Says the Hamas Boss Man, “You think we are Satan's spawn, but we are
not. We are your children. You accuse us of doing terrible things, but we
learned to do them from you and your book which became our book and from your
God which became our God. And this is what we learned from your book and from
your God"
From the Book of
Deuteronomy: “In the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving
you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes. But
you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and
the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the LORD your God has commanded
you, so that they may not teach you to do according to all their detestable
things which they have done for their gods, so that you would sin against the
LORD your God.”
Such hypocrisy!
From First Samuel: “Now
go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare
them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and
donkey.”
Such hypocrisy!
From the Book of
Numbers: “Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.”
Such hypocrisy!
From the Book of Joshua:
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young
and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.” Such hatred
that hates everything.
Such hypocrisy!
From the Book of Exodus:
So Moses said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout
Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn
son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the female
slave, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well.
There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or
ever will be again.”
Such hypocrisy!
You complain about our
slaughter of infants, children, mothers, and fathers, but we learned slaughter
from you. You will not find mass murder or genocide in the Quran. The Quran
does not condone the slaughter of infants, children, mothers, and fathers. The
Quran says only “Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not
transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.”
Such hypocrisy!
You condemn us for
hiding among Palestinian civilians. But you bomb them to kill us. You call us
evil because we kill Jewish babies so that the Palestinians can have a home of
their own but you kill Palestinian babies to kill us. We are all guilty of
infanticide but we do not pretend to be innocent.
Such hypocrisy
But in fighting you we
do as your book says and by doing so transgress the limits set upon us by the
Quran. Yet, there are not limits for you. Even now as you destroy cities as
your God destroyed cities with fire and brimstone. And you do the same.
Such hypocrisy!
From the Book of Genesis
your God says this: “Seven days from now I will send rain on the
earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of
the earth every living creature I have made.” Allah never did such
thing. I wonder if we worship same God.
Such hypocrisy!
And you are the
invaders, not us. Your ancestors came as Hyksos nomads and invaded disunited
Egypt, set fire to the cities, razed the temples, squandered the accumulated
wealth, who destroyed much of the accumulated art, and for two hundred years
subjected the Nile valley. Finally, the rowdy Hyksos are driven out of Egypt.
Says Manetho, an Egyptian historian of the third century B.C., “the Exodus was
due to the desire of the Egyptians to protect themselves from a plague that had
broken out among the destitute and enslaved Jews, and that Moses was an
Egyptian priest who went as a missionary among the Jewish lepers.”
So driven out of Egypt
the Israelites invaded Canaan and slaughtered the Canaanites, the ancestors of
the Palestinians. Then foolishly your people started a war with Rome thinking
your God would save you, but he did not. As with Jesus, he never does. You were
scattered like dust in the wind. Then in 1948 you once against invaded our land
the land that was ours before you first invaded it. And you invaded it because
Hitler killed six million of your people. The Palestinian did not harm you, but
you harmed them. It was Christians who killed you, not Palestinians. They
treated you as your people treated the Canaanites and later Jewish Christians.
You invaded Palestine with the help of Christian nations who felt guilty for
how they treated you. So Palestine was invaded and Palestinian homes and towns
were destroyed just as the homes and towns of ancient the Canaanites were
destroyed. And the Palestinians were removed from their communities and homes
and placed in reservations just as Old Testament Christian Americans placed the Native Americans, the first Americans, in reservations. You treated the Palestinians as the Nazis treated you.
Such hypocrisy!
You hated us from the
very beginning. When driven out of Egypt the first Canaanites you encountered
were the Amalekites who attacked because you were invaders and you believed
your God gave you permission to possess their land as an inheritance and
commanded you to blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven. And your God
sought their extermination: "The Lord said to Moses, 'Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven.'” And now the Amalekites no longer exist.
Such hypocrisy!
And when Shechem the
Hivite fell in love with Dinah and took her your ancestors took revenge because
she was disgrace, not for being raped but for having sex with a Canaanite
pagan. The Hivites were willing to make amends by being circumcised to become Jews.
But your people killed every male and took their flocks, the cattle, the
donkeys, and everything else in the city and in the fields because they hated
pagans. They took everything of value, captured all the Hivite women and
children, and carried off everything in the houses. You never respond with
moderation because your hatred will not allow it. For you love never conquers
hate. And from you we learned to hate. It was an outrage that a pagan would
fall in love with an Israelite but not for the Israelites to take the pagan
women to be slaves like Hagar the Egyptian slave of Abraham. Your celebrated
King David had concubines, some he left to die, and his son Solomon had three
hundred concubines. And David committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged the
death of her husband, his most loyal soldier Uriah the Hittite. Yet a tribe is
destroyed because Shechem fell in love with a Jew.
Such hypocrisy!
In
his play The Merchant of Venice Shakespeare tells how much you
hate everybody, the hated goyim. Shylock the Jew is constantly saying about the
goyim “I will not eat with you, drink with you, nor pray with you” because he
hates the goyim. The essence of such men is hatred, men who associate only with
other haters like themselves united by an ideology of hatred.
Shakespeare
is called an anti-Semite but he wasn’t. Unlike Moses and Ezra he celebrates the
love between the Jew and the gentile. He has the Jewess Jessica fall in love
with the Loenzo who loves her even though she is a Jew. And what was her
father’s response? He says, “My own flesh and blood rebel” because it was a sin
for Jews to marry non-Jews. He is like the prophet Ezra who tells the Jews who
have married pagans, “Separate yourselves from the peoples around you and from
your foreign wives.” Yet, Shakespeare’s play celebrates the love between the
Jews and gentile. And in Romeo and Juliet love overcomes the
hatred of feuding families. For the gentile Shakespeare, unlike for you, love
is able to conquer hate. The hater's daughter Jessica says love is blind
because love comes from the heart not from an ideology of hate. And like Moses,
Shylock says “I wish my daughter were dead at my feet.” Moses told his soldiers
to “Now kill all the boys. And kill every Midianite woman who has slept with an
Israelite man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a
man.” You hated our ancestors as you hate us. Your ancestors took our girls as
slaves and concubines; otherwise, they were meaningless to you. And you
complain about being the victims of racism.
Such
hypocrisy!
You believe
anti-Semitism emerged ex nihilo from the minds of the goyim, but like
everything it had a cause or causes in your case. The great Israeli historian
Victor Tcherikover examines the causes of anti-Semitism in his masterful
book Hellenistic Civilization and the Jews. And the causes are
ancient, long before Shakespeare’s time. Tcherikover examines ancient thinkers
who addressed the causes of anti-Semitism. But first let what he says about the
Greeks serve as a preface: “What impelled the Greeks to oppose the Jews?
National hatred in the modern sense did not exist in the ancient world, and
much less religious hatred. The Greeks were familiar with many foreigners from
abroad who had settled in their cities, but had found no need to carry on a
violent attack against them. Why did they hate the Jews of all people?” (372).
And from F.E. Peters about the Jews living in pagan Hellenistic Egypt:
"The number of Jews in Egypt may have reached one million by Roman times,
but whether the figure is accurate or not, the Jewish population of Egypt was
considerable. Most of them lived in Alexandria [named after Alexander the
Great, king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon] and grew cultured and
prosperous" (The Harvest of Hellenism 296-297).
Here are the opinions of
the ancients according to Tcherikover. The first is the Greek historian
Hecataeus of Abdera (360 BC – 290 BC). He “remarks that Moses initiated a form
of life encouraging seclusion from humankind and hatred of aliens,” including
“the Jewish refusal to eat at Gentile tables, and this may have impressed him
as incomprehensible pride and hatred of aliens” (360-361).
Then comes Manetho,
(flourished c. 300 BC), an Egyptian priest who wrote a history of Egypt in
Greek. The Jewish priest and historian Flavius Josephus (c 37-100 AD) preserved
“two extracts of very great importance for the present question” (361). First
is about the Hyksos nation which “attacked Egypt and ruled it for over five
hundred years. Forced out of Egypt, they turned toward Syria, and on their way
there found the city of Jerusalem in the land of Judaea” (361). On their way included the brutal
conquest of Canaan! The Jews were always invaders and aggressors. In the second
extract Manetho says Osarseph, aka Moses, “forbade them [Jewish lepers] to
associate with people not of their persuasion. He fortified Avaris [the Hyksos capital of Egypt] with walls
and sent an invitation to the descendants of the Hyksos who lived in Jerusalem
to come to his aid in the conquest of Egypt.
They obeyed him willingly and came
to Egypt to the number of 200,000.... This rule [of the lepers/Jews] was of
unparalleled cruelty; the lepers burned down towns and villages, plundered
temples, defiled the images of the gods, converted shrines into shambles.”
Ultimately, the king of ancient Egypt Amenophis drove the invaders out of Egypt
(362). So the Jews did not have to escape Egypt. They were invaders driven from
Egypt. Says Tcherikover, “His [Manetho] account of the Hyksos and the
lepers explains to the reader the Jews’ origin. Amenophis expels the Jerusalemites
and the lepers from Egypt and pursues them to ‘to the frontiers of Syria,’ and
it is clear that the Hyksos returned whence they had come, to Jerusalem, and
the lepers went with them” (362-363).
Josephus says Osarseph
“changed his name and called himself Moses” (362). “Manetho wanted to show his
readers that the Jews’ ancestors, the lepers, had already publicly manifested the negative characteristics later inherited by the
descendants: cruelty, hatred of customs of other religions, the striving to
seclude themselves from others and to find associates only among themselves”
(363). Is this anti-Semitism? Of course it is. It means hatred of the people
who hate you and who brought conquest, death, and destruction upon your people. It
is, in other words, hatred caused by cruel, villainous deeds such as those
occurring in Gaza.
“The Jews told stories
of Joseph as a wise governor of Egypt, whereas Manetho replied that he had
ruined the country, polluted the shrines and persecuted religion.... The Jews
claimed that God had brought them out of Egypt, while Manetho asserted they had
been expelled the from the country after they had ruled it brutally for thirteen
years. Thus was created the first anti-Semitic book” (363-364). The question
that arises is how does one write a positive book about a people who ruined
one’s country? Is hatred of Nazi Germany justified? Of course it is. Is slaves' hatred toward the white Christians who enslaved them justified? Of course it is. Is the
hatred of Native Americans toward the white Christians who destroy them and
stole their homelands justified? Of course it is. Hatred is evil only when it
has no cause. And should one love people who hate you? Hate breeds hate. It’s
that simple.
In reference to Jewish
misanthropy Greek politician, astronomer, astrologer, geographer, historian,
mathematician, Posidonius (c 135 – 51 BC) relates the story that “when
Antiochus Sidetes attacked Jerusalem, his courtiers advised him to exterminate
the Jews completely, arguing that they alone of all the peoples refuse to come
into contact with other peoples and regarded all of them as enemies” (368).
Even if the story is only a legend it reflects how the thinking and behavior of
ancient Jews were perceived by pagans, whom the Jews robbed, slaughter,
and hated, which they celebrate in the Old Testament. Anti-Semitism is a coin
with two sides. On one side is the hatred of the Jews. On the other side is the
Jews hatred of all the non-Jewish peoples of the world. Tcherikover continues
saying that the Greek rhetorician Apollonius Molon (c. 70
BC) "wrote of the Jews: 'They do not accept among themselves people who
entertain different outlooks on Gd, nor do they wish to come into contact with
those whose customs differ from their own'" (368). You complain that you
are hated by others but you created their hatred.
Such hypocrisy
So there you have it, the
roots of anti-Semitism are found in the thinking and behavior of the Jews. It
didn’t appear ex-nihilo. It had a cause. It's time for you to look in the
mirror that is your history.
Such hypocrisy
And you hated Christians
as much as you hated pagans, having their prophet Jesus, the only wise man among you who did not hate us and who preached love
crucified as a criminal. And Saul was your assassin who persecuted Jewish
Christians. Then Saul became Paul who transformed Jesus' Christianity into a
religion of hatred. His was a weaponized Christianity that practiced by anti-pagan Christians, not the
religion of Jesus. And once he converted to Christianity he and fellow
revolutionary Silas travel inland along the Via Egnatia to Philippi to subvert
the pagans of the Roman Empire so they would destroy themselves. Their success
is described in the book of Acts: “And so were the churches established in the
faith, and increased in number daily” (16:5). Their god of hatred had called
them to preach the gospel of self-hatred and loathing to the pagans. The pagans
caught Paul and Silas and took them to the marketplace to the rulers. They
complained that “These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, and
teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe,
being Romans” (16:20-21). As it would
turn out, Paul caused more than just a little trouble. His ideology of hatred taught
the pagans of Rome Empire to hate one another because he hated them. The
destruction Paul caused is described by Catherine Nixey in her book The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction
of the Classical world. And yet we are the only evildoers.
Such hypocrisy!
And you pat the backs
and smile at American Christians with pocket bulging with $$$ when they come to
Jerusalem their portal to postmortem paradise because you receive billions of
$$$ each year in military goods from the U.S. But behind their backs you laugh
at them because they like the pagans you hated theirs is a polytheistic
religion (2≠1) and like the pagans they believe Yahweh impregnated a human girl
(thirteen or fourteen years of age) as Zeus impregnated Alcmene who gave birth
to Hercules. At the time, Mary was engaged to Joseph who sought to dismiss Mary
quietly but Yahweh sent an angel to convince him to take Mary as his wife. Mary
gave birth to a man who was also a God (human ≠ God) who died on the cross
crying out “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
We too laugh but do not
pretend to be America’s friend. But how can you be and mock the God of the
American Christians who are the greatest supporters of Israel by making a movie with one of yours pissing on a
portrait of Jesus?
Such hypocrisy!
You pretend to be
America’s friend but your Marxists brought America to its knees. We’re
told by one of your own, Ro’i, Yaacov Professor of History, Tel Aviv University, that “Jews played a prominent role in the
Communist Party from its inception” and “Jews were proportionately
overrepresented in the RSDWP [Russian Social Democratic Workers Party] from the
start.” And the bad karma of Jewish Marxism created a monster of authoritarianism who now rules America like an emperor, anointed by God claim his followers Old Testament Christians, though hardly a follower of Jesus, who is unknown to him because he does not read.
(https://yivoencyclopedia.org/article.aspx/Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union).
And like Paul destroyer
of the Roman Empire, you tried to do the same to Germany with your Marxist
ideology after World War I, but you only created another monster who sent you to
death camps. You’ve been very good at creating monsters that turn on you and
everyone else. And now you are the monster who turns hospitals into morgues and
buries children under the rubble of your destruction.
Such hypocrisy!
Most important to you
has always been to have a homeland of your own. That is what you sought once
driven out of Egypt, a homeland of your own, which you took by violence. Yet,
you do not understand the need of the Palestinians for a homeland of their own
where they can be safe from you.
Such hypocrisy!
We laugh at your
self-righteousness.
A final question: Was our action—the killing of Jewish children—morally justified? No. The killing of civilians, especially children, is never morally justified. We recognize that. We acted out of revenge, brutal immoral revenge, just as Netanyahu has done. Both sides have once again been dragged back to the Stone Age when there was no morality but only violence. We are both guilty of violating God's commandments not to kill and to love our neighbors, not kill them. We have both become immoral monsters. And only the Jewish people—not Netanyahu—can solve the problem that has transformed both sides into immoral children murdering barbarians. Then we can cease being monsters and return to being human beings again.
