, author of “The anti-Jewish riots in Oslo”, the same sign was also seen during riots outside the Israel embassy two days later. From the Jerusalem Post:
‘Activists chant slogans that threaten Jews’
According to a Foreign Ministry press release, participants on the flotilla were recorded shouting “Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, Jaish Muhammad saya’ud,” which means “Jews, remember Khyabar, the army of Mohammed is returning.” This cry relates to an event inthe seventh century when Muslims massacred and expelled Jews from the town of Khaybar, in modern-day Saudi Arabia.
“Israel condemns the anti-Semitic chants that were publicized this morning,” Ayalon said. “This amply demonstrates that many are not against a particular policy of the Israeli government, but have very real and dangerous hatred for Jews and the Jewish State.”
He further noted that “the main organizer of the flotilla is an extremist Islamic organization with ties to Hamas and global Jihad and it is unfortunate that there are those who are duped into thinking that this exercise has anything to do with humanitarianism or human rights.”
It is a main difference between anti-semetism, and anti-israelism…
I have nothing agains jews. BUT the Israel Governement is on a slaughter to kill/supress palestinians. They daily take the lives of innocent and un-armed civilians. Even children.
Benjamin Netanyahu and the military forces of israel WILL be hold responsible, and the evidence material, from your precision missiles in palestinian settlements, to foto-material, are overwhelming, and when the time is right- haag is waiting eagerly.
Good luck with your propaganda.
Dear Norwegian
Thank you for contributing. Yet I must insist that you elaborate: what do you mean by propaganda? And would you not say there are propagandizers in the Palestine-Lobby as well?
Best regards
