Moslem cabinet minister rejects Hatikva

Meir Kahane made the point over and over again that no matter how "enlightened" or "progressive" many moslems in Israel might seem to be, one thing is certain: a moslem will never truly be able to accept being a citizen of a Jewish State because he himself is NOT Jewish and his people were defeated so that it could be Jewish. It would be absolutely insane to expect that arabs would swallow their national honor and dignity to pledge allegiance to a Jewish flag, or stand with pride and sing Hatikva as his national anthem, when at his core he wants it to be an ARAB STATE instead of a JEWISH STATE.

Well, once again we see how right he was...

(IsraelNN.com) Israel's first Muslim Arab Minster of Science, Culture and Sports, Raleb Majadle, refuses to sing Israel's national anthem, HaTikvah.

Majadle, a long-time member of the Labor party defended his decision, saying he does not believe that “enlightened and sane Jews” would request a Muslim to sing a song which speaks to the Jewish people. “The Arabs are not in a mood to sing right now,” the Arab minister in Israel's government commented.

The new minister said in an interview with the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, “To the best of my knowledge, the law does not require me to sing the anthem, but to honor it."

He said he expresses his respect by standing up when the anthem is sung. "Of course I would not sing the anthem in its current form."

While liberal, self-loathing Jews like Ehud Olmert have no problem appointing moslems to the cabinet who reject Israel's national anthem for being "too Jewish", others members in knesset are not so happy about it.

Jerusalem Post - MK Zvi Hendel (NU/NRP) on Sunday called for all Arab MKs to be evicted from the Knesset, following comments over the weekend by Science, Culture and Sport Minister Ghaleb Majadle - Israel's first Arab minister - that he would not sing "Hatikva" because it was the Israeli national anthem.

"How many more times will we take the Arab MKs spitting in our faces and insist on pretending that it's raining?" Hendel demanded. "The Arab MKs, who continue again and again to fearlessly incite against the Jewish people, its symbols and its holy places, and cooperate with the most bitter and hateful enemy must get out of the Knesset..."

The only logical, rational resolution to this is that the moslems all must go. Think about it, if the MOST educated, enlightened and tolerant moslems of them all, the ones who actually serve in Knesset - and even hold cabinet positions! - will not sing Hatikva, than we know that there is not a single moslem in the Land of Israel who should be permitted to stay as a resident.

Of course, if you don't believe me listen to THEM say it themselves.

(Jerusalem Post) - ... Arab MK Ahmed Tibi (United Arab List) responded, “The attacks on him from the right-wing are hypocritical, self-righteous and ridiculous.” MK Tibi added that he, too, never sings the anthem.

“HaTikvah’s words cannot be sung by any Arab citizen,” he pointed out. “Lately we have witnessed a torrent of anti-Arab statements and this should be understood in this context,” he said.

All of the vermin must be expelled. Every minister, every cab driver, every doctor, every mechanic, every shoe salesman, every photographer, every cleric. Not one moslem of any kind, size, shape or gender should be allowed to be given residence in Israel for even a single minute. Until this is the official government policy of Israel, the JEWISH STATE will NEVER have peace.
