Europe’s bias – A deserved rebuke directed at Eric R Mandel (Jerusalem Post) – (1)
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Allah [The Most High] said:
يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٲمِينَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ شُہَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوِ ٱلۡوَٲلِدَيۡنِ وَٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَۚ إِن يَكُنۡ غَنِيًّا أَوۡ فَقِيرً۬ا فَٱللَّهُ أَوۡلَىٰ بِہِمَاۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعۡدِلُواْۚ وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا
O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah; even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do. [An-Nisaa. 135]
In this article, we aim to briefly examine the perspectives of the author as a reminder of what is intentionally being overlooked to justify the excessive retaliation that ensued following Hamas’s attack on non-combatants and civilians on October 7th. It is undeniable that Hamas, or any group identifying with Islam, cannot be condoned for inflicting harm on civilians or unarmed individuals, just as the various Zionist administrations in Palestine cannot evade accountability for their actions against the Palestinians since 1948 and particularly after October 7th. In our humble opinion, no one has yet provided a more deserving rebuke to both Hamas and Netanyahu’s administration than Prince Turki Al-Faisal, may Allah preserve him.

Now, we will cite Eric’s statements and provide some commentary on them.
Eric Stated: Europe’s anti-Israel bias: The EU’s problem with Jews and the Jewish state – opinion. [end of quote]
Response: Zionist anti-Muslim propaganda and self-entitlement: The Zionist problem with Muslims and the Muslim Ummah – opinion.
Eric stated: They say: One can rationalize the cowardice of the European position, as it is dealing with its own growing Islamist population and the demographic decline of its indigenous citizens. [end of quote]
Response: One can rationalise the destructive stubbornness of Netanyahu’s Administration, as it continuously disregards the moral outrage and fierce opposition from the masses against his brutality and the global decline of his propaganda efforts. Regarding the mention of the Muslim population in Europe, Eric should have pointed out that if Europe had not colonised numerous Muslim countries, there might have been a different kind of interaction between Europe and the peoples of those former colonies. Furthermore, even if there was a decline in Europe’s indigenous population, it seems far-fetched to believe that the author genuinely cares about the welfare of Europe. Instead, what often deeply concerns Zionist apologists is their anxiety over a Europe composed of a population that no longer aligns with their interests, or at the very least, a Europe influenced by a segment of its citizens that might influence their governments to immediately stop the crimes of Netanyahu. However, the author will never acknowledge this; instead, he resorts to fearmongering to incite nationalistic feelings. The right course of action for Netanyahu’s Zionists is to confront their issues rather than seek out supporters to aid them in perpetuating their genocide and undermining Palestinian sovereignty.
Eric stated: When have you heard a European leader demand that Hamas surrender, stop using its civilians as human shields, stop using its mosques, schools, and hospitals as staging grounds, or require the terrorist leadership to leave the Gaza Strip without creating a moral equivalence between Israeli and Hamas actions? The answer is “Rarely,” and that includes the first few weeks after the atrocities of October 7, before Israel had even begun its campaign to uproot Hamas. [end of quote]
Response: When have we ever heard a member of Netanyahu’s government call for the IDF to cease its killings of Palestinians, rather than using self-defense as a justification? It’s remarkable that a government boasting the most powerful secret service, capable of infiltrating enemy nations and executing targets from thousands of miles away, struggles to confront Hamas right at its doorstep. If Hamas employs human shields, the IDF has also resorted to similar tactics; in fact, they can still implement the Hannibal code and the Dahiyah doctrine. They have also utilised white phosphorus in the past. Read below:
Has the use of white phosphorus in occupied Palestine ever been attributed to Zionists?
While Hamas’s actions on October 7 cannot be condoned, similarly Netanyahu genocidal actions cannot go on in the name of self-defense. Rather than attempting to protest moral equivalence to rationalise his actions under the pretext of Hamas’s crimes against non-combatants, he should immediately halt the killings. Furthermore, the events of October 7 are merely one in a long line of confrontations dating back to 1948, and Zionist atrocities are well-documented. Read below:
A message from a war criminal to the world – [Engaging in a dialogue with Jane Kiel]
Eric stated: When America’s ambassador to the UN, Dorothy Shea, vetoed a June 2025 UNSC resolution calling for Israel to accept a ceasefire leaving Hamas in place, which every nation on the Security Council, including the French and British, voted in favor of, she told the Security Council: “We would not support any measure that fails to condemn Hamas and does not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza…We cannot allow the Security Council to reward Hamas’s intransigence. It is Hamas that continues to threaten Israelis and puts Palestinian civilians in Gaza in harm’s way, using them as human shields…It is inexplicable that many members of this council still refuse to acknowledge that Hamas could end this conflict tomorrow by surrendering and laying down its arms. It is unconscionable that the UN still has not labeled and sanctioned Hamas as a terrorist organization.” [end of quote]
Response: This statement does not require a response, as it merely reiterates the same narrative we’ve been hearing from Zionists, American demagogues, ideologues, rabble-rousers, and misguided evangelists.
Eric stated: One can rationalize the cowardice of the European position, as it is dealing with its own growing Islamist population and the demographic decline of its indigenous citizens. The cross-section of Muslims in Europe ranges from Pakistanis and Bangladesh natives in England, to the Algerians and Tunisians in France, to the Turks and Syrian refugees in Germany. Despite their differences, the one thing the Islamic immigrants overwhelmingly agree about is a visceral hatred of Jews and the Jewish state. [end of quote]
Response: This statement is a sweeping generalisation. What exactly is an Islamist, and what threat do they represent? Wat does Eric mean by an Islamic immigrant?! Is it someone who engages in terrorist activities, an individual who stands against genocide, a person accused of anti-Semitism, or an immigrant who practices Islam without breaking the laws of their host country, or perhaps the children of immigrants like us who were born in Europe? Eric has not provided any clarification in this section as the aim of the discourse is propaganda—a blend of truth and lies, emotional manipulation, and a victim mentality designed to elicit sympathy in a way that they do not deserve.

Despite the fact that Eric’s article title critiques Europe, it was their ancestors who supported Netanyahu’s predecessors. Read below:
