Islamic State aims to destroy Israel, \u2018liberate\u2019 Jerusalem with Sinai Peninsula terrorist force<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Arabs and Muslims, not just ISIS, want to destroy the Jewish state of Israel because they believe that land belongs to them. For this crowd, the liberation of Jerusalem means destruction of the Jewish state. <\/p>\n

I don’t think the terms “hate” and “bigotry” and “anti-Semitism” are useful. There’s nothing sinister or satanic or unique with the Islamic antipathy to Israel. <\/p>\n

What we might have here is a failure to communicate. <\/p>\n

Different groups have different interests. For instance, it might be in the interests of Arabs and Muslims to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. Meanwhile, it might be, in certain contexts, in the interest of the Jewish state to expel its Muslims. For Arabs to feel liberated in Israel, they might have to expel the Jews. That’s how the world works. Much of life is zero sum. You either kill or get killed. <\/p>\n

Your Southern patriot in America might well feel that to liberate his people, he needs to expel some people. Your average non-Muslim Belgium or Dutchman might well feel that to liberate his people, he needs to expel Muslims. <\/p>\n

Having different subspecies in the same place competing peacefully for dominance is sometimes natural and sometimes deadly. Normally in nature one subspecies will destroy his competitors and then expand his territory as far as he can. More room for Germans to roam in the early 1940s meant there less freedom and survival for Germany’s neighbors, including slavs and Jews. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
