The Right To Destroy Jewish History

Every week, the official Palestinian Wafa news agency publishes an unintentionally funny list of articles in the Israeli media that they claim show Israeli "racism and incitement."

Practically none of their examples ever show actual incitement or racism.

Examples from this week's edition include an article that quoted a Jew who lives in Judea and Samaria who says that there is a 50% chance of him being hit by a stone when he passes by the Al Lubban school. Another article in Israel Hayom called for a law against teaching terrorism in schools, in the wake of an Arab teacher murdering a Jew in Jerusalem and the discovery that he taught his students to hate Jews.



Perhaps the craziest example of "racism and incitement" was a TV report from Kan that described the recent unearthing of a building in Yavne from the era of the Sanhedrin immediately after the destruction of the Temple. The story showed evidence that Jews lived in the building.

To Palestinians, anything that proves that Jews lived in Israel before the 20th century is clearly incitement against them, because it shows that Jews were there before Arabs.

Therefore, it is "racist."


 
(The right to invent anything they want in order to destroy the indigenous people of the land over the people who invaded it from the 7th century century CE on. Amazing how the human mind works, and Jew hatred works in the Christian and Muslim minds )

"as Palestinians become more and more dispensable, Gaza and the West Bank become less and less like Bantustans and more and more like reservations (or, for that matter, like the Warsaw Ghetto). Porous borders do not offer a way out."

"Thus it is significant that the feminized, finance-oriented (or, for that matter, wandering) Jew of European anti-Semitism should assert an aggressively masculine agricultural self-identification in Palestine"

“Palestine is a different case, first because it was colonized in twentieth century, and second, because it was colonised by people with a historical counterclaim to indigeneity”

“the achievement of the Zionist national project has been predicated on the destruction of the Palestinian one"

"Zionism mirrored the persecutors’ anti-Semitism"

"Zionism is...legitimated by European colonialism...Palestinians have emphasized [its]...status as a settler colonialism sans metropole driven by diasporic nationalism&a desire for racial exclusivity...which has been enacted violently&with disastrous consequences for Palestinian"

"The illegal continuous development of the settlements in the Occupied Territories points towards a larger imperial project of expanding the boundaries of Israel not only to the full extent of the Occupied Territories but from there...to territories in Jordan and elsewhere"

"Many have noted that at least 85 percent of the wall cuts directly into Palestinian territory, thereby calling into question the rationale provided by the Israeli state that the wall is necessary to protect Israel’s borders"

That's BS. The Arabs suggested that the Holocaust survivors be given the best land in Germany.. The Jews were a tiny minority in Palestine from 70 AD until the 1930s.

Exaggeration in the Old Testament about millions of Jews in Palestine is the norm..


Excerpt:

The first period that Geva considers in his study is from the 18th–11th centuries B.C.E. (Middle Bronze Age II to Iron Age I, in archaeological terms), the period before the arrival of the Israelites. Jerusalem was then confined to the small spur south of the Temple Mount known today as the City of David. As Geva reminds us, even then Jerusalem “was the center of an important territorial entity.” From this period, the area includes a massive fortification system that has recently been excavated. Overall, however, the area comprises only about 11–12 acres. Geva estimates the population of the city during this period at between 500 and 700 “at most.” (Previously other prominent scholars had estimated Jerusalem’s population in this period as 880–1,100, 1,000, 2,500, 3,000; still this is hardly what we would consider a metropolis.)

When you bother addressing what the article actually said, let us know.

There is far more to the history of Palestine and the Levant than Jewish history even without the borrowed myths and population exaggerations.

But you always refuse to deal with the facts of the matter even in answering an article you truly are not interested in answering at all.

All you want to do is repeat your generalizations to fool all people like yourself who wish to believe, from their Christian or Islamic education, that Jews are "European Colonizers" who have "stolen" land from the Palestinians.

You tell lie after lie, generalization after generalization in order to minimize to the point of making Disappear.......the facts of the matter.

ARABS (Palestinians) are from Arabia Peninsula.

JEWS. are from the ancient land of Canaan, aka Israel, aka, Judea, aka, Palestine, aka Israel again.


None of your generalizations or attempts to dismiss the absolute total fact that Jews, Ashkenazi, Mizrahi or Sephardi, ARE and always have been the indigenous people of the land and the rightful OWNERS of that land just as the Kurds are the indigenous and rightful owners of theirs, no matter how many Arabs, or Turks wish to take that land away from them.


Spare us of your magic numbers.

Land taken from Indigenous First Nation tribes are still rightfully theirs, no matter if they now live on that land, or if there are just a dozen on them living on it.


Land taken by the Greek, the Romans, the Byzantine, the Muslims, the Crusaders, the Ottomans, the British has ALWAYS been considered the Jewish homeland by
each and every one of those invaders.


Your love for Arabs and their pursuit in the taking away the 20% of what is left of the Jewish Homeland from the Jewish people themselves is an insult to ALL indigenous people on the planet.
 
Anti-Zionists are fond of claiming that Israel is a colonial enterprise of white Ashkenazi Jews—as though Jews exiled to Europe centuries ago from the Middle East should be ineligible to return. Ironic, too, that Hitler insisted German Ashkenazi Jews were anything but white—and therefore should be killed.

This Catch 22 has made it difficult for Jews to find welcome anywhere—in exile and in their ancient homeland.


What most anti-Zionists miss is that despite the perception that resettling Israel was largely (though not completely) an Ashkenazi initiative, the majority of today’s Israelis are ancestors of refugees from the Middle East and Africa. Most are brown-, black- or olive-skinned—not what anyone could describe as white—and as a group are called Mizrahi (Eastern) Jews.

Yet even this fact doesn’t save Israel’s Jews.

In another effort to shut down the truth of the Jewish people, a few weeks ago an Israeli Mizrahi speaker was “cancelled” by anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian forces at the United Kingdom’s Warwick University. She was prevented from speaking of her ancestry for Mizrahi Heritage Week. You may have missed this, since the squelching of speech for pro-Israel voices on college campuses is no longer of media interest.

While for millennia Jews lived with unbroken continuity in the land of Israel, many Jews also lived in neighboring countries, predating the birth of Islam and the Arab conquest, occupation and colonization of the region. While many think of the region today as “Arab,” places like Morocco, Syria and Egypt were invaded 1,300 years ago by Muslims, and their indigenous populations killed or forced to convert and adopt the Arabic language and culture.

Few indigenous populations survived the centuries of onslaught on their authentic identity, and simply disappeared. Despite having second-class, dhimmi status imposed on them by Muslim rulers, Jews refused to relinquish their culture and tradition. They were made subservient to the majoritarian Muslims, who had arrived via invasion and colonization.

This history of conquest, occupation and colonization is one many anti-Zionists would like to hide, since it turns every popular Middle East narrative on its head. Today, strong forces and lobbies ensure that anything exposing Muslim colonial history is censored.

For a Jew, the Temple Mount is everything. We pray facing the Temple Mount. We break a glass at weddings in longing for our full return to the Temple Mount.

The mantra of Chanukah is “Nes Gadol Hayah Sham”, which means “A great miracle happened there” – with “there” being none other than the Temple Mount.

It is not coincidence that the UN tried to disconnect the Jewish People from the Temple Mount during the very festival of Chanukah.

Chanukah marked the victory of ancient and indigenous Jews against the world’s greatest power, with the focal point being a miracle of oil which occurred on the Temple Mount itself.

Jewish children around the world, to this day – this past week – light candles to publicize the miracle that the Jewish people took back our Holy Temple, on the Temple Mount, which we built.

We have seen these kinds of Jew-haters before. We have survived their kind before. And, while the names of ancient Jew-haters have been lost to history, everyone knows the name of the Maccabees.

This recent attempt to defile our Temple Mount today is the same as the colonial Greek empire’s attempt all those years ago. The Greek empire tried to colonialize through the sword, the UN tries to colonialize under the banner of “cultural appropriation.”

This is yet another attempt to colonize us and our culture. To make us think and feel like something we are not.

For many Jewish kids, the Santa talk is the first time they are confronted with the reality of being Jews in a Christian-dominated society. They learn how to lie about their beliefs in order to preserve the fragile feelings of the majority and not incur the wrath of Christian adults. In teaching our Jewish kids not to ruin Christmas for their friends, there’s an element of “keep your head down and give them no reason to hurt you.”

My fellow New York Jews may find this perspective alien, paranoid, or an overreaction. But, having grown up in West Texas, my first reaction to other parents’ pronouncements of “don’t let your kid ruin Christmas” is a gut punch of ancestral fear. Because here’s the thing: whether Christian parents intend it or not, there’s an implied “or else” behind those words. History has not been kind to Jews who anger their Christian neighbors — especially by upsetting their children.

While our Christian neighbors’ demand for our “help” in preserving the Santa magic may seem benign, it’s actually far from it.

Why would you tell such a stupid lie about what Arabs believe?

Moses and Abraham both had Arab wives.

An implied threat? Are you kidding? OMG you're being victimized again.
