I am anguished and sickened by the Tsunami wave of hatred of virulently sick and utterly despicable LIES, fabrications and tales of "genocide" by unscrupulous, disingenuous and utterly mendacious broadcasts by "World News Media" personalities and articles by journalists.
In stark contrast to today's world wide virulent anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred, at one time the renewal of Jewish life in “Eretz Yisrael” was not an obstacle to the Arab world. We were not demonized as we are today by the “Falestinians” and “Human Rights Groups”.
These lies by "World News Media" personalities and articles by journalists have influenced millions and have corrupted, defamed and tarnished the image of Israel. At the same time these lies have been helped to spread like a plague, a pandemic across the planet by educators -teachers and professors who have been brainwashed by the lies. The combination of the failure of educators to educate the truth and journalists to retain integrity and honesty has in their defamation of Israel and “Zionism”, has awaken the old ancient hatred of the Jewish people.
In our responses as Jews and as Israelis we CANNOT allow ourselves to stoop to the level of the bottom of the slime pool as those who defame and slander Israel do.
Also we should NOT stoop to the utter vile hatred of those Moslems who hate us since there are many Moslems who are friends and wish to live in peace with us.
To show hatred of another's religion because of the ignorance of a few is exactly the same SICK mentality of anti-Semitism!
Why are we considered to be"The Chosen People"? Could it be throughout time we have been more MORALISTIC?
Were we "chosen" because, despite ALL the hatred and persecutions we have suffered over the multitude of generations, we aspire to behave and act constructively and beneficially?
Our learned ones our sages lead the way and to teach and educate. We were taught NOT to hate and destroy.
We have shown this in our belief of "Pikuach nefesh" the "sanctity of life" countless times through the generations. As a country, Israel has shown this in our assistance to those people and countries that have suffered tragedies and disasters and were in dire need of medical care, rescue teams and comfort.
We have accomplished much of this "Tikkun Olam" by the intelligence of our people in developing cures for deadly disease, in new ways to feed those who are hungry, by developing technologies to purify water and to glean clean water from the air.
We ARE the, "People of the Book" - for we learn, we read and comprehend. We are educators - Rabbis teachers, if you may, to the masses of the Tower of Babel.
Here is exactly WHAT Emir -Prince Faisal Husseini, king of Syria and Iraq once learned and understood from his association with Jews when he wrote to US Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, an associate of Dr. Chaim Weizmann president of the Zionist Organization professing his support for Zionist aims in 1919:
"We feel that the Arabs and Jews are cousins...and We Arabs, especially the educated among us look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement....We are working together for a reformed and revived Near East,...The Jewish movement is national and not imperialist."
"Our movement is national and not imperialist, and there is room in Syria for us both. Indeed I think that neither can be a real success without the other.
People less informed and less responsible than our leaders and yours, ignoring the need for cooperation of the Arabs and Zionists have been trying to exploit the local difficulties that must necessarily arise in Palestine in the early stages of our movements. Some of them have, I am afraid, misrepresented your aims to the Arab peasantry, and our aims to the Jewish peasantry, with the result that interested parties have been able to make capital out of what they call our differences.
I wish to give you my firm conviction that these differences are not on questions of principle, but on matters detail such as must inevitably occur in every contact of neighboring peoples, and as are easily adjusted by mutual good will. Indeed nearly all of them will disappear with fuller knowledge.
I look forward, and my people with me look forward, to a future in which we will help you and you will help us, so that the countries in which we are mutually interested may once again take their places in the community of civilized peoples of the world."
With the help of God, Inshallah, may ALL leaders of Moslem nations realize these words of Emir Faisal so that we may we all raise and EDUCATE our children in the ways of peace and happiness. It is OUR fervent hope that we know no more the sadness and cruelty of hatred, jealousy and war!
