The Hanukah Massacre on Gaza

[Jos]

“When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are to possess and casts out the many peoples living there, you shall then slaughter them all and utterly destroy them…You shall make no agreements with them nor show them any mercy…You shall destroy their altars, break down their images, cut down their groves and burn their graven images with fire. For you are a holy people unto the LORD thy God and He has chosen you to be a special people above all others upon the face of the earth…”
–Book of Deuteronomy, 7:1-8

The aerial assault on Gaza thus far resulting in several hundred deaths and close to a thousand casualties (much of which will result in even more deaths) must–if it is to be understood correctly–be placed within the historical context of the religious ideas expounded by Judaism since its inception and which today constitute the philosophical lifeblood of the state of Israel.

The point at which it transforms into the creature responsible for so much of today’s mayhem is when Abraham, a landless, penniless nomad living in modern day Iraq, begins hearing voices in his head telling him he has been favored by a God named Yahweh who than promises him a future of wealth, land, power and superiority over all other persons, encapsulating this idea with “I will bless those who bless thee and curse those who curse thee”. Shortly thereafter, he again hears voices in his head telling him to engage in the barbarity of human sacrifice by killing his own son Isaac in worshipping this God named Yahweh. With knife at the throat of his son and a mere few seconds away from becoming a murderer, he is then prevented from doing so by an angel, and some 3 generations later, his descendents (made up by 12 tribes) come to be known as “Israelites”.

Not long afterwards an Israelite named Moses also begins hearing voices from this same god, telling him to rescue the Israelites being “oppressed and persecuted” by the Egyptians. After a series of plagues brought against the oppressors–seemingly a fulfillment of Yahweh’s promise to “Curse those who curse” the descendents of Abraham, Moses–again, under the direction of the voices he is hearing–orders the Israelites to steal all the gold and silver of Egypt and to follow him to the land “promised” them by Yahweh residing between the two great rivers, the Nile and the Euphrates. Before entering this land however, Moses instructs the Israelites that they are to kill all the inhabitants, man, woman and child–”infant and suckling” and to rob them of all their possessions. An extermination campaign is mounted, in effect a “holocaust” of the Semitic peoples in the promised land, left unfinished by Moses but taken up again by his protégé Joshua and other subsequent leaders such as Saul and David.

Jos, do you remember when the Haganah Israeli Zionist terror group blew up the S.S. Patria, which had Jewish illegal immigrants, and they killed 260 Jewish people?

The Jews killed their own jews. And it never made it to the public that Haganah was behind it.

People killing their own people? Sounds like the vile religion known as Islam

"because" everyone knows about the SS Patria

Not only do Israelis hold intensely hypocritical attitudes toward Palestinian nonviolence, as I highlighted in my last post, but they also hold opinions about violent Palestinian resistance that are characterized by a kind of phony piousness. Israelis simply disallow Palestinians the same right to struggle for a national home that they afforded themselves.

Here is a potent example of the cynical and violent behavior of Israel’s founders. The example concerns the case of the SS Patria, a 12,000 ton passenger ship carrying 1,904 Jewish refugees that had fled the Nazi regime in 1940. At that time the British authorities were attempting to slow Jewish immigration to Palestine, and they had decided to send the Patria to Mauritius. The Zionist leadership wanted fervently to prevent the deportation of the newly arrived refugees, so the Jewish paramilitary organizations—the Irgun and the Haganah—each attempted to destroy the ship sufficiently so that it could not function. First, the Irgun planted a bomb intended to disable the ship—and failed. Then the Haganah, operating under orders from Moshe Sharett (the future second prime minister of Israel, 1953–1955), planted a bomb in the inner hull of the ship. On November 26, the bomb detonated and blew a massive hole in the ship’s hull. The ship sunk in 15 minutes, killing 260 innocent Jewish refugees and injuring another 172.
