Yoseph Haddad, the well-known Israeli Arab who served in the IDF, and has become an articulate defender of Israel in speeches all over the UK, including a memorable evening at the Oxford Union, recently organized a group of 35 Israeli Arabs — Muslim, Christian, and Druze — to travel to the UK and to speak from their own experience in Israel, defending the state from the canard that it practices “apartheid.” They were determined to protest against this and the calumnies hurled at the Jewish state, the anti-Israel lies that have spread across campuses everywhere in the western world, and with special virulence in the UK.
More on their determination to set the record straight on Israel, to protest not against Israel, but against its calumniators, can be found here: “Israeli influencer speaks up for Gaza hostages on London Underground,” Jewish News Syndicate, April 4, 2025:
Israeli influencer Yoseph Haddad, who is leading a delegation of fellow Israeli Arabs—Muslims, Christians, and Druze—to the U.K. in an effort to confront increasing delegitimization of Israel, took to the London Underground in a video released on Thursday morning to provide passengers with an alternative view of the Jewish state.
Wearing a black jacket with the words “London 2025” printed on the back in Hebrew, Arabic, and English, Haddad, wearing a long yellow ribbon—the symbol of the campaign to free the captives held in Gaza—around his left wrist, began addressing commuters.
Haddad, surrounded by his fellow delegation members, started by asking for people’s attention.
“Usually, you hear anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian messages on the Underground,” he said. “They tell you that Israel is an apartheid state and that it is committing genocide.
“We’re Arabs from Israel, and we’re here to tell you that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Hamas murdered and raped Jews and Arabs from Israel. Don’t believe the terrorist sympathizers, and don’t believe Hamas supporters.
“For anyone who tells you that Israel is an apartheid state, we Arabs are here to tell you that they lie. Support our hostages who have been in captivity for 544 days in Gaza. We still have 59 hostages there.”
And he might have added that Arabs serve on the Supreme Court, sit in the Knesset, are treated in the same hospitals by the same medical personnel as Israeli Jews, work in the same offices and factories, play on the same sports teams and in the same orchestras, start businesses together, from restaurants to high-tech start-ups, and then he could have noted in an epistrophe after each observation, “What kind of an apartheid state is that?”
At the end of his remarks, Haddad, an IDF veteran who was seriously wounded during the Second Lebanon War, cupped his hands to his mouth and began a chant of “Let them go!” referring to the Israeli citizens—alive and dead—who remain in Hamas tunnels….
Yoseph Haddad is an Arab Israeli, a Christian, and an IDF veteran who served in the Golani Brigade and was wounded in the Second Lebanon War. He has become one of the most articulate supporters of his country at home and abroad, where he makes the case for Israel to different constituencies, in Hebrew, Arabic, and English.
Yoseph Haddad is quite an Arab. And quite an Israeli. I thought you’d want to know.
God bless this noble man and his friends.
This is good.
I would feel better about it if he were wearing the standard white Arab trad neckwear of the area, but his generation has been steeped in the Bob Dylan “Blonde on Blonde” neckwear which was ripped off by Yassir Arafat. …so rock and roll, I guess.
1. The Palestinians with Israeli citizenship are 2.1 million,20% of the population. And Hamas is a terrorist group but there is also what is called STATE terrorism.
Done by the Israeli government in the West Bank,on the 3 million Palestinians there.
2. Why do I say that?
Terrorism is taking 200 civilians hostage, by Hamas. The 50 SOLDIERS also taken are NOT hostages, they are prisoners of war and legitimate targets in war. Taking 50 soldiers is not terrorism.
Because the 3 million there are under MILITARY rule: and like 10,000 are in jail just picked up.In jail and just jailed with NO evidence, NO accusation, NO reason given,NO trial, for 6months,
then it is RENEWED,again with NO evidence, NO accusation, NO reason given,NO trial.
Only a small minority have had a trial.
Those 10,000 civilians taken that way are also HOSTAGES. In the US there are 1 million PRISONERS, there had been a TRIAl with evidence given, so no STATE terrorism by the US government,state and federal there.
Lately there was a 1 hr serious debate between SCOTT RITTER and ALAN DERSHOWITZ,no shouting,soon the full debate will be available.On the Gaza war,Israel.
”ISRAEL, PALESTINE & THE FUTURE OF PEACE—REALITY OR DELUSION? Scott Ritter vs. Alan Dershowitz”
Soldiers rescuing hostages are not mere POWs.
Hostage takers are not human beings, they have no human rights, and civilization depends on eliminating them.
It is them or us.
It must be us…..or nothing but cannibalism.
Palestinians are maggots in a cheese.
In the debate with Dershowitz Scott Ritter said it was not a case of black and white. But until recently,I affirm, it was”He said,she said”, like in the 1991 film.
The Ritter-Dershowitz debate,with each side being sober and unemotional is a landmark. Dershowitz has written several books in defense of Israel, you can’t say the same for Ben Shapiro or Dennis Prager.Dershowitz wrote
”Terror Tunnels: The Case for Israel’s Just War Against Hamas”(2014)
and ”The Case for Peace: How the Arab-Israeli Conflict Can Be Resolved”(2005)
and ”The Case for Israel”(2003) and ”The Case For Moral Clarity: Israel, Hamas and Gaza”(2009) and his most recent ones:
”War Against the Jews: How to End Hamas Barbarism”(2023) and
”The Ten Big Anti-Israel Lies: And How to Refute Them with Truth”(2024)
There is COMPARATIVE analysis and there is this case study,that of the WARSAW GHETTO during WW II:
1.The Nazis forced 500,000 into a small Warsaw section and let in LIMITED amount of food. There was always food ENTERING,limited,
until the 1 month revolt at the end,with 50,000 Jews left.
And 350,000 had already been sent to the extermination camps.
2.As a result: 100,000 died of starvation BEFORE the revolt.
3.The remaining 400,000 suffered from MALNUTRITION:
an imbalance between the nutrients your body NEEDS to function and the nutrients it GETS. A DEFICIENCY of
protein,
vitamins and minerals. The result:your health breaks down.
In the case of Gaza, for the most part it has been a case of ”he said,she said”,one side affirming there is malnutrition of the 2 million Palestinians,another side saying no.
The most effective defenders of Israel have been Douglas Murray, Konstantin Kisin and Mosab Hassan Youssef.
Kisin is a Russian who lives in the UK and whose youtube channel Triggernometry is popular among Conservatives and Kisin has written ”An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West ” (2022). He always defends Zelensky the puppet of the Ukrainian neo-nazis.
Strange since Kisin’s paternal grandfather was Jewish.
Mosab Hassan Youssef worked for Israel as a spy for 10 years and his father was one of the 7 founders of HAMAS.
Murray’s most recent book is all about Gaza and Israel:
”On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel, Hamas and the Future of the West (2025).
1. They all three say the Gaza war is one of civilization vs barbarism, defense of human rights and Western values.
2. They all say the ICJ (International Court of Justice ) and ICC (International Criminal Court) are wrong and corrupt.The ICJ is carrying out an investigation of Israel for ”plausible genocide” while the
ICC has condemned Netanyahu as a war criminal.
A situation of ”he said,she said”.
2. In the Ritter-Dershowitz debate Dershowitz said the ONLY Nazis today are those in the university campuses. He is a lawyer, I can’t believe he doesn’t know about the neo-Nazi Banderistas who rule Ukraine,
and have erected statues and plaques in honor of
several Ukrainian SS soldiers who participated in killing thousands of Jews during WW II,and in honor of
Roman Shukhevych (1907-1950)
general of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army ,created in 1942, and which killed tens of thousands of Jews in Ukraine.
Murray and Kisin both continue to defend the Ukrainian government.
3. In the extermination camps the Nazis chose Jewish PSYCOPATHS as the supervisors of the other Jews.
The were WILLING collaborators of the Nazis.
They were called KAPOS and were well-fed,well-clothed, no suffering Some Holocaust survivors claimed kapos were “worse than the Germans.” By some accounts, kapos were uniquely vicious overseers.
Zelensky has received millions and millions or even TENS of millions of dollars for his part, he does the role of Jewish kapo for the money.
Now we have the term WOKE RIGHT.
1. A few pro-Israel youtubers are saying CONSERVATIVE influencers who are critical of Israel are the ”Woke Right”.
CANDACE OWENS and TUCKER CARLSON who have youtube channels and whose videos are watched each time by 500,000 to 1 million
but who are critical of Israel are called by them ”Woke Right”.
2. Tucker Carlson even interviewed DAVE SMITH, Jewish youtuber and Libertarian,who condemns Hamas as a terrorist organization,
so you can’t call him a pro-Hamas propagandist,
but who is critical of Israel.
3. KONSTATNTIN KISIN ,who I used to think was a serious intellectual has called Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Dave Smith ”Woke Right”.
And DOUGLAS MURRAY in a Joe Rogan interview spoke about the dangers of the ”Woke Right”.
4. What is meant by this? They mean Conservatives
who condemn Hamas,so you can’t call pro-Hamas but who don’t close their eyes to the dark aspects of Israeli society.
So calling them pro-Hamas,pro-terrorist won’t work.
Only thing to do is call them woke.
My error,the full debate is now aailable,it is the one given above.
All commentary awaiting discombobulation.
