(Oct. 25, 2023) — A young person comes home from college vehemently declaring that it was the Jews who beheaded babies in Palestine! There are mass demonstrations in and around our great universities! What in tarnation! Did I get some dystopian Nazi movie instead of my usual cable news? Is Hitler alive and well and broadcasting from some pirate satellite with some kind of mind-control ray? And calling Jews Nazis? I can’t make this up.
Things are bad enough as it is. Clearly Hamas attacked Jews outside Gaza, not the reverse – and in a manner beyond all civilized norms. The situation in Israel/Palestine is impossible. Two bodies cannot occupy the same place at the same time – without merging.
Jews and Muslims lived together in the Ottoman province of Palestine until 1918. During the “Great War” it was promised both as a bribe to the Arabs and as a homeland to the Jews. Then the southern part became a British Mandate (the rest Syria under France), Jewish people began buying land and ethnic trouble began. When the Jews were slaughtered and driven out of Europe, they flocked to their ancestral homeland. Bloody three-sided partisan activity followed. The worn-out British Empire arranged the UN partition and independence of Israel and Jordan in 1948. Every self-respecting Muslin nation from Morocco to Iraq attacked Israel. Israel, despite being mostly unarmed and massively outnumbered, won. Her enemies refused to make peace, even though thoroughly beaten. This has happened again and again ever since.
Most Arab states have accepted at least an unspoken truce, but not Palestinian terror groups like Hamas. Not only are they encouraged by Iran and others, but every generation of their sons is drilled in mortal and suicidal hatred for Israel. They will continue until the last terrorist dies trying to kill the last Jew. So here we are: these sons cannot live with Israel and Israel cannot live with these sons. Israel offers them many good things – jobs, prosperity, education, freedom – but only death or genocide will satisfy. No doubt the majority of Gaza could be happy as Israeli citizens – millions of Palestinians are already. Thousands are Christians, for example, taught not to hate. But Israel cannot live in safety with Hamas. Where else can we put Israel?
Clearly repressed antisemitism is just as widespread as it was in the 1930s. Why!?? In American universities? Among progressive elite professors and students? This is as much a surprise attack to most Americans as to Israel. Nazi Jews? God have mercy!
Obviously, antisemitism is more than a natural phenomenon.
Today’s Word: “He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.” Isaiah 2:4. Come, Lord Jesus – soon!

Don’t get sucked in to their decades long war of bigotry & hate – that’s what the oligarchs want. This is the perfect tool to divide the USA. Way too many have fallen for their propaganda! We have our own serious problems here: unsecured borders, illegals invading, drugs killing our youth, homelessness, declining infrastructure, declining education, growing poverty+unemployment, growing totalitarian govt. Stop falling for their stupid plight, quit funding both sides – it’s futile & they know it, they are playing you as a fool.
The US’ job is to call Israel off before the Mohammedeans are annilhated.
It will be interesting to see if this makes it past the moderators.
Neither side is blameless. While the Palestinian terror groups are barbaric in their attacks on the jews, could care less about collateral damage to people and property, hide behind civilians and violate every principal of the koran. The jews are just as bad but seek to control people and espicially their wealth in a much more subtle ways. There is a reason that the jews have been expelled from at least 109 countries over time. This is due to their undermining of their host countries and their view that every non-jewish human on earth are considered “goyim” or human cattle, no better than any other animal and exist only to serve and entertain them (read all three books of the torah for the truth). The founding fathers of the US knew this and if you have read the federalist papers, you will see that they wanted to control the number of jews that entered the country. If you look at what remains of the US, you will see that jews completely dominate all forms of media, the banking system, health care and are in background controlling positions of power in almost every corporation and government entity.
Even if all of the above is true, it does not justify what occurred on October 7 nor any other act of terrorism anywhere. Is “completely dominat[ing] all forms of media, the banking system, health care and are in background controlling positions of power in almost every corporation and government entity” “just as bad” as murdering and dismembering men, women and children in their beds?

You use 37 words to justify your attack on the Jewish people. Me thinks you are nothing but a Jew hater who needs forgiveness for your treatment of GOD’s chosen people. I suspect you read the Torah (old Bible testament) at one of our institutions of higher indoctrination. BTW, in my opinion, what trolls have to say should not be censored as they provide evidence of my sanity.
