As if nearly six thousand years of humiliation were not enough, the world is at it again. And to add insult to theft, the Arabs who falsely claim to come from a non-existent country called Palestine have once again stolen from the Jews. This time, it is not just Jewish land, history and heritage. This time they have taken the abuses heaped upon the Jewish people and claimed them for their own, thereby trying to elicit sympathy and feelings of guilt and gain concessions from a bamboozled world.
I?ll be magnanimous and only go back a mere two thousand years. The first humiliation the Jews suffered approximately two thousand years ago was when the Romans overran the Jewish homeland. They changed the name of that homeland from Judea to Palestine as an insult to the Jewish people. Palestine was a bastardization of the name ?Philistine,? an enemy sworn to the destruction of the Jewish people. By renaming it Palestine, the Romans meant to humiliate and subjugate the Hebrews.
Next, there was the Inquisition. Jews were made to suffer unspeakable tortures including burning alive, female and male rape with burning pokers, iron maidens, stretching on the rack, having their fingernails torn out and more.
Even after the Inquisition ended, Jews were treated as less than human in many European countries. They were forbidden from owning property and often relegated to practicing the only two professions the Europeans considered ?dirty:? that of money-lending and grave-keeping. Then, after only being allowed to support themselves in those ways, the Jews were considered ?filthy? for doing the only means of support allowed to them.
Moving on to the late 1890s, Jews were demonized in a pernicious work of fiction called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It was claimed that The Protocols were the minutes of a meeting of Jewish leaders at the first Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland, in 1897, in which Jews plotted to take over the world. In truth, The Protocols were a complete forgery actually written in Paris by an agent of the Russian secret police, Pytor Ivanovich Rachovsky, who was known to have forged other documents for propaganda purposes. Most of The Protocols was copied from an obscure satire on Napoleon III by Maurice Joly called Dialogue aux Enfers entre Montesquieu et Machiavel ("A Dialogue in Hell Between Montesquieu and Machiavelli").
Nevertheless, Hitler and now his modern Arab followers have continued to use this book to demonize the Jews. In the past two years, Arab television stations have aired two separate, enormously popular series about Jews both based on The Protocols. And The Protocols is one of the best sellers in the Arab/Muslim world, along with Mein Kampf.
So now we come to the present. No group of people on this planet has ever suffered the daily humiliations that the Hebrew people now suffer. We are demonized in every mosque, and the religious and political leaders of many Arab and Muslim countries are calling for our subjugation (if we?re lucky) and, more often, our extermination. Jewish children and babies are deliberate targets of Muslim and Arab bombers, their little bodies pierced with nails and ball-bearings dipped in rat poison, while the Arabs dance in the street and hand out candy every time their compatriots murder a busload of families.
And then there is the policy of Yasser Arafat and his people to have the land they currently squat on as Judenrein. Nowhere in the world, including Israel, is there any policy of Muslimrein. And yet all we hear about is the ?humiliation? of the Arabs occupying Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
To this I say, ?What humiliation?? If they suffer any humiliations, it is of their own doing. Every country has the right to keep terrorists from completing their heinous deeds, and Israel is no exception. In fact, every country has the right to keep aliens from entering their domain. And most countries use fences to do just that. Israel was one of the few countries with no fences until the murderous Arabs occupying Israeli land (said land having been lawfully won in a war of Arab aggression and overwhelming odds against Israel) decided to start on a program of genocide against the Jews.
But the Arab spin machine is working overtime taking the continual humiliation of the Jewish people and claiming it for its own. Never have Jews or Israel taken Muslim gravestones and turned them into urinals and paving blocks. But the Muslims routinely do it to Jewish and Christian headstones. The Arabs now occupying Israeli land and falsely claiming it for their own (most of them are really Jordanian or Egyptian ? like Arafat) are systematically looting and destroying Jewish holy sites and archaeological preserves in an effort to de-legitimize the Hebrew people and deny their claims as indigenous people.
What is even more appalling is that Colin Powell and even President Bush go along with this disgusting pack of filth. Not once have I heard either of them bemoan or criticize the daily world-wide humiliation of the Jews. Instead, you hear them both calling for the victims of numerous, unrelenting anti-Semitic atrocities to ease the plight of their tormenters. It especially makes me question President Bush?s assertion that he is a good and devout Christian. Would such a good and devout man accept the lies and propaganda and ask a victim to help his tormenter commit more atrocities? Would a good Christian assist in the destruction of the progenitor of his very own religion?
It is time that the President Bush, as leader of ?The Quartet,? stop the daily humiliation of the Jewish people and Israel or be remembered in the history books as the Emperor Hypocrite, who clothed himself in religion and once again, like the Romans, threw the Jews to the lions.
