Arab Jews in Bahrain
03 Shaban 1426AH

There are Arab Jews in Bahrain. There goes the Zionist projec [...]

You are right in some small way – I often hear the comfortable and privileged “champions of democracy” bagging Zionism in left wing forum (IRL and on the net) and rarely are they questioned. I can’t pretend to speak for anyone else, but I can wonder if this is in part because Judaism (and Zionism does spring from Judaism even if not all jewish are zionist) is not really a religion that encourages people to go out and convert others. It is perhaps, in many ways, passive (in some ways maybe even a religion of passive resistance) while at the same time only too aware it is perceived by some others as the thorn in Christianities crown. You might say, that jews have learnt to keep their complaints to themselves. In this light it is unsurprising perhaps that others still, you might like to call them jewish extremists (I write that with a degree of satire I am not sure comes across very well) have questioned past passivism, and where it lead, and have chosen instead to take up arms. As you say, Palestinians and Israelis might have more in common then you might think.

(Bt, noticed you deleted the interim comment between my two previous ones).

In fact a recent discussion between me and a Jewish friend, I can to understand that there are two different type of zionists. Unfortunately the extremist one is what we all know about.

maybe you can enlighten us of the other side. I’m sure they may help a little to establish a base for constructive conversation.

After all, extremist are rejected by all. Being an Islamists one or Jewish one or anyone else.

I think we have a listen here to learn. Assuming that the other side knows all what you are talking about is wrong. In this case, Zionism is the critical topics, yet, I don’t see real attempt from the Jewish side to represent it in proper way, specially that now it is evident that each side seems to miss something about the other side.

How so much does that sound like someone saying “well yesterday Islam was ok but in our time it is all about 9-11″.

Interminable irony, I bet you support fighting for rights don’t you – oh yes, so long as it’s your own.

These are my understandings; Zion is a concept rather then a place, invented by people with no place. It is a sort of dream haven for the disenfranchised. A bit like the internet was supposed to be once, where all people of loss are welcome, regardless of origin. It was a kind of escape route for the mind, and many who dreamed it were what you might call “secular”, not especially orthodox, and perhaps a little rebellious. It’s just miserable that the original ideal has been twisted and warped by people higher up the chain who seem to have forgotten what it’s all about, and by people lower down the chain who so easily learn to fear what they are told to. And everyone in the middle gets squished into hushing up about it, for fear of retribution.

I get depressed everytime the topic is raised.

Not to forget that you did and are still doing the same and more to Palestinians.

Maybe you will benefit from reading: http://www.palestineremembered.com/index.html 

Jews were not wanted in Europe after the bolchevick revolution, the Balfour treaty in 1917 solved just that problem by appointing a territory occupied by the British as a land of refuge for Jewish refugees.

What it has done over the years is create an abyss between the only 2 people of this world of semitic origin.

Many ashkenazims conveniently forget this and try to make up for it by focusing their views and those of others on fallacies. But don’t kid yourself, Arab, jews, Christians and muslilms are not easily duped like the majority of westerners who onnly fund your deeds so that they can get rid of you.

After all the far right is not an arab invention and nor was the spanish inquisition.

Respect, courtesy and consideration without highlighting the difference in faith but rather our rich cultural heritage.

We readily forget, that Bahrain was on the map of the world long before Rome was even a thought in anyone’s mind.

Why is it that western media never speaks of these facts instead of adding unecessary fuel to the present fires.

It makes one understand the perspective of western media, with a main scope not to inform but rather to destroy through biased and malicious syndication.

Bahrain, you make me proud!
