Antisemitism and Islamophobia Must Go!

War is here in the middle east again. We who are old and students of history understand that we the average citizen have a role to play. Not one of partisan side taking, that is your right under our awesome democracy and republics. There will be no coercion into support of one side or another. The role we must play as citizens is one of admonishing hate.

Antisemitism is rampart now among certain segments of America but so is Islamophobia among another segment of society. We already have in America casualties of this war, some still held hostage by a terrorist group in Gaza. I purposely use the word terrorist to describe Hamas because in their own charter they want to eliminate all jews men, women, and child in the holy lands. Maya Angelou taught us all, believe them when they tell you who they are. I for one believed them to be terrorists in their cause of resistance. Many groups exist in Palestine for peace, but this group Hamas takes the lion share of being promoters of hate. Just to be sure there is no doubt in their intention they globally called for a day to kill Jews wherever they are at.

As a citizen of great democracy with empathy like America. We sympathize with the Palestinians but also hold firm for our Israel. There is a solution to this problem in the Holly lands, but so far, the best of us in powers, elite and citizens have yet to come up with one.

This article is not about the solution needed for war to stop in the holy land. This article is about what can we do in Free Peoples power to stop Antisemitism and Islamophobia fanning wildly now in our democracies.

Rules of understanding need to be taught to the masses.

Such as the Jew is human, not super villain, superhuman to whom all attributes of evil scheming is attributed to them. The Jews taught us from their 5,000-year history this is the norm, it even has a label Antisemitic troupe that eventually always leads to Pogroms, exile, and deaths. To understand that human being the Jew has a right to defend him or herself. Less than three generations ago they went into ovens in Europe by the tune of six million jews murdered. The Jew you are seeing today is not willing to accept that scenario anymore. They created Israel as a nation to protect themselves from that aspect of their history repeating itself. Once you understand that, you will know that this modern Jew will fight for everything and leave nothing to chance. Their history is their future to stop now. We may not all agree but understand from their perspective we should try.

Second rule to understand is since 1948, Palestine has been under one form of occupation or another. Gradually Palestinians losing hope of their being a nation for them circa 2023. A hopeless people is being used by spoilers such as Hamas and their foreign funders like Iran to seek retribution in the form of terroristic resistance to that occupation. Here the free people of the world who globally have suffered under terrorism are repelled by these actions. Those that kill women, men, and children wantonly for being Jews are not the peace partners sought. There are many voices in Palestine who advocate resistance to occupation without killing wantonly of Jews in Israel. We should right about now amplify them, for these are the peace makers we need. To undercut the appeal of Hamas and their sponsors ways. Whoever brings hope of a Palestinian state will bring peace.

Last rule. Those who denigrate another human being will never value your humanity. For those spewing antisemitism into our lives will never value yours either tomorrow. The same for those spewing islamophobia into society.

Actions to take is an ally to your humanity. This war and war means we nobody citizens have no role or decision-making process. Peace, we seek to live in our democracies and republics we do. The peace we seek is freedom from Hate. Speak up when you hear antisemitism or islamophobia spoken, posted, or broadcasted into our lives now. Hate will solve no problem but deepen it. If we as a free people want to end its cycle, we must be brave to stand up now for our humanity. Be a partisan but avoid dehumanizing each other. We should be for Peace even in the heat of war, that is the only human way out now for this war. Peace starts with being an ally against Antisemitism and Islamophobia today in your home, city, state, and country. Courage to upholding our humanity is contagious. Be brave to do so we urge as Average Mohamed. This is the way of the Free People of the world: Democracies
