Jews represent about .02 percent of the world population and about 1.5 percent of the population of the United States. And, yet, we actually have representatives in the US Congress who think that Jews are illegally "occupying" Judea.
These people -- including Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota), Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) -- are racist antisemitic anti-Zionists who have found comfortable homes for themselves within the Democratic Party.
It must be understood that Arabs are from the Arabian Peninsula and that Jews are from Judea, otherwise known as Israel.
It was not the Jews that conquered almost the entire Middle East and North Africa.
It was the Arabs who did so. And one of the amazing things about the Arab-Muslim imperial conquests is that they have actually managed to convince the guilt-ridden "white" people of Europe and America that Arabs are indigenous to other peoples' lands.
Forget the Copts and the Kurds and the Yazidis and the Bahai and the Jews.
It all belongs to the Arabs who are currently engaged in a wild genocide of the Christians, who even Euro Christians, including the Pope, simply do not care about.
In truth, the Jews of the Middle East (i.e. Jewish Israelis) are going to defend themselves whether you like it or not.
And if you favor BDS then throw away your fucking cell-phone... you amazing hypocrites.

Hi Michael Lumish ! I'm glad you dropped in!
ReplyDeleteI saw something on FB last night which I found quite disturbing. It was a post or ad informing me that two people I barely know, actually, a couple of musician acquaintances, one here in FL and the other in NJ, recommend "If Americans Knew."
Is anyone here familiar with that website? Check it out.
Here's what it says underneath "If Americans Knew," "What every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine". That's quite a claim, isn't it? Remember, you only need to know what it tells you. I guess it's all the news that's fit print.
It's an anti-Israel propaganda site run by someone named Alison Weir. Take a glance at it and I think you will quickly notice the antisemitism emanating from the screen. You'll immediately be greeted with an ad for Alison Weir's book, "Against Our Better Judgment: The hidden story of how the U.S. was used to create Israel."
One of the reviews says, "If you never read another book, read this one." -Daily Kos Diaries - well, of course it's the only book they ever want you read. duh. Can one imagine this being the only thing someone has read? What would that person be like?
Ms. Weir's organization also has 501(c)3 tax-exempt status. Tax free antisemitism. Many of her articles just happen to show up at "The Unz Review." Yes, that same Ron Unz, and the same Unz Review from which Valerie Plame found out how it's the Jews behind all the wars.
The ADL has a PDF concerning Alison Weir.
Back to the two musicians: the one here in FL I met once when I first moved here, we exchanged business cards and FB invitations. The one in NJ I met a couple times some years ago. He is of Jewish heritage and touts his super left wing creds on FB. He is much more intellectually advanced and awesome than you or I.
I found this endorsement for this antisemitism disguised as criticism of Israel incredibly disturbing because the veneer is so damned thin.
Allison Weir is your typical stereotypical anti semite who even the JVP broke with for her conspiracy type work. She is popular with the conspiracy crowd: USS Liberty, Organ Harvesting, Jews pushing US into WW1, etc. So she appeals to outright Nazis and the conspiracy bent types. In another life she would be lunching with Hitler and gleefully accepting invitations to observe the Final Solution personally.
DeleteThings are heating up, you guys... as I am sure you have noticed.
DeleteI have to retreat from FB. It's a waste of time and it is helping to ruin my writing.
Maybe we should stop using the Latin name, and use the Hebrew one instead: Yehudah. That should clear things up for the historically-challenged.
ReplyDeleteIndigenous names are Filastin and al-Quds. The reason there is no Jerusalem in the Holy Qu'ran, is it's a made up colonizer name.
DeleteJerusalem is named numerous times in the Jewish bible. It was called Urusalim before that. It is hardly a colonizer name. By the way, colonizers owe allegiance to a foreign power. The Jews of Israel don't owe allegiance to any power other than Israel.
DeleteJacob is pulling your leg.
DeleteAncient Roman writers and other writers mention Jews but NOT Palestinians or the like. That should tell anyone smarter than a rock something. But it often doesn't. And that should tell us something. Something that rhymes with Mew Bate.
ReplyDeleteI agree. My point is that Arabs are defined by their language, not by their ethnicity. Saying all Americans are from England because they speak English or all Mexicans are from Spain because they speak Spanish would be just as silly.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that "Arab" is a loaded word also. Nabateans are "Arab", but all their inscriptions are in the same Western Aramaic contemporary Jews used. Palmyra is "Arab" in the same way. Mesopotamian Hatra was a capital of an "Arab kingdom of Araba", Wikipedia lists it's name in Hatran Aramaic only.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where are all the Arabic inscriptions, and if there are none, why the conjecture that these people spoke Arabic?
You've probably heard of Maalula Aramaic, the last vestige of Aramaic spoken in Syria. Check out their script. Syria is now trying to replace it with something else, as it looks too much like Zionist characters.
Again on my FB feed another ad from the same antisemitic 501(c)3 site with the same purported recommendation from the same two fatuous idiots.
ReplyDeleteAnd Joseph wants to tell us about "Palestinian DNA," as if there has ever been as such a unique nationality or people either culturally or genetically, i.e., race, (Heil Arafat! and grab your calipers!). Joseph, as so many other somewhat well-intentioned "progressive" Jews help spread the Palestiniast message which always comes down to some slightly disguised way of asserting an unassailable history for that which never was, namely the Palestinians, and make it more authentic than that of the Jews'. I have heard this DNA crap before where it is stated that there is this quintessential palestinian man whose DNA is even more "at one with the land" than the Jews. It is always the same shit! It is always to assert the "Palestinians" as the "true" people of the land and the Jews' claims as illegitimate and the Jew as imposters. This was Tlaib's actual message tucked into her "I take comfort" remarks over the holocaust, to name but one example amongst thousands in a repetition campaign worthy of Goebbels.
I want to know how to get FB from removing this vile group from my feed, and complain that it is a hate group, since Zuckerberg claims to care about such things and has committed to policing.
Correction: I want to know how to get FB to remove this vileness from my feed. A little to much quick editing on my part made it sound as if I want to stop them from getting rid of it.
DeleteAlso, for fans of Sargon of Akkad, here's a good take down of the German left and a little lesson on the Germans vs. the English speaking world. As a former student of German and liberal, I highly recommend it. It also puts me in mind for Woody Allen's reasons for making the film "Zelig."

ReplyDelete"There are many very good arguments

my response:
Those people who carefully read my comments on this blog will receive -- for free -- very good arguments for Israel as a Jewish homeland, and very good arguments for Israel in general.
If half the people who visit this blog would copy my quotes, and save them on their computers, and send them to friends, and repost them on their web sites and FaceBook & Twitter pages, then many people could be reached, and my true quotes could combat the false lies that the media tells about Israel.
I spend lots of time collecting and typing those quotes, but I need YOUR HELP to distribute them to as many people as possible.

ReplyDelete"Jerusalem is named numerous
times in the Jewish bible".
my response:
Jerusalem is mentioned over 600 times in the Jewish Bible, also known as the Hebrew Bible or the OT (Only Testament).
I know that because [thank and praise G*D] I possess computer software that searches the entire Jewish Bible for a specific word, and then automatically counts the number of matches, which in this case, is approximately 650.

It is still VERY relevant, even though it was written in 2014.
Ahhh, the Palestinians are up to it again spreading the narrative of oppression for dupes to swallow and then lecture about morality.

The reason the word "Pallywood," was invented. The Palestinians have been such liars one really should assume everything they say is a lie until it is proved definitively to be true. Kinda like the MSM Dem operatives news in the US.

ReplyDelete"My point is that Arabs are defined by their language, not by their ethnicity."
Rather simplistic and not altogether true.
Here's another component to that language thing:
ReplyDeletehttp://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2019/08/palestinian-officials-incite-violence.html
...in Arabic, of course.
What do we think is the main reason for the quite undeserved success of the Israel-hater amongst the xenophile intelligentsia?
ReplyDeletePretty good!
ReplyDeleteBut here's the funny thing. Mike's piece is called "Jews are from Judea." Joseph writes that this is not a good reason for a Jewish homeland, amongst all the alleged good reasons he never states - reminds me a little of J Street.
Instead he defers to "Palestinian DNA" as a reason for 'something'. I think of the Palestinians as totally indigenous to Palestine - well, I mean except for the language...and the culture...and the majority religion...I don't really care that much of their "indigenous" population comes from all over creation. I do care that they represent themselves as THE indigenous people of a name Europeans imposed on our land, and portray the Jews, who are the only extant indigenous ancient people in that land as imposters with no history there and push antisemitic tropes ad nauseam which gullible hipsters simply ignore for the sake of their own social status amongst the deeply shallow. There are many good reasons NOT to have a "Palestinian" state, and that's just one of them.

ReplyDeleteGreenfield takes on identity politics, a poison to us all.

When what we have (e.g., the ability to publicly and freely disparage the government in the harshest terms, without retribution) is gone, and all that attaches, we will look back at our stupidity, particularly the progressives that ushered in the new reality.
The tribalism of identity politics is an anachronism, a step backward, not to mention it is inconsistent with globalism. So what's it going to be? Can a progressive answer that anomoly?
The nation-state is not perfect, but it is the best vehicle created by humans to prosper and achieve a good life, especially when based on American political ideals of individual self-determination.
The UN and EU are mad because Israel has approved the construction of more than 2,300 housing units for Judea and Samaria communities. Here's the thing. They are mad at Israel when it DOESN'T do such things, so......to heck with 'em. They're gonna be mad anyway.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they should hold negotiation. What do the EU and UN have to offer?
DeleteAround year 1980, a Rabbi who was born in New York City and later made aliyah and became a member of Knesset, said that the United Nations ALWAYS hates Israel, no matter what Israel does, so it is logical for Israel to do what it needs to do, and ignore the hate of the United Nations.
