Last update - 21:03 17/03/2008 Jordanian Islamists: Merkel runs risk of igniting `enmity` of Arabs By DPA Tags: Jordan, Israel, Merkel  Jordan's largest political party, the Islamic Action Front (IAF), lashed out Monday at Merkel's remarks on solidarity with Israel, warning she was creating "enmity" with the Arab and Islamic worlds. "Germany has no record of enmity with the Arabs, but Merkel is now involving Germany in enmity with the Arab and Islamic peoples and her remarks will encourage the Zionists to commit new crimes" against the Palestinian people, Hikmat Rawashdeh, senior official at the IAF Executive Bureau said in a statement. "It is illogical to see the German sin complex towards what the Zionists allege as holocaust find expression in an unjust bias against the Palestinian people, who themselves have become the target of another holocaust as a senior Israeli official put it recently," Rawashded said. Advertisement "If the Germans have committed a sin against the Jews, they are now committing a big crime when they support the expulsion of a people from their land and placing killer gangs in place of them," he added. The IAF official criticized the German chancellor for "her failure to mention the dangerous Zionist violations and the ugly siege" of the Gaza Strip where he said more than 130 Palestinians were killed and about 300 wounded by Israel earlier this month. "What the German Chancellor is doing will be recorded by history as a flagrant aggression on the rights of the unarmed Palestinian people," he said.
