The Hatred That Will Not Die
It's quite simply amazing that the world focuses on Israel time and again as a major force for world disruption. It seems as though this is a never-ending cyclical pathology that infects the international community. Before the creation of the State of Israel, the world's attention was focused on Jews as the universal scape-goat for all the ills of the world.Jews were scorned and derided as lesser beings, unworthy of trust and citizenship in many of the countries where the diaspora Jews settled. Yet on the other hand, they were held to blame for holding within themselves, by 'owning' media, commerce, friends in high places, the power to affect countries' fortunes and misfortunes. World Jewry held itself to a mysterious pact to order the world to its benefit.
Now that Israel exists and insists on its right to continue existing, despite having been encircled by hostile forces intent on its removal from the geography of the Middle East, Israel is held to a standard of behaviour demanded of no other nation. Certainly not of its neighbours, most of which are dictatorial human-rights abusers. Any initiative to protect itself is labelled aggression, and it is given the distinction of being known as an unlawful 'occupier' of a disadvantaged people.
Yet Israel, for all its faults, has offered security and citizenship to all those who live within its boundaries, in stark contrast to the surrounding countries for whom equality and fairness and an open society are yet to be realized. Upon Israel alone is placed the blame for the continuing festering of the Palestinians as a group with an unfulfilled destiny. Never are their own failed leaders held to account.
Those countries in Europe within which anti-Semitism flames out, then rises again like the Phoenix, now have two hate targets; Zionist Israel, and Jews, and both targets are fixed in the sights of anti-Semites as their hated prey. It becomes legitimate to commit to anti-Semitism, in purported response to Israel's wrongs against the Palestinians and the re-awakened realization that Jews' intent to control the global economy is evidenced by the international financial failure.
The liberal left in Europe and North America have now adopted Israel as the flag-bearer for world domination and fascism, where once fascism wedded to the intent of world domination almost succeeded in eradicating Jewish lives from the world stage. Universities and labour unions have found common cause in exercising their outraged condemnation on Israel as an Apartheid state; on Jews as universal society's social-political blight.
Only now the liberal left with its enlightened and noble purpose of struggling for the underdog, the disadvantaged, the suffering, have allied themselves with the clerical fascists of fanatical Islamism. In Britain the popular press, the electronic media, the civil service, public unions, police and the judiciary no longer feel the need to take care in their assertions of not-so-veiled anti-Semitism.
The zeitgeist of the times has given them permission to practise their prejudices overtly, openly, without undue fear of being held to account. Throughout Europe a renaissance of anti-Semitic cant has been re-invigorated in solidarity with a malign force that threatens the very stability of the countries whose left has found common cause with. Defying logic and reason, but that's what irrational passion does.
This same aggregate of Jew-haters and Israel bashers remain strangely innocent of any knowledge of fascist Islamists' jihadist aspirations, nor do they seem unduly concerned about the fate of thousands upon thousands of innocent Muslims whose lives are continually forfeit through targeting by vicious sectarian violence. It is simply too inconvenient to acknowledge the war that jihad wages against the peaceful face of Islam.
This is an arcane, quite stupefying bit of evidence yet again that human beings have their peculiar tendencies to self-destruct, and they have no difficulty discovering the rationales to support their ongoing dedicated belief in rabid Jewish conspiracies to control the world, an intent that must be stopped at all costs.
