Admit It – People Hate Israel and Jews Just For Being Israel and Jews

April 19, 12

Come on, just admit it already. Admit that you have searched your heart and soul deep down, and can say that the above is not true.

Israel occupies land that it took by force? So does China with Tibet, Indonesia with Irian Jaya (and up to recntly East Timor),the current ruling Al Saud family in Saudi Arabia, and pretty much every Muslim state today if you want to go back that far. Plus these did not have seven surrounding nations declare unilateral war and invade.

Israel commits mass murder, genocide and killing of civilians? Far worse by orders of magnitude goes on in Syria, Libya, and Iraq while under Saddam Hussein. Far worse is the status quo in other states in the Middle East. Far worse happens every single day in whichever places are currently featured at the list updated daily here.

Israel carries out oppression and discrimination against those of differing race, religion or political thought? Nothing comparable to what goes on in Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Sudan, Iran, Syria, and whichever places are currently featured in the pages of the latest Barnabas Fund news alerts.

Israel is an artificial state formed by the Western colonial powers? So are Algeria, Morocco, Jordan – in fact almost ANY Arab state or nation that used to be under Ottoman rule – Malaysia, Pakistan (another case of cut along the dotted religious lines) – and yes, Palestine. And the formation of Israel got a greater than 70% vote in the UN.

So of all the nations and peoples in the world, why is only one singled out for more UN resolutions than all other nations combined? Why is only one not recognized by most of the Muslim majority nations in the world – despite the aforementioned UN-ratified-and-approved formation? Why is only one used as an excuse to justify racist attacks only totally unrelated, apolitical persons worldwide? Why do only the Palestinians have their own separate UN refugee agency, receive more aid than all other refugees combined, and with their people passing down refugee status to multiple generations of descendants instead of being settled into receptive host nations like every other refugee group? (Apart from the fact that they try to overthrow the host nation.)

So just come clean, be honest, and admit that you are biased against Israel and Jews. Then go a step further and admit why you have this bias.

Second Amendment in Southern Thailand

Thailand’s Buddhists Take Up Arms Against Insurgency

A deadly Thai insurgency has Buddhists scrambling for guns.

…a deadly insurgency is terrorizing Thailand’s south. The separatist movement, made up of mostly ethnic-Malay Muslims, roils the region with daily threats of sectarian violence and has prompted many Buddhist villagers, and even some monks, to take up arms in self-defense.

“First Muslim people came to our village and asked to buy our land,” says Suphorn Nison, a soft-spoken Buddhist in his mid-40s. “But they became less diplomatic when Buddhist people declined to leave.” The following month, Nison says, two men entered a convenience store operated by Nison’s father and executed him with two shots to his head. Nison claims the gunmen were Muslim and intended to send a stern message. Most Buddhists in his village left, but those who stayed, including Nison, formed a neighborhood-security force.

That was in 2006. Today such community-defense units are ubiquitous in Thailand’s south. Nison carries a revolver with him at all times. Many other Buddhists have also armed themselves, including a demure 38-year-old teacher, an acquaintance of Nison’s, who prefers a light Glock .22.

HuaHui, a long-bearded villager, exemplifies the kind of self-appointed power that the militia system offers Buddhists. At the entrance to his restaurant, he sits behind a makeshift bunker, holding an M-15 assault rifle. He keeps a cache of weapons on hand, along with special bullets designed to overcome “the voodoo of insurgents.” He’s been the target of drive-by shootings and bomb attacks more than a dozen times, he says. In the latest incident, “a month ago gunfire struck guests.” HuaHui sometimes patrols his district in a pickup truck, paying visits to friends—both Muslim and Buddhist—and making his presence felt to those he suspects of being on the “wrong side.” He visited a group of Chor Ror Bor in a nearby village who said the hordes of Army and police are not enough to secure the area. Later that evening, cars passing along the entry road to the village were struck by IEDs and gunfire.

And here’s what happens when people don’t have ways to protect themselves, from older posts The Wolves of Pattani, Southern Thailand and Photos of Brutally Murdered Victims of the Southern Thailand Pattani Insurgency:

Pattani1a

A beheaded motorcyclist. A threatening warning note was found on the body, you can see it and the translation at Zombietime.

Pattani1b

The removed head left near the body. Gruesome…

Pattani3

A soldier after the terrorists had their way with him. I forget, which is the merciless, inhuman organization of oppression again? The Thai government?

Pattani4

Brutalized dead body, probably of a monk, found in a house in a very unnatural position.

Pattani5

A tiny censor box to blot out the gore from a victim left on the train tracks to be run over… But that doesn’t stop you from realizing “Oh **** where’s the rest of the body?!”

Pattani2

Worst of the lot – the viciously defiled body of a monk, so gory and heartless that basically the entire photo had to be censored to post it on my blog.

The above photos are sourced from Zombietime.com. The uncensored versions and more photos can be found there.
