Islamic Society in Denmark: Send all immigrants home

.. from Israel

--

Kasem Ahmed, spokesman for the Islamic Society in Denmark is willing to recognize Israel, when all Jewish immigrants who had come to Israel after 1948, and their descendants, will be sent back to their homelands.

"All Jewish immigrants in Israel will emigrate from Israel. They will go out again and back to their homeland. When that happens, we can talk of recognizing a state. It is possible that it will not be called Israel," said Kasem Ahmed in an interview to Jyllands-Posten.

In their place, he will bring in Palestinian refugees and their decedents.

A few points to consider:
1. Almost all Jews who emigrated to Israel from Arab countries did so after 1948. Ahmed is therefore calling for the repatriation of all Arab Jews.

2. It is interesting that Ahmed talks only about the Jewish immigrants to Israel. Would he say the same of the Arab immigrants?

3. I think it is very stupid for an immigrant to call for the ousting of all immigrants (and their descendants), from any country.
