Anti-Semitism - An old trick that doesn't work anymore

Recently my friend Bradley sent me a video that shocked him because it showed Arab leaders in Egypt rousing support among the masses to kill Jews and conquer Jerusalem.

The way this cry rallies people in economically depressed countries never ceases to amaze me. 

But really anti-Semitism is an old trick that doesn’t work as well as it used to; the trick of blaming the Jews for the suffering of the masses. 

The people using the trick are the leaders who’ve caused that suffering by stealing and exploiting the masses in various ways and wish to escape punishment by blaming the Jews for the trouble they’ve caused.

The trick worked for many centuries as long as Jews were minorities in countries suffering depression. After cries of “kill the Jew”, “conquer Jerusalem”, the masses could plunder and murder to their heart’s delight, become elated, and feel that they had justly punished the ones to blame for their miserable plight, even though they weren’t any better off, but what did it matter, they had dealt the people who they’d been told caused them suffering a painful blow.

Now the trick doesn’t work anymore because there is a Jewish state that stands up for the Jews everywhere. 

The cry to kill the Jew and conquer Jerusalemstill gets the masses worked up but there’s no more follow up. It’s not possible to attack Jews and get elated. They’ve tried several times to attack Israel and each time they have fared worse than the time before.

The result is that the Arabs and other nations have begun to search in real earnest for the real cause of their suffering instead of blaming the Jews.

Despite all the pre-election ranting and ravings that we see in the video, today, for the first time in it’s modern history Egypt has admitted it has internal problems and her new President has begun to deal with them and he doesn’t have time to kill Jews and march on Jerusalem and please God he’ll be busy for a long time solving Egypt’s internal problems and when he’s finished, which might take 10 years of so. Egypt won’t be such an economically depressed country and won’t need the rallying call to kill the Jews and conquer Jerusalem.
