Jewish terrorists and the lies about them

From: https://quotesgram.com/famous-hitler-quotes-on-jews/

All the mantras have been rehearsed. Terror is terror. These are very dangerous kids. And now: Jewish terror is worse than Arab terror. If you don’t live here, this must confuse you. But most people who live in Israel understand easily how this is all nonsense.

“Terrorism is terrorism”

Politicians have fallen over each other declaring again that terror is terror, whomever commits it. Not true.

A large majority of Arabs in Israel finds it hard to condemn terror against Jews. The reasons are diverse. It’s hard not to be loyal to one’s own. Most people in the world have the nationality virus. It might be dangerous to speak out against them. I don’t blame them for shutting up. When angry, it’s hard to stand up for principles. But that not all Arabs in Israel are eager to kill shows in daily life when Jews and Muslims travel and work side by side without any problems. Arab Palestinians are understandably ambivalent about their terrorists.

But almost unanimously, Jews in Israel condemn Jewish terrorism. That’s why house demolition of family of Arab murderers are meant to deter and of Jewish ones will not – as confirmed by the humanistic High Court. It makes a difference if a Jew or an Arab was the murderer. Also because all Jews are trained not to murder (see below) and so should know better. And Jews are still more powerful inside Israel and so to kill someone in the minority group is more despicable. But Jews are more prone to talk with hatred against (other) Jews – the infamous self-hatred. So don’t believe everything an angry Jew says about Jews or Judaism.

“Jews are nothing special”

Jews murder less. That seems true the world over but is not so engraved in our DNA that we couldn’t. So, Jews teach every generation anew that murder is about the worst thing one can do. It needs to be taught over and over again. Angry Jews don’t murder – they damage property. Education against murder works, but only for one generation. (And enough intoxication or indoctrination for murder undoes it quickly.) Jewish murderers are the exceptions that confirm the rule.

“The Israeli Secret Service found …”

Most army and intelligence workers in the world, and especially their bosses, are rightwing the world over. Except in Israel. Read about a general in Israel who enters politics, just ask how far leftwing he is – not if he is. And spy agencies can declare all bad they want about Jews – it normally needs to be taken with a grain (or truckload) of salt as they strangely but normally are extremely pro-Palestinians and extreme critics of Jews. They are typically suspected of being anti-Jewish. They have a special section for Jewish suspects and it has bad name.

Arab terror suspects have advocates looking out for them – and rightly so. But Jewish terror suspects have all the authorities going against them and only can hope for judges and public opinion to protect them – even when they’re young kids. It’s hard to believe and therefore I point it out.

Arab terrorists are not tortured unless they’re suspected of knowing of a ticking bomb. Not only is torture inhuman – it’s stupid. More is divulged by befriending someone than hurting him. Hurting him may even lead to false “confessions.” But Jewish suspects of terror report all the time having been tortured. So much so that the PM must deny it.

I know of teenage Jew in Israel, son of friends of mine, who hung out with the wrong crowd and was put in solitary detention by the secret service convincing the judge time and again that he was a super-dangerous terrorist. Sweet kid who wouldn’t harm a fly. Really. He was silently let go after almost a year of confinement. His parents were advised not to raise a public storm – to hasten his release. And it worked. Within six months of the secret service finally finding out he was not dangerous at all, that is. How awful! A year taken out of your young life with no recourse and no compensation.

“Jewish terrorists are worse”

This novelty comes from a general. He’s not sure that Israel has a right to exist if we produced Jewish terrorists. So he pleads for strengthening the secret service. Even if this report is half-exaggerated, it’s still telling.

That the victim was killed, possibly by Jews, is a terrible thing.

About the Author

MM is a prolific and creative writer and thinker, previously a daily blog contributor to the TOI. He often makes his readers laugh, mad, or assume he's nuts—close to perfect blogging. He's proud that his analytical short comments are removed both from left-wing and right-wing news sites. None of his content is generated by the new bore on the block, AI. * As a frontier thinker, he sees things many don't yet. He's half a prophet. Half. Let's not exaggerate. Or not at all because he doesn't claim G^d talks to him. He gives him good ideas—that's all. MM doesn't believe that people observe and think in a vacuum. He, therefore, wanted a broad bio that readers interested can track a bit what (lack of) backgrounds, experiences, and educations contribute to his visions. * This year, he will prioritize getting his unpublished books published rather than just blog posts. Next year, he hopes to focus on activism against human extinction. To find less-recent posts on a subject XXX among his over 2000 archived ones, go to the right-top corner of a Times of Israel page, click on the search icon and search "zuiden, XXX". One can find a second, wilder blog, to which one may subscribe too, here: https://mmvanzuiden.wordpress.com/ or by clicking on the globe icon next to his picture on top. * Like most of his readers, he believes in being friendly, respectful, and loyal. However, if you think those are his absolute top priorities, you might end up disappointed. His first loyalty is to the truth. He will try to stay within the limits of democratic and Jewish law, but he won't lie to support opinions or people when don't deserve that. (Yet, we all make honest mistakes, which is just fine and does not justify losing support.) He admits that he sometimes exaggerates to make a point, which could have him come across as nasty, while in actuality, he's quite a lovely person to interact with. He holds - how Dutch - that a strong opinion doesn't imply intolerance of other views. * Sometimes he's misunderstood because his wide and diverse field of vision seldomly fits any specialist's box. But that's exactly what some love about him. He has written a lot about Psychology (including Sexuality and Abuse), Medicine (including physical immortality), Science (including basic statistics), Politics (Israel, the US, and the Netherlands, Activism - more than leftwing or rightwing, he hopes to highlight reality), Oppression and Liberation (intersectionally, for young people, the elderly, non-Whites, women, workers, Jews, LGBTQIA+, foreigners and anyone else who's dehumanized or exploited), Integrity, Philosophy, Jews (Judaism, Zionism, Holocaust and Jewish Liberation), the Climate Crisis, Ecology and Veganism, Affairs from the news, or the Torah Portion of the Week, or new insights that suddenly befell him. * Chronologically, his most influential teachers are his parents, Nico (natan) van Zuiden and Betty (beisye) Nieweg, Wim Kan, Mozart, Harvey Jackins, Marshal Rosenberg, Reb Shlomo Carlebach, and, lehavdil bein chayim lechayim, Rabbi Dr. Natan Lopes Cardozo, Rav Zev Leff, and Rav Meir Lubin. This short list doesn't mean to disrespect others who taught him a lot or a little. One of his rabbis calls him Mr. Innovation [Ish haChidushim]. Yet, his originalities seem to root deeply in traditional Judaism, though they may grow in unexpected directions. In fact, he claims he's modernizing nothing. Rather, mainly basing himself on the basic Hebrew Torah text, he tries to rediscover classical Jewish thought almost lost in thousands of years of stifling Gentile domination and Jewish assimilation. (He pleads for a close reading of the Torah instead of going by rough assumptions of what it would probably mean and before fleeing to Commentaries.) This, in all aspects of life, but prominently in the areas of Free Will, Activism, Homosexuality for men, and Redemption. * He hopes that his words will inspire and inform, and disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. He aims to bring a fresh perspective rather than harp on the obvious and familiar. When he can, he loves to write encyclopedic overviews. He doesn't expect his readers to agree. Rather, original minds should be disputed. In short, his main political positions are among others: anti-Trumpism, for Zionism, Intersectionality, non-violence, anti those who abuse democratic liberties, anti the fake ME peace process, for original-Orthodoxy, pro-Science, pro-Free Will, anti-blaming-the-victim, and for down-to-earth, classical optimism, and happiness. Read his blog on how he attempts to bridge any tensions between those ideas or fields. * He is a fetal survivor of the pharmaceutical industry (https://diethylstilbestrol.co.uk/studies/des-and-psychological-health/), born in 1953 to his parents who were Dutch-Jewish Holocaust survivors who met in the largest concentration camp in the Netherlands, Westerbork. He grew up a humble listener. It took him decades to become a speaker too, and decades more to admit to being a genius. But his humility was his to keep. And so was his honesty. Bullies and con artists almost instantaneously envy and hate him. He hopes to bring new things and not just preach to the choir. * He holds a BA in medicine (University of Amsterdam) – is half a doctor. He practices Re-evaluation Co-counseling since 1977, is not an official teacher anymore, and became a friendly, powerful therapist. He became a social activist, became religious, made Aliyah, and raised three wonderful kids. Previously, for decades, he was known to the Jerusalem Post readers as a frequent letter writer. For a couple of years, he was active in hasbara to the Dutch-speaking public. He wrote an unpublished tome about Jewish Free Will. He's a strict vegan since 2008. He's an Orthodox Jew but not a rabbi. * His writing has been made possible by an allowance for second-generation Holocaust survivors from the Netherlands. It has been his dream since he was 38 to try to make a difference by teaching through writing. He had three times 9-out-of-10 for Dutch at his high school finals but is spending his days communicating in English and Hebrew - how ironic. G-d must have a fine sense of humor. In case you wonder - yes, he is a bit dyslectic. If you're a native English speaker and wonder why you should read from people whose English is only their second language, consider the advantage of having an original peek outside of your cultural bubble. * To send any personal reaction to him, scroll to the top of the blog post and click Contact Me. * His newest books you may find here: https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3AMoshe-Mordechai%2FMaurits+van+Zuiden&s=relevancerank&text=Moshe-Mordechai%2FMaurits+van+Zuiden&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1
