I apologize, and don&#8217;t worry ChipNASA, you&#8217;re up next.<\/p>\n<p>Now, here&#8217;s VOV again with another essay, this one on the disturbing trend of antisemitism in the halls of government.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Veritas Omnia Vincit<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019ve been buried with work lately, a good thing so I\u2019ve not taken much time to write some thoughts down. However recent news about members of Congress discussing Israel and their thoughts on the history there have me once again somewhat saddened that we the people will conveniently ignore history to avoid being considered Islamophobic.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not a fan of most religions, but I\u2019m especially not a fan of Islam for a variety of reasons. I am also not much of a fan of people who willingly distort the truth or distort history to suit their purposes. We all make minor mistakes talking about ourselves or our perceptions of history, those I understand. However when someone (Representative Tlaib) says the get a comforting feeling when they consider their Palestinian ancestors gave up their homes and livelihoods to \u201cprovide a safe haven\u201d for Jews it\u2019s time for me to point out some basic flaws with that observation.<\/p>\n<p>The first and foremost flaw is that it\u2019s not true, the Arabs were eager collaborators with the Nazis during WW2. So eager in fact that the Mufti of Palestine at the time, Has Amin el-Hussein, met with both Hitler and Himmler to discuss their plan to wipe out the Jews of Palestine and eliminate the presence of the Brits as well. The Einsatzkommando was about to activate their plan as SS and SD officers were assigned and selected for the effort when the British fortuitously defeated the Afrika Korps at El Alamein. This forced the Nazis to shift their plan\u2019s start to Tunisia where it operated anti-Jewish policies for months. It was well known at the time that the Einsatzkommando was counting on full cooperation from the Arabs in rounding up Jews and exterminating them wholesale in Palestine as they had been doing all over the world under their final solution operations.<\/p>\n<p>The holocaust museum has an excellent book on this topic by Klaus-Michael Mallmann and Martin Cuppers that I\u2019ve taken liberties to quote from above. Their book indicates rather precisely how the Arab Middle East under a Nazi success would have looked, and that look would have been very grim indeed for all of the Jews in North Africa and especially those in Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>I am often asked why I so fervently support the nation of Israel in the Middle East since I\u2019m a heathen non-believer and the answer is simple for me, I not only have an uncle who survived the Polish death camps I have tremendous respect for those places in the world that are trying to establish a free people living under democratic principles. Israel has proven a continual ally for the United States, sometimes we are at odds as all friends will be at times but overall we believe in the same basic principles. Those principles are not to be found in the Muslim world among any current or previous Muslim nation. Islam as practiced throughout the history of man has never been a principled religion that respects and tolerates the rights of the individual over the group belief system. In fact Islam suppresses the rights of individuals, especially women and minority populations wherever it exists often with murderous consequences.<\/p>\n<p>When members of our Congress, the nation that provided the manpower and material to defeat the Nazis and their Rising Sun counterparts, rise to defend a Muslim member who is clearly speaking in Anti-semitic tones using lies while doing so it is for me a truly sad state of affairs for our nation and the party those members belong to in this day and age. Bigotry is bigotry, even if the perpetrator is a Muslim congressional member. Pretending the Palestinians were a noble defender of Jewish people during WW2 is to lie to the world using the United States Congress as a podium to do so. It\u2019s not racist to point out she is a liar, she is absolutely incorrect about the events that happened and that she is clearly anti-semitic. The truth is not bigotry, the truth is simply what\u2019s real and nothing she\u2019s said is real or truthful regarding that moment in time.<\/p>\n<p>Her actions and those of her fellow newcomer point out once again for me that this particular religion seems completely incompatible with basic principles of these United States. It makes me wonder what kind of voters put a lying sack of shit who hates Jews and doesn\u2019t believe in the United States founding principles into to office to represent them. It makes me wonder about the politics of those rising to defend her remarks and attack the President for calling her out on her lies.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m all in as an American, there\u2019s no room for half measures in being a citizen. It\u2019s becoming clearer to me with each passing day that far too many of our fellow Americans don\u2019t understand that simple reality. This American experiment isn\u2019t for those who lack a full commitment to it, if your religion prevents you from participating fully you don\u2019t really belong here. That goes for Muslims and Christians who can\u2019t fully support the basic premise of these United States. We can certainly argue about the direction of the nation today, but if we are not in agreement about the basic principles of tolerance for those who are different from us I\u2019m not certain we have a long and prosperous future ahead of us.<\/p>\n<p>Let me know why I\u2019m wrong, as always I welcome your criticisms.<br \/>\nVoV<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks, V. Another thought provoking essay, and let me help-<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It makes me wonder what kind of voters put a lying sack of shit who hates Jews and doesn\u2019t believe in the United States founding principles into to office to represent them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I think you&#8217;ve answered your own question, V. It&#8217;s the Marion Barry syndrome, a phrase perhaps more well known to us close to D.C., where regardless of the candidate&#8217;s well known faults, they get elected and re-elected. To the point of ridiculousness. Why? They are indeed representing their constituents, and that is the scary part.<br \/>\nAW1  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Gonna impeach that MF&#8217;er!&#8221; Our own Veritas Omnia Vincit is back, well, was back; I&#8217;ve been &hellip; <a title=\"Islamic members of Congress and anti-semitism\u2026\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=87076\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Islamic members of Congress and anti-semitism\u2026<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[213,332,5,169],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-your-tax-dollars-at-work","category-guest-post","category-politics","category-religion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=87076"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87076\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87096,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87076\/revisions\/87096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=87076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=87076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=87076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
