On September 30, 2000, a number of Palestinians - including policemen - attacked an IDF outpost in the Gaza Strip using Molotov cocktails and automatic weapons. The soldiers returned fire toward the sources of the shooting. During the exchanges of fire, a Palestinian child - Mohammed al-Dura, aged 12 - was hit by gunfire and killed.
Immediately following the incident, the France 2 TV station released a video of the fighting. The images of the boy, Mohammed al-Dura, cowering behind his father were broadcast around the world and Israel was universally blamed for the child’s death.
A German journalist subsequently discovered that the video showing the boy's murder had been doctored and, in fact, Mohammed al-Dura was murdered by a Palestinian gunman as a publicity stunt.
Of course, the initial story continued to dominate the headlines and the truth was virtually ignored.
Nearly twenty-two years later, a very similar story has inflamed America's so-called Democratic Party.
On May 11, 2022, al-Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh, an American, was shot and killed as she covered an IDF operation in the West Bank. The Palestinian health ministry said she was shot in the head by a live bullet and confirmed her death shortly afterwards.
CNN has verified multiple videos from the scene of the shooting. They reveal Israeli military firing in the streets nearby and armed Palestinians. While the videos are clearly filmed in the morning, CNN cannot be certain what date they were filmed, and whether they were filmed before or after the shooting of Abu Akleh.
AOC, of course, has been screeching that the IDF killed Ms. Akleh. On May 20, Nerdeen Kerswami, the Commencement Speaker at New York's CUNY School of Law, gave an empassioned speech supporting the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) Movement against Israel.
CUNY was in the news five years ago when the notorious antisemite Linda Sarsour was invited to speak and incite hatred against Jews.
Lost in the hysteria is the fact that the Palestinian Authority is refusing to allow authorities to examine the bullet that killed the American journalist. It does not take a genius to know why.
Meanwhile, the world is again spewing its hatred for Jews and those who question anything are ignored.
The White Horse and the Red Horse have been released and they are ravaging the planet. The New World Order has just opened the pen and we know it is just a matter of weeks before the Black Horse is set loose.
It may be too late.
The late Christopher Hitchens despised Mother “Mammy” Teresa. He was one of few who knew that she was a fraud. Of her incessant moaning about the world’s poor — it was such good self-promotion — Hitchens wrote: “She didn’t love the poor. She loved poverty.” Of course. Without it she would be out of a job, or mission, or quest. Poverty was her constant.
Another well known constant is Jew-hating. The Palestinians don’t love themselves. They exist to hate and kill Jews. Why? Could it be that while the Jews continue to advance and prosper, their Arab enemies remain mostly in the Stone Age?
Evan Sayet explains. Leftists, he says, always choose evil over good. See his lectures on YouTube. Leftists love evil more than they love themselves, or anything else.
If in the future there is to be a good and just war, it will involve Israel blowing the Mideast to smithereens. The Jews realize they may die in such a conflagration, but they also know that they as a people will never again be subjugated.
So while the Jews continue to advance and contribute to civilization with their brilliant technology, the Arabs continue to live in squalor, and throw rocks at what they cannot understand. This explains American Leftists’ devotion to Palestine. They look at Israel and say: “Is it good? Yes? Well then, destroy it.”
The history of the Palestinian/Jewish conflict is sad. I will add a description later today when I am not typing on my phone.
