| How Israel-hating rulers ruin a country |
| 2019-12-08 |
| [IsraelNationalNews] Countries gone to the bad through hating Israel can fill a page, but how does it work? Rulers hate a slither of a Jewish homeland, and a whole country goes up in smoke? Who or what turns the screws and afflicts: God or man? In anyone’s book such a claim is a strange, if not spurious one to make. Yet I have made the claim that a prosperous country at the tip of Africa went to wrack and ruin, and that an anti-Israel record played no small part. IMO, it's a package deal - whose who hate civilization (for not being perfect), also hate Jews ...In the words of Hannah Arendt, the great scholar on totalitarianism, the Final Solution was not a part of Germany’s war effort; instead it was fully equal to the effort. The German high command thought nothing of diverting resources needed for victory to the higher priority of putting "cockroaches" to death. Operation Barbarossa was a turning down point. Trains needed to keep the army going were diverted to transport Jews to death camps. Hitler let his troops perish in the Russian winter so that trains to the gas chambers would continue to run and oven chimneys continue to smoke. ...To look for self-defeating behaviour at work we don’t have to go back to ages past. And there is nothing like trouble over public access to water to bring out behaviour of the worst kind. In 2019, touring the Eastern Cape I encountered towns and trendy resorts with this trouble. The government blamed drought. Residents who knew better blamed comrades out of their depth who’d got winks and nods from higher comrades to run town councils. Israel stepped up to the plate. The ambassador put Israeli know-how for desalination and other fresh water solutions at the disposal of dry towns. He might have saved breath. Political leaders would rather leave them dry and dying if the alternative meant getting into bed with Isaac’s seed. ...In her book World on Fire, Amy Chua argues that ethnic hatred will always be directed by the host society against a minority that fares well. Three conditions must be met: [1] The hated group must be a minority or people will fear to attack it. Nowadays it doesn't have to be a minority --- look an anti-white/anti-male discrimination in USA. [2] It must be successful or people will not envy it. [3] It must be conspicuous or the majority will fail to notice the group. Isaac fitted all three. That is why the Philistines hated him. Israel fits all three. That is why most member states of the UN hate it. The global community disputes with a minority of one ‐ an Isaac ‐ who grew its flocks and dug its wells and made itself mightier than it had the right to do. The bearded, bookish, landless wanderer had no business turning into a conspicuous juggernaut winning wars and starting up many tech enterprises. As day follows night, anger and hate follow envy. And where hate incapacitates the faculty to reason and make sane choices, there we find self-destructive rulers, countries and cause groups on the road to wrack and ruin. |

| #6 It's very simple, really. Nothing economic, political or sociological about it. If you are someone whose very existence is an affront to Gawd, if He's simply decided you are not worth having in the universal register - you will hate Israel. You may not even be able to explain it. You may go to church, whine over candles and kiss the Pope's pinkie every year. If you hate Israel, you are cosmically screwed.  Surprisingly easy to make own gifs, good that. |

| #1 In SAfrica and Venezuela socialism was more of a cause of economic collapse. It was coincidental that the top dogs were also Israel haters. In Iran Islam was the principal cause with Israel hatred a tangential |
