What’s with the Jews?

Any Jews reading this will likely think, or rationalize it, as an anti-Jewish rant and that the author is racist against Jews. Not so. I raised my children to be critical thinkers and always question people’s behaviour not the person themselves. Try to understand why people do what they do and judge them. Yes judge. If what you see doesn’t make sense, you might like to avoid them.

To the point, why are Jews making terrorists on their border. Why are they making a whole new generation of Palestinian children from Gaza into potential and future terrorists? Is it perhaps a Stockholm affect whereby they somehow admire the oppressive tactics of their nemesis, the Nazis. I just don’t get it. Are they collectively that dumb? Witness their over-the-top reaction to the Palestinians in Gaza. Showing little restraint by killing so many civilians, especially children here makes no sense. There is no justification for killing children, who most of us are taught to protect. I was under the impression that Jews were an intelligent group of people, perhaps more so than most. Many have excelled individually in their contributions to society. But collectively, they seem to be not all there. Give them a State and look what happens!

It’s hard for me to understand how putting this religious state into an arab area after the 2nd world war was a good idea. Israel does not separate the state from the church like most civilized and developed countries do today. Most Arab countries here do not either, Turkey being the exception. So, what’s with that?  Is this why, as a country, they’re so messed up.  They appear to be acting somewhat like the southern States, that will not teach evolution but rather Intelligent Design. Also, why are their more Jews in the United States than in Israel, if this homeland is such a great idea?  What was the world thinking?  Guilt?  Is that why the US is still feeding militarily this failed state.

My first experience with a jewish person was when I was boarding in a house in my first year at university in Waterloo, Ontario. He was studying engineering at the University and I was in science. As Waterloo has many Germans the house we boarded at was owned by an old German lady. This student and his landlord just could not get along. The mutual hatred was palpable. Coming from Northern Ontario it was the first time I’d been exposed to this irrational racist behaviour. 

He and I did engage in many lively debates. One centred on his English Mini that he drove. I made the mistake of telling him I thought that the Volkswagen was probably a better made car and I was surprised, that as an engineering student, he could not see that.  Of course his reasoning, or lack of it, was totally emotional against anything German. He was still fighting the battle of his parents. "Never Forget", was so ingrained in his upbringing, I could see it was useless to engage further with him.

For many, emotion and conditioning, override any sense of reasoning.  So it seems has occurred in the middle east.
