I recently watched the television interview with Knesset Member Zahalka,
where the Arab MK got carried away with stories, arguing that Defense
Minister Ehud Barak “listens to classical music, but killed 1,400
children…” The issue of classical music seemed to greatly bother Zahalka
and he repeated it several times.
But I am not interested in discussing Barak’s favorite symphonies or the
question of whether it was professionally appropriate for interviewer
Dan Margalit to be dragged into a loud debate (which in retrospect was
revealed to be a superb PR asset.) Just before he left, Zahalka called
Margalit “an immigrant.” This comes on top of Knesset Member Ahmad
Tibi’s statement that the Jews are immigrants, and some of them are
fascists.
It is noteworthy that both Zahalka and Tibi have a Ph.D. Yet whatever
their areas of specialty are, history of the Land of Israel is certainly
not one of them. Two such intelligent people are unaware of the basic
history of the country where they reside. After all, Kfar Qara, where
Dr. Zahalka resides, was only established in the 18th Century under the
auspices of the Arab occupation of Eretz Yisrael. Meanwhile, Arabs only
arrived at Taibe, where Dr. Tibi hails from, in the 17th Century from
Saudi Arabia and Egypt, as attested to by the last names of some residents.
Do they truly believe that the “Palestinians” nobody heard of until the
20th Century, truly grew from the land? Don’t they know that under Arab
villages in the Galilee one can find synagogues from the Second Temple
period? Don’t they know that by the end of the 19th Century, only about
140,000 non-Jews resided in the Land of Israel, while by 1948 this
number grew tenfold, mostly because of Arab immigration to Eretz Yisrael?
“This neighborhood used to be Sheikh Munis,” Zahalka yelled before
leaving the Tel Aviv studio, thereby revealing the truth. As it turns
out, the appetite of Zahalka and his voters is not confined to the
territories. Yet the village of Sheikh Munis, where Tel Aviv University
is located today, was only established in the 19th Century, when the
Land of Israel was being conquered by Ibrahim Pasha. This took place
about 2,500 years after the Shiloh inscription was written in Jerusalem,
using the same Hebrew I use to write my column.
And so, the “immigrant” tales are baseless even when compared to the
Brothers Grimm fairytales. So why then do Arab Knesset members blatantly
lie to the cameras? Aren’t they scared to be condemned publicly?
Counting on Jewish ignorance
No, they are not scared. Lies, manipulations, and deception are
fundamental pillars in Arab dialectic. First of all, because Arab
representatives create fear and hatred through them. Continuing to fan
the flames of the conflict is a vital interest for them. After all, the
conflict preserves their status as MKs and makes them popular among
their voters.
In addition, the Arab MKs realize that the vast majority of Jews will
not be able to respond to the “immigrant” argument. And not because it’s
a winning argument. Rather, because Israeli Jews are interested in
iPhones and in reality shows, and no longer have any interest in the
history of the people or land of Israel. The people of Israel today wish
to study business administration, rather than history or Biblical
studies. The dispensers of Arab propaganda lies are counting on it, and
rightly so.
And so, a few final words for MK Zahalka. Please read the words of
Pharaoh Merneptah, who noted the existence of Israelites in Canaan about
3,225 years ago. This will enable you to conclude that, in historical
terms, you are the guest here.
I have no problem with you staying, and I insist that as opposed to the
Jews in Arab states you enjoy equality. But how about a little respect
to the old timers? After all, you are no more than a little dot in
continuous Hebrew history in Eretz Yisrael.
Therefore, with all due respect (which I don’t hold for provocateurs
such as yourself,) you better keep something important in mind.
Historical figures such as King David, Judah Maccabee, and even Bar
Kochba were the masters of the land here long before Ibrahim Pasha was
even born. So don’t try to fool me, Zahalka. I’m not an idiot.

direi proprio di sì, visto che gli è sfuggito il fatto che ha dato per
interposta similitudine del nazista a Barak. L'accostamento tra
l'ascolto di musica classica e sterminio degli ebrei è un clichè della
descrizione degli addetti allo sterminio...

 occupazione di qualcosa che non esisteva.....
Un po' come nel '67. Da quelle parti usa.
