‘I am an Arab Zionist’

“The Quad,” Ep. 10

This week, “The Quad” interviews Rawan Osman, a peace activist and the founder of “Arabs Ask,” a new forum that seeks to debunk anti-Israel and antisemitic stereotypes prevalent in the Arab world.

Osman details her journey from a Hezbollah admirer who hated Jews to an Arab Zionist who loves the Jewish state.

In addition, “The Quad” delves into the perseverance and resilience that the Israelis have demonstrated since Oct. 7. From farmers in the south to security personnel in the north; from women making do without their husbands, who are serving in the Israel Defense Forces throughout the country, to families holding on to hope for the deliverance of relatives from captivity in Gaza, Israeli society has shown incredible strength.

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

Alyza Lewin, president of U.S. affairs at the Combat Antisemitism Movement, stated that El-Sayed’s victory “should raise alarm bells for Jewish Americans across the country and everyone who believes in civil rights for all.”
Israel has “a right to kick out and stop working with UNRWA any time it wants,” the legal scholar Eugene Kontorovich told JNS. “Moreover, it’s not even obligated to work with any U.N. agency, only to ensure that certain humanitarian needs are met.”
The U.S. president insists that American naval forces are maintaining a strict blockade until Tehran agrees to a deal or total surrender.
“You try to take us down, we’ll come back bigger and better,” Howard Szalavetz told JNS of plans to rebuild the restaurant as police probe the fire as a possible hate crime.
