Daily Times July 16, 2021 The purpose of this trilogy of articles was to find out why antisemitism is a misnomer and anti-Zionism would be the right substitute for it. It is because the demand for a country called Israel, in the place Palestine where Arabs have been living for centuries, is a part of the Jewish mythology formed over centuries. Mainly, Israel is a place where Jews wish to be because there is safety for them–a wish that is kept by most people in the world. There used to be a short-lived Israel some two thousand years ago, but where would the world end up if all and everybody demanded to go back to the place where they might have lived two thousand years ago? If Mongols said they once conquered Baghdad so people get out, we are coming back? What about a Kurdish state? Saladin was Kurdish. He led the Muslim military campaign against the Crusader states in the Levant. At the height of his power, his sultanate spanned Egypt, Syria, the Jazira (Upper Mesopotamia), the Hejaz (western Arabia), Yemen, parts of western North Africa, and Nubia. Could Kurds claim that as the territory for their state?
