Isreal, has their battles as well. Some we too may find unconscionable. However, we have many Jewish brothers and sisters here in America and we have a duty to protect their rights and freedoms, as we do all Americans who come under the unwarranted attacks of Hate crimes.

Israel, firmly under the control of the Zionist ideology and about to vote in the most rabidly extreme government in its history, has engaged in “horrible treatment of Palestinians” ever since European Ashkenazi Zionists began to invade the Holy Land over a century ago. There have been mistakes made on both sides of the divide, but the mostly Jewish Zionists (I write “mostly” because of the bizarre “Christian Zionists” in the US and elsewhere…) are in control…and they are not benevolent controllers. Despite the fact that they are in illegal occupation of the 45 percent rump of the Holy Land “bequeathed” to the native Palestinians via UN General Assembly Resolution 181 in November 1947 — reduced to 22 percent in 1947-49 when the UN failed to stop Zionist aggression — the Zionists are steadily (illegally, mind you) populating vast amounts of that 22 percent via settlements/colonies of rabid Zionists brought in from Brooklyn, Russia, etc. Our US, via its every action if not the occasional word of the Zionists’ actions “unhelpfulness” in achieving any sort of just solution to the Palestinians’ torment, has been most “unhelpful” to the Christian and Muslim Palestinians.

I am a 50-year observer of this horror, having been assigned by the US Army in 1964 to learn the Arabic language and culture for one year. Along the way, I was educated to the injustice meted out to the Palestinians and became an avid supporter of their legitimate rights and aspirations under international law. That international law, of course, would not need to be applied if the United Nations had not passed UNGA Res. 181, which was the most flagrant in a long time of trampling on the Palestinians who were just awakening to the nationalistic spirit dreaming of independence and nationhood sweeping the world in those days.

Israel does itself no favors by its acts of apartheid and slow genocide against the Palestinians. Some people take those acts and subscribe to farther-reaching activities that morph into conspiracy theories and — possibly — may lead to true, “classic” anti-Jewishness.

I’d like to think that reasonable, objective commenters might expand on SAS’ and my words; come to some understanding of the Palestinians’ unjust treatment that is the crux of many of the problems and much of the hatred across the Muslim and general world; and begin a campaign which might have as its lead “Israel: Accord justice and dignity to the mistreated people of Palestine…and you will have begun a process of mitigating and ending the flashpoint of many people’s current disaffection with Israel and the Zionists holding swayi…a disaffection that, unfortunately, can lead to unintended consequences.”

There have been plenty of opportunities, under these theories, for the Jews to complete this task of destroying the world, and they’ve never done it…just in the last century alone, we had two unimaginably bloody world wars, several equally bloody small ones, some nuclear confrontations, a couple of energy crises, massive terrorist attacks, major natural disasters, and “Dancing With the Stars” inflicted upon us.

And civilization is still rolling right along. If the Jews were trying to take over the world and create an environment where there was a kosher delicatessen flying the hammer-and-sickle on every street corner, they’re doing a bloody fatuous job of doing it.

And the anti-Semites who screech this rubbish are all alive and well, running their internet sites and on-line radio stations, spouting their filth. If the Jews really did dominate everything by now, you’d think creeps like this would have been taken off the air, their radio stations raided by the cops, and the tiger would either be imprisoned or found stuffed headfirst in a garbage can, the victim of an apparent street mugging.

Never happens. Sort of like the theories they spout. They never happen.

The Pirate Party I know has promised a parrot on every shoulder and a peg on every leg. I’m personally a big fan of their progressive amputation policies!
