Muslim, Zionist and proud - Israel Opinion, Ynetnews
Kasim Hafeez is a British Muslim and former Islamist who is now a proud Zionist and stands with Israel
No apartheid state
I did not encounter an apartheid racist state, but rather, quite the opposite. I was confronted by synagogues, mosques and churches, by Jews and Arabs living together, by minorities playing huge parts in all areas of Israeli life, from the military to the judiciary. It was shocking and eye-opening. This wasn't the evil Zionist Israel that I had been told about.
After much soul searching, I knew what I had once believed was wrong. I had been confronted with the truth and had to accept it. But I had a bigger question to confront, what now? Id for years campaigned against Israel, but now I knew the truth.
The choice was obvious: I had to stand with Israel, with this tiny nation, free, democratic, making huge strides in medicine, research and development, yet the victim of the same lies and hatred that nearly consumed me.
Doing this is not easy and thats something that has become very obvious. I have faced hostility from my own community and even some within the Jewish community in the UK, but thats the reality of standing up for Israel in Europe today. It is not easy, and thats what makes it so necessary.
This isnt about religion and politics; its about the truth.
When it comes to Israel, the truth is not being heard, the ranks of those filed with blind hatred continue to swell, yet many have not been exposed to the reality, away from the empty rhetoric and politically charged slogans they are so fond of.
We can change this situation but we need to be strong and united. Israel is not just a Jewish issue - its about freedom, human rights and democracy, all the values that Western nations cherish. Its also about trying to be a light among nations.
Israels international humanitarian aid work speaks for itself, but if we dont get the message out there, no one will. We dont have to be head-bowed apologists leading with :Israels not perfect " - we should never be afraid to say: I am a Zionist and Im proud. I stand with Israel. Now I ask, will you do that?
Here's another great Muslim, Tashbih Sayyed, who sadly has since passed away.Kasim is a Muslim! I used to be an antisemitic Islamist, but soon saw the light after visiting Israel and seeing the country for itself. Now is a beacon of truth and hope!
I donated to his cause and hope others will also. He is a Brave and Great man!

Hopefully others will dare to search for the truth by themselves instead of believeing everything the radical Islamists say.
Children of Israel! Call to mind the special favor which I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you to all other
