I am a Jew. I Come in Peace!
I was not endowed nor possess an insatiable appetite for war and killing. Only for chocolate milkshakes.
Upon reading this article: https://news.yahoo.com/google-reassigns-diversity-lead-antisemitic-131729469.html, I found myself compelled to comment. So here it goes.
So anti-Semitism has no place in society but is quite welcome at Google. Bobb was not fired. He is still welcome at Google only not in its area to promote diversity. I guess having an anti-Semite in an area promoting diversity is not ideal.
Bobb does not know me but asserts that he does. I guess all Jews have genes or some type congenital defect that makes us have an insatiable appetite for war and killing. I wonder what journal he has read this? Let me explain this again so maybe Bobb can understand. Gaza is not occupied territory. Israel left Gaza to the Gazans. The Gazans then evicted the PLO. Gaza is Hamas. Hamas has its own homeland. Hamas was not a party to the Oslo Accords. Not a signatory. Their explicit goal is the destruction of Israel. They do not deem Israel a legitimate state. To them, Jews occupy Palestine. Israel does not exist. With the aid of Iran, Gaza develops better, more potent and more accurate weapons and launches them against Israel. Thousands of rockets. That Israel has no right to its own self-defense?
So according to Google, Google must be above society or below society or an exception to the rules of society since anti-Semitism, according to them, should not be welcome in society but is welcome and at home at Google. Only not in its group promoting diversity.
People keep trying to propagandize the lie that one can be anti-Israel without being anti-Semitic. I just wonder why so many Jews throughout the world are victims of hate crimes then by the very groups waving Palestinian flags? Maybe they all think like Bobb? Is the justification for hate crimes against Jews are that they are not anti-Israel and have an insatiable appetite for war and killing?
Further, it is so ironic to call Israel a colonial power. The last regional war Israel was involved in was in 1973 when Israel was attacked while observing the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur. By the time of the cease fire, Israel was within 65 miles of Cairo and within 25 miles of Damascus. Israel accepted withdrawing its troops rather than being an occupying power. How many other countries have relinquished territory when it was itself attacked and that their response was one of self-defense. Oops, I forgot, Israel has no right to self-defense. Syria and Egypt were acting as Good Samaritans in attempting to rid the world of a defective species who have an insatiable appetite for war and killing. Israel surrender land for peace with Egypt. Israel has vacated Gaza. The Gazans desired that all Israelis be expelled from Gaza and Jewish institutions destroyed. Synagogues are Jewish institutions not Israeli institutions. Israel has surrendered administrative control of the West Bank to the PLO. There is now universal access to the places of worship for the three monotheistic religions which did not exist during Jordanian occupation of East Jerusalem. The world has acknowledged that the division of Berlin was a mistake. The world has begun to acknowledge that Jerusalem is a unified system with access for all religions to visit their respective houses of worship.
Jews love peace. Israel has surrender land when they have received a credible offer of security to achieve peace. Jews were the first people to be put in a ghetto. Jews suffered inquisitions, pogroms and a Holocaust. Israeli military actions are almost always limited in scope and nature and to act as deterrence to protect its own population. Not to conquer and occupy. Israel takes great care in attempting to limit collateral damage. There is probably no country in the world that take so much care in attempting to limit the loss of lives to innocent bystanders.
I can tell you what Jews have. It is an insatiable appetite for peace. An insatiable desire for peace. Jews embrace life. Since its founding, all Israel has asked for is the mutual respect from its neighbors and the mutual and reciprocal acknowledgment of legitimacy. Israel has achieved great strides in achieving that. Israel has made peace and taken existential risk to achieve peace where its legitimate security needs have been met.
Bobb, your description of Jews is ugly. Google, you are right in the sense that this anti-Semitism has no place in society. Google, it is clear that this anti-Semitism is welcomed at Google. GOOGLE DOES NOT BELONG IN SOCIETY ACCORDING TO ITS OWN CRITERIA FOR WHAT HAS AND HAS NOT A PLACE IN SOCIETY!
And as for his blog reflecting upon how he would see himself, Bobb, if he were a Jew seems to reflect that he believes that Jews should accept the narrative of anti-Semites or hate themselves. I reject both! I am happy with myself. I am proud to be Jewish. I define myself!
