Midas Ha Din: Jewish Blame
By Jeanette Friedman
I am not going to bother writing down the quotes and naming sources. Every reader of Jewish newspapers and blogs, and just about everyone who gets into a discussion about the current situation in the Middle East seems to be blaming the Jews, including the Jews.
What this reminds me of is the way my relatives, Rabbi Joel Teitlebaum, the Satmar Rebbe, and my uncle’s father-in-law, the Minchas Elazar, the Wonder Rabbi of Munkacs, both blamed the Zionists for the Holocaust. It’s like the haredi thinking today: that the Holocaust was a punishment on the Jews for believing in the Enlightenment, for eating ham in the rebbe’s courtyard on Yom Kippur—as if Hitler didn’t have the idea, regardless of the apostates, the Reform movement, or the Zionists.
The tune today is the same, only the lyrics are different. I hear constant accusations against Ehud Barak, the former Prime Minister of Israel, and against Ehud Olmert, for pulling out of Southern Lebanon and Gaza, and thereby causing today’s “situation� (matzav). Sharon, they claim, was justly punished by being felled like a large oak tree. Perhaps thousands of martyrs in a new Masada would have placated all the armchair quarterbacks and self-styled strategic experts who decried the forcible eviction of an indefensible population. Imagine all those poor Gush Katif settlers, who were treated so abominably by their own, if they would still be there. This confrontation was coming, disengagement or not—and it has been years in the making.
It is time to face reality: Israel’s wars have not been about occupation. It’s about Jews being allowed to exist. And that is NOT permitted. On this one issue, Sunnis and Shiites are united: Jews need to be killed wherever they live.
Ehud Barak understood this very clearly. He knows the Arab mentality. In Taba, he knowingly called Arafat’s bluff. Don’t believe me? Ask Bill Clinton and Dennis Ross. They finally got Arafat’s number and wanted to prove it to the world, in order to negate Oslo. Barak always understood that this was about Israel’s existence, not occupation.
How do I know? One day in Jerusalem, I walked over and thanked the former Prime Minister for putting an end to eight years of the charah (crap) called Oslo. He gave me two thumbs up, and said one word in Hebrew: “Hayvant.� I got it.
Olmert, as well, knows he has no negotiating partners, despite the disingenuous pantomime staged for the world community. How does one deal with the likes of an Abu Mazen and his Holocaust denial, his thugs, and the PA presses as they continue to publish record numbers of Mein Kampf and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion? Two weeks before the disengagement I challenged him to ask Abu Mazen if he still believed his doctoral thesis. “Yes or no,� I said, “and then you know who you are dealing with.� Olmert promised to send Abu Mazen my regards.
While the world community beat its “humanitarian� breasts and the Arab League jiggled around in its coin purse and eked out a few charitable pennies, Iran, Syria and Al Queda have all been “investing� in the region while the impoverished Palestinians destroyed the $14 million greenhouses that were supposed to provide them with a living. Arms and heroin sales—as well as petrodollars and market manipulation— are all in play. So are China and North Korea, not to mention Russia and the U.S. The Middle East is the world’s battleground, and right now we will find out once and for all what lessons the people and leaders of the world learned from the political pusillanimity and appeasement that became the Holocaust.
This war wasn’t caused by the Jews, no matter what the Kachniks, righties, haredim, socialist lefties and antisemites say. (Just ask Mel Gibson, who rants “F**n’ Jews. They’re responsible for all the wars in the world.�) This war is not a punishment from God. It is a war created by very skilled Jew haters who have been using Hitlerian propaganda methods since 1939 to poison the lifeblood of their own children with hatred against the infidel and calling for the destruction of the Jewish people, Hindus, Christians, Bahai and others everywhere on God’s green Earth.
Today the Israelis are protecting the world’s infidels from the Islamofascists, and all the spin doctors and mavens, please do the world a favor, just shut up and let them do the job. Remember, the people who chose to surround themselves with terrorists had options…and they chose hatred, violence, war and death. Israel is trying to stop it and let them know this will not stand.
But we know what will happen. The world condemns Israel for wiping out terrorists and will wait for the fancy ghetto called Israel to go up in flames and claim another 6,000,000. Those survivors of the Holocaust who haven’t already died will not be spared the vision of knowing that all of their suffering and teaching was in vain, and that everything they built will once again be destroyed because good people will do nothing to stop the terror and the hate and will stand idly by with folded arms, as Hamas, Al Queda, Iran, Syria and Hezbollah claim victory because of the stupidity of the world.
