People believe what they want to believe. No matter how anachronistic. It is quite curious. Their derangement would be quite amusing if it were not so dangerous.

The propaganda happens quite blatantly. We are the ones who are castigated if we notice, if we complain.

Hi Daniel, something else:

I don't understand why Israel is not accusing France at the International Court of Justice for genocide done in Congo, and Belgium for its role in the Rwanda genocide.

Do you understand this?

Daniel Clarke-Serret's avatar

There is a lot I don’t understand in the world Donca.

Thank you, Daniel! This is a most timely poem! Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew born in Judea. He was not a Palestinian as no such state existed then or now. No Arab state ever existed in the holy land. It was ruled by the Ottoman and British Empires respectively before the state of Israel was born in 1948. Furthermore, the first Arab didn’t step foot in the holy land until long after Jesus was crucified and had died. Guess what existed long before any Arab Settlers arrived in the land? The Kingdoms of Israel and Judea. Let’s get something else straight, if Jesus were born and lived in the West Bank today, he, Mary and Joseph be run out on a rail if not lynched. Nor would he or his parents be allowed to become Palestinian citizens.

The charge the Jews killed Jesus is just absurd. Yes, a few Jewish leaders were jealous of him and helped in getting him arrested and crucified. But the Jewish people as a whole did not crucify Jesus. Let’s not forget it was the Romans who arrested, tried and executed Jesus because they feared he’d lead a rebellion in Judea against Roman rule. So by that logic shouldn’t the Italians be blamed for killing Jesus not the Jews? Yes, the Jews rejected Jesus and did not accept him as the son of God. But that was and is their choice. They had and have the right to practice their religion the way they see fit and if they could not accept Jesus being the son of God well, that’s just how human nature works. We simply are not going to agree on everything or all believe the same thing.

Plus, imagine someone in your community coming to you and saying he was the son of God? It would be pretty hard to believe wouldn’t it? You can’t blame them for being skeptical of such a claim.

The Palestinian people have faced great suffering, discrimination and abuse but never on the scale or for as long a duration as the Jewish people and never because they were accused of killing a man millions around the world consider their lord and savior. The Jews supposedly killing Jesus was used as justification to do horrible things to them.

The Palestinian people have not endured several millennia of persecution, pogroms, expulsions, discrimination, second-class citizenship, mass murder, and genocide. While the Nazis hated Arabs and mistreated and stole from local Arabs and raped Arab women in North Africa, it was not they who the Nazis saw as their main enemy and the cause of all the world’s problems and murdered six million of. That would be the Jewish people. By the way, Palestinian Arabs did all sorts of horrible stuff to Jews. They waged too many pogroms to count against the Jews of the holy land dating back to the 1500s long before Zionism was ever a thing.

People who say the Palestinians welcomed the Jews are daft. They did no such thing. They hated the Jews and saw them as intruders who had no rightful claim to the land at all. They were willing to tolerate them as a minority but when they started to come in big numbers after the Holocaust, then they dialed up their violence to a ten. In 1948, they are and their Arab allies waged a genocidal war on the Jews of the holy land. They massacred whole villages, mowed down convoys trying to get food, water and humanitarian supplies to Jerusalem and hacked women and children to death. Were their atrocities committed by Jews against Palestinian Arabs too? Certainly and those were equally wrong. But the difference is, the Jews never sought to exterminate the Palestinians. But the same can’t be said in the opposite direction. As long as Arab communities didn’t put up any resistance or help the invading Arab armies, they were allowed to stay.

The Arabs slaughtered any Jews that came across their path. This was for them, a war of extermination and the Jews were rats, vermin that needed to wiped out. Arabs who remained in the newborn state of Israel became citizens and got the right to vote and representation in the Knesset. Jews living in Arab countries got violence done to them, their property and assets seized, their rights stripped away, and were forced to leave the country. Notice the stark difference between the morality of the two sides? Returning to the main subject, I don’t recall Palestinian Arabs ever being accused by being behind capitalism and communism simultaneously, running all the banks, killing JFK, doing 9/11, murdering children, drinking blood, or having no loyalty to any country but only to themselves as Jews were all accused of. Blood libels apply to one people and one people only, Jews. Alfred Dreyfus, Leo Frank and Alan Berg were all Jews NOT Palestinians. Theodor Herzl, Nathan Birnbaum and Leon Pinsker were Jews NOT Palestinian Arabs.

By the way, do you know who was called Palestinian up until 1948? Jews. The Palestinian soccer team? Started by Jews. The Palestine Post? A Jewish newspaper. Palestinian Airways? Started by a Jewish man in conjunction with the Jewish Agency in Palestine. Also, there was NEVER any Zionist plan to expel the Palestinians. Yes, they talked about transfer but only in private and only after the two bloody Arab revolts because they feared the Arabs would never let them live in peace. But in public they continued to fight for coexistence with the Arabs and it never came to pass nor was it ever officially part of Zionist policy.

Theodor Herzl, David Ben-Gurion and Vladimir Jabotinsky all believed the future Jewish state should be a state for Jews and non-Jews alike and that the local Arabs should be allowed to stay and be equal citizens in the new state. There was never any ethnic cleansing of Palestinians but there were many, many cases of ethnic cleansing against Jews all over the globe, by Europeans and Arabs alike. Palestinian Arabs weren’t enslaved by the Ancient Egyptians, weren’t murdered, looted and raped by Cossacks, expelled from England, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, slaughtered by Russians, Poles and Ukrainians, spied on by the KGB, barred from staying in many hotels or buying houses in certain parts of the USA, and targeted for extermination by Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist Workers Party in Nazi Germany.

No he is not. He was a Jew. These idiots need to read the Bible. I know you know but that neon stupidity pissed me off. In a van from Ben Gurion to Jerusalem. Shabbat Shalom!

People invent a narrative and then tailor history and truth to fit it. Ancient trick.

Fantastic poem! Thank you for publishing it.

Miriam Arte Sacra exposes the moral absurdity that arises when modern ideological fantasy collides with ancient truth and historical reality. True peace comes from truth, not political slogans.
