If Muslims are against Zionism, then they should stop touting palestinianism.  The question that Muslims must answer is why are only Muslims entitled to self-determination?  What the Jew-hating international community fails to remember is that both Palestinian Arabs and Palestinian Jews were residents of the Mandate of Palestine — therefore,  Muslims have no absolute, natural right to “the land” nor to self-determination without the reciprocal absolute natural right of the Palestinian Jew.  Palestinian Arabs can not veto the “rights” of the Palestinian Jew since the Palestinian Jew had a prior right to create a national existence in the lands of the Mandate of Palestine thousands of years before Islam was even invented.  Read below for another example of Muslim hubris.  Via MEMRI:

In an interview with the weekly Kul Al-Arab, which is published in Israel, Mas’oud Ghanaim, member of the United Arab List (Ra’am-Ta’al) in the Israeli Knesset, from the southern branch of the Islamic Movement, called for establishing a Great Islamic Caliphate that will include Israel, and said that all means were valid for defending Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa mosque. Ghanaim also expressed support for the Iran-Syria-Hizbullah axis, and called for recognizing the legitimacy of the Hamas government in Gaza.

The following are excerpts from the interview:

“…Q: As an Islamist, do you believe that there is a need to establish an Islamic state or Islamic regime in Palestine and in the Arab and Islamic homeland?

“A: There is a need for the return of the Islamic Caliphate, and I think that this is the ideal solution to the weakness, collapse, and crumbling afflicting the Arabs and Muslims… I think that a [new] Islamic caliphate is [also] in the interest of the Jews themselves, since their golden age as Jews came during the [medieval] Islamic Caliphate.

“Q: What are your conclusions about our people’s Nakba [i.e. the results of the 1948 war], and what is the solution?”

“A: We, as an Islamic movement, present a view that is different, and an interpretation that is different, from those of the other parties regarding the reasons and circumstances of the Nakba. We do not focus on external elements such as colonialism and occupation, nor [do we focus] geographically only on Palestine. In our view, the Nakba is the result of the weakness and collapse of the overall Islamic body, and therefore we must not isolate ourselves [from the rest of the Muslim world], and must strengthen the Islamic body and entity.”

“Q: What is to be Israel’s fate in such a situation?”

“A: Israel must be part of the great Islamic state. We are not against the Jews, just against the Zionist movement and its racist ideas. But we must not forget our responsibility [for our fate] and the causes of the Nakba…“
