The Oct 7 attack on Jewish civilians wasn’t a response to Israel being cruel to Palestinians.  It is a reminded that unprovoked antisemitic barbarity can rise at any moment – and Jews need to be ready.

Turkey harbors several Hamas leaders, and disagrees with the “terror organization” label given to Hamas by some Arab states and most of Europe.

In other words, Erdogan calls good evil, and evil good.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isa 5:20 AV).

Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. (Prov 14:22 AV).

Genocide – a word coined in 1944

Nov 13, 2023, Samaria: Israel does not want to commit genocide against anyone. Not Arabs, not Muslims, not Christians; no one.

Until the world recovered from the Hitler shock and what the occupiers had done, the language had no need for the word genocide. So, Raphael Lemkin coined the word in 1944, in “Axis Rule in Occupied Europe.”

It’s not that Jew-hatred never existed before that; just that its scale and methodology had never required a word.

As Churchill pointed out, when the Mongols invaded Europe in the 16-century, they used a merciless and methodical butchering on a massive scale. Hitler was the first since the Mongols to exercise murder of innocents at such scale – and so, the word was coined.

What a shame and an insult to turn that word into an accusation against the Jews. If not for Jewish suffering – would the word ever have come into existence?

Two hundred and forty hostages from 30 different nations are still held by Hamas in Gaza. Most of the world behaves as if this is acceptable; Are they victim-blaming the Jews?
