Here's a head-teaser: What exactly is anti-Palestinian
racism? The repugnance most normal people feel when
confronted with unruly mobs waving Palestinian flags
while belittling, slandering, isolating and threatening
Jews? If so, it is a reaction well earned by ongoing
raucous, demeaning gatherings clogging city streets
interrupting Christmas markets, campaigning in front
of Jewish parochial schools and old age homes to harass
and frighten children and the elderly in sociopathic
eruptions of hate known as antisemitism. Jews you
see, are a race and what Palestinians have brought to
bear is racial discrimination leavened with viral rage.
Palestinians, on the other hand, are not a race. They
are Arabs from the Middle East who converged on
an ancient Judean landscape to claim it as their very
own heritage, adamantly refusing to recognize Israel
or its willingness to share the land in peace with those
who call themselves Palestinians adept at violence
against their hated Jewish neighbours while nursing their
victimhood, exporting it internationally to convince
others tinged with the primal curse of Jew-hate to
join their crusade to obliterate Jewish life both in
the diaspora and in Israel -- and to confront them with
the charge of conscienceless disrupters of the social
weal is to expose oneself to Islamophobia charges.
