Australia’s Largest Christian News Site

UK television aired an interview last week with a British Palestinian woman complaining about the evils of Islamophobia in England.

But ITV didn’t tell viewers that the woman had, just days earlier, publicly cheered the Hamas slaughter of Jews as a “moment of triumph”.

Oh, and nor did they tell viewers that their oppressed Muslim works as a correspondent for Iranian state news channel Press TV, where she gleefully reports violence against “the Zionist entity”.

In other words, she is exactly the kind of person you should have a phobia about!

But ITV introduced her to viewers like this:

“For people like Latifa Abouchakra, a British Palestinian living in London, just going about her daily business doesn’t feel safe.”

The poor woman.

Poor Me

Latifa is just your normal, run-of-the-mill, British Palestinian gal, going about her daily life in London, as one does; cheering for the beheading of Jewish babies, and producing anti-semitic news clips for Iranian television.

And get this. You wouldn’t believe how rude people are to her!

Latifa complained to ITV:

“I’ve been called a terrorist. I’ve been asked to go back home. I’ve had people in their cars making threatening gestures.”

Noooo! Surely not!

Now remember, ITV viewers didn’t know the background that I’ve given you. They believed they were watching a young, articulate Muslim lass who is continually given a tough time by bigoted Brits.

ITV portrayed her as an ordinary Londoner battling to make her way in a racist and Islamophobic country.

“It makes me feel that as a Muslim woman in this country, no matter how hard I work, no matter how good I can be, it will never be good enough,” she complained.

“Because apparently Muslims and Palestinians are inherently terrorists according to the narrative of the media.”

Cry me a river!

If you watched the ITV interview without knowing any background, you would have assumed that Latifa was a saint, and that all Brits were Muslim-hating bastards.

Gleeful Over Genocide

But hold on a second. Have a listen to Latifa on Iranian television the day after Hamas snuck into Israel and murdered 260 young people at a dance party.

Latifa reported:

“As fragile as a spider’s web, the Zionist entity is shaking with fear. In an early morning shock, Palestinian resistant factions from Gaza launched an unprecdntded three-pronged attack on the entity.”

And listen to Latifa in a video posted on social media right after the October 7 massacre of Jews. Grinning like a Cheshire Cat, she said:

“Nothing will ever be able to take back this moment,” she said. “This moment of triumph. This moment of resistance. This moment of surprise. This moment of humiliation on behalf of the Zionist entity. Nothing, ever!”

The ITV’s poor ‘victim’ of rampant Islamophobia had literally rejoiced over the genocidal massacre of entire families.

Her joy was palpable.

The last time I remember being that happy was when I passed my high school exams. It’s amazing how different things make different people happy. But I digress.

As one person noted, rather inelegantly, on social media:

“She is having an orgasm over dead Jews. What kind of peace can you expect to have with a person like that?”

Latifa ‘what a moment that was when babies were beheaded’ Abouchakra is exactly the kind of Islamist people have every right to be Islamophobic about!

Which is why it is difficult to understand how ITV chose her to talk about the scourge of Islamophobia in Western society.

ITV featured a woman complaining about Islamophobia, not a week after she was cheering for the slaughter of Jews.

But that’s not the most incredible part.

When conservatives drew people’s attention to what this ‘victim’ of Islamophobia had said about the Jews, they were then accused of spreading Islamophobia.

We have entered the Twilight Zone.
