The Lonely Sentinel

My father came from one of the more rigid Chassidic sects in Europe, but somehow had the opportunity to hear Zev Jabotinsky speak where he literally begged with tears in his eyes for Jews to take up arms, escape while there was still time, and learn to fight when the holocaust starts. My father survived by living as a non-Jew throughout the war, acquired a modicum of self-respect from that speech, and learned to start thinking as a proud person, not as a stinking, filthy Jew. When a policeman wanted to arrest him on suspicion that he was a Jew, my father beat up the policeman. When the bloodied policeman came to court to testify against my father, the big burly policeman was laughed out of Court.

Today, Herut, the followers of Zev Jabotinsky are again pleading for Jews to put aside their petty differences, take up arms, and stop the next holocaust. Again to deaf ears.

The Jerusalem Post and AACI sponsored a symposium that was touted as a debate, but was really a ploy to promote a Palestinian State in speech after speech. While it may have been an oversight not to invite a speaker from Herut, Prof. Paul Eidelberg appeared prepared to participate. Again, the frightened Ghetto Jew, the Capos, and Judenrot, excluded the voice of reason. While I began to believe that this whole affair was orchestrated, at the end of the speech the moderator indicated that the program was over, but as Herut hijacked this meeting, those that wanted to remain to hear Prof. Eidelberg were free to remain. Of course, as the meeting was over, almost everyone left. Perhaps this “oversight” was not so innocent. A couple from New York, who I believe was CIA or State Department operatives grilled my 13-year-old son about what Herut stands for.

Although I am a member of Moledet, and have been for years, I find the behavior of the Jerusalem Post and AACI, heinous and bordering on the illegal. I, nevertheless, see this exclusion of Herut as frightening and reminiscent of the arrogant delusional Jews that unnecessarily went up in smoke.

Herut is right. It is specifically Israel’s impotence that escalates Palestinian atrocities. As inadequate Jews promote a Palestinian State, Palestinians plan mega attacks using chemical and biological material provided by Iraq. Despite the Prime Minister openly advocating a Palestinian State, buses still blow up, civilians are still killed in cold blood, and customers of Arab businesses are killed and their charred bodies left to rot.

While Israel’s streets are strewn with scattered body parts, the United States expects Israel to “show restraint.” They want us to do to the Palestinian murderers what we did to those Nazis who tortured, mutilated, and killed over six million of us. Nothing.

We are too civilized to respond directly to the intentional slaughter of children. No, we Jews are civilized and after the Palestinians kill the last Jew in Israel, we are expected to collect money to make yet another museum dedicated to the memory of the innocent victims of another genocide and click our tongues.

Many of the Jerusalem Post type Ghetto Jews even applauded granting the Nobel Prize to the killer of the Maalot children and numerous other women and children and the inventor of hijackings and modern day terrorism. The highjacker that the Jerusalem Post event sought to reward with a Palestinian State is Arafat. Among his numerous atrocities, he directly ordered the murder of Klinghoffer. Yet, the Jerusalem Post front-page lead article and their web site shamelessly repeats that Herut are highjackers. Herut is a legal political party that has a significant constituency and is entitled to be heard. A front-page public apology is in order.
