At one time, the ‘Arab-Israeli Conflict’ was Arab and Israeli. Over the course of many years, however, it was rebranded. The media is now telling us it is a ‘Hamas-Israeli conflict’. 

 But what went wrong? Israel simply became too powerful. 

 The supposedly astounding Israeli victories over the years against Arab armies have emboldened Israel to the extent that it came to view itself, not as a regional superpower, but as a global power as well. Israel, per its own definition, became ‘invincible’. 

 Such terminology was not a mere scare tactic aimed at breaking the spirit of Palestinians and Arabs alike. Israel believed this. 

Chapter 7

Shelia was cleaning up the mess that her daughters had left on the kitchen table. They always ran off in a hurry after eating leaving her with the clean-up details. Shelia’s heart was heavy today. The load was so heavy that with each heartbeat she felt as if her insides would drop through her uterus and plunged towards the gravity that called it, pulled it, and demanded it to drop. Drop into its hungry lap of fear. Shelia was scared. 

Shelia wasn’t a woman that scared easily. In fact, Shelia could be very scary herself, according to the neighbors who tried to stay on her good side and not complain about the loud R & B and pop music that her girls sometimes played during the day, or the loud jazz music that Shelia played during the night. It wasn’t that Shelia was aloof or appeared to be mean, it was just the way she carried herself, with confidence and strength. When Shelia walked she stood tall, back straight with a slight wiggle to her hips. 

With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hellbent on genocide, people keep sharing a scandalous article from 2015 called “Netanyahu: Hitler Didn’t Want to Exterminate the Jews.” I’m afraid it may give people the wrong idea. Netanyahu’s lie was that a Muslim cleric from Palestine convinced Hitler to kill Jews. But when Netanyahu said that Hitler originally wanted to expel Jews, not murder them, he was telling the indisputable truth. The problem is that it wasn’t a Muslim cleric who convinced Hitler otherwise. And it isn’t any secret who it was. It was the world’s governments.

If you were to listen to people justifying WWII today, and using WWII to justify the subsequent 75 years of wars and war preparations, the first thing you would expect to find in reading about what WWII actually was would be a war motivated by the need to save Jews from mass murder. There would be old photographs of posters with Uncle Sam pointing his finger, saying “I want you to save the Jews!”
