One of the things the left is desperately downplaying as it demands that Israel allow Hamas and its supporters to go unpunished and, ideally, cede to the Arabs the entire land of Israel is the fact that the surrounding Arab nations are refusing to take Gazans in as refugees. The reason is that nobody wants these “Palestinian” Arabs who have proven to be as destructive to Arab nations as they are to Israel.
When Barack Obama’s policies triggered the disastrous Arab Spring, with massive upheaval in the Muslim lands of Africa and the Middle East, Europe opened its doors to refugees from those wars. Europe did this even though its cultural connection to these refugees was minimal to nonexistent. It was, the Europeans felt, the right thing to do. (It’s also proved to have been a remarkably stupid thing to do, as Enoch Powell predicted, but that’s another story.)
Here in America, we’re told that our border is meaningless because we have a moral obligation to welcome in refugees from around the world—and not even refugees from war. Just refugees from places these migrants don’t like very much.
We are required to accept their poverty and pathology, their sex trafficking and gangs. That these people have no cultural connection to America and do not share the core values that are the only thing binding one American to another is irrelevant. We must do this, we’re told, because it’s the right thing to do. (And as happened to Europe, we will soon learn that it was a remarkably stupid thing to do, but that’s also another story.)
Intriguingly, no one in the Muslim world seems to be burdened with this moral sense that the right thing for them to do is take in their co-religionists from Gaza. After all, Hamas is telling the world that thousands of Gazans have already died and that tens of thousands more will die. Yet no one wants them.
Of course, Hamas doesn’t want them to leave, a policy it’s enforcing with ever-increasing, murderous brutality:
We can understand why Hamas doesn’t want civilians to leave: Its greatest weapon in any war is propaganda, and there is no propaganda more effective than dead bodies purportedly killed at Israeli hands.
But again, why won’t the surrounding Arab nations—which have a lot of empty land—take in these downtrodden, huddled masses purportedly yearning to breathe free?
Well, it’s because they’re horrible. Think Rashida Tlaib multiplied by a couple of million. That’s the message in a powerful short video from The Liberty Daily, which looks to history to explain why Muslims hate those “Palestinian” Arabs:
By the way, if you’re wondering why I’ve started using scare quotes around “Palestinians,” here’s the reason: History shows that the name, which implies a tie to the land going back millennia, is a lie. These people have no historical ties to a place Rome conquered in 70 A.D. and then named in honor of the Jews’ ancient—and vanished—enemy, the Philistines. That colonial name lingered for another 1,800-plus years.Significantly, almost all the current Arab residents have roots that go back, at most, a couple of hundred years. They styled themselves as “Palestinians” only in the 1960s while working with the Soviets during the Cold War. To the extent the implications of the name are dishonest…scare quotes. As the left repeatedly shows, words and names matter, so let’s get the names right. Confucius would approve.
Because without the “poor suffering Palestinians” there will be no thorn in Israel’s side and the Arab-Israeli conflict will eventually fizzle out, and the Arab countries need to perpetuate this conflict to realize their dream of getting rid of Israel and the Jews.
The West has the same dream.
In the 1930s its Great White Hope for the final solution were Germans, now it is Arabs (the door into Europe was opened a crack to them, and then wider and wider after the Six Day War in 1967).
VIVARTO-and TANNA-
Indeed the term “Jew” WAS used as an epithet and denigration, not only to Jews but others. They were painted with a distinctly unfavourable personality, caused by Christian persecution and accusations about Jesus, by having been forced into moneylending by the Goyim, Having been the PROPERTY of a variety of Mediaeval rulers, and Much More. They had distinct (illusory) appearances, noses, curly greasy black hair, lisps, hooded eyes, and more. AND they were circumcised. and plotted agelessly to Rule The World.
“Jewish” was used as being less offensive, even by Jews themselves.
But the Millenia old term Jew,(Biblical “Yahud”) today is a PROUD ONE, and I personally have Always used it, and in my boxing days wore a Magen David on my shorts .from desire.
So I am against your proposition. Besides it is just one of those things which will never change. A Jew is a Jew is a Jew. No longer, except amongst the ignorant , a denigration.
Vivarto, you might just be on to something. the Jewish people should collectively refer to themselves as Israelites. The video in this article, If I am not mistaken does not tell all the story of this event it speaks of. If I am not mistaken it was this “Jordanians getting fed up”, where the order was given to not only open up fire on the Palestinians, but they used 50 caliber machine guns on them. What a mess, that creates. This was told to me by an old man in J & S, years ago.
In Exo. chapter 6, Hashem tells Moses that the land is the heritage / inheritance of the children of Israel. Guess what Palestine Jew haters. You did not give it and you can’t take it away. Your ignorant leaders will continue to feed your children to the beast of war, until you wake up. In v. 8 – 9. God gave the land as a possession. Moses told the children of Israel and they did not listen. The Israeli’s are still not listening. It’s your land, take it!
@EvRe
That was the case most of Israel’s history.
By now, many governments would happily ally themselves with Israel, but their populations does not allow them.
@ms45143
There are innocents, and it is the tragedy of the war that they are killed.
The only moral justification is that not killing innocents while fighting the Nazis would mean losing to the Nazis…
Indeed names matter.
We, should no longer use the word “Jew”.
Is should be considered ugly and offensive just like the word “Nigger”.
Instead, we should call ourselves ISRAELITES (not Israelis which is citizenship).
Jew has connotations of greedy, cunning, and traitor. It associates strongly with Judas who according to Christian mythology betrayed their peculiar “Savior”.
Jew is also associated with religion rather than nation, so that it sounds like a some Russian and Ukrainian religious fanatics got the stupid idea that they are Choosen People of God, went to Palestine, and took the country away from the native “Palestinians”. They justify their land-thef with their belief that God gave them the land.
Very different when nation of Israelites return to their native land of Israel.
There are no “innocents” in a war. Citizens will support their country no matter how evil its government is (as Germans supported Germany and the Russians supported Russia). They are all the enemy that Israel should eradicate. If Israel leaves this population intact in Gaza, the young will grow into adults who will again wage war against Israel, whether under Hamas or another terrorist group.
@EvRe
The video is true but it ignores another factor. The Arabs want Israel to choke on the “refugees”. The Arabs don’t want anyone to take the refugees off Israel’s hands.
Thank you for this video. It is very important history. It seems that the leaders of the US have worked very hard to hide these truths from Americans. At least Britain had Enoch Powell who spoke up courageously and honestly about the mass immigration of dependents and the effects it would have on England.
I think the leaders of the US, England, and Europe have either not planned for how they will solve the problems of mass immigration of Muslims or they have allowed this mass immigration purposely to destroy the Judeo-Christian culture of these countries.
Israel is the frontline of this issue: the Muslims have attacked innocent people, both Jews (and their own Muslim people), directly, brutally, and with a sense of righteous fervor. The attackers are people who would be in prison for murder in another country but roam free in Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon, just waiting for orders to kill as many Jews as they can.
There has been much discussion of the treatment of “civilians” in war. How can it be determined who is a civilian and who is a member of armed conflict either in Gaza or Judea and Samaria?
The video shown above implies that this term “civilian” is useless when it comes to the Palestinian people because they all believe that it is their responsibility as Muslims to commit holy war (jihad) on infidels, and that means murder. It is not just their right, it is their responsibility. In essence there are no civilians in a culture that teaches all its people that they must kill Jews and Christians in order to be good Muslims.
Why are humanitarian corridors, supplies, and trucks delivering supplies needed for civilians if there are no civilians? What if all the people who have fled for safety are merely the reserve force in the war on the Jews after those in Gaza are killed or imprisoned?
The countries demanding that Israel provide for these so-called civilians are part of the INFORMATION WAR against Israel. The demand implies that these people are innocent and that somehow they are Israel’s responsibility. Neither of these things are true, but by making these demands on Israel and by Israel agreeing to these demands, Israel is agreeing to their propaganda against Israel.
I realize Israel is agreeing to these humanitarian demands to avoid international censure. But the fact is, Israel will be censured NO MATTER WHAT ISRAEL DOES.
Israel didn’t start this war. Israel didn’t want this war. Hamas and Iran started the war and the so-called civilians amongst the so-called Palestinians are the responsibility of Hamas and Iran.
I would like to see Israel proceed as Israel wants, disregarding the information war coming from b’chutz l’a’aretz.
