Islamists who are part of this travel experience espouse the principles of multiculturalism and tolerance when it comes to the recognition and accommodation to their demands; they refer to non-Muslims disparagingly as infidels and label anyone who criticizes Islam as an “Islamophobe.” Islamic doctrine promotes a view of Islam as the primordial religion and purports that biblical history is Islamic history. The prime objective of their misinformation campaign is to repudiate the “People of the Book” — both Jews and Christians. In the Muslim world, this is exemplified by the pronouncement, “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.” By advancing the narrative that Israel is an occupier, repudiating Jewish history and denying Jewish ties to their ancestral land, it is a small leap to nullifying the Gospels and obliterating Christianity.
Meanwhile, Leftists, who have joined the Middle East travel bandwagon, operate under the guise of being advocates for “social justice” and “peace,” which takes a critical look at Israel’s national defense activities but spares from such harsh view the suicide bombings or rocket attacks by Arab-Palestinians or conflicts in the Sudan, Somalia, Egypt or other hotbeds of terrorism. This double standard is applied to Israel’s actions, places blame for so-called Arab-Palestinian oppression squarely on the shoulders of the Jews, and demonizes Israel’s security fence and anti-terrorist checkpoints.
Thus, this seemingly innocuous network of tourism enterprises is actually a comprehensive influence operation to indoctrinate unsuspecting tourists and turn them against the Jewish state. By denying and undermining the truth of the Middle East and replacing it with lies and propaganda, the travel experience actually aims to impose the one supreme religion — Islam — and deny all other faiths.
