During the closing plenary
session at the 2012 meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, former
President Bill Clinton failed to hold Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi
to account for the anti-Semitic and anti-U.S. incitement engaged in over
the years by both Dr. Morsi and the EgyptianMuslim Brotherhood. At
time 55:03 in the video
of the session, Mr. Clinton seem to be about to ask Dr. Morsi about
this incitement but ended up remarking only that the “fairly large”
number of Jews in the audience were among those who wished him well and
wanted him to succeed.
The GMBDR wonders how many of
the Jews in the audience would have wished Dr. Morsi well knowing that
in 2004 he said that the “Quran has established that the Jews are the
ones in the highest degree of enmity towards Muslims” and that “there is
no peace with the descendants of the apes and pigs”. As reported in a
post earlier this week, an organization known as Secure America Now has
released an information packet titled “The truth about Mohammed Morsi”
which presents a fully sourced compendium of statements as well as other
information about the Egyptian president. The report begins
with an introduction characterizing Dr. Morsi’s statements and other
facts covered in further detail later on in the publication:
- “Resistance is the correct and only way to free the land from the filth of the Jews” (Mohammed Morsi, July 2007).
- His words are reflective of his contempt for Jews, The United States, and the State of Israel.
- Dr. Morsi joined the Muslim Brotherhood while living in the United States
- Two of his sons were arrested at anti-Israel, anti-United States demonstrations in Egypt
- Dr. Morsi has repeatedly denounced Egypt’s treaty with Israel.
- Dr. Morsi is an unabashed supporter of Hamas
- Dr. Morsi believes the 9/11 terrorists have not been identified.
- Dr. Morsi has repeatedly defended the Sudanese President al-Bashir who has committed genocide against the people in Darfur.
- Dr. Morsi has pledged to work for the release of Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, a militant Islamist preacher imprisoned in the United States for planning the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
It should also be noted that
during his speech at the Clinton Global Initiative, Dr. Morsi also
repeated the claim ( time 41:45) that children were “starving” in Gaza, a
claim that Hamas itself has denied.
