Nobody deserves abuse and that's the point of any Arab which points to the scriptures I cited in regard to Jews eating children...which is often misconstrued as a charge of "blood libel", as is much of anti-Israel sentiment being construed as "anti-semitism" when it isn't.
I am missing something here.
WHAT is the
POINT of an Arab [or anyone else] who cites the Hebrew Bible while accusing Jews of murdering children in order to use their blood to make matzah?
And, correct me if I'm wrong, but Mr. al-Odeh was talking about
JEWS. Is that right?
Tall tales get told about all kinds of people in power, which is where the word "libel" originates (France, in regard to vicarious novelettes about alleged scandals among nobility and royalty). What makes these stories stick, though? Some do, some don't. I'm saying a record, especially one regarded as sacred record--could very well be one significant element of the glue.
This particular "tale" is of Christian origin, not Muslim, as is the "tale" of
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The Arabs took their cues from both about a century ago. Am I understanding correctly that you think this is OK?
Tribal animosities are, well, tribal--as in archaic. None of us will be part of a civilized species until we leave the tribe behind to the dust of history and move forward.
That is a beautiful sentiment. How, exactly, is it supposed to be applied to the activities of Messrs. al-Odeh and Ahmadnijihad?
