The 3rd president of the USA is again trying to bring peace between the Palestinians and Israelis and will fail again. First it was Bill Clinton who tried to force a peace in his last days in office. Then it was Bush who tried and failed, and now it's Obama in his last days who along with his co-worker, John Kerry, thinks they are capable of making a deal that will satisfy both parties but will fail.
The problem is this: The Palestinians belong to a terroristic group of Arabs who swore never to make a deal 68 years ago. They were first led by Arafat who rejected every offer. Now it's Abbas, his replacement, who does the same. They must really not be interested in peace, for their main goal seems to be trying to wipe Israel off the map, and indeed, their maps show no Israel at all, and their schools teach this, also.
Even Israeli President Reuven Rivlin has pronounced any peace deal today as currently impossible with a situation of Israel wanting peace and have gone the mile needed for peace, but with the Palestinians now lying about Israel so pronouncedly, that it is a joke. They are trying to show why they cannot go for peace by accusing Israel's rabbis of calling for the poisoning of Palestinian water supplies, the old accusation going back to the Middle Ages of Jews poisoning the wells. This is so wild that it makes me choke. How can one discuss a peace deal with people who think like this? His people may be ignorant of Jewish history, but I certainly hope that leaders of countries realize where this comes from and the history of anti-Semitism. Abbas is again trying to bring hatred against Jews, hatred that causes political views to be hated as well against Israel. He figures that since the world has hated Jews in the past, they will ignore whatever is true about the Palestinians and only remember charges against the Jews, like they have poisoned water of Palestinians. With their own people, it seems to have worked, since they are being brain-washed against Jews since they enter school, and even before with their parents.
Anti-Semitism was the outgrowth of Christian teaching of hatred for Jews to cause them to convert. People were taught to hate Jews. This medieval anti-Jewish prejudice was religious in nature and could generally be obviated by conversion to Christianity. On the other hand, anti-Semitism has some affinities with the anti-Jewish prejudice in ancient Alexandria and later, against the Marranos in Spain. Abbas is doing the very same thing, only this goal is to end Israel completely, and one can't make peace with a nation one wants dissolved and destroyed.
We have been accused of all sorts of terrible things, including using human blood in the making of our special bread, matzos. "When the Black Death raged through Europe (1346–53), the charge was given that the Jews had poisoned the wells. The only court of appeal that regarded itself as their appointed protector, according to historical conceptions, was the "Holy Roman Emperor." The emperor, as legal successor to Titus (79-81) , who had acquired the Jews for his special property through the destruction of the Temple in the year 70, claimed the rights of possession and protection over all the Jews in the former Roman empire. The king at the time of the Black Death was Charles IV, the king of Bohemia, called the German king, born May 14, 1316 in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
Similar to accusations made during the Black Plague, Jews were accused of encouraging lepers to poison Christian wells in France. An estimated five thousand Jews were killed before the king, Philip the Tall, admitted the Jews were innocent. Then, Charles IV expelled all French Jews without the one-year period he had promised them, as much of Europe blamed the Black Plague on the Jews and tortured them so they would confess that they poisoned the wells. Despite the pleas of innocence of Pope Clement VI, the accusations resulted in the destruction of over 60 large and 150 small Jewish communities.
Netanyahu has condemned Abbas' incitement saying, "Abbas showed his true colors in Brussels. Someone who refuses to meet with Israel's President Reuven Rivlin and with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for direct negotiations, and someone who promotes blood libels in the European parliament is lying when he claims his hand is outstretched in peace.
Oh, I know that prejustice develops against countries from the family. My own Swedish grandmother used to say, 'Oh, those Norwegians!." That was it. Her tone of voice showed displeasure towards this rivaling Scandinavian country. But they were not being used as scapegoats of the world, as Jews have been, someone to pile all the ails of the world upon. My hope is that everyone is smarter today and realizes that this present accusation of Abbas is showing his true colors and what Israel is up against. Israel does not have a "normal" situation to deal with in coming to peace terms with another people, because if Abbas has is way, there won't be an Israel. After 68 years of defending themselves and having been given the OK to be created in the first place by the world politicians, this is not going to happen.
