Hello John and
Doves,
Yosef Haddad is an
Arab Israeli journalist, in the below video, he gave a
talk at Oxford Union. He is a staunch defender of
Israel. He has been 'setting the record straight'
about the Arab and Jewish relationship in Israel for
several years.
He was born in
Haifa and grew up in Nazareth. He describes himself
as a Greek Orthodox Christian Arab Israeli. He
joined the IDF and eventually commanded Jewish soldiers.
He refers to the IDF not as the Jewish Defense Force, but
the Israeli Defense Force - it defends all
Israelis.
He was
injured in the Second Lebanon War - where he credited
Jewish soldiers for saving his life.
He speaks up for
Israel and defends Israel and 'speaks the truth''
concerning the Palestinians, Hamas, Gaza, the West Bank,
etc. He stands against Anti-Israel organizations and
people.
In this article,
Haddad was asked, 'What should American Jews know about
Israeli Arab society?'
Haddad responded
with the results of a survey: How do Israeli Arabs
define themselves? Israeli, Israeli Arab, Arab, or
Palestinian? The survey showed 75% answered Israeli
Arab or Israeli. Only 7% said Palestinian.
Also, Israeli Arabs were asked if they would give up their
Israeli citizenship to become Palestinian citizens.
Over 75% said 'no'.
The
Arab Christian with Israeli bonds - The Jewish Standard
This 'debate' is
excellent - it's directed at the anti-Israel,
pro-Palestinian people in the audience. There are a
lot of Palestinian supporters in the audience.
Right at the
beginning of this video he played a recording that Hamas
released of a Palestinian who had taken part in the
slaughter on October 7, 2023. Haddad told the
anti-Israelis in the audience that they would call this
Palestinian 'a civilian if the IDF eliminated him'.
He noted that both Israelis and Palestinians were murdered
that day.
From 1948 to 1967,
Gaza was ruled by the Egyptians and the West Bank was
ruled (illegally) by Jordan. Back then there was
never a claim for a Palestinian state. Now they are
fighting for the borders of 1967. Now they are
calling for a Palestinian state.
Haddad said he bets
the audience has no clue which river and which sea, "but
you are like zombies chanting "From the river to the sea,
Palestine will be free." He said, "If you want to
free Palestine, first free Palestine from Hamas.
Free Palestine from terrorists." Those people who support
'free Palestine' are terrorists themselves.
In speaking to the
pro-Palestinians in the audience, he said 'they have the
audacity' to come and speak to an Arab who was born in
Haifa, raised in Nazareth...and then tell him he lives
under an apartheid regime. He said "shame on you,
you have no clue what you are talking about."
When he grew
up, he lived and played with Jews, Arabs, Druzes, and
Christians. He said they were all friends, shared
holidays, and spent time together. And they learned each
others' language. This is how he grew
up. When Haddad
told the audience that he had joined the IDF when he was
young, after seeing his Jewish and Druze friends
joining, many booed him and yelled 'shame'. He
said he is "really, really proud of that shame."
Haddad told the
story of how a Palestinian female suicide bomber blew up a
restaurant in Haifa, a restaurant co-owned by Jews and
Arabs - 21 Israelis were murdered - Arabs and Jews; over
50 Israelis were wounded - Arabs and Jews. He said
he joined IDF to protect the Israeli society - of Jews and
Arabs together. He said he protected his country,
his people from terrorist organizations like Hamas who
kill Arabs and Jews. And in the IDF, he became a
commander - as an Arab he gave orders to Jewish
soldiers. This is not an apartheid regime.
In one of his
previous talks, he talked about an anti-Israel student
that told him he was a 'sucker' because once the Jews are
done with you they'll kick you aside. He said that
in the Lebanese War he was badly injured - and it was 4
Jewish soldiers that carried him off the battlefield under
fire. They saved his life. He was not
'discarded' and left to die.
He has a strong
voice about Jews and Arabs in Israel. He is the
voice of Arabs speaking the truth. Speaking against
apartheid. Speaking against terrorists.
Speaking for Israel.
Haddad speaks with
much passion. And he is speaking TRUTH against the
minions of satan -Those that want Israel destroyed and the
Jewish people eliminated.
God bless him and
keep him safe! There is much hate directed against
him and his message.
Pray for the peace
of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
