so you think Israel should tear down its walls

So you think Israel should tear down its walls?

I lived in Israel for nineteen years. I lost a good friend during the Second Intifada to a suicide bomber who chose to turn a music pub on the Tel Aviv seafront into a scene from a disaster movie. During this time I also tutored a boy of a close family friend – I helped him pass his exams – only to see him murdered by Hamas terrorists. Israel tried to make peace with the Palestinians over and over again and the result was always the same – exploding buses, cafes and malls. The threat has not gone away – and all those people who want to slaughter Jews are held back only by Israel’s security apparatus.

Which is why it is so offensive to see people who hate the Jewish state turn Israel’s need to defend its citizens – into something nasty. There is nothing dirty about Israel protecting Israelis from genocidal hate. But the anti-Israel propaganda machine is a billion-dollar industry – and haters have taken to disgracefully calling Israel’s defensive strategies – ‘apartheid’.  Just this week we have seen an explosion of these claims from ‘progressive’ US politicians.

So I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone just what Israel’s non-existent apartheid is actually about:

Israel and Gaza.

Israel withdrew fully from Gaza in 2005 and dismantled the Israeli settlements there. Everyone – including the Palestinian leadership described it as a ‘historic’ move. Today these people – Hamas – control Gaza. They were put in power by the Palestinians – who voted the Islamic terror group into office. Hamas then did what all Islamic terror groups do – they slaughtered the opposition and turned the Gaza strip into a terror enclave. Hamas – and Islamic Jihad – are constantly trying to kill Israelis any way they can.

Nablus and Jenin

Areas under PA control these days are not much better. The PA was always unwilling to make peace with Israel and the Fatah leadership nurtured terror as a means of pressuring Israel. They have long since lost control and today the streets of cities such as Nablus and Jenin are run by terror groups. The PA won’t hold elections because they know the Islamic terrorists will win.

Israeli streets

Israel does not want to restrict anyone’s freedom – but even when its back is turned for a second – devastation strikes. Just some examples of the terror attacks from 2022/2023:

The security fence

The security fence (what they call the ‘Apartheid wall’) was not always there – and these horrific images are from a time when Palestinian terrorists could enter Israel more freely:

Lebanon and Iran

And let us not forget some of the players in Israel’s neighbourhood. Hezbollah and Iran – openly calling for genocidal war and supplying Palestinian terrorists with weapons and money:

Enemies of the state

And outside of the conflict zone there is an army of people spreading hate and lies about Israel. Tweets that demonise Israeli quickly go viral. This week Noor Wazwaz, an American Palestinian ‘journalist’, published a thread on Twitter about her ‘awful’ treatment at the hands of Israel’s airline security. It was a tweet that received over a million views.  Wazwaz is out to demonise Israel any way that she can. What she forgot to tell everyone is that her timeline is toxic and she has posted things like this – calling for a third intifada or violent uprising (h/t).

What country in the world would not consider her a security risk if those threats were aimed at their own citizens? So yes, she had a hard time flying with El Al.

These propagandists just do not live in the real world, and they throw everything they can at Israel because they want it wiped off the map. Sadly, too many people are taken in by it. This leads to a stream of blatant lies being circulated in the media. Just this week the Guardian posted an article on a report from Human Rights Watch that suggested women in Israel are treated like women in Saudi Arabia.

Utter – total – poppycock. This is fake news of the antisemitic kind being openly spread by mainstream media.

‘Tear down those walls’

It is important to understand that when people call for an end to Israel’s ‘Apartheid’ – they are actually just saying that Israel should tear down the walls that protect it. This is not an innocent error. These same people are calling for an end to companies such as Elbit that help Israel provide security to its citizens..

They do not just want Israel to tear down the walls – they want the Jews defenceless.

The Apartheid smear is a deliberate attempt to weaken Israel so as to make it easier for its enemies to wipe it off the map. Israel doesn’t have to be perfect – any more than the US, UK or France have to be perfect. But it is the Jewish home – and because it is a ‘Jewish’ home – it has a lot of enemies that seek to destroy it.

Enough with the lies

For decades Israel’s enemies have been building a case propped up by a mountain of lies. The laws they say are ‘racist’ in Israel are mostly those of the type every state has. The Israeli flag (with the Star of David) is no more racist than the Union Jack (with the cross). Having a Jewish holiday as an official state holiday is no different from what the west does at Christimas time. I even wrote a report showing that this claim is nothing but an empty smear.

Israel is a nation of refugees. Israel was created as a space in which Jews could control their own destiny and live away from the relentless persecutions that they suffered in the Christian and Islamic worlds. They have a lot of enemies – and they are greatly outnumbered by them – but now they can at least defend themselves. They sit in a neighbourhood overrun with Islamic extremists and despots. Despite it all Israel has remained a bastion of democracy in the region. The walls are there only to stop those that seek to kill them.

Israel is no more ‘racist’ than a refuge for women is ‘sexist’.

There is no Apartheid in Israel. There is a country defending itself from radical Islamic forces. This is what any nation – any people – would do – if they found themselves in the same situation.

Enough with the lies.

    Perhaps you were denied boarding due to your past social media posts that clearly support terror and are antisemitic had something to do with your ordeal.

  2. Maybe she meant that the women prevented from studying, etc in Israel are those of the MUSLIM persuasion & are stopped by their own communities NOT by Israel!

    1. Thanks JaquiB. You won’t see her or other B(d)S “activists” criticizing totalitarianism even under “moderate” Abu Mazen. What happened to one or two who dared to speak out against him in recent years?

  3. Twisted “racism” mini guide on the Arab vs Israel “conflict”:

    * Rule number 1: “racism” terminology can only be hurled at the ones most victimized by bigotry – past and present (including at the ME conflict), AKA Jews.

    * Racist-Arab Islamist-bigots terrorist targeting specifically Jews to murder, to injure – “freedom fighting.”

    * The em-masse BDS: “HitlerDidntFinis.TheJob.YouAreModernDayNazis.AllahBlessHitle..NazisWereGood.HitlerGood.Netany…Hitler.HitlerWasRi.ht.GazaIsConcentrationCamp.NoGasChambers.50HolocaustsEveryday.” = “innocent [sic] Palestinians”

    * Mothers, teachers child-abusers: pushing, indoctrinating kids for racist Intifada, jihadism = “UN’s children “

    * Islamist hate sermons, (mosques are under “moderate” PA control and guidance, not to mention Faza under’ Hamas) with or without the ‘ages and pigs’ thing – ignore.

    * Raw apartheid envisioned judenrein “Palestine” state (see Mahmoud Abbas in 2010-2012) – “justice”

    * Raw racism, apartheid, punishing Arabs selling land to Jews. – ignore.

    * Legitimate Israeli worries for security – “racism”

    * Arab on Arab epidemic violence – Blame da juuz.

    * Fene erected to prevent genocidal homicide bombers – apartheid[sic]

    * Preferential treatment for Arabs in Israel: in Academia, employment, court cases, illegal settlement enforcement (Vs Jews) = ignore.

  4. Matzo balls, not apartheid walls!

    From Palestine to Mexico,
    the Apartheid Wall has got to go!

    Shabbat Shalom!

    1. Don’t forget the cherry Bakewells tomorrow Joey lad

      I’m counting on you

      😋

          1. I get the strongest sense Ken that Richard, you and I are the only ones that still post here under our own names, possibly even the only non-bot, non-WUM contributors.

            Remember the days when hostiles that came here had a bit of bottle? Now it’s all “I’m definitely Adolf Gasde-Juden” and “I am a rabbi, HONEST!!”

            Still, when your life’s work is the complete dismantling of the apparatus of Zionism and the eradication of the Jewish State, you’ve got to start somewhere, right?

  5. LOL Nazi Imam (JJ /Joe Juden / Johannes Juden) still using words in desperate attempt to pose as if “not” Muslim. And this Islamist pro-Hitler, Holocaust-trivializer was talking about “phobia.” What is hypocrisy?

    1. Fabian Wolff a German non Jew, who has often criticized the Jewish community in Germany and Israel has faked his Jewish identity. He “supports absolving Muslim antisemitism of blame and that’s in addition to being an enthusiastic supporter of boycott movements against Israel, such as BDS.”
      https://www.ynetnews.com/article/sjtvbduqn

    2. Islamist: “when the Muslims protest” and say x “equals Hitler, they say that not for themselves, but [because] they know that it has an impact on Western public opinion… W]e Muslims were fascinated by the Third Reich…”

  6. The HRW report in question (https://www.hrw.org/report/2023/07/18/trapped/how-male-guardianship-policies-restrict-womens-travel-and-mobility-middle) says that family courts in Israel can withdraw spousal maintenance from women, and that certain neighbourhoods promote gender segregation. Those claims are neither fake news nor antisemitic. I presume you meant to say ‘honest’ and ‘accurate’.
    The report also condemned Palestine’s misogynistic laws, in Gaza. But it wouldn’t have suited you to mention that, would it?

    1. An article on this report published by The Guardian was amended on 19 July 2023 to clarify that Human Rights Watch says it has included Israel in the report because “some” religious courts “can” have jurisdiction over marriage and divorce, and deprive women of spousal maintenance. (However these rulings are very often overturned in the civil courts…)

      A graphic published in the Guardian in which Israel was listed alongside 14 other countries “where women can face sanction if they leave the home without male guardian permission” lacked
      adequate context and was removed.”

      😜

  7. Anything HRW under racist Arab Onar Shakir, active to eliminate ALL of Israel since 2010…does not surprise me.

  8. Was the Nazi Imam referring to the ancient blood libel which today, is “alive” only in the sick racist Arab world?

  9. REAL Jews believe in justice, while Zionists believe in Just Us.

    Over to you David…

    1. Isn’t everone bored with Nazi-Imam [Jack T / JJ Johannes_Juden / Johannes] with his repetitive A slur?

  10. The enemies of Israel are just not very bright are they?

    🤪

    Ah well never mind

    😝

  11. While their Shin Bet minder engaged the services of a local prostitute at their hotel, I had an enjoyable time in the company of a fun-loving group of Israeli teenagers and their teacher at the Auschwitz tourist park.

    More to come!

  12. Yes, while munching on popcorn and candy floss, I met some young Jewish Palestinians visiting the Auschwitz tourist camp who said they were thrilled to escape their country for a few days and I took up their offer to play an informal game of football.

    All agreed they were sick of living in an apartheid country that is considered an international pariah.

    Their teacher told me that more and more state schools are waking up to the Zionist government’s propaganda and are not sending students on these expensive trips.

    Later we enjoyed a meal at a nearby BBQ restaurant. I hope their Shin Bet minder found what he was looking for! Lol 😉

    And by the way, did you know that candy floss isn’t really a thing in the apartheid state?

    Palestinian Jews rock!

    Over to you David…

  13. ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Like I said….

    The enemies of Israel are really not very bright

    🤪😜😝😂🙄🤪😝

    And everything they type on here only serves to reaffirm this….

      CAIRO , Monday (Palcor) . — The spirit of Hitler is fighting Zionism in Palestine , read a headline in today’s Al Asas [الأساس] which is close to Government circles, reporting the offer of a Syrian millionaire, M. Arida, to put Hitler’s yacht, which he now owns, at the disposal of the Palestine Rescue Army. The article summarized the decisions taken at the meetings of the heads of Arab Governments and explained that the yacht would be armed as the nucleus of the new Arab Fleet and used to defend Arab shores and prevent Zionist infiltration into Palestine.

    * Ad Difa’s I. Shanti who “had admiringly studied Nazi theory and practice. The paper was transparently pro-Nazi.”*

    * T. Wurst, the German consul in Jaffa: “Muslim Palestinians were deeply impressed by fascist particularly National Socialist, teachings and views.” (1936) *.

    * “Nazi flags and pictures of Hitler were prominently displayed in store windows. Booklets explaining Nazi methods of forcing Jews from the Reich were distributed freely… The shout of ‘Heil Hitler’ became a catchword which rang insolently over all Palestine.” (1936-8) *

    * Doehle, German consul in Jerusalem: “Arabs admire our Fuhrer.” (1937) *

    * Istiqlal’s Awni (Auni) Abd al-Hadi to Nazi magazine: ‘Arabs Like Nazis.’ (1937) *

    Not incidentally – Mufti’s crematoria plan was for 1942.* Later, in 1943, he toured the Trebbin concentration camp. *
    – Around that time, Himmler confides in the Mufti, among other things he tells him, they murdered [already] 3 Million Jews. * He later toured also Monowitz. * And for six months had urged the Nazis to bomb Tel Aviv. *
    – He repeatedly intervened against rescue of children who were about to be saved into Mandatory-Palestine * His Moslem SS unites. * One of highlighted phrases of this Islamic fascist broadcasts to incite the Muslim world was broadcast “Kill the Jews wherever you find them, this pleases (he said) Allah, history and religion.” *

    * 1945, before the Nuremberg trials, the ”Falastin”, in a leading article, defended Nazism. *

    * 1946, after the hanging of Nazi war criminals, the Arabic press were with praise for dead Nazis. *

    * 1946, “Arabs Like Hitler,” as was evident from Arab press too. They “gave great prominence to the text of Adolf Hitler’s last will and testament under big headlines quoting Hiter’s allegations that the Jews were (suppose) responsible for the war”, more than any other, the Islamic Ad Difaa. *

    ”The Palestine Post”, 18 October 1
    Jamal al Husseini (Nazi collaborator, Hitler fanTeveth, S. (1985). Ben-Gurion and the Palestinian Arabs: From Peace to War. Oxford University Press, [https://books.google.com/books?id=J3aEAAAAIAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%22Cousin%22 p. 156].

    …one of the more radical supporters of the Mufti’s violent tactics, Like the Mufti, he too saw Nazi Germany as a natural ally in the struggle against the Jews and did not conceal his admiration for Hitler.

    who had justified the [[Holocaust]] in 1946 with [[Ahmad Shukeiri]]”Behind the British Conspiracy.” B’nai B’rith Messenger. 12 July, 1946, [https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers/bbh/1946/07/12/01/article/47 p. 6].), in 1947 and in 1948 used the same racist arguments fir “racial homogeneity” – against UN’s ”Partition”.Herf, J. (2022). Israel’s Moment: International Support for and Opposition to Establishing the Jewish State, 1945–1949. United Kingdom: Cambridge University Press, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=8YlZEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA66 66], 236-[https://books.google.com/books?id=8YlZEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA239 9].

    Now, speaking for the Arab Higher Committee to a committee of the United Nations, he repeated word for word the same racist arguments he had delivered the previous January …
    Husseini then repeated, word for word, the implicitly racist argument he had expressed in London and which formed an emotional and political core of his rejection of a Jewish state in Palestine: This brings us to another consideration …
    Perhaps because the discourse about homogeneity and heterogeneity, uniformity and diversity, racism and antiracism was not ubiquitous then, as it would become in subsequent decades, this remarkable statement did not receive the attention it warranted. It made clear, however, that, as the journalists at The Nation and PM and liberal politicians such as Robert Wagner and Emanuel Celler had claimed, the rejection of the Zionist project by the Arab Higher Committee, the ex-Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and Jamal Husseini rested on the rejection of religious and racial diversity.

    Husseini made no secret of his support for racial homogeneity. Perhaps he was unaware of the racist nature of the arguments he was making. In any case, he presented his beliefs as principles to defend, not hatreds that were a source of shame or scorn. Despite his denials, the antisemitic nature of his argument was equally obvious. His speech revealed a wish for an Arab world that was self-enclosed, xenophobic, and intolerant of difference and thus, in a fundamental sense, antimodern and illiberal. His was a reactionary form of nationalism, one that, like its European predecessors, was inseparable from racism..

  16. Typical Nazi Imam (JJ, Johannes, Johannes_Juden) tactic: Using the Holocaust for anti-Jewish hate propaganda WITH glorifying Holocaust-denial–Islamic-fascist-Republic-of-Iran. In one vile post.

    Over to others.

  17. Just think if the world’s only Jewish state had existed 100 years ago then the Nazi holocaust wouldn’t have happened and six million Jewish lives would have been saved

    This clearly exposes the real thinking behind the enemies of Israel does it not ??

    Over to you Joey Jew-Dumb

    1. You’re talking nonsense Ken. The Nazis were like manna from heaven to you Zios. And besides, if the Nazis never existed, what would you call those who you disagree with? 🤔

      THE SOLUTION: Buy, read and study Greenstein’s book. You may learn something.

      Over to you David.

      1. Ken, remember a year or so back when the Comedy Cleric admitted to us that his mum wasn’t halachically Jewish? Imagine how his life would have turned out if she had been and all those early interactions with ‘Joos’ that made him so chippy hadn’t happened. He’d probably be living on a Kibbutz in the Galil now picking mangos and crying with joy like the rest of us when they play the tikva on Yom HaAtzmaut. Such a waste of a life, poor fella.

        1. Ian

          It’s certainly reassuring to note that the enemies of Israel do tend to be all cut from the same cloth in that they are basically as thick as pigsh1t 🐷

          I’m glad David let this one back in as I find it rather amusing to watch him fail so spectacularly

    The Canadian Jewish Chronicle, Apr 28, 1935

    Song Of “Love”.
    Arab radio receiving sets, mainly supplied gratuitously by the Palestine Administration and paid for cut of the budget surpluses created by Jewish endeavaur in Eretz Israel, have recently been tuned in on very strange programs.
    It appears that the Nazi propaganda media have been broadcasting continuity especially designed for Arab consumption, and we use the word consumption both in its economic and medical sense.  All of these delicious programs are definitely anti-British, designed to persuade the poor Arab into believing that England intends double-crossing him — of their own double-swastika they say not a word! —
    and that therefore he should turn to Hitler as the true friend of Islam. The climax of impertinence in the program comes when the anonymous voice behind the radio shouts: “The Third Reich is your true friend. Hitler loves you.” …

  19. The real truth of course is that the Nazis were the best friends that the Arabs ever had – or they would have been in they had won the war

    Al Husseini was best pals with Hitler and they were both very much on the same page when it came to the Jews

    But they lost the war and so the Middle East Jewish holocaust that Al Husseini had planned with Hitler never happened
