It’s easier to hate people and justify murder, genocide, etc. when you don’t recognize them as humans. Richard Lichtman, a Jewish philosopher, has written an eye opening account of how the Jewish state today has become much of what the Nazis were to them during WWII. This excerpt from it is especially telling, for me at least.
That the Jews had been ripped from the womb of history by the Holocaust was not to be denied, but it could be less and less utilized as a claim against the Palestinians, whose own existence was now being so cruelly eviscerated, as 750,000 of their number were forced from their homes, their established lives, their settled existence, their autonomous claim to their own culture. Surely the destruction of the Jews did not justify the destruction of an innocent culture in an act of wholly misplaced retribution.
The Basle Congress (of 1897) was replicating what it knew and admired most in the mandate of European colonialism. What it could not establish by evidence, it simply invented. The virulent transformation of the actual land of Palestine was conceptualized at a later date by the Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in the following way:
– There was no such thing as a Palestinian people . . .
– It was not as though there was a Palestinian people considering itself as a Palestinian people and we came and threw them out and took their country away from them.
– They did not exist.
I must add that I had always suspected that the nonexistence of the Palestinian people was not a strict geographical contention on Golda Meir’s part, but the projection of a value judgment, the plain meaning of which was that whatever the Palestinian people might have claimed to be, they were of no account in the pages of history, much the opposite of the Jewish people, who were thereby justified in treating them as though they were not.

The Jewish people are apparently masters at inventing their condition as this article by John Zande illustrated making their entire existence as “The Chosen People” a farce and their right to claim Israel as their inheritance equally ludicrous. http://thesuperstitiousnakedape.wordpress.com/2014/01/02/how-we-know-the-pentateurch-is-historical-fiction-11/
That argument has been used extensively…the no such thing as a Palestinian….to me it is BS
I understand the guilt that the world felt after WW2…but as I continue to say…that debt has been paid in full many times over….it is time for Israel to start acting like a responsible player on the world stage…
Great comment and great points…thanx …Larry.
