Kuwaiti-Palestinian Academic: Dismantling Israel Could Free World from Western & Jewish Supremacy

Turkey-based Kuwaiti-Palestinian academic Sami Al-Arian gave a lecture at the Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Doha, Qatar titled: “Islamic Revival Amidst Western Dominant Discourse.” He said that the Europeans planted their “Jewish problem” into “the heart of the Muslim world” in order to get rid of their “excess Jews that they didn’t like” and to weaken the Muslim nations. Al-Arian added that the Zionist movement’s objectives are all evil, they use bribes, intimidation, and coercion tactics. He said that dismantling the state of Israel has the potential to free the whole world from Western and Jewish supremacy. Al-Arian stated that the goal of Muslims is to dismantle Israel and to weaken Western hegemony. The lecture was posted on the YouTube channel of the CIGA - Center for Islam and Global Affairs on April 24, 2024.

Sami Al-Arian, a former professor at the University of South Florida, was a political activist in the U.S. and was invited to the White House several times during both the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. In 2015. Al-Arian was deported to Turkey following criminal proceedings involving links to Palestinian terror groups.
