Palestinians and the Greatest Political Scam of Modern Times

~David Solway

FrontPage Magazine, February 16, 2012

The usual understanding of Israel as an aggressive, colonial, apartheid state robbing the Palestinians of their heritage is quite possibly the greatest political scam of modern times. It is the outcome of a mixture of historical amnesia, ideological prejudice and reflex hostility, which serves to keep it mind-proof. This species of unreason explains why, in the interminable conflict raging in the Middle East, the Palestinians have been given a free pass.

It is why the press has bowdlerized the word “terrorist” and substituted inoffensive synonyms like “militant,” “activist” and “insurgent.” It is why any Israeli response to Gaza rocket fire is denounced as “collective punishment” and a violation of international norms by the United Nations, whic h has no problem turning a blind eye to the continuing barrage of rocket fire, kidnappings and attempted kidnappings, and ambushes emanating from the terrorist enclave.

This knee-jerk reaction to Israel is the reason Hezbollah was permitted to re-arm itself in violation of UN Resolution 1701. It accounts for the fact that Human Rights outfits and NGOs have been hijacked by the anti-Israeli crowd hiding behind their anesthetic titles. It is the reason that foreign nations funding left-wing, anti-Zionist groups that operate in Israel object to the passing of transparency legislation by the Knesset, though they themselves stringently monitor such interference in their own affairs. It accounts for the sanctimonious and hypocritical outcry against the Israeli security barrier as an apartheid wall, without evincing the slightest concern for the Jewish victims of Palestinian terror: 1,218 fatalities and 8,431 maimed between 2000-2007....

How should we categorise Stern, Irgun, Lehi? As social workers? Don't let a couple of facts get in the way of Jewish hypocrisy.

Would you like a list of Palestinian civilians murdered by the IDF during 'Cast Lead'? No? You're going to get it anyway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Gaza_War

Furthermore, any right-wing magazine which numbers among its contributors Lawrence Auster ('I care about the white race...'), a foul racist who asserted that white women were being 'targeted' by black rapists, is not to be trusted as a credible source for anything. Except racism. The fact that its proprietor is also a Jew should come as no surprise given the above rant.

Illegal thread. This is a cut-and-paste with insufficient original comment . This forum is also for LATEST NEWS, which an opinion piece dated Feb.16th 2012 is certainly not- in the same way that a recipe for kosher rice pudding published this morning would not be NEWS.
I hope this message gets through to you and spares the forum from these spamfests. Thank you.

We should categorize them as deceased. Their legacy is a matter of a separate discussion, the fact that you have go back like 60 years to dig up dirt on Israel (at least you think it's dirt) speaks volumes...

But they've been deceased for more than half a century. On the other hand Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Ahmadinejad and many many other terrorist organizations are alive and kicking, enjoying wide support among the Arab public and the West/the UN turn the blind eye to their non-stop attempts to murder Israeli civilians.

Israel was founded by terrorists. I think that is very relevant. Yet another uncomfortable truth you wish to divert?

'Were I an Arab I would rise up against an immigration liable in the future to hand the country and all its Palestinian inhabitants over to Jewish rule. What Palestinian cannot do his math and understand what Jewish immigration at the rate of 60,000 a year means a Jewish state in all of Palestine' David Ben Gurion.

As for 'digging up dirt' on Israel, I don't really need to dig deep. Their acts are in the news every day for all the world to see.

Israel was founded by the UN. Which makes it far more legitimate than 99% of the countries on the planet that were indeed founded by terrorists.

And what were Lehi, Irgun, Stern...? Oh, of course, 'freedom fighters', not terrorists.

Some of their actions were less than kosher. Name a country which has avoided such groups. I am all ears. The fact is you have to go back 60 years to dig up dirt, the fact is the rules of the game were totally different and far more brutal in the post-war era - the Brits were still hanging people at the time. The fact is these organizations were small and not mainstream. The fact is Israel was founded by the UN, it's here to stay and you better get it over with and move on with your life.

You are looking at the speck that is in your brother's eye, while not noticing the log that is in your own eye. That hardly portrays you in good light.

I can dig up dirt on Israel all day long. How much would you like? As far as the 'rules of the game' are concerned they haven't changed much...and the more belligerence in attitude, and intransigence in its policies vis-a-vis Palestine displayed by the Zionist filth in the Israeli Knesset, the closer Israel gets to digging its own grave.

'Some of their actions were less than kosher' Can I use that in my sig?
