Diagnosing the Anti-Jew

On Sunday, 1 March in Bet Shemesh, a missile built and launched in Iran by the gentiles there crashed down not on an enemy’s military camp or installation but randomly in a residential area, slamming into a synagogue with an air raid shelter built beneath it. The synagogue was destroyed and 9 of the 30 Jews within the shelter were murdered.

One was 13-year-old Sarah Biton, her 15-year-old sister Avigail and their brother Yaakov, 16. Their parents survived with one other of their four children.

Mr. Yossi Cohen was also murdered; his now widowed wife Pnina was seriously injured and their three-year-old son too.

Another Jew, 16-year-old Gabriel Baruch Revah, also perished.

Some 20 of the other Jews inside were also injured but survived.

In addition, outside the shelter, seven other Jews were murdered.

Now, of course, in the world-wide media, the reports did not use the words “murdered” and did not call the victims “Jews,” just people. But, of course, this episode was just another in thousands of years of “gentiles” murdering Jews; not that the MSM would ever use that word either.

But that is what is going in the Jews’ Promised Land. In this case, it has nothing to do with their alleged theft of Palestine from the verbal hologram of the “Palestinians.” That is the current disguise for Jew-hatred, a fake national identity.

On the contrary, the gentiles in Iran who built and fired that missile hate the very idea of Jews returning to their Promised Land and bringing it back to life.

The violence against the Zionist project following the inaugural Basle Conference of 1897 until the 1960s had absolutely nothing to do with any community calling themselves “Palestinians.” On the contrary, following the League of Nations’ invention of a jurisdiction call Palestine in 1922 explicitly calling Palestine the “historic homeland” of the Jews, the gentiles in the region murderously protested the very idea of a country called Palestine. The Muslims never knew of a country with that name.

The Ottoman Empire that ruled the Promised Land for four centuries never had such a map of a country with that name. What today are known as the states of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Israel came to life in what had been for millennia one vast, undifferentiated expanse of Syria. Indeed, in 1920, the leader of the Muslims in Eretz Yisrael, the Grand Mufti in Jerusalem, motored up to Damascus for the celebratory crowning of the Hedjazi Arab Faisal bin Hussein bin Ali al-Hashim as King of Syria in which, from time immemorial, Damascus had been known as Syria’s principal city, which is why it became the capital of the modern state of Syria in 1946.

Only after March 29, 1959, did the fabrication of a “Palestinian” national identity come to life when Egypt’s reigning “Pharaoh” Gamel Abdel Nasser, as head of the Arab League of States, suggested during their annual conclave that the generic “Arab refugees” in the UNWRA refugee camps be rebranded “Palestinian refugees,” and never mind the dominant majority of them were migrant laborers from all over Araby who penetrated Palestine in the Mandatory period looking for work, then fled behind Arab lines during the fighting in 1948-49, with nothing “Palestinian” about them.

It is an “urban legend” that the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood-raised Yasir Arafat invented the “Palestinian identity” on the advice of the Soviet KGB. No, it was Nasser who in 1959 had already for five years been supporting the terrorist rebellion in Algeria whose Muslims cleverly chose to abandon their “Islamic” vocabulary against the infidel French and recast their revolt as a “war of national liberation.” Their principal terror group called themselves the FLN (Front for National Liberation) who were smart enough to know they would receive no support in Europe for fighting a religious war/jihad and thus couched their propaganda in Western political terms, so Nasser thought it would be a good idea to recast the war against the Jews in similar terms i.e. on behalf of a Third World nation colonized and victimized by Western imperialists.

But underneath, the war against Israel has always been religious, prosecuted by the Muslims and assisted by Western media that never labels the victims “Jews” but just “people” and always reports those slain as “killed” but never “murdered.”

And that behavior results from a basic paralysis: the inability to feel pity for Jews when persecuted and abused. There is a connection between the satanic behavior of the Muslims on October 7 shamelessly, publicly bent on murdering all the Jews in Israel (and world-wide) and the almost immediate reflex on October 8 of smearing them as bent on the genocide of the “Palestinians”!

That day in the UK and the US, video captured the identical behavior of Jeremy Corbyn in London and Rashida Tlaib in Washington. In each city, a journalist pursued these two asking for a response to what happened the day before, to which both refused to say anything and behaved as if the journalist was not even there.

Pity for the Jews horribly treated is an impossibility for such types. If they suffer, they deserve it because they are the guilt-bearers. They deserve every cruel thing done to them. It is a way of refusing to respect the mutual humanity of Jews but otherworldly creatures

Here is another example: Mrs. Rama Duwaji Mamdani, wife of New York City’s mayor, referenced an illustration in an essay by an author who has frequently written of “Jewish supremacist vampires” and Israeli Jews as “rootless soulless ghouls.”

This Psychology 101; classical psychological projection; like Hitler who believed the Jews wanted to kill all Germans and rule the world, and never mind the Nazi song, Heute Deutschland, Morgen die Ganze Welt’ (Today Germany, tomorrow the world.) Not him, not Adolf who wanted to murder all the Jews and rule die Ganze Welt.

Calling Jews “rootless” is also an excellent specimen of what Jew-hatred does to the otherwise rational mind. There is no people on earth more rooted to a particular land, whose roots in their land are thousands of years old. No other nation in the world can make that claim. They are the only people in the world today speaking the same language and practicing the same religion as their ancestors thousands of years ago in the same country.

And as for “ghouls.” It is a transliteration of an Arabic word for an imaginary, zombie-like, folkloric creature who feeds on dead bodies.

Likewise, calling Jews “vampires,” is also rooted in gentile folklore, versus Jews who cringe at the very thought of imbibing even animal, let alone, human blood.

Last example: Israel is less than 80% Jews, the rest mostly Arabs, versus the 21 Arab states that since 1948 have been virtually empty of Jews. And it is Israel that is called an apartheid society.

The war against Israel is not a normal war over land and the economic wealth of natural resources but Islam’s religious jihad. It is against the Jews’ desire to live in a Jewish majority state and no longer as in their diasporic history as a minority in majority gentile states that abused them; versus Islam’s Koran that commands Believers to “oppress and humiliate” them.

And this is why every “peace plan” since 1922 and the creation of a jurisdiction called Palestine that recognized the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine” and the “grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country has failed.

Israel’s PR has long been judged anemic in large part because it has never gone to war with the verbal hologram of the “Palestinians” and their imaginary “rights” to a state on what the League of Nations’ Mandate, and the UN Charter of 1945 incorporated, recognized as Jewish land.
