Why Is Israel Hated, And Why Are Jews Treated As Global Pariahs?

By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Jewish scholars may say that these issues are intertwined, and require a lengthy discussion of history. Simplistic answers will not suffice. The fact is that the state of Israel came into being in 1948.[2] Anti-Semitism has been rising globally for decades; and the world has erupted since Hamas’ attacks of October 7th, with almost unprecedented vitriol directed at the Jewish state—and against innocent Jews wherever they live.[3]

One prominent American Jew asked an important question years ago about the treatment of non-Jews in Israel: “Is this how I wanted to be treated when I was a minority in another people’s country?”[4] Another prominent American Jew predicted that Israel would not survive.[5] Both have been strong supporters of Israel; and both have impeccable credentials.

Anti-Semitism has existed for centuries[6]; and it won’t be explained in a short article like this. Will “Osama bin Laden 2.0” emerge, and desecrate if not destroy Israel?[7] Time will tell. In the interim, will Benjamin Netanyahu, the “Settlers” and rabid Zionists ignite World War III?[8] Courageously, IfNotNow states:

Today we mark 76 years since Nakba, or catastrophe, when over 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their homes and countless villages were wiped off the map during the establishment of the State of Israel. The Israeli government has continued the Nakba by carrying out a policy of land expropriation and deprivation of Palestinians’ fundamental rights from 1948 through today.

As we bear witness to the continuation of the Nakba over the decades, we recognize the chilling parallels between 1948 and today’s catastrophe in Gaza, as the Israeli military slaughters tens of thousands of Palestinians and forces over a million people from their homes—the largest displacement of Palestinians since 1948.

This history—together with our history as Jews of facing ethnic cleansing and mass slaughter—compels us to call for an end to the Israeli military’s genocidal assault on Gaza and to work towards an equal, just, and thriving future for all Palestinians and Israelis, free from ethnic cleansing, violence, apartheid, and oppression that reckons with and addresses the Nakba and other injustices.[9]

Is The Second Holocaust Coming, Which May Be Far Worse Than The First?

By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

A highly-educated and prominent American Jew told me years ago that Israel would not survive. He was a strong supporter of Israel and had served with the IDF; and his credentials were impeccable. And yes, I was shocked by his prediction.[2]

Since then, Benjamin Netanyahu, the “Settlers” and rabid Zionists have ratcheted up their suppression of non-Jews to extraordinary levels, in part to insure that Netanyahu avoids prison for his crimes. Remove him from power, and he would likely be incarcerated for years, at the very least.

Concurrent with this is the surge of anti-Semitism globally, to levels not seen since World War II, with far worse being possible. Students and others are rising globally, to protest against the Israeli actions. And in the USA, Jews and their shills in the media and government are blaming Hamas, Iran and everyone imaginable, in an effort to stifle free speech and obscure the truth.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt and General George Marshall opposed the creation of Israel, and they were omniscient. When FDR died, Harry Truman bowed to the wishes of his Jewish benefactors, and Israel was born. It has created chaos ever since, including its unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty[3], and its pressure on the United States to embark on the tragic war in Iraq.

There are an estimated 4,200 “religions” in the world. Christianity is the largest, with an estimated 2.4 billion followers. Islam is second with an estimated 2 billion followers. Judaism is among the smaller religions, with an estimated 14.7 million followers. If Israel ceased to exist, American Jews might not be affected, certainly if they were not immigrant Jews.[4]

However, what Netanyahu, the “Settlers” and rabid Zionists have done might change this prediction. A prominent Jew has stated: “Jew hatred is spreading fast.” Indeed, no Jew may be safe anywhere, which would be far worse than the Holocaust—even accepting how tragic that event was in human history. Yet, it didn’t compare with what Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung did in the Soviet Union and China.[5]

While large portions of the world may cheer if Israel ceases to exist, it may ignite World War III, certainly if Joe Biden is America’s President. Indeed, we may be on the cusp of that war right now, which would be catastrophic and unfathomable for each of us.[6] Some Jews are “reconciled,” and admit that they have come to expect hatred, which is both sad and tragic.

May God help all of us.

Joe Biden And Benjamin Netanyahu Will Be Welcomed At The Gates Of Hell

By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Leave aside the issues of rigged elections, open borders, rising crime rates and his mental incapacity. Lots of us served in our military; and we had friends who died doing so. Biden did nothing but hide; and now he has us poised on the cusp of at least three regional wars. Each may morph into World War III: in Ukraine against Russia; in the Middle East, defending the indefensible Apartheid state of Israel, which has engaged in genocide for decades; and in the Pacific, with respect to Xi Jinping/China’s claims to Taiwan, and Kim Jong-un/North Korea’s ambitions too.[2]

Tragically, Biden has put our great nation in harm’s way; and like Lyndon Johnson’s arrogance during the Vietnam War era, many Americans will die or be maimed for life because of it. Students are rioting on our college campuses, effectively saying “never again,” and they are being put down at Berkeley (and elsewhere), which gave rise to the “Free Speech Movement” when I was in law school there. Wait until the military draft is reinstated. We haven’t witnessed nationwide rebellions like that in decades.

Israel may end unceremoniously, a byproduct of Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to stay out of prison for his many crimes; and the evil “Settlers” and rabid Zionists, who ignored every lesson that should have been learned from the Holocaust.[3]. Decades ago, Netanyahu morphed into his ancestors’ Nazi oppressors; and he was hated by Ariel Sharon and the Rabins. The “Lioness” Leah Rabin blamed him for her husband Yitzhak’s tragic assassination; and she believed that peace was impossible with Netanyahu at the helm of Israel’s government. Her views were prescient and prophetic.

As anti-Semitism spirals out of control—with even worse yet to come—innocent Jews are being hurt globally, in ways not seen since World War II. This is Netanyahu’s gift to global Jewry, with respect to which he should pay with his life. He is an egomaniac, who is responsible for the deaths in Gaza alone of more than 34,000. At the very least, he must be tried by the International Criminal Court in a Nuremberg-like setting, and punished like Adolf Eichmann. Surely, he and Joe Biden will be welcomed at the Gates of Hell when they arrive.

Lots Of Us Ignore Fake News

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

And that applies to national and international news from ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, MSNBC, CNN, C-SPAN, Newsmax, the Washington Post, the New York Times, Drudge . . . and the list goes on and on.  Most have a pathetic Leftist slant or bias, which is not worth watching or reading.

Sadly, this has been true for decades, which is why brain-addled Joe Biden is occupying our White House—when he is not “tuned out” completely, or “vacationing”—and Willie Brown’s former ho is standing in the wings waiting for him to croak, quite literally.

So where can Americans get reliable, relatively-non-biased news, which is free and at our fingertips?  Try the American edition of the UK’s Daily Mail—with respect to which the disgraced former Prince Harry just dropped his lawsuit against.[2]

If this pathetic man-child—and the lapdog of the most-despised woman in the world, #MEGXIT—cannot stomach a fight against the Mail because it told the truth, there is hope for the rest of us who are farther down the global food chain.

What The Left Has Foisted On Us Are A Pack Of Lies

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

1.  Joe Biden is America’s President

He stands atop a pack of lies, liars and unbridled criminality.  Indeed, he may be the worst individual to assume the presidency in American history; and his cohorts have emulated the Nazis in their tactics.[2]

2.  EVs, including buses

EV sales seem to have reached their plateau in the USA.  Hertz has scaled back the leasing of them.  Charging stations cannot be found at some of America’s largest retailers (e.g., Costco); and some auto dealers are forfeiting their franchises rather than go through expensive changes to accommodate EVs.  EV buses are being replaced by gasoline or diesel-powered buses.[3]

3.  Man-made global warming

Our planet has gone through warming and cooling cycles for millions of years, which will continue long after each of us and our progeny leave this earthly realm.  Pollution is a separate issue, with India and China being the biggest polluters globally.

4.  Abortions

Yes, a woman’s body is sacred.  But so is the life of another being, from the moment of conception.  And to kill that being is Infanticide, which must be punished like any other wrongful death.[4]

5.  Open borders

Killer drugs such as Fentanyl from China are entering our country, along with ruthless cartel members from Mexico such as MS-13—and human traffickers, and those who engage in prostitution and sexual slavery.

6.  Policeman of the world

Brain-addled Joe has us engaged in multiple disastrous wars simultaneously (e.g., Ukraine, the Middle East), which may place us squarely in the midst of World War III.[5]

7.  God is dead

At a time when God—or one’s Higher Power—is needed most, organized religions are being attacked.  The effects of the Covid pandemic have been widespread, shuttering businesses and long-standing institutions; and churches are no exception.

8.  Everyone is created equal

In the eyes of God, each of us is equal.  In reality, economic and educational differences prevail.  To alter them, economic preferences have been given to the “disadvantaged,” which have come under increasing attacks in recent years.

9.  History can and should be rewritten

Like it or not, we can learn from history.  But there are those who seek to rewrite or distort it; and some are bent on tearing down monuments or defacing them, and changing time-honored names of institutions.

10.  Freaks of nature are God’s children too

Each of us is a child of God, who is loved.  However, the idea of manipulating or brain-washing young children is repugnant, and must be stopped.

11.  Euthanization is illegal except for dogs and other animals

It has been said: “The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.”  Like Infanticide, the euthanization of dogs should be treated as an abhorrent criminal act.

12.  Our police are criminals

The thugs, slugs, hoods and mongrels of “Black Lives Matter,” Antifa and other far-Left groups have killed innocent Americans including our police.  They have destroyed black and other businesses; yet they have not been punished.  No wonder our police are retiring early, or just resigning, which is causing crime to rise dramatically.

13.  Scams

Scams are probably as old as the first humans to inhabit this planet.  But today they may be more pervasive and malevolent than ever.  While Seniors may be easy targets, young Web users—especially gullible kids and young women—may become easy prey.[6]

. . .

These are merely a sampling of the challenges facing Americans today, which must be addressed and rectified when the next Administration arrives in January of 2025.[7]

Veterans Day 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

America’s holidays come and go, with Easter, the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s being among the most popular of all.[2]. Today we celebrate Veterans Day, which may have more significance this year than most Americans realize.  We may be on the cusp of regional wars in Ukraine, Israel and the Pacific, which might morph into World War III—and affect our lives, our children’s lives and grandchildren’s lives in ways we never imagined.[3]

Those who have served in our military, and fought in our foreign wars, deserve our deepest gratitude and recognition.  They have known hardships and sacrifices that most Americans cannot fathom.  And yes, a growing number have been women.  Today, our military is comprised of all colors, faiths and backgrounds—truly representing a United Nations of the world’s peoples.[4]  And more Americans may join their ranks, by choice or conscription.[5]

If China is going to attack us—and the same thing is true of its allies, Vladimir Putin’s Russia and Kim Jong-un’s North Korea—it will likely occur while brain-addled Joe Biden is the President.  Also, somehow the Democrats must retain control over the levers of American decision making and power, or they may become the victims of it, assuming that Donald Trump is reelected next year.

Pearl Harbor and 9-11 were considered to be aberrations: attacks that never should have happened if America had been alert.  If our enemies strike soon, where and how may it happen?  Will they use “Weapons of Mass Destruction,” or WMDs, such as a nation-ending EMP Attack?[6]  Biden is not Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was intelligent, politically-savvy and courageous.  Does America have a blind spot today, or many of them, which will cost us dearly?

While we celebrate our veterans today, we must salute those who will rise to the occasion in the future.  We need to remain constantly alert and vigilant, so the attacks on Pearl Harbor and 9-11 do not recur—or even worse.

Repel And Defeat The Invaders

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Our magnificent nation came into being as a result of the Revolutionary War, in which the British were defeated by heroic efforts, despite enormous odds against it happening.[2]  Our Declaration of Independence is a timeless document.[3]  We were challenged again in the War of 1812, and prevailed.[4]

Next came our Civil War, which pitted Americans against Americans, in the bloodiest conflict of our history.[5]. Two heroes stand out: Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.  The scars of that war remain with us today, as our nation is once again confronted with racial strife.  Perhaps Grant said it best with respect to the former slaves:

He was brought to our shores by compulsion, and he now should be considered as having as good a right to remain here as any other class of our citizens.[6]

Today, we are faced with invaders from an estimated 170 countries, who have been crossing our border with Mexico primarily.  Many bring small children; and their heroic efforts cannot be denied.  My first ancestor in America came from Bristol, England in 1770; and through hard work and the Grace of God, he became very successful and wealthy.[7]

Next, from Rottweil, Germany, a husband and wife arrived in 1849, who had sixteen kids.  They traveled across the Atlantic, and settled in New Ulm, Minnesota—near Minneapolis where my parents were born and raised.  In 1860, the husband had assimilated enough that he joined the Minnesota Regiment, and served in the Civil War.  Other ancestors came from Ireland and Scotland in 1850.

In recent years, we have seen waves of refugees fleeing from the war-torn Middle East, and traveling through Greece and other countries to the heart of Europe.  Others have fled war-ravaged Ukraine, seeking better lives in Europe.  As with every conflict, many women and young girls have been preyed upon by sex traffickers, and ended up in lives of prostitution.[8]

Why repel and defeat the invaders who have crossed our southern border?  Aren’t they this century’s counterparts of my ancestors who arrived in the 1700s and 1800s?  Yes, and no.  Many are criminals who bring deadly Fentanyl and other drugs into our country.  Others are members of the Mexican cartels, who sow lawlessness and havoc in our country.  Still others are unaccompanied children who are being used and abused.

Inscribed on our Statue of Liberty in New York’s harbor are the words:

Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”[9]

If we honored these words literally, the United States would be overwhelmed and torn asunder, while those who have waited patiently to come here legally would be denied[10]—which has been happening.  However, as the 2024 elections approach, brain-addled Joe Biden’s administration is reversing course and ostensibly closing the border, which they had opened wide.[11]  How very callous and hypocritical.

Like Chinese Water Torture, The Democrats Are Trying To Kill President Trump

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Drip by drip, they began putting Trump’s family and him through torture when Melania and he came down the escalator at New York City’s Trump Tower, and commenced their quest for the presidency in 2016.[2]  They did something similar to former President Richard Nixon with Watergate, and to former President Ronald Reagan with Iran Contra.  Any American who defies them can expect the same treatment, which is evil and unconscionable.

Those of us who began as Democrats are stunned by what has happened to our party.  Some of us left it years ago, and became Independents.  Others became Republicans, or joined the non-aligned.  Today, many of us are chastened, saddened and appalled by how unrecognizable our former party has become.  Read George Orwell’s prescient “Animal Farm”[3], or understand how Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung came to power, and wielded it; and you will understand the pattern.

If Trump dropped out of the 2024 campaign, would they stop?  Unlikely, because they want to send a message, loud and clear, far and wide, never to challenge them.  They are ruthless and demonic; and a force behind them is the racist and anti-Semite Barack Obama.  From day to day, Joe Biden doesn’t know what planet he is on.

Obama’s hatred of America began decades ago, before he ever lived on the U.S. mainland, and it continues to this day.  To his credit, he was bold enough to describe it in vivid detail, which few Americans heeded much less understood.[4]  Michelle Obama understands his hatred, and shares it; and her anger at times becomes uncontrollable.  Unlike her, he just keeps on grinning.

Revisit the attacks on Trump since 2016, and it will become clearer that they have been launched by Barack’s acolytes and true believers: in government, the media, among prosecutors and the judiciary.  They are cruel and relentless.  However, make no mistake about it: they are determined to destroy anyone and everyone in their path.  And they will kill if necessary, without a twinge of guilt or remorse—like Abraham Lincoln was killed.[5]

E pluribus unum

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

E pluribus unum is Latin for “Out of many, one,” and it is a traditional motto of the United States, appearing on the Great Seal.  Its inclusion was approved by an act of the U.S. Congress in 1782.  It is still considered the de facto motto of the United States from its early history.[2]

In many ways, America is best embodied in Sylvester Stallone’s original “Rocky”—the rise of someone from nowhere, against all odds.[3]  We have been that country, regardless of our color, ethnic origin or sex.  Yet, the United States is not that country anymore. 

Those of us who followed championship boxing since we were kids don’t know who the title holders are today.  A former heavyweight champion is the mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine; and he is enmeshed in that vicious, seemingly-unending war.[4]

Perhaps one of the most telling developments is that the Democrats are abandoning Joe Biden.[5]  They are smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall, but they are caught on the horns of a dilemma: how to jettison him—and Willie Brown’s former ho Kamala Harris[6]—and who can win for them?

Will it be Nancy Pelosi’s relative Gavin Newsom, or the racist and always-angry Michelle Obama?  Or will they pick some “sacrificial lamb” like George McGovern, who ran against Richard Nixon in 1972.[7]. If so, they are apt to spend the next four years trying the destroy the likely-winner, Donald Trump, as they did with Nixon after his landslide victory.

Trump and his family have already endured more attacks than any President in our history, except Abraham Lincoln.  Will they actually kill him too, and end any hope of “E pluribus unum,” as crime sweeps through America?[8]  It took many decades to heal the divisions created by our Civil War.  Some contend that the animus has never really left us.

Netanyahu Is Destroying Israel’s Democracy, And Biden Is Destroying America

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

To be especially kind, Joe Biden is “brain addled.”  He is an embarrassment globally; and he is a criminal who should be impeached and removed from office.  The same is true of his Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, their “hatchet man” Jack Smith and many others in the “Deep State.”

They are turning off Democrats, former Democrats, Independents and the non-aligned.  When I left the United States Senate, I concluded that the Democrats were “evil” but smart, while the Republicans were “Neanderthals” and dumb.  I have been an Independent ever since.

Joe Biden has been systematically destroying the Democratic Party; and it is in a bind.  Those who count don’t have the guts to dump him, especially with Willie Brown’s former ho Kamala Harris standing in the wings to replace him, and being a laughingstock in America and globally.[2]  Gavin Newsom wants to be the Democrats’ nominee, and perhaps Michelle Obama does too, but Joe Biden may take the party down with him between now and November of 2024.

Decades ago, Benjamin Netanyahu morphed into his ancestors’ Nazi oppressors.  He was hated by Ariel Sharon and the Rabins; and the “Lioness” Leah Rabin blamed him for her husband’s tragic assassination.  She believed peace was impossible with Netanyahu at Israel’s helm; and her views were prescient.[3]  Today, he and the Settlers and rabid Zionists are systematically “destroying” Israel’s democracy, while Biden is destroying his party and America.

“Make America Great Again” (MAGA) supporters are united behind Donald Trump’s reelection, and more committed than ever.  Independents and even disgruntled minorities (e.g., Hispanics, blacks) are drawn to their ranks, by increasing numbers.  Clearly, Israel’s hardliners will take umbrage at my conclusions above.  And many or most Democrats are in denial about their political prospects with Biden as their titular leader.  But both groups need to be realistic and appreciate what the future may hold for them.
