Back in early 2024, actors Joaquin Phoenix and Elliott Gould were among the other 151 Hollywood signers of a letter supporting director Jonathan Glazer’s scandalous speech in which, while accepting an International Film category academy award for his movie, “Zone of Interest,” he equated Israel’s forced defensive actions in Gaza—after having endured decades of Arab savagery stemming from that territory—to what Nazis did to Jews in the Holocaust.

The above folks were joined by the best of the best self-hating Hebrews, whom Steven Spielberg chose to be the screenwriter for the very important movie about the Arab slaughter of innocent Israeli Olympians at Munich, Tony Kushner. “Of course” Steven had no other good writers to choose from, correct?
Kushner is well known for repeatedly stating that Israel has no right to exist, regardless of the extent of its boundaries…
And thus the predictable happened when Spielberg’s “Munich” hit the big screen: moral equivalence was conveyed between those Arabs who call themselves “Palestinians,” most of whom, extensive corroborative documentation and evidence show, indeed originated from other surrounding countries and crossed into the original 1920 British Mandate of Palestine due to increased economic development occurring there, and the Jews whom they deliberately sought out for slaughter in early September 1972 at the Olympics in Munich, Germany.
Among those “native ‘Palestinians’” were Sheikh Izz ed-din al-Qassam, from Latakia, Syria, who became Hamas’s virtual patron saint because of his own early butchering of Jews, and for whom Hamas’s Qassam rockets and terror brigades are named.
Somewhat earlier, in the mid-19th century, Egypts’s leader, Muhammad Ali and son Ibrahim Pasha’s army crossed into the weakened Ottoman Turkish-controlled land of Israel/Judaea/Syria Palaestina (as the Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed it in 135 C.E. after hard won fighting in an attempt to stamp out the embers of Jewish hope for freedom and independence forever in Eretz Yisrael), and many native Egyptians subsequently decided to stay and settle there.
A half century or so later, another butcher of Jews, Yasir Arafat, born in Cairo as the above murderous sheikh was born in Syria, entered into the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine as well. By then, however, the Brits had done unto the Jews what they did unto the Kurds in the name of their own colonial petro-political machinations and schemes…
In 1922, almost 80% of the Mandate was lopped off and handed to Arabism (Arab nationalism) by creating the Emirate of Transjordan east of the Jordan River. The Arabs soon made this area Judenrein (Jew Free), contrary to the San Remo Conference, Balfour Declaration, and other guarantees that in the post-World War I era, the hopes and aspirations of many of the Middle East and North Africa’s different peoples would finally be realized after the breakup of the various empires in those and adjacent areas. Jews, Arabs, and others were originally to be able to live in the entire Mandate, clear up to what’s now Iraq, and where much Jewish history was made long before an Arab invaded in the 7th century C.E.
Similarly, after the Mosul Decision in 1925, the much larger British Mandate of Mesopotamia would be turned over solely to Arabism as well—thereby reneging on promises made to millions of native Kurds that they too would, at long last, free themselves of their Arab and Turkish conquerors and gain their own share of justice in the new post war era. Indeed, President Woodrow Wilson’s famous “14 Points” addressed this issue.
The Mosul-Kirkuk region of the former Ottoman Turkish Empire was thus renamed Iraq after 1925. It was oil-rich, the heartland of ancient Kurdish (Guti, Kassite, Hurrian, Mede, etc.) territory, and since the British Royal Navy had recently switched from coal to oil to provide energy for its main arm of imperial power, the Kurds got shafted even more than the Jews did.
Hence, 40 million of Kurds—America’s most loyal friends and allies in the region besides Israel, remain stateless to date, with Turks, Arabs, and Iranians taking turns, gassing, otherwise massacring, torturing, and imprisoning them…denying the Kurdish people their own language and culture as they’ve been renamed “Mountain Turks,” their children forced to sing songs in school proclaiming their “Arab” identity in Syria, and so forth. Professor Ismet Cherif Vanly’s book, which I often like to cite, “The Syrian (Arab) Mein Kampf Against the Kurds” needs no further elaboration…
Score, to date: Arabs almost two dozen independent nations—most conquered and forcibly Arabized and Islamized from other native, pre-Arab peoples—and almost everyone else in the region, “0.”
Yet, given all of the facts above, the Arabs’ useful, pathetic, Hollywood Hebrew and other useful idiots, who probably know very little if anything mentioned so far, can’t seem to figure out that when ANY nation—let alone that of the most persecuted people Planet Earth has ever known—is gruesomely attacked, by a supremacist, rejectionist Arab organization whose very raison d’etre is the obliteration of the sole, minuscule, miraculously resurrected nation of Israel Reborn, the victimized nation has a moral and legal obligation to seek out and bring to absolute justice (i.e., kill) those who microwaved and beheaded it infants; tied families together and set them afire; gang raped and mutilated Jewish females of all ages; kidnapped about 250 teenagers and other young and older people attending a concert, and then murdered most others after abusing them in captivity.
As in the movie “Munich,” screen written for Spielberg by the allegedly Jewish equivalent of the talentless Michael Moore (“Israel is among the three greatest evils on Earth”), Tony Kushner, what is happening in Gaza right now is out of his ability to truly comprehend. His vitriolic hatred of his own “Jewish” non-identity, and of Israel as the Jew of the Nations, simply blinds him—and shame on the otherwise amazing Steven Spielberg, of Schindler’s List, War Horse, Prince of Egypt, Indiana Jones, ET-Extra Terrestrial, and so forth, for not knowing this.
When pursuing a cowardly enemy who repeatedly commits wanton atrocities, and then runs back to crowded urban civilian areas to hide amidst its own women and children, Israel has no choice but to proceed anyway…as cautious as possible, but with determination to finally—after putting up with decades of blown up civilian buses, pizzerias, ice cream parlors, Passover Seders, beautifully nurtured forests and wildlife conservation areas and farmland deliberately set ablaze, pregnant women deliberately shot in their abdomens at close range, etc. and so forth—put an end to this nightmare.
And for this the assorted morons in Tinseltown vilify it…
One more time, for those whose skulls are too thick for the obvious to penetrate, or for the Jew-haters—non-Hebrew and Hebrew alike—to at last perhaps finally absorb:
There is absolutely no moral equivalence between any nation which has been deliberately brutalized by an enemy whose very charter calls for its total obliteration, including that of its people, and who, in addition with the vast majority of most other Arabs openly state that no other peoples but themselves have any political (or often even basic human) rights at all in what they refer to as “purely Arab patrimony,” an inseparable part of the Dar ul-Islam that was forcibly conquered and settled by waves of invading Arab and Arabized/Islamized Turkish conquerors from the 7th century C.E. onwards, and a nation defending itself from such barbarity.
Few want to see innocents die. I can’t say that, however, about Israel’s assorted enemies. Unfortunately, however, it’s usually those people who do so when war occurs.
Is there ANY DOUBT among reasonable minds how the current war in Hamas-controlled Gaza started? Does it really need to be repeated for the millionth time?
Hamas was elected to power by Arab civilians in a free election two decades ago supervised by none other than Israel hating ex-President Jimmy “Apartheid Israel” Carter, knowing full well that Hamas’s charter calls for Israel and its Jews total elimination.
For further enlightenment about how the above plays out, for starters, take a look at some of the photos (and these are the “mild ones”) Arabs—Hamas, Civilians, UNRWA employees, etc.)—posted on the internet in the analysis below. Be sure to read the essential two internal links as well since they will clarify much about the overall Arab-Israeli conflict, along with that in Gaza and Judaea and Samaria (not renamed “West Bank’until the 20th century C.E.)…
To get an idea of what the Hebrew and other Arab Useful idiots haven’t a clue, please take careful note of what West Point’s highly respected expert on urban warfare, John Spencer writes next…
Finally, Israel does not require anyone to lecture it about the need to limit suffering to its opponent civilian population.
But it ought to be remembered that when war erupts, and one party set on the extermination of the other party invades and butchers innocents in horrendous bloodlust, that party’s civilians’ lives don’t take precedent over the lives of those pursuing the perpetrators of mass atrocities.
Far more than America, Great Britain, Russia, France, Belgium, Japan, China, or anyone else has EVER done, Israel’s Jews have done everything humanly possible to limit the losses of too many not so “innocent” Arab civilians who aided and abetted Hamas and Islamic Jihad and even took part in the wanton murders.
Israel dropped millions of leaflets, cell phone calls and texts were made and sent, etc. and so forth thereby telegraphing Israel’s punch—something insane for an army trying to catch an enemy by surprise—in order to give civilians time to get out of harm’s way.
It lost many of its own sons and daughters trying to spare enemy civilians’s lives.
What other military has EVER done this?
Yet the Jew of the Nations gets vilified anyway—after burying a thousand of its best, who went into house after booby-trapped house seeking the cowardly bastards who took delight in slaughtering their people. They represent the equivalent of about 37,000 American soldiers sacrificed so far. This is in addition to the almost equivalent of 39,000 American civilians massacred on Simchat Torah (the Holy Day commemorating the giving of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible—the Torah and its Ten Commandments), October 7, 2023.
Yitgadal v’it kadash Sh’mai raba… Glorified and sanctified be G_d’s name throughout the world.
May their memory be a blessing, and may most Arabs and other jihadi Islamists undergo a massive change in attitude and action so that the rights and aspirations of others besides themselves might also be realized in the vast and culturally diverse region of the Middle East and Africa—and adjacent areas as well, so that the suffering of all peoples—Arab and non-Arab alike—may finally either end or at least be significantly decreased.
Thanks for another fine essay! May many people, ignorant of the facts, read and digest the truth. Am Yisroel Chai!
Excellently illustrated! I’d even say the author was too kind! The enemy doesn’t deserve any quarter!Bravo!
“By then, however, the Brits had done unto the Jews what they did unto the Kurds in the name of their own colonial petro-political machinations and schemes…. ”
And what the Brits, America and Europe are currently doing to the Russian people using as proxy the Banderaism Nazi scourge against Jews and Russians.
But the writer omits that and nails his colours to Stepan Bandera
Some will say look at Russia and Iran but I say a drowning man will catch at any straw
