Mideast Brand Of Hatred Finds A Home In America
Townhall.com ^ | August 1, 2019 | Will Alexander

My close friend, Hyman, told me a story about a Jewish boy and a Catholic boy who were the best of friends.  One day while the Jewish boy was hard at play, he felt a small hand slap him across the back of the head. Rubbing his head, he quickly turned around. It was his friend – huffing, puffing and ready to throw another blow.

“What’d-ja do that for?” he asked.

“Because the Jews killed Christ.”

“But that was over two thousand years ago!”

“Yeah, but my Mommy only told me yesterday.”

The point?  Hatreds never die when we keep passing them on to the next generation.

That’s what the Palestinians are doing by constantly slapping Israel across the head over its “occupation of Palestinian lands.” That’s what race hustlers are doing by constantly slapping America across the head over the horrors of slavery, as if whites dying by the hundreds of thousands to end slavery never happened.

Spouting warped interpretations of history, disenchanted “people of color” and advocates for Palestinian “liberation” are now teaming up to make America hate again.  Cocooned in the heroic language of equal justice, their twisted versions of history are anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Christian, anti-capitalist and wildly out of context.  

In a July 12 speech, senior Hamas official Fathi Hammad urged Palestinians abroad to kill Jews everywhere and said that Palestinians will “cleanse Palestine of the filth of the Jews,” by 2022. He believes that Islam is on the threshold of a “global Islamic civilizational era,” and that a third Intifada would transform Israel into an Islamic Caliphate.

“Our patience has run out,” Hammad said.  “We are on the verge of exploding. … But our brothers [in the diaspora] are still preparing.They are warming up.  They have been warming up for a year and a half.  A long time has passed with them warming up.Oh, you 7 million Palestinians abroad, enough of the warming up.  We must attack every Jew on Planet Earth. We must slaughter and kill them, with Allah’s help.”

The next day, Hammad threatened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman on TV. “We are coming to chop your heads off your necks.”

I don’t know what Rashida Tlaib or Ilhan Omar thinks of Hammad, but they’re no doubt busy warming Americans up to the idea that it’s OK to bash Israel over its “occupation” of Palestine.For some reason, it’s a really big deal for them.  

Omar introduced a resolution, July 17, to push back on laws that ban boycotting Israel.

Wrapping the anti-Israel BDS Movement into the Civil Rights Movement, Tlaib took to the floor of the House, July 23, to tell us that boycotting Israel is the same as boycotting Nazi Germany.

“The right to boycott is deeply rooted in the fabric of our country,” she said.  “Where would we be now without the boycott led by civil rights activists in the 1950s and ‘60s like the Montgomery bus boycott …”

As a “daughter of Palestinian immigrants,” Tlaib said she won’t stand for restricting rights to “boycott the racist policies of the government and state of Israel.”

She’s not alone.

Wearing a red T-Shirt with the words “Free Palestine,” Temple University professor Marc Lamont-Hill told 13-year-old Palestinian journalist/activist Janna Jihad at a “Existence is Resistance” gathering in New York, July 18, that he was “hurt” and “indignant” after being let go from CNN over remarks he made during the UN’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People in November.  CNN should have fired him in September after told his audience to stop romanticizing the civil rights tradition of nonviolence at the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights conference.

“(W)e have allowed this non-violent thing to become so normative that we’re undermining our own ability to resist in real robust ways,” he said during the conference, which was titled, “Together We Rise – Resilience Across Movements.”

“That’s the challenge,” he said.  “It romanticizes nonviolence, but how can you romanticize nonviolence when you have a state (Israel) that is at all moments waging war against you, against your bodies, poisoning your water, limiting your access to water, locking up your children, killing you.”

Lamont-Hill, known for his twisted version of Israeli-Palestinian history, said on July 19 that he may have gotten into trouble with CNN over the way he ended his UN speech.  Expressing solidarity with Palestinians, not only “in words,” but in actions, he said, “that will give us what justice requires, and that is a free Palestine from the river to the sea.”

“river” is the Jordan River and the “sea” is the Mediterranean Sea.  For Hamas, “from the river to the sea” is an open call for Israel’s destruction – a “final solution” to the Zionist occupation problem.

“From the river to the sea,” a mantra that’s also finding a home on U.S. college campuses, is really the crux of the matter.  

By their actions, Palestinians scream to the world that they aren’t serious about negotiating with Israel.Read the history.  If they really wanted an independent state, they’ve had many times opportunities since the 1930s: The Peel Commission partition plan in 1937; the U.N. Resolution 181 partition plan in 1947; the Camp David Summit plan in 2000; and Israel’s 2008 peace offer.  

After many of these negotiations, Palestinians resorted to violence, which demanded a swift Israeli response.  As late as May, militants in Gaza fired 250 rockets into Israel, forcing Israeli civilians into bomb shelters for much of the day.  Israel retaliated, four people were killed, and this is where Hamas gets the fresh fodder for their Israeli “occupation” horror stories: Israel defending itself.  

“We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children,” Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir said in 1969.“We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children.  We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”  

Today, they still hate Israel more, and they teach their children to hate them.And if we aren’t careful, tolerating race-baiters who use warped interpretations of slavery to whip up “people of color” could grow into something we’ve never seen in America: A bottomless pit of irreconcilable animosities that never end – just like in the Middle East.

In a 2005 “60 Minutes” interview, Mike Wallace asked actor Morgan Freeman how America can get rid of racism. His answer was simple.

“Stop talking about it.”

That’s great advice.

Per the article, this HamAss character
Fathi Hammad believes that, ‘Islam is on the threshold of a “global Islamic civilizational era,”’

Sorry pal but the words ‘Islamic’ and ‘civilization’ do not make sense, taken together. They are illogical. The phrase ‘Islamic civilization’ makes as much sense as a ‘square circle’ or a ‘four sided triangle’.

‘Islamic civilization’ does not compute.

Jesus came into the world to suffer and die for our sins. If that had not happened we would have no eternal hope. As Christians we should thank, not curse the Jews and Romans that crucified Him because it made salvation possible.

34Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? 35Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 37Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

St. John 18:34-37

Wth my hand on the Bible: I am not anti-Muslim. But I AM anti-Islam and I sure as shootin' am anti-Shari'a.

Permit me to explain. I know by personal experience hat there are Muslim people who are good neighbors, good citizens, and even rise to heights of moral heroism...like the Nigerian Muslim who was recently honored by the U.S. State Dept. for protecting and defending his Christian neighbors. May God bless and reward Imam Abubakar Abdullahi (LINK) for obeying the commandment of the real God, living and true, Who said "love your neighbors as yourself."

But Islam's so-called Holy Book teaches hate: it teaches that people of other religions deserve to be killed. God bless the Good Imam for not following the Evil Koran.

And Islam's program, in practice, is Shari'a: a system of oppressive law backed up consistently by 1400 years of Islamic jurisprudence. My conclusion: God love the Muslims and bless them in the manner He knows best. But if they want to live by Shari'a, I don't want them to live by me.

I don't think that anybody who commits murder should be thanked and congratulated. The judicial condemnation and execution of a man known to be innocent, is surely murder, and this is a damnable sin.

However, Jesus Himself, while not congratulating those who justly killed him, nevertheless forgave them, while they were in the very act of murdering Him.

And our Holly Faith assures us that the total weight of guilt falls, not on "all Jews" nor on "all Jews in that generation," but on all people on earth: we are all responsible for Jesus' death, because He died for our sins. He died for us "when we were still His enemies." To see the person who pounded in nails,look in the mirror.

And then thank God, not for your sin, but for His fathomless mercy.

He was right.

Global Jihad was coming, right out of 1600 Pennsylvania, until the arrival of President Trump. Now that the marxist muslim is out, clean up operations can continue.

This was the greatest assault on freedom of all time. Out in the world? The agenda is still continuing with few fighting it as it creeps in.

“Hatreds never die when we keep passing them on to the next generation.”

Many criminals never stop unless incarcerated or eliminated. 1400 year old anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective still roaming the planet in 2020? Disgusting. No vision.

Preparing the battlefield.

WOW! The Justice Democrats write some great scripts for their parrots.

It wasn’t murder, it was sacrifice. It had to be done. Just as the bulls and goats were sacrificed for the propitiation of sin in the Old Testament on a yearly basis Jesus was sacrificed, once for all; forever. Not a human sacrifice but a God sacrifice. He was not murdered, He laid down His life for us.

But you are correct. The Jews didn’t kill Jesus, we all did.

U.S. Jewish folks REALLY need to wake up and smell the rapidly brewing anti-Semitism ... in particular, they need to realize that Obama’s main goal at President was to deliberately colonize the U.S. with Muslims, and thereby destroy the U.S. with a culture that is diametrically opposed to everything we believe in ...

now add that to the invasion from the south, and Obama and the Dems will have accomplished the destruction of the U.S. in exactly the same way that God destroyed the Babylonians ...

Yes, you are exactly right: on Jesus’ part it was a sacrifice. Nevertheless, the corrupt Roman judge Pontius Pilate who colluded out of cowardice, the envious pharisees, herodians, sadducees and the whole sanhedrin (traditonal rivals who were in amazing accord with each other, on this point), and the fickle mobs they incited, were guilty as principals and accessories of murder.

Although it is true that Jesus willingly laid down His life as a sacrifice. Thanks be to God.
