A Muslim IDF Officer Defends Israel - Israel Today Staff

A Muslim IDF Officer Defends Israel

Sunday, March 06, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff
Like most local Arab Muslims, Alaa Waheeb was brought up to believe the Jews living around him were his implacable foes, a blood-thirsty enemy that desired nothing but ruin for his own people.
“I was raised to believe the worst things about Jews, and, had I not eventually met and worked alongside them, I might still believe those things today,” Waheeb wrote in an op-ed for the UK’s Jewish News.
Fortunately, Major Waheeb did get the chance to dispel those myths, and today proudly serves as the highest ranking Muslim in the Israel Defense Forces.
He was in the UK last week to speak to students on local campuses during the annual hate-fest known as Israel Apartheid Week.
Maj. Waheeb noted that during his campus lectures, he was joined by a fellow IDF soldier, a Jewish “medic who has treated both Israeli soldiers and Palestinian terrorists without distinction.”
The two were billed as “the Muslim who protects Jewish lives, and the Jew who saves Muslim lives.”
Very astutely, Waheeb insisted that “there’s only one country in the Middle East that could produce a couple like that – and it sure as hell isn’t an apartheid state.”

WATCH: Arab Muslim Discovers He's a Jew

WATCH: Arab Muslim Discovers He's a Jew

Tuesday, December 09, 2014 |  Israel Today Staff
Mordechai Halawa’s touching story of growing up a Kuwaiti Muslim with Palestinian Arab ancestry only to discover he’s actually a Jew has been making the rounds in the Israeli media over the past week.
Born Mumtaz Halawa, he always knew his grandmother had been a Jew who converted to Islam in order to marry his grandfather, an Arab from what is now the Palestinian Authority-controlled town of Nablus (biblical Shechem).
In Islamic law, someone born to a Muslim father is, therefore, a Muslim. Halawa never thought differently of himself, despite knowing his grandmother’s background.
That was until a Jewish man in Canada, where Halawa had gone to study, informed him that Jewishness is not primarily a religion, but rather an ethnicity that cannot be erased by conversion to one religion or another.
“I felt that until that day I was in a dream world, and then someone smacked me and I woke up,” Halawa told Orot TV.
Having come to a sudden realization that he was the enemy he was raised to hate, Halawa changed his first name to Mordechai, immigrated to Israel, began living as a Jew, married a Jewish girl, and is proudly hopeful that the children he will one day have will be Israelis.
A number of research projects in recent years have revealed that Halawa might not be alone, and that a large percentage of what are considered to be “Palestinian Arabs” have at least some Jewish heritage.
The narration in the video below is in Hebrew, but Halawa speaks in English throughout (besides the opening seconds, when he is speaking to friends in Arabic):
