As sixteen more Jewish children are orphaned following the brutal axe murders in Elad, we see haters celebrate all over the world. The anti-Israel position is not a ‘human-rights’ movement, nor one that just seeks a Palestinian state. It is a death cult, a movement that denies truth, craves bloodshed, glorifies violence, and worships death. It is a cult that because of its own many shortcomings, satisfies itself through the murder of Jews.
The terrorism
Three more Israelis
were slaughtered by axe-wielding terrorists on Thursday night. Two of the victims were murdered as they enjoyed time in a local park. The third had given the two terrorists a lift into Elad – a town to which the terrorists often travelled for work.
The attack is the latest in a string of murderous attacks in Israel that has left
eighteen Israelis dead:
- May 5 – Elad – Boaz Gol, Yonatan Havakuk, Oren Ben Yitfah
- April 29 – Ariel – Vyacheslav Golev
- April 7 – Tel Aviv – Tomer Morad , Eytam Magini , Barak Lufan
- March 29 – Bnei Brak – Amir Khoury, Ya’akov Shalom, Avishai Yehezkel , Victor Sorokopot, Dimitri Mitrik
- March 27 – Hadera – Yezen Falah, Shirel Abukarat
- And March 22 – Ber Sheva – Doris Yahbas, Laura Yitzhak, Rabbi Moshe Kravitzky, Menahem Yehezkel
A concentrated series of attacks hitting different towns, choosing random targets, with a varying array of weapons. Most nations would be left in semi-social paralysis as such a terror campaign unfolded, but Israel is not just ‘any nation’. Israelis have seen all this before and worse. And Israelis are under no illusions – they know the enemies are out there seeking opportunities to kill them. It is why Israel’s borders are heavily fortified, why ‘Iron Dome’ was invented, why the security fence was built, why the checkpoints were set up, and why Gaza faces strict sanctions. So when terrorists strike, most discussions are only about the security or intelligence failures that are perceived to have allowed some of the haters through the net.
Israelis live today only due to their strength, innovation, and resilience. They are the targets of an obsessive and brutal death cult.
The goal
The anti-Israel movement may be wrapped up in soft-sounding keywords, but what it seeks is the total destruction of the Jewish state. It is not interested in freedom or democracy. At best it wants Jews back at the mercy of Islamist masters – at worst it wants the Jews gone. Having understood the way to manipulate western ‘human rights’ discourse, they embarked on an intense and well organised propaganda campaign. They set about to delegitimise Israel through a constant drumbeat of lies. But whatever terminology they use today, they always mean the same thing:
- Free Palestine = destroy Israel
- From the river to the sea = destroy Israel
- right of return = destroy Israel
- One democratic state = destroy Israel
- No justice – no peace = destroy Israel
- We don’t have a problem with Jews, just Zionists = destroy Israel
Half of the demonstrators at anti-Israel demonstrations today support despots such as Assad or hybrid oppressive regimes such as Pakistan or Iran. They only take to the streets when they can demonstrate their hatred of Israel. It is why at anti-Israel demonstrations you can see many homophobic, misogynistic, violence-supporting thugs holding placards claiming they support notions of human-rights. Yes, there are traditional leftists in the crowd, but that just makes a bad situation worse. You are left with do-gooders and virtue-signallers standing alongside Islamists and anti-Jewish racists – all crying out in unison for the destruction of the Jewish state.
The left ethically imploded when it adopted the Palestinian cause. They may as well have physically taken the left’s moral soul and injected it with pure cyanide.
The celebrations
And when Jews lie brutally murdered in the street, we can see many of these toxic thugs actually celebrate their deaths. Like when sweets are handed
out in the streets of Gaza:
But it is not just those in
Gaza or Nablus who celebrate. Social media swarms with hate.
When Israeli radio presenter Yossi Davidov
posted a message of grief on Facebook following the Elad attack, the response was predictable. In saying the response was ‘predictable’ I open up a divide between what is normal for everyone else, and what is normal for Jews. When innocent civilians are slaughtered in city streets by terrorists, there is normally near universal grief. When Jews are killed, the laughter tends to drown out the measured sympathy of our allies. In 2021 there was a
tragedy at Mount Meron which left 45 Israelis dead. Within six hours of posting about the event, Al Jazeera had received over 30,000 responses – over 10,000 of them were ‘laughing at’ or ‘loving’ the tragedy. The most ‘liked’
comments under the post were the most vicious.
In the end, Jews who post about their heartbreak tend to be swamped by people who are glad Jews have been killed. Only with Jewish suffering do Jews end up needing to limit who can respond to their posts (as Yossi Davidov had to). Such is the level of hate against Jews in the world.
