The Arab rulers get to deflect their population's unrest onto an external scapegoat.
Arab rulers still have their population's unrest to deal with, every day.
The Europeans get to deflect their guilt over the Holocaust onto the Israelis.
Most Europeans who felt real guilt about the holocaust are dead already. For the today's European the holocaust is just another sad bit of history, a long past history, that affected their grandparents.
If the Israelis are acting like Nazis, they don't need to be guilty anymore, right?
If the Israels had really acted the least bit like Arabs, let alone Nazis, there wouldn't be a single Arab living today inside the bounds of the former Mandate of Palestine. Or maybe a handful, just as there are only a handful of Jews left living in Syria and Egypt. All of Israel, including Judea and Samaria (which btw have been the names of those territories for 3000 years) would be entirely Jewish.
If those areas were 50%-50% Jew/non-Jew prior to 1948, and Israel-proper today is 83%-17% Jew/non-Jew today, then I'd say the expulsion of the non-Jews by the Jews in Israel is similar if not more pronounced to what happened in Germany, wouldn't you say? 80% of the non-Jews left Israel or were killed. 100% of the Jews left Germany or were killed. What, are the Israelis proud that their equivalent number is 80% and not 100%? Well la de da, the Nazis baet them by a hair in expulsion/murder competition.
How about the re-entrance competition? Does Germany today restricty Jewish re-immigration to Germany because the applicant is Jewish? Did German Jews who left Germany in 1935 get to return in 1946? How about non-Jewish residents of what became Israel, could they return and become citizens of the new nation founded where they grew up, or did they have the wrong number of Xs and Os stamped on their forehead? |
