You Don't Know What Apartheid Really Was

Michael L.

Check this out:

"You don't know what apartheid really was."

What I want, more than anything, is for the Jewish people to stand up for themselves.
The Jews are about .2 percent of the world population and if we do not stand up for ourselves, no one else will.

The ignorance of the 'apartheid' smear is so overwhelmingly astonishing, that there really just simply is no other conclusion to draw, from those who use it, other than that they are vicious antisemites.

There's just no other honest way to look at it, for anyone with a functional brain.

We've not only got to stand up, but we've got to walk around, too, Mike!

;)

We took advantage of this beautiful December day (was sunny and hit 66 degrees in Philadelphia today, after a three-week long, wet and gray deep freeze with two significant snowfalls) to walk about ten miles in all, through my neighborhood and down on into Fishtown for breakfast, then hopped the El into Center City and walked along Market, down Broad, up South and all around Headhouse Square and the Independence Mall area.

Walked past the old Congregation B'nai Reuben building, built in 1904, which was under threat of possibly being demolished not long ago, until trustworthy local business owners (they own two great South Philly bars in beautiful old buildings they've also fixed up) bought it, and now plan to convert it to residential use.

I don't get down to those parts of town, which have Jewish history dating back to 1682, much anymore, but when I do it's always nice to catch up on the current state of the historical synagogues and bath houses and businesses and cemeteries, etc etc.

The Jewish people are here to stay, Mike, don't worry.

Btw, there is currently yet another robber roaming North Philadelphia taking advantage of Muslim head-and-face-wear to hide their identity. The two differences with this one is that this is a woman (they're usually males wearing full burqas), and she is also apparently unarmed (as of now).

She's not completely stupid though, and she's clearly taking advantage of a weak spot in our 'afraid to insist that all people show their faces in public' culture around here.

Workers in the barred and shielded bulletproof corner Chinese takeouts throughout Kensington and Fairhill are protected well enough, but for everyone else all it takes is just one determined (and armed) person like this to go on a rampage (or kill another police officer) and we've got a serious problem.

I don't know about PPD's "Arabic" description (seriously, how the hell can they tell? and frankly, it does strike me as a bit bigoted - she looks pretty Generic American White to me, in the blown-up picture), but that's precisely the point. You can be anybody when all but your eyes are covered, and when nobody thinks twice (indeed, when some even completely avert their eyes for fear of seeming 'Islamophobic' or something) upon encountering masked individuals in public places anymore.

The most wide-open place for such banditry I've ever seen in America is right here in North Philadelphia. I'm honestly surprised it isn't a much more common occurrence. But it does indeed happen.

I also have no clue why Xi'an wasn't on today's itinerary (d'oh!), but my current favorite restaurant in Philadelphia was just written up at Serious Eats.

I really need to try that big sauteed spicy chicken and biangbiang noodle dish soon.

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.
