[From article]
Anti-Semitism is embedded in both the Hamas and Palestinian charters.
[. . .]
the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a rabid anti-Semitic screed that, alongside Mein Kampf, is a best-seller in much of the Arab world today.
[. . .]
People like Herzl saw a Jewish state as saving liberalism. By removing the Jews, a country’s defects could not be blamed on the Jews. If no Jews were there, so it was believed, they would have no one to blame. It would put an end to anti-Semitism. How wrong they were!
[. . .]
When Israel established its permanency, it was assumed, the Arabs would become reasonable. But when it comes to the Jews, nobody and nothing is reasonable.
[. . .]
What are the Jews, what is Israel, to do about this phenomenon? The essential first thing to do is to stop playing the defendant. Once you accept the role and play the part of a defendant you lose the incentive to play the role of the prosecutor.
[. . .]
More often they were judged and prosecuted for crimes uncommitted. Jews were always automatically put on the defensive. Sadly, Israel has played this role all too often.
[. . .]
Israel must demand that world bodies reform their political thinking and stop imposing a different double standard to Israel and instead judge others by the norms they apply only against the Jewish state.
