The Last Exile

Millenniums before your squatters were pruning trees and stealing water – my people were tilling the soil and building homes in Eretz Yisrael, and yet, today you call us ‘thieves’.

I swear there is just something just so positively medieval about claims that Israeli settlers are thieves. But it takes a special kind of chutzpah to claim ownership of a land which was historically called Judea and then deny Jewish claim to the land.

It’s the same poisoned chutzpah which motivates the Palestinian Authority to claim ownership over ancient Jewish religious writings in the name of the “Palestinian” people – a people who insist that the ancient and modern Jewish presence in ‘their’ land must be ‘cleaned’.

But let me ask you something Dr. Dawg – do you ever feel the slightest twinge that something might not just kosher with your defense of some of the most hardened Jew-haters in the modern world…or is it all good in your world?

Did you ever stop and ask yourself why the Palestinian Authority has not hooked these farmers up to their water grid – especially in light that their water needs are suppose to be met under the PA rather than under the care of the Israeli government according to the provisions of the Oslo agreement. I suspect you never did. Of course, then you couldn’t blame the Jews Zionists Israelis Settlers.

And those ‘gated’ communities weren’t always gated – why don’t you ask yourself why the gates were necessary? I will give you a hint – it had to do with the actions of your ‘ordinary folks’.

Let me ask you a question – why do you think the Palestinian Authority, whose aid budget, runs in the billions designates so little of the funding to improve the quality of life for these particular farmers? If I was a cynical woman I would suggest it was because the PA needs the photo-op for propaganda purposes…oh wait, I am that cynical.

Dawg – don’t go putting words into my mouth or attempt to allude to an position I never made. I am not the one who suggested the land had to be ethically cleaned of Arabs or that the Arabs should return to wherever they originally came from. And you know very well that the traditional and official Palestinian Arab/Arab World’s position is that all Jews must be ethnically clean from Judea and Samaria. Furthermore, I would suggest it is a position you are quite comfortable with given than you originally commented on my post by referring to the Israelis as ‘squatters’ and accusing settlers as ‘stealing’ from our own homeland.

I do find it rather remarkable for a man who blogs constantly on the alleged civility of the progressive side of the political spectrum and umpteen many ‘how violent the right wing is’ posts but you can even spare one word of condemnation for the violent behaviour of the female ‘peace activist’. Let me see if I wrap my head around silence in this matter – unprovoked violence is acceptable as long as it is welded by a) ‘peace activist-progressive type b)violence is directed against a Jew…or is it c) all of the above.

Dawg,

Next time you quote an old 2002 Ha’aretz article to find evidence of wide scale evidence of 1 Palestinian death at the hand a murderous settler during an Olive Harvest (a murder I would not hesitate to condemn and do) – I would suggest you read the Ha’aretz article to the very end…having a Palestinian teenager arrested for attempting to murder Jews for no other than that they are Jews living and breathing in the same vicinity of Palestinians and having a sister who already did jail time for the same crime – kind of ends up undermining any point you are attempting to make.

Of course, the fact you have to reach back to almost ten years for one murder…while I on the other only need to reach back a few months to find evidence of unprovoked Palestinian violence against Israelis civilians. Of course, by your comments it shows we have two obviously different views of violence.

Judging by your comment, you have no qualms of conscience to see an Israeli man being set upon and attacked violently and physically by the so-called Palestinian peace activists. On the other hand, I see the so-called Palestinian peace camp using bullying and physical aggression against a man who does not even raise his hand in retaliation against them as a morally reprehensible behaviour. I should have known your sense of morality and outrage ends in the mere presence of an ‘Israeli’.

And using a report that the Palestinian Authority is writing the UN to complain of ‘unprecedented’ rise in ‘settler’ violence against Palestinians – well, let’s just say there are obvious ‘truth’ issues at work – much like the Palestinian sheep farmer who blames ‘settlers’ for setting fire to his fields and flocks.

Dawg, let’s start with the very first link you provided in the Ynet News story. The young man’s death was initially blamed on the Israeli settlers and yet the evidence did not support it.Just because a Palestinian makes accusations does not necessarily imply those accusations are true – especially in light of the rather common malfeasance exhibited by either – the Palestinians and their cheerleaders/supporters. I would point out that you seem rather fancy free and liberal with the use of the truth as long as the accusations support your own personal bias.

Now I don’t have the time to do all the work you should have done before posting on my blog but let me say this – your use of sarcasm to demean the violence metered out by so-called peace activists against an Israeli may make you feel special, clever and hip but let me assure you – all you are doing is providing cover for those who routinely shout ‘kill the Jews’ and mean it.

Furthermore, if that settler had turned and beat that woman senseless after the kicking, punching, hairpulling and ripping his clothes that she did – you would have been the first to scream about the outrageously violent behaviour of Israeli settler men. Take the mote out of both your eyes before you type.

The Israeli police as an institution, have been guilty of many different and varied things, including a zeal to arrest ’settlers’ on the merest pretext, but they have a far better track record than your pro-Palestinian sources for ‘truth’ which seems to be a very fluid concept within the Palestinian apologista culture.

Dawg, have you ever stopped to consider and examine your own motives? You seem to have this bottomless capacity to reflectively cast aspirations of doubt on any source of information which is not taken from the Palesitnian apologista community, which, in light of their track record, should give any reasonable person a cause to pause.

I do find it rather extraordinary that you appear to accept without question any and all outrageous charges brought against the Israelis. In fact, you often come dangerously close to exhibiting antiisemitism of the old world type — due note I am not calling you an antisemite, but you often give that appearance….I’m channeling organ stealing or rape by deception business on your blog. Perhaps, it is the last vestiges of your British background asserting itself perhaps? I don’t know, but you do appear to exhibit a rather bizarre pathology when it comes to Israelis – or dare I say it – Jews.

Let me see if I understand you – an individual’s criminal actions are evidence to smear and accuse the Israeli state for organ stealing. Furthermore, if I recall correctly, Hiss was an equal opportunity organ snatcher – hardly evidence of state collarboration or implied bias against only snatching the organs of ‘Arabs’. And if a young and vulnerable woman is left beaten, raped and bloodied in a stairway by an Israeli-Arab man and he only gets 18 months – this is evidence of Israeli racism. What a warped and sick pathology you suffer from if you really believe a rapist should not be jailed because the woman is a Jew.
