HATRED OF ISRAEL OR HATRED OF ALL JEWS

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 10th day of November in the year of our Lord 2023. I will be talking once again about the war in Gaza and exploring the hatred being expressed against Jews around the world. It seems that the hatred expressed is not just against Israel, but Jews in general and that said hatred is coming primarily from the very far left rather than the very far right.

I cannot begin this report without noting that today is the Marine Corps’ 248th birthday so happy birthday Marines. Tomorrow is Veterans’ Day, and how appropriate that days are set aside to honor those who have fought the nation’s wars over the centuries because once again we find the world at war and threatened with annihilation. Our current war is on the other side of the world, but as usual the United States is right in the middle of it as a willing participant.

My subject today is not so much war as it is hatred being expressed around the world against Jews.  Here in America, last Saturday 10’s of thousands of people marched on the White House screaming Allahu Akbar which means God is Great. Along with God is Great they screamed various vile profanities which seemed to be directed personally at President Joe Biden. They attempted to breach the White House security cordon but were denied access by armed and uniformed Secret Service and other White House Security. They defaced government property by committing acts of vandalism including spray painting and throwing blood on various monuments.

To my knowledge the government did not label this an insurrection and thousands of people were not arrested and held in solitary confinement. To my knowledge the FBI has not run face recognition software to identify others who may have been in Washington that day with the intent of arresting them as well. I don’t know for sure whether there were more FBI informants and instigators in the protest than protestors.

I’m getting a little carried away I know because this report is about hatred of Jews not the government’s hatred of all who object to its world view. The crowd screamed “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. That chant is growing in popularity despite the deadly attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians last month. The phrase means the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel and is therefore anti-Jew, I will argue. Long live the Intifada they chanted which is an Arabic word referring to a Palestinian uprising.

The demonstration, protest, riot, or whatever you choose to call it is not even what I’m talking about because it is easily explainable. The people in Washington last Saturday came from across the country to express support for Palestinians because they are Palestinians or at least Middle Easterners for the most part. They are part of the massive immigration or invasion policies orchestrated by the Obama and Biden administrations made necessary by the wars of the two Bush administrations. They also represent very clearly why other Middle East countries like Egypt for example, refuse to admit Palestinian refugees and why they were expelled from Kuwait. They are often trouble for the regime and other countries know it from experience.

The type of hatred those people expressed is explainable and understandable. The kind of hatred I am really talking about today is hatred expressed by people who have no dog in this Gaza fight, and who seem to have only a sketchy understanding of history and what is happening currently. The Hamas assault on Israel of October 7th has provoked a surge in acts of antisemitism around the world and has awakened a repressed fear or horror in Jewish populations worldwide.
