Following World War II Europeans freed most of their Arab colonies, and the U.N. voted the state of Israel into existence. Though glad for their freedom, Arab manhood demanded that they win that freedom from the West – not have it given to them – and so they made Israel, a nation established by a western U.N., a symbol for the West, which they then attacked.
Since Israel was a small country, the Arabs expected victory to be swift. But Israel unexpectedly held her ground, winning most battles, and finally occupying Palestine for the same reason that we occupied Germany and Japan. We were attacked and won. And we’d still be occupying those countries if they’d refused to negotiate a peace treaty as the Palestinians have done for more than 50 years.
Europeans have not had to pay for their years of Arab exploitation and subjugation. For 56 years, Israel has paid the price for them, and Europeans accept this. France and England, among Europe’s most anti-Semitic nations, are former colonizers and today they maintain their safety and their access to oil as the Arabs continue to attack Israel, which was once a symbol of their hatred but has now become the source of that hate. Arabs don’t see European countries as has-been nations – they see them as important players that they can control. So long as they have European sympathy, Arabs won’t make peace with Israel because they believe that it’s just a matter of time before they’ll be able to take over that country.
Europeans turned their backs while six million Jews were slaughtered. Today their actions contribute to the fact that an Israeli wage-earner fears to take a bus to work because he might be blown to smithereens before he gets there.
