| …Also in the news last week and today were two related stories. On 24 December, YNETnews.com reported that in Jordan the government had banned a textbook used in a private school containing chapters on the Holocaust and the life and death of Anna Frank. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education in Amman, Dr. Khalid Karaki, not only ordered the book removed from classrooms but established a commission of inquiry to discover how such a thing could happen. Even earlier in the week, Hamas in Gaza condemned a UNRWA school field trip to the United States which would have included a visit to the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.
And yours truly asks the question, “What could be so offensive about the truth?” One of the failures of Israeli PR – because secular Israelis are still chained to the false dream of peace with the Muslims, so let us not be not nice to them – is the failure to tell the world that it is grievously in error to think that Holocaust Denial is the exclusive property of obvious nutjobs like Ahamadina-nutjob in Iran. Not at all. Holocaust Denial is the norm all across Islam and especially the Arab Middle East. And in this monolithic, dictatorial culture, sympathy for the Jews is just out of the question. They are figures of evil not to be pitied. No.1, and No.2 validating the reality of the Holocaust provides justification for the existence of the State of Israel, which cannot be. Islam the religion cannot tolerate that idea. Think of the West and its development over 2,000 years of Christian civilization with all of its achievements. Still, until 1965, my lifetime, Catholic doctrine judged every Jew a Christ-killer. Every Jew was guilty of the murder of Jesus of Nazareth. Talk about your blood libel. That is blood libel at its fullest. Jews are guilty because their blood is guilty. They are born guilty of murder. That sin is transmissible by blood. That was Roman Catholicism until after the Holocaust when that mensch of a pope, Pope John the 23rd, knew how so many Nazis had been baptized in his church and he felt guilty. Hence, the Vatican II conference and its result, the encyclical Nostra Aetate which held that the Jews were the actual Christ-killers at the time, but no more would Jews share in their ancestors’ guilt. And that was the sophisticated Christian culture of Europe until 1965, which began with Jewish, Greek and Roman cultures under its belt. Now consider Islam, which was founded six centuries after Christendom and founded not among the descendants of Jews, Greeks and Romans but illiterates, desert brigands. These Arabs with their stolen perversion of Jewishness; these Hamites still mired antediluvian brutality have a long, long way to go… |
