Once again, a predictable tragedy that was
predicted many times over, has unfolded a year ago.
On the anniversary of the event, the
Jewish editors of the New York Daily News wrote a piece under the title: “Old
hate in new bottle,” and the subtitle: “Anti-Semitism is resurgent in America.”
The editorial was published on October 27, 2019 in the Daily News.
The essence of the piece reflects this
message: “A man walked into a synagogue to kill Jews … It is incumbent on all
Americans to face the depressing fact that anti-Semitism is resurgent … The man
was among those who fancy themselves soldiers in a civil war”.
There was not even a hint in that piece as
to why anti-Semitism is resurgent in America in the eyes of the editors, or how
to start correcting the situation. For a discussion that attempts to do just
that, we need to go to an article that was published three days earlier. It was
on October 24, 2019 that Melissa Landa published her article under the title:
“In Rochester and Elsewhere, Jewish Organizations Must Forcefully Fight
Anti-Zionists,” a work that was printed in Algemeiner.
And this prompts the readers to puzzle
about a number of questions, such as: “How do these people fight anti-Zionists
forcefully? Whom do they consider to be anti-Zionists? How does anti-Zionism
relate to anti-Semitism?” and a few other related questions. In trying to make
sense of all this, the first thing that comes to mind is the reality that as
long as the Jews were denying they planned to swallow all of Palestine, they
maintained the claim that their only concern was to fight the spread of
anti-Semitism.
What happened subsequently was that their
confidence was boosted when Donald Trump moved the American embassy from Tel
Aviv to Jerusalem. That's when the Jews abandoned the denial that they coveted
all of Palestine, and started attacking those who would suggest that the Jews
have no right to swallow all of Palestine. Since this principle is at the core
of what the Zionists have been dreaming about all along, the Jews linked
anti-Zionism to anti-Semitism, and started to go full-force defending Zionism
while attacking anyone who would suggest that the Palestinians have any right
at all to any part of Palestine.
Meanwhile, saddened by the unfairness
which “Christians United For Israel (CUFI)” is heaping on the Palestinian
people, a number of churches and ordinary citizens in the Rochester, New York
area got together and founded an organization called “Christians Witnessing for
Palestine (CW4P.)” It gave itself the mandate of working to alleviate CUFI's
brutal and relentless work, which consists of stirring the hatred of American
officials against the people of Palestine.
And this is where the Jewish response to
the work of CW4P should fill impartial observers with plenty of insight as to
how the Jews have become and continue to be the architects of their own misery.
Reading about their work, you’ll see that instead of responding in a civilized
manner to CW4P's holding a film festival that communicates the Palestinian
point of view, Melissa Landa's “Alliance for Israel” has used a cowardly and
brutal method to respond; a method that is familiar to me.
To tell my story briefly, the way that the
Jews have been fighting me for half a century, was to go behind my back scaring
anyone that might give me a break, telling them stories they dredged out of the
Jewish sewer. They did so while threatening, cajoling, bribing, blackmailing
and warning of serious consequences anyone who would dare to help me. And this
is how I was forced to formulate in my mind the theory that these things cannot
be human beings. I thought of them as cowardly and filthy animals––pure and
simple. And here is what Melissa Landa says she did:
“My Alliance for Israel colleagues and I
made several attempts to engage the festival's stakeholders. We spoke to the
theater's management, who explained that they rented the space to the festival
organizers and signed a contract, which they could not break. We contacted the
Downtown Presbyterian Church, which CW4P lists as its fiscal sponsor, but the
reverend stated that he was not aware of the content of the films and was in no
position to influence the festival in any way. We used an online form to send messages
to the festival organizers. Our messages included suggestions of other films
that offered a [different] viewpoint. We received no response. Christians
Witnessing for Palestine articulates its alignment with the pro-BDS group
Jewish Voice for Peace”.
That is, instead of choosing the civilized
method of refuting the Palestinian message while articulating their own so that
it may stand beside that of the Palestinians, thus give the public the
opportunity to judge the merit of each and decide what to do next, the Jews
dipped their arm into the sewer once more, and tried to dredge the kind of
filth that has been sending them to the gas chamber and the incinerator time
after time.
These characters went behind the Palestinians, and have attempted to stir the hatred of the people they work with, to scuttle the work that the Palestinians do as they try to tell their story in their own words.
