Still, the reader plods on to one atrocity after another, culminating in the modern period where the "practitioners of the religion of peace and love" merge on their Genocidal path to the attempt to destroy all and every Jew that ever lived.
That we as a society, tolerate and speak with the likes of the Iranians, Syrians, Hiz'b'allah, Hamas, is an illustration of how far down the slippery slope we are. The resurgence of anti Semitism in Europe and here in America at some of our major Universities should be warning enough. The Qur'an is clearly and unequivicably the Muslim version of Mein Kampf.
A must, and very difficult read for any person seriously concerned about this very dangerous Cult that is ISLAM
Some of these roots and their nourishing streams touch upon geology, cultural traditions, ideology, government, and modern corporate practices. Black does not paint a glowing picture of Arab culture, but neither is he about to salute the virtues of the western powers. The fact is (and this is a key to the dynamics leading up to the Farhud) the Arabs were betrayed in their hopes and expectations of a unified Arab state by the victorious allies in World War I. That, and then having to see the birth of a Jewish state fueled resentment that "justified" in the Arab mind a dual opposition to the British as well as the Jews, and alliance with Hitler was the path to "killing two birds" together.
There is another important aspect of this work, and that is the context Black gives us for understanding the notorious "Transfer Agreement" between Zionist Jews and the new Nazi regime. This event is often cited by flaming anti-Israel zealots as an example of nefarious Zionists doing anything to realize their plan to "steal" Palestine. Well, it isn't so simple as that, and you will know why if you read Black's searing account of anti-Jewish progroms in European countries and the reluctance of other nations to allow those fleeing for their lives to enter and take refuge. Where were the Jews to go? Black clarifies an important point--that in such a warped, hate-filled, and what we Christians call the "fallen" world there may be times when the only recourse left is to make a deal with the devil and try to save something. The Zionists, according to Black, were the only ones who understood that as bad as the pogroms were, things could get a lot worse, and people needed to have a place to go. He also gives us good reasons why the Zionists were opposed by other Jews, who felt themselves thoroughly assimilated into countries where they felt identified nationally and trusted in the civilized realities they were accustomed to. Why go to a flea infested, sweltering desert environment like Palestine?
One can understand what the Arabs were looking at from their point of view: the transmission of a largely German colony in the historic environment of the Middle East. This does not, of course, excuse the fundamentally anti-semitic element in Arab culture nor the Islamic-inspired savagery of the Farhud. Far from it. It's just that Black writes in such a way as to illuminate the various perturbations at work in this whole sordid story.
