Blame
Jews for Everything!
by
Steven Shamrak.
Throughout history, Jews have been blamed
for almost everything. We were responsible for the Black Death during the Dark
Ages and responsible for the exploitation of working classes by Capitalist
society and spreading the ideals of Communism around the world. Jews were slave
traders and were fighting against slavery; we are branded as Imperialists and
human rights activists; we destroyed the rule of Tsar in Russia and created and
obliterated, 70 years later, the Soviet Union. We are Anarchists and
Socialists, Hippies, gay and women’s right’s activists, as well as
neo-Conservatives!
All this stupidity began after a Jewish
guy, Jesus, started preaching a basic Jewish law – LOVE - for fellow human
beings! Several hundred later his followers, with the blessing of a Roman
Emperor, alleged that Jews are responsible for his death. After two thousand
years most people, mainly Christians, still have not asked or even want to know
about the facts. Crucifixion was the Roman way of punishment of ‘criminals’,
people who opposed the brutal Roman occupation and Judea and Samaria were the
hot spots of resistance to the Roman Empire. It is only after the Rome adopted
the Christianity that Jews were blamed for the killing of the Jewish guy. After
all, the Romans and the early Church could not admit killing their own chosen
god!
There used to be a saying in the Soviet
Union: “If there is no water in a tap, it must be Jews who have drunk it all” –
in a word, that means, blame Jews for everything! Paranoid accusations and
anti-Semitic propaganda that Jews are in control of the world have now spread
from the Christian to the Muslim world. This technique has always been
used by kings, dictators and even by democratically elected governments to
control and divert the attention of the mob, sorry population, from the
problems that a kingdom or country has been experiencing and their true causes.
We have even been accused of using the blood of Christian children in
preparation of Matzos for Passover, with complete disregard for the fact that
the Torah explicitly forbids Jews from using or eating any blood in food.
Jews have persistently been used as the
most effective scapegoat! Some say: “If there were no Jews, they would be
invented.”
If all these innuendoes that a nation,
which numbers less than 0.2% of world population, has so much power over all
Humanity are true, Jews must be really the Chosen people! Therefore, it would
be a clear sign to any Christian or Muslim person, who believes in the Jewish
teachings, as the Christian Bible and Koran claim, that they must worship Jews
and allow us to gain full ownership of all Jewish land. Otherwise, they are not
true believers! But we do not ask for any of this. The only request we have is:
please leave as alone and let us live in peace on our land, Eretz-Israel!
And finally, I wonder if Jews are so
powerful and such a world-controlling nation, as our ‘admirers’ say, why aren’t
we yet, almost 60 years after declaration of independence of Israel, in
complete control of the land of our ancestors? Furthermore, all of us must ask:
what a low level of self-esteem and/or heightened hate for Jews those idiots,
who blame Jews for everything, have? Aren’t they able to do anything
significant at all, good or bad, on their own? At the same time, I sincerely
wish that they were right!
In four days, 165 Qassam, 76 mortar rounds
and one Katyusha rocket against Israeli civilians were fired from Gaza. – In response
Israeli Air Force bombed empty, as usual, Hamas interior ministry in Gaza. It
is not the way to end terror!
Food
for Thought. by Steven Shamrak
Jews have been
told for almost 2 millennia that there is something wrong with us. We need time
and new victories to change this belief, to shift from self-hate to
self-respect and self-appreciation! Having a decent leadership and clear
National goal would help.
Olmert’s
Non-committal War. “We don’t seek to fight in
the Gaza Strip,” Olmert said, “but neither will we put up with these attacks.
We will continue to target the terrorists with wisdom and boldness.” Olmert
stressed there is no magic formula for stopping every missile. (He just does not want to see or look for it! By fighting
only the symptoms one cannot defeat disease!)
PA: No Agreements on 'Give and Take'. The Palestinian
Authority cannot negotiate compromises with Israel and will cut off talks if
the IDF does not halt its attacks on terrorists in Gaza and stop Jewish
communities from being built, PA negotiator Saeb Erekat said Thursday. (No commitment
to end terror attacks and recognise Israel! Since the signing the Oslo
agreement Israel gives but the Arabs only take!)
Dead Terrorists – No Strategic Gain. MK Yuval Steinitz (Likud) reacted to the news that
the IDF has killed 1,000 terrorists in Gaza in the past two years by saying
that this was only a limited achievement. "There is no strategic
achievement here. There is a limited tactical effect on the other side." (With no goal for ending Arab occupation and
re-unification of all Jewish land the conflict will flourish endlessly!)
Misguided Objective. President George W. Bush gave Israel the nod for its
long-delayed military operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. (Why would Israel need permission to defend herself?)
The US president, Israeli Prime minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian leader
Mahmoud Abbas agreed that the Israeli operation’s prime objective must be to
purge the Gaza Strip of Hamas strength in order to hand it over to the PA. (…from one terrorist entity to another! This is a
conspiracy to prolong the Arab-Israel conflict! Ending an occupation of Jewish
land by Arabs is the only way to cease this conflict. Removal of all enemy
population from Gaza would be a good first step of the new peace process.)
Quote
of the Week:
"They
(Jews) will no longer be uprooted from this land that I have given" - Prophet Amos. - Jewish Olmert and born again Christian
president Bush do not know their own bible!
Stupidity of Inaction. The Israeli government told the court that it is
unable to decide how to protect Sderot from rocket attacks at this
time. Terrorists are using rockets with longer ranges, and more cities are
coming under attack, officials explained, so whatever the government does in
Sderot will set a precedent. The government cannot afford to provide
protective shielding for larger cities. (The best
protection for Sderot and other cities from Qassam and Katusha rockets would be
re-unification of Gaza, cleared of its terror-infested Arab population, with
Israel! For that politicians must have love for their own country, integrity
and guts!)
Israeli Arabs – Enemy Within. An Israeli Arab
group called Ahrar al-Jalil (Free People of the Galilee) claims it attempted to
bomb Jewish cars in Haifa and near the Harish Junction. The group said it would
continue to attack Israelis within Israel’s 1948 borders.
Another ‘Friendly’ Gesture from Bush. The U.S. announced its intention to
sell Saudi Arabia 900 JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munitions) laser-guided bombs.
Israel has warned that if a fundamentalist rebellion takes place in Saudi
Arabia, any technology it possesses could fall into the hands of terrorists.
Iranian-Made
Rocket Hit.
The origins of the rocket, which hit the Israeli town of Ashkelon on Jan. 3 was
made in Iran. This is clear indication of ties between Gaza's militants and
Iran's hard-line Islamic regime.
Democracy
in Israel?
by
Aaron Kinsberg.
As
a former high school history teacher, I always began the unit on the American
Bill of Rights with the question, "If all rights were eliminated, which is
the one to preserve?" I would be pleasantly surprised when students
answered "The Right to Free Speech and Peaceful Protest because without
these, all other rights would be lost. But with these, other rights can be
obtained and protected."
In
Israel a dangerous trend has developed that threatens Israel's future as a true
democracy. The Olmert government has attempted to limit Freedom of Speech and
the Right to Peacefully Assemble by those in the Jewish nationalist camp
opposed to Olmert's policies. Opponents might be harassed, charged with
incitement or accused of racism.
Questions
must be raised when, during Bush's visit, 4 adults were prevented from giving
out literature to journalists and had their literature confiscated under the
excuse of "Possible Incitement". One was temporarily taken into
custody. There is a problem when Tzvi Fishman was arrested for wearing an
American flag at a peaceful demonstration, accused of "disturbing the
peace". Without provocation, the arresting officer lunged at Mr. Fishman,
grabbed his hat and pulled his hair.
During
the Gush Katif Expulsion, when a top police officer said that excessive force
should be used, and when police use excessive force even at non-violent
demonstrations, there is a problem.
When
under aged girls are arrested for a political act and they are kept in jail
longer than criminals awaiting trial, there is a problem.
When
a nationalist radio (Arutz7) is refused a license and is forced off the air,
but pirate stations, who do not criticize the Prime Minister and the government
are left alone, there is a problem.
When
Israeli Arab groups urging secession from Israel and Leftist groups (e.g.
Machsom Watch) get a free pass, questions must be raised about the selective
use of laws of incitement as a tool of political oppression.
In
true democracies, civil rights groups, the media and the courts act to protect
these rights and move to prevent abuses by the government. However, when these
three institutions become politicized, the government can act with impunity. I
wonder if my above views violate the government's guideline on incitement.
