What!? Israel and Jews in general should confront the religion of Islam as being a pack of Jew-haters. How dare Bill Warner make such a suggestion? It is not politically correct of castigating an entire religion with followers in the billions, is it?
Actually Bill Warner is right on!

Israpundit provides a historical perspective of the founding of the modern State of Israel. I believe it is doubtful you have read this perspective in Leftist influenced text books in High School or the collegiate level. The text book perspective is probably loaded with accusations of Jewish atrocities as the Zionist State of Israel emerged.
I am certain there are acts of violence perpetrated by the independent Jewish militias that eventually merged into the Israel Defense Force (IDF). The fight for independence and Israel’s desire for a sovereign State for Jews to live in which the government’s policy does not even have a hint of anti-Semitism undoubtedly led to some bad decisions. One has to wonder: How did the Jewish desire for a Jewish State for Jews differ from the Islamic hatred spread in propaganda by Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini calling for the extermination of Jews in the British Palestine Mandate. Jewish militias only began to utilize violence when it became obvious the Brits were determined to leave the Palestine Mandate. The Brit determination to leave was matched by the desire for the British Empire to have good standing with Middle Eastern Muslims. The Arab violence began as a result of al-Husseini Jew-hatred and the belief the Brits and America would befriend Arab nations to counter Soviet expansionist dreams at the end of WWII.
Anyway … further your Israeli historical education which Israpundit insinuates is the American plan for the Middle East – at the expense of Jews.

European history is rampant with anti-Semitism stretching from the farthest reaches of the West to the farthest reaches of the East. Misguided Christians were taught to hate Jews for being Christ-killers. Even though Jesus descended from mother Mary (as son of man) has a Jewish pedigree and the nature of the Early Christian Church has its direct roots in practicing Jews who believe Jesus the Son of God is the Messiah promised by Moses.
Amazingly secular Europe that is less Christian and more humanistic is re-visiting anti-Semitism again. What has causes this new hatred toward Jews? Is it the old Christian prejudice based on “Christ-killers” or the extreme myth of sacrificing Christian babies for their blood?
NOPE! Most indigenous Europeans have forsaken the practice and influence of Christianity in favor of the moral relativity of Secular Humanism.
One does not need a statistician or a scientific survey to make an educated guess for the existence of European anti-Semitism. The migration of large chunks of Muslims to European nations has both re-instilled hatred for Jews and to view any Israeli act of self-preservation as an act of aggression against oppressed Arabs who want to be called Palestinians.
Europeans and the Middle East even extrapolate myths from actual occurrences in other geographical areas. The classic case for that is the FBI bust that caught public officials and Orthodox Rabbis in corruption in New Jersey and New York. A significant amount of the culprits were of a Jewish ancestry whether observant or not. All the crimes were related to public corruption and money laundering to gain an illicit buck. The part that stands out to anti-Semites is that one of the Jewish culprits was part of an organ harvesting ring - Levy Izhak Rosenbaum.
Rosenbaum is the only one of the 44 arrested in which his involvement was money for organ harvesting. After a quick perusal of the list of 44 I could pick out roughly 16 that appear to have a Jewish heritage by name association (mind you it’s just a guess). This would mean over half of those arrested were of the typical ethnic melting pot of America.
This brings us back to reemerging European anti-Semitism. The largest circulated daily newspaper in Sweden is known as Aftonbladet. Freelancer Donald Boström wrote a scathing notorious blood libel that the Rosenbaum organ harvest crime is an example of why the IDF needs to be investigated for harvesting organs from unwilling Palestinians. The blood libel of harvesting Palestinian organs is like one of the propaganda lies perpetuated by Arab-Islamic terrorist organizations.
Match this blood libel with the fact that Sweden has between 400,000 and 500,000 Muslims out of a population of roughly nine million Swedes with a huge anti-Semitic bias.
The website Honest Reporting details the total lack of proper journalistic investigation by Donald Boström. Both Boström and Aftonbladet editors have admitted there is NO verification of the anti-Semitic story. Even so Aftonbladet has backtracked a little by claiming the story falls under editorial freedom of the press. The problem is the original Aftonbladet story was not on an editorial page. It was written as factual reporting.
Yossi Klein Halevi places European anti-Semitism in stark terms. His article “Incite to Murder” is a must read.

The Western Left and Mohammedans in general have gone to great lengths to equate Israel’s political system to the former racial Apartheid State of White South Africa.
South Africa’s Apartheid was a racial policy in which Whites by law were a superior race and non-whites (mostly indigenous Black Africans) were inferior second class citizens with little to zero civil rights. The Africans (as opposed to the Afrikaners) were the huge majority of the population whose lives were exploited for labor and segregated from the White-Afrikaner populations that enjoyed the primary perks that the Apartheid system provided them.
To accuse the Zionist State of Israel of Apartheid is simply moronic. Within the borders of Israel non-Jewish (Arab) citizens have full rights as citizens even though there is Jewish discrimination against Arab citizens. Arab citizens of Israel have full rights to vote, use mass transportation, and receive medical care and so forth. Arabs and Jews are not prohibited from the same public buildings such as restaurants or water fountains. The discrimination Arab-Israeli citizens’ experience has more to do with individuals not offering rent to Arabs (although a large element of Arabs do rent in predominantly Jewish areas). A loan may be turned down to an Arab-Israeli. Certainly racial profiling is involved by government police forces and the Israeli military in law enforcement and National Security.
It may sound deplorable but I find it understandable there is a large amount of distrust for Arab-Israeli citizens. Can you say, “Islamic terrorism?” Jewish businesses, men, women and children are often the target of Islamic terrorist homicidal attacks. There is the maiming of Jews and foreign tourists. Under the circumstances the state of civil siege Jews receive in Israel I am frankly surprised that Apartheid or repressive actions are not prevalent inside Israel.
The lands conquered as a result of the self-defense from Arab invasions should not be considered occupied as much as repayment for reparations for winning wars of Arab aggression. After all, the 1947 partition plan of the British Mandate of Palestine was to create a Jewish State and an Arab State side-by-side. Multiple Muslim supremacist and Arab nationalist nations could not stand to have Jews return to their homeland in which Muslims conquered in the 700’s AD hence their invasion. The land that was to be the Arab State was gobbled primarily by Jordan (then Transjordan). The Arabs of the former British Palestinian Mandate hence were treated as foreigners by the Hashemite Jordanian Kingdom (Bedouin governing elite) in the land that was designed for their existence in a sovereign nation. Eventually the Arab populace created to be Palestinians by the Arab invaders of 1948 - 67 became a threat to the Hashemite Kingdom and a brief civil war had the Bedouin army expel the PLO terrorist army of Yasser Arafat from Jordan.
Now there was an Apartheid system even before the word came into the existence in the 20th century. The Muslim system of conquest for the chunk of land called Palestine by Romans who evicted a majority of Jews (but not all), was convert to Islam, become an extremely taxed for protection second class citizen not having the same rights as a Muslim OR die.
Life has improved a little in the Muslim Middle East for non-Muslims (kafir), but not much. Most of that improvement is due to Western scrutiny or the symbiotic relationship of receiving Western wealth for oil.
Today’s Arab-Israeli citizenship is treated way better than ANY non-Muslim living in Muslim dominated land!
Steven Plaut wrote an essay about President Barack Hussein Obama’s little published hypocrisy about Arabs and Jews in Jerusalem. It is entitled, “Obama’s Apartheid Plan For Jerusalem.” That plan includes not allowing Jews to rent, own or build in the Old City part of Jerusalem (aka East Jerusalem). That is a prime indication that BHO intends to force Israel to divide Jerusalem giving the eastern part to the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians.
Obama intends to make the Jews who are living in their own Capital City either to move or become the second class citizen that Mohammedan ideology enforces on non-Muslims. In the case of the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians imagine how that second class citizenship will pan out. KEEP IN MIND the Arab media continuously writes and broadcasts lies and hatred about Jews (There are many YouTube links that may have been yanked).
Do you see the irony that a son of an African Muslim who represents the full circle of rights for Afro-Americans in the USA who have a history of slavery in America is promoting class discrimination?

Have you ever heard the name Naim Ateek (an Anglican Priest)? If you hear or see that name it should evoke images of Judas Iscariot betraying Jesus the Christ.
Ateek is a classic example of Anti-Semitic propaganda that is prevalent in Europe (I presume Britain in Ateek’s case) and is now gained a forum of listeners in America.
Ateek is an Anglican Priest who has made a living of calling Israel a genocidal nation. He calls Arabs that call themselves Palestinians an oppressed people. All this remarkable venom he levels against Israel even though the Arabs calling themselves Palestinians are Jew-hating terrorists or at the least supporters of Jew-hating terrorists.

I have to confess I am not a big fan of Michael Savage. His version of the Slanted Right appears to be a bit harsh. On the other hand he is battling CAIR so I do have a bit interest in Savage at the moment.
Recently Savage was on a list of undesirables forbidden to enter the United Kingdom. I haven’t followed up on the certainty of a WND report that the incoming Home Secretary was removing Savage from that list.
Now information has been dredged up that Michael Savage was placed on that ‘forbidden to enter’ list because he is Jewish by heritage. Evidently the British government in typical Leftist egalitarian fashion that most of Europe is noted for these days did not wish to appear to be singling out Muslims for that list. The word came down to place Jewish Savage on the list in an effort to bring balance to the amount of Muslims on the list.
I guess this is the logical step for a nation willing to abandon its Western heritage to accommodate an immigrant Muslim culture by allowing Sharia Law to trump British law when it comes to intra-Muslim affairs in Britain. Couple this Muslim accommodation with rising European (including Britain) anti-Semitism, I guess the next logical step is to ban an American Jew as if that will placate the indigenous immigrant Muslim population.
Now that is a load of British manure.
In case you are not aware. President Barack Hussein Obama has joined the “give the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians a sovereign nation” crowd. This crowd spreads across the Democrat-Republican political spectrum. Most Democrats believe the poor Arabs put in refugee camps because of a multitude of Arab invasions into Israel suffer because Israeli occupation. How can a nation occupy land that was theirs in the first place?
The Republicans in the pro-Two-State solution believe a sovereign Palestinian State will be the beginning of the end of American hatred in the Middle East.
Both these Democrats and Republicans are nuts.
I am a Bible kind-of-guy and as such I see even more land that is not modern Israel’s indeed should be. But let’s go into the secular realm.
After the Ottoman Turks lost WWI the British and the French took possession of the Ottoman Middle East. The League of Nations placed the imprimatur of protection of the Arab Middle East which was divided arbitrarily into British and French spheres of influence called Mandates. The Palestine Mandate was carved out and there was a lot of lobbying to create a homeland for Jews to return to their ancestral homeland: hence the Balfour Declaration toward that end.
Jews had lived in the Levant even under Ottoman rule. After the Balfour Declaration, European Jews began slowly to immigrate to the Palestine Mandate. In the early 1900’s the Arabs that lived in the area could care less about Jewish immigration. The land was considered economically useless.
Jewish ingenuity sparked from Western learning devised ways to make agriculturally usable and economically productive. Even at this early point the Arabs were somewhat happy about the Jewish productivity for it provided employment for Arabs. Indeed the economic boom that came to the former Ottoman holdings enticed Arabs in the Middle East to immigrate to the area for better paying jobs.
Eventually the Arabs that had been under the Ottoman Turk thumb for so many generations began to resent foreign management by Britain and France. The Arabs did not foresee merely switching overlords from Ottoman Turks to the British and the French. Naturally this disgruntlement began to lead to a sense of nationalism. There has always been a Pan-Arab dream of the old glory days; however the Arab Middle East had been carved up according League of Nations (i.e. European) colonialism. There was not one unifying figure for a Pan-Arab nation and I am certain the British and the French would not view such an expansive single State to their national interest. Thus the Arab nationalism fell to tribal or clan families to assert dominance in the European arbitrary borders drawn up for the Arab Middle East.
Naturally the Arabs of the Palestine Mandate became nationalistic as well. This nationalism began to lead toward a dislike of the growing Jewish presence in the Jewish ancestral homeland. This Arab nationalism influenced the British to change their mind a bit on the existence of a Jewish homeland in the face of hostile Arab nationalism.
Indeed the Arab nationalism in the Palestine Mandate began to be belligerent when fellows like the Egyptian born Grand Mufti of Jerusalem began sowing Jew hatred into the Palestine Mandate Arabs.
Unfortunately for the racist Islamic Supremacist Grand Mufti al Husseini, the Jews were a large enough part of the Palestine Mandate population to not be intimidated by hate-speech and anti-Semitism that Jews had been acquainted with for thousands of years anyway.
The more hostile the al-Husseini Muslim-Arabs were to the Jews, the more the Jews pushed back against the Arabs.
The British began to realize they were in an untenable situation that no matter what the Brits did, neither Jewish nor Arab would be a happy camper.
The British solution: Figure out a way to get out of dodge.
The British problem: The Palestine Mandate was an international Trust the British had accepted for capitalistic reasons but were stuck for the responsibility when internecine nationalism became unprofitable for the British National Interests.
About the time the British would have laid this problem on to the International Body of the League of Nations, the League became irrelevant with the growing militarism of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan.
The British were stuck with administering the British Mandate as WWII overtook them.
Re-enter Grand Mufti al-Husseini who conspired with his Jew-hating favorite kafir Adolf Hitler to exterminate Jews in the British Mandate Palestine.
With American help the British defeated Nazi Germany and thus ended al-Husseini’s dream of Nazi aid to exterminate the Jews. The British were exhausted from two world wars in the same century. If they wanted to ditch the Palestine Mandate prior to WWII, it was a must from war weariness to do so now.
Enter another International Body from the ashes of WWII – the United Nations.
The U.N. devised a Two-State plan that would divide the Palestine Mandate into a Jewish and Arab nation. Transjordan was to be the Arab division and I am guessing the name Palestine was thought to be the name of the Jewish division. The thing is the Jews were going to be somewhat short changed in land with this new division that would make Jerusalem an international city belonging to neither Israel nor the Arabs.
The time came and the British finally said, “We’re outta here.”
The relatively new Arab sovereign nations had warned that when the British left they intended to retake all of Palestine for the Arabs.
The Jews who had been developing a military infrastructure with illegal militias that participated in a tit-for-tat terrorist activity with the Arabs were able to toss enough rivalry to form a united force when Israel declared the name of their nation to Israel in 1948.
Five invading Arab armies and Arab participants from the former Palestine Mandate made their move to drive Israel into the sea. Arabs in the new Israel began to leave out of fear of war between Jews and Arabs. There was even a call to get out so the Arab armies could have their usual version of Muslim bloodlust that followed classical Muslim invaders. Also there was a bit of fear of reprisal from Jews if Arab citizen were caught in the cross fire between Jewish and Arab armies.
These fleeing Arabs became the foundation of the Arab refugees who at first were stranded in land under the authority of Arab Jordan (formerly Transjordan) – West Bank - and Egypt - Gaza.
The invading Armies refused to take in the refugees they caused to exist. Indeed they had a motive for establishing refugee camps and labeling the inhabitants Palestinians. That motive was to have a perpetual excuse to invade Israel when Arabs viewed themselves strong enough to terminate the little sliver of land known as Israel.
With the aid of Jew-hating secularist Arabs and an emerging radical Islam, those Arab refugees were inundated with hate propaganda toward Jews to the point that jihad style martyrdom (i.e. homicidal suicide) became a point of honor for the individual and a source of pride to the martyr’s family.
And now President Barack Hussein Obama, American politicians and State Department employees, European nations and Arab nations that can’t stand to have even a sliver of a dar al-harb in their midst; are demanding a sovereign State of Palestine who do not recognize the right of a Jewish State to exist.
Does that make any sense?
Andrew Whitehead of Anti-CAIR is drumming up support to oppose the insanity of creating a Palestinian State.

News & Analysis

According to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) world fact book, the State of Israel occupies a total of 20,770 square kilometers which includes 440 sq km of water. To put this in perspective, the entire country of Israel is smaller than the US state of New Jersey.
The total population of Israel is listed as 7,233,701; this includes non-Jewish Arabs whom are Israeli citizens. Israel is 76.4% Jewish with a minority of Muslims (16%), Arab Christians (1.7%) with “other Christians”, Druze, and unspecified making up the remaining religious groupings.
The government of Israel is a parliamentary democracy with a number of factions making up the Knesset, which includes members who are not only anti-Israel, but anti-Semitic as well.
In short, Israel, excepting its parliamentary form of government, is somewhat a microcosm of the United States; a multi-religious society with a participatory government that includes those dedicated to its destruction from within.
The US president is expected to present a “Peace Speech” in Egypt on June 4. President Obama is expected to announce his support for a “settlement of the Jewish question” by calling on Israel to accept the two state “solution” that will make it impossible for Israel to effectively defend itself. To be blunt, Israel is being asked to commit national suicide first by division into indefensible borders and secondly by massive immigration that will destroy the country from within.
Israel, a country occupying a fraction of the Middle East; a country re-born following the Holocaust; a country that makes a home even for those dedicated to its destruction; is being demanded of by the rest of the world to commit national suicide by dividing itself into two; one side that is expected to live with a false promise of peace and the other that is totally dedicated to destroying the other by any means necessary. Israel must win every war; her numerous enemies only one.
We shall not have peace by any division of Israel; nor will we “solve the Jewish question” by partnering with countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or any other Muslim-majority country in the Middle East. History has proven, time and time again, that political agreements with Muslim-majority countries are not worth the paper they are printed on and that all “agreements” are viewed by Muslim-majority governments as concessions to their religious ideology.
Let us ask the Saudi’s, the Syrians, and the rest of the Muslim world why they accept the presence of refugee camps housing multi-generations of Palestinians; why they refuse to take these refugee’s or provide them any meaningful assistance? Are not the Palestinians their Muslim brothers and sisters? Why do these Muslim countries turn their back on their brethren and demand of the Jews to destroy their country to accommodate those who have absolutely NO RIGHT to Israel?
The next time someone says “Why, Jew?” when the question of Israel arises, turn your back on him. For an American to pose such a question; given our own history with tyranny at our founding; clearly demonstrates a lack of appreciation for our own freedoms, it would be impossible for such a person to understand other people’s right to the same.
President Obama may get his wish for what could lead to the destruction of Israel; but this would only show the world, again, that the United States stands for what is expedient, not for what is right. How many of our allies will continue to trust us if we turn our backs on Israel?
As for me, I stand for a united Israel…from the river to the sea.

Your letter will read as follows:
Dear President Obama,Before putting together the final touches on your anticipated “Peace Speech” expected to be delivered in Egypt on June 4, 2009, I request of you a moment or two, to read what your fellow legislators had to say in the year 1922.
The issue at the time was in respect to the recreation of the Jewish National Home - in the area designated for them by the “Mandate for Palestine," an historical League of Nations document referencing the Jewish legal right to settle anywhere in western Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, an entitlement unaltered in international law.
Mr. President, there has always been a Jewish presence in the land and reducing any land already granted to the Jewish people under international law is an injustice and a grievous handicap to the well-being of the Jewish State.
The Congressional Resolution follows:
The United States Congressional Record
1922 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
National Home for
THE JEWISH PEOPLE JUNE 30, 1922
HOUSE RESOLUTION 360 - UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED
“Palestine of today, the land we now know as Palestine, was peopled by the Jews from the dawn of history until the Roman era. It is the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. They were driven from it by force by the relentless Roman military machine and for centuries prevented from returning. At different periods various alien people succeeded them but the Jewish race had left an indelible impress upon the land.
“Today it is a Jewish country. Every name, every landmark, every monument and every trace of whatever civilization remaining there is still Jewish. And it has ever since remained a hope, a longing, as expressed in their prayers for these nearly 2,000 years. No other people has ever claimed Palestine as their national home. No other people has ever shown an aptitude or indicated a genuine desire to make it their homeland. The land has been ruled by foreigners. Only since the beginning of the modern Zionist effort may it be said that a creative, cultural, and economic force has entered Palestine. The Jewish Nation was forced from its natural home. It did not go because it wanted to.
“A perusal of Jewish history, a reading of Josephus, will convince the most skeptical that the grandest fight that was ever put up against an enemy was put up by the Jew. He never thought of leaving Palestine. But he was driven out. But did he, when driven out, give up his hope of getting back? Jewish history and Jewish literature give the answer to the question. The Jew even has a fast day devoted to the day of destruction of the Jewish homeland.
“Never throughout history did they give up hope of returning there. I am told that 90 per cent of the Jews today are praying for the return of the Jewish people to its own home. The best minds among them believe in the necessity of reestablishing their Jewish land. To my mind there is something prophetic in the fact that during the ages no other nation has taken over Palestine and held it in the sense of a homeland; and there is something providential in the fact that for 1,800 years it has remained in desolation as if waiting for the return of the people."
_____________________
For Israel to make further land concessions for any reason is contrary to the original sentiments of the US Congress. Legally, the State of Israel is mandated and exists. We hope you will acknowledge this affirmation of Israel. We also hope that you will insist that the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League abide by this unanimous judgment of our forefathers recognizing Israel as a Jewish State, beginning with your forthcoming speech in Egypt on June 4th, and continuing throughout future policy statements.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave a campaign reelection speech in Karaj, Iran on Sunday. YnetNews.com reports on the campaign speech. The Ahmadinejad speech definitely is not nice. In fact one should compare this speech with some of the speeches Adolf Hitler made to the German people blaming all the woes of German on the vermin Jews.
Prior to and during Hitler’s rise to power, the power nations that had embraced some form of democracy with Rights as a governmental nature considered Hitler’s words as hyperbole meant to achieve political power at the voting booth of a German constituency.
There exists once again in the time line of history’s progress an anti-Semite who is promoting the destruction of Jews and is trying to get his Iranian constituents to validate his agenda.
That agenda is globally scary. The appeasement process currently uniting the USA and the EU will lead to another global conflict that has the potential to cost even more lives than did WWII. Why? The educating of Middle East Muslims (Sunni and Shia alike) is to promote hatred of Jews.
Mohammedanism when in an act of war can create crazy suicidal warriors with little or no care for life because a death for Allah is an express train to a paradise of 72 nubile virgins ready to be eternally plucked for male sexual gratification. This means as Muslims are trying to execute a Jewish genocide, Muslims will die in the tens of thousands to affect that genocide.

Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf became the foundation document for Nazi extermination of Jews in Europe. Today we know that as the Holocaust.
The last two Durban Conferences on human rights could be the foundation of a United Nations extermination of Jews in the 21st century.
The premise of the two Durban Conferences (One of which actually took place in Durban) was for global dialogue on ways to end racism. In actuality they were conferences on castigating Jewish Israel and singling out the Zionist State as the only racist nation on the planet.
The United Nations is dominated by despotic and/or intolerant Islamic States. If it were not for the actual power of the U.N. residing with a unanimous Security Council, the U.N. would be the lead in establishing a one world government with thugs and dictators attempting to run the globe. If that were to be the case one could expect Ahmadinejad’s deepest wish to exact a Holocaust that makes Hitler’s Holocaust look like a picnic in the park.

Anti-Semitism and Jew hatred have been infecting America’s colleges and universities for some time now. And some of these universities are prominent education centers in America.
You may say, “O my God! Another right wing in the tank for Israel is saying that any criticism of Israel is racist anti-Semitism.”
Even I have to admit the Jewish homeland – the Land of Israel – may have some dented image acts in there past and probably will in their future (unless Iran make’s good on its promise for Islamic nations to drive the Jews into the sea). Nonetheless, the global atrocities perpetrated against Jewish people have been going on at least since the Egypt of the Pharaohs.
Modern Israel was created out of Western power guilt for allowing an Adolf Hitler to exist when he could have been prevented. Appeasement and guilt of too much punishment upon Germany after WWI led the West to look the other way as der Fuhrer rebuilt Germany (which wasn’t bad in itself). Unfortunately some of this rebuilding was accomplished by an egomaniac that believed Germanic people are the Aryan Super Race destined to rule the earth. The offshoot of this Super Race mentality was focused upon six million Jews who died via murder or genocide. Depending on whom you read five or six million other lives were terminated in a genocidal way because they also did not meet the standards of a superior Aryan Race.
Hitler’s Nazi regime paid a special focus to exterminate Jewish people as vermin that were the cause of all that ails or was wrong on planet Earth. Hitler’s loss of WWII revealed to the horrified Western victors (and not so horrified USSR) concentration camps in which those that survived were barely alive followed by the horror of viewing tortured dead Jews that were exterminated in vile ways. Americans treat their dogs better in mercy killing for age or incapacitation.
From the end of WWI until Israeli independence the Levant was adding to the Jews already there who were fleeing anti-Semitism in Europe. The incapable League of Nations placed a considerable amount of the Levant under control of a British Mandate called Palestine. Hello! All who lived in the British Palestinian Mandate were called Palestinians whether they were Jewish, Arab, Muslim or Christian.
Theodore Herzl became appalled on how Jews were treated in Europe in pre-WWI and post WWI. He became the Jewish writer that inspired Zionism and a call for Jews to move back to Palestine. (Although, Jews have lived there even through Muslim conquests; simply a majority of Jews became victims of Roman vengeance and got the boot from their land – it was called the Diaspora.) Herzl’s dream was for a safe place from persecution. Actually other options were considered but it was just way too natural for Jews to go home to Palestine (from Roman Palestina, which was a derivative from Jewish enemies known as Philistines).
At the agitation of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (a former recruiter of Slavic Muslims for the Nazi regime) and Hasan al-Banna (Muslim Brotherhood founder), Islamic Supremacism viewed through dar al-Islam and dar al-Harb began to plant Jew-hatred among the Arabs (Muslims and Christians) of the British Palestinian Mandate. Acerbic vitriol thus increased among the post WWII Muslims toward Jews in Palestine. This is interesting for the Arabs of the Levant and the Middle East were subject to the Turkish Ottoman Empire prior to WWI. The WWI victors carved up Arab lands formerly under Ottoman rule and began to form sovereign nations.
In 1948 the Brits pulled of the Palestinian Mandate. The plan was for the United Nations to follow in the footstep of the defunct League of Nations and partition Palestine into two sovereign nations. One for the Jewish Homeland and one for the now hate infected Arabs.
The sovereign Arab nations previously created by the WWI victors vowed to drive the Jews into the sea for non-Muslims have no right to land that was conquered in the name of Mohammed and his Allah.
Of course we know in 1948 the new State of Israel (a tear drop surrounded by an ocean of Islamic hatred) vanquished five invading Islamic Armies and the Arab-Palestinians that formed poorly trained militias.
Thus began the Muslim propaganda that minuscule Israel was a genocide nation itself practicing a South African form of Apartheid upon the Arabs abandoned by the invading Muslim Armies. Come on folks! The Arab-Muslims created an Arab refugee problem and refused to own to the responsibility of matriculating their stranded brothers into the invading Islamic-Arab nations.
This Middle Eastern Islamic hatred aimed at Jews has slowly seeped back into the West. Slanted Left academia and politicians of the West (i.e. Europe and America) slowly began to accept the propaganda of Jew-hatred forgetting why they allowed a microscopic slice of the Levant to become a Jewish Homeland. That reason is the inexplicable prejudice against Jews that have resulted into a millennia persecution and death culminating with Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust.
I find this infection of Jew-hatred now permeating American colleges and universities to be appalling. The Left oriented academia of America have become enamored by Islamic propaganda now viewing the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians to be the recipients of the most vial racial victimhood that Israel could offer.
IT IS POPPYCOCK!
Israel is a Western style representative democracy that generously tolerates that hatred of their own Arab citizens while spending their entire existence battling non-Israeli Arabs for Israel’s existence as a Jewish haven nation.
Now the Israeli government has often bulldozed the homes of Arabs (in and out of Israel proper) of Islamic terrorist supporting families when an Islamic terrorist perpetrates an act of murderous carnage against civilian Jews. The world cries, “Too harsh!”
Say what!?
Arabs living in the Judea and Samaria (i.e. West Bank) and Gaza have been bombarded religiously that the only good Jew is a dead Jew. These Arabs actively support if not participated in acts of terrorism against Israeli Jews because of generations of hate implantation. AND WHAT? The Western academia only wants Israel to wag their fingers and say, “Bad Muslim terrorist, you should know better. You are from a religion of peace.”
Do you know there is an “Israel Apartheid Week” going on at Canadian and American schools of higher learning? The purpose of this week is to bring Jew-hating Muslims and Jew-hating Leftists to rant of Arab victimhood with half-truths and downright lies.
Read the Israpundit essay on the insidious North American academia allowing anti-Israel smack while simultaneously making every effort to prevent the Jewish/Israel version.
