They all wash their hands of Jewish blood

By Giulio Meotti.

To the UN, Jews are supposed to be passive victims, and departure from this assigned role is unacceptable.

It’s the old central theme of the Albert Dreyfus affair: the fog of anti-Semitism in seemingly liberal societies.
The blood libel leveled last Thursday at the United Nations’ Human Rights Council, which passed a resolution ordering a first probe about Israel’s settlements, is no different from that which plagued Dreyfus and Jews for centuries.
The United Nations today is the tool of those who would make Israel the archetypal human rights violator in the world today. It is the most important breeding ground for anti-Semitism.
Three days after four Jews were murdered in a pleasant French city, the UN chose to demonize the Jews. For them, Jews are supposed to be passive victims, and departure from this assigned role is unacceptable. That’s why they criminalized “the settlers”.
During the same period, at the heart of Europe, in Geneva, Hamas’ man Ismail al Ashqar spoke before some members of the UN’s human rights council.
In Bruxelles, Catherine Ashton, the EU’s foreign policy chief, compared Toulouse’s massacre to Israel’s militacy operations in Gaza, abolishing Jews’ human rights.
Last week, the victim was not a single French Jew like Captain Dreyfus, but the whole Jewish nation.
The plotters were not a band of anti-Semites in positions of influence, but an unholy alliance of murderous racists, “democratic” commissioners, shameless journalists and corrupt intellectuals.
It is not only that the United Nations persuaded a large majority of the world’s nations to probe the most threatened democracy in the world - that fact that the UN had refused to condemn anti-Semitism after Toulouse is another measure of the organization’s old insanity.
It is a pattern.

Fogel massacre anniversary reminds us that world tolerates murder of Jewish children
One year ago the Fogels were slaughtered in Itamar: Father, mother and three children butchered during a night of horror. That night, a 12-year-old Israeli girl was out with friends until midnight, close to her village, where 100 families live. She arrived home. Nobody answered. She went inside with a neighbor and she saw her mother, father, three siblings (aged 11, three and three-months-old) with their throats cut.
Yet a year after the event, those who profess to deplore violence on both sides of the Israel-Palestinian equation have been completely silent on the Itamar massacre. No words of condemnation about the killing of innocents were heard from human rights groups and NGOs.
In Itamar, the daily diet of settler demonization had its intended effect. Killing a "demon" or the children of “monsters” or “devils” is not like taking the life of a fellow human being. Judea and Samaria’s citizens have indeed been called “leeches”, “snakes” and “parasites.”
In the midst of the second Intifada, when his own students were being butchered on buses and restaurants, Hebrew University Professor Ze’ev Sternhell declared that “the Palestinians would be wise to concentrate their struggle against the settlements.” Like Itamar. In 2001, after Arabs sadistically bashed the skulls of two “settler kids” in Tekoa, Israeli psychiatrist Ruchama Marton declared that “the settlers raise little monsters.” Moshe Zimmerman of Hebrew University said he regards settlers as Hitlerjugend.
Itamar also meant that no rational argument can be used against an ideology maniacally dedicated to Jewish destruction. The dark and glittering eyes of Itamar’s terrorists are telling of their desire to make the Mediterranean red with Jewish blood. It is no wonder then that during a recent program aired on Palestinian television, the aunt of one of the Fogel killers referred to him as a “hero” and “legend.”
