Sami Jamil Jadallah – What is wrong with Israeli “Jews”? A whole lot!

For a number of years I was an avid participant on “talkback” of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. I quit the forum a couple of years back because I find the majority of the participants; rude, racist, obnoxious, arrogant, contemptuous, vicious, conceited, hypocrites, condescending, inhuman, liars, vengeful, hateful and of course with lots of Chutzpah, they are “Jews” by name only and Zionists by ideology and faith. I guess in so many ways these descriptions define the nature, behavior, ideology, morality and faith of Israeli “Jews” with some important exceptions. Seriously the people and the country are suffering serious mental problems, and are quite sick in so many ways. Perhaps this explains why most leading psychoanalysts are Jewish. Yes, I may be accused of being “Anti-Semitic” but I don’t give a damn, TOZ.
Of course it all started out with the lies that “Palestine was a land without people for people without land”. There is a double lie in this infamous statement. As if Palestinians, the indigenous people of the land for thousands of years, did and do not exist and as if the “Jews” from all over the world constitute “people” in the sense that Germans, Russians, French, Egyptians, Indonesians are one people. The Zionists were able to market the idea because the Christian West was simply too racist and too Anti-Semitic to have too many “Jews” and wanted the “Jews” simply out of Europe. That is why it started out with the Russian Pogroms and ended in the German Holocaust. I think the support Israel gets from Europe and the West is an extension and continuation of this Anti-Semitic feeling that never ceased to exist. Of course with such a tragic history, one can understand why the “Jews” of Israel are really messed up people.
More troublesome is the belief and conviction they are God's “Chosen People” as if the rest of humanity is God’s trash, and if this is the case, then I wonder why there are some 1.3 Billion Muslims and some 1.7 Billion Christians who simply stuck to their faith knowing they are not God’s “Chosen People”, but God’s trash. I could not imagine what the rest of humanity thinks of all of this if all are deemed “trash” and outcast and not covered with God’s grace. With the likes of Shamir, Begin, Ben Gurion, Golda Meir, Peres, Barak, Livni, Olmert, Sharon, Netanyahu, Lieberman, Sheetrit, Aharonovich, Jabotinsky, Ashkenazi, Rabbi Kahane, Rabbi Goldstein and Rabbi Ovadia Josef, one has to question God’s judgment if HE/SHE ever thought that one day this kind of people can claim they are the “Chosen Ones” and who at best can only be described as racist, hateful, criminal killers, murderers, terrorists and land thieves, and they will commit the crimes they committed in Palestine and recently in Gaza all in HIS/HER name.
I am not aware that the ALL Mighty was desperate to have his human creation believe in HIS/HER “Oneness”, but to have the likes of these people as HIS/HER Chosen Ones is a desperate, hasty and regretful act with long historical consequences that we see today in the Apartheid Wall, in the ever expanding Jewish Settlements, in the siege and starvation of Gaza, in the daily humiliations of millions of people at some 650 “security checkpoints” and in the daily theft of land and water. I am sure God and Moses regrets such hasty decision and promise, and I am sure God and Moses never imagined the “Chosen Ones” would turn away from Judaism and embrace Zionism as the true faith of Israeli Jews and most Jews around the world. They simply believe they have to kill whoever is living on the land, they believe in exiling and transferring those remaining on the land, depriving them of their rights to life, liberty and property. I guess Zionism and the unsubstantiated notion of the Promised Land transformed “Jews” from the believers of the Book to land thieves and murderers. They went even further calling the land thieves, trespassers and terrorists, Gush Emunim, the “Block of Faithful”, what Chutzpah. Only Israel's Zionist “Jews” can do this.
However this is only part of the story. They also believe that when one tells lies and keeps repeating the lies they will become the truth, especially when the cowardly West does not dare to challenge their truth. The world and especially the West does not have what it takes to challenge Israeli “Jews” on the notion of “natural growth in Jewish Settlements” let alone have they the courage to challenge them on their daily crimes in Occupied Palestine and especially Gaza, their continued violations of international laws and their Occupation.
That is why their soldiers commit cold blooded murder; use human shields, kill innocent people, commit massacres and Israelis see nothing wrong with it. They simply adore some one like Rabbi Meir Kahane, they worship Rabbi Goldstein who mowed down Muslim worships in Hebron, they adore their own army that fires tank rounds at children playing on the beach, target civilian apartments, destroy farms and uproot century-old Olive trees for the hell of it. They simply stand up and cheered as their tanks, jets, artillery level Gaza, killing so many innocent women and children and simply destroying the entire Gaza Strip. It looked like the 4th of July and they were cheering as the jets dropped phosphorous bombs on civilian targets. They cheered the power of their destructive force and they simply have no remorse for what they have done to so many hundreds of thousands of people. They are taught in their Yeshivas, killing Arabs is simply an act of divine order and is part of the new Zionist’s faith.
They try to create facts on the ground, through land and water theft, and they claim they are building a “security wall” rather than an “Apartheid Wall” knowing well they are simply stealing the land, the water, destroying farms simply because they see nothing wrong with it and then they tell the world it is for “security” as if only the Israeli Jews are entitled to have peace and security and the Palestinians are simply God’s trash. If they are talking security then let them build their own wall a mile high along the 67 borders and no one will give a damn. Let them live in the Ghetto they have formed around themselves.
The daily humiliations, millions of Palestinians had to endure should tell all of us something about this new Israeli “Jewish” psyche as part of a grand scheme to dehumanize the Palestinians just like the Nazis did when they commenced to dehumanize the Jews and ended up putting them in death camps. Palestinians have to wait for hours simply to go from one village to an adjacent village or to access their farms, and Israelis do this to supplement their land theft, ethnic cleansing of Arabs from Jerusalem, destruction and demolition of thousands of homes, with 6,000 Palestinian homes slated for demolition in Jerusalem. The Israelis simply do not see anything wrong with their occupation; they see nothing wrong with what they and their army and government are doing to the Palestinians. Israelis and their cousins in the US have some serious issues.
Soldiers manning these security checkpoints make a young man from Nablus play the fiddle so they can have a laugh while hundreds of old, men and women - some very sick - have to wait for hours just to go through security, in scenes reminding us of old Cowboy movies when cattle had to go through revolving metal doors. Some soldiers bored with their job stay talking with their boyfriends or girlfriends or simply entertain themselves while hundreds if not thousands wait in the hot sun or cold rain - waiting their turn to go through. And Bibi Netanyahu offers Palestinians “economic peace” so his “Jewish” people can make load of money selling Israeli products – as if buying an Israeli product is a substitute for freedom and liberty. Some Arab villages do not have drinking water so that adjacent Jewish settlements can have swimming pools and green gardens. These land thieves do not think there is something wrong, of course they never cared because they simply believe Arabs are God’s trash.
I am sure so many of us who traveled to or live in Palestine have stories to tell. I am sure visiting Europeans feel this unique Israeli behavior as they arrive at Tel-Aviv airport, certainly they feel it more as they depart Israel.
Having said all of this in favor of Israeli Jews, I have to say there some very noble and honorable exceptions. There is the Peace Now movement, there is the Machsom Watch, there is the Women in Black, there are the demonstrations against the war on Gaza, there are the editorials in such papers as Haaretz, there are the novelists, the writers the journalists, the philanthropists and the tens of thousands of Israel Jews who are against the continued Jewish Occupation, and who reach out and extend their hands in peace, toward follow man and fellow neighbors the Palestinians. There are the brave soldiers who refuse to serve in the Occupied Territories and who have the courage to speak out and challenge their commanders and their lies especially during the War on Gaza. There are my personal friends who I have the honor and privilege to call my friends and brothers. That is why there is hope that one day the Israeli “Jews” and beyond them the American Jews will reclaim their faith again, and become true Jews and embrace Judaism as God meant it to be, a light onto other nations.
Note: I will devote my next posting to the Palestinians, and I have a whole lot to say.

Yes, of course. God has regretted choosing the Jews. He has tossed the Jews in the trash and sent new prophets, Jesus and Muhammed, to spread his truth. The Jews just don't understand that God has changed his mind, discarded Israel and chosen the followers of Jesus and Muhammed instead. When will they learn?
God doesnt do misstakes nor does he regret anything, he is the allmighty, not a human with human emotions. Subhan Allah. He gives humans a chance to do as they please right or wrong and he tests people with good and bad. When people plot, Allah swt also plot, Sometimes something which appears to be bad turns out to be good. The future will tell.
Also, i dont think that a israeli soldier that testity about the horror he did or saw deserves a medal, most likely this same person considers that the creation of israel to be completly legitimate as if it wasent created on the Palestinians land at the cost of the Palestinian people, otherwise why is participating in the zionist project? As for the israeli peace movements, i wonder, do they support the right of return of Palestinians to their lands or safeguarding the Arab/Palestinian identity of the parts of Palestine (78 % of palestine) that were occupied in 1948? This conflict is not only about the checkpoints and the opression, it is also about the fact that Palestinians are deprived from living in their land with their own identity. It is not only about peace, it is also about justice. A jew that wants peace must also recognize that Palestine was taken from the natives in order to build a home for people from all over the world that share no ethnic bound, this jew must recognize that this was wrong, not just say that it is wrong for the israeli army to kill and opress which is self-evident. This is how i see it, i have looked at this conflict from many angles but i always reach the same conclusion. Regardless of the murder, opression, house demolitions, checkpoints, suicide bombings, fateh, hamas or whatever, the root of this conflict remains the same, Palestine was stolen from the Palestinian natives in order to build a new identity and state for people from all over the world that already had a identity and belonged to a state, even though their religious belonging was a minority in their native countries, they still belonged there just like arab christians belong in the arab world despite them being minority, that doesnt change who they are.

The problem is also the Palestinian Trio of Arafat, Abbas and Qurai in Oslo gave full recongntion to Israel with its elastic borders, its ever expanding settlements, and Jerusalem as off limit to Palestinians. These are the facts that the leadership in Ramallah simply lies about and refuse to admit. Of course the Palestinian leadership were the winners… they got full recongition for their role in the sell out of Palestine and the refugees.. Do not believe the non sense talks coming out of Ramallah, As for Israeli Jews and beyond them, very few admit the facts that they stole the land.. in fact they are denying the Nakba ever took place. Frankly speaking I think the two state solution is dead on arrival and the only way forward is a one state solution. However this proposal will put the leadership in Ramallah and Gaza out of business. So many crimes are committed in the name of All Mighty. Peace.
Israel has shown the world they value Jewish life above all else. This is not a religion that the world can respect. Sad for them that they cannot see they are destroying their image. As soon as they can forgot their superiority complex, they might be able to return to the normal life and balance in the world.
well, sami, you quit haretz talkback; i, on the other hand, had been stopped from posting in haaretz.. 'Jews' just cldn't stand the truth. Yes, most of 'jewish' posters were, as you say, extremely angry/hateful/irrational.
most of them can handle lies much better than the truth.
it is their supremacistic jewishness and choseness that causes them to go balistic over many truths. tnx
Not so sure if Arabs, Europeans, Americans or even Jews under the Israeli Jewish/Zionist’s mind. They are simply in a world of their own, not caring for any thing in the world if it is not Israeli and Jewish. They live in Ghetto of self making not only physical but mental and psychic as well. If they really interested in peace they would have voted for a leadership that can make the right decision. Every one including the Israeli Jews know that peace is a two state solution based on 67 borders with shares Jerusalem and a solution to the refugees? However they steal the land, the water, and exile people, destroy homes and farms, kill and murder at will and they want peace? I am sure G-d is wondering where the All Mighty went wrong. They sure need mental health care very badly. One can see this from the behavior of soldiers and leaders during the War on Gaza. They simply have no respect for any other human being, certainly not Palestinians. They have contempt for the world and its people. I wonder if the Germans had the same frame of mind during Hitler years.
@Sami Jamil Jadallah – the nazis were kinder then the jewish communist bullshitvix takeover of Russia,1918s/1920s who didnt bother with camps, but simply shot 40 million white christians in the back of the neck on the spot. Camps made the proces too slow. Interesting the jews tried to take over the world's largest country. Thats one step away from controlling the world?
From reading history and political science books while in college, I knew that Russian Jews, though a small minority, not exceeding 5% of the population played a major role in the Bolshevik Revolution and the subsequent murder of the Czar and his family and millions of Russians. Doing some more research on the topic I came across this interesting website “Institute for Historical Review” http://www.ihr.org and I quote”
“The Jewish Role in the Bolshevik Revolution
and Russia's Early Soviet Regime
Assessing the Grim Legacy of Soviet Communism
by Mark Weber
How did the Bolsheviks, a small movement guided by the teachings of German-Jewish social philosopher Karl Marx, succeed in taking control of Russia and imposing a cruel and despotic regime on its people…?
Although officially Jews have never made up more than five percent of the country's total population, 5 they played a highly disproportionate and probably decisive role in the infant Bolshevik regime, effectively dominating the Soviet government during its early years. Soviet historians, along with most of their colleagues in the West, for decades preferred to ignore this subject. The facts, though, cannot be denied.
With the notable exception of Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov), most of the leading Communists who took control of Russia in 1917-20 were Jews. Leon Trotsky (Lev Bronstein) headed the Red Army and, for a time, was chief of Soviet foreign affairs. Yakov Sverdlov (Solomon) was both the Bolshevik party's executive secretary and — as chairman of the Central Executive Committee — head of the Soviet government. Grigori Zinoviev (Radomyslsky) headed the Communist International (Comintern), the central agency for spreading revolution in foreign countries. Other prominent Jews included press commissar Karl Radek (Sobelsohn), foreign affairs commissar Maxim Litvinov (Wallach), Lev Kamenev (Rosenfeld) and Moisei Uritsky.6
Lenin himself was of mostly Russian and Kalmuck ancestry, but he was also one-quarter Jewish. His maternal grandfather, Israel (Alexander) Blank, was a Ukrainian Jew who was later baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church.” From IHR.
I hope that the American Jewish Community learn from this sad and tragic lesson and does not follow the same road as the Jewish Bolsheviks. However descendants of these Russian Bolsheviks seem bent on crying our similar crimes against the Palestinians.
Sami, I found your article just right! If God ever chose people then I don't need to pray! I would not fit the category of these sham creation of so-called god with a small 'g' as I only believe that God would have created Human Beings of all creeds, races, colour, size, religion, social values…If we are supposed to be living in the world of 'chosen people' by the God generally believed in this world or prayed to by people who are part of a religion, recognised or not, as I don't really care! Atheists are also in my opinion, creations of God, and so be it! Jews are not 'chosen' just as people living in Timbuktu are! They are nearer God than these pretenders! My conclusive remark is 'Oh God, Stop the world as I want to get off!' if these misled people keep on treating my fellow human beings with such excuses!!!
@haris – The Jews are God's chosen people? HAH!
And WHO wrote the book that says that?
Is it really worth for peace and the sake of the Palestinian people to demonize Israel and Jews, as you critics of Israel are the whole time doing in this so called "thinktank", without any possibility of objection or correction from the opposite side? I don't believe so. Try a peacefuller way, Israel and Jews will maybe turn then into your "angels of salvation".
No need for Palestinians or any one else to demonize Israel and Zionist Jews, they are doing an excellent job all by themselves. They became a people and a nation of land thieves and war criminals. They forced exile some 700,000 Palestinians uprooting them from their homes and farms at gun point, they destroyed their villages, they killed in mosques, and they murdered them and throw the bodies in water well. They commit terrorist acts killing British, Jew and Arabs. They uprooted some 500,000 century old Olive trees, they poison water well, they set up security checkpoints simply to humiliate people and abuse them, and they elect racist Jews committed to pure Jewish state so similar to Germans and their Nazi state. They wage war on innocent people using all kind of illegal weapons, they bomb hospitals and schools and orphanage centers, they use human as body shield, they kill and destroy simply for the hell of it, they drop over 1 million cluster bombs making sure kids and families die and get killed long after their wars are over. They target UN facilities knowing well civilians are hiding in them seeking protection. They jail 25 %of the Palestinian populations, the ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their homes in Jerusalem, they build an Apartheid Wall not for safety and security but to as a way to steal land and water resources, they run the largest human trafficking organization in the world. Who needs to demonize Israeli Zionist Jews when they are doing all these things on their own? Perhaps it is time for the Real Jews to stand up and be counted and say enough is enough, that Zionism is not Judaism that Israel acts and behaviors are not Jewish values and traditions. Perhaps it is time to stop funding land and house thefts, and yes, perhaps it time to admit that Israel was created on stolen land and that an apology is in order. It is the Real Jews who has to stand up for what is right. All of us want peace and want to live like human beings, but it is Israel and beyond it the world Jewish community that has to decide on which side of humanity they stand on.
Mister Sami, the Palestinian reality speaks another language. Can you confirm me that the Palestinian children are being taught to hate Jews and to blow up themselves to kill so many Israelis as possible? Can you confirm me that the main Palestinian political parties were and are still involved in terror activities and that to date they didn't openly and clearly recognize the right to exist to Israel? Do you truly believe, Mr. Sami, that the way of resistance through terror (that means also the killing of Israeli civilians) the Palestinian were and are still going without break in continuity is the best one to achieve their supposed and declared goal, a viable Palestinian state in peaceful coexistence with Israel?
I can understand your despair about the situation of your people, and many Israeli and Jews do too. But the false and hostile policies of the different Palestinian authorities during decades, the absence of a sincere and acceptable peace offering and, above all, the continuous threat to their very existence through terrorism and war made Israelis not anymore confident about the true intentions of the Palestinians. You must understand that only serious and responsible peace talks, not more violence and hate, can bring you further. But where is the will of peace by your Palestinian brothers?
Is Hamas ready to give up, in order to achieve peace, its declared goal to destroy Israel? No, better die as martyr. Is Fatah ready to sit down around a table together with Israeli Jews, in order to achieve peace and a viable Palestinian state? No, better "resistance by all means" (said Abbas today). Is there a peace partner on Palestinian side that can take responsability for its own people? For the sake of its people? And let me ask you at the end, Mr. Sami, where are those real Palestinians who can and want stand up for what is right? Palestinians who can stand up for right honest Palestinian government and policy – for their own people's sake, the sake of Israeli Jews and the sake of the whole Middle East?
