Israel vs. Palestine
Yes, they
are at it again. Muslims vs. Jews, the
killing of the innocents. As in any
other war the wrong people die. Bombing
or rockets are the main killing device and they represent the best collateral
damage device yet to be developed.
Somehow as in any war the leaders and the munition manufacturers go unharmed. The duped, civilians and soldiers, take the
damage. Will this ever change (even
after this blog post) unlikely.
Hamas
clearly started this hot war. This will
be forgotten by anti-Semites in the very near future. Here is the stated position of Hamas: “We
were born in Palestine, as were our fathers and were their fathers before
them. The Jews inhabiting our homeland
and calling themselves Israel were dumped on our nation by England and given
the right to form a nation on our land.
They have made us, the true believers in Allah (God) second class
citizens and moved us to a reservation called The Gaza Strip. We are fenced off of our own land. Israel must be destroyed and the Jews living
there must die.”
Here is
the position of Israel: “We are a nation of Jews who have been kicked out of
our various homelands or murdered there for over two thousand years. In 1948, after the end of World War II England
used its mandate over Palestine, many of who's people were allied with Hitler in a desire to kill Jews. The Holocausts' survivors were dumped into Palestine. These new survivors from the cities of Europe had to quickly learn to farm the land and fight for their survival amongst overwhelming odds. The bulk of these refugees had already been
denied entry into The United States and England. Many of these Jewish refugees considered the
Sahara their biblical (mythological) home.
God said it was theirs.
Palestinian terrorists began a program of bombing city busses and
attacks on Jewish elementary schools. As a result, Israel took away Palestinians' access and moved them to Gaza and The West
Bank. The Jews of Germany, before
Hitler, thought that they were Germans. But, they learned once again that somewhere in the world there must be a Jewish
nation, where they could live as citizens and survive. They call themselves Zionists. Israel is a small spot on the globe surrounded by
Muslim nations. The Hasidic Jews (ultra conservative) will not join the Army of Israel. For them, survival is not an adequate reason to disregard God's biblical commandment. "Thou shalt not kill." That might just be a good guiding philosophy for all people, but it doesn't function well if your enemies don't believe it.
I am an
agnostic living in America. My parents
were Jews so I am a Jew to an anti-Semite.
I have experienced very little anti-Semitism in my lifetime. When I was young a country club would not
accept Jews. There are still very active
anti-Semitic movements in the Deep South.
I don’t believe that Chris Christie would have been elected Governor of
New Jersey if his name were Jew Jewie.
He might have made it to US Attorney of New Jersey . Morons and some folks who place loyalty above
logic still prejudge the “others.”

To the wise, religion is false.
To the leaders, religion is useful.”
