Western leaders are getting Jews killed

[Richard D]

Powerful politicians across the West are "fighting"
antisemitism with one hand, while feeding it with the other. Sadly,
they don't seem to understand the link, and it is now costing lives.

Western leaders’ anti-Israel rhetoric is having foreseeable ugly consequences.It is not a coincidence that the murder of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington, D.C. follows an escalation in anti-Israel rhetoric from world leaders.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar rightly said the murders were a direct consequence of rising global antisemitism and anti-Israel incitement, and called out world leaders for spreading “modern blood libels.”Britain, France, Canada, Australia and other countries have dialed up the rhetoric and again repeated Palestinian lies about Israel’s war against the genocidal terror group Hamas in Gaza.

These countries’ leaders now have blood on their hands and all over their bodies.U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee gets it. He accused Britain and France of “hypocrisy” and said he was “outraged” by their recent rhetoric and actions against Israel. The two countries “need to go back and remember their history,” he said, referencing how Britain, France, and their allies won the Second World War. They “bombed the heck out of Germany, and that’s what ended the war, it was a decisive victory.

”This is not the first time violence has followed Western countries’ anti-Israel actions. The firebombing of a Melbourne synagogue in November came immediately after Australia betrayed Israel by clandestinely changing its policy and voting at the United Nations to recognize Palestinian sovereignty in Judea and Samaria (also known as the West Bank).

3. I'd call that . . .

. . . an ad hominem. Huckabee is correct here.

2. I may be wrong , but, if Netanyahu had not reacted as harshly against Gaza as he did.

If his response had looked more proportional a lot of this would not happen. In my view.

4. You may be wrong indeed.

This idea of a proportional response is so absurd to me. I mean, what would that look like? Counting the dead Israelis and making sure that the same number of Gazans were killed? Same for beheaded, tortured, raped, kidnapped? A direct one-to-one counting? Some people seem to think that is proportional.

Let us not forget that it was not Israel that started this war. They never have, by the way. Let us not forget that those who started it promised to repeat is over and over, until all Israelis were killed. Perhaps a lot of "innocent" lives and the lives of children could have been saved in Germany and Japan had the allied forces just been proportional and were forced into "peace agreements" that let the Nazis continue to rule? I wouldn't be here if so, and all the rest of the living would be wearing swastikas on their arms.

6. I guess a people who had been so unjustly treated over the centuries just needed to get some back.

They treated the Gazans so badly over the years but could not see how the resentment would build up to create such an act. And there they are. When the Gazans hit back all hell broke loose.
Human nature.

7. So, Jews, the world over, should expect retribution for the actions of Israel?

Think VERY carefully before responding to this post and remember:

YOU ARE IN THE JEWISH GROUP!

9. Absolutely not. Never ever. I don't believe the whole ethnicity/religion is at fault for a persons faults.

10. The doesn't square with the title of the post to which I responded.

You wrote: "I guess a people who had been so unjustly treated over the centuries just needed to get some back."

That does not refer to Israelis.

11. Im not articulating my thoughts well at all. So i think i need to bow out before i make things worse.

12. Probably for the best.

8. Interesting viewpoint.

Did they treat the Gazans so badly? I would suggest looking into the real history of this to see who treated whom badly.

Some words to look up: Intifada. Suicide vest. Bus bombings. Qassam rockets. Al Quds rockets. M-75 rockets. Ayyash-250. Badr-3.

Also, look up the history of wars and terrorist attacks. Don't forget to add in the peace treaties that Israel agreed to, and the "Palestinians" broke. Again and again and again.

Consider that in 2005 all Jews were evicted by Israel from Gaza, many who had lived there for generations. Even the graves were dug up and relocated. Millions of dollars of agricultural infrastructure was left behind for the Gazans to use to grow food for their own use and for export. It was all destroyed by the Gazans.

Consider also that those who lived in the Kibbutzes who were slaughtered, raped, and kidnapped on Oct 7 were people who chose to live on the border and who worked daily for peace with Gazans. Many Gazans were their trusted friends, until they turned out to be spies for Hamas.

Israel never started a war, and, thank the Divine, never lost one.

Who treated whom badly?

5. Silly me, I thought it was guns that were doing the killing, but nobody is talkinig about gun control. nt
