Yes.

Anti-Semitism was the reason why Arab nationalists started attacking Jews (and hatred for other minorities was the reason to attack and murder Kurds, Dinkas, Berbers, Fur, Massalith, Assyrians and all those other peoples).

If the attacks on Jews stopped, there would be no "Palestinian issues". There would simply be two countries, Israel and Invaderland (or whatever they want to kill it, I always thought that "invaders" is a stupid name for a people).

Anti-Semitism drove the German Nazis as well as the Arab Nazis.

And if you think this is not about anti-Semitism, just look at what Hamas have to say about Jews.

As long as the world's "criticism" remains anti-Semitic, that shield is a good defence.

Once the world criticises Israel for its actions rather than its Jewishness, we can talk about the shield. I would assume that as long as Israel is consistently the only subject discussed by the UN's "human rights" councils, we are facing anti-Semitism, because there are FAR more urgent issues where 100 times as many people are killed for reasons other than self defence against their attacks.

If it weren't for anti-Semitism, Israel wouldn't even be on anybody's radar.

The Sudanese killed more than two million people but there was no conference where the world decided to give 3 billion dollars to Sudan's enemies.

Do you know that the PLO and Hamas call the Bedouins and Druze who fight for Israel "traitors"? If this wasn't about anti-Semitism, why on earth would Arabs fighting on Israel's side be traitors? If this was not about the Jews being Jews, why would it be treason to fight with them for the country? Who would they be betraying?

No, it isn't something to be picked up. It's a non-issue. Looking at the region and picking on the one country that keeps violence down to low levels doesn't make sense, unless you have another problem with that country.

If you are worried about "Palestinian" children, why not write articles about Lebanon and Jordan, where there is a lot more violence against "Palestinians" than in Israel including the West-Bank and Gaza?

Israel has done a lot more to help "Palestinians" than to harm them. Israel sheltered them from Jordan (and I think she shouldn't have). Israel provides medical care (to people who want to destroy her). And it is _Israel_ who gave the "Palestinians" their first government. Before the Palestinian Authority, the West-Bank and Gaza were either part of Egypt and Jordan (who didn't give them independence and didn't want to) and Israel (who wanted them to be independent since 1949).

Picking on Israel is just a way to keep the "Palestinians" in limbo. They'll never have their own country unless Israel gives it to them, because nobody else will. If Israel loses a war, the "Palestinians" have no chance to be independent ever.

It is just coincidence that the world always watches the Jews?

If you would look into the matter you would see that Israel's actions are a reaction to what the PA is doing. PA is constantly antagonising Israel.  I doubt that the U.S. would wait for multiple missles to be fired in their land by Canada which Israel does.  Why does the news media not report that Hamas shots missles constantly into Israel even after this last invasion and during this 'truce' guess what Hamas is firing missles into Israel. 

You should read about the nice friendly peaceful group of Hamas.  I've talked to people in the Hamas government and they said and I quote 'We will not have peace until there is no Israel.'  Fussyvet, you can try say that they play the antisemite card, but when you have a group of people saying there will be no peace until your gone.  I think the problem is in the ideology.

Speaking of Darfur.  I've met and spoken to a lot of Sudanese refugees in my time over there.  I would hear stories of the journey to a country that would allow them to enter.  When approaching the Egyptian border the Egyptian military opened fired and slaughter a lot of refugees.  Did you hear that on the news of course not.  What you hear on the news is that Israel rejects entrance of Darfur refugees.

It was insightful to be able to talk to them.  Most of the refugees spoke arabic it made no sense why no arab country would take them.  They would tell me that their whole village would be slaughter.  It didn't matter any more if they were muslim.  It was funny because they told me there were a lot of foreigns helping this one group to cause so much chaos.  You know where they said these foreigners were from?  They said some from Egypt, some Syria, but mostly from Iran.  Hmmm interesting.....

> When approaching the Egyptian border the Egyptian military opened fired and slaughter a lot of refugees.  Did you hear that on the news of course not.

You are wrong. I know the case that the Darfur refugees were shot by Egypt. Both you don't need to bring Darfur up to me to compare with Palestine. I have read much more papers on that than on the Palestinian issue.

Leauki, do I have to write articles every time when I am concerned about a certain issue, which can be an only ruler to measure how much concerns? There are many other issues I am concerned about even if I have written articles in my English blog.

Anyway, so much for this time.

You don't understand my concern.

Jews are attacked, people die, the war continues BECAUSE people, especially the media, create the impression as if Israel was the most evil country that has ever existed, when in reality it is among the least violent places in the middle east.

Resources that should be invested to help people, especially in the Sudan and elsewhere in Africa, are instead spent to fight Israel and to rebuild Gaza and such things.

Even if you write about "Palestine" and Darfur, you are still putting the two in the same category, as if 100,000 innocent Africans are the same as a few hundred terrorists and their human shields. They are not.

And the war against Israel WILL NOT END until the terrorists lost their support worldwide.

You can be sure that Israel won't stop fighting until the last Jew is dead. But may the terrorists can be beaten before that time.

I'm not sure how I am wrong when you agree with me? Unless you are saying that it was just one case of it happening. I don't think Leauki nor I brought up Darfur.  I believe you brought it up.

They are related because they both are dealing with same threat.  I give you a quote by Ghazi Suleiman who I've met and actually has almost been been killed several times.  Mr. Suleiman is a Sudanese Human Rights Activist and I quote "The conflict in Darfur has NOTHING TO DO WITH MARGINALISATION or the inequitable distribution of wealth.  Inherenetly, it is a struggle between the two factions of the Sudanese Islamist movement, the (oppostion) Popular Congress party and the ruling National Congress."

I really believe that you are not seeing what the true problems in each of these areas.  For example, trying to put the blunt of the blame on Israel or insinuating that the Darfur crisis is due to impoverish condition.  If you are concerned with the children then the ROOT of those problems should be remedy NOT the symptoms.

It's amazing how one group of people can disrupt a whole country.  This is why Egypt and other muslim countries wouldn't let many Sudanese refugees in.

If something wrong happened to you about me, it might be because of my poor English. Sorry if I hurt you.
