The new war against the Jews

The war against the Jews is not a new phenomena.  We saw it in the nineteen thirties and nineteen forties, We saw it in the sixteen forties, in the fourteen nineties and many times, before, after and in between.  Therefore there is nothing new in the new war against the Jews as it is now forming in the international community.  It is again, trying to isolate the Jews and than rob them of their possessions and lives.
However, based on the long historical experience, there should be a word of warning that most of my readers of both sides of the conflict are destined not to fully understand.
To keep the conversation as neutral as possible, one cannot initially say that the Jews are always right or always wrong and one cannot initially say about their opponents that they are always right or always wrong.  It is possible to find cases in which one can reasonably side with one party or the other.
It is later in the conflict where the propaganda against the Jews reaches a high pitch that one must choose sides.  And most people, being part of their respective, pretty biased cultures, choose to join the war against the Jews.  But, at that point, the right side is clearly the Jews who are now the subject of unreasonable hatred and uncalled for punishment.
It was a Jewish leader, Gold Meir, who once said that "When peace comes, we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons."  The Jews are now being blamed in a fashion that cannot be described in any other way but blood libel (something that the Europeans are good at.  But when we hold this quote to be the truth as it is, one may not avoid the conclusion that the blames against the Jews are unfounded and it is their side anybody who seek justice should choose.
In a poetic way we may describe it this way, every so many years, Satan gets an hold on the world and take it into a celebration of evil, mayhem and destruction, and the sure sign for such an era is when everybody blames the Jews and hates them
