‘Israel, What Went Wrong’: Omer Bartov on genocide in Palestine

Revisionist history has a old bastard pedigree. From the NT to the Koran to Arafat Philistine Palestinians. Evil people love to employ lies and slander to govern the masses – classic Greek rhetoric.


Chag Shevuoth 46th day of the Omer – struggling to remove tuma middot from within the Yatzir Ha’Ra of the hearts of my people. The counting of the Omer accomplished through the שם מ”ב and the Divine soul Name האל, initially dedicated when we burn the חמץ prior to Pesach; but culminates upon the dedication of the soul Name האל upon Chag Shevuath – tefillah a matter of dedication of tohor middot within the heart – תורה לא בשמים הוא. Torah scholarship distinguishes the רוח הקודש thirteen middot Spirits “pronouns” of the 1st Commandment לא בשמים הוא Name which breathes the spirit of life into the chosen Cohen people whenever we do wisdom commandments known as time-oriented mitzvot; which Moshe Rabbeinu heard orally at Horev. As contrasted by the much later rabbinic פרדס inductive logic which relies upon warp/weft middot: the 7 Yovel middot, 10 judicial justice middot, and 13 pursuit of righteousness middot – halacha thread vs. the 32 Aggadic middot – woven into the halachic precedents which the Amoraim sages brought to interpret the language of some specific Home Mishna – which the Gemara views from different fixed “witness” perspectives. Jewish common law a courtroom legalism. As opposed and contrasted by Greek and Roman fiat statute law (cult of personality) legislative decrees, issued by authorities on High – as if from Heaven itself. Later such ‘Royal Fiat’ called the ‘Divine Right of Kings’, which the Magna Carta originally challenged and the American and French revolutions permanently uprooted.

Contrast revisionist history, which as a hard rule, behaves like a pig; that presents its cloven feet, and declares itself kosher. A more specific example: the public display of a bastard pedigree, presented through the ‘Son of God’ metaphor. From the NT to the Koran to Arafat Philistine Palestinians – Evil power hungry people love to employ lies and slander to govern the clueless masses – herein defines classic Greek rhetoric. The Romans developed Greek rhetoric by maintaining cheap bread prices in Rome to conceal the corruption and debauchery of the court of Caesar!

No serious historian says “the United States was created in 1776,” because nations – founded, declared, or achieve independence, not “created” as if by divine fiat mythology; akin to Romans sucking the tits of a mamma wolf. [Nakba: the humiliation of failing to stop the creation of Israel] False. God creates. Israel won its national independence by winning a war. France in 1789 established as their Constitution ‘The Rights of Man’. The ensuing general European wars that followed express the rejection of Monarchy governments to the revolutionary French democracy. The modern state of Greece likewise defeated the Ottoman Turks, as likewise did Muhammad Ali of Egypt! India had developed vibrant economy, until British imperialism raped that land; all the while – employing the rhetoric of calling conquered India – the Crown Jewel of the British empire! To state otherwise = revisionist history.

[The collapse of Arab political society] False; never in all Human history a Palestinian state. Arabs who fled League Mandated territories labelled “Palestine”, followed by the loss of the war which 5 to 7 Arab states started, has consequences. Once these refugees – who never embraced the British Palestine Mandate throughout 1923 to 1948 – fled, they lost all claims to 1948 Israel. The PLO 1964 Charter states openly that only ’48 Israel “occupied territory”. Later post ’67 attempts by the UN Security Council to pass off the illegal Jordanian West Bank as the legitimate lands of a Palestinian state – likewise revisionist history. In 1950 only England and Pakistan validated the Jordanian nationalization “West Bank” as part of Trans-Jordan “East Bank”; all other UN members condemned Jordans annexation of Samaria as illegal. Post ’67 UN fiat decrees like 242, 338, 446, 2334 etc promote the abracadabra rhetoric that the “West Bank” “illegal occupied territory”. England severed Trans-Jordan from its Palestine Mandated territories at the Jordan river in 1923.

Arab propaganda which compares “the Zionist entity” to Mideaval Chrusader states – another utter distortion of facts and history. [Later dominant Palestinian meaning (especially post‑1960s)] Imposing later revisionist history conclusions upon earlier historical facts – utterly false. Nakba for it to apply to Arab refugees must equally apply to the greater number of Jewish refugees expelled from almost all Arab countries in 1948. Arab revisionist propaganda does NOT extend Nakba to Jewish ’48 refugees. Therefore post-1960s a blagard-lie to foist Nakba upon post defeat Arab refugee populations. If for no other reason that such propaganda conceals the even greater disgraces perpetuated by UNWRA and all Arab states – which promotes the bait & switch Nakba onto Arab refugees and conceals the failure of all Arab states to repatriate their refugee populations!

Kapo Israeli revisionist historians – a curse of the ערב רב since Israelites left Egypt. My question centers upon Omer Bartov, why this man accepts patent Arab propaganda as anything other than a bald faced lie? Bartov’s reasoning is not theological, not Zionist, and not rooted in the political history of the Mandate. His entire intellectual world comes from genocide studies, ethnic violence, and comparative nationalism.

Bartov attempts to compare the Arab attempt to throw the Jews into the Sea in 1948 and again later in 1967 with the blagard-slander of ‘Zionist Ethnic cleansing’! Such false comparisons to Galicia, Volhynia, the Balkans, Anatolia, Rwanda, Bosnia – actual autrocities of ‘Ethnic cleansing’ – to the post ’48 plight of Arab refugees amounts to political porn. Why?

Israel openly accepted the Peel Commission of 1936 which contributed to the British sponsored UN 181, where two-thirds of all UN member states recognized Jews equal rights to achieve self determination as originally envisioned by the Balfour Declaration\Palestine mandate of 1922. Compound the fact, the declared Arab intent to complete the Nazi genocide of Jews permanently removes any and all comparison, made by Bartov with these distant other Goyim massacres of Goyim. Proof for this fact: Israel gave Israeli citizenship to ’48 Arabs. No Arab state has ever repatriated the ’48 and later ’67 Arab refugee populations.

Bartov reaches conclusions based upon shallow superficial reactionary comparisons; akin to the ICJ condemnation of Israel for war crimes post the Oct 7th 2023 slaughter of some 1200 Israelis perpetuated by Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and UNWRA criminals. His emotional empathetic reactions to Arab displaced refugees taken completely out of context to larger Jewish displaced refugee populations during the same period of time! One hand clapping produces only the lies of sound. ’48 Arab refugees never existed in the fabled numbers of “hundreds of thousands”! This UNWRA revisionist history utterly false. A lie equal to, the UN false pretense of a permanent Palestine Mandate – to this very day! Had the Arabs won their war of extermination how would Bartov frame that as “history”? Post war ’48 Arabs did NOT experience “ethnic cleansing”. That’s a blood libel host desecration Jews poisoned the wells lie. Such a lie, compares to condemning the US dropping bombs on Tokyo for the ‘war crime’ of Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor!

Bartov looks at 1948 almost only through the lens of “what happened to Arafat’s Pie in the Sky ‘Palestinians’,” and not “what the ’48 war exposed”. Arab states steadfast rejection that dhimmi Jews have equal rights to achieve self-determination in their own homeland! This Arab revisionist history lie. stands upon the foundation of the Koran itself; which about 2000 years after the revelation of the Torah at Sinai, its false prophet Muhammad fundamentally rejected; the Koran declares that Jews lied and replaced Yitzak for Yishmael at the Akadah; Arabs lie straight from their mothers’ milk! Benny Morris, Yoav Gelber, Anita Shapira – the burden rests upon them to prove that “several hundred thousand Arab refugees” in 1948 some how created out of the blue hocus pocus witchcraft!

More Jewish villages depopulated in Arab countries than Arab villages depopulated on orders from their own military leadership! Bartov’s shallow reactionary one-hand clapping bs duplicates to thousands of years after the fact NT and Koran revisionist substitute history/theology. His historical analysis compares to Stalin’s expunging the contributions of Leon Troskii in order to seize the helm of Lenin’s ‘Dictatorship of the Proletariat’.
