DAVID AND GOLIATH: Why Israel, always defending against genocidal attacks, is portrayed as the aggressor
In Germany, the crowds were feverishly chanting "Jew, coward pig, come out and fight alone" and "Jews to the gas" and other vile, murderous incitements.
But this was not Kristallnacht ("the night of broken glass"), the notorious 1938 mass attacks on Jews that foreshadowed the Holocaust. It is today's Germany—which, like much of Europe and the rest of the world, is currently experiencing a huge and fiery resurgence of raw Jew-hatred.
"When calls for Jews to be gassed, burned and murdered are bawled on the streets of Germany, that no longer has anything to do with IsraelÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´ÌàÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«ÌÎÌÊs politics and Gaza," said Dieter Graumann, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany. "It is the most abhorrent form of anti-Semitism."
Indeed, as revealed in the September issue of Whistleblower magazine, the current explosion of hatred of Jews is the outcrop of something much deeper and more consequential than just public reaction to Israel's war with Hamas.
Titled "DAVID AND GOLIATH: Why Israel, always defending against genocidal attacks, is portrayed as the aggressor," Whistleblower documents the stunning emergence of virulent anti-Semitism:
- In France, eight synagogues and a kosher supermarket were attacked, and a mob of about 400, chanting "Death to Jews" and "Slit Jews' throats," firebombed a synagogue in a Paris suburb.
- The Jewish owners of dozens of shops in Rome have found swastikas and anti-Jewish slogans scrawled on shutters and windows, including "Jews, your end is near."
- In Manchester, England, occupants in a group of cars shouted "Heil Hitler" and swore at Jewish pedestrians.
- In Belgium, a cafÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«ÌÎÌÊ_ refused to serve a Jewish woman, posting a sign with the message, "Dogs welcome, Jews not." Similar scenes are playing out all across Europe.
- In Australia, police arrested five people after a group of Jewish schoolchildren were abused and threatened by eight drunken men. "They were screaming ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«Heil Hitler,ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´ÌàÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«ÌÎÌÊ ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«Kill the Jews,ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´ÌàÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«ÌÎÌÊ ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«Palestine must kill you Jews,ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´ÌàÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«ÌÎÌÊ ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«We are going to cut your throats and slice your throats open,'" said one eyewitness.
- In NATO-member Turkey, Prime Minister Recep Erdogan outright compared Israel to Hitler.
- And the U.N. "Human Rights Council" recently named a three-member international commission to investigate Israel's supposed "war crimes" during Operation Protective Edge—chaired by a notoriously anti-Israel academic who has repeatedly demanded the International Criminal Court prosecute Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a war criminal.
- Even in the United States, anti-Semitism is emergent: A rabbi in North Miami Beach, wearing the traditional Orthodox black hat and long coat, was gunned down on his way to temple. In Brooklyn, a 24-year-old Jewish man was punched in the face and knocked to the sidewalk by three teenagers, while the next day, a 9-year-old Jewish boy was riding his bike when three male teenagers hit him in the back of the head. In Boston, pro-Israel supporters had to be rescued from an angry crowd shouting "Jews back to Birkenau" and "Drop dead, you Zionazi whores." Similar examples throughout the U.S. abound.
So what is really behind this worldwide outbreak of anti-Semitism?
As "DAVID AND GOLIATH" documents, there's more at play here than just the Gaza war with its dead civilians, more than biased media coverage, more than Muslim immigration into Western societies.
"Like Ebola, the world is witnessing a resurgent epidemic of the primordial 'virus' of anti-Semitism," says Whistleblower Editor David Kupelian. "A bizarre moral inversion is gripping much of the world—it is a global, even metaphysical, phenomenon—and Whistleblower reveals it all in this very hard-hitting and thought-provoking issue."
