Palestinian Activists and the War Against Jews

The Palestinians have lost every war they started, with disastrous consequences for their always fractured society. The population is growing Islamist, identifying more with the Arabs to the east than with their own heritage. The fellahe class is evaporating into the modern world, and with it, Palestinian identity, which was once inseparable from the land.

These city Arabs who think themselves enlightened enough to speak for the Palestinian people have never picked an olive in their life, nor could they survive a day of real work in the field, nor do they see such a life as befitting their "laptop and thesaurus armed Marxist of the world" status. Their hands are too frail to turn a millstone and their spirits too impetuous to weave a quabbeh. The men would be ashamed of donning a bisht on hot summer days, and I have yet to see a Palestinian woman abroad sporting a shambar. No, the image of resistance they hold dear is the keffiyeh, which is not Palestinian, but Arab.

[Blog Name] is a relic of a bygone conclusion - the death of Marxism - and no amount of posts by [Name] or [Name] or even the great [Name] will resurrect past glory, when Soviet trained Venezuelans joined with Cubans and East Germans to fight the IDF in Lebanon.

Your death knell pangs of agony are read by fellow brethren and sympathizers, sitting in American Starbucks, sipping their lattes. They know nothing of Palestinian society as it is, or was, nor do they care, nor do you, and that is the biggest defeat of all. You have become so consumed by hatred, so occupied by vengeance and so ashamed of your own rich heritage, that you have perverted your identity to one of endless struggle against the longest surviving people in the history of humanity - the Jews.

The enemies of the Jews have been of greater mettle and resources than you, and all have found themselves in the proverbial heap of history.

If only someone would make a list of the nations that crowd this heap, you would find yourself in unwelcome company. Perhaps you think yourself to be special - indeed, you are. So were the Amalekites, Moabites, Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites, Phillistines, Assyrians, Babylonians, Hellenists, Romans... an inexhaustive list.

If you really want to be special, if you truly wish to be unique, you will stop fighting "the ranks of the living G-d", and thus ensure your survival. After all, Marxists are nothing if not intrepid scholars of history.
