He is known for his hardline views on immigration and opposition to Islam.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI lived in Israel for a while, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-franklins-name-scrubbed-from-tacoma-city-park\/\" title=\"Ben Franklin\u2019s Name Scrubbed From Tacoma City Park\">long time ago<\/a>. I\u2019ve seen it too,\u201d Wilders said. \u201cThen it was still from Jordan where the terrorists entered. I also experienced what it was like when those terrorists crossed the border and how you had to take shelter in air raid shelters. And how then the army, with helicopters and magnesium bombs lightings, looked where people were, to protect their population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know one thing, it\u2019s hatred from these kinds of Islamic groups like Hamas, the Islamic Jihad group, and also Hezbollah,\u201d he continued. \u201cThere are many of those groups. And they deny the Jewish state\u2019s right to exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then appeared to be address another member of Parliament, saying: \u201cAnd I think you once made a picture like that, too, or your colleague, about what Israel would look like. Well, you also denied Israel\u2019s right to exist in that picture. And I think that this is not only anti-Semitic, but that is exactly how it should not be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are being attacked by people who want a country and a people not to exist,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s not what Israel does. Israel puts the Arabs in the Knesset, in parliament. In Israel, they are full-fledged citizens, who are better off living in Israel than living in the Palestinian territories. Israel does not attack another country and has never attacked another country without first being attacked itself. Not in the Yom Kippur war and not in any war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that radical Muslims \u201care out to destroy the Jewish State and kill its inhabitants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for me and my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">political party<\/a>, it is not difficult to see with whom we stand in solidarity,\u201d he concluded. \u201cAre we with the Jewish people, who are fighting for their existence, or are we with Islamic extremists, terrorist scum who want to exterminate them?
