That Such Sentiments Still Find Audiences is Proximal Cause of World Not Surviving Without Israel

In other places as well as in this forum, it should no longer be a surprising situation that the most virulent forms of anti-Semitism beyond that of Islam finds compatible audiences since the hatred being instilled was found in ancient societies long before it was imbedded into pre-Crusader ideologies stemming from post-Roman empirical attempts of exterminating Israel and the diaspora.
That the term 'apartheid' was appropriated from its equally offensive racial use as an epithet of discrimination in Africa essentially brings the insidious nature of humanity divided against humanity; and where is the root and basis for that in any appropriate peaceful societal setting? History places one setting for that in Israel's history; so why are we surprised when Africa's inhumanities against humanity has modern connotations? When the Egyptian propensity for mistreating the Children of Abraham in Goshen caused Israel's Eternal Sovereign to act against Egypt, was this not the proximal reason that Egypt became the former land of Ra we see today; a land of tombs bereft of its former glory?
Those same attitudes then are at the roots of similar attitudes seen today and the results of continuing such attitudes will have no lesser consequences. But who is listening; not too many, right? Will they ever learn?
