Why is Israel blamed for evil while Islamic nations are not?
Dan Miller's Blog ^ | December 21, 2014 | Dan Miller

Blaming Israel for evil, rather than her many Islamic neighbors and enemies, is -- despite the views of Obama and His colleagues -- contrary to American values. Doing so is based on Jew hatred, envy of success, and the multicultural absurdity that no culture or religion is better or worse than any other.

As I argued most recently here and here, Israel is fighting for her survival against regimes that want her to cease to exist because she is Jewish, not Islamic, and her government is free and democratic, not dictatorial. She is, therefore, an outsider in the Middle East.

This video identifies many of the reasons why Israel is viewed harshly by other Western civilizations while Islamic nations, which are neither free nor democratic, are viewed favorably.

I suspect that Dr. Ben Carson, who recently visited Israel and was much impressed, would agree with the points made in the video.

Although the U.S. remains Israel’s closest and most important ally, Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have little personal chemistry and have frequently clashed. The U.S. has been outspoken in its criticism of Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem — captured areas claimed by the Palestinians as parts of a future state. At the same time, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has made numerous trips to the region and elsewhere to try to broker a peace deal.

Carson said the criticism of the settlements has been exaggerated, and he asserted that Palestinian hostility toward Israel is what is preventing peace in the region. Of Netanyahu, Carson said, “I think he’s a great leader in a difficult time.” [Emphasis added.]

Because liberalism always seeks to blame the most responsible party. So if you’re prudent in your spending and savings, they’ll punish you by bailing out the spendthrift. If you’re deeper pocketed, you’ll be blamed. If you’re more mature, you’ll be blamed. Liberalism is built on maximizing victimization and rewarding infantilism.

The reason is actually the opposite of this. The media and "intelligentsia" in the west expect Israel to live up to the standards of civilized people. They do not have the same expectations of Muslims because...well because they are racists. They simple do not think brown peoples should be held to that same standard.

And every time Israel is promised peace for concessions the line is moved and there is no peace. There is no logic to it when you are dealing with dishonest criminal minds.

[[Why do the nut cases in the lame stream media all against the God of the Jews and Christians, yet find Islam okay??]]

Because their father, the Devil, has deceived them, that’s why

[[The lame streams have the most warped minds of any group I know.]]

Their father the Devil has deceived them- lies are truth to them- they prefer the dark over the light because their hearts are desperately wicked, and light exposes darkness and evil- therefore they hate the light and all those who stand in the light- Their hearts are evil, and they will go to their grave shaking their fists in God’s face in pure hatred of Him and His people-

There is a saying “To the Christian, earth is the only hell they will ever know, but to the unsaved, earth is the only heaven they will ever know”

And how true it is- They have a very rude awakening coming to them, BUT, they will be getting exactly what their evil wicked hearts desire- eternity outside the presence of God- they will go to hell knowingly and gladly because their hatred of God knows no bounds- they will have only the4mselves to blame when they wind up in hell because they had a lifetime to accept the truth, and they CHOSE not to

Because they are third world brown people. It’s that simple.


It’s a bit more complex than that:
— Israel represents an outpost of Western civilization that has “colonized” the Middle East and, therefore, is inherently racist and apartheid
— The Intellgensia has concluded that as long as Israel exists, Muslims will be restive. That Muslims are really restive because a) they are insane and b) the superiority of the West makes them even MORE insane does not enter into consideration
—Israel listens to them, whereas Muslim nations largely do not
— They are Jews and Jews are always expendable

It’s happening because God has decreed that it will happen!

The Jews killed Christ, the Gentiles killed Christ and the Romans (more specifically) killed Christ. In addition to that, God the Father decreed that Jesus must be killed.

It looks like EVERYONE was involved, including God, himself!

I know. That’s what’s been my argument against people who say the Jews killed Christ. I was just being fatuous .... also people who tell me I can’t be a Messianic Jew ...

Rich White People (Europe, America, Christian and Jews)

Jews as Semitic people are related to Arabs, so no racial difference. Also, technically most Europeans and Americans are Indo-Europeans, so related to the brown people of the subcontinent

“Jews as Semitic people are related to Arabs, so no racial difference. Also, technically most Europeans and Americans are Indo-Europeans, so related to the brown people of the subcontinent.”

Technically you are right. But Leftists and Their Media Lap Dogs are able to change definitions and facts at will to suit their narratives.

The narrative is that Rich White People in developed nations have unfairly stolen wealth and riches from the poor non white peoples of the world.

George Zimmerman became a “white-hispanic” to fit the narrative of a powerful racists gun carrying white guy picking on a young innocent skiddles eating black boy.

So actual facts are not important. So the reason Palestinians are not condemned is because they are being unfairly dominated by a more powerful westernized nation that has no concern for the plight of the little guy.
