In a quick succession of events the world has recently assembled to publicly flog the Jewish state for imaginary wrongs allegedly perpetrated to imaginary people. So far we’ve seen it and it’s pathetic as it is dangerous. The dangerous bit is what I am concerned about.
You see, when you tell a ten-year old kid that hitting another is ok then guess what will he do? Hit the other kid. Because it’s fun. Now, imagine somebody gives you a goodie in return. You’d hit the other kid even more.
Now, this has happened for over 100 years now: Arabs attack Jews trying to kill as many, indiscriminately, wantonly, just because.
This ‘just because’ hides - apart from the billions of dollars paid to them by the Western 'democracies' of the kind represented in the UNSC or Paris anti-Israel gatherings - a more sinister thing - yes, it does exist: the human sacrifice to a false god.

No, saying that is not too hard on them and it’s not wrong either.
I mean - you did follow the story of the DNC / Obama / Hillary circle attending those satanic dinners and sacrificing chicken to Moloch, right? If you didn’t, you can get a quick read of it here or look for it online.
But this language of 'human sacrifice to a false god' is too ancient to make easy sense and risks being too quickly and unfairly dismissed.
Let’s try 'killing people because it makes you feel good'. How about that? Is it now a bit clearer?
But let me make another parallel.
It struck me a few weeks ago when I accidentally stumbled upon it, this cartoon movie - and, as I do try to make a point in following political messaging in art and culture, I was struck.
I wanted to dismiss it - as above - somewhere along the lines of 'because I am an adult and adults don’t watch cartoon movies that everybody knows are for kids' - but, every time I wanted to do so, something else happened in it that started to coalesce into a subtle reference. The it in question is the movie 'Trolls'.
In short, in this movie, these lovely creatures - the trolls - live happily until some other bad ones come upon them. They run and fight and sing and dance and, eventually all is fine.
It is not so much the basic storyline but the way it is told that makes this extra sense.
For one, these bad creatures have this idea that only eating a troll will make them happy. Ok, the ever elusive question of happiness - as old as the Epic of Gilgamesh and as tough as the toughest philosophical and psychological cookies. . . and the sacrifice of a living being - this strikes some biblical overtones. Hmm…
Then, they have this public celebration when one of them eats a troll for the first time - the community and performative character of the modes of satisfaction of the need for happiness (in our modern, western culture, happiness, a subjective thing, gets satisfied primarily through individual means - check Maslow’s pyramid for details - so when you see public ceremonies dedicated to 'happiness' then you can bet you’re on some pagan, tribal, non-Biblical territory)
And then again: the bad creatures keep the trolls locked up to harvest them as needed, one by one, bred to be eaten. The question of freedom and the lack of it. It’s getting politically meaningful. I told you.
Eventually they escape and find a way to impress upon one of the bad guys the fact that 'the empty stomach feeling they felt wasn’t hunger - so that you have to eat a troll to satisfy it - but, actually, surprisingly, miraculously - yes, it happens to the bad guys too - happiness'.
So, then the trolls find a way to let the bad guys know that happiness is inside and they don’t need to eat one of them in order to be happy, but they can tap into this happiness freely.
Now, it may have become apparent but let me spell it out.
Arab and Muslim kids are told by their parents that in order to be happy they need to kill a Jew, to make this human sacrifice to this false and miserable god of unhappiness.
And so, blindly, they do it and they will still until, hopefully, a Jew would find a way to impress upon them that no, you don’t need to kill Jews in order to be happy, you can just be happy on your own because happiness is already there inside you; nor does your manliness or your being a good Muslim or a good Arab or a good Palestinian depend on killing a Jew like in a wicked pagan rite of passage.
Addendum: the bad guys only get to catch the trolls by being helped by - guess? - another troll. A traitor troll. Who, to justify his crime, goes to some lengths - quickly spun out, suggesting premeditation - to explain that actually, selling his own people to the bad guys was actually a favour he’s doing to them, who would have died anyway, just a bit later, and he, mercifully, is just speeding up the process so that they 'don’t suffer.' Does it sound familiar? If so, possibly because we had and still have walking among us some who:
- complained that Moses took them out from Egyptian slavery,
- lied about the dangers awaiting Jews in the promised land
- wavered in entering the promised land,
- helped foreign empires defeat the Jewish kingdoms,
- liked it better in Babylon,
- sold the Maccabees to the Romans, [and then took the Book of Maccabees out of the Bible for fear it would inspire Jewish self-determination]
- argued that Jews should not have a state until kingdom come,
- now help Israel's enemy gain as much control of the land as possible.
The same traitors in different faces:
Haaretz, B'Tselem בצלם, J Street, New Israel Fund, Breaking the Silence, Yachad, Jewish Voice for Peace, Neturei Karta International, Jewish Anti-Zionist League, Jewish Rabbinical Anti-Zionism, International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, Jews for Boycotting Israeli Goods, American Jews Against Zionism, Independent Jewish Voices Canada, and many others.
Now, this issue of what makes some Jews betray their own people has been discussed in more detail and eloquence elsewhere leaving me to conclude only with a message to our Arab/Muslim brothers:
To be happy you don’t need to kill a Jew, just tap inside yourself and you will find happiness there.
This is the Trolls-State-Solution.
