They both claim Abraham as their progenitor. Physically alike to the outside eye, it is difficult to tell one from the other but for ethnic differences such as shape of beard, Muslim skullcap or Jewish kippah, and other cultural peculiarities. They are cousins, but can hardly tolerate each other. Providence has fated them to co-exist side by side. However, a seething revulsion has been existing between both parties since present day Israel was carved out of Palestine after World War II.
Hitler did not suddenly wake up overnight to order the extermination of six million Jews. No, he started by disrobing them of their humanity in word and deed. Nazis referred to Jews as rats. In a similar fashion, Hutus who participated in the Rwanda genocide called Tutsis cockroaches. Throughout history, slave owners considered slaves subhuman animals.
These children of Abraham on both sides of the conflict are equally villains and saints, depending on where or when you want to start tracing their history. Their circumstances and pathological short fuse have over the ages ensured that they remain perpetual enemies sworn to Mutually Assured Destruction while insisting on a revised standard version of when and where the rain started to beat each tribe.
“I am shocked by the misrepresentations of some of my statements … as if I was justifying acts of terror by Hamas. This is false. It was the opposite,” he told reporters. He told the 15-member UN Security Council that it was vital to be clear that war has rules, starting with the fundamental principle of respecting and protecting civilians.
The Palestinians, too, have been accused of using their civilian population as human shields and locating their assault weapons in civilian areas. Their supporters say where else could Hamas have located their weapons when Israel has forcefully annexed most of their land. Israel, too, started distributing videos showing an Israeli commander marking his troops with signs of the cross to give the impression that they were Christians. It is well known that about 73.8 percent of the Israeli population is Jewish, 18 percent Muslim, 1.9 percent Christian, and 1.6 percent Druze. The internet is rife with videos of Jews denouncing Christianity and expressing their preference for Islam over Christianity which they see as idolatry .
