Why Does No One Object to Eight Officially Islamic States but Cannot Tolerate One Small Jewish State?
(Gatestone Institute) Nils A. Haug - Israel is the rightful and eternal ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. Much of the world nevertheless seems eager to believe lies about Israelis being colonialists - despite the inconvenient fact that the Jews fought colonialism, administered by the British. Jews have been rooted to Israel (Zion) for nearly 4,000 years, backed by a promise in Genesis 15:18 that God made to the ancient father of all Jews: Abraham. Muslims have been around only since the exploits of Mohammed - who died in 632 CE. It would be considered laughable for the natives of any other country to be asked to defend their right to exist; why are Jews expected, after almost 4,000 years on the land, to explain their rights to Israel being their homeland? Does anyone ask if Germany has a right to exist? Or Kazakhstan? In today's uncomfortable reality, jihadists do not seem even slightly interested in giving up murdering Jews. A strong and secure Israel will come only through a dynamic policy of self-defense that will be able to meet those striving for the country's elimination with determination. The world is not just getting less safe for Jews. It is also rapidly becoming less safe for Christians, Hindus and Muslims deemed by other Muslims to be not Muslim enough. No one seems to mind having eight officially Islamic states (Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, Mauritania, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen) and 18 states where Islam is the state religion, and one officially Anglican state, England, but they apparently cannot tolerate one small Jewish state. As the leaders in the West increasingly lose their moral compass and kneel to appease the radical Jew-haters in their midst, the Jews hold the moral high ground; their critics and enemies do not.
