Many deem history to be a cruel mistress for many do not learn
from history...mistakes continue to be made and lessons remain
unlearned...both personal mistakes and lessons and that of ones
country.
And now as history again unfolds in the seemingly unending war
between good and evil...Israel on the side of good and Hamas most
especially on the side of evil... we here in the United States, and in
many countries around the world, are bearing witness to anti-Semitism
again rearing its ugly head.
Shows of anti-Semitism against the Jewish people in general
coupled with pure hatred for the Jewish State of Israel is now all
too commonplace on America's streets and on college and university
campuses. Egged on by some in our Halls of Congress, the media itself
helps spread the hate by giving these overtly antisemitic sorts even
an iota of airtime by which to promote their hate. But something else
noticed...at least by me...is that when anti-Semitism is in the
forefront cries of self-perceived racism and inequality against
blacks just seems to melt into the background of the 24/7 news cycle.
Now being replaced by words like “communists,”
“elitists,” and
“globalists ”...the
no longer veiled antisemitic “code
words” for Jews in
general and successful, accomplished, and wealthy Jews
specifically...has taken over the public discourse.
Simply, some here in our country are once again, via their hateful
uncalled for words and actions, helping to divide us from within, and
the only one that will bear the scars is our beloved America herself
as extremism is again born and thriving courtesy of
“selective
hate”...hate that will destroy us way before the
“enemies
from without” ever get a chance to.
And while there has always been a smoldering hatred...or should I
say jealously...of the Jewish people here in our country by both the
extreme right and the extreme left, the October 7th inhumane and
savage attack by Hamas on innocent Israeli civilians...women and
children especially...has brought what was smoldering to the surface.
Jews were and still are the intended victims and victims do have a
right to fight back. And while some cry for the Palestinians lost in
Israel's rightful retaliation...especially the anything but innocent
Palestinian children...there really is no need to cry for any of them
because said children are but the next generation of indoctrinated
Jew-hating terrorists in waiting, and their parents still unwavering
Hamas supporters.
The now war between Israel and Hamas will be settled by Israel alone,
only the specific timeline remains unknown. Hamas nor their
“string
pullers” in Iran are any match for the military might of Israel, and
her arsenal of weapons. And if pushed too far Israel...as in Benjamin
Netanyahu... will surely do what needs to be done for both Israel and for the Jewish people to survive. Simply, both
will survive because both must survive...that is a given...for even
Iran has to know that while their driving force is hate, the need for
survival itself trumps hate almost every time. History has shown that
to be true more times than not for in the end it really does seem
that good tends to triumph over evil.
But ultimate triumph does not mean the battle will be easy nor
that casualties will be light for when one is fighting an enemy who
does not know what it is to “value life,” innocent blood
will be spilled and will flow in the streets to stain the hands of
many. A tangible reality of war that should strike fear in the hearts
of Israel's enemies, for without the valuing of life itself the cause
one was fighting for remains unjust. Hamas has yet to learn this
while Israel has known this...as have the Jewish people...for longer
a time than many.
The Jewish people, throughout all of history,
have been persecuted and victimized more than any other group of
people. In fact, black slavery and its aftermath does not even
compare in scoop to what the Jewish people have faced.*
Briefly, from the time of their
“bondage”
in Egypt...which started about 300 years before the time of
Moses...to the time of the Roman Empire, Jews were enslaved even while unrest and attempts at freedom were
not uncommon. But unrest only goes so far, and when Masada fell in 73
AD the Romans expelled the Jews from what was then called Judea, thus
starting what is known as the “diaspora.”** And yet the
Jewish people continued to survive no matter the hatred, brutalities,
and actions taken against them in the lands they were now forced to
call home. Also, throughout the early years of Christianity the Jewish
people were persecuted, faced expulsion, were slaves in many nations,
and were massacred in vast numbers during the Crusades.
And with what became known as anti-Semitism taking hold throughout
the Middle Ages, the massacres of Jews increased as the call for
“blood libel”*** grew. Convert or die was the only option
given as the Church grew more powerful in their hate. And with the
Spanish Inquisition in 1480, the massacres and expulsions of Jews
continuing on as did the hatred and fear of them. And when Jewish
folks started emigrating to America, a degree of anti-Semitism
started taking hold in our country as well.
And all this led up to something no black person has (thankfully)
had to experience...as in the “Holocaust”... where
six million Jews were simply “exterminated” for no other
reason than they were Jews.
But why as a people are the Jewish
people so hated even today? Beyond the obvious holdover that the Jews
killed Jesus...they did not as the Romans and Pontius Pilate
did...many are jealous of Jewish success...success due mostly to Jews
stressing the importance of intact families, the importance of
education, and of course hard work...a cultural pattern that defines
Judaism as a whole. But when there's trouble in the Middle East,
especially when it involves Israel, anti-Semitism again tends to rear
its ugly head. And here in the U.S. the sad fact is that while Jews
make up only 2.4% of the American population, they are the victims of
60% of all religious-based hate crimes...and that number is now
growing.
Growing, thanks to the hateful
rhetoric of some in Congress and certain groups on today's major
collage and university campuses...campuses like Harvard where 34
Harvard University student organizations recently signed a statement
that they, “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all
unfolding violence,” and that Israel's “apartheid regime
is the only one to blame.” Simply, I know Israel is not to
blame as much as I know that the hate perpetrated against both the
Jewish people and Israel herself, are today's tangible realities. And
when hate turns into fear...fear that many Jews now face on a daily
basis...it becomes fear not seen since the days of the
Holocaust...fear that “Never Again” will indeed happen
again.
And while many nations have vowed
“Never Again”...for
most it's proven to be but politically correct lip service at
best...as anti-Semitism continues to grow worldwide. In fact, to one
degree or another the hate has never really stopped. And yet many
continue to cry over a useless, terrorist supporting people whose own
blood brethren don't want to take into their countries. They know who
and what these people are...a people whose children have been
indoctrinated solely to hate...a people who bred and still breed the
next generation of terrorists...a people who cheered Hamas' savagery when they returned to Gaza with both brutalized victims to display and hostages taken. These are the very people the world is
crying over...so it now seems. And how sad is to see that those who
made the
“desert bloom” are deemed the
“bad guys” while
those relishing in killing are the ones to be pitied.
Israel is the only country in the world that warns enemy civilians
to get out of harms way many days before harm is inflicted, while the
enemy that is Hamas kills their own people who try to heed those
warnings. Hamas is the only one who places rocket launchers and
munitions inside and next to schools and hospitals while using their
own people as
“human shields,” thus deeming their own
cowardly and miserable lives to be more important than that of their fellow
so-called Palestinians. And yet again, these are the people who many in our country are crying for while shedding not a
tear for Israeli babies beheaded and burnt alive, not a tear for
whole families slaughtered nor for the atrocities committed on their
person both before and after death. These are the forgotten Israeli
victims whose only peace comes in the fact that they no longer have
to witness a world gone mad, and
whose
unspeakable deaths, for some, are but media generated propaganda and
fodder that they want you to believe never happened.
These
are the people whose deaths, in my opinion, sees Barack Obama's hands stained with their blood as well. How so? Obama knew what the outcome would be when as president, his Iranian
nuclear deal emboldened Iran into becoming a terrorist supplying
powerhouse. Also, by then putting the hoped for normalization
between Israel and moderate Arab states in jeopardy, Hamas was able
to become Iran's “annihilate
Israel”
proxy army of sorts. And while Obama's goal has always been to see
“political
islam”
becoming the dominant force in the Middle East...which would then
allow the “Levant”
to come to fruition...it should come as no surprise that he recently
stated,“Both
sides are to blame for the Israel-Hamas conflict and nobody’s hands
are clean.”
Really Obama, sticking up for
your brethren yet again it seems while urging Americans to “take
in the whole truth.”
Well, here's some truth for you Obama and for those of your ilk...if
you had not emboldened Iran...and hence terrorists everywhere...with
your aforementioned Iranian nuclear deal; if you had not pushed for a
two state solution knowing well that what you called Palestine as a
muslim homeland never existed; if you had not stabbed Israel and
Prime Minister Netanyahu in the back every chance you had...Hamas
would not have become as strong as it now is, and Iran would have
better been kept in check.
But no matter the misplaced
insanity of some wanting evil to triumph over good, the fact remains
that Israel and the Jewish people will not only survive but thrive.
And why.. . because the Jewish people were God's chosen people who have
well proven themselves to be survivors. And when those out to destroy
what has become the very driving force that is survival...a force
deeply ingrained within Jewish blood... they not the Jewish people
nor Israel, will find themselves to be the losers in the end. Case
closed.
