Cleric calls Moroccan Jews who made aliyah "traitors" and "criminals"

Ahmad Raissouni, vice president of International Union of Muslim Scholars, says Moroccan Jews who chose to emigrate to Israel are "traitors" and "criminals."

Raissouni, in an article on his official website, said that the Moroccan Jews who have left their country of Morocco and immigrated to Israel have taken part of their national homeland with them and had "betrayed their country of origin." If I am understanding correctly, he also accused them of making Israel look lik it is kind to them, another unforgivable crime.

Moreover, Raissouni said that Moroccan Jews in Israel had "betrayed the pro-Palestinian cause of the Moroccan people."

Raissouni praised the Moroccan Jews who have not left Morocco. He also said that it was possible that some of the Jews who moved to Israel were deceived by Zionists about the facts, and they would be welcome back to Morocco.

After he called them traitors.

One media outlet covering the story helpfully added that some of the Moroccan Jews in Israel carry weapons in order to kill Palestinians.
