“Representatives of the team try to harm the coexistence and partnership that exist in the region between Arabs and Jews,” said Haddad. “I think it was [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez herself who said she had no idea of the geopolitics of this regional one is right. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib know exactly what is going on here, but they decide to lie and turn the facts. “
Haddad, the CEO of Together control for each other – an organization that was founded in 2018 by young Israeli Arabs to bridge cultural and religious gap – has emerged as a prominent voice in the public diplomacy – efforts of Israel after Hamas’ October 2023 massacre.
Since the attack, Jewish communities in the United States and Europe have had to deal with a strong increase in anti-Semitic incidents, with Pro-Hamas demonstrations that appear at university campuses in 8 October.

“The first group is what I call the useful idiots – people who have no idea what’s going on, but became a member because it felt like the cool thing to do,” Haddad said. “Then there are the paid demonstrators. You see the same faces on different rallies with different signs-sums it is about LGBTQ problems, sometimes it is pro-Palestinian, sometimes it is about internal American problems.”
“It is always the same person, only a different outfit and another sign,” he went on. “And the third group – the most dangerous – are the extremists who came from the middle. Those are those we have to worry about the most.”
Haddad followed the rise of extremist voices in the west to waves of immigration and population displacement of conflict zones in the middle East. While the majority of Muslim migrants persecuted persecution in search of a better life, he said, a vocal minority brought the ideology of the Muslim brotherhood with it, so that their communities were effectively hostages.

“If you have so many immigrants around the world, it is enough for 10 or 20 percent of them to be extremists – and suddenly you have to deal with millions of extremists,” he said.
“Struis birds, when there is a danger and there is a problem, what they do is that they put their heads in the sand, thinking that the problem will simply pass because nobody will notice them,” he added. “And this is what the weak governments are doing now, becoming like an ostrich. The only problem is that nobody skips them, it will make it easier to chop their heads.”
Tackling allegations that Israel enforces an apartheid system between Jews and Arabs rejected Haddad.

The Harvard Dean councilor resigns from the post after a lawsuit claims that he ‘helped’ Hamas.
“In real apartheid, such as in South Africa, everything was separated – transport, hospitals, courts, sports, even walking on the sidewalks,” said Haddad. “But if you actually come to Israel and see life here, it is the opposite – 180 degrees different.”
“Stop talking from a place of emotion – that’s exactly what the team does,” he went on. “Start talking about facts. Then you will realize that everyone who concludes Israel is an apartheid status is an imbecile.”

He also mentioned a run-in that he had with a demonstrator, whom he mentions as ‘the useful idiots’.
They have no idea … Once I read the Hamas Charter for a pro-Palestinian useful idiot, I read it to them, and I said you agree, and they said no, no, no, no, I didn’t know that. And I said yes, but this is what you support and he had Hamas’s headband on his head. You understand that this is what you support.
“He then literally took the band. Such useful idiots like these have a lot, not only in the United States, you can also see it in Europe.”

When asked what he believes that the Palestinians eventually want, Haddad often be heard on slogans in anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protests, such as “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “there is only one solution: Intifada Revolution.”
“The majority of Palestinians don’t want to live next to Israel,” said Haddad. “So if people talk about a two-state solution and ask for the commitment of Israel, I say: don’t ask the Israelian question to the Palestinians. You will be shocked to discover that many of them are not willing to accept it.”
Haddad pointed out that history can be approached in several ways – through religious texts such as the Torah for Jews, the Bible for Christians and the Koran for Muslims. Even those who are atheists can look at history books for proof of the deep -rooted band of the Jewish people with the land of Israel.
Haddad argued that the Torah explicitly mentions the presence of Jews in Israel, which means that their presence goes back thousands of years. He also emphasized the Biblical reference to the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem, Jewish and disputes that Palestinian Muslims have a historic claim on the land for the Jews.
Haddad noted that although Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Quran, the term “sons of Israel” appears more than 43 times. He also emphasized that the name “Palestine” was imposed by the Romans as a punishment for the Kokhba -uprising bar.

Haddad emphasized that in 1947 Arabs had the opportunity to set up a Palestinian state through the UN partition plan, which the Jews accepted despite receiving less land and fewer resources. However, the Arabs rejected the plan and chose to wage war. When the Jews came as a victor, 156,000 Arabs remained in what Israel became. Haddad shared his personal relationship with this history and explained that his grandfather was one of those Arabs who was staying and eventually became part of the Arabian Israeli identity.
“It is either that you accept the fact that Israel exists and here is to stay, whether you will continue with this cycle of bloodshed and death that we are trying to escape,” Haddad said. “But those who will suffer the most are you, the Palestinians, either on the West Bank or Gaza.”
Several requests for comments sent to reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and Omar were not returned.
