I was a very young child when cousins who helped found the Zionist state visited us in NYC in the 1950's. That is what I remember, that in the early 30's when they arrived, the local people were kind. My mother's cousin, a Russian medical doctor, was supposed to have been on a bus with hospital workers in 1948. The bus was bombed and everyone murdered. It makes me sick to see how gullible Americans are to the Lie but I think that hating Jews and hating Israel, and Jewish "guilt" is part of a collective unconscious. It is the only way I can understand the brazen insidious evil of Islamism and its encroachment on the American psyche.
I find the protection and acceptance of Jews in Egypt during WWII as compared to the Palestinian Muftis begging Hitler to exterminate Jews in Palestine, or as compared to the Arab revolt in '48 to be remarkable. Even my mother's cousins were baffled by the rising hatred because the local people in Palestine were exceptionally kind and helpful to the Zionists in the 1930's - at least the ones with whom they interacted.
Dr. Tema Weißbrot, the wife of my mother's uncle, was a Russian born medical doctor who escaped being blown up in 1948 on a busload of other hospital workers, blown to bits by Arab terrorists.
As a convert to Protestant Christianity and a historian at heart, I take the broadest views possible of any historical record and the hatred of Jews has a mysterious quality. It is hard to imagine that the human genome carries hatred and jealousy forward from Isaac and Ishmael, or to comprehend the virulence of the anti-semitism in America from people who have not lifted a finger to protest anything since the U.S. flew out of Saigon in 1975. Even the 1960's /70's Black Power Movement's claims that Jewish shop owners in Harlem were the cause of the plight of African Americans would be hilarious if the stupidity and ignorance were not tragic.
"local people in Palestine were exceptionally kind and helpful to the Zionists in the 1930's"
Would that include the 1929 Hebron Massacre, the 1936 Arab Revolt when hundreds of Jews were butchered? Or is it the sole Palestinian leader, Haj Amin al-Husseini, whose admiration for the Nazis led him to spend the war in Berlin, where his friendship with Himmler produced a promise that a group "from Eichmann's department" would follow German troops after the conquest of Egypt and Palestine?
No one familiar with the Middle East would talk about friendly relations with Palestinians after 1918 and the defeat of Turkey.
