Israel Embassy In Singapore Forced To Take Down “Insensitive” Facebook Post On Quran

Israeli Embassy in Singapore's Facebook post sparks controversy by claiming "Israel is mentioned 43 times in the Quran" and asserting Jewish indigenousness to the land, prompting Singapore's Law & Home Minister to denounce it as inaccurate and dangerous. Meanwhile, Israel tightens siege on Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital amidst escalating tensions.

Singapore 🇸🇬 is not muslim country. But 7 million Singaporean people are so against genocide of gaza .because they are really human

[@ultimateedgelord3586]

7 million? Lol, speak for yourself. I'm certainly not one who stands with Palestine.

[@ultimateedgelord3586]

@AhmadRizalMohdSalleh hahahaha, you only have enough brain cells to accuse people of being 'occupiers'. Nice try. Last I checked it was the 'occupiers' who transformed a wasteland island into a economic powerhouse. Go stand with a bunch of arabs who migrated to 'Palestine' during the 1920s under the command of the ottomans just to offset the jewish population there.

[@ultimateedgelord3586]

@AhmadRizalMohdSalleh haha the only argument you have for any ounce of intelligence to use is to call someone else an occupier. Nice try, you kick someone out and now you call them an occupier. Last I checked, the Jews are the natives to Israel, not the Arabs.

[@SusieWicks-fg7uu]

But I thought Israelites are an ancient people. I am not Jewish, Moslem or Christian but if I could have been one it would be Jewish. I love the country and the people. Its amazing how this tiny country has survived hemmed in by so much hostility. And I find the people and their reaction to the current hostilities much kinder. While many people celebrate the unspeakable brutality of October 7, many Jewish ppl are calling for a cessation of the war and the hatred. When an israeli person says I love Palestinians, all they get is abuse from the other side. I dont get It. It’s like they are fed on pure hatred. I hate what’s happening in Gaza but pls dont take it out on the beautiful Jewish people.

The Israelites are European whose ancestors converted to Judaism in the 10th century. They are not the indigenous Jews of Middle-East that mentioned in the Bible.

Singapore has to protect its own interests. If necessary, peace and security over hard truth. Even it is true from religious point of view, the goverment is secular and doesn't bother which religion is true as long as the religion complies with the policies of the country.

[@user-oe5jl2br6u]

Israel is one of Singapore’s strongest allies and vice versa. This will probably remains to be the case. The reason for this action is understandable - secular Singapore is led by Mr. Lee Hsien Loong, son of the famous and revered Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, and the leadership is aware of the global negative association with Israel in the light of recent events in GAZA. In the eyes of Muslims, that post was inflammatory and could lead to severe consequences if left unchecked. What the government did was pragmatic - extinguish the little fire before it becomes an inferno. In the past, the island had experienced its fair share of religious and ethnic violence, now no more. One has to comprehend that the prosperous island city comprising 75.9% Chinese, 15.4% Malays, 7.4% Indians and others 1.6% , realises that it’s sits right in the middle of a Muslim neighborhood populated by over 300 million Muslims, many of whom are hostile towards Israel. Some one asked whether the authorities would have embarked upon such an action if the current GAZAN situation didn’t exist, well the answer to that is : go ask the appropriate authorities.
