Our Arab neighbors are being abused by their own governments – they need our help

At times we do get fed up with the "news", don't we. Feeling the need to get away from it all, take time for ourselves, in peace and quiet...

Thinking : the world won't collapse if we look away for a while, will it. Hence the three-week suspension of this chronicle of "Media - Must Read". We're more than happy to reconnect with rabbi Leo Dee's words of sheer wisdom. The title didn't look good, to start with.

What do we really know about our neighbours' plight, be they Arab or else ? What business do we have to help them, if any?

Remembering Nobel Jack Steinberger's injunction once : "it's not easy to help people !".

Read rabbi Leo Dee's thoughts then. Certainly food for thought...

Hamas newspaper: Israel will pay a heavy price in next military conflict

 

Again, our editorial choice has been to suspend the daily harvest of info, for about a month this time. Not out of neglect, let alone indifference, but from a careful, soothening angle : how do things go, when you stop watching them with a measure of angst ? For angst do the media produce.

The result is that nothing so significant happened in those thirty days. The holy month of Ramadan ended without spectacular attacks against Jews in Israel, and that was that. Deadly attempts were thwarted, no doubt, but there was no onslaught, neither from Gaza nor within the West Bank.

In April 2022, mid-April, the decision was taken to suspend updating this section, see what the passing of time would do. How different things would be after a while. We let the while last about the time of a pregnancy, some nine months. When we chose silence, there had been a "terror wave" in Israel, leaving a trail of shock and blood. Nine months later, what do we see ? A massacre of nine Palestinians by the Israeli army in Jenin, the Northernmost Palestinian city, followed by a massacre of seven Jews in a synagogue, and another two Jews elsewhere, a fathger and a son, shot down by an Arab teenager who is barely thirteen. Sadly, this feels like the umpteenth rerun of the same old feud, dating back to Kafka's days, when he wrote Jackals and Arabs, first published by Martin Buber, in 1917.

What was the Northern traveler's perception, after meeting talking jackals and Arabs in the Middle eastern desert, way back ?

"I don't presume to pass judgment on matters so far removed from my own concerns; it seems to be a very ancient feud; a blood feud, probably; so it will probably take bloodshed to end it."

Don't these people know how to count corpses ? Nine to nine, and they will stop, until the next round.

As things were, the jackals of the time had some great expectations regarding the passing Northerner : "Master, you shall end the feud that divides the world." To which the Arab retorted : "They will continue to be with us until the end of time.(...) They cherish a quite absurd hope, these animals; they are fools, complete fools. (...) Wonderful animals, eh? And how they hate us!"
