Why Charlie LOVES being Jewish

We activists get all kinds of stuff in the email. A writer who is based in the West Bank received this very special note from a Canadian named Charlie (probably not him in the picture, but let’s pretend that this lad is the idealised Charlie). He passed it along to me and I want to share it with the readers of PTT. I don’t think Charlie is alone, and here are his reasons to be cheerful…. for what it’s worth (typos in original) Try to imagine the gigantic letters, the bold face, because for the sake of legibility, I’m posting it just as an ordinary post, but it was technicolour and larger than life.
This is why I LOVE being JEWISH
JEWS HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER OFF!
It’s only TV and the media
That make people think
That the end of our world is coming.
Only 68! + years ago,
They were leading Jews to their death
Like sheep to the slaughter!
No Country, No Army. 60 years ago!
Seven Arab countries declared war
On the small Jewish State,
Only a few hours old!
We were then 650,000 Jews!
Against the rest of the Arab world!
No IDF [Israel Defense Force].
No mighty Air Force,
Just tough people
With nowhere to go.
Lebanon , Syria , Iraq , Jordan , Egypt , Libya , Saudi Arabia ,
attacked all at once.
The country the UN ‘gave us’
Was 65% desert.! ;
The country started from scratch!
41 years ago! We fought
The three strongest armies in the Middle East ,
And wiped them out in six days
We fought against
Different coalitions of Arab countries,
With modern armies,
And masses of Soviet Russian weapons,
And we still won!
We have to day
A country,
An army,
A strong Air Force,
A Hi-Tech Economy, exporting millions.
Intel - Microsoft - IBM develop their stuff here.
Our doctors win world prizes for medical developments.
We made the desert flourish,
Selling oranges and vegetables to the world.
Israel has sent its own satellite into Space!
Three satellites all together!
We sit proudly,
With the US , with 250 million people,
With Russia , with 200 million people,
With China , with 1.1 billion people,
With the Europeans — France, England , Germany , with
350 million people,
The only countries in the world
To shoot something into space!
Israel is today in the world nuclear power family
With the US , Ru ssia , China , India , France , and England .
[We don't admit it, but every one knows...]
To think that only 68+ years ago, ! ;
We were led,
Shameful,
With no hope,
To our death!
We crawled out of the burning ashes of Europe ,
We won our wars here with less than nothing
We built an ‘empire’ out of nothing.
We celebrate Passover
Let us not forget what the story is all about.
We overcame Pharaoh,
We overcame the Greeks,
We overcame the Romans,
We overcame the Inquisition in Spain ,
We overcame the Pogroms in Russia ,
We overcame Hitler,
We overcame the Germans,
We overcame the Holocaust,
We overcame the armies of the seven Arab countries,
We overcame Saddam.
Take it easy, folks,
We will overcome
The present enemies too.
No matter which part of human history you try!
Think of it,
For us,
The Jewish people,
Our situation has never been better!
So,
Let’s Lift our Heads High,
Let’s Remember:
Any nation or culture
That tried to mess around with us
Was destroyed — while we kept going!
Egypt ?
Anyone know where their empire disappeared to?
Greeks?
Alexander of Macedonia ?
The Romans?
Does anyone today speak Latin?
The Third Reich?
Anyone heard any news about it lately?
And look at us,
The Nation from the Bible,
From Slavery in Egypt ,
We are still here,
Speaking the same language!
Right here, right no w.
The Arabs don’t know it yet,
But, they will learn that there is one God.
As long as we keep our identity,
We are eternal.
So, sorry for not worrying,
Not bitching,
Not crying,
Not being scared.
Things are O.K. here.
They surely can be better,
But still:
They won’t tell you
That there are festivals going on,
That people keep on living,
That people are going out,
That people are seeing friends.
Yes, our morale is low,
So what?
It is only because we weep for our dead ! ;
While they enjoy the blood.
This is the same reason why,
We will win, after all.

What Charlie forgets, is that absolute power corrupts.That Allah/G-d (as Charlie would understand) has his own way for dealing with countries that get to big for their boots.All mighty empires/corrupt governments fall eventually.And “Charlie” if you ever read this…think about it…….why did G-d create the diaspora in the first place????Then, if you can answer that one think about this.Will G-D be happy about the Jews allowing a Gay parade in Jerusalem, a Holy city for the three major Abrahamic religions?Will G-d be happy with the using of Jewish girls in an advertising Campaign,that one can only think about as blatant prostitution,to attract young men to Israel for Vacations??????Will G-d be happy about the closing down of many charities that helped and cared for orphans. Read your Talmud again Charlie, the jews were only G-ds chosen people IF they Followed his commandments, the murder of women and children is a big no no in the Talmud Charlie.One last piece of advice Charlie, “Pride comes before a fall”.
The interesting thing is: a guy can write this self-loving thing and it’s not considered supremacist. If instead of the word Jewish, we substitute White, it comes off as White Power and White Supremacism. It would be considered Radical Islamicist if instead of Jewish the word was “Muslim”.
People in the world let Jewish people say these things without challenging the racism and supremacism of it all because they are terrified that they will sound racist by saying that! This is the situation as it is.
Not surprising that he grew up in the only world religion based on racial superiority.
I have often heard the pride that Jews felt for never giving up on the “reconquest” of “their” land no matter how long it took (thousands of years by their account).
Do they not feel that the Palestinians will have the same tenacity to regain the territory that was stolen from them (regardless of the fact that the UN gave away land that was not theirs to give)?
Well - Charlie has every right to be proud of the current power Jewish Lobby and Russian Jewish crime-lords hold over the US and most of European countries - which, almost each has the history of expelling Jewish communities from their lands for corrupting Christian societies.
Now, the wheel has turned the other way. Now, it’s the western Christian majority who is at the mercy of Jewish communities - economically and politically. It seems the Talmud has become the Constitution of many western countries - and Muslims have become the “Jews of Europe’s Dark Age”.
