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.”
For almost 1,500 years Jews and Muslim Arabs were allies. That began to change in the late 1800s. To appreciate how and why, it is first necessary to understand Insh’Allah.
The phrase in Arabic means “If God so wills.” Unfortunately, among the remaining satrapies of the Caliphate, it degenerated into absolute fatalism. Things must already be the way God wants, and nobody can change them. Thus, when the Zionist movement approached small landowners in what is now Israel, they gladly sold the worthless land to the Jews. The land wouldn’t bear crops, so that must be what God wants. Insh’allah.
The Jews only partly agreed. If God so wills, and if I irrigate, and if I fertilize, and if I weed – in other words, if I do the necessary things to grow crops. Soon the land bore crops. The previous owners felt stupid. Nobody likes feeling stupid, so the satraps – middle management – told them the Jews had cheated them. The prior owners were soon out for blood.
During World War I, the Axis and the Allies took turns trying to recruit various groups in the Middle East, resulting in total confusion. Jews continued being persecuted in Europe, and the New World (except for Colombia) refused to take them in. They were on their own. Every Jew in Europe and many in Africa got to land controlled by the Jews if they could. The population swelled. When they moved outward to accommodate the increased population, they eventually reached Jerusalem. The city was split between the two groups.
After WW II, the French and British awarded what is now Israel to the Jews and the rest of the area to the Arab Muslims. The armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and God knows who else attacked simultaneously. The Jews surrendered the Old City so that the Arabs wouldn’t destroy the temples. They destroyed them anyway.
Over the next 50 years the Arab Muslims repeatedly attacked. Various Arab Muslim groups, such as the Intifada and the PLO were organized to get rid of the Jews. During that period, they killed approximately 500 other Arab Muslims for every Jew killed. The Awill rab Muslims in the West Bank eventually became so obstreperous that Jordan repudiated its claim to the West bank. Since the territory now belonged to nobody, Israel took charge.
This is not intended as a defense of Israel. I don’t know enough about what is going on there by the government. It is intended as a defense of the Jews. Ilhan Omar is somewhat correct. We need to be able to differentiate between the State of Israel and Jews.
This goes up later today on my own column. Wanted you to have first read.
Ilhan Omar's comments (echoed by Rashida Tlaib) assume that IDF bullets killed the journalist and that Israel, as always, must be held accountable for what she calls human rights violations. If the PA allowed forensics experts to study the bullet that killed Ms. Akleh, Omar's most recent attack on the nation of Israel would collapse like a house made of cards.

Not going to click Like because I have to think about 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.
