I find it astonishing that almost everyone that I know seems to believe that the Jewish people are under some ethical or political obligation to recognize the "Palestinians."

This may be the first time in world history in which a people have been pressured by the international community to recognize and negotiate with an alleged ethnicity that came into existence within living memory and whose stated purpose is to wipe out the self-defense and self-determination of another people.

It is amazing and horrific.

Chickens or eggs? Do they really or do they simply hate Israel and the Jews and then use that argument as a crutch to justify it?

We're told every day to 'recognize' 34 million illegal aliens as the apotheosis of what it means to be American, at the expense of citizens. We're told every day to 'recognize' all sorts of groups and identities and self anointed grievance groups even when they themselves tell us their goal is to wipe us out.

It is amazing and horrific and not well understood by many people.
Trudy makes a good point: much of the time it is hard to tell whether a person's motive is just ignorance or malice. But many people simply have been bamboozled by the now popular narrative. How many people today know that there was never a country of Palestine, that Jews were called Palestinians and Arabs referred to Palestine as a "zionist scheme" or that 'Palestinian' is a name of recent vintage as an Arab nationality, or the Arab-Israeli conflict, international law (the real one), or the story of the Jews?
If we don't speak up people will believe those who do. What else do they have to go by?

Who are the Palestinians?

================================

Dear Michael Lumish and all participants of the Israel Thrives blog,

For the first time in forever, I will reveal my personal theory about the origins of the so-called “Palestinians”.

(Before I proceed further, I want to suggest that from now on, the Palestinians should always be referred to as “the so-called Palestinians”, because they are NOT the indigenous people of “Palestine” nor are they even a real nation.)

In the Biblical Book of Deuteronomy, chapter 32, verse 21, G*D Himself predicts that because the Israelites [Jews] would, in the future, taunt Him by worshipping false gods that do not actually exist, there would eventually come a time when He would punish the Israelites by taunting them with a false nation that does not actually exist.

This false nation that does not actually exist is known as the “so-called Palestinians”.

This is Deuteronomy, chapter 32, verse 21, as translated in THE LIVING TORAH by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan:

"THEY HAVE BEEN FAITHLESS TO ME WITH A NON-GOD, ANGERING ME WITH THEIR MEANINGLESS ACTS. NOW I WILL BE UNFAITHFUL TO THEM WITH A NON-NATION, PROVOKING THEM WITH A NATION DEVOID OF GRATITUDE."

This is Deuteronomy, chapter 32, verse 21, as translated in THE METSUDAH CHUMASH/RASHI by Rabbi Avrohom Davis:

"THEY HAVE INCITED ME TO VENGEANCE WITH A NON-GOD --- HAVE SPITED ME WITH THEIR IDOLS; AND I WILL INCITE THEM WITH A NON-PEOPLE, I SHALL ANGER THEM WITH A FAITHLESS NATION."

I believe that the so-called “Palestinians” are the “NON-NATION“ and “NATION DEVOID OF GRATITUDE” from the translation of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.

I believe that the so-called “Palestinians” are the “NON-PEOPLE” and “FAITHLESS NATION” from the translation of Rabbi Avrohom Davis.

Sincerely,
Mr. Cohen

It is way too much coincidence that there is so much blatant antisemitism among so called pro-Palestinians. It's almost universal. I think we all know what is going on.

It's not the only time. Evident Rhodesia. Evident Angola. Evident Namibia. In each case the battlefield tactical winners were eventually forced to give up all strategic advantage, surrender and welcome in the people who want them all dead.

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.
