The Jews have the unique distinction of being the only people who suffer from ethnic cleansing not merely by outsiders, but by their own people. In today's world, many 'respected' leaders are calling for an ethnic cleansing of the Hebrew people in unique new ways. And this includes some of Israel's leaders, too. But first, let's take a look at some recent records as well as ancient and modern facts.
Fact: The one and only homeland the Jewish people ever had is what is now called the State of Israel. The oldest book in the world ? the Bible ? clearly describes the Jewish homeland and gives its exact boundaries; which, by the way, are far larger than the current State of Israel.
Even that notorious (and foolishly shortsighted) anti-Semite, Dr. Nabil Hilmi, Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Al-Zaqaziq swears the Bible is historical truth. He made a statement in the August 9, 2003 edition of the Egyptian weekly Al-Ahram Al-Arabi that he takes as fact the Bible's account of the Exodus. He made this statement in full anticipation of using the Bible as indisputable evidence in a legal action whereby he planned on suing every Jew on the planet for trillions of dollars. In my book, if an anti-Semite, particularly a Muslim one, admits that Biblical evidence is valid, then it is, whether for the Exodus or for land rights.
Fact: Israel is as inseparable from Judaism as Mecca is from Islam or the Vatican is from Catholicism. For 2,000 years, since the original ethnic cleansing of what is now called Israel, Jews have said in their Passover Seder prayer, "Next year in Jerusalem!"
Who else has a written claim of land ownership spanning almost 6,000 years, and a verbal and written one expressing a desire to return to the aboriginal land from which the original inhabitants had been ethnically cleansed? The Jews have a right of return, spanning 2,000 years, as the only ethnic and religious group tied to the modern State of Israel ? as well as some lands stolen from them by the Jordanians, Syrians and a few others.
Also, unlike almost all other religions, Jews (with a few exceptions) are one ethnic group who also share a common religion that has the same derivative name. This means that anything done against Jews is done against both an ethnic group and a religion.
Fact: Modern anti-Semites have tried to separate Israel from Judaism to justify their hatred towards Jews and desire to destroy Israel. This tactic is the utmost in humiliation since by delegitimizing Israel, these haters are seeking to delegitimize and ultimately destroy the entire Jewish religion.
So, who are these modern-day advocates of ethnic cleansing and how can they get away with it? First, one must recognize the written and stated goals of that Arab entity run by Yasser Arafat, now occupying Israeli land in Gaza, Judea and Samaria. In article 15 of the PLO Charter, it specifically calls for "the liquidation of the Zionist presence."* This can only be interpreted as advocating both an ethnic cleansing of the Jewish homeland, and genocide.
Because of the above-stated goal, it is proper to interpret every homicide/genocide bombing as an attempt to ethnically cleanse the State of Israel of its rightful inhabitants, as well as to exterminate those inhabitants. The same goes for the daily barrage of missiles raining upon Israeli homes, as well as shootings of Israeli commuters, home invasions and murders of Israeli families, etc.
To prevent such unfathomable evil from happening, Israel has opted to build a security fence. This is a common practice among most other nations ? and they are not under daily attack for their very existence. Anyone who declares that such a benign, non-aggressive security barrier is 'not helpful,' is actually advocating ethnic cleansing and genocide by wanting to allow the genocidal monsters free access to their victims. Such notables as President Bush, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, Kofi Anan, and the entire Arab/Muslim world (with no exceptions) are but some who would like to see Israel leave herself wide open to ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Then there is the issue of 'the Roadmap to Israel's Destruction.' This is nothing more than a thinly disguised attempt at ethnic cleansing using legal means and a deception of peace. According to the 'gang of four' who are pushing this plan, they want to ethnically cleanse Jews ? many of whom have multi-generational claims to their land ? from their aboriginal homeland. Apparently, everyone has a right to his or her aboriginal homeland, except the Jewish people. Even non-aboriginals, such as the Arabs occupying Israeli land (most of whom are Jordanian or Egyptian, no matter what they call themselves) are seen as having more of a right to the Jewish homeland than the Jews.
And now, even Ariel Sharon is advocating the ethnic cleansing of his own people from their own homeland. "It is my intention to carry out an evacuation - sorry, a relocation - of settlements that cause us problems and of places that we will not hold onto anyway in a final settlement, like the Gaza settlements," he stated.** (This is along with the multitudes of Jews he wants to remove from Judea and Samaria.)
If our own people advocate our ethnic cleansing, what hope do we have of survival in a notoriously anti-Semitic world?
