Fear and Loathing in New Jerusalem

“I just finished this podcast series, and it’s one of the best I’ve ever heard. Like many people, I wasn’t all that familiar with the machinations surrounding the formation of Israel. Daryl Cooper provides a very even handed description of the events leading to the formation of Israel from both the Jewish and Arab perspective. On more than one occasion, I wept at the sheer barbarity of human race.
I think many people’s understanding of a pogrom comes from Fiddler on the Roof. I know mine did. I don’t think most people understand the horror that Jews were forced to endure for centuries as residents of other countries. Most people just think about The Holocaust, but that was just a culmination of centuries of persecution and pogroms. As Daryl says, “What would YOU do?”
Now that I have a better understanding of the situation in in Israel, I’m also not sure what the solution is. The Arabs have a right to their land and homes. The Jews have a right to their own country where they’re not persecuted for simply being Jewish.
History is more often than not simply a tale of power and conquest. On more than one occasion, I thought about how America was founded on the former lands of Native Americans. America had the strength to take the entire territory of the United States by force, so we did. Israel had the power to take what they considered their rightful homeland by force, so they did.
We are not giving the land back to the Native Americans anymore than Israel is giving back their land to the Arabs.
What would you do?”
