Antisemitism is far from a new phenomenon, both in the world and specifically in the Americas. It has been around long before America gained its sovereignty from England. Despite the protections afforded to all religions in the Constitution, the hatred of Jews has existed throughout American history.
Gaza was arguably the prettiest part of Israel before 2005. The Mediterranean sea is met by gorgeous yellow sands and year-round decent weather, not many places exist like it on earth. As the meeting point between the Sinai desert and the Gush Dan region of Israel, it would have made the perfect destination for Europeans in need of a break from the bitter cold.
Israeli residents prior to September of 2005 did an amazing job of cultivating the land and creating gorgeous green farming lands on top of sands that were thought to not be capable of any growth. Today, 17 years after Israel unilaterally vacated the strip in an effort to bring peace, and 16 years into Hamas’s bloody coup against the Palestinian Authority, even fierce Palestinian activists could not argue that the former land of the ancient sea-faring Philistines is still magical. So what happened to Gaza?
I was in Gaza before and after Jews were thrown out of their homes. Before was like the garden of eden, after... Just 2 days after, it was full of filth, flies, and terrible smells. It was a mess. Now #Hamas moved in. Time to take back Gush Katif. pic.twitter.com/9TRIaJ1xli
The Palestinian Authority has acted as the legitimate body representing the Palestinian people and their cause for the past 3 decades. Despite inner conflict and many accusations, including from this site, that the PA is nothing more than a terrorist organization, it can always be worse. As the current leader of the PA, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), approaches his 87th birthday, his faction’s days are coming to an end as well. Abbas’s age and dominance should be a concern for Israel, but even more so for the law-abiding Arab citizens living in his shadow.
Israel along with pro-Zionist activists are facing a bigger threat than any weapon ever pointed toward them. This enemy is so powerful because, unlike an ordinary bullet, it has the power to make or break the entire Jewish state with nothing else but words. I am speaking of course about the media, and not of the BBC headlines or Fox News ones that simply slant the narrative in either direction, but about actual Israel-Palestine news outlets and 'Jewish-led' organizations funded in part, by people such as George Soros.
The ongoing civil unrest in Iran is perhaps, without exaggeration, the most significant development in the country since the Ayatollah’s takeover of the Persian people in 1979. At the very least according to the BBC, it is the “biggest challenge to his [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] rule in a decade”. The Ayatollah announced Israeli and American involvement in the unrest, claiming that “insecurity was engineered by America and the occupying, false Zionist regime."
