The Jews Face a Double Standard By MARVIN HIERWhy doesn't Israel have the same right to self-defense as other nations?The world-wide protests against Israel's ground incursion into Gaza are so full of hatred that they leave me with the terrible feeling that these protests have little to do with the so-called disproportionality of the Israeli response to Hamas rockets, or the resulting civilian casualties.My fear is that the rage we see in the protesters marching in the streets is far more profound and dangerous than we would like to believe. There are a great many people in the world who, even after Auschwitz, just can't bear the Jewish state having the same rights they so readily grant to other nations. These voices insist Israel must take risks they would never dare ask of any other nation-state -- risks that threaten its very survival -- because they don't believe Israel should exist in the first place.Just look at the spate of attacks this week on Jews and Jewish institutions around the world: a car ramming into a synagogue in France; a Chabad menorah and Jewish-owned shops sprayed with swastikas in Belgium; a banner at an Australian rally demanding "clean the earth from dirty Zionists!"; demonstrators in the Netherlands chanting "Gas the Jews"; and in Florida, protestors demanding Jews "Go back to the ovens!"How else can we explain the double-standard that is applied to the Gaza conflict, if not for a more insidious bias against the Jewish state?At the U.N., no surprise, this double-standard is in full force. In response to Israel's attack on Hamas, the Security Council immediately pulled an all-night emergency meeting to consider yet another resolution condemning Israel. Have there been any all-night Security Council sessions held during the seven months when Hamas fired 3,000 rockets at half a million innocent civilians in southern Israel? You can be certain that during those seven months, no midnight oil was burning at the U.N. headquarters over resolutions condemning terrorist organizations like Hamas. But put condemnation of Israel on the agenda and, rain or shine, it's sure to be a full house.Red Cross officials are all over the Gaza crisis, describing it as a full-blown humanitarian nightmare. Where were they during the seven months when tens of thousands of Israeli families could not sleep for fear of a rocket attack? Where were their trauma experts to decry that humanitarian crisis?There have been hundreds of articles and reports written from the Erez border crossing falsely accusing Israel of blocking humanitarian supplies from reaching beleaguered Palestinians in Gaza. (In fact, over 520 truck loads of humanitarian aid have been delivered through Israeli crossings since the beginning of the Israeli counterattack.) But how many news articles, NGO reports and special U.N. commissions have investigated Hamas's policy of deliberately placing rocket launchers near schools, mosques and homes in order to use innocent Palestinians as human shields?Many people ask why there are so few Israeli casualties in comparison with the Palestinian death toll. It's because Israel's first priority is the safety of its citizens, which is why there are shelters and warning systems in Israeli towns. If Hamas can dig tunnels, it can certainly build shelters. Instead, it prefers to use women and children as human shields while its leaders rush into hiding.And then there are the clarion calls for a cease-fire. These words, which come so easily, have proven to be a recipe for disaster. Hamas uses the cease-fire as a time-out to rearm and smuggle even more deadly weapons so the next time, instead of hitting Sderot and Ashkelon, they can target Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.The pattern is always the same. Following a cease-fire brought on by international pressure, there will be a call for a massive infusion of funds to help Palestinians recover from the devastation of the Israeli attack. The world will respond eagerly, handing over hundreds of millions of dollars. To whom does this money go? To Hamas, the same terrorist group that brought disaster to the Palestinians in the first place.The world seems to have forgotten that at the end of World War II, President Harry Truman initiated the Marshall Plan, investing vast sums to rebuild Germany. But he did so only with the clear understanding that the money would build a new kind of Germany -- not a Fourth Reich that would continue the policies of Adolf Hitler. Yet that is precisely what the world will be doing if we once again entrust funds to Hamas terrorists and their Iranian puppet masters.In less than two weeks, Barack Obama will be sworn in as president of the United States. But there is no "change we can believe in" in the Middle East -- not where Israel is concerned. The double-standard continuously applied to the Jewish state proves that, for much of the world, the real lessons of World War II have yet to be learned.

You are so right LGFZec 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem. Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Cristina, Love the post, You stated the truth how the world looks down on Israel. World Hypocrisy at its worse.
I must second Ecepttruth's sentiments here. Great post Christina. The majority of the world have no idea of the full extent of this.

The Jewish state is now guilty before God and the world as they are the muderers of innocent men, women in children who were slaughtered in their own houses. This is a crime against humaity and a crime against God.
So let's get this straight. It's OK if Hamas fires rockets into Israel, just as terrorists ram jets into the World trade center towers, but its not OK to retaliate? And let's get something else straight. It's OK for Hamas to place their headquarters under hospitals or where there's innocent civilians to act as shields so that when they get blown up we can see how bad Israel is?EVEN IF (and that's an if) the so-called Israel has no right to the land (which I think you are mistaken) does not justify Hamas just taunting them by firing rockets into their territory habitually until this escalates into war. A few years back, they swore that if Israel pulled out there would be peace. Frankly, now that Israel complied, I never saw it so screwed up. Just goes to show that they cannot support their own country or government any more than I find inner city slum taking care of themselves without a handout---- but it's always someone else's fault to them.In psychology that's called "projection". One projects the faults, failures and filth of their own lives to another and blames them for their own self-induced troubles. If we gave them all 2x4's they'd hit themselves on the heads until they were concussed, and then Israel would be blamed for that as well.

Cup of Ruin has said this quite well but the people who are protesting about israel are protesting about the fact the israeli army are indescrimatly targeting civilians and UN builings and not hamas.if israel want to destroy hamas than fine-but their conduct in this war, such as telling groups of families to go into a buliding then hour later bombing it, bombing UN run schools claiming that hamas are hiding inside when UN officials come out and clearly state the only people inside were scared families and Killing UN workers who were bringing in aid for the sick and injured indicates they just want blood and don't care who's it is. believe what you want to-but they will have to answer for their actions on the day of judgement. i don't care what nationality or religion a child is-NO CHILD deserves to be killed and the majority of the people who have died in palestine have been children. my thoughts are with all the innocent who have been taken in this unjust war on both sides, at least they are in the hands of the Almighty now.

Does this apply for Hamas as well? If so, then why is everyone focusing on Israel only? Let's keep in mind who started this whole thing and then crying like they are martyrs.

The Jews started it when they arrived illegally from Eastern Europe and took by force a land that was not theirs. They are illegal aliens, Khazars from Ashkenaz from Eastern Europe who claimed the holy land via the Balfour Declaration after WWII.

You know, I get the sense that you hate God chosen people, the Jews, aka Our brother Judah. You merely mixed it up with God's enemies amd that is downright unbiblical.

But it's their land, the Jewish occupation is illegal they have no claim, being of Ashkenaz descent.
The Palestinians? Yeah, that's what I thought. That's the bottom line. Everyone and their brother wants the rights to that land. Show me Scripture that says that regarding Palestinians. I'll wait for your answer, but won't hold my breath in case I die.And in case you haven't read the other post, the link about Jews and Judah is found here.>>>http://www.britam.org/judah.html

I already said they were the decsentant of Ishmael and I dont care so much about your legal use of the Word Jew they are Judah and they are Jews today and they do have the sceptor and it is written in Eze. 37 and Islam is a a false religion they follow a false god our God is not thier god one read of the Koran will tell you that ..........Sense they want you dead if you are christian or a Jew ..or as the Koran states if you are Satuday or Sunday worshiper you are either pig or a dogCup-of-Ruin;67608][QUOTE][QUOTE=Christina;67581]I am explaining the true definition of the word "Jew"; who it refers to and its etymological definition and its Biblical meaning.Strong said:
of course it does, if hamas had invaded israel and were bombing UN schools and told israelis to go to their homes before bombing them then yes. i am in no way condoning hamas or anything they do but there is no excuse for israels actions.

According to the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia "The primary meaning of Ashkenaz and Ashkenazim in Hebrew is Germany and Germans. This may be due to the fact that the home of the ancient ancestors of the Germans is Media, which is the biblical Ashkenaz...Krausss is of the opinion that in the early medieval Ages the Khazars were sometimes referred to as Ashkenazim...About 92% of all Jews or appoximately 14,500,000 are Ashkenazim"Genesis 10:1-3 - "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth;...the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz..."The Ashkenaz Jews who are 92% majority are not Semitic, they are in fact Turko-Mongoloid Japhethic, Khazars are not descended from Shem.The American People's Encyclopedia for 1954 at page 15-292 records the following in reference to Khazars;"In the year 740 AD The Khazars were officially converted to Judaism. A century later they were crushed by incoming Slavic-speaking people who were scattered all over Europe WHERE THEY BECAME KNOWN AS JEWS"
