A March in the Wrong Direction

As a direct result of the recent Arab terror in Israel, I have noticed a tremendous increase in what the media labels “Pro-Palestinian Rallies” throughout the world.  I have a problem with this term, “Pro-Palestinian Rallies.”  This widely accepted and widely popular term is code for “anti-Jew/Israel rallies.

If in fact these were pro-Palestinian rallies, wouldn’t the protestors be demanding a transparent Palestinian Authority government rather than chanting “death to Jews, death to Israel”?   Wouldn’t they be protesting for absorption by host countries (a multitude of “refugee” camps are located throughout the Arab world and have been since 1948…Yet, no host country has absorbed these “refugees”).  After all, isn’t the world pressuring Europe to absorb hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Middle East?

The creation of a national infrastructure would certainly be on my agenda if I were to join one of these events (you know, the basics, such as running water, an electric grid, updated telecommunications network).  I would most certainly demand that the Palestinian leadership (the PA and Hamas) stop encouraging their children to hate and to murder and to “sacrifice their blood and their souls”.  The protests, if true in nature, would be based on bettering the lives of the everyday Palestinians, not Jew bashing and murder.

Sadly, this is not what the protests are about.  They are in no way supporting the everyday Palestinian. They don’t care about him at all.  People are simply using these events as a forum to put their anti-semitism on display for the world to see. Even worse, the world accepts this and then demonizes Israel.

Jews have experienced hate and anti-semitism for as long as there have been Jews in this world.  There was Ancient Egypt, an inquisition, pogroms, The Holocaust and now “Pro-Palestinian Rallies”, to name a few.  With each passing generation the attempts to “wipe the Jews off the planet” take a different form, but the message always remains the same.
