The Inversed World of Palestinianism

• "The Nakba [Catastrophe] is not a political debate with 'two sides'. It is the foundational event of a continuous, 77-year campaign of displacement, military occupation, and colonization."
• "[Swipe through images] to challenge the false narratives and understand the reality of the Palestinian struggle."
• "Israeli Victim Card: As an Israeli citizen if I am accused of anything I am not criminally responsible. Any accusation against me will be fuelled by ANTI SEMITISM. If in doubt please refer to the Holocaust."
• "Four Israeli hostages were released as part of a prisoner exchange. In stark contrast, Palestinian prisoners often return home with clear signs of physical and mental abuse, a testament to the harsh conditions they endure."
• "As Israel faces humiliation on the battlefield against Iran, it turns its rage toward the most defenceless: the people of Gaza. In a display of cowardice and cruelty, it bombs homes, massacres families, and burns Palestinian children alive. This is not war -- it is a genocidal campaign by a colonial occupier desperate to maintain its grip through terror."                                               Canadian Palestinian Association of Manitoba (CPAM)

"It is standard museum protocol to work with advisory networks. This advisory network supported the museum in collecting the oral histories and artifacts of the Palestinian Canadians who will be featured in the exhibit [Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present]." Original response.

"This exhibit is the work of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights -- it is not a co-production with another association or organization. There is no agreement with any association for the development of this content." On second thought.

A new exhibit on the Nakba, recounting the personal experiences of Canadian Palestinians who fled or were forced from their homes in 1948, is coming to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. However, at least one Jewish organization is concerned it will lack historical and current geopolitical context.  CBC

 

What irony, the founder of the museum, Israel Asper, visualized its purpose to speak to the world of the horrors of the Holocaust, that it never be forgotten as a signal event in the mid-20th century when state-driven genocide alongside a world war contrived to dehumanize European Jewry on their way to total annihilation. The museum has undergone a change in purpose from highlighting real instances of monumental human rights abuses to become a showpiece for propaganda against Israel, the Jewish state that rose on its ancestral geography from the ashes of six million lives -- half the world's entire Jewish population.

 

Canada, through immigration, refugee intake from war-torn Middle East and North African countries, and illegal migration, has become a cesspool of Jew-hate. Its rise accelerated by the savagery of the 7 October, 2023 flood of Palestinian terrorists into southern Israel from Gaza on a mission to destroy, sadistically terrorize and rape, mutilate and murder 1,200 mostly civilians, comprised of infants, children, the elderly, in farming communities close to the Gaza border. Slaughtered also were foreign farm workers, who were also taken hostage along with Israeli children, their parents, young adults from a music festival and soldiers.

 

Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Fatah and other terrorist operatives along with Palestinian civilians took pride in their atrocities, to the extent of documenting their acts of inhumanity on videos they later posted to social media. Their crimes included burning families alive, mass rapes, mutilation of girls and women amidst the rapes, forcing children to witness their parents being tortured and parents forced to watch their children tortured and murdered. All atrocities that Palestinians later claimed Israelis perpetrated on them.

 

Apologists for Palestinian 'victimhood' in the international community find reasons to overlook the barbarity, with claims that inhumane occupation made for desperate acts of people seeking freedom. Palestinians always had the freedom to choose their own destinies, but they mired themselves solidly in the self-serving delusion that the land on which Israel stood was theirs, resulting in constant murderous attacks on Jews at the very same time they portrayed themselves as victims and Jews their oppressors. In refusing a state alongside that of the Jews, Palestinians held out for destroying Israel and taking all the land -- ancient Judean patrimony.

Bringing their lurid grievances with them to Canada, Palestinians and their Muslim-Canadian supporters ply the fiction of victim and oppressor, denying that the atrocities of October 7 took place, irrespective of the much-celebrated videos depicting the horrors, and convincing a wide audience across the world of their 'cause'; being refused a Palestinian state of their own after turning down one Israeli negotiated proposal after another for a state in exchange for recognition of Israel's sovereign presence.

 

That the Canadian Museum for Human Rights has become yet another Canadian institution that supports the 'rights' of Palestinians to what they claim is theirs, and mourning the existence of the state of Israel as an instrument of Palestinian oppression, now engaged in 'genocide' after depriving Palestinians of their state, is yet another milestone for the public relations machinery that grinds away at the legitimacy of the Jewish state, along with that of Canadian Jews, monstrously slandered and threatened and isolated in the very country they have lived in for centuries.

 

The world is willing to acknowledge the 750,000 Palestinians who fled with the re-establishment of Israel in 1948, yet is totally disinterested in the 850,000 Arabized Jews who lived for a millennia and more in Muslim countries in the Middle East and North Africa who were exiled, their properties and goods taken from them in 1948. The Jews were never considered refugees, were never compensated, never given assistance from the United Nations. The Arab Palestinians, on the other hand, were given the eternal status of refugees, fully financially and politically supported by the United Nations.

"Our recent victories 4 Palestine: 

• [PM Carney's recognition of a Palestinian state 
• Manitoba raising the Palestinian flag
• Nakba exhibit to "give space to stories long ignored ensuring that the truth of the Naka is taught, remembered and recognized"
• And we are just getting started

"[We are] honoured to contribute through the Palestinian Content Advisory Network ensuring this exhibit [at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights] reflects authentic Palestinian experiences."

The Final Insult in the UN's Assaults Against Israel

 U.N. Anti-Israel Bias

"This most recent resolution approved by the United Nations reflects an ongoing history of anti-Israel bias in the entity. Palestinian representation in the United Nations drives hard for recognition of their viewpoint that sees Israel as their oppressor and occupier. They have pressed for – and won – a permanent slot on the agenda of every Human Rights Council meeting for the discussion of Israel’s violations of Palestinian human rights. Item 7 is a permanent fixture on the schedule, and while it’s worded in a way that indicates it’s for discussing human rights violations occurring amid the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the conversation remains unbalanced. It regularly results in resolutions and condemnations against Israel but rarely does so against Palestinians, though they repeatedly violate the human rights of their own people in their fervor to harm Israel, continue to incite terrorist activity against Israelis and reward them with payments to the families of imprisoned or martyred terrorists."

"What would you say if the international community celebrated the establishment of your country as a disaster? What a disgrace."

"[Jews living in the Middle East and in North Africa] did not revolt against the international community’s decision. They did not try to annihilate another people. Their only crime was being Jewish."

"This is the true ‘Nakba.’ This is the disaster carried out against the Jewish people and this is the disaster that this body has ignored for decades."

Gilad Erdan, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations

With the creation of the State of Israel 75 years ago, an estimated 650,000 Arabs living in the region fled, assuming they would return, as they were assured they could, in the face of combined Arab armies attacking the fledgling Jewish State with the purpose of annihilating its presence, felt by Muslims to be an sacrilegious assault against Islam which forbids any other religion to abide in lands consecrated to Islam. 850,000 Jews were expelled from their ancient homes in Arab states in reaction to Israel's rebirth; from North Africa, including Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, while others fled or were driven out of Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. 

The United Nations created a refugee assistant body specific to the new refugees that called themselves Palestinians, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency to look after the needs of these refugees who found themselves unable to return to the land now occupied by the State of Israel. The opportunity for a state of their own -- in former biblical-era Samaria and Judea now called the West Bank and Gaza Strip -- through the Partition offered by the United Nations was refused by the Arab Palestinians who maintained the entire area was their ancestral land, not that of the Jews.

UNRWA has been a permanent UN refugee installation, unlike any other in the world where other, much larger refugee populations fleeing conflict are eventually settled into permanent homes. By keeping UNRWA alive and active the UN has deliberately and with a strange malice aforethought institutionalized a permanent refugee status for Arab Palestinians who will only cease being 'refugees' once Israel ceases to exist. Israel has no intention whatever of moving over and out of their ancestral land mass. In point of fact, Israel accepted as their new home a portion of the geography that was once theirs; an act of conciliation and jubilation.

 

Palestinians and their victimhood enablers rally to the cause of Israel as an 'occupation' authority ruling the lives of Palestinians. And to keep that institutionalized victimhood alive and well, the day of Israel's modern re-founding on May 15 has been dubbed 'Nakba' (catastrophe) Day for 'Palestinians' commemorating their great loss. The United Nations general assembly in December, led by the Arab League nations, voted to formalize international recognition through the UN of 'Nakba Day'. While Israel celebrates its 75th birthday as a homeland reborn for Jews, the world community with some exceptions recognize that event as a catastrophe.

 

The United Nations, dedicated to world peace, dedicated to advancement of humanity, of nations living in security, dedicated to human rights and equality has become a global institution of renascent antisemitism led by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and their allies wherein UN various departments tend to agree that Israel may be a member of the United Nations by sufferance, and if any nation is going to be criticized as offending human rights, it will be Israel, the inclusive nation which, though existing as a haven and home for Jews, accepts 20 percent of its population comprised of Arabs and other non-Jewish ethnics with full citizenship.

In the past seven years the UN General Assembly has seen fit to pass 208 resolutions that target countries for reported UN Charter violations along with other transgressions; 140 of those resolutions singled out Israel. The total of UN condemnations targeting other UN member states last year combined was 13. Israel alone was targeted with 15 condemnations last year. 

The UN's International Court of Justice has been assigned by the General Assembly to study Israel's "prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation" of Palestinian territory along with measures allegedly taken by Israel "aimed at altering the demographic composition, charter and status" of Jerusalem, the City of David, the ancient ancestral capital city of Judaean heritage. The resolution makes no mention of the violence committed by Fatah, the PLFP, Hamas or any other of the Palestinian terrorism groups violently attacking Israel to achieve their 'River to the Sea' aspiration.

 

 

Infamously some of the member-nations that regularly sit on the UN Human Rights Commission, to sit in judgement on democratic Israel with its just laws and commitment to equality for all its citizens, include human rights abusers such as China, Sudan, Zimbabwe and Cuba. In the 17 years since its founding, the UN's HRC adopted 90 resolutions in condemnation of Israel. The Human Rights Council this year sees China, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Eritrea, Sudan and Somalia as ruling members.

On behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, two years ago the HRC established a permanent commission of enquiry to examine breaches of human rights norms by Israel, in a vote initiated by Pakistan and the delegation from the Palestine Liberation Organization, a terrorist group in its own right. UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization adopted a resolution in 2016 that literally negated a Jewish presence from antiquity forward in the Middle East.

The site of the two ancient Jewish temples known as the Temple of Solomon, twice destroyed with one retaining wall left, the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) is given short shrift as the most sacred site in Judaism, the site given attribution as a sacred Islamic site; the Noble Sanctuary, where it was known well before the advent of Islam as the Temple Mount. Hebron, the site of the Tomb of the Patriarchs where Abraham and his family were buried, from whom the 12 Tribes of Israel were descended, is marked by UNESCO as a Palestinian World Heritage Site. The UN an accomplice of the Palestinian Authority in pillaging Judaism and Judaic history.

The UN's Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) last year produced one agenda for a resolution singling Israel out as a "major obstacle" to the rights of Palestinian women. "ECOSOC's 2022 session completely ignored the world's worst abusers of women's rights, refusing to pass a single resolution on the situation of women in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Chad, Qatar or Algeria, which rank among the ten worst violators of women's rights in the world", Hillel Neuer of UN Watch fumed.
