Zone1 What’s behind the demonization of Israel?

[Concerned American]

I'm not Jewish... but I can see that defending the only democracy in the middle east is within our best interest regarding our own national security...

I think this addresses the reality very well.

Real hate crimes are punished.

We are fools if we keep sending young men into the meat grinder because they want to squat on Arab land.

It is not Arab land. It belongs to the Jews.

So the Lenape Indians can reclaim lower Manhattan

No laws preventing Lenap indians from living in Manhattan. No laws keeping them out of anywhere in the US. They were paid for the land, by the way, and pretty well. They sold it willingly. Nobody 'outnumbered' them; only idiots believe whites outnumbered indians then.

The Lenape have a strong case that the sale is not binding due to fraud in the inducement

There’s Lenape have a strong case that the sale is not binding due to fraud in the inducement

So what? They're just greedy, and want to see how stupid white people are, is all.

So far they have you hooked.

Ever since the Islamic massacre of innocent Jews on 10/7, and committed on the most joyous holiday of the Jewish calendar, antisemites have taken to demonizing Israel - and the Jews who support it. In this article by Victor Davis Hansen, the following reasons are discussed:

1. DEI proponents “established” that there are groups with supposedly legitimate grievances for whom all sorts of exceptions are made because, well….they're oppressed. That has empowered them to voice all sorts of heinous, racist opinions, as they know their “oppressed status” gives them leniency, and people are afraid to criticize the protected binary.

2. Demographics. Muslims are overtaking Jews in population, due not only to immigration but their much higher birthrate. As it now stands, some areas are majority Muslim, and the antipathy to Jews Is palatable. Muslim are now serving on the local boards of leftist areas, and of course are making inroads into mayoral and Congressional spots - and bringing their Israel-hate along with them.

3. Money. Rich Arab countries have bought their way into American universities with billions of dollars - and the leftist schools already predisposed to siding with Muslims over Jews are bought and paid for. The anti-Israel indoctrination starts with freshmen orientation with “anti-Israel” booklets and lapses over into overt antisemitism with “No Jew zones’ and bullying and assaults of Jewish students.

The Demonization of Israel

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the reasons antisemitism is on the rise in America, and the reasons it is becoming acceptable.

On one level King Solomon was correct that "money answereth all things."

The people who want to defeat the United States as a superpower, know that
getting two billion Muslims into Nazi Era style hatred of Israel, is an effective strategy against the USA. Both Russia as well as China as well as some other powerful groups of people have been using that strategy effectively for decades.

Russia and China and many other are willing to invest billions and billion and billions of dollars into attempting to use the USA alliance with Israel to get at the USA.

In a August 24, 2006 article entitled, "Russian Footprints", Ion Mihai Pacepa writes:

By the end of the 1960s, the KGB was deeply involved in mass terrorism against Jews, carried out by various Palestinian client organizations. Here are some terrorist actions for which the KGB took credit while I was still in Romania: November 1969, armed attack on the El Al office in Athens, leaving 1 dead and 14 wounded; May 30, 1972, Ben Gurion Airport attack, leaving 22 dead and 76 wounded; December 1974, Tel Aviv movie theater bomb, leaving 2 dead and 66 wounded; March 1975, attack on a Tel Aviv hotel, leaving 25 dead and 6 wounded; May 1975, Jerusalem bomb, leaving 1 dead and 3 wounded; July 4, 1975, bomb in Zion Square, Jerusalem, leaving 15 dead and 62 wounded; April 1978, Brussels airport attack, leaving 12 wounded; May 1978, attack on an El Al plane in Paris, leaving 12 wounded. ... In 1972, the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the U.S. As KGB chairman Yury Andropov told me, a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on America than could a few millions. We needed to instill a Nazi-style hatred for the Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to turn this weapon of the emotions into a terrorist bloodbath against Israel and its main supporter, the United States. No one within the American/Zionist sphere of influence should any longer feel safe.

• 1970 - Yasser Arafat, the father of modern terrorism:
  
  
  In 1970 the Kremlin became interested in an obscure Arab construction engineer and collector of racecars, named Rahman al-Qudwa. Evidence shows, contrary to later claims, that this "construction engineer" was an Egyptian, born in Cairo during the summer of 1929. Rahman graduated from the University of Cairo and served as an officer in the Egyptian Army during the 1956 Suez campaign. Later he set up a business in Kuwait and made a fortune. He then entered politics, founding a hopelessly small terrorist organization.... According to the former head of Romanian intelligence, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, one of the highest ranking communist defectors of all time, Rahman al-Qudwa became an important political ally of the communist bloc following the death of Egypt's president, Gamal Abdul Nasser, in 1970. Gen. Pacepa's account of Rahman's intimate relations with the communist bloc is related in a book entitled "Red Horizons."... Rahman al-Qudwa is better known as Yasser Arafat, the chairman of the PLO since 1968 and the president of the Palestinian Authority -- which is now at war with Israel. According to Gen. Pacepa's account, communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu ordered his people to bring Arafat over to Romania. In late 1970 the chief of Romanian intelligence in Egypt, Gen. Constantine Munteanu, arrived in Bucharest with Arafat in tow. Munteanu had gathered an extensive file on Arafat, which characterized the PLO leader as "so much cleverness, blood, and filth all together in one man." Pacepa says that this was Munteanu's "standard definition of Arafat."
  Given Gen. Munteanu's extensive file, Arafat could not exactly refuse the communist's "friendly" overtures. There is little question that Arafat is fanatically devoted to destroying Israel, and would sell his soul to the devil to gain his devilish ends. Therefore, a compact between Arafat and the Soviet Union via communist Romania was not something that violated any sacred Islamic rule in Arafat's heart. Arafat is no Moslem. His fanaticism is completely secular. But since he operates within the Islamic world, he must sometimes appear as a would-be Muslim liberator. (“Kremlin puppets and how they work,” J.R. Nyquist, October 19, 2000) (read also Our Lady of the Roses prophecy about one who would come out of Egypt...)
• 1972 - According to Ion Mihai Pacepa, “In 1972, the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the U.S. As KGB chairman Yury Andropov … [said], a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on America than could a few millions. We needed to instill Nazi-style hatred for the Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to turn this weapon … against Israel and its main supporter, the United States.”
• 1973 - Soviet statements and preparations for an attack against Israel led the Pentagon to order U.S. nuclear forces to the highest state of peacetime readiness. The Joint Chiefs of Staff ordered the 82nd Airborne Division to prepare to head to the Middle East, and additional U.S. naval forces -- including American aircraft carriers -- moved into the Mediterranean, all out of a real and rising concern that the Soviets were about to make an unprecedented military move against Israel.
• 1982 - Israeli forces battling PLO terrorists in southern Lebanon unexpectedly uncovered a secret but massive cache of Soviet weaponry in deep underground cellars and tunnels. The storehouses contained some 4,000 tons of ammunition, 144 armored vehicles and tanks, 12,500 pieces of small arms, and 515 heavy weapons. Then-Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin said that the Russians had prepositioned enough weapons to "equip not five brigades, but five or six [Soviet] divisions," adding that "we shall need literally thousands of trucks to evacuate these weapons from Lebanon."

Unconverted Russia and its influence on the Mideast

Osama bin Laden's deputy issued a worldwide call today for Muslims to rise up in holy war against Israel and join the fighting in Lebanon and Gaza, until Islam reigns from "Spain to Iraq". Ayman al-Zawahiri warned that al-Qaida would not stand "idly by, humiliated", as Israeli "shells burn our...

This same strategy is working effectively against BigMedia in the USA and against the USA Democratic Party. Money is being thrown to them to demonize Israel.

That is not true of all of us leftwingers.

Oh great - now you sell yourself off as a left-winger - the same "left-winger" that constantly quotes from "Mein Kampf".

It is the highest merit of the union movement that it abolishes deep-seated social evils and that it attacks physical and mental evils and that it attacks physical and mental infections, thus adding to the general welfare of the national body...

As long as there are amongst the employers people with little social understanding or even lacking a sense of justice and fairness, it is not only the right but even the duty of their employees...to protect the interests of all against the avarice and the unreasonableness of the individual.
