HIDDEN ANTI-SEMITIC CLUES
Anti-Semitism is a permanent mental failing of parts of Western Society, but on certain occasions and circumstances it is difficult to recognize. If there is violence in the streets such as when the Nazis burned synagogues and Jewish businesses, or Anti-Semitic slurs in the press or on T.V. what is happening needs no explanation. It has become improper in society to disparage Jews in public, just as it is not the right thing to do to make anti-black and anti-Asian comments. The internet is in a class by itself and is full of anti-Semitic diatribes. Nothing can be done about the internet and the authorities seem to be accepting of the situation.
When Israel is treated differently than any other sovereign country, the anti-Zionism is in fact anti-Semitism and this is the HIDDEN CLUE. It is difficult to assess anti-Semitism in the guise of anti-Zionism as no country is perfect, and citizens world-wide have the right to criticize and exercise that right with many countries, as well as Israel.
However, sometimes situations occur which unless the the people are completely and utterly biased, the anti-Semitism is recognizable. It is generally an accepted fact that 650,000 to 700,000 Palestinians became refugees during and after the creation of Israel. Whether they left willingly or were pushed out, is in contention to this day.
There are two agencies working under the U.N. umbrella, who sole function is to support refugees, UNRWA, the United Nations Refugee and Works Agencies for Palestinian refugees in the near East, and UNHCR, the United Nations High Commissions For Refugees, excluding Palestinians. UNRWA contends that there are now seven million Palestinian refugees and this figure is possible only because the children and grandchildren of former Palestinians living in Israel at the time of the 1948 war are considered refugees. UNHCR, which is mandated to assist all refugees except Palestinians, contends that refugee status cannot be inherited. UNHCR also attempts to settle refugees in other countries, which is rejected by UNRWA. Of the number of people who were refugees in 1948, only about 30,000 remain. UNRWA has 30,000 employees. UNHCR employs 6,000 people. UNRWA is not a neutral U.N. agency as it educates Palestinian students with a negative idea of Israel and also calls for violence against Israel. A basic tenant of UNRWA is it advocates the right of return of all Palestinians under their aegis.
Why are Palestinian refugees different from refugees around the world? Why does the U.N. have a separate agency for Palestinians? For centuries refugees have travelled the world from country to country to escape war, persecution or natural disasters. When England rejected Catholicism Protestants from Holland flocked to England,when the Tsar of Russia persecuted Jews in Poland and Russia they left, and refugees fled throughout the world to escape nazism and communism. These people`s children did not claim status in the country they left.Are Palestinian refugees different. Not REALLY! A refugee is a refugee is a refugee so how can they claim rights no other refugees claim.? SIMPLE.They are refugees from Israel and Israel is not judged by the same standards as other countries.
On October 28 2015 a conference was called in Vienna to discuss the situation in Syria. The following countries attended and I assume it was by invitation. The U.S.,U.K.,Russia,Turkey,Iran ,China,Egypt,Iraq, Saudi Arabia U.A.E ,Qatar,Oman,Lebanon,Jordan,France,Italy,Germany E.U. and the U.N. The country next door to Syria and at war with Syria since 1948 was not invited. Does one need any proof that Israel is treated DIFFERENTLY.
The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to demonstrate to the world that Israel is not willing to negotiate a two state solution. They also make sure they pass the message on to their people that if they just support them long enough the whole are of Gaza, Israel and The West bank will be Palestine. I bring to your attention the schools of the Palestinian authority that teach hatred of the Jews and their vile nature and their maps which show all of the area as Palestine with no mention of Israel. I hate to say it but so many of the maps put out by world map makers leave out the state of Israel. A recent map depicted in Red boundaries show the map of Palestine with red borders and the red is depicted as the blood of terrorist Yasmin Al-ZARU a 20 year old Palestinian girl who died in an Israeli hospital after being shot trying to stab an Israeli officer.
Freedom House, a U.S. based organization promotes freedom and democracy and also publishes an annual ranking of press freedom. It recently downgraded Israel from “FREE” to “PARTLY FREE”. The reason is nearly unbelievable. A newspaper owned by Sheldon Adelson, an American, the newspaper called Yisael Hayom is too dominant and because Adelson is a billionaire can afford to lose money and makes the competition unfair. If you have ever visited Israel you would know the newspapers are constantly fighting one another with no problem. In the U.K. the biggest television network is funded by the government. No problem, the U.K.`s ranking “FREE”. Guatemala, Colombia are also ranked “PARTLY FREE” even though there are assaults and harassment and detaining of editors. This is not happening in Israel. It is obvious–ISRAEL IS TREATED DIFFERENTLY, even by the American organization “Freedom House”.
There is a problem for the unresolved issue of who can live in a Palestinian state. It appears that Jews are not welcome but Israeli Arabs are. It is not that settlers are the problem, it is the fact that these particular settlers are Jews. In other resolved issues where there was a settler problem the U.N. and the world solved the problem by allowing the settlers to stay. When east Timor received independence the Indonesians were allowed to stay, the Vietnamese were allowed to remain in Cambodia and there are others. Why can settlers stay in all resolved situations except with settler Jews.
At a parade to mark the 36th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of Iran on a truck on a banner was the following message. If the Zionist regime makes a mistake, Iran will turn Tel Aviv and Haifa to dust. What other country is threatened with annihilation. Only the Jewish state!
