I’ve been perplexed…<\/p>\n

…well, no.\u00a0 That’s the wrong word.\u00a0 I’ve seen what I know about the US, and International, left’s antisemitic roots fully validated yet again during and after the latest war in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Israel is facing an opponent that uses human lives – non-combatant Palestinians in Gaza – as sacrificial pawns, worth only what their deaths will garner in one-sided international outrage. That outrage comes, naturally, from people who are perfectly fine accepting that the combatants among these same people have been lobbing rockets at Israeli civilians for the previous months on end.<\/p>\n

In other words, noncombatant deaths are ammunition in the public opinion war.<\/p>\n

But the Jews have been fighting the public opinion war for millenia, notes Rami Kaminski.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s only when they started contesting that war that things got bad for ’em:<\/p>\n

As killing Jews for being Jews has been a national sport for centuries, Islamic militants are justified in believing they are merely fulfilling historical tradition in Argentina, India and Gaza. Surely the Jews in Mumbai did not occupy Gaza. They were tortured and killed just for being Jews. And predictably, in the eyes of the world, they immediately became good Jews, just like my murdered family in Bertishev.<\/p>\n

Good Jews would wait until Hamas has weapons enabling its members to achieve their ultimate goal of absolute mass murder. Those enraged by Israel’s defensive military action insist Hamas uses only crude rockets, as if Qassams were BB guns, and military inferiority were somehow equivalent with moral superiority. In fact, Hamas now has Iranian-supplied Grad missiles which have landed on Beer Sheva and the outskirts of Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

Westerners have had only sporadic exposure to the indiscriminate killing in the name of holy war which Israel has lived with for years. Memories of 9-11, Madrid, and London have dimmed. This is not because the Islamic militants made a careful choice of weapons. They simply have not yet acquired nuclear bombs. Once they do, the West will develop a less detached view about the Islamists professed intentions for the infidels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
