In a May 5 interview on Egypt’s Channel 2 TV, Egyptian Professor Amr Allam, head of the Department of Hebrew Language at Menoufia University, said that “the Israeli violence or aggressive spirit is embedded in the Jewish genes.”

As a guest on “The Blue Line”—a weekly show on Channel 2 dedicated to Jews and Israel—he also theorized about the reasons for the “abnormal” Israeli character.

TV host Hazem Abu Saud said that the Holocaust “was not directed specifically against the Jews, but against all the people suffering from diseases, and so on,” and that the Jews “have exploited” and “continue to benefit” from what happened to them in the Holocaust.

Protesters praise “unity between the Iranian and Israeli peoples.”
The Palestinian gunmen were spotted riding in a pickup truck.
The Iranian-backed organization fired two projectiles at Israeli communities near the border.
The Islamic Republic’s president calls on citizens to reduce the use of electricity in the wake of the war’s devastation.
One professor who served on the committee that created the report said the Trump administration’s accusations of antisemitism at Yale “were a pretty serious exaggeration.”
“Amid the alarming rise in antisemitic incidents across Canada, this report represents an important contribution to the development of effective solutions,” the Israeli embassy in Canada stated.
