The other day we picked up the news from CNN that when Israeli security forces descended on a Bedouin village in the Negev and destroyed it, uprooting over 200 people, busloads of civilians were there cheering.
Max Blumenthal has now visited Al-Arakib and has a thorough report on his blog that the cheering civilians were high school students. Excerpt:
Arab Negev News publisher Ata Abu Madyam supplied me with a series of photos he took of the civilians in action. They depicted Israeli high school students who appeared to have volunteered as members of the Israeli police civilian guard (I am working on identifying some participants by name). Prior to the demolitions, the student volunteers were sent into the villagers’ homes to extract their furniture and belongings.
A number of villagers including Madyam told me the volunteers smashed windows and mirrors in their homes and defaced family photographs with crude drawings. Then they lounged around on the furniture of al-Arakib residents in plain sight of the owners. Finally, according to Matyam, the volunteers celebrated while bulldozers destroyed the homes.
“What we learned from the summer camp of destruction,” Madyam remarked, “is that Israeli youth are not being educated on democracy, they are being raised on racism.” (The cover of the latest issue of Madyam’s Arab Negev News features a photo of Palestinians being expelled to Jordan in 1948 juxtaposed with a photo of a family fleeing al-Arakib last week. The headline reads, “Nakba 2010.”)
According to residents of al-Arakib, the youth volunteers vandalized homes throughout the village
The Israeli civilian guard, which incorporates 70,000 citizens including youth as young as 15 (about 15% of Israeli police volunteers are teenagers), is one of many programs designed to incorporate Israeli children into the state’s military apparatus. It is not hard to imagine what lessons the high school students who participated in the leveling of al-Arakib took from their experience, nor is it especially difficult to predict what sort of citizens they will become once they reach adulthood. Not only are they being indoctrinated to swear blind allegiance to the military, they are learning to treat the Arab outclass as less than human. The volunteers’ behavior toward Bedouins, who are citizens of Israel and serve loyally in Israeli army combat units despite widespread racism, was strikingly reminiscent of the behavior of settler youth in Hebron who pelt Palestinian shopkeepers in the old city with eggs, rocks and human waste. If there is a distinction between the two cases, it is that the Hebron settlers act as vigilantes while the teenagers of Israeli civilian guard vandalize Arab property as agents of the state.
“Israeli high school students assisted in state’s destruction of Bedouin village”
Ah…yes, get the kids in on actively engaging in the war criminality as early as possible in their “development”. Make them feel a part of “the big family”.
Modern day hitler youth. That’s the model zionism, inc. is using for israelis. They need that goosestepping, mindless loyalty ground in deep into those teenaged heads.
The zionists are working hard to make sure the direction of israeli society can not be turned around and humanized. They are looking for a new WW2 outcome where the stubbornness and fanaticism of the late war nazis paid off with a”heroic” defeat of the allied hoardes of lesser beings.
So arises a stench from the past hayate –
TRIUMPH OF THE WILL
They are trying to do this in our name, a truly fascist wave of wreckage and repugnance. Max, we feel the hate. The only question that remains is directed to what some call the diaspora (as if Israel is the homeland and everywhere else is the diaspora – more nonsense), do you want to sacrifice your children on the alter of this destructive delusion?
Cut your funds to this atrocity now, fall out of love with Israel. Treat the Birthright like a birth defect. The sooner the better, and anti-organize as fast as you can.
Someone like Jon Stewart won’t bring this up like he parades Hamas’ kid shows unless he can “balance” it with similar appalling indoctrination on the Palestinian side. “You see, they’re equally repugnant”, would be his point.
Just like Shwartzman, a Zionist commenter on here, said in another thread to the effect that, “This article lacks balance. It’s one sided”.
The Zionist mantra is that the brutal occupation and subjugation of another people for more than 40 years is comparable to the acts of resistance said people carry out in response to the occupation. That’s the mantra. Both parties are EQUALLY guilty, is the deceptive lie.
Luckily for me, I haven’t taken Jon Stewart or other hacks like him seriously for some time now.
So, why does Stewart come to mind given that I don’t watch his show? Well, that “balance” shtick reminded me of him.
Our culture is rather lacking in objectivity as a principle to live by; besides the whole point of comedy is lack of balance and political satire especially–would you prefer Phil Maher’s transparent lack of balance? When’s the last time an American stand-up comedian joked about US foreign policy in the Middle East?
OK. But is that a reason to perpetuate that lack of objectivity?
During the Bush years, there was barely any mainstream media outlet keeping watch on the empire’s crimes. Along came Obama, and suddenly those self-described liberals looked the other way as if a democratic president cannot commit similar crimes. Have you seen Stewart’s appearance on crossfire, where he lectured the hosts on journalistic standards? It’s on YouTube.
No. I wouldn’t. But, that doesn’t mean I have to settle for ‘mediocre’. Just because |A| is the lesser evil of |B|, doesn’t mean that |A| should not be criticized.
The Middle East, in general? Or, the Middle East within the framework of the Israeli occupation of Palestine?
I recall many comedians talking about the Iraq invasion and Obama’s speech in Cairo.
Like I said, this is a trivial side issue. But, I was reminded of it due to the subject matter of the article above.
True. That’s certainly a valid distinction and an accurate depiction. But, while on the surface there may seem to be a difference between the two, in reality they are the same. That is to say if colonist youths commit such crimes on a regular basis while enjoying the full protection of the Israeli military and the Israeli court system which does not indict them, then — in practice — what is the difference?
So Israel has its own Hitlerjugend. Liberal parents had better beware…
Looks like it. In 1943 a Hitler Youth Panzer division composed mostly of young soldiers between the ages of 16 and 18 fought against British and Canadian forces during the Battle of Normandy. By 1945, 12-year-olds were common in the German army. How do these Israeli HS students destroying a bedouin village compare? Did they shit on family photos of young bedouin men in IDF uniform?
1943 in Normandy was very dull, without those Canadians and British. In 1944 more was happening, also because they took the Americans with them.
I can hardly wait for the day when all this is over and ex-israelis are hunted around the world for their crimes against humanity.
To think that the mideast will accept another generation or two of this disgusting behavior is utterly unrealistic!
A judge in the US determined that Iran was guilty of the bombing of the Beirut barracks (Iran did not appear in its own defense). He imposed a fine on Iran amounting to just under $3 billion.
The US Treasury has impounded Iranian funds in its possession, still from the Iranian takeover of the US embassy (which US was supposed to return to Iran, in compliance with Algiers Accord, which US has repeatedly violated). The claimants in the Beirut bombing lawsuit would like US to pay their claims from the Iranian funds in US possession, but US Treasury is holding the money to use as leverage against Iran.
If the US is your motherland, your mother is a crook.
Some of these deceived and manipulated young people will probably break out of their indoctrination and spread some enlightenment in the process.
Does Breaking The Silence still exist?
Max highlights Israeli high school kids having been bussed-in to help and to enjoy the destruction of Palestinian homes. Makes you remember the other time Israel did something equally educational with its kids when it bussed-in children to an army base in the northern Galilee to autograph or personalize shells about to be lobbed on Lebanese children during the 2006 war. Bringing in kids to participate in the shelling of civilians or in the destruction of homes of a weaker people must have some redeeming values important only to the Zionist cultists.
Thanks, Max, for getting to the bottom of this incident.
Last month, there was a big whoopdidoo in the Israeli press about a (Jewish, of course) IDF soldier whose illegal home in the settlements had been slated for demolition. Oh Noez! We can’t destroy a soldier’s home!
I wonder how many soldiers in the IDF just had their homes destroyed in al-Arakib.
See how unfair I am to Richard? I feel so guilty, and mean. How many times have I gleefully bet my wife a piece of clothing that Richard would be first to comment on every post. And yet certain posts come along, and Richard very respectfully gives others a chance at the top spot, or doesn’t even comment at all. Gosh, if there was only a way of determining which posts that might be, I’d be the one with my pants on, and my wife would be down to her undies! Funny how he skips certain posts…
I’ll never figure it out.
Perhaps he’s busy trying to discover if the Hitler Jugend actually did rob and vandalize jewish homes in Germany under color of the state? Or maybe, obsessed with BDS, he’s busy contemplating old archive tidbits, such as this:
“The BDS movement has gained so much support especially from the young Jewish generation that Howard Kohr, the executive director of Israel Lobby (AIPAC) while addressing the AIPAC Policy Conference On May 3, 2009 warned the 6,000 attendees that “the movement to call Israel to account for its crime against the Palestinian people is growing. It is invading the mainstream discourse, becoming part of constant and unrelenting drumbeat against Israel”. It could eventually threaten the existence of the Jewish state by undermining the support it receives from its strongest backer, the US government (US$6-14 billion per year). The participants at the conference included Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Newt Gingrich, Benjamin Netanyahu and Shimon Peres.”
He actually called it that?: “its (Israel’s) crime against the Palestinian people”? My o My!
Here’s the President of these fine young people complaining about Britain’s pro-Arab bias to Benny Morris:
link to guardian.co.uk
He claims there’s a British saying that “an anti-semite is someone who hates the Jews more than necessary”. Never heard it.
Max,
the young men in the pictures are wearing reflective vests and/or T-shirts with the words “Reshet Biatachon” on them. The words mean “security net”, and are both the name of an outsourcing company (which specializes in security & cleaning tasks) and a youths-at-risk social support program designed for suicide prevention among Ethiopian youths.
They don’t look Ethiopian, so it seems more likely that they’re doing summer jobs than attending a summer camp.
These youths were essentially imitating the Israeli soldiers who went into Gaza, massacred Palestinians, destroyed homes, graves, painted racist and vulgar graffiti on the walls, left behind trash, human waste, defaced family photos, and destroyed personal effects of Palestinians.
In glorifying the military that participated in the assault on Gaza, and ascribing the actions in Gaza to a select and small group of “bad apples” — despite the wholesale destruction and brutality — the Israeli government and Israeli society effectively told the younger generations that the brutal and barbaric soldiers are role models to be followed.
“I’d like to welcome you to Sparta. Fascistan is here.
Yedioth Aharonoth devoted its first four pages Friday to the result of a poll commissioned by the Israel Defense Forces and the Education Ministry.
“The combat-ready and draft-dodging test,” the headline blared. Underneath it were lists of high schools across the country measured by the rate of service in IDF combat units among high school graduates…Our substitute for a good school, an educator and provider of knowledge: service in combat units, manning roadblocks, targeted killings, arrests and other routine IDF activity. This is what our schools take pride in.”
IN ISRAEL, SUCCESS [IN SCHOOL] IS MEASURED BY COMBAT SERVICE
IN WITTYLANDUSA, FAILURE [IN SCHOOL] IS MEASURED BY COMBAT SERVICE
If one is a member of a group “chosen by God” there seems to be no self-imposed limits to one’s earthly behavior towards those not so fortunate as to be so selected. These Zionists are sowing a terrible wind and daily provide evidence that they cannot be entrusted with the power of a state.
Next thing we know you will be pushing for a cap on our oil spill.
“These Zionists are sowing a terrible wind and daily provide evidence that they cannot be entrusted with the power of a state.”
Or should be permitted to raise children. Or even be allowed around children.
Rowan wrote earlier:
(in the Israel – fascist thread)
It is in my opinion quite dishonest to pretend that zionism either fell out of the sky or was solely an idea put forward by british imperialists and adopted by jews. Zionism is an integral expression of judaism; the geopolitics of the nineteenth century made it into a practical dream rather than a utopian one.
Not British imperialists (they were the means), but Central-Eastern European nationalists. The myths are slightly different, but the ideas (ancient volk, organic history, blood and soil, etc.) are basically the same. Political Zionism bears no resemblance to traditional Jewish messianism, and even the religious Zionists (Mizrahi and its offshoots) were taggers-on who created an a posteriori theology, not leading lights. Zionism is certainly an expression of Judaism because for the simple reason that it has come to dominate much of Jewish life, but “integral” is another matter altogether.
Had Zionism been “an integral expression of Judaism”, it would not have been rejected by the vast majority of European and American Jews – Orthodox, Reform, Bundist, etc. – prior to WWII. Had Zionism been an “integral expression of Judaism”, it would have been highly developed among the mostly-traditional Jews of the Arab world. Had Zionism been an “integral expression of Judaism”, it would not have been a primarily Central-Eastern European phenomenon.
What’s merely an expression sometimes becomes integral tommorrow. How many sects has Judiasm had over the centuries?
Certainly the predominent ones today were no so back in the antique days? Same for Christianity, and to a lesser extent Islam?
Citizen,
Good point. Part of the reason we anti-Zionist Jews are so pissed off. See eg. Phil’s posts on a different future for Judaism.
Shmuel, by what process, by what ratification, is something deemed “an integral expression of Judaism”?
As far as I know, just the fact that someone would say that(“an integral expression of Judaism”) about anything except maybe monotheism tells you all you need to know about them and their relationship to Judaism.
I’ve been Jewish all my life, intend to go on being so, and I don’t know (apart from monotheism, the Sh’ma etc.) what is an integral expression of Judaism. I seem to think it’s one thing, and Zionists, to give one example, seem to think it’s a lot of other things.
But Rowan has done “research” and knows the answer. What more do you need to know? And I know that if I thought a certain religion kept me from getting married, I would sort of resent them and see bad stuff as integral to them.
I could go looking for references for the pre-1900 religious zionist forerunners. It’s a matter of interpretation.
Rowan,
I studied in a religious-Zionist high school in Jerusalem, and a great fuss was made over “religious Zionist forerunners” such as Yehudah Alkalai and Shmuel Mohliver, but their intentions and influence have been distorted and exaggerated by religious and secular Zionists alike – the former for reasons of self-aggrandisement (toward sec. Zionists) and self-justification (toward religious anti-Zionists), and the latter in order to lend themselves greater “organic” authenticity. For similar reasons, secular Zionists have even co-opted the “students of Elijah of Vilna”, who settled in Palestine in the late18th – early 19th cent as “forerunners of Zionism”.
Without the decidedly European nationalist ideas of Herzl, Jabotinsky, Weizmann, Borochov, A.D. Gordon and others, there would be no political Zionism or Zionist state – as “fond of Zion” as a handful of 19th-century European rabbis may have been.
Even a cursory examination in the USA brings this –
THE WAY WE WERE
In producing this title I am not trying to be crass or destructive, but I want people to see particularly in what we call the “Jewish Community,” what was perceived by the same community when the Peace Conference of President Wilson in 1919 gathered in discussion regarding a Jewish State. There were approximately 150,000 Zionists at this time in the states as compared to a population of 3,500,000 in the Jewish community.
The article in the New York Times was originally written titled “Protest To Wilson Against Zionist State – Representative Jews Ask Him To Present It To The Peace Conference,” which took place in Paris. Read it carefully and see if any of these individuals wrote with prescience in what we see happening today. What would these men be called today? Self-hating Jews, perhaps antisemitic? Did they foresee with clarity what might happen? Capitalized emphasis added to the excerpt published here, full article linked.
I attended a rally, march in D.C. some years back focused on the Palestinian Solidarity Movement. Went around talking with many older Palestinians who had been run out of their villages by some of these earlier Zionist. Brutal and inhumane stories.
Was also surprised by the Hasidic Jews who were at this rally who were completely against Zionism and the occupation of Palestinian lands. Carried their religious beliefs where ever they go said it had nothing to do with a piece of land
Fascinating

Here we go! Shmuel, what if it is necessary for people to believe that Zionism is an integral, irresistable and universal value of Jews before they can rouse themselves to do anything about it?
Perhaps you don’t remember what a big part the permissibility (at that time) of white condenscension played in gathering white support for civil rights?
And you have to make allowances for Rowan. If he was Jewish, he would be happily married, with beautiful daughters, but somehow the Jews prevented his marriage. So maybe there’s some bitterness.
Okay, so there’s WJ, and Rowan. How many other people do I have to find soul-mates and help-meets for? Just call me Mooser the Matchmaker! How does that strike you?
re the first part of your comment @ 10:55 am, Mooser:
what if it is necessary for people to believe that Zionism is an integral, irresistable and universal value of Jews before they can rouse themselves to do anything about it?
that’s inside-out, from my perspective. People are slammed as antisemites when they start a conversation with, “some of my best friends are Jewish” or words to that effect. Why do Jews take offense at such a statement? It’s full of meaning — this meaning:
I don’t know every single Jew in the world; I know these Jews and we are friends.
Based upon those friendships, I have a prejudice: I like Jews. That’s my generalized, collectivized prejudice about Jews: based on my awareness of and friendship with a few Jews, I like all Jews.
THEN
I see people like Wm Kristol, Wolfowitz, Perle, the whole cast of characters. They say and cause to be done things that are violently outside the scope of anything I want to be associated with, or want my taxes to support. They are Jewish. Their behavior shatters my pro-Jewish prejudice. What do I do now?
I study, research, learn, dig.
I discover that Kristol, Wolf, Perle, etc. are a special breed of Jews, or of politicians, really, called zionists. Oh. OK, zionism is not Judaism; to be zionist is different from to be Jewish. Apparently it is reasonable to apply a collective judgment to zionists, based on the sampling-knowledge of Kristol, Perle, etc., that is different from the collective judgment about Jews that I apply to most Jews based on my prejudice about my Jewish friends.
That’s how it works, Mooser; not the other way around.
People don’t — or at least I don’t — hate the way Israel is behaving because Israelis are Jewish (although Israelis self-proclaim that they are prototypical Jews); rather, people like me hate what Israel is doing because it is inherently hateful.
When people like Abe Foxman blast people like me as antisemites because I express hatred for what Israel is doing and people like Foxman apply their own dog-whistle, mind-reading, distorting interpretation of what I express and call it Jew hatred, first I resist; then I retreat and rethink; then I get angry; then I get fighting mad. Then I let ‘em have it: I’d punch ‘em in the face if they were nearby.
But I didn’t start the process, Mooser; I did not wake up one morning and say, “Hmm, this looks like a fine day for me to hate me some Jews.” Quite the opposite. I woke up one morning and could not make sense of the way the puzzle pieces were going together other than that people who were doing very evil things were, in the main, Jewish people. That shattered the trust and respect I had had for Jews for all my life; it created a sense of disjointedness: what did I get wrong all these years? Did I have it all wrong then or do I have it all wrong now? WHAT IS GOING ON?
“WHAT IS GOING ON?”
Gosh, psycho, you really worry about this. I feel the same way about white people. Or people in general. You start out meeting some that are nice and then you notice a lot of famous white people or people in general turn out to be racist jerks, or mass murderers, or cable television executives and you don’t know what to think.
Mooser, your penchant for misrepresentation is characteristic of something: zionist propaganda maybe.
Actually, thinking about it, Mooser, it’s worse than the zionist propagandists. They normally keep their misrepresentation within the limits of what could be claimed on enquiry to be accidental. But there is simply no resemblance at all between “The Jews prevented me from getting married,” which is what you claim I said, and “If I had been Jewish, I would probably have gotten married,” which is what I actually said. Maybe, just maybe, Mooser, you suffer from a species of compulsive dishonesty, and in some obscure way I have brought it to the surface.
If you’re not married you can’t be the Archbishop of Canterbury, which I had half suspected you were. What a disappointment.
I think of Mooser as possessed by the Jewish sister of a comic Muse, not to be confused with a comic moose. The Muses’ ability to speak the truth is mixed up with their ability to give the truth useful, in this case funny, twists. They explained this to their devotee Hesiod. Robert Graves all but suggests that Hesiod had something of a Jewish mentality.
Yes, well, we all know about Robert Graves and Jewish women. Laura Riding’s real name was Laura Reichenthal. She did write one half-way good couplet, which I always misquote slightly (to perfect it):
Gee I never knew irony was a jewish invention.
Just ignoring your own irony there and taking the question straight, I looked in my dictionary and found that there is no word in classical hebrew for ‘irony’.
Yeah I struggled a bit to get the self reference in there.
The word sarcasm, which is a form of irony, comes from greek.
There should be words for the different flavors that a well developed sense of irony can get.
They’re both greek words, but irony is a quality inherent in the events themselves, whereas sarcasm is a manner of speech drawing attention to it. I’ve completely lost track of who is supposed to be being ironic about what. It doesn’t really matter; much as we might endeavour to maintain an air of salon urbanity around here, there are hundreds of professional and amateur jewish hate merchants crawling this site and others like it, looking for juicy examples of apparent anti-semitism they can adorn their own sites with, as I know to my cost, and this is why I object to being saddled with nonsensical bogus quotes like “Jews prevented me from getting married.”
Alvy Singer Syndrome
The similarity between zionism and nazism is not new….that same mentality has been there since the beginning.
[8.44] January 1946, British Consul, New York reporting a mass demonstration for Jewish freedom put on by the New Zionist Organization of America. “It was constantly patrolled by the Betarim, the new Jewish Youth Army, attired in a Hebrew version of the old Nazi Bund uniform.” “Great Britain was public enemy no. 1 of the Jewish people, more dangerous and shrewder than the Nazis…”
[8.65] February 1946, formation of B´rith Trumpeldor of America or Betar, affiliated with the NZO. “there is noticeable similarity in the organisation´s character, structure and aims to those of the Hitler Youth…”, reported by British Embassy, Washington.
I decided some time ago to regard zionism as a ‘ psychopathic cult’, like nazism, that’s the only way I, at least, can explain it. Even the zionist who say they are zionist only in the sense that they want Israel ‘to exist’ can’t be exactly normal unless they are deaf, dumb and blind and never noticed what it has taken from other people for Israel ‘to exist.’
And don’t even get me started on our psychopaths in congeress.
Seriously, for a decade I have tried to figure out what it is that has produced these crazies to begin with and allowed them to run wild in the world. If Israel was a person instead a country’s government it would have been pronounced clinically insane and locked away as a threat to himself and others.
Usually when I try out different theories on how the zionista managed to enthrall so many otherwise normal Jews by asking it is their culture or religion or tribalism or what?.. I get called an anti semite.
If I asked what caused the Jim Jones cult crazies I’d probably get a rousing sociological discussion instead.
Yea I’ve read the books like Jacqueline Rose’s the Question of Zion that say zionism is a collective psychosis.
I think I have gotten to the point where I don’t care about the reasons or causes or whatever of these zionist nutcases, or the reasons for why we have to work within our corrupt system with our corrupt politicans to change our corruption. Don’t want to hear the explanations or excuses or justifications for any of it…or anything at all. I just want them all gone. Pouff!…..disappeared in to the ether zone from whence they can never return. So we can all have a little bit of peace and quiet in one corner of the world at least. If we could have just one decade or even a few years free of crazies calling the shots people might start to remember the difference between normal and crazy.
“The similarity between zionism and nazism is not new….that same mentality has been there since the beginning.”
You have no idea how uncomfortable that makes me and how offensive I find it. So it’s probably a winner! You stick to it like glue!
The Zionist-Nazi comparison seems to be a necessary, essential part of the Israel-critical discourse. And if I don’t like it, you know it’s a winner!
Can’t say that I particulary care about your or anyone’s “discomfort” or how “offended” their little feelings are considering all the people that, as a result of the zionist experiment just like the nazi experiment, are too dead to be offended.
German ‘Ayran’ Nation Jewish ‘Jewish’ Nation..same difference.
Ouch!
;D
In the end, those of us who want to argue against Zionism have to argue on basis of what Zionism is, not of what it is like. So comparisons with Nazism (or anything else) can’t be strictly essential.
But the bad and the good things are in all of us, surely, in you, in me. Bad ideologies can get a grip on any group of people and it can’t be surprising if bad ideologies have things in common with each other. Even if good and bad become hard to distinguish in some tight corners.
not surprising. the kind of casual sustained brutality that is Israel’s bread and butter just doesn’t happen naturally. it requires pressure from above for it to happen.
There are many different comments on Max’s blog, sometimes I prefer the simplest ones because they get to the point quickly –
“PeteInWI says:

This differs from Kristallnacht how?”
Not so much glass broken? More homes and shops demolished or taken over?
Looks like a pogrom to me.
Israel’s Zio-Youth seem remarkably similar to a hate-indoctrinated youth group of recent history. Are we just condemned to reapeat the past?
This is how to incubate fascism. As the authorities know very well. An old eastern European idea that the Russian immigrants have only been too keen to reinforce. Lieberman is the future for Israel. Rational Judaism, if there is such a thing, should take heed of the warning signs and extricate itself from this project, unless it wants anti-Semitism to spread once again.
A fanatic over here, eventually creates a fanatic over there?
Their teachers seem to have skipped Hillel who warned about such vicious behavior, which seems to be becoming the norm in Israel, especially of concern because these are young people who hold the future in their hands.
“If I am only for myself, what am I?”
Their teachers encourage that hitler youthist behaviour, Les. It’s a mandatory part of the curriculum.
The indoctrination and mandatory doses of the ziorin begin soon after the children are able to walk.
“Trail of Tears” – America’s genocide of the Cherokee – all over again in Israel – as Jabotinsky prescribed, that to Zionist Jews, the Arabs were as the “red men” in America and should be treated so.
