Netanyahu: Palestinian terrorism not motivated by despair

Prime minister says Arabs’ frustration caused not by their inability to build but their inability to destroy Israel

ed note–Netanyahu’s statement is just an extension/manifestation of Judaic thought in general. Jews never see a correlation between their own criminal, aberrant behavior and the blowback that results from it. Rather than recognizing the fact that misappropriately named ‘anti-Semitism’ is a simple law of physics, in that for every action there is and equal and opposite reaction, it is blamed instead  on a myriad of other factors–envy, irrational hatred, poor developmental training, etc, some Judaic ‘intellectuals’ having gone so far as to say that hatred of Jews is due to something having gone wrong when children were learning to use the toilet.

And this gets to the kernel of the matter–Judaic narcissism/Judaic self-worship. When you have a group of people who adhere to a mindset that they are ‘GAAAAWD’S chosen people’ and a ‘light amongst the nations’ and all the ‘For you are a holy people unto the LORD thy God and He has chosen you to be a special people above all others upon the face of the earth’ nonsense found in their Torah, how can they be expected to look themselves in the mirror and rightly diagnose that all the misery that has befallen them over the centuries is due to their own criminal, aberrant behavior? 

The difference now of course is that these people–completely detached from reality as they are–are not just some inconsequential tribe of ne’er -do-wells acting as merely a minor nuisance on the rest of civilized, Gentile society–They own the world’s money, the world’s governments (minus a few) and are armed to the teeth with hundreds of nuclear weapons.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said attempts to explain Palestinian terrorism as motivated by despair were “incorrect.” Terror attacks, he said, “don’t come because of their despair and the frustration over the inability to build. They come because of their despair and the frustration over inability to destroy.”

He took issue with the desperation claim, saying it “exonerates the Palestinians from being responsible for their actions.” He noted that Arabs had attacked Jews in Israel “before the state was founded and afterwards, before there were territories and settlements and afterwards, when there was a peace process and when there wasn’t one.”

The prime minister was speaking at an event in honor of the late prime minister Yitzhak Shamir at Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem.

The premier added that much of the Palestinian violence against Israelis was a result of incitement. He noted that Arab attacks on Jews in Israel in the 1920s “started because of the claims of (Jerusalem’s grand mufti) Haj Amin al-Husseini, that the Jews were about to destroy the al-Aqsa Mosque and build the Third Temple in its stead. Sounds familiar? The incitement continues, and the waves of terror continue.”

Twenty-eight Israelis and three foreign nationals have been killed in a wave of Palestinian terrorism and violence since October. Nearly 170 Palestinians have also been killed, some two-thirds of them while attacking Israelis, and the rest during clashes with troops, according to the Israeli army.

Iran announced last week that it would offer assistance to families of those killed in the wave of Palestinian attacks. The Palestinian Authority has said direct financial assistance would be unacceptable, and called for such funding to be directed through the PA .

The day after Iran’s announcement, Israel denounced the decision, with Netanyahu saying it showed Tehran was “continuing to aid terrorism.” Netanyahu has also repeatedly accused the PA of helping to incite the current round of Palestinian terrorism.
