[From article]
There is much discussion these days of why the Media and liberals in general are so anti-Israel. It should be obvious to any casual but attentive observer that the media has a bias in favor of the Muslims and in opposition to Israel. Stories about the Gaza war have headlines like “Israel Resumes Gaza Strikes After Cease-Fire Lull - ABC News” or BBC News - Gaza conflict: UN accuses Israel over Jabaliya attack. In fact, a scan of the headlines suggest that Israel was and is the aggressor, while Hamas was minding its own business and only defending itself.
This, of course, has the whole conflict completely backwards;
[. . .]
Why does the Left hate Israel so much? Why is anti-Semitism rising across Europe? Why are the Jews so hated?
There are a number of answers to this question. For one thing, the Jews represent a European-type peoples who “invaded” the “peaceful” Islamic culture of Palestine, in the ignorant view of the Left. They represent a new type of Crusader class, only instead of bringing Christianity they are bringing a kind of Judeo-Western commercial culture that liberals believe is at the root of all Western evil. This is nothing new; modern liberals, indoctrinated to hate capitalism in all its forms, see the Israelis as the prime representatives of this supposedly Western idea.
[. . .]
The very existence of Israel is a stench in the nostrils of most liberals, and for good reason; it argues more eloquently for the existence of God and the truth of the Bible than any philosopher or theologian.
Liberalism was and is a competing religion to Christianity and Judaism. Liberalism is a Christian heresy, a secular worldview that parasites off Judeo-Christian beliefs and imagery.
[. . .]
Israel is a great rebuke to the Liberal worldview, because Israel’s miraculous existence suggests that the Jews and Christians are right, that there is a transcendent God who is actively working on their behalf (or rather that they are working on His). Throughout the great Diaspora the Jews never lost faith, and many Christians believed they would eventually be restored to their land - against all human reason. Israel’s seemingly miraculous rise from the grave and her continued existence, in spite of endless hostility on the part of the Islamic world and indeed even in Europe, justifies the faith of Jews and Christians and undercuts the belief of liberals.
[. . .]
The fool says in his heart there is no God.
And the bigger fools sees direct evidence and rages against it.
