Algerian-Born Student Sees Israel as a Beacon of Hope
In Europe and the United States, pampered academics rail against Israel, proclaiming it guilty of exploitation, apartheid, organ stealing and genocide; they demand that the Jewish state be subjected to boycotts, sanctions and isolation.
Meanwhile, among those from the Arab world given the opportunity to study in the West are a few daring enough to repudiate the mindless hatred they were exposed to in their native lands that they now hear repeated by their professors.
Abdel Bioud is an Algerian Muslim student who serves as the Vice President of Communications for McGill University’s Students for Israel (in Montreal, Canada). He writes:
All Arab countries are dictatorships. That is, you have ruling gangster families on top, who use their monopoly of violence (via the military) to kill/imprison anyone who questions their business plan. The business plan is the following:
1. Use force to maintain power and keep disarmed humans living in fear.
2. Send kids to government controlled schools so they can get indoctrinated with four things:
The ruling family is great (à la Kim Jung Il).
Their country is the greatest.
The Palestinian cause is something that is part of their identity.
Force feed them Islam so it can be used as a tool to control (I use the term force feed because I was force fed Islam in the Algerian government school since day 1).3. While people are brainwashed and live in fear, negotiate a percentage on those resource/construction contracts
Bioud then asks,
Now, what about Israel? If you’re a citizen there, your basic freedoms are respected. You can live peacefully, raise a family, and send your kids to competitive and globally recognized universities. This simple basic respect for human dignity put them light-years ahead of any Arab state. As a human being who seeks to improve himself, Israel is a logical choice. It is the only place in the Middle East where your potential can be fully expressed.
Bioud sees Israel as a “force for good” in the Middle East region.
Differentiating himself from the Western academics who malign Israel, Bioud adds,
It’s coming from someone with a Muslim name and an Arab face… who actually lived and was raised in an Arab country. It’s not like I don’t know what I’m talking about and I’m just fantasizing from 5,000 miles away, like most people do.
