Police charged 4 Muslim men for plotting to destroy Synagogues in River Side, NY. This news served as a sort of confirmation to my long time held belief that the US policies in the world and particularly in the middle east, play a significant role in the recent anti-Semitism expressed by Muslims. Surely, hateful mullahs, with the help of Arab kings and dictators, have successfully turned a territorial dispute between the Palestinians and Israel into a religious one.
History provides no evidence planned massacres of Jews in Muslim lands except for two events and even one of the two, the earlier one, is a questionable. The other occurred in Hebron in 1930’s. If I am not mistaken, that resulted in the death of 80 or so innocent Jews.. Christian communities of Europe, however, showed a long history of discrimination against Jews, events of out rights massacres and genocides are in hundreds if not in thousands. And more recently the Holocaust during which they killed about 6 million innocent Jews including 1.2 million children.
Muslims, when in power, showed very little prejudice towards Jews. Indeed, Rambam, a great iconic figure of the middle ages, lived and died a blessed life among Muslims. It was this life of ease and comfort that enabled him to write Misshna Torah, a great scholarly work, a great commentary on Torah. He was a man of a very prominent stature in the Muslim society of his time.
But current situation of our societies is different. While not even close to what the European society showed for last 1950 years or so, all thanks to the Palestinians impossible demands for peace settlement, a mad man in Teheran expresses his willingness to let million or two Muslims die to destroy Israel. Mullahs from Sawat to Strasbourg preach hateful sermon against the West, against US and against Jews. Why? Because they “feel pain” for their Palestinian brothers and sisters for their plight without mentioning / acknowledging that most Israelis want to live in peace with their neighbors and it is the Palestinian who are putting forward impossible demands such as Right to Return. Right to Return, may have some moral ground but it is impossible for any Israeli government to accept. It is truly a death warrant for the state of Israel, a democracy where Arabs, unlike in any Arab land, vote freely.
And so hate train continue its journey to hell.
