1948 And The Effort to Justify Murdering Jews

 Only when it comes to Jews and Israel do people try to justify murder, sexual abuse, mutilation, kidnapping, other atrocities and crimes against humanity, such as what Hamas committed against defenseless people, including babies and children, in Israel on October 7. Palestinian Arab narratives about past or present wrongs, grievances and injustices, even if all of their narratives were true, are but a few of the many narratives that exist in a world full of past and present wrongs, grievances and injustices, none of which are used as the excuse or justification for murder, sexual abuse and other atrocities against anyone, except when it comes to Jews and Israelis.

Countering the many narratives in relation to Israel about past wrongs, grievances and perceived injustices, regardless of whether they are true or not, fails to recognize the underlying motive for many of these narratives, which is to legitimize murder, sexual abuse and other crimes against humanity in a world full of past and present wrongs, grievances and injustices, as long as Jews and Israelis are the target. Past or present wrongs, grievances, injustices, whether real, imagined or fabricated, are never acceptable excuses, defenses or justifications for murder, sexual abuse and other atrocities. And yet, when it comes to Jews living on the land of Israel, an exception is diabolically made

Hamas sexual abuse, murder, mutilation and all of the other atrocities Hamas and their allies committed on October 7 that started a senseless war, are excused by many and blamed on the Jew and Israel. As though Hamas terrorists are incapable of accountability or free will. No matter the atrocities, many blame Jews, not the perpetrators of crimes and atrocities against Jews. 

Nothing ever justifies murder, sexual abuse, mutilation, kidnapping and other atrocities, in a world determined once again to legitimatize sexual abuse, murder, mutilation and other atrocities as long as it is against Jews and Israelis.

The excuse that October 7 atrocities must be blamed on Israeli actions in 1948, when the state of Israel was attacked on all sides and from within by Arab armies and militias, or on events prior to October 7, is an effort to shift blame to Jews and Israel and not on the actual October 7 sexual abusers, kidnappers, mutilators and murderers. 

People are responsible for their own actions, and the past, however it is interpreted, or anything else are not excuses for murdering, sexually abusing and committing other atrocities.

No one forces grown people to sexually abuse, mutilate, kidnap, torture, murder, behead, burn people alive.  

The effort to infantilize Hamas terrorists and free them of responsibility is beyond despicable.

The United States, Canada, the rest of North America, Central America, Australia, all over the middle east, N. Africa, other parts of Africa, Asia, New Zealand, South America, and elsewhere, are steeped in histories of genocide, slavery, conquest, land theft, colonization and occupation, committed not just by Europeans, but also by Arabs, Turks and others. 

If past sins or wrongs, real or not, are used to justify murder, sexual abuse and other atrocities, including against generations of people that have nothing to do with what happened in the past, then hundreds of millions of people- not just the tiny number of Jews in the world that often get blamed for everything- are subject to murder in a world where vengeance, chaos, violence and slaughter will reign.

People are responsible for their own actions. Sins of the past, whether real, fabricated or imagined, are not inherited. No amount of hatred changes this.

Israeli War Crime Accusations And The Goal To Destroy Israel

 In war, mistakes are made.

There are also times in war that armies commit human rights violations and atrocities.

All of this must be investigated impartially. Human rights violations and war crimes must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, although there is rarely an impartial authority with the power to enforce the Geneva convention and the appropriate rules of war and engagement.

Many countries in the west, east and elsewhere have committed or still are committing war crimes.

No one demands that the United States, other western or nonwestern nations have their civilian populations wiped out and ethnically cleansed because of war crimes these nations may have committed. 

The difference between Israel and other countries at war is that accusations against Israel are used to promote the goal of Israel's enemies to slaughter Israel's majority population, over 7 million men, women, children and babies.

The goal of Israel's enemies is the complete destruction of Israel and the genocide of its people.

Accusations against Israel must stop being used as the excuse to ignore, defend, deny, deflect or justify Hamas atrocities, which includes Hamas deliberate murdering, kidnapping, sexually abusing, mutilating defenseless civilians, including babies and children, such as what it did on Oct 7, which started a senseless war.

Israel and all nations of the world must be held accountable for the conduct of their armies. All nations must be criticized and held responsible if their military commits war crimes and human rights violations. 

But the goal to destroy Israel is a completely different matter. That is a genocidal goal that no sane, decent person should support.
