Palestinian Anger For Israel Deeply Rooted in History
Life is too short not to be seeking the truth. Therefore, it is important that when a war or conflict arises in our small world that each individual keep well informed about the facts. At this very moment the Israeli army is besieging a ragtag group of Palestinian fighters known as Hamas. For all intents, this is a David vs. Goliath fight with Israel seemly looking like an unrepentant and aggressive barbarian with little regard of innocent life. However, as responsible citizens of this rock that we call earth we can’t just watch the local news covering this tragedy and call it a day, we must understand a background that is seldom explained.
Since this is only a short article a short explanation must suffice. The Palestinian dislikes the Jew:
the Jew tolerates the Palestinian. The Jewish people have been persecuted since the Assyrians conquered Israel in 722 BC, since then the Jewish people have often been uprooted and rejoined to their home land of Israel. Finally, in 70AD the Romans drove the Jews out of Israel when they destroyed their temple, of which now sits the Muslim Dome of the Rock. The Palestinians on the other hand, are directly related to the Philistines a migratory people likely from the Aegean. These people are believed to have settled in what is know as the Gaza Strip in the 12th Century BC and as per Biblical accounts were often warring with Israel. The term Palestine, which consisted of Israel and Judea, was named by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as an insult to the Jews because of their attempt in 132 AD to retake their land back: they failed. It is important to understand that when we talk about the Palestinians we are not discussing Arabs. This is key when it comes to the reasons why other Arab nations just don’t allow the Palestinians into their own populations. This is generally why we have so many Palestinian refugee camps.
Ok, we know now a bit of history, not all, but likely more than we knew before. We know that Palestinians are not Arab; we know they are not from the region, and we know that the Palestinians have been warring with Israel since the 12th Century BC. So why are both sides still fighting? Well, this is because the Arabs who also hate the Jews, for another reason, have seen that they can use the Palestinians in order to facilitate the removal of Israel from the Middle East. Therefore, the Arabs who could easily assimilate the Palestinian population into their own do not. This allows for continued conflicts to occur on Israeli borders. The Palestinians cry for a homeland they never had and the Arabs are now suggesting that Israel should be destroyed because of how they treat the Palestinians. These and a few other reasons are why the United Nations and the United States can never solve this mess. Will there be continued war until the Arabs and Palestinians get their way: Of Course!
Most of us have seen the propaganda that is put out against Israel: it is reminiscent of Nazi propaganda during WWII. There is a reason for this, Amin al-Husaini the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Chairmen of the Arab Higher Committee was a known collaborator with the Nazi Regime and was living in Germany and learning how the Germans used mass media to influence soft minds. While in Germany Amin al-Husaini was involved in making radio broadcasts promoting the Nazi idea and that Muslims should join the Nazi empire against the Jews of the world. One of his most controversial comments was, “Arabs, arise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you.”. Statements of hate like this have led to the years of violence we now see now in the Middle East. Sadly the influences of Hitler’s empire are alive and well within the Muslim world, in the form of hate for the Jew.
Aggressive statements against Middle Eastern outsiders are not new, so where do they come from, and why are the Muslims, both Palestinian and Arab so eager to go to war? Simply said, the Quran calls for war against the unbeliever: Quran 9:123. This is a fact of life for the Muslim and has yet to sink in with much of the world who allows millions of Muslims to immigrate into their own countries yearly. Not all Muslims live a literal life from the Quran and most that immigrate are honorable people. However, often the youth of well meaning immigrant families, during their adolescent years, become susceptible to Islamic radical propaganda and fast become angry at the west and see it as an enemy nation. England and France are great examples of nations whose Muslim youth population has such an effect that they can, with their threats of street violence, shift national policy in favor of radical Islam. This I dare say, is why the United Nations is seldom supporting the nation of Israel publicly. So, what does the world do; the world try’s to contain the issue, but all the time losing ground. There is only one alternative and that is to fight the aggressor brutally, un-repentantly yet always with an olive branch in the opposite hand. This is a sad note to make, but until those who call themselves Muslims, some how, reconcile the Quran’s call to kill the infidel and spread their message with a stronger belief in the value of life and individual freedoms we will have war. For those of you who are Muslim and consider yourselves at peace from the hate of the Jew, it is your direct responsibility to change the path of other Muslims: it is your responsibility to Islam. Likewise, it is the responsibility of the Jewish Nation to measure well their responses and not be too heavily handed against the Palestinians especially because of their situation.
