Denazification
We began the Israel at War series in the Leader to present the truth about the war because it isn’t being told via mass media outlets. We wanted our neighbors to benefit from the truth as much as we do.
The truth is that like any hate around the world, hatred of Jews is taught from a young age, it’s indoctrinated into a culture, and the dire emergency of this particular hatred isn’t being shown in news reports. It simply seems to be accepted and explained away.
If we are to look at the truth, we see a video circulating on social media, of young Palestinian girls, obviously taught the song of violence they sing and dance to. The actual words they sing, translated from Arabic, are important to illustrate this point:
“Woe to him who considers me an enemy
We ignited the intifada with a stone and a knife
And we can challenge (our enemies)
Where are the Zionist and the soldier?
Who in the world can overcome me?
When I’m called ‘Palestinian.’”
Hatred is taught. It doesn’t just occur. Jews are living side-by-side with a culture who hates them and passes that hatred down generationally. The gravity of the situation is insurmountable, and it was manifested on October 7.
No other country wants the prisoners who were just released from Israeli jails as part of the hostage deal, as other countries are not oblivious to the threat that the Jihadist worldview poses. Jordan has expelled them; Egypt refuses them.
“To date, no Arab country has agreed to receive even a single released and expelled Palestinian prisoner,” a source from the Palestinian Prisoner Authority said.
Looking back in history, after World War II, denazification was an Allied initiative to rid German and Austrian society, culture, press, economy, judiciary, and politics of the Nazi ideology. For five years, the Allies worked tirelessly to bring denazification a culture.
The reeducation of an entire country was needed, though in all its complexities denazi-fication was never fully realized.
This, amidst the dire state that Germany was in after the war. The Potsdam Conference in the summer of 1945 ended with the Allies Declaration on Germany: “It is the intention of the Allies that the German people be given the opportunity to prepare for the eventual reconstruction of their life on a democratic and peaceful basis.”
Due to the complications posed by the Soviet Union, Potsdam was also the last Allied Conference.
Perhaps if the world had seen how destitute the German population was post-war, before it was depleted of Nazi ideology (there were food, clothing, and fuel shortages, and millions of people were homeless after the War), they may have wanted to bring in food trucks rather than send Nazis to trial.
Even in Palestine, WWII brought the internment of colonists with German citizenship by the British authorities in Bethlehem of Galilee (Israel compensated those people who had lost property and assets in 1962).
Iowa native, author, and historian, Dr. Luick-Thrams, oversees nonprofit and cultural centers in Germany, where he tells the story of the Scattergood Hostel in West Branch, Iowa, during the first half of WWII.
Iowans took in 185 European refugees who were escaping Hitler. Luick-Thrams suggests that this history lesson should be reflected upon today for its inspiring acts of positivity, kindness, and selflessness.
The refugees who Iowa helped then weren’t posing an unmistakable threat. They wanted to build new lives, they weren’t singing to celebrate death.
The Nameless One uses uncovered media to expose the ideology that has been passed down generationally among the population of Gaza.
He reveals, “Videos coming out of Gaza show both the shock of the Gazans from the devastation of the strip and also the unbreakable connection between the Palestinian society and the terrorists.”
He says that western thought separates civilians from terrorists, but that’s wrong. “It was wrong in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and it’s most definitely wrong in the ‘Palestinian Territories.’”
Then, the Nameless One says something key – and reminiscent of post WWII: “We are talking about fundamentally jihadist societies, especially the Gazans.”
I also wonder if the naivety of the West could in essence be denial.
After more than a decade as a totalitarian state, there were about 8 and a half million members of the Nazi Party post WII – indeed it was a cultural ideology and identity.
The entire mind-set had to be cleaned out in Germany in order to eradicate the Nazism from the population so there would never again be a resurgence of fascism.
The world has denazified once. The world really needs to do it again, but rather than ridding German and Austrian society of Nazi ideology, the world now needs to rid Palestinian society of Nazi ideology.
“Never again” is now; valuing life, rather than death.
