The anti-semitic double standard

By Jonathan J. Ariel - posted Friday, 20 February 2015


c)      nobody has referred the matter to the International Criminal Court for war crimes investigation;

d)     no demonstrations against the Hashemite Kingdom have taken place nor are planned and

e)      no calls to boycott Jordan’s exports have been made.

Why? Good question.

Even friends of Jordan can all see that its response is out of all proportion. After all, unlike Israel, Jordan is not faced with immediate threat from terrorists.

But the ”international community” is with the Hashemite Kingdom because it agrees that Jordan is merely doing what every country should do and would do in a similar situation. Every one other than the Jewish state.

Self-defence is fürJudenverboten. How dare the Jews stand up for themselves? Have they learned nothing from the ghettosof World War II into which where they were corralled like emaciated pigs into sties before being slaughtered?

In the history of war, no people threatened by an aggressor and fighting for their very existence have ever been vilified for utilizing their full forces to prevail – with one exception. Not the United States when it dragged Hiroshima and Nagasaki all the way back to the Stone Age. Not the Red Army for its behaviour in the Great Patriotic War. Only Israel is guilty when it chooses not to capitulate or die.

Today the Jewish people face four major challenges.

First, a deep-rooted well fertilised old fashioned tried ‘n tested, reliable European anti-Semitism.

Second, an Arab Lobby-funded Jew baiting machine.
