The other day I visited a forum where someone claimed that we shouldn’t support Israel because of the massive amounts of sexual slavery that take place there. I chimed in that America has its own sexual slavery problem and the person wasn’t crying over that, at which point it was implied I was a “secret Jew” Zionist agent.

While I’m not a Jew, I will point out here that I am a Zionist insofar as I believe that Jews need a refuge from a world that goes through cycles of anti-Semitism. I also believe that Jews have a historic claim to Israel (proven by archeology) whereas Muslim claims of being in any area prior to Jews or Christians is based on Islamic theology which states that Islam was the first true religion of the first humans and all other faiths are perversions of the truth. In addition, Islamic theology teaches Muslims that Islamic culture is scientifically superior to other cultures and this leads to Muslims incorporating the achievements of other cultures into their own after conquest by claiming they discovered them in the first place. The idea that Muslims invented the concept of zero (it was actually introduced to Muslims by Hindus) is an example of this changing of history. Thus, the claim on “Palestine” and the temples there is no different than Islamic claims on America or Europe. They are theologically correct but historically inaccurate.

In other words, I support Israel, there is no such thing as “Palestine,” and Muslims have no more claim to the so-called holy lands than Americans have to Japan. This isn’t to say that I support financial aid to Israel, whose socialist system is propped up by us, but I do support military aid to the little country. I also think all aid to Islamic counties that do not have some sort of Republican system of government that recognizes the rights of non-Muslim citizens should be cut immediately.

But Israel is necessary. It is necessary because even in place like New York and California, liberal bastions of supposed tolerance, I’ve seen the rise of anti-Semitism: Jewish cemeteries desecrated, synagogues burned, and Jews murdered simply for being Jewish. This is on our own shores, in our very republic. Via NewsReal Blog, here’s a compilation of some of the incidents I often allude to when debating this point:

The truth is that anti-Semitism is increasing and it is not isolated to any one country or political persuasion. Many Leftists, Libertarians, Communists, Socialists, Paleo-cons and frankly even Wiccans and environmentalists I have met all agree on one thing. The Jews are evil, in their estimation, and they are siding with Islamists in a coming global intifada against them. Within our lifetime we will see a new holocaust, driven by academic Marxists who have convinced the world that there is some “evil” plot by Jews to make the world less peaceful and this plot is at the root of Islam’s war against the West.

Just yesterday I received a press release from Americans Against Hate that accused a liberal Florida City Councilwoman of making outrageous statements that just a decade ago would have been considered unseemly outside of neo-Nazi circles:

(Davie, FL) According to Jeff Rubinoff, the President of the Davie/Cooper City Republican Club, at a holiday party for the group, he engaged in a heated discussion with Town of Davie Councilmember Susan Starkey over a Davie street sign that had been given to the Hamas-related Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

According to Rubinoff, Starkey told him that, until the federal government and the FBI stop working with CAIR, the group would be able to keep its sign. She said that she would only distance herself from CAIR and help to remove the sign, if she saw proof that the FBI had stopped working with CAIR.

Starkey was sent the proof she was asking for, which according to Rubinoff included numerous reports regarding the FBI’s severing of its ties to CAIR and information showing how leaders in the U.S. Congress have spoken out against CAIR.

As recent as the end of last year, CAIR was named by the U.S. Justice Department a co-conspirator in a federal trial dealing with the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas. At the end of the trial, all of the defendants were found guilty on all charges.

Starkey, according to Rubinoff, has not responded to the information.

Starkey’s support of the Hamas-associated CAIR may be due to her apparent disdain for the Jewish community. According to Rubinoff, during Starkey’s talk with him, the conversation quickly deteriorated into an anti-Semitic rant, where Starkey charged that “Jews are trying to convert everyone.”

Americans Against Hate (AAH) Chairman Joe Kaufman stated, “Councilwoman Starkey’s feelings are obviously blinding her judgment with regard to the security of the citizens whom she was voted into office to protect. She should apologize to the Jewish community for her hurtful statement, and she should apologize to the entire community for allowing a group connected to terrorism to have a street sign in its name.”

It is a refrain I’ve heard too often in the last few weeks, the wistful fantasy that we can avoid Islamic animosity by siding with Muslims against Jews and Israel. It is moral cowardice inflamed by the acceptance of the petty bigotry that has become a faddish political stance among those that see themselves as part of the cultural elite. The left and factions of the right will make war on the Jews in the name of  Islam in the hopes that Muslims will spare them from the global conflagration the world is speeding toward. It is a complete misunderstanding of the imperialist impulse of unreformed Islam, but more, it is an easy way for the West to vent frustrations at its decline by blaming the one group it has complete power over. The West cannot dislodge Muslims from Europe, and Europe will soon (within decades if not years) collapse into a new Dark Ages due to their self-balkanization, welfare based economies, and cultural malaise. America is in no better shape. But we can fire up our ovens for one last orgy of genocide.

In the coming years Muslims will become more than the “existential threat to the West” that pundits often write about. When your local government has to lay off half its police force because tax revenues are declining they will control areas of  your cities just as they do in Europe and England now. Next year, food shortages and economic depression are being predicted by many smart people (myself included, I say humbly) and the E.P.A.’s new environmental regulations virtually guarantee rolling brownouts and entire neighborhoods gone dark as Americans struggle to pay exorbitant energy prices. We will slip into second world status and people will look for a scapegoat. The Jews have already been set forward by the West as our scapegoat on the recommendation of the Muslims we have decided will inherit what’s left of Western civilization after we allow it to collapse.

It is my hope that Israel will be a refuge for Jews when the anti-Semitism here leads to waves of violence. But it is temporary. The Jews are being set up to die. Muslims, leftists and the “old right” will soon have blood on their hands physically, not just metaphorically. The Christians think this will be their end of days and they might be right because as go the Jews so will go the rest of the West. The coming war against the Jews will not be an ending, but the beginning of the end of all of us.
