Terrific piece. What the Palestinians are doing reminds me of the comic book character,Bizarro Superman, who tries to imitate real Superman’s actions but gets it all wrong or warped and the bizarro citizens love him. Unfortunately, the Palestinians are much craftier than Bizarro Superman and know that most of the press is on their side. They also know that the press is shamefully ignorant of ancient history and the history of the Jews. I find all of this very depressing.
The real transaction is that Islam despises Christianity; In words of a Muslim cleric some years back, who claimed that Christianity is a ‘Fairy story about a G-d whom you no longer believe in’. The clever propaganda strategy of the Arabs of Gaza and Judea and Samaria is to pitch their story to the same people they despise as just such, with a bogus and untrue story complete with demons and the demonised. In fact they have no concept of how The West and our religions includes our superb tradition of the Individual and freedom, of both conscience and religious freedom of choice, with his and her road to personal knowledge and individual Redemption, which Islam cannot even begin to understand or accept. Thus, Islam only ever produced the Demographic Islamic population explosion, which now lies at the root of the current travails in both The Middle East and the consequent overspill of Muslims into The West.
Yes! Love this: "which Islam cannot even begin to understand or accept." Islam is not capable of freedom and individuality; it can only reproduce! Brilliant. Funny. Sad.
"Bovine solemnity" is the perfect term for the frauds trying to claim any manner of falsehoods about the Gazaniacs. They come to the world with their crocodile tears and want to somehow be seen as the REAL aggrieved party. Other than their tunnels and hiding under hospitals, schools, and mosques what exactly have they done otherwise? What always gets me is that the people in Gaza support these murderers and CHOOSE to live in squalor while their kids are taught how to field-strip an AK.
So so true. I cannot imagine being a Palestinian living in Gaza living under Hamas. If only they had a visionary leader who promoted Jewish values, their next generation would prosper.
“Re-align Palestine” would theoretically be the best course of action for the ‘Palestinian collective’, though naturally they will piss that opportunity into the wind like all others before them.
Excellently put together psychological crime story. I have been thinking for a long time that the Palestinian story reminds me of a movie I know the gist of, but never saw, called Single White Female I believe it was. The irony of them attempting to claim Jesus is, had there been muslims in the area at the time of Jesus' life, they themselves would have killed him for being a Jew, except maybe they'd behead him rather than crucify him. Also, why would they give their country a name starting with a letter which doesn't exist in the Arabic language. I've heard the "bright lights" explaining this as - they pronounce it "falestin". Of course they do. There needs to be, or perhaps already is, a psychological analysis of the mindset of their founder, Mohammed, if that is even true. From what I've read, he sounds like a malignant psychopath who heard voices, who was deluded into seeing himself as a prophet despite zero prophecies who perceived himself as the final word in Judaism, but instead of following him, the Jews no doubt laughed at him. So as all good, righteous spiritually developed souls would do, he killed them. Thus the Jews became his enemies. The enemies of a delusional psychotic who built a belief system so powerful it's endured for 1400 years and counting. And the one offshoot it most resembles when you look at it and think about it is the Mafia.
Their declaration of independence mimics Israel's "their great gift to the world" suicide bombing, hijacking planes, violent demonstrations....that's all I see from them. Their "historic Palestine" names replicate the Hebew...Hebron./ al Khalil Ir ha Kodesh / al Quds. From time to time I look at their sites.... The Journal of Palestine studies has an article about the Jewish or Zionist appropriation of Muslim sites....tomb of Joseph...entirely Muslim but the Muslim allowed Christians and Jews....followed by its not really the tomb of Joseph anyway! Citing JEwish Virtual Library as back up. So it is but it isn't. Holy Sepulchre is built on Roman temple ruins. Nothing regarding how the Dome of the Rock / al Aksa are appropriations on the Temple Mount. So much irrational bull s...t from them. And ahistoric....and without any self reflection on the behavior of Arabic speaking Muslims. Just typical how "religious Zionists" are destroying the Palestinian heritage throughout "historic Palestine."
Brilliant. First time I've heard all these disparate elements woven together into one piece of cloth that makes absolute sense; with quotable lines to boot!
Hatred is a secondairy emotion it evolves out of shame.
Every time the person is confronted with the people who make him feel the shame, he transforms that feeling into hatred because the reason of his shame is to painfull to observe and deal with.
And on top of that comes jealousy of the position this person is in in relation to the other. That fuels the shame and therefor the hatred.
Now what makes the world really afraid and shamefull about judaism and jews?
Jews where one of the first people to deeply understand the nature of man. On a personal level but also on a larger world scale.
In the transition to hunter/gatherers to agricultural comunities. Where comunities grew bigger than a human can naturaly comprehand and live in mutual interest.
Jews made it into a human society in large numbers, without endless tribal wars, chaos and exploitation. The religion evolves from that mission.
Others copied ( Christianity and Islam) and then claimed supriority and demanded submissission to the reformations they made from the original teksts.
The jewish population never left their otiginal knowledge and sticked to what made them prosper in their lives amongst themselves and in the world.
“Zionism succeeded not because it had a grievance, but because it had a soul. It was fueled by 3,000 years of continuous textual, spiritual, and moral continuity. When the early pioneers returned to our ancestral homeland’s swamps and deserts, they did not define themselves by who they hated. They built universities before they had a state. They revived an ancient language, established courts, planted forests, developed agriculture, and laid down the infrastructure of a vibrant, democratic civilization.”
And that makes the jewish population beter in maintaining an human society and florish in their homeland and abroad.
Where others feel themselves failing and lacking such a strong basis.
Not that jews are perfect but most of the jewish people are raised with the aim they personaly reflect on their moral behaviour every day, month and year towards others.
In maintaining a society of mutual resposebillity for their surroundings.
And yes they also fail, they are humans but at least they try in a human way.
That aspect was totally lost in the birth of Islam.
And now the Arabic hatred in the narrative wants to challange that moral clarity by dilibrate agressive provocation.
So the moral standards can not be met in confrontation with the genocidal aims at all jews. It has been done before, by the Greek, the Romans, the Christians, the Nazi’s, the communists and Islam.
And still the IDF finds ways to minimize civillian casualties despite the deliberate human civillian shields in all the surrounding battlefields.
Instead of praise the IDF for that, they are demonised allong with Israel and all jews arround the world.
And the standards that Israel is supposed to meet is never demanded in any other conflict area.
As if to say. “God gave you your morals, you are his chosen people. Now make those standards meet for us, not with us, we are not responsable, for we are not the chosen ones, we look away. We let you deal with it.
Is this maybe a hint to the origins of all antisemitism throughout the ages?

Yes, but at the same time tears came to my eyes. We are a remarkable people.
What an eloquent piece of writing. I loved your description of the Jewish story as "indestructible majesty". Beautiful! It gave me a chill.

Excellent analysis! Thank you. 🙏
Brilliant. I never thought of it this way, that the Palestinians are guilty of the greatest cultural appropriation ever.
"Bovine solemnity" is the perfect term for the frauds trying to claim any manner of falsehoods about the Gazaniacs.

"Gazaniacs"!!! Love it. They are the ultimate completely brainwashed people.
As are all Muslims.
Every word is true and obvious. Why can't the rest of the world see it or just question it?
Because they believe in the concepts of cultural relativism and moral equivalency.
A compelling and important analysis that deserves a broad audience.
Beautifully written, perfectly accurate.
So so true. I cannot imagine being a Palestinian living in Gaza living under Hamas. If only they had a visionary leader who promoted Jewish values, their next generation would prosper.
If they related to Jewish values and sharef the same definition of prosperity, they would not remain Muslims
They do - Ahmad Fouad Alkhatib. The "pro-pals" either pretend he doesn't exit or call him a traitor
“Re-align Palestine” would theoretically be the best course of action for the ‘Palestinian collective’, though naturally they will piss that opportunity into the wind like all others before them.
An absolutely ELOQUENT commentary. Thank you, Nachum, and Shana Tova!

We need a world psychiatrist to heal that hatred.
