For the past 3,500 years, there have been a host of theories on how to eliminate the scourge of anti-Semitism. Some scholars have even suggested that Jew-hatred actually predates Judaism itself. Go figure.



Throughout much of recorded history, a rather large portion of the world has subscribed to the belief that if only they could get rid of the Jews who were dispersed throughout their lands, perhaps forcing them into some small, isolated far-away desert, Jews would not be hated any longer. However, the ancient Egyptians released Moses and his minions from their land and regretted those actions. The chase began and Passover was born, an event which seems to recur time and again.



After cremating two thirds of European Jewry during World War II, Europe allowed the one third that survived to emigrate to a rather barren historical homeland with few natural resources, but a nice beach front. Europeans have always put great value on beaches.



They gave Jews some oceanfront views, but would not allow access to a 2,000 year old Holy Wall. How dare those Jews be so arrogant to request the right to visit chipped Jerusalem stones with moss hanging from them, the remains of a supposed old temple. Europe's premise was to send the remaining Holocaust survivors to a far away place, putting them out-of-sight and out-of-mind. Perhaps, if Europeans did not see many Jews around anymore, Jew-hatred would cease and anti-Semitism would be cured.



However, now it is 55 years later and guess what? Much of the world is saying the exact opposite. "If we get rid of the Jewish state of Israel, and disperse the Jews or allow other ethnic and religious populations to assimilate with them, but not as a Jewish state, the entire problem will be resolved and anti-Semitism will disappear."



The truth is that somehow Jews can never win. Amazingly, anti-Semitism exists in places where Jews have never set foot. Actually, most of the 1.3 billion Muslims in the world never even met a real live Jew. There are 70 million Egyptians today, 95% have never come within a mile of a Jew, except if they were in the Egyptian army that was surrounded in 1973. Yet, one of the highest rated Egyptian television programs in recent memory was a 41-episode series on the Jewish conspiracy to take over the world and the methods used by that "accursed, wicked race" to utilize non-Jewish blood to bake matzohs, among other dastardly deeds.



Much of the world has hated Jews when they were living among them and hated Jews when they were not living among them. Therefore, there is only one other possibility. That is "to destroy and kill all Jews." Now that should certainly eliminate anti-Semitism.... except when we consider what Hitler predicted about that possibility.



Adolf Hitler gathered artifacts to create a museum dedicated to "the race that no longer exists." He collected books, menorahs, Judaica, Torahs and numerous other objects. This pet project was Hitler's way of solving "our problems which are caused by the Jews; although when we finally get rid of them, their evil will probably continue to cause us troubles for eternity."



The Nazi premise was that even if they had been successful at wiping out every living Jew from the face of the earth, the Fuhrer would somehow hold Jews responsible for many of the world's future problems. Thus continued the victimization ideology that the Left has adopted today. Blame others for whatever goes wrong and never look in the mirror.



Reinforcing this belief is the fact that the greatest hatred of Jews today exists throughout the 60 or so Arab and Muslim nations, where only lonely Jews actually remain.



Yet, there is one country in the world that is thriving today and is truly the first hyper-power in history. America has become hated by much of old Europe and the Arab/Muslim world because of the successes it has achieved and its overwhelming strength. As the only Judeo-Christian country, America has embraced everyone, including its Jews, in a very unique way.



Unless all other nations follow suit with this wonderful American example, America, Israel and a relatively few other Western democracies will have to build a fence around them and allow the rest of the world to destroy itself.
