REASONS 49these dramatic facts must be remembered, and particularly whenever Jewish interests go about the businessof depicting themselves as a helpless minority that has been unjustly persecuted for centuries on end.And lest we forget, this unpleasant situation for the Christians endured for quite a while, including ofcourse the infamous persecutions that took place under the Roman emperor Nero, who had converted toPharisaical Judaism and was heavily under the influence of his religious advisors. It was this, and not the‘blood libel’ that set the tone for future clashes between the two groups.And if all of this weren’t enough, what must be remembered is the fact that this little history was but thefirst of many similarly shaped dominoes that would fall and which would be responsible for planting theseeds of future animosity between the Jewish people and the rest of the world.Predators and preyOne of the first Christians, Paul, once wrote that ‘there is nothing new under the sun’ in describing thecyclical, repetitive and eternal nature of human behavior. And just as the Jews of 1st century Palestineput in motion events that had explosive implications for themselves and for those who would be followingin their footsteps down the road, so too throughout their entire history have they continued doing likewise.For those wishing to understand why there is this thing known as the Middle East conflict, and moreimportantly why there is this thing known as ‘Islamic extremism’ that has in recent years become thenew buzz word, what should be considered is that there is nothing new to be found here. The sources ofthis turmoil have as a common thread running through them the very same theme that has led to frictionbetween the Jews and the peoples around whom they have lived for the last 2,000 years, although onewould find no such discussion of these items taking place today nor in the manner that it should. And thetheme upon which all of this is based is the simplistic one of survival, of prey trying to save itself from thepredator.Imagine being a Christian, or any other non-Jewish person throughout the history of the last 2,000 yearsfor that matter, and learning about what kind of religious precepts that “God’s chosen people,” yourJewish neighbors who are living amongst you entertain. Imagine finding out that Pharisaical Judaismentertains and fosters among its adherents the notion that all non-Jews, the Goyim, are animals with norights and who have been created for the purpose of serving those who fancy themselves as being a“light among nations. Imagine learning of the Talmudic teachings that speak of the manner in which theinferior non-Jew only appears to be human so as to be better equipped to serve the needs and desires of themaster race. Imagine learning that there are special religious dispensations for your Jewish neighborsthat permit them to steal, lie, cheat, molest and rape your children and your wives, as well as murderingyou and your fellow citizens, and that not only are these abominations permitted, but that such acts areconsidered a mitzvah, or a religious duty.Now imagine that upon learning these things, you see the manner in which these sentiments areimplemented on a daily basis; that the local Jewish merchants have become cozy with whatever governingbody exists at the time, and that laws and policies are being enacted that place them atop the rest of thenon-Jewish subjects in a particular political community. Imagine that slowly but surely you find yourselfdispossessed of your property, that you are working slave hours for slave wages, and that you are doingall of this as a service for your fellow Jewish neighbors who truly believe in all that business about theirbeing “destined to inherit the earth”. Human nature has a breaking point, and such has it been throughouthistory that peoples reach that breaking point, and thus arrive the “waves of persecutions” about whichwe are reminded on a seemingly regular basis.
