Henry Kopel plunged into the pool of self-delusion he dug for himself and shouted for the whole world to hear his eureka! He believes he discovered why all of humanity is bad, and only the Jews are good.
To explain his theory, Kopel began by stating
that genocide such as that of the Uyghurs in China and the Rohingya in Myanmar,
have at their roots the same cause as that which motivates the terrorism of
Hamas, Hezbollah and al Qaeda in the Middle East. The cause, he says, is the
political correctness which cancels you without giving you the opportunity to
respond to the one-sided arguments leveled against you and against what you
stand for.
To buttress his argument, Kopel gave these
examples:
“From Nazi Germany in the 1930s to al Qaeda,
Hezbollah, and Hamas outposts in the 1990s, the local public discourse is
flooded with a tsunami of hate propaganda, while more peaceful
counternarratives are brutally suppressed … This explains the deluge of hate
propaganda that preceded the Nazi, Serbian, Rwandan, and virtually all other
genocides. It also explains why the highest per capita production of terrorists
occurs in the region most deeply saturated with ideological hate incitement
through its state-controlled schools and media: the Middle East”.
Kopel added that his discovery thoroughly
refutes the conventional wisdom which goes as follows:
“Conventional wisdom blames genocides on
‘ancient hatreds’ and explains terrorism as a response to both poverty and the
legacy of Western colonialism. These popular causation theories are profoundly
wrong … One significant clue to the causation puzzle is the fact that virtually
all campaigns of genocide and terrorism are preceded and accompanied by massive
outputs of ‘us-versus-them’ hate propaganda, which targets the eventual victims”.
But the truth is that there never was a China
hate campaign against the Uyghurs or a Myanmar hate campaign against the
Rohingya. Whatever happened in these places happened for reasons that Kopel
does not understand and did not explain. In fact, his characterization of
what’s happening to the Uyghurs as being a genocide, is demonstrably false. It
is that 65 Arab and Muslim countries investigated these accusations and found
them to be politically motivated bogus.
On the other hand, indications point to the
fact that there may have been an anti-Tutsi hate campaign during the Rwandan
civil war. Although the campaign was so faint as to be hardly detected, some
people argue that it played a major role in the genocide of the Tutsis. And
while this may be true of the Rwandan civil war, no indication of a hate
campaign surfaced with regard to the Yugoslavian civil war. Yes, a genocide did
happen there, but no hate campaign preceded it.
As to the Middle East, Henry Kopel lumps
together Hamas, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda. What’s wrong with this, is that al
Qaeda was formed, financed and armed by the late American President Ronald
Reagan for the specific purpose of terrorizing the Soviets. It was only when Reagan
double-crossed the Qaeda leaders after they did the job for him, that they
decided to exact revenge by attacking America.
As to Hamas and Hezbollah, it was Israel that
made them. It formed, financed and armed Hamas for the specific purpose of
terrorizing Yasser Arafat’s Fatah organization. But instead of doing that, the
leaders of Hamas fought the Jewish settlers and the Israeli army units that
were protecting them in the Gaza Strip. Hamas kept fighting till it kicked the
Jews out of the Strip.
The story of Hezbollah is different. What
happened was that Israel invaded Lebanon to finish off the Palestinians in that
country. While there, the Israelis convinced the vulnerable Lebanese peasants
of the Christian faith that a new Judeo-Christian alliance was forming in
America. Its purpose, said the Jews, was to invade the Muslim world, massacre
the Muslims who will not convert to Christianity, and make the Arab lands safe
for Jews and Christians. With this kind of stories, the Israelis were able to
convince the Lebanese Christians that they should form an army and stand with
the Jews against their Muslim compatriots. This is what motivated the Lebanese
Muslims to respond by forming Hezbollah — which
translates into English as the Party of God.
Whereas there have been genocidal acts
committed against defenseless people in the modern era, you’ll find that they
were committed in Asia (Cambodia and Myanmar), in Sub-Saharan Africa (Rwanda)
and in Europe (Yugoslavia) but never in an Arab country — with one exception. It was the wholesale massacre of Palestinians and
Shia Lebanese by the Jews and their newly recruited Christians. It happened in
South Lebanon in a place called Sabra and Shatila.
So then, what does hate propaganda
accomplish? This question will be answered in a moment. But first, we must
congratulate Henry Kopel for seeing that hate propaganda and the canceling of
people without giving them the opportunity to respond to the one-sided
arguments leveled against them — are the two sides of the same coin.
To see the answer to the above question, all you
need to do is look around. You’ll discover that the Jewish hate machine — which is composed of dozens of pundits pontificating at the cutting
edge, and hundreds of followers repeating the baloney in the echo chamber — may have silenced and/or canceled people like myself for telling it
like it is, but has failed in its main task.
That task was to divert what the Jews call
antisemitism, sending it in the direction of the Arabs and the Muslims. The
ultimate aim was to develop a visceral hatred for the Arabs and the Muslims
among the American public, in the same way that societies throughout space and
time, have hated the Jews viscerally and without respite.
Instead of this happening to the Arabs,
however, what the Jewish hate machine succeeded in doing, was to create yet
another sea of hate where the Jews are drowning once again.
That’s where you’ll find Henry Kopel if you’re looking for him.
