Reply To: Regarding the Draft

If the Arabs were so kind to the Jews, why did they turn on them so suddenly following zionism? After all, shouldn’t their kind hearts have understood that not all Jews believe the same things? 856,000 Jews were expelled from Arab lands. Where is the outcry over their Nakba? You just don’t care.

From 30 seconds online, I saw that Rabkin is praised by a whole host of anti-semitic French writers and that he is criticized by all real seekers of emes as being historically inaccurate.

If you actually cared about real history, you would have read Der Judenstaat, Herzl’s manifesto where he talks specifically about how anti-semitism influenced him and NOT, as you claim hatred of Judaism.

He writes: “We have sincerely tried everywhere to merge with the national communities in which we live, seeking only to preserve the faith of our fathers. It is not permitted us. In vain are we loyal patriots, sometimes superloyal; in vain do we make the same sacrifices of life and property as our fellow citizens.”
