Introducing Oldschool26

Our friend oldschool has launched a new blog to discuss matters I-P and other political issues.

Below is school's opening post and this is his blog's URL:

http://oldschooltwentysix.blogspot.com/

Although school and I differ somewhat in our takes on the issues, he has been generally supportive of this blog which is not necessarily an easy thing to do.

So go visit school and be supportive of his blog.

Cheers!

Welcome

Time to get started. This is the first post. I'll start here writing for myself. It will be interesting to see what I say and decide to include as relevant. If any one stumbles by, I hope you find something worthwhile.

I suppose the theme here evolves the variants of persecution and antisemitism, Christian and Muslim, and how they affect the Jewish People, who constitute the smallest fraction yet cannot escape the attention, and Israel, which garners similar attention in the international community.

The action, of course, occurs in the Middle East in the Arab-Israeli conflict. There is no pretense here. The rage from all sides is out in the open. Israel is surrounded by regimes in which it is and has been the norm to portray Jews, despite their minority status, in negative, demonizing ways.

The action occurs in Europe as well, where demographic changes and resulting social upheaval have taken place. To a lesser extent it involves the USA.

Also included are a Western elite, guided by rigid anti-Western ideology and adherence to multiculturalism. This is largely what was taught as they rose through the academic and social ranks, anointing themselves as the moral conscience to define humanitarianism and what constitutes dignity. The underlying political and ideological nature of the approach taken, however, can become downright authoritarian and enhance violations of very important human rights and universal values set forth in international and domestic law. They bring Orwell into mind.

Anyway, if all that did not provide a clue of where this blog may go, what can I say?

That is not to say that other matters will be absent either, if the mood strikes.

Peace.

Barack Obama on the so-called "Arab Spring" (May 19, 2011):

"There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. In America, think of the defiance of those patriots in Boston who refused to pay taxes to a King, or the dignity of Rosa Parks as she sat courageously in her seat."

The "Arab Spring" was the brutal rise of political Islam in the Middle East and this is what Obama compares the Civil Rights Movement to?

How's that for a kick in the head to Martin Luther King, Jr.?

The Fundamental Argument:

The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.

Such venues include political journals, such as, but not limited to, Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, and the UK Guardian, numerous universities throughout the United States and Europe, various NGOs with an anti-Israel agenda, and the entire progressive-left movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish people of the state of Israel.

These venues and organizations do not generally criticize Israel, but dehumanize that country.

For this reason, among others, the progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, undermines the well-being and safety of Jews around the world, sometimes resulting in violence toward us.

Therefore, as a matter of common sense and basic human decency, Jews should leave the progressive movement and the Democratic Party as we seek to build alternative political structures that are not home to toxic anti-Semitic anti-Zionists, who would see us robbed of self-determination and self-defense.

What You Can't Discuss:

This is a partial list of taboo topics within progressive-left venues around the Arab-Israel conflict. You cannot discuss this material because it undermines the "Palestinian narrative" of perpetual victimhood. This narrative is a club used by the Arab and Muslim enemies of Israel, along with their western progressive allies, to delegitimize that country in preparation for its eventual dissolution.

1) The centuries of Jewish dhimmitude under the boot of Islamic imperialism.

2) The recent construction of Palestinian identity, its connection to Soviet Cold War politics, and how this is an Arab people with a Roman name that refers to Greeks.

3) Arab and Palestinian Koranically-based racism as the fundamental source of the conflict.

4) The ways in which contemporary progressive anti-Zionism serves as a cloak for gross anti-Semitism.

5) The Palestinian theft and appropriation of Jewish history.

6) "Pallywood."

7) The historical connections between the Nazis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Palestinian national movement.

8) The perpetual refusal of the Palestinian-Arabs to accept a state for themselves in peace next to the Jewish one.

9) The progressive portrayal of terrorists as those fighting a righteous war of "resistance."

10) The Arab-Palestinian indoctrination of children with Jew hatred.

11) Human rights violations against women, children, and Gay people in the Muslim Middle East.

12) The fact that violent Jihadis call themselves "Jihadis" and claim to love death above life.

This is only a partial list, so please let us know the many more that we are missing.
