Alexander Dolitsky: Israel, homeland of the Jewish people for over 3,500 years

1. You’re not supposed to know this. Facts, history, all foreign to the woke.

   Sadly, I don’t expect the majority of Jews to wake up until it comes to their door.

   Just like with the Nazis, the Russian pogroms, and the Inquisition, Jews seem to want to either
   -ignore reality
   -see good in people who don’t have it

   Right up until the literal bitter end.

   • Masked, your comments regarding the nature of the Jewish psyche are accurate. However, the majority of Christian, agnostic, and atheistic Americans think similarly. These factions are in denial of the progressive decline of our republic at the hands of leftist woke communists… who have been forcing their agenda upon our culture for over 60-yrs. For example, behold the multitudes embracing irrational social fads which belie common sense, and science itself. Or their insatiable lust for free government hand-outs and the false promises of socialism. Or their willingness to tolerate the dismantling of the family unit and the education system and resulting crime. Or their acceptance of our unjustifiable foreign interventions. The list goes on and on. Their ideology makes them unable to see all the markers coming due. They hear the bell tolling; not realizing it tolls for them.

   • 3500 years is relatively short time in history

     Thats not much older than socrates

     Ancient Egyptians was around 7,000 years

     There were africans in palestine and world hemisphere wide long before this .

     It’s extremely illogical to put any importance regarding length of time at a given place.
     We were nomadic even when we created a “homeland” All of us .

     Its especially irrelevant when put in context of Jews and Muslims because they are so closely related .

     Just for kicks if we consider that the first peoples of all lands have grandfather rights to return and establish their own government and displacing whatever group was currently occupying that stretch of land

     America would be something else entirely. What would we call it ? How would you feel if you were forced out of your home?

     Most of Europe- gone

     All Middle easterners would give way to africans

     Africans would give way to ?

     South America?

     Asia

     It would be absolutely chaos. Dysfunctional.
     The wisest Jewish philosophers agree with this .

     Its illogical even to give any credence to how long a group was associated with a land

     We are created equal. We should treat each other equally and kindly and all live together without division or discrimination.

     Alexander was foolish and short sighted to give credance to grandfather rights.

     Grandfather rights tend to legally sunset anyway after someone else takes possession or becomes the principal user .

     Yet his argument is as good as anyone else who wants something back . It feels reasonable.

     Feels isn’t always rational.

     I was married to that woman first!

     • “It’s illogical to give any credence to how long a group was associated with a land”

       Good, it’s settled the “land” belongs to Israel.
       They are there, in control, now.

       They are doing a great service to the world, making the dessert bloom & protecting the Holy Land of 3 major religions; as opposed to trying to kill in indiscriminately world wide.

2. This is a great article and commendable “with nothing but the Truth” without any decoration, just the plain Truth.” When October 7th was reported, I cried after seeing small videos. The Muslims will never be able to live side by side with the Jewish people in Israel or any place for that fact. The Muslims are pagan in the core and with them is the everlasting “hatred” of a people “chosen” to live, protect, grow and thrive on a land given to them, and no other, by the High God. Israel was named by God, tribes were named by God, the path of life for the Jewish faithful to the land of God was given to them by God. The “Holy City of God, ” Jerusalem, was given to them to protect and keep for God. The temple was erected by God’s word for the Jewish people and no other. No amount of destruction, lying, pretending, claiming by the Muslims and the Palestinians will change that in the past, now and in the future. On the other hand, the Muslims in Israel have grown and thrived in peace because of the Jewish people and their “conscience” of thought word and deed. No Palestinian will ever be able to breach the teachings of the Jewish faith. They have tried, just as this October 7th event is a “brutal witness” to Jewish faith and their resolve. The Palestinians are Hamas. They are bred, born and raised with the violence of that thinking that the Israelites owe them, and the world owes them, regardless of their denied scheming. Hamas in the Bible means, violence. The Palestinians are the makers of violence in the land owned by Israel. No other country wants the Palestinians because they are violent and out of touch with reality and truth. The first figure of recognition in Gaza and the West Bank was Arafat, a violent criminal. The Palestinians honor violence and live in a world of denial. So, the land of Israel is still for the Israel people and all others, are invited by them to live and prosper in peace, but those who don’t, will find themselves afloat in a world of confusion and drastic measures, as it is today after October 7th 2023 in Israel.

3. Another trivial thing. Jews come in all colors from the deepest black to yellow. Even white.

   Kinda undercuts the apartheid, genocide, racism angle. It’s an inconvenient truth to the left, but…

4. Alexander,

   Thank you for this. I think it’s important to point out antisemitism wherever it raises its head. I appreciate your unique perspective on this issue and wonder what your thoughts are on how the leftwing political views of communism, fascism, and national socialism have taken root in America and American politics. How is it that after having “won” the cold war we are now losing to communism, fascism, and the national socialism movements as seen through the antisemitic proliferation through our “institutions of higher learning” and all the way up into the highest reaches of elected office?

   • To Steve: Steve, I don’t have a short and simple answer to your question. I am puzzled, too; I never expected that the U.S. will try to destroy itself from within. I wrote 10-15 articles on similar subjects in the last 3 years. Please check MRAK archive and you will be able to locate them. My professional experience, research and training is in anthropology, history and ethnography. On one point, however, I don’t consider that the West won the Cold War; Soviets simply gave up. But it is only my empirical observation.

     • Yeah, I certainly don’t think the West won the cold war that’s why I put won in quotes. I’m not sure that the Soviets gave up so much as they couldn’t keep tye same economic output and continue at the same pace using the same tactics. It appears to me that they’ve been able to infiltrate our society, as planned through our schools and thus our children, our media has been complicit in this as well. The division by race, gender, and every other measure all appears as planned by communists and other leftists from well over a century ago, the current antisemitism is another and much louder signal of that deep rooted insidiousness.

       I’ve read all your other articles here and appreciate them as much as I appreciate this one.

     • Khrushchev called it in the 50s. Our gullibility and tendency to ignore things until they are right in our face.

       Add to that the Soviets played a long game. Infiltrating every segment of society and pushing socialism slowing in small measure.

       It sounds good on paper. Equality across society. Problem is, it doesn’t work. Never has, never will.

       • Look up former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov and his 1984 interview with G. Edward Griffin, titled ‘Soviet Subversion of the Free World Press’. Here’s an article about it ‘https://bigthink.com/the-present/yuri-bezmenov/’

         At one point in the interview he says about “demoralized” people:

         “They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.”

         Does that sound like anyone you might know or who frequently comments here?

         Bezmenov continues describing a “demoralized” person:

         “As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore…A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him [a] concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he [receives] a kick in his fan-bottom. When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That’s the [tragedy] of the situation of demoralization.”

         Yep, that sounds like a few people who frequently comment here.

     • Alexander .
       Its unrealistic to put weight on history of use .
       The world would be chaos if every group claimed grandfather rights.
       Your mistaken logic would lead to a replacement of a all world populations .
       Its especially disingenuous to attempt such a thing among closely related groups. Which humans are pretty close.
       Also grandfather rights tend to legally sunset as someone else takes over the primary usage especially if there is other options.

       • And yet the Palestinians are chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” and claim that Palestine is their territory and their lands are being occupied…

     • Alexander .
       Its possible the US is not destroying itself from within.
       What you see as destruction may just be growth.
       Similar to how a muscle breaks down under exercise and grows back stronger.
       Democracy and freedom is a messy business.
       To fascists or totalitarians it would appear messy indeed.

       Have hope

5. Muslims only know violence to solve their problems.
   They have stated that all infidels need to be gone from the face of the earth.
   Why would any non Muslim be pro Palestinian knowing that their hate is on display as being very violent.
   Who else kills, bombs, tortures , threatens and plots to kill non Muslims?

6. Expedition Bible is full of archeological evidence of the lands where Jews and other biblical groups resided. The evidence is all over the area. To call Israel and “occupation” is just silly. It’s another rewrite of history. And to my knowledge, nobody is saying the Palestinians aren’t allowed to live there. It’s just been a battle for so long that neither side has been able to have peace with eachother. Why? Probably because neither knows the true Prince of Peace.

7. People are so easily misled, so easily propagandized, so easily psyop’ed; but it’s okay, it’s the way we’re designed, nothing much to do about it. The great, vast majority look to be told what to think/believe rather than search behind the curtains comfort and familiarity.
   Be different – question, be skeptical.

8. It is incredible that Hamas took videos of what they did, told people what they did, and people still deny it and blindly follow them. We watched for weeks as liberals chanted for the genocide and apartheid of Israelis while tearing down the posters of child hostages. Their actions are indefensible. Hamas and the liberal sheep cheering them on.

   There has been one side throughout the years that has refused a two state solution, and it is not Israel. No one is afraid of radical Israelis highjacking planes, detonating suicide bombs, or beheading children. At least liberal indoctrination universities are finally getting some pushback thanks to Stefanik. One down, two to go…maybe more.

9. This started with Jacob and Esau. Reference Genesis.

   • I think it starts with Ishmael and Isaac, the sons of Abraham.

     • Bad, I wrote my reply to myself below before your’s was posted. In any event, since Jacob was the direct patriarch of the 12-tribes, and he became Israel, the problem may have started with his relation to Esau. The scripture explains the strained relations of these generations but it does not clearly confirm precisely which rift descended.

   • Actually, the rift may have even started a generation earlier with Ishmael and Isaac.

10. There was more than one holocaust, Alex Maybe you could address why being staunchly anti- communist in this country still gets gets you smeared. And all the 70+ year old conspiracy theories that have come true, even though they were announced as policy at the time. Globalism is happening and we are teaching it to our children.

    • To Jay: Jay, I cannot explain such a complicated sociological phenomenon that you addressed in your comment. I just want to add to the subject of the recent Congressional testimony that it was astonishing to see those ridiculous presidents of U. Penn, Harvard, and MIT taking so much heat for their absolutely atrocious stances in that House committee hearing — not being able to say outright that calling for genocide of Jews is “hate speech” within their universities. One’s been fired, but the other two need to go, too. The good part, though, is that their stupidity made such a classic example of how far that sort of thinking and teaching has gone in our universities.

      • I can explain it. “Regular” people are lazy. Zealots aren’t

11. Of course there was more than one holocaust. In our current holocaust, about 1-million humans per year are murdered before they can escape their mother’s birth canal in the USA alone.

    • Wayne, to paraphrase a line from a Woody Allen film, “Hanna and her sisters”, regarding the holocaust, or any number of similar tragedies…
      ” given the nature of mankind, the question is WHY DOSEN’T THIS HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME.

12. Using bronze-aged Judaism to reason modern day problems is always laughable. However, it is the reason there will never be peace in this area of the world. The parties of god on both sides have veto power over the secular.

    • Hush child, adults are talking.

    • Cman good point

13. Great article, Alexander. There are many self-hating, left-wing Jews living amongst us. But many of them are also the first ones to speak out of anti-Semitism if you dare challenge their allegiance to American democracy. This is a strange diametric. One example is the attorney who leads the pro Rank Choice Voting propaganda drive here in Alaska. A self-aggrandizing Jew who stretches into the radicalized Left category. What is the logic of these individuals?

14. Alexander,
    Your insinuation that Jews own Palestine by the virtue of race and past occupation is a racist concept.
    You linked ownership to race and history.

    In America we are considered equal. That is generally the lense we apply.

    You also misinformed the readers by trying to tie racial/ ethnic group growth to proof that genocide wasn’t present.

    You also misdefined / oversimplified genocide as an attempt to exterminate said group.
    Extermination is not necessary to meet the definition of the word.
    This is an embarrassing misleading oversight for someone with your reach and access to knowledge. Genocide is more nuanced and wide meaning.
    Please clarify.

    It appears You are implying and creating an argument for support of Israels subjugation and genocide of the Palestinian people or so it appears.
    Do you support Israels multi decade treatment of the Palestinians ? Or did I misunderstand you?
    Please condemn whatever behavior you consider inappropriate. In your own words.
    So the world can be clear on your position.

    Different definitions of genocide:
    The deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group- per websters collegiate dictionary 1831-1981
    Destruction is similar to ruin . The action of laying waste or wrecking.
    Whereas exterminate implies complete removal or elimination of said issue.
    Very different

    United Nations defined genocide as “any”of 5 acts “intent to destroy in part or in whole a national, ethnic, religious , ethnic or racial group”
    Killing members of a group , causing them serious mental or physical harm , imposing living conditions meant to destroy the group preventing births and forcibly transferring children out of the group.

    Israels actions meet the world definition of genocide. On many fronts.

    Any attempt to justify this genocide put’s blood on the justifiers hands .

    It’s against Jewish religious law to murder innocent people. Israel is causing a mass casualty event. In a genocide action.
    Possibly for decades. As they have blockaded Palestinians economy and movement. Occupied their territory and bombed their homes schools and citizens.

    Do you condemn Israels genocide towards Palestinians?

    I condemn Hamas in its entirety and believe it needs brought to justice.

    Do you condemn the IDF and the politicians for the subjugation and genocide within Palestine ?

    Do you call for peace and stop of bloodshed?

    I do . Also make no doubt i condemn Hamas entirely and any injustice and injury the poor people of Israel have had to endure.

15. Alexander – I was distressed to read that you label all Muslims as violent and unable to assimilate with nations they have immigrated to. The same type of group labeling has been done down through the centuries to any group that attempted to keep its values and culture in a new place yet still work within the new country. Jews have been assaulted by the same group condemnation from the Middle Ages to after World War II. The Jews were forced to live in ghettos for centuries in Europe. Meanwhile in the Islamic Empire they were welcomed. 6 million Jews were murdered in WWII. 29 million Russians also were murdered. The cry of “Never Again!” was heard throughout the world. It enabled the Jews to increase their immigration back into Palestine and forcibly take the land from the people who had been there for centuries. Many of the so-called “Arabs” evicted from their homes and land were former Jews who had converted either to Islam or Christianity and who are now enclosed in Gaza with the exits under the full authority of Israel. Gaza is a modern ghetto and it isn’t pleasant. I know, having spent time there as well as Israel and the West Bank researching the political situation both in Gaza and in the West Bank and Israel itself. Palestinians in Israel are not in the same class as Jews in Israel. I spoke with many Israeli Jews who also went into painful detail on this. The best chance for a peaceful settlement died when Izhak Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish rabbinical student. Finally, to my Zionist Christian friends I must remind you that the Israeli bombs are also killing Palestinian Christians. Painting one side as wholly responsible is not going to solve the problem. We need instead a truly honest broker, and that is not the United States where politicians must bow to the Zionist groups. By most of the responses to this article that problem is quite apparent. We must have both sides of the issue out in the open and discussed as part of the mainline “press.” Until that happens we are operating blind.

    • Shelia,
      It is not group labeling to acknowledge the fact that the recent mass importation of predominantly Arabs of Islamic faith into European countries has been a disaster for both the host countries and the immigrants. Sweden, France and the UK are sufficient for illustrating the ensuing chaos the misguided policies of the totalitarian ruling European elites who pose as “liberal democrats” have caused. Islamic Arab Egypt controls the “exits” of Gaza and absolutely refuses to allow their Arab brethren access to leave. Just as the Islamic Arab Jordanians refuse to allow Arabs residing in Samaria, or the “West Bank” to move emigrate. There has never been a nation called “Palestine”, much less as a historical homeland of a distinct group of Muslim Arab tribes. A more accurate term for the region post year 1270 would be the Levant. The Ottomans conquered the Levant Region in 1516 and established a province named the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem. When the Ottoman Empire was defeated, the British Imperialists occupied the provinces they captured from them, naming the territory west of the Jordan River “Palestine” and to the east “Transjordan”. The British occupied what they called Palestine 1918 to 1948 (Israel) and Transjordan (Jordan) from 1918 to 1946. The Arabs in “Palestine” with the aid of Arab armies from the region attempted to genocide every Jew but were defeated. Maintaining a constant source of tension has been in the interests of the Arab totalitarian regimes/Kingdoms to focus their subjects away from who is actually exploiting them. The unanswered question is how was Israel taken by complete surprise on October 7th. It is not credible the multitude of Israeli intelligence and security services were not aware of a major operation being prepared. Perhaps Israel has gone woke and become as incompetent and corrupt as our military and intelligence services have become. Or perhaps the Neocon warmongers who control our country thought they could create and use the crisis to start a war with Iran, as their Ukraine project has collapsed.

16. Shelia, I was distressed to read how you misconstrued my statement in your comments: “…you label all Muslims as violent and unable to assimilate with nations they have immigrated to.”

    I did not write “all Muslims” or “unable.” I clearly stated in the very first paragraph of my article that: “…protests have been occurring in EUROPE for years, as Muslims have INCREASED their presence in European countries as “refugees” from Muslim countries only to become violent within short times and RELUCTANT to assimilate with the host country.”

    Do we speak the same language? I don’t know you (age, ethnicity, occupation, residency, etc.), but in reading your comments, I could see through you—the far-left and passive aggressive activist. I don’t have time and tolerance for you. Perhaps other MRAK readers will respond to your convoluted and misleading comments.

    • Alexander – I really was astonished that you take me for a liberal progressive. Throughout my long life I have always striven to see for myself rather than just trust what I have read. It has led me to travel to many parts of the world much as other travelers used to do in the past decades when books were written on what they found. Maybe I come from a more diplomatic societal background, but your intolerance will not deter me from speaking out when I have better information based on my eyewitness experience. At the same time I can well understand your reactions. In a more perfect world we would be able to listen to each other and the only intolerance would be against those who espouse hate against anyone. We really need a more just world. In this season of peace, I wish you and your family and friends shalom from a former member of the women in black.

    • Seems you have become reactive to Sheila’s comment because she has shared first hand experience and maybe has some points of truth. Instead of shutting down and forcing your “intolerance” in her try having more of an open mind to what she is speaking to.

17. Professor Dolitsky, while an argument might be made that Israel may have been the Homeland of Jewish Arabs for thousands of years, there is no such argument for Ashkenazi Jews whose DNA seems to indicate no genetic tie to present day Israel. The Ashkenazi Jews’ Homeland was largely in Eastern Europe & Western Asia. Ashkenazi’s currently comprise about 85% of Israel’s population today.

    • To Fishing for Food: True. Today’s Italians are not the same as ancient Romans; or today’s French, British and Irish as ancient Celts. Khazars were a nomadic Turkish people covering southeastern section of modern European Russia and southern Ukraine from the 6th century to about 13th century CE; and they practiced Judaism. Nevertheless, second oldest religion—Judaism— emerged in the land of modern Israel.

      • Alexander,
        Your posts are always excellent, but have become far too infrequent. Would like to read on your analysis of how the utter destruction of the post 1991 construct of territories now known as the Ukraine will effect the ethnically fractured society and female/male ratios for repopulating the region. What is your prediction for the final eastern border, perhaps the west bank of the Dnepr River, and minus Odessa in the south?

        • Brian, I was in the Czech Republic and Germany in August and September. What I observed in Europe during my last trip was astonishing. I will try to put something together in the near future.

          • Awesome, looking forward to your next article

          • Please share in this Must Read!

18. If you claim Israel has within its right to claim it’s land back. Then surely you would agree that the indigenous natives of America should receive all their land back as well?

    Since you know, they have been pillaged many times and it was theirs first, was it not?
