We often hear: “If only I Israel would return the ‘occupied territories’, peace would reign.” Or: “If only Israel would be more receptive to world opinion …” or “If only Israel would stop building new settlements …” or “If only Israel would roll over and die …” ad infinitum. Liberals, leftists and assorted other bleeding-heart anti-Semites usually justify their own racism by claiming that Israel alone is at fault for their own, and the world’s, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic ranting. (The three “antis” are usually cloaked in milder wording.)
Israel? In 1945, long before Israel even existed, the Arab League declared an official boycott of “Jewish products and manufactured goods” in an effort to strangle the Jewish population in the then British Mandate Palestine. http://www.enotes.com/topic/Arab_League_boycott_of_Israel In fact, the first official boycott of Jews and Zionists by the Arabs began way back in 1922, when there were no “green lines”, no occupied territories, no settlements, no Israel. All there was was bubbling Arab racist anti-Semitism.
Nothing new under the sun.
Well, perhaps there is. incipient, latent anti-Semitism has since become popular for leftist radicals who love to explain: “… it’s got nothing to do with Jews or Judaism. We’re just supporting the Arabs. Some of our best friends are Jews. If only Israel blah blah blah …” Yeah, sure.
The west’s thirst for Arab oil blinds these people. They’ll lick ass as long as it ensures uninterrupted oil supplies.
Anti-Semitism is the lowest, most base form of racism. The self-appointed liberal liberators should stop kidding themselves. They are as racist as the apartheid racists of the old South Africa. They are as racist as the white supremacists in 1950s Mississippi. They are as racist as the neo-Nazi skinheads of today.
Racist anti-Semitism has no place in today’s world.
“Nothing New Under the Sun.”
I agree. Historically, the state of Israel has never lasted long, as we will once again end up in pieces with the idiocy of their rulers?
Quite right, but once again, naked ant-semitism
