As an American who among other attributes happens to be Jewish, I am sick and tired of Jews being used as a Political Prop and Israel being used as a Political Prop both domestically and internationally. When Politicians in America decide they need some extra donor cash, suddenly Jews in Israel become a priority. And when Politicians in the Purple States find themselves in a truly uphill battle to get elected to become re-elected, some of their best friends suddenly are Jews. And then some Politicians in very Red States, know that calling Neo Nazi’s/White Supremacists/Proud Boys or the KKK good people, once again it is the Jews used as a prop.
A prime example of using Jews as a Prop is, Ronnie DeSantis. DeSantis says Palestinian refugees from Gaza are 'all antisemitic' and taking them in would increase 'anti-Americanism' (Fortune). But yet, DeSantis keeps failing the most basic test in politics: denouncing Nazis. (Miami Herald) Props, yep, Israel, Israeli Jews, Jews of America, so many, especially Republicans, “Can’t live with Jews,” and at the same time, “can’t live without Jews.
And then we have Arab nations, who just refuse to get their whole stories together, and like their American Republican counterpart Politicians, love using Jews as Props. The implosion of the hospital in Gaza was sheer terrorism at its worst, with innocents bearing the brunt of people who seem to have little use for human life, and who also use innocents as Props. Facts seem to never matter with many Arab leaders, at least when they require Jews and Israel to remain their “BAD GUYS,” Props.
Where were the indignant pronouncements when Hamas tortured, burned, raped, and murdered innocents in Israel? Silence was the “golden rule,” in most Arab nations because to remain silent regarding Arab atrocities against Jews is a great use of a Prop. Now that facts are arising as to who and how the hospital was demolished, Silence, once again is the perfect Prop, to pretend to look the other way. Gaza is a Prop for way too many Arab leaders because by ignoring the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza, and never offering any real actions to assist them, Israel is the perfect Prop on which to place all of the blame.
Anti-Semitic terrorism in the United States has risen with the rise of Trump. He used Israel as a Prop to con his wealthy Jewish Donors, who, as I see it, used Israel as their Prop to somehow seem like good guys, all the while paying the bills for an Anti-Semitic Dictator to thrive. Is the love for Israel a true love by the Christian Evangelicals who seem to like the Jews in Israel, but do not prefer the Jews in the US, or are the Preachers using Israel as a Prop. I am tired, sick, and tired as an American who happens to be Jewish, being used as a Prop!
