The Whole World Hates Israel

Or so says the cowardly Anonymous #666. I don't know if this person is a she or a he so to give myself some comfort in light of the ghastly things it writes, I will write of this person as "It".

And so It's comments don't go unanswered in a timely fashion, I'll take It's comments sentence or section by section. 

The whole world hates Israel. Not because of religion or ethnicity but because you are slaughtering innocent and trapped people, thousands of children!

Oh, so many answers to this...where do I begin?

• The whole world? It, dear friend, the whole world agrees on nothing, not one single thing, even death. You see, as Nasrallah (may he rest in pieces) said, "The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win, because they love life and we love death.” So even on death, we don't all agree. Further, clearly President Donald Trump doesn't hate Israel, nor do several other leaders around the world (mainly those with brains and even an ounce of courage). 
  
  
• Not because of religion or ethnicity but because we are slaughtering and trapping people. Well, I'll try to think of a non-four letter word...or actually 8 letters. Until I find one I feel comfortable saying allow me to explain. Well, sure, that would mean that the world didn't murder my people because they were Jews but because we slaughtered people...and yet...
  
  
• 1298 - Germany: Rintfleisch massacres across Bavaria and Austria. Estimated 5,000+ deaths. - Jews slaughtered no one...but Jews were slaughtered.

• 1648-1657 - Chmielnicki Massacres (Ukraine): Led by Bohdan Chmielnicki. One of the worst pre-modern massacres. Estimated 100,000+ deaths.

  1768 - Haidamaka Massacres (Ukraine): Anti-Polish and anti-Jewish uprising. Estimated 20,000+ Jewish deaths.

• 1821 - Odessa: First incident to be labeled a "pogrom"

•  1903 - Kishinev, Russia: Major pogrom. 47-49 killed, 400+ wounded.

  1905 - Odessa: As many as 1,000 Jews died at the hands of Greeks and Russians in the pogrom

• 1918-1921 - Ukraine: More than 1,100 pogroms killed over 100,000 Jews during the Russian Civil War period

•  And wait - look at this - No Israel yet, no army, no Jews slaughtering anyone, but in Hebron in 1929- 69 Jews were murdered by Arabs who claimed (like they do today) that Jews were going to try to take over the Temple Mount

• 1938 - 91 Jews murdered on Kristallnacht...November 9...by Germans rampaging against Jews, not Israelis.

• And, wait - in Tsfat (Safed) in 1517, Mamluk forces massacred 300 Jewish families accusing them of conspiring with the Ottoman forces

• And in Tsfat in 1660, Ottoman allies and local Arabs massacred pretty much the entire Jewish community in Safed.

• And in Tsfat in 1834 - another pogrom by armed Arab and Bedouin villagers began murdering the Jews and raping their wives. Hundreds were wounded and the possessions of the Jews was looted. No Israelis were there; no children (except ours) were massacred. And still...look at that - hatred.

• And again in 1838 - in Tsfat - all with no Israelis in sight.

• All of these Jews were murdered because they were Jews - like the Holocaust, like October 7, like the Jewish man who was beaten in Montreal, the synagogues burned in Australia, Greece and elsewhere.

Because you are colonizers.

Oh My God. We are colonizers? So many answers. First and foremost, you can't colonize your own land. Second, if we are colonizers, we are pretty pathetic at it. We are smaller than nearly every other country in the Middle East.  

Christian-majority countries: ~120 (60% of all countries)

Muslim-majority countries: ~50-53 (roughly 25-27% of all countries)

Jewish-majority countries: 1 (roughly 0.5% of all countries

Yes, the Its that hide behind their keyboards and say horrid things love to accuse us of being colonizers, but in general, Israel is a very strong, successful nation. If we wanted to colonize, we would. That we don't colonize proves we choose not to. 

 Israel is a pariah state.

If it is, that says more about the world than it does about Israel. 

I hate Israel, not Jewish people in my country.

Well, I doubt many people reading this blog would believe you. I surely don't. First, you don't know enough about Israel to hate it and second, I pray for the Jewish people in your country. They need all the prayers they can get. 

If Jews in my country were attacked only because they are Jews I would stand by their side.

Sure - if you had the guts to tell me what country you are from, I'd probably have a field day proving you wrong on this one. 

On the other hand I hate the Christian sionists and I’m from a Christian country. The antisemitic card doesn’t work anymore.

Well, a hint. "Sionist" is apparently not a sign of ignorance and illiteracy. It's possible It is from Spain or Portugal. I'm going to guess Spain, land of the Spanish Inquisition and OMG, how funny is that? Could someone from Spain be stupid enough to claim that Jews are safe in Spain? 

Some information on Spain: The 2024 Antisemitism Report reveals a record-breaking 321% rise in antisemitic incidents compared to 2023, and a 567% increase since 2022. During the week of October 8, 2023, a synagogue in Madrid was vandalized with antisemitic graffiti using a Jewish star.

And in Portugal, demonstrators held signs that called to  "cleanse the world of Jews" and urged property owners "not to rent to Jews." And in Portugal, like Spain, a synagogue was vandalized there too.

Nobody gives a f*** what God you believe in.

Well, if I cared what nobody thought, I might be upset, but I don't really care what Nobody thinks (whoever that is) and I don't care what It thinks. 

You should not be traveling on vacation abroad while your country is committing crimes against humanity. I hope someone doesn’t throw away their passports. 😂

Have no fear. For business reasons, I have had to travel several times abroad in the last almost 24 months and not once did I travel while my country was committing war crimes. Had I traveled for every single day of the last almost 24 months, that comment would be the same. I can't respond to the second sentence. It's not properly written so I don't know who the subject is. 

And yeah, you can complain about my English as much as you want. It’s your native language as an American. It’s the fourth language I learned.

To It's comment about languages, you know four languages and you don't even know your own name? Wow, that's sad. 

Yes, I am an American citizen and an Israeli citizen. I have spent more than half my life in Israel; my great-grandfather, my father, and mother are all buried in this land. I'm not complaining about your English. My father has traced our lineage for 52 generations...they lead back to this land where my ancestors lived. I know their names, when they lived and died.

As to your language skills, I regularly interact with non-native English speakers. I do complain about your level of English or your claim that you do have no hatred of Jews - yes, yes, you say you hate Israelis but the truth you are too cowardly to face, It, is that you are the epitome of today's antisemite. Hiding your hatred of my religion and my people by saying you hate my land (and all those who follow my religion in this land.

But we Jews are not blind, nor are we stupid. We see you. We've always seen you. What we have done, finally, is take away your power to hurt us. Bugs the hell out of you, doesn't it, It?
