Antisemitism is a deep-seated hatred of Jews. Facts don’t stand a chance against this ancient, visceral emotion.
The attack against Jews in front of a synagogue in Los Angeles has been well-documented. I always stand in amazement how much Jew-haters need to justify their actions instead of just saying that they hate Jews and want to kill them. A few days after the melee, I heard the most disingenuous explanation as to why the pro-Hamas crowd attacked Jews in the City of Angels. There was a seminar at the Adas Torah synagogue on how to invest in real estate in Israel. Since Israel had “stolen” Palestinian land and gotten rid of its legitimate owners, it was now giving advice on how to make money on this pirated land. Did you get all of that? A simple real estate seminar trying to explain the ins and outs of trying to make money in Israel’s crazy real estate market was now transmogrified into a secret seminar on how to fence stolen property. Again, everyone needs to sleep, and these lovers of rapists and child decapitators had to come up with this contortion to justify their pummeling Jews in a very Jewish neighborhood of LA.
Jew hatred or in its more sterilized name, antisemitism, is a deep-seated revulsion of Jews. The reasons can be no reason at all to religious issues or feeling that the Jews are too rich or Israel is evil, etc. Our son just came back from Cyprus. Turkey a more than a third of Cyprus and has held it for 50 years. Have you heard anyone on campus screaming that Turkey must get out of northern Cyprus? Any recent UN resolutions that I missed? Of course not. Jew-hatred is the starting point and the next stop is to retroactively find supposed reasons—again, to allow for a clean conscience—for hating Israel and/or the Jews. But let’s look at Israel: what is the Jewish claim to the Jewish state?
One could certainly start with ancient times. A religious person would point to the holy texts that explicitly describe the sons and daughters of Abraham entering the Land of Israel and conquering it, holding it and eventually losing it. But let’s say that one does not buy into the religious texts. Well, there are historical documents such as the writings of Josephus on the destruction of the ancient kingdom of Israel, the sacking of Jerusalem, the destruction of the Temple and the taking of the Jews back to Rome. The images of the menorah and conquered Jews on the Titus Arch in Rome would sum it all up pretty well. So, the Jews have a very long relationship with the land where the state of Israel sits today. Additionally, a large number of archaeological finds of clear Jewish association (Hebrew stamps, menorahs on coins, religious documents) show Jewish presence in what today is modern Israel. Many such items have been found in and around the City of David in Jerusalem.
But let’s say that one does not buy into the old stuff at all. Since the 19th century, Jews have been coming, sometimes a few and at other times en masse, to the holy land. They purchased land for kibbutzim, moshavim, towns and cities. I had a cousin who came to Mandate Palestine from Germany in 1933. He said that Tel Aviv was one big sand dune; today, it is a beautiful, boisterous, busy metropolis. The house in which we live sits on land that my wife’s grandfather bought from a local Arab. Everything is recorded in the official registrar’s records. And just as he bought land sold willingly by an Arab seller, so too for over 150 years and up until today, Arabs have sold land to Jewish buyers. Something not well known is that in the Palestinian Authority (PA), it is illegal to sell land to a Jew. Some Palestinian Arabs have been killed for doing exactly the same.
Beyond purchase, Israel acquired its land through war—just as countries throughout history have done so. Much of the US sits on land that was taken through war with Indians or others. While the Louisiana Purchase was consummated with France, how did the French take control of the large tracts of lands sold to a very young United States? I had an outstanding young professor of history at Harvard. He showed how of the 720,000 Palestinian Arabs who fled their homes during the 1948 War of Independence, half were encouraged by surrounding Arab armies to temporarily leave in order to allow the armies to fight the Jews, while the other half were driven out when the winning Jewish armies saw that victory was within their grasp. In all previous and later cases, refugees were only those who left their homes under duress. My parents were German refugees; my brother and I were not. But somehow there are millions of Palestinian “refugees” while the number of people who actually left their homes in Lod, Haifa, Tsfat, etc. in 1948 no doubt is in the few thousands.
So if you don’t buy into the historical connection of the Jews or their purchasing land, then one can go by warfare. Think of all of the countries that exist today either through violent revolution (the US, France, Russia, Iran, etc.) or warfare. Many countries in Europe were created by the break-up of the Austria-Hungarian empire. Nobody calls those nations illegal or demands that they be wiped off of the face of the Earth.
Jew hatred from time immemorial has been a deep-seated feeling against the Jewish people. Remember that Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the 10/7 pogrom, had a brain tumor removed by a Jewish doctor. This act had no impact on his hatred of Jews, and I recently saw a headline that the nephew of said doctor was killed by Sinwar’s Hamas on 10/7. So let the Hamas-lovers of southern California come up with reasons to attack and beat Jews. The truth is that their hatred is built-in and needs no actual reason to bring it to the fore. They attempt to justify their violent actions, but even if the Jews did nothing but come to that same synagogue to pray, they would have been beaten up.
Israel is as legitimate a state as any other, including North and South Korea, invented out of agreements between Stalin and Truman. Vietnam is a single country due to the North’s victory over the South and its supporter, the US. Those who delegitimize Israel are frauds and simply wish to justify their white-hot hatred of Jews and all things Jewish.
Remember: your house probably sits on land that a long, long time ago belonged to some Indian tribe. If you don’t put the Hamas lovers in their place today, they’ll be knocking on your door sometime soon.
The ancient word for these haters is amalek.
The modern translation of the word amalek is n……
I call them Philistines. A philistine attitude is an attitude of anti-intellectualism that undervalues or despises art, beauty, spirituality, and intellect. A person with a philistine attitude is guided by materialism and disdainful of intellectual or artistic values. A philistine is often used as a derogatory term to describe someone who is uncultured, narrow-minded, or hostile to the life of the mind…
The word Palestinian wasn’t even coined until 1966…
By Yasser Arafat…
It is not surprising that some Arabs have been killed for selling land to Jews since both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, led by Holocaust Denier and “moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas” make sale of land to Jews a capital offense. Moreover, aside from hostages seized on October 7th, most of whom have been killed, raped or tortured, the “Palestinians” insist that every square meter of land they control be “judenrein”. In constrast, 20% of Israel’s population is Arab and more Arabs live their than in 1948.
When the “Palestinians” and their apologists speak of “Apartheid” and “genocide” they are merely signaling their own intentions and dreams.
“DEATH TO HAMAS”
God Bless Israel.
“Remember: your house probably sits on land that a long, long time ago belonged to some Indian tribe.”
My house sits on land once occupied by the Apache nation. I’m still waiting for some wide eyed leftist freak to start lecturing me about colonizing and stolen land. Geronimo, can you hear me?
I wonder which tribe “owned” the land the Apaches claimed…I wonder if the Apaches attacked them and took the land?
We already know the Indians were not exactly angels. Land grabs, kidnapping, wars, etc.
I can’t be sure but I would bet the Apaches and the Navajoe (up the road a piece), probably were at each other’s throats
The Apaches, Navajo, Comanches and Utes were all attacking, stealing from, and making slaves of the Pueblo tribes that were already in the SW when these others moved in.
This article ignores the 800 pound gorilla in the room… that this Jew hatred is rooted in Islam. This false religion is a cancer that has caused the death of millions by virtue of Muslim occupation of surrounding nations. The State of Israel represents just 2% of the land in the Middle East. The remaining 98% is occupied by Muslim nations, yet they fee entitled to occupy everything.
Yes Israel is only 60 miles across and islamic countries stretch 6,000 miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The muslims are the colonizers by the sword, now in America, and they’ve got American youth calling the Jews colonizers. Twisted. Mohamed had a Jewish man beheaded so he could steal his wife.
“Palestine” is occupied. The Arabs need to get off of the Land of Israel and go home to Arabia.
Yes and Israel just blew the perfect opportunity to evict them.
allah is a fake god… once called Baal…
If you know the story of Elijah and Baal… you know this fake god now with the name of allah… you know false god worship is satanic !!!
The fake god Baal goes back to the days of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel…
The day will come… when the False Prophet… a fake Christian will stand with the Antichrist on the Temple Mount… and offer prayers up to their false god…
If you understand the Temple Mount… NO ONE can do any worshiping to any god other than the fake god allah on the Temple Mount…
allah = Baal
BEWARE !!!
***snore*** ***snore***
Oh my… who knew how much you knew about Bible Prophecy… considering… you never heard of the Rapture at one time…
Get a life Intrepid… you hardly have anything of value to say… you narcissist…
“DEATH TO HAMAS”
God Bless Israel.
That any of this may come as a surprise to anyone is what surprises me, After 2,000+ years of pogroms and other violence against us, why is anyone surprised?
