Jews Must Never Be Dhimmis Again – Why Can’t We Say It?
It’s another post by Brian of London with a conclusion up front:
Jews must never be Dhimmis again and it would be nice if a leader of Israel would actually speak the true reason why we’re not going to be a minority in a Muslim country again. What have we got to lose, the whole Muslim world hates us anyway*?
We face a few big lies:
1. Israel is not Jewish. This comes from Islam which is a replacement theology. Moses was a Muslim who led all the Children of Israel (who were all Muslim) to the Promised Land (for the Muslims). I’m really not joking and when it’s not late on a Saturday I can provide references. Anytime a lying Imam trots out the verse that promises Israel to the Jews, he’s not mentioning this little gem.
2. Jews and Christians were treated better in places like Muslim Spain and the Ottoman Empire than by Christians. This is another big lie and comes from the total ignorance of the history of Dhimmi peoples and the lack of understanding that Dhimmis are not second class citizens, they are not CITIZENS. They have no rights, especially not the right to life, as all rights granted them can be revoked in an instant at the whim of a Muslim ruler.
3. Abrahamic faiths. I’m sorry this is the biggest and possibly the most dangerous lie. The relative suicide bomber scores of Islam, Christianity and Judaism should be enough to realise that the Jewish and Christian vision of God is nothing like our Muslim brothers’. That’s just the start: so Mohammad copied down some stories from Jews badly, every other aspect of Islam runs contrary to the message of freedom of thought and spirit in the Torah.
Are we seeing a common problem here? It really is not Arabs and Jews. Sure the Dhimmi Arab Christians usually fall into line with the Muslims because that’s a survival tactic that Dhimmitude creates: divide and conquer playing one Dhimmi group against another. We could probably live OK ruled by Arab Christians but not by Muslims.
Jews must never be Dhimmis again and it would be nice if a leader of Israel would actually speak the true reason why we’re not going to be a minority in a Muslim country again. What have we got to lose, the whole Muslim world hates us anyway*?
* I know that what little drive there is in the Muslim world to wrestle their lives back from the mad totalitarian theocrats that increasingly run the show nowadays probably rests on the West supporting them. Well if the West doesn’t acknowledge that both Jews and true reformers of Islam face the same problems, can we ever give them real support? We don’t need to be loved, that’s a Christian desire. We need our strength to be respected.

Respected … so, so true.
I've been saying this for a long time. Leaving Zionism aside, Jews need a state in the Middle East where the Jews of the Middle East have a chance to live without being threatened with massacre or having one of their wives taken away by the local sheikh.
But I do question the fine details. Taking history as a whole, Jews were a little better under Islam than under Christinity (which is saying very little, of course). And since when does the Torah believe in freedom of thought and spirit?
The argument over who mistreated the Jews the most between Medieval Christianity and Islam I'll leave to the historians, it's a fairly academic point. I think we can all agree that the last 2000 years of exile for the Jews weren't nice.
Of the two today, however, it is night and day: Jews can live safely and practice their religion safely in nearly all non-Muslim countries. In Muslim countries today it is only those who's minds are completely screwed by centuries of Dhimmitude who think they are living rather than just existing.
Judaism is all about freedom: the free will for us to screw up if we want or do good if we want: to eat the apple; kill the Egyptian guard etc. It's just that there are consequences for good and bad actions.
I'm fine with the first part, but I'm confused about the second. We just read it on the Sabbath; we are commanded to choose Good. That applies to all aspects of life, including thought and speech. Some of this is enforcable in court, and some is not.
How does this differ from Islam or non-Calvinist Christianity?
I think we do say it. Just differently. "never again!"
Nice job from Brian.
I agree with the article. I agree with all the comments (even Michael's). I'm not sure this is an experience I've ever had on IsraellyCool. I like it but I don't expect it to last. One question though: I realize the author is Jewish, but who exactly is he trying to convince? Other Jews?
The politicians.
Spot on. I think many "people" know this but every time a politician negotiates with a Muslim the final question, in public, should be "what do we do in ten years time when you break this agreement under the direct command of Muhammad".
