1. "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun” Ecclesiastes 1:9
2. That certainly could apply to the themes from the bloodthirsty 7th Century religion that will never be satisfied until they have slaughtered any who differ in even the slightest way from their 'beliefs.'
Well.....there is one startling difference today from past ravages......
....I'll get to that.
3. August 23-24, 1929 Riots in Palestine of 1929: 18 Jews in Safed, 67 in Hebron, and 22 in Jerusalem killed by Arab Palestinians.
The riots took the form, for the most part, of attacks by Arabs on Jews accompanied by destruction of Jewish property. During the week of riots, from 23 to 29 August, 133 Jews were killed by Arabs, and 339 Jews were injured, most of whom were unarmed. (Wikipedia)
4. The promise of a Jewish homeland was memorialized in the Balfour Declaration, but supported by a wide variety of backers. From David Lloyd Georges’ “Memoirs,” p. 724-726: “The Germans were, therefore, engaged actively in courting favour with that [Zionist] Movement… urged, early in 1916, the advantages of promising Jewish restoration to Palestine under an arrangement to be made between Zionists and Turkey, backed by a German guarantee.”
a. This was met with riots and massacres in Palestine in 1920, 1921 as Muslims refused to consider any arrangement which gave Jews an equality in the area.
5. Under sharia, Jews could pray at the Wailing Wall—the last remnant of the Temple—only quietly and never sit, even in the heat. Nor were Jews allowed to separate men from women during prayer: the wall was only available for Jewish visitation with permission and under strict guidelines that would not connote independent worship or ownership of the Wall. In 1928, on Yom Kippur, Jews decided to bring benches and chairs to sit while they prayed, resulting in bloody massacres. On August 15 1929, when Jews again marked a holiday by sitting, and also chanted “the Wall is ours,” the Arabs began yet another in a series of bloody massacres. The massacres in several cities culminated in unspeakable atrocities at Hebron.
6. On August 23 and 24, 1929, Hebron became a bloody nightmare. House to house, Arab mobs went, bursting into every room looking for hiding Jews. Religious books and scrolls were burned or torn to shreds. The defenseless Jews were variously beheaded, castrated, their breasts and fingers sliced off, and in some cases their eyes plucked from their sockets. Infant or adult, man or woman—it mattered not. The carnage went on for hours, with the Arab policemen standing down—or joining in. Blood ran in streamlets down the narrow stone staircases outside the buildings. House to house, room by room, the savagery was repeated.
a. Not a single victim was simply killed. Each was mutilated and tortured in accordance with their identities, the specific information provided by local Arabs. The Jewish man who lent money to Arabs was sliced open and the IOUs burned in his body. The Jewish baker’s head was tied to the stove and then baked. A Jewish scholar who had studied Koranic philosophy for years was seized, his cranium cut open, and his brain extracted. Another man was nailed to a door. Some sixty-seven Jews were brutally murdered.
This was the state of relations- long before Hitler ever gained power. Rather than an anomaly, this was one a along line of ongoing massacres.
Of course it is still going on....October 7th.
Know what the big difference is today?
