SHMULEY BOTEACH<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

IS is a group of creatures who through their brutality have erased the image of God from their countenance and no longer resemble anything human.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Kurds have essentially been the only group doing anything to battle Islamic State on the ground and save Yazidi men, women and children from enslavement and death.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the past few years, the West thought they could ignore this \u201ccontained\u201d holocaust that\u2019s been raging in Syria and Iraq.<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent months, Islamic State (IS) blew up a Russian passenger jet, France saw the slaughter of its citizens in the streets of Paris, and the US experienced a massacre of 14 people in sunny California. These acts add to the growing list of IS-inspired attacks and attempted attacks that have caused the Western world to open its eyes to the evil proliferating across the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now, finally a number of willing nations have stepped up the war against IS, with not the US but Russia leading the way, and the IS is suddenly finding itself on the ropes, with territory being lost and fighters losing courage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Something I have found so surprising throughout all these events is how IS and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi have hardly made even the smallest mention of Israel or the Jews. I was waiting for that inevitable day when IS would declare its intentions to destroy Israel and commit genocide against the Jewish people.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s kind of a coming of age, a rite of passage for a terrorist group when the day comes that they announce their intentions to wipe out the Israelites. But the weeks and months passed and we heard not a peep.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was not alone in noticing this. For the past few years a favorite rumor among conspiracy theorists and haters of Israel alike has been that IS is actually a Mossad organization, and Baghdadi is in reality a Jew.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why else have they not done anything to harm the Jews? After all, no one can deny that, barring immediate existential threats, the Jews pretty much always receive the top honors on the genocide wish lists of terrorist organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now suddenly this last Saturday, after IS had finally taken a real beating from Western forces and air strikes, Baghdadi released a message to his demoralized fighters in which he declares, \u201cWe are getting closer to you [Israel] day by day. Do not think that we have forgotten about you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Baghdadi continues, \u201cGod caused the Jews of the world to gather in Israel, and the war against them has become easy. It is the obligation of every Muslim to carry out Jihad.\u201d He added, \u201cJews, you will not enjoy Palestine. God has gathered you in Palestine so that the Mujahedeen can reach you soon and you will hide by the rock and the tree.<\/span><\/p>\n

Palestine will be your graveyard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Baghdadi\u2019s threats could have been a little more original, seeing as how Hezbollah\u2019s head Hassan Nasrallah has also previously claimed that the Jews were gathered to Israel to make it easier to kill them all, and Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have referenced the same Hadith about the rocks and trees calling for Muslims to kill the Jews at the end of days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Baghdadi finally made the \u201ckill the Jews\u201d proclamation, and the timing is somewhat understandable. History has shown us that whenever the going gets tough for nations, blaming the Jews and promising to wipe them out has been an extremely effective technique for distracting the general population from its woes while uniting them behind a common cause. In 167 BCE, the Hellenized Syrians led by Antiochus Epiphanes realized their bloody campaign to conquer Egypt had failed. The Jews in Israel under Antiochus\u2019 dominion were a perfect scapegoat to vent their frustrations on, and the persecutions began.<\/span><\/p>\n

This put in motion the events that led to the rise of the Maccabees who soundly defeated the Syrians and declared independence for Judea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly the Nazis made good use of this technique in the wake of WWI. Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany\u2019s defeat and claimed an international Jewish conspiracy was responsible for the suffering of the German people. This set the foundation for the rise of the Nazis, WWII and the Holocaust.<\/span><\/p>\n

This scapegoating of the Jewish people by struggling leaders and nations has repeated itself over and over again in history. So now that Baghdadi has referenced the Jews, it\u2019s likely that things must be getting tough for IS. Once you play the Jew card, you\u2019re desperate for a scapegoat. And it seems to work every time. In fact, a recent article written by German reporter Jurgen Todenhofer who visited IS for 10 days claims that IS fears the Israeli army more than any other.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey told me they know the Israeli army is too strong for them,\u201d Todenhofer said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey think they can defeat US and UK ground troops, who they say they have no experience in city guerrilla or terrorist strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n

But they know the Israelis are very tough as far as fighting against guerrillas and terrorists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of IS\u2019s fear of starting a war with Israel, hatred of the Jews has been Baghdadi\u2019s ace in the hole all along. He knows it is the one thing that all Islamic terrorist organizations the world over can agree upon and rally behind (not to mention all neo-Nazi and racial supremacist groups as well). The blood of an infidel may be nice, but the blood of a Jew, now that really gets terrorists excited. The IS leader must be getting desperate if he\u2019s finally resorting to this time-honored technique.<\/span><\/p>\n

TOO BAD for Baghdadi that he\u2019s failed to learn from history. Sure, the outspoken hatred of the Jews can often times get someone into a position of power \u2013 as the Talmud itself teaches: \u201cWhoever harasses the Jews will find followers who make him a leader.\u201d But Baghdadi, and all the other haters of Israel, have failed to realize that every single one of those nations who persecuted and attempted genocide against the Jews, in the end faced calamity and destruction and are lost to the dustbin of history. And the Jews throughout it all have always managed to survive with each adversary they overcome, albeit with sacrifices far too numerous to justify the victorious outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has often been said that IS is a group of people who want to take the world back to the dark ages. I disagree. IS is a group of creatures who through their brutality have erased the image of God from their countenance and no longer resemble anything human. And the West needs to understand that an international ground troops coalition against them is a non-negotiable necessity before this disgusting cancer metastasizes and more innocent people die in the most gruesome way.<\/span><\/p>\n
