The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has again taken to task an Islamic preacher in Florida who recently advocated numerous antisemitic conspiracy theories during a religious service.

Imam Fadi Kablawi gave a Friday sermon on Jan. 26 at Masjid As-Sunna An-Nabawiyyah in North Miami, Fla., that was streamed online. He proclaimed that “Hamas is going to finish Israel, and they are going to start going to Europe and America. It is going to take a long time, digging a tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean, dude.”

“Zionism is the problem of the world. Take it from me. Go back and read their history, learn their history,” said Kablawi, according to MEMRI. “Who did assassinations all over the world? Who blew up buildings all over the world? Who blew up American ships? Who did? Hamas or the Mossad? Who blew up [the World Trade Center] on 9/11?”

The imam also described Israel as “enemies of human beings,” warning: “If they do it to the Palestinians in Gaza, they will do it to you, if they need to.”

At the same time, Kablawi insulted Americans in general, calling them “naive”—that they “have no clue.”

“All they are worried about is the Super Bowl,” he said mockingly.

The two heads of towns on the Lebanese border oppose relocation as residents receive short “reprieve” hotel stays instead.

“The expansion of our emergency services will help us better care for patients with the most serious injuries, ensuring they receive the specialized treatment they need, when it matters most,” the hospital said.
“Once again your decisive leadership brought another great victory to America,” the Israeli leader says.
“My intent was to honor our Jewish neighbors and friends,” Nathalie Kanani stated. “We are all human, and even with the best intentions, honest mistakes can happen.”
The man was recognized by police officers while attending a court hearing of the three other suspects connected to the case.
The U.S. president warned that the U.S. military will begin targeting Iranian power plants and bridges on Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened.
