Blaming the Jews
Back in 1982 there were some horrible massacres at two Palestinian refugee
camps in Lebanon. Christian Lebanese Arabs actually did the killing; but
the Israeli army was in the neighborhood, and was responsible, at some
theoretical level for Palestinian civilians in the zone that included the
camps. Because of this, the Israelis took much of the brunt of the world's
outrage at the killings. Commenting on these events, the Israeli Prime
Minister, Menachem Begin, remarked in disgust: "Goyim kill goyim, and they
blame the Jews!" (Derby****re - National Review)
There are Antisemites and conspiracy theorists on various mailing lists
and websites which claim there were no Jews in the World Trade Center
during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, when in fact, hundreds of Jews
perished there and the Simon Wiesenthal Centre re****ts an explosion of
thousands of Antisemitic hate sites on the InterNUT. Israel is not a cause
of any of this, except to the degree that Israeli culture is essentially
Western and hatred of the Jews has been built into Arab-Moslem culture
since the time of Mohammed.
Israel was reborn in 1948 at about the same time that 22 Muslim states
were also established in the region as individually separate and
independent sovereign nation-states - all of them Muslim - but the one
Jewish and secular state which is Israel is the nation which is constantly
condemned as a colonial construction and a "catastrophe" for Muslims.
Because Israel is a haven for oppressed Jews it is criticized for being
too sectarian. Yet all the other states established at about the same time
are Muslim states, which is all right with them - but the one Jewish state
is not.
