It is significant that in the only Arab country where the president is elected by popular vote, the winner (by a landslide) is the man who made fierce opposition to any normalization with the Israeli enemy his signature stance. He even called that “high treason”.

I am talking about Tunisia of course. In the presidential debate he even said that he considers Tunisia “in a state of war” with Israel.

Wow. In his victory speech, he said that the Palestinian cause will be the top cause, and said that the Palestinian flag should have been there next to the Tunisian flag.

which can only mean that within weeks, Western governments and media will accuse him of anti-Semitism.

Although he made it explicitly clear during his discussion of Palestine that he harbors no ill-will toward Jews or Judaism.

And no, by listing his stance on Palestine, it does not mean that I support his stances on gender or gay rights.
