Arabs and Moslems in Support of Israel By Nonie Darwish
Who are we?
We are Arabs and Moslems who believe…
a.. We can support the State of Israel and the Jewish
religion and still treasure our Arab and Islamic culture.
b.. There are many Jews and Israelis who freely
express compassion and support for the Palestinians.
It is time that we Arabs express reciprocal compassion
and support.
c.. The existence of the State of Israel is a fact that
should be accepted by the Arab world.
d.. Israel is a legitimate state that is not a threat
but an asset in the Middle East.
e.. Every major World religion has a center of gravity.
Islam has Mecca, and Judaism certainly deserves its
presence in Israel and Jerusalem.
f.. Diversity should not be a virtue only in the USA,
but should be encouraged around the world.
We support a diverse Middle East with protection
for human rights, respect and equality under the law
to all minorities including Jews and Christians.
g.. Palestinians have several options but are deprived
from exercising them because of their leadership,
the Arab League and surrounding Arab and Moslem
countries who do not want to see Palestinians live in
harmony with Israel.
h.. If Palestinians want democracy they can start
practicing it now.
i.. We stand firmly against suicide/homicide terrorism
as a form of Jihad.
j.. We are appalled by the horrific act of terror against
the USA on 9/11/2001.
k.. Arab media should end the incitement and
misinformation that result in Arab street rage and
violence.
l.. We are eager to see major reformation in how
Islam is taught and channeled to bring out the best in
Moslems and contribute to the uplifting of the human
spirit and advancement of civilization.
m.. We believe in freedom to choose or change one’s
Religion.
n.. We cherish and acknowledge the beauty and
contributions of the Middle East culture, but recognize
that the Arab/Moslem world is in desperate need of
constructive self-criticism and reform.
We are NOT:
a.. Anti-Islam, Anti-Arab, confrontational or hateful.
We remember with deep sadness and respect the
brave Arabs, known and unknown, who were killed
or severely punished for promoting peace with Israel;
a special thanks to President Anwar Sadat of Egypt
who was killed at the hands of Militant and Radical
Islamists after he signed the peace treaty with Israel.
We salute and commend Arab and Moslem writers,
scholars and speakers, who found the strength,
commitment and honesty in their hearts to speak out
in support of Israel. We thank you for being the
pioneers that you are and for holding such
sophisticated and advanced views in the realm of Arab
and Moslem thinking. You are inspiring us all.
ARABS AND MOSLEMS WHO WISH
TO POST THEIR VIEWS IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL
CAN DO SO BY EMAILING US.
WE WILL THEN POST THEM ANONYMOUSLY,
IF THEY WISH.

A spirit of Tolerance…
This is a plea to all the good and wise Muslims and
their religious leaders and Imams around the World to
bring out the best in Islam and start a reformation
movement and the re-interpretation of the Koran in the
spirit of tolerance and acceptance of our cousins the
Jewish people and their rights to their land of Israel.
As all Arab children (I was born and raised as a
Muslim) our education never included the obvious
honoring of the Koran to the children of Israel.
The Koran is filled with such Suras supporting Israel.
It is our choice to bring out the goodness in the Koran
through our behavior as Muslims towards our cousins
the Jewish people. We need to extend our hand to
Israel in peace. They are desperate for peace.
The world is waiting to see the Arab well known
generosity through our courage to overcome our fears.
Israel’s hand has been extended towards us for a long
time. Let us not ignore it any longer. God’s blessings
will cover the whole Middle East area and will bless our
children when we stop the hate and start a new era of
cooperation and friendship…..
