(36,003 posts)And what's Israel's Jihad supposed to be? She doesn't elaborate, though I guess it's hard to find space to do it in all that stuff about how Muslims hate Israel. Maybe if she'd devoted even one sentence to being critical of Israeli policy towards the Palestinian people, I'd not be suspecting she's just the latest in the longest line of 'Muslims who don't like Muslims who don't love Israel' that get trotted out in the US (think folk like Wafa Sultan) that are tailor-made to appeal to the likings of the Islamophobic segment of US supporters of Israel.
I've read stuff from Muslims that not only supports Israel, but strongly supports the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. I hope I'm wrong and the author of this article has indeed voiced strong support for the Palestinians, as I expect if that emerges much of her cheer-squad at DU will turn swiftly from praise to ire...
