Two Kuwaiti members of Parliament took the rare step of not merely acknowledging military trade and other dealings with Israel, but praising the Jewish state, in video clips compiled and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

In interviews aired on Al-Adala TV and posted online in late June, the MPs defend financial ties with Israel, one of them citing religious doctrine permitting dealing with Jews, and the other saying he “loves” Israel for helping keep Kuwait safe.

“The sharia permits us to have dealings with the Israelites. We follow the example of the Prophet Muhammad, who died while his shield was mortgaged with a Jew,” said Hammad al-Dosari, an independent MP from Kuwait’s fifth district. When the interviewer notes that he has been criticized for saying such things, al-Dosari responded saying, “You criticize me? Go criticize the Prophet Muhammad. A Muslim does not talk. He obeys the instructions of the Prophet Muhammad.”

Al-Dosari was referring to the belief that the Prophet Muhammad used his armor as collateral when purchasing grains from a Jewish merchant in Medina shortly before his death. The parable is meant to highlight the Muslim leader’s altruism, remaining destitute after giving all his possessions away in alms.

Al-Dosari’s colleague, Nabil al-Fadhl, went so far as saying that he “loves” Israel for selling Kuwait military equipment.

“If the security of Kuwait requires the purchase of Israeli equipment, I will do so, and I will love the Israelis for it. It is permitted to deal with anyone for the sake of Kuwait’s security,” argued al-Fadhl.

The legislator responded to the interviewer’s surprise and dismay at his professed willingness to trade with “Zionists,” saying: “So what? We’re talking about my country’s security. How exactly did the Muslims benefit us, when our Arab neighbor [Iraq] invaded our country? I am willing to buy equipment from Israel to protect my country from its Arab and Muslim neighbor.”

Israel and Kuwait do not enjoy formal diplomatic relations.

      Joop you missed out on a Nostradamus quote,i will help you out,But what puzzles me is why someone with your intellect would post this stuff,that time would be better spent looking for real facts,But anyway here is some utter gibberish about the middle east,it makes about as much sense as what you just posted in fact ist much more coherent in some ways,my point all predictions are pure speculation,at best a self fulfilling prophecy,,,i am not questioning any ones faith here,just making the same point as before,,,
      Nostradamus Century 1, Quatrain 70:

      Rain, famine and war will not cease in Persia;
      too great a faith will betray the monarch.
      Those (actions) started in France will end there,
      a secret sign for one to be sparing.

      Nostradamus Century 1, Quatrain 73:

      France shall be accused of neglect by her five partners.
      Tunis, Algiers stirred up by the Persians.
      Leon, Seville and Barcelona having failed,
      they will not have the fleet because of the Venetians.

      Nostradamus Century 2, Quatrain 96:

      Burning torch will be seen in the sky at night
      Near the end and beginning of the Rhone:
      Famine, steel: the relief provided late,
      Persia turns to invade Macedonia.

      Nostradamus Century 3, Quatrain 64:

      The chief of Persia will occupy great “Olchades,”
      The trireme fleet against the Mahometan people
      From Parthia, and Media: and the Cyclades pillaged:
      Long rest at the great Ionian port.

      Nostradamus Century 3, Quatrain 77:

      The third climate included under Aries
      The year 1727 in October,
      The King of Persia captured by those of Egypt:
      Conflict, death, loss: to the cross great shame.

      Nostradamus Century 3, Quatrain 78:

      The chief of Scotland, with six of Germany
      Captive of the Eastern seamen:
      They will pass Gibraltar and Spain,
      Present in Persia for the fearful new King.

      Nostradamus Century 5, Quatrain 25:

      The Arab Prince Mars, Sun, Venus, Leo,
      The rule of the Church will succumb by sea:
      Towards Persia very nearly a million men,
      The true serpent will invade Byzantium and Egypt.

      Nostradamus Century 5, Quatrain 27:

      Through fire and arms not far from the Black Sea,
      He will come from Persia to occupy Trebizond:
      Pharos, Mytilene to tremble, the Sun joyful,
      The Adriatic Sea covered with Arab blood.

      Nostradamus Century 5, Quatrain 86:

      Divided by the two heads and three arms,
      The great city will be vexed by waters:
      Some great ones among them led astray in exile,
      Byzantium hard pressed by the head of Persia.

      Nostradamus Century 10, Quatrain 21

      Through the spite of the King supporting the lesser one,
      He will be murdered presenting the jewels to him:
      The father wishing to impress nobility on the son
      Does as the Magi did of yore in Persia.

      2012 Doomsday Prophecy

      Read the unbiased truth here. Eleven prophecies for 12/21/12 examined. Written and produced exclusively by Whiteout Press. Click here.

      Some of these prophecies, like the one that references the date October 1727, are obviously not referring to the current confrontation. Others however, are hauntingly similar to today’s current events.

      Century 5, Quatrain 25:

      The Arab Prince Mars, Sun, Venus, Leo,
      The rule of the Church will succumb by sea:
      Towards Persia very nearly a million men,
      The true serpent will invade Byzantium and Egypt.

      War in today’s Middle East has already been plotted out by the various nations involved. Here’s how the modern day scenario is expected to play out – Israel launches a strike, possibly nuclear, on Iran to disable its nuclear capabilities. Iran responds by launching attacks on Israel and US ally Turkey, as Iran has already stated it will do if attacked. US carriers and war ships will launch attacks on Iran from the Persian Gulf. Russian made anti-ship missiles will be utilized by Iran to take out the US Navy. NATO troops will deploy to Turkey to protect their ally. The one million-man Iranian-backed army will march across Iran’s ally Iraq, and into Israel and Turkey. Israel at the time of Nostradamus, was controlled by Egypt and Turkey was called Byzantium.

      This Quatrain literally spells out Iran’s already-stated military response if attacked by Israel or the US. Consider another striking observation. A common theme in many of the above Nostradamus predictions is the loss of America’s Naval fleet. Statements include: ‘The rule of the Church will succumb by sea’, ‘The great city will be vexed by waters’, ‘The chief of Scotland, with six of Germany Captive of the Eastern seamen’, ‘The trireme fleet against the Mahometan people’, ‘Long rest at the great Ionian port’, ‘they will not have the fleet because of the Venetians’. These lines aren’t from the whole of Nostradamus’ collection either. They are only from the Quatrains that mention Persia/Iran.

      The most haunting Quatrain however, comes from a search of Nostradamus’ predictions centered around the word ‘Arabian’, as in Saudi Arabia:

      Nostradamus Century 6, Quatrain 44

      By night the Rainbow will appear for Nantes,
      By marine arts they will stir up rain:
      In the Gulf of Arabia a great fleet will plunge to the bottom,
      In Saxony a monster will be born of a bear and a sow.

      First, Nantes is a region of France. And many of Nostradamus’ prophecies dealing with Persia, war and the New City, also include references to France, ‘Those (actions) started in France will end there’, ‘France shall be accused of neglect by her five partners’, etc. France on the west’s side, along with Egypt on the east’s, has long been used and considered a fair and impartial middleman in negotiations between the globes two regions, religions and governments. Nostradamus would suggest that in this next confrontation, France will somehow let her partners, 5 of them, down.

      Another hugely important line is, ‘By marine arts they will stir up rain’. The US government has been accused for decades of having “weather machines”, capable of creating hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters. Could Nostradamus be describing this very same weapon, only being used in this coming conflict to the detriment of America’s own fleet?

      Also consider another Quatrain about Arabia that describes a great battle to come:

      Nostradamus Century 3, Quatrain 31

      On the field of Media, of Arabia and of Armenia
      Two great armies will assemble thrice:
      The host near the bank of the Araxes,
      They will fall in the land of the great Suleiman.

      Remember, ‘Media’ is in Iran. Armenia, Iran’s northern neighbor, has been forever fought over by the Turks, Persians, Russians and Europeans. The Araxes is located in eastern Turkey, the location of Iran’s announced invasion in response to a US or Israeli attack. And the land of the great Suleiman, is also Turkey. In fact, most of the above Quatrains reference ancient cities that are in either Iran or Turkey.

      Let’s take a closer look at Nostradamus’ prediction that, “In the Gulf of Arabia, a great fleet will plunge to the bottom”. Right now as this article is being written, the US Navy has sped two full aircraft carrier fleets to the Arabian Sea, where they currently wait for a third US carrier fleet led by the USS Abraham Lincoln to arrive. While the US government insists it is simply a “coincidence”, having 3 full aircraft carrier fleets in the Arabian Sea at the same time is practically unheard of.

      But could the Iranians sink the largest surface fleet in the world? Consider this quote from Military.com three years ago:

      “Those two countries [Russia and China] have an advanced technology that most people dramatically underestimate. Russia right now has a few surface to surface missiles that we have no defense against except to put a helicopter in between the missile and the target. I hope and pray that we never have to go to war with Russia or China in the future especially after working intel in the Navy aboard the USS Enterprise. I’m not out of date either, I discharged off that ship august of 2007 and we were observing some serious ****. Most of those things would give you nightmares and cause utter chaos to the general public if they ever got wind of what was actually going on.”

      Website Magazine

      The fact is, while the US has spent its energy and money developing aircraft carriers and accompanying aircraft, America’s enemies have spent that time developing anti-ship missiles that could destroy an entire aircraft carrier in the blink of an eye.

      Also remember the transfer of America’s top secret missile technology to China in the 1990’s by President Clinton. Read the Whiteout Press Timeless article, ‘How China Conquered America’ for details. That allowed Communist China, and her allies, to speed past the US in missile technology, allowing China to be the first country to successfully use weapons in outer space. That’s a fact. And with China and Russia’s command in missile armaments over the US, the first strike by any US enemy will be upon America’s satellites, thus rendering the entire United States military deaf, dumb, blind and immobile.

      If Nostradamus’ predictions are accurate, it would appear the 16th century prophet is warning America that if it goes to war with Iran and the entire Muslim and Arab world, its fleet will be at the bottom of the Arabian Sea and hundreds of thousands of US troops stationed in the Middle East will be surrounded, cut-off and slaughtered, a thousand miles behind enemy lines.

      While this American author doesn’t like imagining that any more than the next proud US citizen, a prudent war master like Sun Tzu would suggest, or demand rather, that we take into account all possibilities and warnings. For as Sun Tzu taught, ‘win the battle before you fight it’, and ‘only fight battles you’re positive you’re going to win’.

      Also, as a life-long student of Sun Tzu, Nostradamus and others, this author can say with all honesty, God gave mankind freewill. That means nothing is written in stone. While our destiny is lodged in one outcome today, we have it in our power to change our destiny. The harder part is enlisting the humility to take an honest look at the current scenario and have the courage and readjust as needed. If that isn’t done, America may be doomed to repeat the Confederate quote from America’s civil war, “They’d rather lose the war than admit to the mistake”.

      We, as well as most of the world, hope and pray that Israel, Iran and the United States somehow find a peaceful way to end this rapidly approaching conflict. As Nostradamus warns us, nobody will win. The US fleet will be at the bottom of the sea, Israel will be overrun, Turkey will be destroyed repeatedly, France will betray her allies, a monster will be born in Germany, Christianity will be destroyed, and the sea will be covered with Arab blood.

      If that’s the tomorrow the citizens of Earth want, so be it. Those of us less motivated by greed, power and hate are begging the world’s leaders to slow down and see exactly where their actions, threats and pride are taking us, before it’s too late.

    Aha i understand now that Nostradamus prophecy’s are real facts !

    But i know and perhaps you know to that for 98 % of the mo slims the words of allah are forever and not changeable

    So it does not matter what i and you believe but what they believe.

  9. artaxes's avatar artaxes Says:

    Let’s be realistic.
    The Kuweitis love Israel in the same sense that Israelis loved Idi Amin who was once an ally of Israel.
    When your survival is at stake you apply different standards in picking your friends and allies.

    Facts:
    – An increasing number of antisemitic crimes in Europe is committed by muslims.

    – Polls show consistently that the Muslim attitude towards Jews stays negative,

    “Ratings for Jews are uniformly low in the predominantly Muslim nations surveyed – in all seven of these nations, less than 10% have a positive opinion of Jews. Indeed, outside of Indonesia, less than 5% offer a positive opinion”

    To deny the reality is not only misleading but it is also dangerous.

      Right on, but that is exactly what we are doing denying the reality.

      That is why i quote the koraan.

      1.500.000.000. people believe in the words of allah and his schizophrenic prophet

      ( more a mental ill pervers megalomania warlord in short holy crap ).

      There will no lasting peace as long the whole world is not dar al islaam

      The saudi, s thinking that they are the rightful people to rule the world in the name of allah.

      You know the foot soldiers in the name of the heavenly warlord.

      Do you realy think that afters Iran and Syria it will be over ??

      Only if the hell freezes over .

      We need more time so they can develop common sense and a ratio.( takes another 200 years or so )

      In the mean time we have to take care that they would not take us over by any means.

      But you can always bent over for a saudi king !!

      The biggest mistake we are making is giving mo slims weapons, ( or selling )

        Well trying to tame the Arabs is a great British pastime you shroud read what Churchill had to say about islam,but yes there must be hope and some give and take and maybe after time and some trust yes i think at the very least a peace could be reached,politically it depends on whether the rational and secular win look at the history of Europe it took us along time to free ourselves from the tyrannical fundamentalists,But we did in the end,the real problem is a lot of Muslims have just realized that living in the 15th century is not too good,islam is compatible with the world if it moves into the 21st century,and the best way to purge the superstition,is by educating the arabs it will all take time,i hope this is the beginning of the road to peace as Israel cannot live in a constant state of war,Israel could be a model for the whole middle east and a pillar of stability,all sides are now tired of war

        Dude, no need to lecture me on Islam.
        You are not the only one here who knows a thing or two about islamic theology (especially taqiya and the concept of hudna).
        Frankly, this is annoying.
        I don’t like your attitude. Comes across as arrogant.

        What prompted you to ask me this question?
        “Do you realy think that afters Iran and Syria it will be over ??”
        This surprises me, since that was not the subject of my comment.

        Sadly, there is a thing that is called Realpolitk.
        This means that you have to do sometimes deals with persons or states that you don’t approve of.
        However It is important that you do this only when absolutely necessary and that you stop this as soon as possible.
        And it is also important that you never lie to yourself about the nature of these persons and states and that you don’t become like them in the process.
        Of course, the problem with the current US and European leadership is, that they are either stupid, suicidal, corrupt or that they even share the ideological goals of our enemies.
        Worse than that many of our leaders ally themselves with our enemies against us.
        In short: There is a difference between Realpolitik and suicide.

    At the heart of the problem is the question: Can islam be reformed?
    While wishful thinking tells us yes, history tells us no.

    Even if one thinks, that islam can be reformed, there is still one big problem: Any reform would take a lot of time. We are talking about decades if not centuries.
    Meanwhile the Muslim population in Europe is growing very fast.
    In some countries muslims will be a majority in a few decades from now.
    But then we are faced with the same problem which moderate muslims have to confront in many muslim countries.
    The moderate muslims are threatened by the radical muslims with violence which ensures that certain practices like the death for apostates and blasphemy laws are not abolished.
    This in turn prevents the moderate muslims from being critical of certain aspects of islam and from openly practising their religion in a moderate way.
    We have to distinguish between muslims and islam.
    Islam as a religion is rotten to the core and it will be much more difficult to reform it than Judaism or Chrisianity.
    Indeed I am convinced that it cannot be reformed.
    Moderate muslims are just ‘bad muslims’ who are largely ignoring certain aspects and doctrines of islam.
    Finally, the assumption that the overwhelming majority of muslims is moderate is simply false.
    This makes the idea that islam can be reformed even more illusory.
    So we have to deal with this ugly truth instead of comitting the error of wishful thinking and of following the false political correct narrative.

    “Four out of 10 British Muslims want sharia law introduced into parts of the country, a survey reveals today.

    The ICM opinion poll also indicates that a fifth have sympathy with the “feelings and motives” of the suicide bombers who attacked London last July 7, killing 52 people, although 99 per cent thought the bombers were wrong to carry out the atrocity.”
