Israeli Social Media Post Urging Europe to Restrict Muslims Sparks Outrage
—————————————–
The official Israeli Arabic-language account on X (formerly Twitter) has come under fire after posting a message urging Europeans to “keep Muslims away” and limit the presence of mosques.

According to Common Dreams, the post described the spread of mosques across Europe as a form of “real colonization.” The statement was widely condemned as a blatant call to religious discrimination and racism.

Journalists and social media users criticized the message, calling it “racist” and “Islamophobic,” and highlighted contradictions in Israel’s approach toward other religious minorities, particularly Christians.

The controversy comes at a time when Israel continues its blockade and military operations in Gaza, which have left more than 230,000 Palestinians killed or wounded.

The inflammatory post has fueled international criticism and raised concerns that it could contribute to rising anti-Muslim hate speech and social tensions in Europe.
