They select the Jewish state – and only the Jewish state – for offensive treatment. There is a term for this kind of behaviour: it’s called anti-Semitism.

They select only Jewish soldiers on whom to commit violent attacks – at the same time as they conscientiously avoid confronting Muslim soldiers from Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia and Egypt (not to mention the ‘brave freedom fighters’ of Hamas and Hizbollah) who trample the most elementary human rights of millions of Arab and Muslim citizens underfoot.

Last week some pro-Palestinian activists published a meticulously staged and strategically edited picture sequence showing an Israeli soldier, Shalom Eisner, hitting a Danish pro-Palestinian collaborator in the face with his rifle. The picture looked suitably dramatic. The Dane walked away with a smile, he was totally unharmed but the exciting footage had been captured. Job done!

See here a picture that shows what preceded that incident – and that was definitely NOT shown on YouTube or anywhere else. Writer Naomi Ragen happened to bump into Shalom Eisner while on a walk last weekend in Jerusalem, and saw that the officer’s fingers were in plaster as a result of having been attacked by the pro-Palestinian fanatics. A mere detail that just happened to have been missed by the entire media establishment – which gets its input directly from the pro-Palestinian extremists, no questions asked.

The blood of homeless Arab children is being sold for money.

A disgusting case of exploitation of society’s weakest that ought to make massive headlines with Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet, with a large number of articles penned by self-styled journalist Donald Boström.

But no. Their silence is compact – and embarrassing.

You see, the perpetrators of this disgrace are Arabs.

Not Jews. So no story.

Read the following for background on the anti-Jewish blood libel pursued by Aftonbladet and Donald Boström:

Idiots who are happy to travel to an open, democratic country like Israel in order to incite riots. Whose (usually publicly funded) mission is to score cheap points thanks to an inherently lazy media corps, instead of going where they can truly do some good - like Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Turkey. Don’t forget that Turkey is the country that imprisons more journalists and free-thinkers than any other country on earth.

Neither do these idiots consider protesting against organisations that truly need to be placed in the limelight, such as Hizbollah in the Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, al-Shabab in Somalia.

Incidentally, examine that list of countries and organisations given above. Do you detect a pattern?

Well, these idiots apparently don’t see that what unites all these countries and organisations is their dedication to Islamism – a violent political doctrine sheltering behind a shield of religion. And therefore untouchable in this era of Political Correctness gone mad. Useful idiots indeed!

And as usual the answers are glaringly obvious – so simple and straightforward that only career politicians and journalists could miss them.

Some key quotes from the video:

“The Arabs don’t hate Jews because of Israel. They hate Israel because of Jews.”

“The world needs to stop pretending that ‘Palestine’ is about justice and human rights.”

“The (Arabs’) hatred is the cause of their misery – they’ve become prisoners of their hatred.”

It all usually depends on which despot, regime, fanatic or extremist is in the ascendancy at any given moment, and which racist, mass-murderer, dictator or relgious theocracy has been deoposed or alternatively murdered its way to the top most recently.

Read here an up-to-date article by former Israeli ambassador to Egypt Zvi Mazel on the current situation in Israel’s southern neighbour Egypt. The focus is on the Muslim Brotherhood and other unsavoury extremist movements even further off the chart. The Middle East Forum (MEF) also has an excellent analysis of the Muslim Bortherhood. Visit Debka File for more in-depth analysis of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Click here for an short video on what Middle East expert Daniel Pipes has to say about the Muslim Brotherhood, and read here his more in-depth analysis on the same subject in light of what has been termed the “Arab Spring” but which seems to be more of an “Arab Spring, Muslim Winter“.

With something like 10,000 deaths in Syria – systematic regime massacres of civilians would be a more accurate description – already documented, the UN continues to do what it does best: ignoring bestiality on the part of Arab and/or Muslim regimes, while focusing with admirable tenacity on any Jew who wants to remodel his kitchen in Jerusalem. 

The UN has far outlived its usefulness. It has long served merely as a forum for distributing public funding both to despotic regimes and easily bought bureaucrats. The latter get their fat – tax-funded – salaries every single month irrespective of the mayhem, destruction and death they leave in their wake.

The UN needs to be closed down.

Then opened under a new umbrella, with membership open only to democratic states. Anything else is just deliberate – and hugely expensive – mockery of civilisation’s most basic principles.

Pat Condell puts it very neatly indeed in the video below. Among much else, he says with absolute clarity “I wouldn’t trust the UN to run a lemonade stand without thousands of people being needlessly killed“.

His analysis is interesting, but flawed or at best incomplete in certain respects.

One factor George Friedman overlooks is Israel’s emerging energy independence resulting from recent discoveries of fossil fuel reserves. Its vast natural gas (and possibly even oil) finds offshore will help create a financial and strategic buffer that frees it to some extent from any purported “patron’s” (read: US) apron-strings.

Another related aspect is that Israel has developed industrial-scale solar energy technology for overseas markets, most notably Spain and the USA, and is now moving ahead with construction of its own solar farms in the Negev Desert in the south of the country. This too translates into added energy independence. Israel’s accelerated water desalination programme naturally dovetails with these developments since water desalination is a major energy consumer. The availability of water, probably more than anything else including Iran’s genocidal programme, is likely to be the main cause of armed conflict in the region.

A third aspect not taken into consideration is Israel’s decision to build an intermodal sea-rail transport link from Eilat on its Red Sea coast to Ashdod on its Mediterranean coast. This will neatly bypass the troubled Suez Canal. Egypt, which controls the Suez Canal, is heading towards an uncertain future as Islamist fanatics boost their political clout. Sharia plays an increasingly dominant role in Egyptian society and the country’s economy and youth unemployment are spiralling out of control. Global commerce and industry thrive on stability, and an unstable transport route via the Suez Canal will be abandoned when a viable alternative emerges. Israel’s new intermodal transport system has the double benefit of guaranteeing the Jewish state’s independence of freight movement from the Far East, while at the same time generating massive revenues from other countries using this route instead of the volatile Suez.

A fourth factor overlooked in the Stratfor analysis is double-pronged: money and the Arab Spring – incidentally the longest “spring” in meteorological history, one set to last several years since the Arab and wider Muslim worlds seem to be inherently incapable of embracing an infrastructure for democratic power succession. For a year now all – absolutely ALL – news from the Middle East has been notable for an omission that has otherwise characterised the Middle East for the past four decades: there has been virtually no mention of the Palestinians. Events on the ground have amply demonstrated to Arab, Muslim, European and other Western nations including the US that the real problems in the Middle East have absolutely nothing to do with Palestinians. They have everything to do with endemic Arab/Muslim inability to embrace democracy, plurality, religious freedoms, gender equality, education, employment and so on. Thus far, at any rate.

What this means is that state after state, government after government, has over the past 12 months seen that all the money pumped into feeding what is widely recognised as a parasitic Palestinian blackmail scam has accomplished precisely nothing. In the past 5 years alone the Palestinians have received over 700 billion US dollars in what is euphemistically termed as “aid”. That’s diplomatic-speak for handouts, handouts specifically earmarked for the non-establishment of infrastructure/education/improvement/job creation, but specifically earmarked for maintenance of the status quo. At the same time as the Palestinian leadership continues with its official policies of EU- and US-funded human rights abuses – against the Palestinian population.

When the Arab world was set ablaze for reasons which had nothing to do with the Jewish state, the Palestinian agenda simply evaporated. In a climate of current global recession, perhaps even a threatening global economic meltdown, the last thing Europe/the US et al will want to do is to channel even more of their already scarce funds to fuel a society whose sole reason for existence is to perpetuate their status as permanent aid recipients without letting up on their constant barrage of negativity in the form of terrorism, fanaticism and racist indoctrination, of the sort that most recently fuelled the terrible events in Toulouse, France. All this while queues of unemployed, dispossessed homeowners, school dropouts and the sick and elderly grow in London, Paris, Washington, Stockholm, Madrid.

In other words, the current global economic situation is something the article does not factor in, and that is a major omission. The Palestinian “problem” is transparently the baby of the West – the Arab nations themselves want nothing to do with it, even refusing to fund its perpetuation. This is a realisation that is gradually dawning on the West, although it is regarded as not politically correct to express in words.

Neither does the article underscore just how dedicated the Israeli government and the Israeli people (minus a vociferous but minority fringe Left) are to the survival of the Jewish state; it fails to take account of the Israeli psyche, the single most important tenet of post-1948 policy: Never Again. If Israel is threatened (and Iran is currently the only major contender) and feels it has to go it alone even if this risks sparking a global military conflagration, she will still go through with it. Because there are no other options for Israel’s survival. What Middle East analysts seldom talk about is that Israel’s current (and ongoing) image was set when she reluctantly (and catastrophically) agreed to stay her hand after Saddam Hussein sent his Scud missiles roaring into Israel’s population centres in the first Gulf War. That inaction created the perception that Israel could be manipulated into docility – by her “allies” no less. PM Netanyahu is never, ever, going to allow a repetition of that mistake. It is that strategic mistake that has shaped the rejectionist Islamist world’s perception of Israel’s position ever since.

It is therefore a mistake that will not be repeated. Not by the Likud’s Netanyahu, nor by any possible successor from Labour or Kadima. Yet it is a reality that most analysts do not even recognise, let alone factor in when they review the Middle East.

This autumn will reveal whether Israel becomes embroiled alone in a regional war, or whether the wider world will finally abandon its policy of hypocrisy and acknowledge the true threat to world peace: Iran and its Islamist allies Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas and their thrust for a Middle East ethnically cleansed of all Jews. Thwarting this genocidal Islamist push may escalate into world war. Such a development largely depends on how desperate US President Obama is to get re-elected.

Imagine walking around in public and openly claiming that anyone with a different religion to yours deserved to – and would – be burned to death for this ‘affront’.

Incitement to racial hatred? Incitement to commit murder? Threats in a public place? Contravention of the Public Order Act of 1986?

Actually, none of the above. Not if you are a Muslim racist extremist and live in Great Britain.

God help us – and I’m referring to the merciful God that we all recognise from the Judeo-Christian tradition, not the version so enthusiastically embraced by these racist extremists.

It is, incidentally, the same merciful God that the vast majority of Muslims are said to venerate, only they are forced to keep quiet about this out of fear of being targeted as ‘unbelievers’ for their ‘blasphemy’ – by these very same racist extremists who claim to be part of the same ‘religion of peace’.

It’s a picture of modern multiculturalism that has been infected by the greatest, most insidious disease of modern times: PCS, Political Correctness Syndrome. Devastating silence, searing naivety and dumb acceptance while the fabric of our society unravels before our very eyes.

Read Norwegian blogger Fjordman’s article, published in German in Junge Freiheit and in English in the excellent Tundra Tabloids.

The article should be compulsory reading for all European foreign ministers and all media and journalism students throughout Europe.

Thanks to Fjordman and to Tundra Tabloids for their permission to link to the article in German and English respectively via this blog.

Danny Ayalon, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in Israel, explains why there still are Arab refugees from the 1948 pan-Arab onslaught against the Jewish state.

He explains why there are no Jewish refugees from that same conflict although far greater numbers Jews were expelled from their homes in the Arab world in the Islamic wave of ethnic cleansing.

Danny Ayalon explains also how it is that there are 1 million Arabs living in the Jewish state of Israel, but that Muslim Arab states such as Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, among others, are either totally judenrein or virtually so, despite having had large, flourishing communities of Jews living in the region for the past couple of millennia. Their ethnic cleansing took place just 63 years ago – accompanied by deafening silence from the UN.
