The more things change, the more they stay the same
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose – Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr
Over the years, time and time again, the above saying has come to the forefront, that is, in relation to the injustices meted out to the majority Jewish public within Israel. This is hardly an exaggeration, nor is it hyperbole.
For in point of fact — and coming from a place this address prefers to call reality — the evidentiary trails beat a straight path back to the aforementioned incendiary, yes, incendiary, statement.
But before we segue to two (out of countless) recent outrages which underlie the above, the following should serve as a backgrounder; one which renders this American-Israeli investigative journalist a more than qualified assessor, so to speak. Consider:
- The Hunt Continues Against Jewish Nationalists; The Bitter Fruits of ‘Disengagement’; Justice in the Holy Land?; HUNTING DOWN RABBIS UNDER THE GUISE OF LAW & ORDER; Arabs Attack, Jews Beaten & Arrested On Jerusalem Day; No Crime Without Punishment; Administrative Detention/Expulsion:Selective Enforcement Against Jewish Nationalists
and on and on….
Mind you, all of the above — some of which spans back to 15 plus years ago — should be deemed a mirror image of the many ways in which Jews are mistreated like second-class citizens — yes, you read that right — by Israel’s law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and up and down the legal fraternity via the hierarchy of a leftist, pro-Arabist bent Supreme Court!
In reality, this upside down, in-the-looking-glass tragic state of affairs — that which passes itself off as Israel’s justice system — is duly exposed within The Paradox of Israeli Politics: Vote Right, Get Left. None too incidentally, it was featured at American Thinker. Hmm.
Then as now, the injustices continue apace.
Today, the following was reported at Israel National News — which happens to be the repository of some of the above evidentiary trails:
‘We were almost lynched’ – Arab rioters in Jaffa attack Jewish youths who accidentally drove into the area during Sunday’s riots.
Four Jewish youths were attacked by Arab rioters in Jaffa, south of Tel Aviv, during the riots which broke out Sunday.
The four youths found themselves surrounded by rioters after they accidentally drove into the area.
The Arab rioters hurled epithets, spat at the four, vandalized their car, and tried to attack them physically.
The four victims have filed a police complaint over the attack, and Honenu attorney Haim Bleicher has called on police to bring the assailants to justice.
“There was a huge Arab protest,” said two of the young women who were in the car at the time. “They surrounded us with people and motorcycles. When we rolled up the windows so we wouldn’t get killed, they started to smash up the car, banged on the windows, smashed the side mirrors.”
Eventually, the four youths managed to escape.
“Miraculously, we were able to get a way. It is a miracle that nothing happened to us, only the car was damaged. We turned to one of the police officers to help us; we were in shock and traumatized but he was so apathetic towards us. He saw a group of people who had just survived a lynch, but he doesn’t even ask if we’re okay.”
“If things would have been the other way around, I’m sure this would be a big deal. We were received with scorn at every police station we turned to. We haven’t even gotten a basic response, just ‘Go somewhere else, we have no way of helping you.’”

Jews attacked by Arabs in Samaria arrested
About 100 Arabs attacked Jewish farmers between Etz Ephraim and Shaarei Tikva. The Jews responded by firing at the rioters – and were arrested about two weeks after the incident.
Alas, none of this Orwellian injustice would be possible without “winks and nods” from the powers that be — that which includes so-called right-wing PM Netanyahu!
BOTTOM LINE:
In order to fully understand the delusional leftism which permeates much of the Jewish community — in the diaspora as well as in Israel — this address unreservedly recommends the tour de force, “The Oslo Syndrome: Delusions of a People Under Siege.”
Still yet, whereas it peels back the heretofore inexplicable behavior, the urgent and core issue remains, as always: who will step up and change the increasingly dangerous Israeli “double standard?”
