A HaKol HaYehudi investigation uncovered a group of supposed ‘human-rights’ activists from Europe who came to Israel claiming to be tourists, but instead went to Judea and Samaria to protest for "human rights." There, they participated in a recent show of support for Hezbollah in central Ramallah.
HaKol HaYehudi obtained footage of a demonstration about three weeks ago wherein four foreign activists can be seen next to known inciter Hashem Abu Raya, referred to as "Abu Saleh". While the activists stand by, Abu Saleh shouts incitement and expresses support for Hezbollah and the Oct.7th massacre by Hamas.
"Blessings to our brave heroes, the resistance fighters, the jihadi fighters of Lebanon and our heroic Hezbollah," began Abu Saleh.
"From here, from this rally, I express my most heartfelt blessings to Hezbollah - its leaders, staff, members and supporters in Lebanon. Today the martyrs of Lebanon are one with the martyrs of Jerusalem... We declare today that we are with Hezbollah and with the resistance throughout the region in Yemen, Iraq, the West Bank, and Gaza- the Gaza of heroes, the Gaza of October 7th".
Abu Saleh goes on to praise the Houthi terror group as well. "Blessings to Ansar Allah [the formal name of the Houthis] and to Mr. Abdul al-Malik al-Houthi. Blessings to our axis - in Yemen, in Iraq, and in heroic Lebanon; to the West Bank of our resistance fighters, and to Gaza, Gaza of October 7th. Together we will never surrender nor be vanquished".
The activists appearing in the video are known participants in actions against IDF forces and carry out provocations against Jewish residents in the Hebron Hills and Binyamin regions.
It should be noted that two of the activists are German citizens who were arrested just before Rosh Hashanah near Havat Ma'on and who have since been deported from Israel by the Israeli police.
In his speech, Abu Saleh identifies the European activists standing next to him as members of the ISM organization, which has been bringing activists to Israel for years. Notably, ISM’s activities and its links to Hamas were previously exposed in a series by the "Ad Kan" organization and Tzvi Yehezkeli.
ISM was in the news recently after an American activist of Turkish origin affiliated with the group was killed during riots in the village of Beita in Samaria.
The footage obtained here also does not represent the first time that activists from ISM and other foreign groups who claim to focus on "human rights" have been uncovered expressing support for Hamas and Hezbollah.
Towards the beginning of the war, Hakol HaYehudi published a comprehensive report on ISM activists and their involvement in Hamas-led demonstrations in Hebron.
Following this report, one activist was deported from Israel and others fled to Ramallah.
Likewise, a radical Israeli activist, Neta Golan, set her Facebook profile image to that of a Gazan bulldozer breaking through the fence during the Oct. 7th massacre.
Another activist from the International Women's Peace Service (IWPS) organization, on which we also published a comprehensive report, expressed support for rocket fire by terrorists from Syria on Israel. Our investigation revealed that IWPS sends activists to Samaria each year to help with the olive harvest. We documented how during one of these trips, activists cleaned the graves of mass-murderers and terrorists in Balata and spread lies in foreign media that children buried in the cemetary had been killed by Israel.
Lastly, we exposed Arik Ascherman, a well-known radical Israeli left-wing activist and Reform rabbi who has been operating in Judea and Samaria for years. Ascherman stated to HaKol HaYehudi in a conversation that he cooperates with ISM activists and proclaimed that he will continue to assist Arabs who support Hamas, even after the Oct. 7th massacre.
