Arab activist: My journey from hating Jews to loving Israel

“The Quad,” Ep. 29

In this week’s episode, “The Quad” is joined by guest host Chama Mechtaly, a Jewish-Muslim activist, and Luai Ahmed, a Yemen-born Swedish journalist, to discuss the dangers posed by radical Islam and the antisemitism emanating from sections of the Muslim world.

They also discuss how Europe and America are ignoring the problem for fear of being called racist. As Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre in southern Israel is being celebrated openly in the streets of New York, London, Paris and Malmö, Switzerland, is the West failing to combat the poison of Muslim extremism?

And, of course, learn the Scumbags and Heroes of the Week!

“I didn’t serve this country to watch it get sold out by a career politician, who would rather protect his party than his constituents,” Cait Conley stated.

Darializa Avila Chevalier’s victory over incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat caps off a trio of wins for candidates who made opposition to Israel a focus of their campaigns for New York congressional seats.
AIPAC spokeswoman Deryn Sousa told JNS that Adrian Boafo “has made clear his vision to carry forward the strong pro-Israel legacy of Congressman Steny Hoyer, one of Congress’s most steadfast champions of the U.S.-Israel relationship.”
The Associated Press called the race early for the Jewish Democrat, whom the mayor has backed.
