Mantra
A Scotsman, an Irishman and an Englishman go into a pub.
The Scotsman says, "I don't know about you Paddy but things are not great for
us," Paddy replies "Things are terrible for us too right now." The Englishman
says "Yes, we have lots of problems too, I know, let's blame it on the Jews, it
worked for the Germans."
Of course, today they don't only blame the Jews, but they
also blame the Jewish State, Israel, that in perceived wisdom is uniquely evil
and suppressive of the poor Palestinians. Who are "they", they are the
liberal-left intelligentsia and the lumpen proletariat, who are always
complaining and seeking scapegoats for their ills. Even though in the Syrian
civil war some 400,000 people have been killed in an orgy of carnage, the Syrian
Arabs don't make a good scapegoat. Even though in the so-called Islamic State
in Iraq and Syria, they have massacred and beheaded thousands of minorities,
Christians, Kurds, Yazidis, Shia, their crimes against humanity pale (in the
biased minds) against the crimes of the Israelis. Its so
ridiculous.
Recently Israel wouldn't let the Palestinian Arab youths
pray on our Temple Mount, where the Temples of David and Solomon stood, because
they were rioting and throwing stones and petrol bombs at our people and the
police. But, even the US Secty of State Kerry applauded PM Netnyahu's allowing
all Muslims to pray there at Friday prayers and there was no violence. The fact
is that despite all the incitement by the Palestine Authority leaders, including
Mahmud Abbas, against Israel and the Jews, there has been no change to the
status quo of the Temple Mount. It has been and continues to be under the
control of the Muslim religious authority the Wakf and under the
jurisdiction of King Abdullah of Jordan. Yet, Israel will be uniquely vilified,
by those who in no way care about Islamic prayer.
Their mantra is that Israel is an apartheid,
imperialist colonialist state. My answer to all those who think that
Israel's actions are causing these "problems," these riots, the so-called
frustration of the Palestinian people (that strangely manifests itself in
organized riots from time to time), is that nothing we do as Jews or Israelis
can change this situation, we are blamed whether we do something or not.
Usually they focus on the building of some homes in Jerusalem, which is our
capital. My mantra is: we are here by right and we are here to stay,
so get used to it.
