Arab Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad says that describing Al Aqsa Mosque as in danger is a “complete lie.”

“Israel does everything to protect it,” Haddad says on this week’s episode of “Global Perspectives” with Ellie Cohanim.

Haddad is the CEO of “Together – Vouch for Each Other,” an organization that aims to enhance the connection between the Arab sector and the rest of Israeli society.

“I have been hearing that Al Aqsa is in danger since I was born,” he says.” “This is a complete lie. Al Aqsa was never in danger.”

Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, and to claim otherwise is disingenuous, according to Bahrain-based political affairs expert Amjad Taha.

“When a person claims to be anti-Zionist but not anti-Semitic, it is equivalent to saying that they are not Islamophobic but despise or hate all Muslims,” he tells Ellie Cohanim on this week’s “Global Perspectives.”

On this week's Global Perspectives, Ellie speaks with Fmr. Assistant Secretary for Management at the Treasury Department David Eisner. They discuss how President Biden's policies have destroyed the American economy causing hyper-inflation and are pushing the US away from being energy independent.
