The international attention has given great media attention to the leftist and Jewish anti-Israel sentiment by Jews against Israel. This has proven to be a small minority position, but popular on the international press. At the same time there are educated and literate Muslims who stand on the side of Israel and are“pro-Israel”.
One of the most prominent and bravest of these Muslim scholars is Professor Sheikh Adbul Hadi Palazzi, the leader of the Italian Muslim community. During a recent visit to Jerusalem he declared that the Jewish people have every right to the entire Land of Israel. Not only that, he also declared that the Palestinian people do not have any right to live in the Land of Israel for, as a people, “they do not even exist”
During his Jerusalem visit, Palazzi was interviewed by a Jewish activist, Aryeh King, the director and founder of the Israel Land Fund organization. The place of the interview of the Italian Islamic professor and the Jewish activist at the Intercontinental Seven Arches Hotel in East Jerusalem was also significant, for it was the same hotel where the Palestinian terrorist PLO was founded. It was there at this same hotel where the first Palestinian declaration was made that “The Palestinians would not rest until every Jew had been driven in the Mediterranean Sea.”
Arvey King - “If people would understand this, they would know that it’s not at all about the “Green Line” (pre-1967 border) or about Hebron, Jericho or East Jerusalem. The struggle is about all of Israel, including Tel Aviv, Haifa and Ashdod. Unfortunately, there are many leaders, including Israeli, who do not understand this. Fortunately, there are also leaders such as Abdul Hadi Palazzi, who do understand this, and recognize the importance of Jerusalem (for the Jews) as the fact that here, at the site of the Dome of the Rock Mosque, the Temple of Solomon once stood.”
The Italian Muslim Community today is organized under the leadership of the Islamic Sheikh Palazzi. He stands unique in the Muslim community as promoting a positive attitude by Muslims towards the Jews in Israel. He not only promotes this position but historically promotes it on authentic Islamic sources.
According to Sheikh Palazzi, Israel should just continue to build Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria (West of the river Jordan, also called “West Bank”), particularly while there are no negotiations with the Palestinians taking place. According to Palazzi, the Islamic professor, “The Government of Israel must be brave.”
Sheikh Adbul Hadi Palazzi - “They should say to be ready for negotiations, but as long as the Palestinians reject recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, these negotiations are pointless.”
Until now, the Palestinian Authority have thought that time works to their advantage. They receive a lot, but in the meanwhile do nothing at all. Their leaders will be paid by the international community anyway, but that money is only used to strengthen their own position. But only when they understand that as long as they do not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, time will not work in their advantage because there are no negotiations taking place, a change may occur.”
Sheikh Palazzi early came out strongly against the building freeze in Jewish settlements in the Shomron and Judea regions of Israel. This freeze came as a unilateral action by the Netanyahu government and like the expulsion of the Jewish people from Gaza in 2005 by the Sharon government, the reciprocity as been only increasing violence. As the Sheikh admits:
Sheikh Adbul Hadi Palazzi - “As long as there are no negotiations this is seen as a sign of weakness. Yes, the European Union and President Obama will protest if the building activities continue, but what can they do against it? Nothing! Therefore, the Israeli people should just grow in all areas, so as to show that negotiations are not intended to paralyze one party.”
The Jews have the right to all of Israel as their own country. The completely wrong starting point of the (previous) negotiations was the avowed support for the Palestinian claim (to their own state). During the British Mandate, the area was divided into two countries: Jordan and Israel, with the river Jordan as a border.
The world must accept that Israel won the Six Day War (1967) and conquered the region up to the Jordan [that had been illegally conquered and occupied by Jordan up until then]. The Jordanians who lived there should be able to remain, provided they accept their status as foreign residents on Israeli territory, as is usual in any other country. The claim that they now want to establish a state on Israeli territory should therefore not be accepted.”
Palazzi adds that the Palestinians as a national people have never existed. They, like the Bedouin settlers who moved from region to region attached no claim to the land and therefore have no rights at all to any part of Israel whatsoever.
Sheikh Adbul Hadi Palazzi - “The PLO did not represent a state and have had no political authority. Most leaders of the PLO were from the elsewhere in the region, Arafat for example was an Egyptian, Faizal Husseini (Arafat’s chief assistant) was from Iraq.
The biggest mistake, therefore, has been that these people were recognized as representatives of the local Arab population. Moreover, the Arabs who lived there initially refused to accept them as their leaders, but continued to view themselves more as Jordanians — and thus not Palestinians.”
However, “During ‘Oslo’ [the peace agreement in 1993] this was entirely changed; all Arab countries were afraid to speak out against the PLO. That is why the situation after ‘Oslo’ only got worse, both for Israel and the Arab population.”
According to Palazzi, the sentiments of a greater percentage of the Muslim people silently agree with his geo-political position. For this reason, they remain silent in fear in part by the repeated threats of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to destroy Israel. This fact was noted by a recent Islamic demonstration at the Iranian embassy in Rome, which was called for by Palazzi’s organization, where another Muslim organization also joined them.
Sheikh Adbul Hadi Palazzi - “There are many Muslim leaders in Rome who have fled the extremist situation in their home countries. Therefore they consider the threat they faced in those countries as the same as threat that Israel is now undergoing.”
