The Jew, Original Sin, And Why Humanity Will Not Advance

     Humanity will not advance, and serious problems will not get addressed (including environmental degradation, plastics poisoning the oceans, wars, poverty, famine, nuclear weapons proliferation, habitat destruction, biodiversity collapse, etc.), until humanity frees itself of its need to have a scapegoat (or target) to hate and blame for everything.
      The Jew has been humanity's preferred scapegoat. Some Jew hating Christians blame the death of Jesus on Jews. They hate Jews, but do not mind worshiping Jesus, a Jew, or paying respect to Mary, a Jew, and all the early disciples of Jesus, most of whom were Jews. It is over 2000 years since the crucifixion of Jesus. Is there a single Jew alive that is even remotely connected to the death of Jesus? But to the Jew hater, Jews are one monolithic entity, incapable of independent thought and action, and all equally guilty and worthy of persecution. If someone is really a Christian, they would understand that if Jesus is the son of god, which is what true Christians believe, then Jesus had to be crucified in order to be resurrected. Without the resurrection, there would be no Christianity. The Romans, who were the ones that crucified Jesus, were forgiven by Jesus on the cross, who said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do".
        The forgiveness that was in the heart of Jesus did not pass down to generations of people that claimed to follow Jesus, but eagerly persecuted Jews and those that did not accept Jesus. How someone can follow Jesus and yet hate Jews is beyond comprehension. Did Jesus teach hate? Did Jesus teach persecution? He did not. A Jew hater may call himself a  Christian, but no true Christian can be a Jew hater.
          Jews were made to pay dearly for the death of Jesus, which was long used as the excuse to persecute and murder Jews. Centuries of persecution in Christian Europe culminated in the mass slaughter of the Jews.
         
            In 1948, Jews finally got their own state. The newfound Jewish state was immediately attacked by Arab armies. The Arabs lost. This was the time when Arabs fled from what is now Israel during a time of war. Arabs, meanwhile, drove out their Jews. More Jews were driven out from Arab Muslim majority lands in the middle east and North Africa than there were Arabs that fled or were driven out from what is now Israel. Many of the Arabs that fled from Israel, now called Palestinians, have been kept as refugees by other Arabs. Israel absorbed the Jews from Arab Muslim majority lands.
             1948 cannot be changed. but in the minds of many that hate Israel and seek its destruction, Jews must be driven out and the lands must be returned to Arabs and to Muslims. They conveniently forget that the Jews driven out from Arab Muslim majority and other Muslim majority lands have nowhere to go. They conveniently forget that Arab Muslims and other Muslims ethnically cleanses themselves of their Jewish populations. These Jews and their descendants make up the majority population of Israel. They cannot return to Jew hating places such as Yemen, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Algeria, Libya and more. If they did , they would be persecuted and murdered. The rights of the Jews driven out from Arab Muslim and other Muslim majority lands are no less deserving, no less valid than the rights and claims of Palestinian Arabs. Furthermore, there were massacres of Jews by Arabs living in Palestine, or pre-Israel. The Arabs, now called Palestinians, massacred Jews in Hebron, Jerusalem, Jaffe, and elsewhere. Also, certain Palestinian Arab religious leaders aligned themselves with Hitler, hoping the genocide would extend to the Jews living in Palestine. This bit of history is conveniently ignored, because it does not fit the narrative of Palestinian victimhood and Jewish sin.
               Many Arab Muslims and other Muslims, along with Jew hating followers, want an ethnic cleansing of Israel's Jewish population. even though more than 70 years have passed since the founding of the State of Israel. They are no less determined to destroy the Jewish state than were the Arabs that attacked Israel in 1948.
                 For the millionth time, the only way to resolve this conflict is for all sides to accept the legitimacy of the other, and seek peace and reconciliation instead of the continuation of armed conflict, violence and terror. What the Islamic jihadists like Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Iran and more call resistance is nothing more than the long standing effort -not resistance- to slaughter  Jews.
                 Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leader, tells the Jews to leave Israel before the slaughter takes place. Leave and go where? Back to Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Afghanistan? Back to where? Back to a Europe that was the graveyard for Jews, and for which over 70 years have passed with generation after generation of Jews raised on Israel's soil, with no connection to Europe or anywhere else. The massive influx of Muslims into Europe, with many raised to hate Jews, has made Europe unsafe for many Jews.The Jews of Israel have their backs to the wall. Will the world allow for a new genocide? Or will rationality, decency and compassion finally set in where this conflict will be resolved through peaceful means and mutual respect? Until then, as long as the world has the Jew to hate and the Jewish majority country of Israel to try to destroy, humanity will not advance.
