Mitchell Bard: The World's Thunderous Hypocrisy on the Palestinians

Mitchell Bard has here one of the most astute and compendiously accurate articles about the Palestinians I've ever read. The answer to the question of who cares about them is--Israeli and American Jews, and hardly anyone else.

    For decades there has been an international drumbeat of concern for the Palestinians, their victimhood, their     welfare and their human rights. But how much does the world really care about the Palestinians? We are learning     now they don’t care at all as Assad slaughters them in Syria.

    Where are the front-page headlines? Where are the UN condemnations? Where is the U.S. State Department?     Where are the sponsors of flotillas to bring aid to the refugees? Where are the campus protests? Where are the     Christian organizations? Where are the peace groups? Where are the pro-Palestinian organizations?

Read the whole thing, every sentence is valuable.

Hey David. There is no question in my mind, after more than 30 years of trying to explain the truth of the situation here, that the focus of "world" attention is NOT the "palestinians" but hatred of Jews in general and Israel in particular. I know that you know this, but I just wanted to exclaim it again (and again and again), even though most people I talk with either don't believe me or just don't care.

Right, Suzanne. You could try sending them Bard's article but from my experience such things have no effect. I'd just say that instead of hatred I think that in some cases it's something less extremeunhealthy fascination perhaps.
