The World Upside Down
Alexander Kimel
This world is upside down. Imagine 260 million Arabs are trying to
obliterate the small State of Israel and Israel is perceived as the
aggressor. Where is the logic?
In 1948, at the time of creation of Israel, the Middle East contained 80
million Arabs and only 800,000 Jews. Eighty million Arabs
declared war on Israel because they could not stomach the presence of a
small state with different people and a diversified
culture. Today Israel and Zionism are equated with racism. Where is the
logic?
Over fifty years the Arab world is trying to push Israel into the sea,
and
Israel is branded as the aggressor. Today in the Middle
East there are 260 million Arabs and 5 million Israelis and the world
believes that 260 million of Arabs are victimized by 5 million
Israelis. Where is the logic?
Today in the Middle East there are a dozen of theocratic, autocratic and
tyrannical Moslem states and only one democratic State
of Israel. Somehow the world believes that the small democratic state
is
the sole obstacle to peace in the Middle East and a
danger to world peace. Where is the logic?
The Palestinians introduced world wide terror by hijacking planes,
killing
Olympic athletes, murdering scores of schoolchildren,
suicide bombings designed for mass killings. The Al Qaeda introduced the
killings and maiming in the name of God. All those
actions undermine the basis of any civilization and still the Left, with
the
self declared conscience of humanity, supports the
Palestinian violence and put the blame on the Jews. Where is the logic?
I believe that there is a logical explanation for this outrageous
behavior.
Two thousand years of Demonization of the Jews by the
teaching of the Churches, developed a widespread subconscious
anti-Jewish
bias. Like the Devil the Jews are perceived as
powerful, wicked, able and manipulating. This archetype notion of Jews
makes
any nonsense believable, and the world pays a
steep price for this. It was anti-Semitism that allowed Hitler to start
the
WW2, causing widespread blood and destruction.
Today
anti-Semitism is promoting world wide terror that causes insecurity,
bloodshed and wide economic dislocations. I believe that it is
our obligation to preach a Gospel understanding and acceptance. We are
all
children of the same Creator. It is time for the world to wake up and get wise before it is too late.
