Brooklyn, NY – During an impassioned speech delivered in New York earlier this month, a Muslim-American youth director/activist from Brooklyn said it is the “responsibility” of American Muslims to enact an economic “jihad” on all companies doing business with Israel until the “lands of the world are free.”

In a MEMRITV. org (http://bit.ly/1pQCN18) clip of the Friday, August 8 speech delivered by Rami Kawas, the young activist called on American Muslims to boycott Coca-Cola, Nestle, Dannon, and “the hundreds” of different companies doing business with Israel.
Kawas, who has previously been featured in a FAITHINTHEFIVEBOROUGHS.org (http://bit.ly/XFlNjU) video, during which he introduces himself, saying, “My name is Rami Kawas. I’m a New Yorker, a proud Muslim-American, and I’m a Brooklynite,” oversees the spiritual guidance of over 500 young Muslim-Americans through his work at the Brooklyn and Staten Island chapters of the Muslim American Society.
Kawas boldly told the audience repeatedly that Muslims are “obligated to fight—–anybody, anywhere, any time—for their justice and their freedom,” and that “we will fight every corrupt leader and every corrupt government until the lands of the world are free.”
“As Muslims living in America in ease and comfort and bliss,” Kawas shouted, “our Jihad, one of our Jihads, is that we don’t buy Israeli products.”
In rejecting calls for peace in the Middle East, Kawas said, “We don’t want peace in the region. We don’t want a peace process that brings more occupation.”
In emphasizing his point, Kawas said it it the responsibility of American Muslims to “put up a big dam, a wedge” between the “illegal Zionist movement and the free people of our country.”
Shouting his conclusion, Kawas said, “Don’t tell me that Israel is a democratic ally of this country, that shares its values and its morals, when it is an apartheid ethnic-cleansing state that oppresses not only Palestinians, but every race and every demographic other than the holy state of Israel.”
Tell all Muslim cheap contractors in NY not to do any work for Jews, cement, painting, pointing, waterproofing etc.
and we Jews will boycott all newsstands and taxis!
Even he said something right. He called it the “holy state of Israel”!!
Our enemies are many, our friends, few but we ‘Bnei Yisroel’ are the Chosen Nation, not Yismael and not Eisov, chosen by ‘Melech Malchai Ha’mlochim’, eternally, as His people!
These s’onei yisroel are just a bit of dust along the journey that wither away into eternal nothingness because ‘Netzach Yisroel Loi Y’shakair’ !
He was honest an right about one other thing:
“In rejecting calls for peace in the Middle East, Kawas said, “We don’t want peace in the region.”
The nations of the world including the anti Semitic UN would do well to take to heart what this savage says,
They want to take over wherever they are after Pearl Harbor the United states put all the Japanese into camps and bombed them-after 9/11 the US went to war in Afghanistan-what do they want Israel should sit back
People are allowed to spend their money as they like.
Why is this person given space in public media ? to make more hatred? Why cant the moslems complain about the sectarian killings in the moslem countries?
I hope the follow through and stop using the medicines, medical devices cell phones and other electronics developed in Israel. Do they realize that the must boycott WAZE which means they may not find their way to the next Jihad event?
Go clean up your arab countries of corruption and genocide (Sudan for example), first, before thinking of USA an others. What a hypocrite of a person this man is.
Let’s hope he gets prosecuted for his nasty words. You don’t likethis country, go away!
He should not use a cell phone or a computer. Be careful what kind of medecine you tke or what kind of immunizations you get!!
At least he is honest. Liberal Jews read this and make excuses for him. We read and say OK, do what you want. At least you are showing your hatred on your sleeve.
PS- Muslims in NYC have very little economic clout. I did research for my company. The only Muslims with real clout in the US are Persians in North Virginia and Southern Cal. And some Saudis in DC.
Also, no way he works with 500 kids. A few dozen maybe. They always lie about their demographics. Learned that too. There are around 1.5 million Muslims in US and that includes lapsed, irreligious and even converts to Christianity. They claim 6 million.
Wonder where they got that number,,,,
FYI, he speaks at the MAS (Muslim American Society) Youth Center which is at 1933 Bath Avenue (between 19 and 20th Avenues) Bensonhurst, basically right in our back yard. You can check out their Facebook page. He probably does work with at least a couple hundred kids; its a very busy place and on Fridays the streets are double-parked blocks around. They are running a very sophisticated operation. It would be interesting to know who is funding them….
If the U.S. (and Jews) don’t keep an eye open to this terrorist, he will blow up something in NY in the near future.
Not for profit 501 (c) 3’s lose exempt status if they get involved in politics. Let’s see if the IRS sends agents like they did with conservative groups.
