An Israeli newspaper reported that one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s sons had posted anti-Islamic remarks on his Facebook page: “Terror has a religion and it is Islam.” Haaretz said the posts were deleted after it inquired about them and were no longer visible on Yair Netanyahu’s page. Yair serves as a soldier in the IDF, Israel’s army.

David Shimron, a lawyer for the Netanyahu family, did not deny the report but called it a “ridiculous and cynical use of a teenager’s comments.” Shimron also said the younger Netanyahu had “expressed himself in an informal virtual forum” and that he “respects all people and is ready to live in peace in Israel with people of all identities.”

Amongst other comments Netanyahu was said to have posted were that Palestinians “have no land, this is part of Israel, never in history was there a Palestinian state.”He also said that “not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.”

Islamophobia and the Atlantic Alliance …

Geert Wilders’ Islamophobia funded by America’s far right lobby groups with Israel in mind

The Islamophobic crusade was launched in earnest at the peak of George W. Bush’s prestige when the neoconservatives and their allies were riding high. In 2003, three years after the collapse of President Bill Clinton’s attempt to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian issue and in the immediate wake of the invasion of Iraq, a network of Jewish groups, ranging from ADL and the American Jewish Committee to AIPAC, gathered to address what they saw as a sudden rise in pro-Palestinian activism on college campuses nationwide. That meeting gave birth to the David Project, a campus advocacy group led by Charles Jacobs, who had co-founded CAMERA, one of the many outfits bankrolled by Chernick. With the help of public relations professionals, Jacobs conceived a plan to “take back the campus by influencing public opinion through lectures, the Internet, and coalitions.”

Inspiration from Israel

It was evident from the involvement of figures like Gravers that the Islamophobic network in the United States represented a trans-Atlantic expansion of simmering resentment in Europe. There, the far-right was storming to victories in parliamentary elections across the continent in part by appealing to the simmering anti-Muslim sentiments of voters in rural and working-class communities. The extent of the collaboration between European and American Islamophobes has only continued to grow with Geller, Spencer, and even Gingrich standing beside Europe’s most prominent anti-Muslim figure, Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, at a rally against Cordoba House. In the meantime, Geller was issuing statements of support for the English Defense League, a band of unreconstructed neo-Nazis and former members of the whites-only British National Party who intimidate Muslims in the streets of cities like Birmingham and London.

In addition, the trans-Atlantic Islamophobic crusade has stretched into Israel, a country that has come to symbolize the network’s fight against the Muslim menace. As Geller told the New York Times` Alan Feuer, Israel is “a very good guide because, like I said, in the war between the civilized man and the savage, you side with the civilized man.”
