Why do they hate the Jewish state so much?
Candace Owens has come out to write that there will never be peace in the world as long as Israel exists. That’s quite an accusation. There seemed to be some lack of peace in the 1940s before Israel was established. Maybe that was just the Jews before they could get reorganized into a state structure and cause even more problems.
Let’s imagine that the Jews buy Mars from Elon Musk and we all move there to avoid further Iranian rockets. What happens then? As I have written before, just as there has never been a state of “Palestine” (and the British-run Mandate doesn’t count, just as Bella Hadid doesn’t know how to), there would be no Palestine in the future. Sure, whatever clown is at the head of the Palestinian Authority (PA) would declare a state as soon as the last Jews grabbed a rocket and headed to Mars-Israel. But that ersatz state would last about 10 minutes. Jordan would dash to retake Jerusalem, while Syria would grab the north down to Haifa. The Egyptians would come barreling up through the south to take Tel Aviv and the coast. So, you’d have about a decade of the Palestinians and these three countries fighting over borders. Israel disappearing would not bring peace to the Levant.
But let’s look at other less peaceful places in the world. Russia-Ukraine doesn’t really have anything to do with Israel, though I am sure that Tucker Carlson and Candace can find some definitive link. Muslims taking over Europe, which may well lead to civil war between the dwindling local whites and the growing immigrant population, also has nothing to do with Israel. The violence seen from blacks and illegal immigrants in the U.S. that oftentimes leads to “senseless” deaths of American citizens also cannot find a direct link with Israel. So Owens’ premise that Israel vanishing would make the world a better place seems to have no legs. So why does she want to get rid of Israel? And isn’t that kind of genocidey to say such a thing—we need to get rid of the 10 million residents of Israel for there to be peace? Say that about some African country or Gaza and see how long before the fat UN head puts down his Subway sandwich and demands a censure of you from the Security Council.

The reason why so many hate Israel, Israelis, and Jews has nothing to do with the formation and existence of the Jewish state. Jews purchased large tracts of lands in the Ottoman-held Land of Israel. You can still find pictures of Tel Aviv as a mound of sand just north of Jaffa’s port. The supposedly “native” Palestinians are mostly comprised of descendants of Arabs who came to the Jewish-held areas as they were being brought back to life in cities, kibbutzim, and moshavim by Jews who had returned to the land of their forefathers. Israel won a defensive war against a much larger combined army of Arab states; many states are formed through war, like the USA. Modern Israel’s claim to the land is purchase and victory in war, not what’s written in the Torah, though the locations match up. I remember walking through King Hezekiah’s water tunnel, exactly as described in the Prophets. And I saw with my own two eyes the place where the plaque commemorating the meeting up of the two digging parties (like Promontory Point in Utah where in 1869 the two railroads met up to make cross-country rail travel possible) was before the Turks squirreled it off to Istanbul.
The reason that certain groups of Muslims and Christians have a problem with Israel and the Jews is that in their mind, their religions cannot allow for the continued existence of a Jewish state and possibly the Jewish people. Do you remember when Barack Obama went to Egypt to effectively apologize for the U.S. treatment of Muslims? Where did he go immediately after his pathetic speech? Israel is just a quick plane ride away. But he went to Dachau—because dead Jews are beloved and treasured. Dead Jews make no noise, cause no problems, start or finish no wars. There are many who love dead Jews, and the biggest traffic jam I have ever seen in Jerusalem was on the day when a lot of “world leaders” came to town to celebrate the renovated Yad Vashem Holocaust museum. How fully we can embrace and appreciate dead Jews. They look so good in those pictures and we don’t have to hear their kvetching. Live Jews are their problem, and the growth and success of the modern state of Israel seems to drive certain branches of Christianity and Islam up a tree. Obviously, most Christians seem very happy with their religion and feel no animosity toward Jews or Israel. The same may be said of some Muslims, like those running the UAE. But we have seen people like Owens, Carlson, and Carrie Prejean express a hatred of Israel which they don’t seem to direct toward any other people or country.
Doesn’t China enslaving Uighurs merit nightly condemnation? What about Russia trying to take Urkaine? How about Australia, New Zealand, and England significantly reducing free speech by punishing people for their online comments? Nothing. Only Israel gets the daily negative treatment. Those protesting for Hamas (rapists and murderers) got going for Hezbollah, then Iran and now with a rickety ceasefire, are going back to protesting for Hezbollah (murdered a lot of Americans). Anything that is anti-Israel is kosher and good, even if one supports the worst of the worst. Carlson claimed that the holy Book of Esther details the “genocide” of 75,000 Persians, when in reality, the evil Haman wanted to wipe the entire Jewish people off the face of the Earth. In being given permission by the reigning king to fight for their lives, yes, they killed 75,000 people throughout all of the kingdom. But don’t the Jews also get to enjoy the right of self-defense, whether in the days of Queen Esther or when taking apart Hamas and Hezbollah, both of which have declared their goal to wipe the Jews off the face of the Earth? For today’s Jew haters, Jews enjoy no right to self-defense.
As long as there are Jews, there will be Jew haters. The more pathetic of them will couch their hatred in anti-Israel or anti-Zionism rhetoric. “Me, I don’t hate Jews. I almost ran one over yesterday but swerved out of the way. But those Israelis. As long as they exist, there will be no peace in the world!” When Hitler’s Brownshirts did a lot of damage on Kristallnacht, the German insurance executives told Herman Goering that they were going to go broke covering the damaged Jewish businesses. No worries! Goering put a one billion mark tax on the Jewish community to pay for the mess that they had made. On Octobern 8, 2023, the day after the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and before the IDF began its response, signs in the U.S. accused Israel of genocide. See, as long as there are Jews, they are to be blamed.
We are fortunate that we have many honest friends in the non-Jewish world, none bigger and more sincere than Donald Trump. Losers like Carlson and Joe Rogan will be rich but worthless. Their combined intelligence could be put in a can of tuna with a lot of room left for the oil added prior to closing. The Jewish people have faced their ilk for generations. The bad guys all vanished from history. And the same will be true for Megyn Kelly and the present generation of Jew Haters R Us.
