No matter what "the Jews" do, they are always in the wrong. Even the attack on young people dancing at a music festival, killing 378 individuals, 344 who were civilians and 34 security personnel, according to The Times of Israel, wasn't enough to gain the sympathy of the haters.
Then there was the kidnapping of 251 individuals, 221 of whom were civilians including foreign nationals, 24 soldiers, and Negev Bedouins.
The breakdown of the captives: 92 women and 36 children were among the hostages, including 9-month-old Kfir Bibas and his 4-year-old brother Ariel along with their mother, Shiri. There was another baby under a year old but the exact identity is not revealed.
Several elderly people were also kidnapped but the exact numbers vary.
But somehow it was the fault of the Jews, the so called 'occupiers' of a land they occupied before the geo-political religion of Islam was invented by a man who terrorized the Middle East, committed pedophilia, and hated the Jews.
Israel has been accused of genocide by the same dolts and propagandists who either hide the truth or refuse to see it. In the year Israel gained its independence, 1948, the non-Jewish population (mostly Arab Muslims, Arab Christians and Druze) was 156,000, By 1970, this population nearly tripled and by 1970 had climbed to 1,413,900. By 2015 it reached 2,078,000 and last year hit 2,653,000. If that's genocide, then we need to change the definition.
On the other hand, when you look at the countries in the Middle East, there are no Jews in most of them and so few in others you can get them all on a bus and head them out to Israel for relative safety.
Meanwhile, there are terrorist atrocities going on in the world like the ones perpetrated by Hamas against Israel and not one large US protest, to my knowledge, has taken place.
Just last month, on April 22nd, there was a jihadi attack at Pahalgam in the Jammu-Kashmir district in which 25 people were murdered and 20 injured. Most of the victims were tourists, one was Christian the others Hindu. There were no cries or demands for retribution at Columbia, Harvard or at any campus or street corner. Crickets.
In Nigeria during Easter, over 72 Christians were slaughtered by Muslims during a church service and earlier that month, over 60 Christians were murdered in the Plateau State. Again, nobody said 'boo.'
And we all know about the Syrian Civil War that began in 2011 that nobody at home here protested in spite of the fact that between 580,000 to 656,493 people were killed, as per the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). The groups we know that were responsible was ISIS, al-Qaeda affiliates such as Jabhat al Nusra and Hayat Tahrir al Sham.
Still the silence was deafening.
But boy oh boy, when Israel returns fire at missile launch sites that are embedded in civilian areas, and Hamas' human shields are killed or injured, it's the fault of the Jews.
What are they supposed to do when fired upon? After all, they even warn civilians when the IAF plans to strike a building in Gaza, which probably gave the terrorists time to move hostages.
People feel sympathy for dead Jews and hatred for the living ones.
Jews are hated when they're poor; they're hated when they're rich. They are hated when they have no place to go--"those wandering Jews"--and they're hated when they have their Biblical land returned to them.
And the biggest haters of them all are the extremist Muslims. They will come for the Jews now and come for everyone else later if we sit back and watch.
