THE WANDERING JEW

‘Metal Flower’ by Benjamin Heine
For thousands of years the Jew wandered through the world… a lost soul without a homeland. For thousands of years he was tortured, killed, expelled by the host countries where he was not a welcome ‘guest’.
The way the zionists speak and act today, one would automatically assume that the Palestinians were responsible for their long suffering.
The dream of returning to the ‘Homeland’ was kept alive by this suffering… but again… the zionists overlook one important fact… there were already people living in that ‘Homeland’… there were Palestinians living in Palestine.
They too suffered under the yoke of the Turks and Brits… they too yearned for a ‘Homeland’ to call their own, free of foreign intruders.
The Jews got their dream fullfilled in 1948…. the exact year that the nightmare of the Palestinians began.
They miraculosly made ‘the desert bloom’… but the gardens of the Palestinians remained barren.. only metal flowers can grow without water… water stolen from them by the new arrivals.
The Palestinians were not the enemy… they were the victims. Instead of Israel learning how to combat hatred.. they chose to incorporate it into their everyday lives.
I was just sent THIS video about the Steven Spielberg archives. It is meant to be a piece of zionist propganda… but if you watch it carefully, you can clearly see who the enemies of the Jews were… and who wern’t.
Unfortunately,it seems, much of the suffering inflicted on the Jews in recent history served only as a training ground for what they themselves are now doing to the Palestinians.
As adolf eichmann stood on trial and was justly punished, so will those that continue his very policies today… If history repeats itself, as it seems to be doing, so will the justice in the end be repeated.

The geat PR ‘hasbara’ advantage that Israel is always trumping the Palestinians with began with the very earliest Zionists and is still repeated by people today - Palestine was a land without people for a people without a Land. My mother always said (as most did to their kids) that two rights dont make a wrong… well Palestine’s tragic history is one of two rights that have brought an awful lot a’ wrong. Its time to set things right!

Good to see you Lenny…
Sounds like your mother was a wise woman.
You /and she are so right when you say that ‘two wrongs don’t make a right’…
Things WILL be set straight… of this I am confident… question is WHEN?
