RUTHFULLY YOURS

Good Teaching Nurit GreengerOnly sixty-six years ago Nazi Germany and its enablers were brought to their knees, thus were forced to end perpetrating the worst crimes against humanity ever known in the history of mankind. The Germans, lead, by their Führer, Adolf Hitler, came up with the worst kind of murder and torture methods, along which they killed, in cold blood, SIX MILLION INNOCENT JEWS, TWO MILLION of them were CHILDREN!

And the world stood by to let it happen until, almost, not one Jew remained alive in Europe.

SIX MILLION JEWS were exterminated, and the Germans, proudly, kept a fastidious record of their atrocities.

For a while, the world leaked the wounds inflicted on it during the four years of the bloody WWII.  For a while anti-Semitism became a loathed word and its practice outlawed.  The world understood, a depraved mistake was made and Jews hoped and prayed that human beings would learn from history and they vowed to ‘NEVER AGAIN’.

Sorrowfully, this was then and we are living in the now, onward. The world could not rid itself of anti-Semitism, an incurable disease from which it is now suffering, again, in abundance. Today, the leading force of anti-Semitic practices in the world are the Moslems, the Islamofascists. If before Anti-Semitism was perpetrated against Jews, as individuals, or as a congregation, now it is directed at the State of Israel, which, the anti-Semites call the Zionist Enterprise, and where 5Million Jews live.

The 21^st Century anti-Semitism methods include, Holocaust denial, thus opening a wide door to justify pulling off another one and threats are made to annihilate the State of Israel, coming from Iran and organizations such as Hezbollah, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA). People, organizations, political leaders and the media, at large constantly dehumanize, demonize and attempts to delegitimize the Jewish State of Israel. They call the Jewish State a “Nazi State,” an “Apartheid State” and they blame Jews, living there, to be genocidal, killing Aras in the millions, or using disproportionate force when they need to defend themselves, while living in reckless hedonism life style.

Anti-Semitism is now openly practiced in all forms and Jews’ lives are in danger in all four corners of the world.

Additionally, the State of Israel, which is the only place a Jew can call his or her home, is restrained from practicing its sovereignty and having to defend herself from the ongoing onslaught of the Arabs on her.

The world has one set of rules, along which it operates and functions, but for the Jews and the Jewish State it has concocted another set of rules, along which it expects the State of Israel to operate and function, yet, it will not dare apply it on itself.

So, ‘Dear World’, why complain about Jews and the Jewish State behavior while you, collectively, have set the tone and have been the best example of vile behavior and an excellent teacher of treacherous behavior?

I no longer care if anyone thinks or points fingers at Israel and / or Jews for being evil, when they need to defend themselves.

Let the world remember that we, Jews, had good teachers. The lesson took 2000 long years and included, the Romans, who killed millions of Jews and expelled the rest from their Homemade Judea; the Spanish Inquisition and bloody Crusades; anti-Semitism, libels and persecution all over Europe for centuries; Pogroms in Russia, Ghettos for Jews and Holocaust to end their existence; one million Jews robbed of citizenship and homes and then expelled from the Arab countries with their clothes on their back; and now, for the past 63 years, Jews, living in Israel, have had to fight wars, imposed on them by the Arabs, constantly attacking them and forcing them to do what any other nation would do, which is, defending their Homeland, Israel, but seeing no end in sight of Arabs killing Jews living in Israel.

So you see, ‘Dear World’, we, Jews, have had a very good teacher, you! Collectively, you have taught all of us every single dark evil that can be perpetrated by a human being.  We learned it on our skin and with our lives. We died by the millions learning this.

Can you imagine, world, how many Jews would be living on earth today if, for 2000 years you did not, constantly and perpetually, killed us?!

We, see world, what we, Jews, do is not evil by comparison to what you have taught us evil is all about. We can be called angels of goodness by comparison to you.

In general we, Jews, treat people well and we give them no reason to act up against us.  We treat our Arab enemy fairly, even though all they want is to see us all dead. But because we are nice they push the goal post farther. They keep on testing us to see how far they can push us, or when they can break us.

So, let it be known, if anyone acts up against us, Israel and Jews, they must know that we will respond and defend our interests in all means available to us. Israelis will act severely, with stiff penalties and zero tolerance against their foes. Perhaps Israel’s foes will have to learn the hard way to not mess around with the Jewish State and Jews.

The bully in the yard will only stop when you stand up to him.

Israelis need to end all confusion. We, Jews, are, by far, not the guilty party. The government of Israel must end its ambiguous schizophrenic policy. More sanity and reasonableness needs to prevail among us.

The onus is on us – Israelis and Jews – to acknowledge, with pride that we are Jews! And then raise our arms as a sign, do not mess with us, we are made of kindness and wisdom, but also of power.
