Any criticism of Israel whenever it indulges in activities which may be termed as ‘terrorist’, is attacked with the inundation that it is ‘Anti Semitic’
Read the following story from Der Spiegel.
Germany collaborated with Israel for building a Submarine for carrying Nuclear Missile .
The investigative reporter who did that article is immediately snubbed as Anti Semitic .
“Given the rising trends of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel resentments in German society, it’s probably helpful to focus on the effects of this new quality and tone of Israel criticism in the public discourse. Even Günter Grass may wholeheartedly believe it’s his life’s last mission to communicate Israel’s danger to the world out of love and friendship for the Jewish people and their state. The effect of this trend on media consumers, however, is more important than the motives of more or less relevant individual authors.“
“Last June’s cover story in SPIEGEL on the German-Israeli submarine deal is an example: ‘Should Germany, the country of the perpetrators, be allowed to assist Israel, the land of the victims, in the development of a nuclear weapons arsenal capable of extinguishing hundreds of thousands of human lives?’ … ‘Should Germany, as its historic obligation stemming from the crimes of the Nazis, assume a responsibility that has become ‘part of Germany’s reason of state?” The subtext is clear: 1. Israel plans to wipe out the Iranian people and thus is equal to the Third Reich. 2. Germany is pressured into this because of the Holocaust.”
“The systematic and subtle manipulation of this sort in reports about Israel — whether skillfully staged or unintentional, to a large extent explains why, according to a study on anti-Semitism in German society recently commissioned by the Bundestag (the federal parliament), almost 40 percent of Germans claim that ‘Jews try to take an advantage out of the Third Reich History;’ why 44 percent say they ‘understand that one dislikes Jews, when looking at Israel’s policies.'”
The point in italics is 100 % true.
Israel seems to believe that their sufferings entitle them to indulge in the crimes they have accused of others!
To avenge the sufferings, as it were, the Israelis have a made People with out motherland(Palestinians) , who(Arabs) were the people throughout the History of the persecution of the Jews were the most tolerant in comparison.
The common belief that the Jews are/were Lily white is erroneous.
If they were why is it they were singled out by nearly all the cultures?
Referring to Mythologies might soothe their conscience.
Gaza is a place out of the end of times,” Augstein writes in one of the lines quoted by the Wiesenthal Center. “1.7 million people live there on 360 square kilometers. Israel incubates its own opponents there.” Other lines chosen to illustrate the journalist’s alleged anti-Semitism state that US presidents “must secure the support of Jewish lobby groups” and that “the Netanyahu government keeps the world on a leash with an ever-swelling war chant.” Augstein writes that “Jews also have their fundamentalists, the ultra-orthodox Hareidim,” who are “cut from the same cloth as their Islamic fundamentalist opponents.” And he calls “the US Republicans and the Israeli government” insane and unscrupulous.
Perhaps predictably, the inclusion of Augstein, son of SPIEGEL’s founding editor in chief Rudolf Augstein, on the list has launched yet another national debate in Germany about the contours of anti-Semitism and how far one can go when criticizing Israel before being labelled a racist.Germany’s history, after all, has long informed the country’s deep official support of Israel, but its center-left majority displays an almost reflexive affinity for the Palestinians.(Der Spiegel)
