Jonah Goldberg has an article in National Review Online
under the title: “The West's Gaza ”
and the subtitle: “No one in the West wants a long struggle with jihadism. The
problem is the enemy always gets to vote.” It was published on August 13, 2014.
Most of the article discusses what has come to be called
jihadism, Islamic terrorism and such. Goldberg sees that as a long war between
the Muslim World and the West. He then throws an idea at the very end in which he
says this: “No one in the West wants a generational struggle with Jihadism any
more than Israel wants
perpetual war with Hamas in Gaza .”
Whatever that means, it would be a good idea for people to
remember how it all started, and why the events developed the way they did. And
let everyone judge for themselves if Jonah Goldberg is trying to elucidate the
subject or confuse it more than it is already.
Hungry to build a nation of their own that would be modeled
after what they saw and learned in Egypt , the Hebrews decided to loot
the country that fed them and nurture them during all those centuries. Not only
that, they also murdered its children before fleeing with what they could carry
to a place reputed to be a land of milk and honey. They called their flight out
of Egypt
the Exodus, a day they say has marked their beginning as a nation; a day they
have been celebrating every year since then under the name Passover.
Although there is not a hint in the well document history of
ancient Egypt that any of the stories they are relaying are true, the Hebrews
compiled them into a book that became their official history; more importantly
their religion too. And while they view the stories as dogma that cannot be
questioned, and consider the book their sacred bible, the rest of humanity
views the whole thing as a compilation of wishes that became so entrenched,
they turned into delusions now standing behind every decision that the Jews
make, and every action they take.
The Hebrews, calling themselves Israelites, did not do well
in the land of milk and honey from which they were kicked out. They settled
everywhere in the known world at the time, including Europe where they started
a campaign of verbal terrorism against Egypt . By now they were calling
themselves Jews, and started telling the Europeans they built the Egyptian
Civilization, including the Pyramids. What the Europeans did not know at the
time was that the Hebrews did not get into Egypt till a time between 1,000 and
1,500 years after the construction of those magnificent edifices in a
Civilization that had been around for something like 5,000 years already.
The Jews did not do better in Europe where they were pushed
around from one place to the other till the Brits found a place outside of
Europe where they could dump them, and make them someone else's responsibility.
Unfortunately, that place turned out to be Palestine ,
which is next door to Egypt .
Palestine being
their colony, the Brits started taking in the Jews in a manner that was
orderly. But being who they are, the Jews could not wait to perform terrorism,
their favorite pastime. They terrorized both the colonial British government
and the Palestinian peasants, many of whom they murdered, looting their
properties and stealing their lands.
Faithful to their method of operation, the Jews of Israel
contacted the banned Muslim Brothers in Egypt , offering them support if
they would return the favor. Indications exist to the effect that a protocol of
cooperation was established between the two. Another thing the Israelis did was
to create the Palestinian Hamas movement and trained it to attack Yasser
Arafat's Fatah movement. They also established a linkage between Hamas of
Palestine and the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt.
