Here is the beginning of Nils A. Haug’s ugly-but-factual commentary from the Gatestone Institute, titled “Blame It on the Jews!”:
-
- To their enemies, the Jews cannot do anything right. They are hated when they are strong; they are hated when they are weak. They are hated when they are poor; they are hated when they are rich. They are hated when they win; they are hated when they lose.
- How this unfounded, blatantly anti-Semitic blaming of innocent Jews arose is difficult to fathom — particularly as the traditional custodians and purveyors of Judeo-Christian moral-ethical precepts are, in fact, the Jews. It is their principles — the Judeo-Christian values — that underpin Western Civilization…
- Even after the unspeakable events in Israel of October 7, 2023, with the slaughter of more than 1,200 innocents, many onlookers held Israel and the Jews — not Hamas and Iran — primarily responsible for the horror.
Frequently, the small population of Jews are held responsible for geopolitical and other events far beyond their control.
This week, two American “far-left” anti-Israel groups — Code Pink and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), among others — actually blamed Israel for the ongoing California wildfires.
“When US taxes go to burning people alive in Gaza, we can’t be surprised when those fires come home,” Code Pink posted on Instagram.
It was, in fact, Palestinians from Gaza who burned Israelis alive — including infants — that started the current conflict. If you do not want your people killed, do not start a war.
Code Pink apparently receives a major portion of its funding from an American couple, Sri-Lankan-born Neville Roy Singham and his wife Jodie Evans, based in Shanghai.
“‘Jewish Voice for Peace’ is Neither,” and appears to be a “false-flag” operation:
“Many of its chapters were started by non-Jews. In 2019, Facebook’s transparency feature revealed that the JVP page administrator was based in Lebanon, a fact that JVP later tried to hide.”
JVP, reportedly with “ties to terrorism,” has been given $490,000 by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and $75,000 from the Tides Foundation, funded, along with others, by George Soros, with $875,000 coming directly from Soros’s Open Society Foundations.
The commentary continues, and I urge you to use the above link to read it all.
Then wonder, along with me, why. WHY?????????
Is it that the Jews “killed Christ” – a claim that was license to slaughter Jews for centuries?
Is it the 100% fraudulent libel about Jews using gentile blood to make matzohs on Passover?
Is it resentment that Jews, always a tiny minority (except in hated Israel), always seem to far outperform other groups in so many areas – such as science, medicine, technology and agriculture (among others)?
I’d say those factors certainly contributed to the hatred…along with anything else Jew-haters could come up with as well.
Regardless of the reasons, however, Jew-hatred is a millennia-old reality. And, as recent events have told us, it shows no sign of abating.
As Jews, I guess we just have to live with it…if we’re allowed to live, with it or without it, that is.
