The Twenty-first-century Total War Against Israel and the Jews
Part One
Manfred Gerstenfeld
The Perpetrators, the Anti-Semitic Hate Motifs Used, the War's Methodology, the Hate Distribution Mechanisms, and a Strategy for Countercombat
The multiple ongoing attacks on Israel and the Jews in the new century combine into a system, as if controlled by an invisible hand, that is very similar to a postmodern "total war." This complex whole is of a radically different nature than the war of the Nazis against the Jews in the previous century.
The main perpetrators among the enemies of Israel and the Jews come from the Arab and Muslim world. They have allies of various kinds in the West. The anti-Jewish hatred is transmitted through conduits such as semantics, the Internet, and the media.
In the Western world among the main distributors of the hate and discrimination are politicians, the United Nations, neo-Nazis, mainly left-wing members of the elite, the media, NGOs, academics, Christian churches (mainly progressive ones), and so forth.
The main motifs used against Israel and the Jews are mutations of the ancient one that was strongly present in the Christian world, in which the Jews represent absolute evil.
Any countercombat strategy requires more detailed study of the enemies. It has to focus on exposing them rather than on self-defense.
A Call for Genocide
The Jews are the Jews.... They do not have any moderates or any advocates of peace. They are all liars. They must be butchered and must be killed.... The Jews are like a spring - as long as you step on it with your foot it doesn't move. But if you lift your foot from the spring, it hurts you and punishes you.... It is forbidden to have mercy in your hearts for the Jews in any place and in any land, make war on them anywhere that you find yourself. Any place that you meet them, kill them.1
This call for a genocidal war against the Jews was made in 2000 by Dr. Ahmed Abu Halabiyah, rector of advanced studies at the Islamic University of Gaza on PA TV, the official channel of the Palestinian Authority (PA). Many similar statements can be heard or read in the Arab and Muslim world. Halabiyah spoke in a Friday television sermon and his call is thus part of the governmental, academic, and religious spheres of the PA and Palestinian society.
Such an expression of Arab anti-Semitism recalls what was frequent in Germany and several other European countries in the first half of the twentieth century. There, like in the official Palestinian television, the calls were often not only murderous but genocidal in nature. Halabiyah's words are among the more explicit manifestations of the extreme hate that now exists in many parts of the world against Israel and the Jews.
