Swedish-Moroccan writer Ahmad Rami, the founder and head of the Swedish-based “Radio Islam,” said in a recent TV interview that Judaism “is like a mafia in the West.”

Rami, who was convicted in 1990 for hate crimes, said that “the Zionists are occupying Europe and the West both politically and in terms of the media.” When the Al-Mayadeen interviewer tried to draw a distinction between Zionists and Jews, Rami responded that “there is no difference between Jews and Zionists” and said that Judaism “is like a mafia in the West.”

“The media in its entirety is Zionist,” he said, adding “YouTube is Zionist, Yahoo is Zionist, and Google is Zionist, but they compete for a share of the market.”

The interview aired on June 6. For similar statements made in 2005 by Rami, see MEMRI TV clip 875.

During a heated exchange at a conference on conflict-related sexual violence, Israel’s ambassador accused senior United Nations representatives of bias against the Jewish state.
One of the soldiers was killed in an incident in which two others were critically injured and an officer was moderately injured.
“Hezbollah is Iran’s long arm and they don’t want a cease fire,” the ambassador said.
“IDF soldiers must stand between Hezbollah and Israeli civilians. We will not wait for the next attack to reach our homes.”
The Jewish state, by contrast, absorbed Holocaust survivors, Jews expelled from Arab states and others who did not maintain their refugee status.
