Honigman\u2026 How can you be so insensitive!!!???<\/p>\n
Perhaps the following will help explain\u2026<\/p>\n
The lunar Hebrew calendar date for Israel Independence Day (May 14, 1948) falls on May 8th this year. The resurrected nation of Christianity\u2019s alleged Deicide People, the \u201cWandering Jews,\u201d and the Arabs\u2019 kilab yahud (\u201cJew dogs\u201d) and myself both turn sixty, G_d willing, on the exact same day.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the festivities, the world will face another \u201ccelebration\u201d of sorts\u2026the Arabs\u2019 \u201cNakba\u201d day, on May 15th of each year. That\u2019s what the Arabs call their catastrophe\u2026Israel\u2019s rebirth, placing a guilt trip for their own post-’48 predicament on Jews. <\/p>\n
They\u2019ll demonstrate all over–including in Israel itself–and assorted media will give them as much if not more coverage than they did for Israel Independence Day.<\/p>\n
While I don\u2019t deny Arabs attention, would the same protests of scores of millions of black Africans (in the Sudan and elsewhere), Copts, Imazighen (Berbers), Kurds, Assyrians, Jewish refugees from Arab\/Muslim lands (and the few Jews still remaining there), and other non-Arab victims of Arab imperial conquest, forced Arabization, murder, expulsion, and so forth over years get the same media publicity? <\/p>\n
Of course not. <\/p>\n
None of the Arabs\u2019 multitudes of victims dare to even demonstrate without placing their own lives on the line. And when they rarely do, few–if any–people elsewhere in the world usually get to see or hear about such things anyway. It takes Arab mass murder of such folks as in the Anfal campaign in Iraq or in the Sudan before anyone even notices. So forget about what Arabs are doing to Kurds in Arab Syria right now without anyone saying a word. The murdered aren\u2019t numerous enough yet, I guess\u2026forget about their on-going subjugation.<\/p>\n
All right\u2026but, still, didn\u2019t Arabs also suffer because of the Jews\u2019 insistence on casting off their perpetual victim and statelessness condition? <\/p>\n
Yes, some did, but here\u2019s the main point\u2026<\/p>\n
The Arab nakba was a catastrophe which didn\u2019t have to be.<\/p>\n
Arabs were mainly victims of self-inflicted wounds which occurred due to their own subjugating, racist attitudes towards all others daring to stake a claim, no matter how small, after the break up of the four century-old Ottoman Turkish Empire in what Arabs proclaimed to be–as a result of their own earlier imperial conquests–purely Arab patrimony.<\/p>\n
While no one is squeaky clean once hostilities erupt, the post-\u201848 Arab predicament was sired overwhelmingly by themselves. <\/p>\n
When bullets and bombs start to fly and comrades start to fall, too often all Hell breaks loose. <\/p>\n
But if Arabs had not repeatedly attacked Jews and invaded a reborn Israel in 1948, the Arab nakba would not have come to pass. Massive non-Zionist contemporary evidence (including from Arabs) testifies to this. And some Arabs (most new-comers themselves into the Palestine Mandate) would have come to live (as many now do) in one Jewish State–which made Arabic a second official language and where Arabs who side with Hamas sit in Israel\u2019s Parliament–as millions of non-Arabs (including many Jews) have lived in almost two dozen \u201cArab\u201d states. Contrast the Israeli Arab example with many non-Arabs who had their own languages and cultures outlawed in “Arab” lands.<\/p>\n
In the State Department’s current darling, Mahmoud Abbas\u2019s, own words, as quoted in March 1976… <\/p>\n
The Arab armies entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians…but instead they abandoned them, forced them to leave…and threw them into prisons (refugee camps) similar to the ghettoes in which Jews were earlier forced to live ( Falastin a-Thaura ). <\/p>\n
So, then, when is a catastrophe not so? <\/p>\n
When it is–or was–totally avoidable and brought about primarily by oppressive attitudes and actions of the alleged victims themselves. <\/p>\n
While tragedy occurred, it was born of subjugating, racist attitudes and mindset which declared that none besides Arabs were worthy of political rights in the region. For Arabs, colonialism and imperialism are nasty only when someone besides themselves are the perpetrators. <\/p>\n
Unlike Arabs, who were offered repeated compromises over the land, no such accommodations were ever offered to the Arabs\u2019 national competitors. Think hundreds of thousands of murdered and gassed Kurds, even greater genocide in the Sudan, burned down Egyptian Coptic churches, what the real struggle is largely about in pre-Arab Lebanon (King Solomon built the Temple of the Jews in Jerusalem from his Phoenician ally, King Hiram\u2019s, famed cedars in Lebanon), and so forth. <\/p>\n
In 1922, Arabs were handed over three quarters of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine when they received all of the east bank of the Jordan River from the Brits. In 1947, they were offered about half of what was left in a second partition. <\/p>\n
Arabs rejected the above because dhimmi Jews –as \u201cPeople of the Book,\u201d one of the protected peoples who, after paying Mafia-style \u201cprotection money\u201d via a special poll tax (the jizyah), were at least usually not massacred and forcibly converted en masse like others were with the spread of the Dar ul-Islam–were entitled to no political rights whatsoever in Arab eyes. <\/p>\n
Had Arabs accepted the \u201847 partition, they would have wound up with two Arab states covering about 90% of the original territory of “Palestine.” Thirty-five million truly stateless Kurds are still struggling to have the world recognize their own plight, with America\u2019s State Department Arabists–key proponents of Arab State # 22–leading the opposition.<\/p>\n
The very name \u201cPalestine\u201d came to be only after the Roman Emperor, Hadrian, got so fed up with the Jews after their second major revolt for freedom and independence that he renamed Judaea \u201cSyria Palaestina\u201d after the Jews\u2019 already well-known, historic enemies, the non-Semitic \u201cSea People\u201d originally from the area around Crete, the Philistines, in order to pour salt onto the wound. Rome\u2019s own contemporary historians wrote much about this themselves–Tacitus, Dio Cassius, etc.<\/p>\n
Check out Dio\u2026<\/p>\n
580,000 men were slain, nearly the whole of Judaea made desolate. Many Romans, moreover, perished in this war ( 133-135 C. E., the Bar Kochba Revolt). Therefore Hadrian in writing to the senate did not employ the opening phrase commonly affected by the emperors, ‘ I and the legions are in health.’ <\/p>\n
Hadrian was so enraged that, in the words of the esteemed modern historian, Bernard Lewis, Hadrian made a determined attempt to stamp out the embers not only of the revolt but also of Jewish nationhood and statehood… obliterating its Jewish identity.<\/p>\n
Despite all the whitewash, Arabs–Abbas\u2019 Fatah Arafatians, Hamas, etc.– still insist that their new State (again, second, not first, in \u201cPalestine\u201d) will arise in place of Israel — not along side of it — as a quick look at any of their maps, websites, and such shows. Or try listening to or reading a sermon given by one of \u201cmoderate\u201d Abbas’ imams. He simply plays the Jew-baiting game better\u2026i.e., with more dishonesty. Say one thing to the West, and another thing to your own folks in Arabic\u2026although nowadays, much if not most of dhimmi Europe usually doesn\u2019t even expect that.<\/p>\n
Would that Jews possessed some two dozen other states like Arabs have, perhaps, one could argue, there would have been no need for the rebirth of Israel. <\/p>\n
But the Jew did not possess even one state, let alone two dozen. And, unlike Arabs, the plight of the Jew prior to 1948 was a nakba not of his own making–despite the unfortunate \u201ctheological\u201d claims of some.<\/p>\n
The sad reality is that the Arabs\u2019 misfortunes occurred because they insisted that the millennial nightmare of the Jews should continue into perpetuity. No compromise was feasible with “their” dhimmi Jew dogs in the Dar ul-Islam. And this goes beyond \u201cmerely\u201d religious stuff\u2026as fellow Muslim–but non-Arab–Kurds, black Africans in Darfur, Berbers, and others know only too well.<\/p>\n
Summing it up, had Arabs been willing to grant Jews a miniscule slice of the same human dignity and justice that they so forcefully demand for themselves, the Arab nakba could have been resolved decades ago. <\/p>\n
The day Arabs confess their own much greater original sin for all the above is the day they gain the right to protest others\u2019 imperfect struggles to obtain a modicum of justice for themselves.<\/p>\n
Until then, regardless of how politically incorrect it sounds…<\/p>\n
