Against the Odds |
1948
- 2018: A 70 Year Miracle
From the destruction of the Temple in
Jerusalem until Israel gained its independence once more, 1878 years elapsed.
Israel’s independence was the result of Jewish willingness to fight for the
right to live as a free people in their own land, no longer subject to persecution
which both Muslims and Christians inflicted on the Jewish minorities in their
midst.
On November 29, 1947, the United
Nations voted to recognize a Jewish state in a small part of Israel along the
Mediterranean coast and in the South called the Negev. The Jewish community then
living in Israel accepted the partition of their land, which gave the Arabs two
thirds and the Jews only one third of Jewish territory. All the land of Israel
on the east bank of the Jordan River had already been separated and handed to a
tribe of Bedouins by the British occupiers. This meant that the Arabs had gained
far more than the Israelis. Yet, the Muslims rejected the vote of the United
Nations and declared war on the Jews. The Muslim delegates to the United Nations
shouted: “Their blood Will flow like rivers” and the delegate from Iraq
screamed: “we will smash the Jews and obliterate every place the Jews seek
shelter.” With that, the Arab states attacked the small Jewish community,
believing that they should have no trouble slaughtering every one of the 800,000
Jews then living there. The whole world knew, of course, that Jews can’t fight
and walk into their enemy’s gas ovens without resistance. Only this time the
Arabs made a mistake. With few weapons and enormous courage, the Jews fought
back and survived the Muslim killers in 1948 and again in 1949.
In 1956 and again in 1967, the Arabs
tried once more to slaughter every man, woman, and child in Israel. In 1967, the
Egyptian dictator Nasser had accumulated large amounts of weapons from the
Soviet Union (Russia), including a fleet of airplanes, tanks, guns, and
ammunition, with which Nasser threatened to invade and bring about another
Holocaust. Advised by Nazi fugitives from Europe, the Egyptians in the south and
the Syrians in the north of Israel, aided by the Jordanians with British help in
the East, assaulted Israel. To the amazement of the killers and the
disappointment of the world, Israelis defeated all three aggressors and held on
to the land needed to prevent further such invasions in the future. Yet in 1973,
the surrounding Arab states once more attacked Israel on Yom Kippur, hoping that
the Jews would be so preoccupied on the holiest day of their year that they
could not fight back. Defeated once more, Egypt and Jordan signed peace treaties
with Israel.
Yet, 70 years later, most Arabs, and
particularly those living in Israel, still want to feed on Jewish blood and
still hope to slaughter every man, woman, or child believing in Judaism.
Pretending that Israel somehow occupies so-called Arab land, the haters follow
Hitler’s advice, who said repeatedly that a lie told over and over again is
finally accepted as the truth. And so American newspapers keep talking about
occupied Arab land when in fact the Arabs are occupying Jewish land. The truth
is that not a single Arab nor a single Jew would have been wounded or killed had
Muslim Arabs accepted the vote of the United Nations in 1947 instead of
attacking and murdering and killing. Every Arab ever wounded or killed by an
Israeli bullet is the responsibility of the Arabs themselves.
The United Nations, controlled by the
Arabs and their friends, spend all their time denouncing Israel and Jews. In the
United States, most major American university campuses engage in incessant
anti-Jewish hate orgies, instigated mostly by Muslim students from foreign
countries who spread hatred throughout the United States.
Despite all this, Israel is today a
mighty military power with a winning economy and enormous technical innovations.
In view of the Iranian threat, Saudi and other Arab states are unofficially
relaxing their antagonism to Israel, even as the so-called Palestinians, who are
definitely not the descendants of the ancient Philistines, continue to seek
Israel’s destruction instead of contributing anything positive to the land
they live in. Meanwhile, these so-called Philistines demand that the United
States pay them billions of dollars every year so they can continue to live
without working at the expense the American taxpayer, even as they declare their
hatred of the United States
Today, Israel Is stronger than ever,
and with the help of “Shem Yisborach”
will remain a light unto the nations
