The Qur'an: Israel Is Not for the Jews

Here is an understand Islam moment thanks to Robert Spencer and The Middle East Quarterly. The subject is roughly, who does the Holy Land belong to: Jews or Muslims?

Rambling Disgust with European Anti-Semitism

John R. Houk
© September 3, 2009

European history is rampant with anti-Semitism stretching from the farthest reaches of the West to the farthest reaches of the East. Misguided Christians were taught to hate Jews for being Christ-killers. Even though Jesus descended from mother Mary (as son of man) has a Jewish pedigree and the nature of the Early Christian Church has its direct roots in practicing Jews who believe Jesus the Son of God is the Messiah promised by Moses.

Amazingly secular Europe that is less Christian and more humanistic is re-visiting anti-Semitism again. What has causes this new hatred toward Jews? Is it the old Christian prejudice based on “Christ-killers” or the extreme myth of sacrificing Christian babies for their blood?

NOPE! Most indigenous Europeans have forsaken the practice and influence of Christianity in favor of the moral relativity of Secular Humanism.

One does not need a statistician or a scientific survey to make an educated guess for the existence of European anti-Semitism. The migration of large chunks of Muslims to European nations has both re-instilled hatred for Jews and to view any Israeli act of self-preservation as an act of aggression against oppressed Arabs who want to be called Palestinians.

Europeans and the Middle East even extrapolate myths from actual occurrences in other geographical areas. The classic case for that is the FBI bust that caught public officials and Orthodox Rabbis in corruption in New Jersey and New York. A significant amount of the culprits were of a Jewish ancestry whether observant or not. All the crimes were related to public corruption and money laundering to gain an illicit buck. The part that stands out to anti-Semites is that one of the Jewish culprits was part of an organ harvesting ring - Levy Izhak Rosenbaum.

Rosenbaum is the only one of the 44 arrested in which his involvement was money for organ harvesting. After a quick perusal of the list of 44 I could pick out roughly 16 that appear to have a Jewish heritage by name association (mind you it’s just a guess). This would mean over half of those arrested were of the typical ethnic melting pot of America.

This brings us back to reemerging European anti-Semitism. The largest circulated daily newspaper in Sweden is known as Aftonbladet. Freelancer Donald Boström wrote a scathing notorious blood libel that the Rosenbaum organ harvest crime is an example of why the IDF needs to be investigated for harvesting organs from unwilling Palestinians. The blood libel of harvesting Palestinian organs is like one of the propaganda lies perpetuated by Arab-Islamic terrorist organizations.

Match this blood libel with the fact that Sweden has between 400,000 and 500,000 Muslims out of a population of roughly nine million Swedes with a huge anti-Semitic bias.

The website Honest Reporting details the total lack of proper journalistic investigation by Donald Boström. Both Boström and Aftonbladet editors have admitted there is NO verification of the anti-Semitic story. Even so Aftonbladet has backtracked a little by claiming the story falls under editorial freedom of the press. The problem is the original Aftonbladet story was not on an editorial page. It was written as factual reporting.

Yossi Klein Halevi places European anti-Semitism in stark terms. His article “Incite to Murder” is a must read.

British Govt. Targets Savage’s Jewishness in Ban

I have to confess I am not a big fan of Michael Savage. His version of the Slanted Right appears to be a bit harsh. On the other hand he is battling CAIR so I do have a bit interest in Savage at the moment.

Recently Savage was on a list of undesirables forbidden to enter the United Kingdom. I haven’t followed up on the certainty of a WND report that the incoming Home Secretary was removing Savage from that list.

Now information has been dredged up that Michael Savage was placed on that ‘forbidden to enter’ list because he is Jewish by heritage. Evidently the British government in typical Leftist egalitarian fashion that most of Europe is noted for these days did not wish to appear to be singling out Muslims for that list. The word came down to place Jewish Savage on the list in an effort to bring balance to the amount of Muslims on the list.

I guess this is the logical step for a nation willing to abandon its Western heritage to accommodate an immigrant Muslim culture by allowing Sharia Law to trump British law when it comes to intra-Muslim affairs in Britain. Couple this Muslim accommodation with rising European (including Britain) anti-Semitism, I guess the next logical step is to ban an American Jew as if that will placate the indigenous immigrant Muslim population.

Now that is a load of British manure.

The Tool of the Muslim-Arabs

Caroline Glick reports what Americans will never hear in the Mainstream Media (MSM).

President Barack Hussein Obama has become the dhimmi tool for Arab Muslims to accomplish that which they were unable to do via several wars of invasion; viz. placing Israel in a position of imminent destruction.

To ensure this Obama agenda to promote Islam to the detriment of the Jewish-Zionist State of Israel, BHO has appointed a minion in George Mitchell. Apparently Mitchell’s Obama mandate is to coerce Israel into making Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and Gaza into a viable sovereign State.

BHO has mandated that Mitchell set up his Office of coercion in Jerusalem which is staffed with Arabophile Americans who have a history of promoting the illegitimate cause of a group of Arabs establishing a State called Palestine.

So Prime Minister Netanyahu is in a position in which he has to protect Israel’s existence while stringing BHO along so that the Obamasiah does not cut off the American alliance with the ONLY Western style democracy in the Middle East. Just for clarity, that Western Style democracy is NOT the Islamic-mobocracy of the fractured terrorist leadership of the Palestine Authority and Hamas. Israel has all the elements of a viable republic in which the voting citizens have a voice in who manages the Israeli government. This incidentally includes Israeli-Arab citizens who are not Jewish friendly.

The PA/Hamas mobocracy wishes to exterminate Jews living in the West Bank. The Israeli government actually accommodated the Hamas mob in Gaza by forcing the Jews out. Did Hamas peacefully appropriate the viable business operation left behind by Jewish settlers in Gaza? NO! They not only trashed the viable Jewish infrastructure but the Hamas mob violated Left Behind synagogues.

Christian-Arabs had been a significant population in the West Bank. For years the majority population of the city of Bethlehem was the Christian-Arabs. Islamic persecution and supremacism has forced a significant amount of Christian-Arabs to flee the West Bank allowing the Muslim-Arabs to usurp their land and their livelihood.

Let us also mention that the official agenda of both PA Islamic terrorists and Hamas Islamic terrorists is to exterminate the Jewish State of Israel.

With all this in mind. How in the world does President Barack Hussein Obama honestly believe that creating a hostile State of Muslim Arabs called Palestine can remotely solve the Middle East’s peace problems?

Let me finish off my thoughts with Glick’s conclusions of what Prime Minister Netanyahu faces with the Obama agenda and his Mitchell minions:

And that's the thing of it. At the end of the day, Netanyahu has three main challenges that he must meet if he is to successfully protect Israel in the coming years. He must prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He must secure Israel's national and strategic interests in Judea and Samaria and sole Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem. And he must do what he can to avoid an open breach with Washington.

By deploying Mitchell to Jerusalem, Obama is trying to prevent Netanyahu from achieving any of these aims. Only by neutralizing Mitchell will Netanyahu free his schedule to contend with them.

Lest We Forget Why Israel Exists

Anti-Semitism and Jew hatred have been infecting America’s colleges and universities for some time now. And some of these universities are prominent education centers in America.

You may say, “O my God! Another right wing in the tank for Israel is saying that any criticism of Israel is racist anti-Semitism.”

Even I have to admit the Jewish homeland – the Land of Israel – may have some dented image acts in there past and probably will in their future (unless Iran make’s good on its promise for Islamic nations to drive the Jews into the sea). Nonetheless, the global atrocities perpetrated against Jewish people have been going on at least since the Egypt of the Pharaohs.

Modern Israel was created out of Western power guilt for allowing an Adolf Hitler to exist when he could have been prevented. Appeasement and guilt of too much punishment upon Germany after WWI led the West to look the other way as der Fuhrer rebuilt Germany (which wasn’t bad in itself). Unfortunately some of this rebuilding was accomplished by an egomaniac that believed Germanic people are the Aryan Super Race destined to rule the earth. The offshoot of this Super Race mentality was focused upon six million Jews who died via murder or genocide. Depending on whom you read five or six million other lives were terminated in a genocidal way because they also did not meet the standards of a superior Aryan Race.

Hitler’s Nazi regime paid a special focus to exterminate Jewish people as vermin that were the cause of all that ails or was wrong on planet Earth. Hitler’s loss of WWII revealed to the horrified Western victors (and not so horrified USSR) concentration camps in which those that survived were barely alive followed by the horror of viewing tortured dead Jews that were exterminated in vile ways. Americans treat their dogs better in mercy killing for age or incapacitation.

From the end of WWI until Israeli independence the Levant was adding to the Jews already there who were fleeing anti-Semitism in Europe. The incapable League of Nations placed a considerable amount of the Levant under control of a British Mandate called Palestine. Hello! All who lived in the British Palestinian Mandate were called Palestinians whether they were Jewish, Arab, Muslim or Christian.

Theodore Herzl became appalled on how Jews were treated in Europe in pre-WWI and post WWI. He became the Jewish writer that inspired Zionism and a call for Jews to move back to Palestine. (Although, Jews have lived there even through Muslim conquests; simply a majority of Jews became victims of Roman vengeance and got the boot from their land – it was called the Diaspora.) Herzl’s dream was for a safe place from persecution. Actually other options were considered but it was just way too natural for Jews to go home to Palestine (from Roman Palestina, which was a derivative from Jewish enemies known as Philistines).

At the agitation of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (a former recruiter of Slavic Muslims for the Nazi regime) and Hasan al-Banna (Muslim Brotherhood founder), Islamic Supremacism viewed through dar al-Islam and dar al-Harb began to plant Jew-hatred among the Arabs (Muslims and Christians) of the British Palestinian Mandate. Acerbic vitriol thus increased among the post WWII Muslims toward Jews in Palestine. This is interesting for the Arabs of the Levant and the Middle East were subject to the Turkish Ottoman Empire prior to WWI. The WWI victors carved up Arab lands formerly under Ottoman rule and began to form sovereign nations.

In 1948 the Brits pulled of the Palestinian Mandate. The plan was for the United Nations to follow in the footstep of the defunct League of Nations and partition Palestine into two sovereign nations. One for the Jewish Homeland and one for the now hate infected Arabs.

The sovereign Arab nations previously created by the WWI victors vowed to drive the Jews into the sea for non-Muslims have no right to land that was conquered in the name of Mohammed and his Allah.

Of course we know in 1948 the new State of Israel (a tear drop surrounded by an ocean of Islamic hatred) vanquished five invading Islamic Armies and the Arab-Palestinians that formed poorly trained militias.

Thus began the Muslim propaganda that minuscule Israel was a genocide nation itself practicing a South African form of Apartheid upon the Arabs abandoned by the invading Muslim Armies. Come on folks! The Arab-Muslims created an Arab refugee problem and refused to own to the responsibility of matriculating their stranded brothers into the invading Islamic-Arab nations.

This Middle Eastern Islamic hatred aimed at Jews has slowly seeped back into the West. Slanted Left academia and politicians of the West (i.e. Europe and America) slowly began to accept the propaganda of Jew-hatred forgetting why they allowed a microscopic slice of the Levant to become a Jewish Homeland. That reason is the inexplicable prejudice against Jews that have resulted into a millennia persecution and death culminating with Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust.

I find this infection of Jew-hatred now permeating American colleges and universities to be appalling. The Left oriented academia of America have become enamored by Islamic propaganda now viewing the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians to be the recipients of the most vial racial victimhood that Israel could offer.

IT IS POPPYCOCK!

Israel is a Western style representative democracy that generously tolerates that hatred of their own Arab citizens while spending their entire existence battling non-Israeli Arabs for Israel’s existence as a Jewish haven nation.

Now the Israeli government has often bulldozed the homes of Arabs (in and out of Israel proper) of Islamic terrorist supporting families when an Islamic terrorist perpetrates an act of murderous carnage against civilian Jews. The world cries, “Too harsh!”

Say what!?

Arabs living in the Judea and Samaria (i.e. West Bank) and Gaza have been bombarded religiously that the only good Jew is a dead Jew. These Arabs actively support if not participated in acts of terrorism against Israeli Jews because of generations of hate implantation. AND WHAT? The Western academia only wants Israel to wag their fingers and say, “Bad Muslim terrorist, you should know better. You are from a religion of peace.”

Do you know there is an “Israel Apartheid Week” going on at Canadian and American schools of higher learning? The purpose of this week is to bring Jew-hating Muslims and Jew-hating Leftists to rant of Arab victimhood with half-truths and downright lies.

Read the Israpundit essay on the insidious North American academia allowing anti-Israel smack while simultaneously making every effort to prevent the Jewish/Israel version.

Sacks on: Outreach, Yes. Apology, No.

Leslie J. Sacks writes a comment about Charles Krauthammer’s Washington Post op-ed that reads in essence that President Barack Hussein Obama’s desire to reach out to Muslims is good; however if that reaching out includes an apology for how American relations with Muslims is a bit cantankerous then BHO is crossing the line of reality.

An Islamic agenda of ravaging American interests outside and inside the USA is heinous and deserves a response that demonstrates to the Muslim world that America is not Islamic Supremacism’s dhimmi patsy.

Outreach, Yes. Apology, No.

Note that Obama's first official interview after his inauguration was given to Al Arabiya, the international Arabic news station based in Dubai.

Intended to be an apology for past sins and a promise for future reconciliation, the interview brandished the standard liberal penchant for appeasement, an approach which is distinguished primarily by its distance from reality. It seems the left intuits what seems to be wrong, feels what ought to be right, and believes that the former will become the latter merely by telling the world whatever it hopes to hear from us.

History and truth are thus subjugated to a 'feel good' projection.

Charles Krauthammer's masterful article exposes these crucial issues and more, with a clarity of vision and essence that (re-)confirms him as one of America's foremost commentators. If honesty and truth be the Creator's rod, then Krauthammer certainly is His humble servant.

NO ON 2-STATE

This YouTube video brilliantly ties the Islamic attack in Mumbai to the Jewish existence following Western forced creation of a Palestinian State.



The blog Woman Honor Thyself gives a written and pictorial reason as the reason that a sovereign Palestinian State will be the foot in the door to the Muslim view of Hitler’s Final Solution for the Question. I highly encourage you to read it!

Global Anti-Semitism Reaching Pre-WWII Proportions

There probably has been global anti-Semitism at least since the Romans pillage Jerusalem, destroyed the Jewish Temple and eventually expelled most of the Jewish population from their homeland circa 70 AD.

Some may argue the anti-Semitism began when God Almighty gave Abraham a promise of a homeland for his descendants through a child of Promise (i.e. Isaac) and that land was already occupied by Canaanites, Moabites and other “ites.”

Some may argue anti-Semitism may have begun after Joseph died and future Pharaohs oppressed the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in which God Almighty and Moses delivered the Hebrews from Egyptian oppression.

Others may argue anti-Semitism began with the Hebrews actually battled the “ites” winning sometimes and losing sometimes (the period of the Judges). Yet I think that was more of a political situation of which tribal nation (the “ites” and the Philistines) would dominate the region. I would argue from a Christian Right perspective that the Hebrews became dominant people because the sins of the previous inhabitants had reached the point of no return and the Land of Promise was being fulfilled only as the Hebrews actively took possession.

Others may argue anti-Semitism began when Assyria and Babylon alternately emptied the northern Kingdom of Israel and the later emptying the Kingdom of Judah.

Some may argue Persian liberation of Jews from Babylon and later elements within the Persian government tried to exterminate the Jews under Persian authority. Yet that policy was reversed by the Persian emperor and the anti-Semitic band in the Persian government were disbanded (so to speak).

Some may argue that after Alexander the Great defeated Persia and added it to Alexander’s empire followed by the death of Alexander and the division of Alexander’s empire was another period of anti-Semitism. The Greek-Syrian part of Alexander’s former empire was intent on forcing Greek polytheism on the Jews who had returned to their land after Babylonian captivity ended.

Of course the Maccabean revolt established an independent Jewish Kingdom again that eventually became ruled by the Hasmonean dynasty.

With Roman aid Herod the Great (son of Antipater the Idumean) became the ruler of the Hasmonian dynasty’s holdings. Old Herod was a practicing Jew by faith however he was more in line with the Greek influenced Sadducees than the Orthodox Jews of the period known as Pharisees. Also Herod’s national origin of Idumea alienated the typical Jew of the period. The Jews knew the Idumaeans were given the option of converting to Judaism or leaving after a Hasmonean ruler had conquered the area earlier.

After Herod’s death the Romans divided the rule of the Jewish land between his sons and eventually took direct control of Jerusalem under a sort of Governor (there is actually a lack of agreement what the office was called).

Jews in their homeland were again under oppression, i.e. to say anti-Semitism. After a couple of revolts, the Romans expelled most of the Jews in what has become known as a Diaspora. To disgrace the Jewish heritage the Romans renamed the Land a Latin form of one of the Jewish enemies of the past – Philistines. From Philistines the Romans got Palestinia which today has been known as Palestine.

Just an interesting side note: even the name of Palestinian is a usurped name by Arabs living in the area. Palestine for centuries had been referenced as the former homeland of the Jews.

I could probably let this speculation on the origin of anti-Semitism began continue on and on. Let’s just say anti-Semitism follow the Jews of the Diaspora to all parts of Europe.

Anti-Semitism became so horrific in Europe that Europeans looked the other way as an Austrian by the name of Adolf Hitler outlined his thoughts on Jews in his Nazi manifesto entitled, Mein Kampf (My Struggle). Hitler’s desire to unite German speaking people into a super race also resulted in twelve million deaths by the end of WWII. Six million of those eleven million (when I was younger I could have swore the number was twelve million) were Jews.

The bloodthirstiness of Hitler had finally struck a tinge of guilt on Europeans who could have prevented the Holocaust but chose not to seek the delusion of “Peace in our Time” with an anti-Semitic lunatic. This tinge of guilt made way for the creation of Israel in 1948. In 1948 Muslim Arabs took a page out of Mein Kampf and several invading armies tried to exterminate the Jews of the new sovereign nation of Israel.

Eventually the USA became the primary protector of Israel with money and weapons which Israel used to protect its little speck of a nation from a sea of hostile anti-Semitic Muslims.

Pay attention now! Anti-Semitism is rearing its ugly head again in Europe and even among the Left in America; particularly among Leftist Academics in European and American Universities.

The pseudo-Palestinian Arabs are calling for their own nation which is followed by a goal of the extermination of Jews and the nation of Israel. Iran’s and Syria’s Islamofascist governments have pledged to eradicate Israel and currently aiding transnational Muslim terrorist organizations in this goal which includes a target on all who support Israel. This principle target is America since most of Europe seems to have forgotten why they supported the creation of a Jewish nation in the first place.

As in indication of the global and Academic nature of anti-Semitism emerging like pre-WWII days watch these YouTube videos:

European Voters Slowly Rising Up Against Muslim Supremacism

As an American I think of Europe (particularly Western Europe) as a paradigm of democratic rule of law with socialism as the socio-political platform dominating Western European democracies.

I just read an article by Diana West showing that Slanted Right Conservatism is slowly making a come back in Europe. Now this might sound dreadful since most people think of the Nazi and Fascist movements as Right Wing movements that screwed up the world.

The reality is that Nazis and Fascists were socialist oriented with race supremacist ideas that tried to get the people to focus on a political cult and a cult leader. Nazis and Fascists both overtly hated democracy and Communism. Really the only difference between Communism and Nazism is that the Nazis were up front about the State managing the lives of the people while the Communist pretended to have goals of a Stateless society in which working class people managed culture collectively. The Nazis relished in the power of the political cult, the Communists lied to the people about the political cult.

Diana West interviews Oskar Freysinger the leader of Switzerland’s largest Political Party (in a multi-Party Parliamentary system). The Political Party is called the Swiss People’s Party. The irony for me is that Political Parties with the name “People’s” included in the name are socialist or communist in nature; however the dominant Left Wing Parties of Switzerland collectively view the People’s Party as Right Wing and “bigoted” and thus not to be taken seriously.

Then again the Lefties in Switzerland might begin to take notice. The Swiss People’s Party has succeeded to get a Swiss Referendum on the ballot aimed at Mohammedan immigration as well as the building of the symbols of Mohammedan power such as minarets.

Diana West points out the Swiss People’s Party represents voters emerging slowly across Europe that are becoming fed up with Mohammedan supremacism potentially turning Europe into Eurabia. Read it, I know you will find of interest.

Gallup Imprimatur and Radical Islam

Well – Well – Well! One of the most famous pollsters in the world has been caught validating conclusions from data that is dubious. That pollster organization is Gallup. The authors that cooked the data are John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed. The books title is "Who Speaks for Islam?" The end game of the book is to establish the amount of 1.6 billion of the world’s Muslims that are radical Islamists is very miniscule.

In an interview Mogahed (probably unwittingly) showed the data gathering was flawed as well as the way in which the conclusions were derived.

So again I say WAKE UP AMERICA! Mohammedan civilization is NOT compatible with Western civilization’s evolved democratic principles of Liberty, Freedom and the Pursuit of Happiness; and that especially applies to America. European democracy has been so infected with egalitarian tolerance that radical Mohammedans use Western principles to slowly infect Europe’s Western culture with the virus of Islamism.

I was alerted to this pro-Mohammedan propaganda by Act! For America in an email. The email informs this:

Cooking the Books to Mask the Number of Islamic Radicals

In a stunning illustration of how apologists for militant Islam flat-out distort the truth, Robert Satloff writes in the Weekly Standard how John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed “cooked the books” to make their own data appear to show there were only a small percentage of “radical” Muslims worldwide.

Esposito and Mogahed make the claim that only 7% of Muslims worldwide are “radical.” That amounts to about 91 million Muslims. No small number.

But a closer examination of their data reveal that the number of those who are “radical” is actually at least twice that many, and more likely three to four times that many – or between 300 million and 480 million Muslims worldwide!

To discover just how they pulled off this sleight of hand, click on the link below to read Satloff’s article.

At the direction of America and the anti-Semitic pressure of the EU, Israel has given and given and has received absolutely ZERO reciprocity.

This is a Western hypocrisy that will end the existence of Israel or inevitably end in an upgrade from the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) to a World War. The stakes will be a defensible Jewish homeland and the threat of the world’s oil reserves that is the current energy life-blood of the globe.
