With the election of two Muslim congresswomen, one of which is Palestinian, Israel as the oppressor is a front and center topic.
Most of all the world loves to read about a Jew bashing Israel. Al Jazeera routinely uses Jewish writers for that purpose. They're not that hard to find, the far left and Jews go together, like pastrami and rye bread. They portray themselves as progressive and anti-zionists.
Over the years, the Morning Call has featured numerous anti-Israel columns. While the writers change, the tradition continued. The letters are often signed at the end associating the writer with some organization that sounds sincere about peace, but in reality, is anti-Israel.
Israel is low-hanging fruit. Jews have been portrayed as greedy for two thousand years, so why shouldn't they also be land grabbers?
In reality, Israel is eager for a sincere partner in peace. Their withdrawal from Gaza was only met with the election of Hamas, and its dedication to Israel's destruction. By the way, that's not Tel Aviv shown above, but Gaza City.
I think no comments yet means MM is spot on.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who has been paying attention can see that the progressives have deserted Israel in favor of the Muslim agenda. It may be that the Jews will be the last to come to that realization.
ReplyDeleteI agree with josh.
ReplyDeleteIt's well documented that a great many German people during the 1920s and even into the early 1930s - including some of those who just so happened to be of the Jewish faith - simply could not or would not allow themselves to take an aspiring and 'upwardly mobile' Nazi politician named Adolf Hitler at his word. This despite the fact that this Hitler guy had even taken the time and energy to publish an entire book which pretty much went over his particular agenda in rather extensive detail. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party has been virtue signaling its Anti-Israel / Pro-Palestine sentiments for decades and decades; furthermore, there is little doubt that the career track record of Jihadi Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from Minnesota has already proven that she is quite the open book.
ReplyDeleteOmar's history of prior statements and associations are astonishing.
I agree with Mr. Nemeth.
It is all a matter of how you want to view it and how you want to internalize it. I see these Israeli peace movements as great youthful voices for peace with all their neighbors. They will inherit the future and so will like mentalities on the other side. Both sides have to begin to soften to see enough of the other side's desires. I have always told you that I see a great economic and cultural awakening that could have these people working and socializing together in societies of prosperity. Israel has to be tough and careful, I appreciate that need for absolute clarity, but perhaps just a tiny bit of trust might break the ice in some important quarters. In the meantime, the current leadership in Israel is too far to the right -- you can't get rid of radicals by being radical. Strong statesmanship is needed; I don't know when that will come along from the U.S. but we have now is woefully inept on all Middle East issues.
