The dhimmitude of Prince Charles from 1986
A 31-year-old letter penned by a young Prince Charles has stirred controversy for suggesting that ''foreign Jews'' were to blame, in part, for the troubles of the Middle East.He's basically part of a whole crowd of European politicians who not only harbors hostility to Israel, but also to America. His letter's already drawn some outrage, but so far, it doesn't look like he's ready to apologize, and has no regrets about Britain's past conduct on Israel either.
The letter, which was released by The Daily Mail on Saturday, also includes suggestions that the US should deal with the ''Jewish lobby,'' a term considered by some to be antisemitic in its conflation with age-old tropes about the wealth and power of Jews. Charles penned it immediately after returning from an official visit to Saudi Arabia with then-wife Princess Diana.
''I now begin to understand better their [Arabs'] point of view about Israel. Never realized they see it as a US colony. I now appreciate that Arabs and Jews were all a Semitic people originally and it is the influx of foreign, European Jews (especially from Poland, they say) which has helped to cause great problems. I know there are so many complex issues, but how can there ever be an end to terrorism unless the causes are eliminated?'' Charles wrote.
Over the course of the 20th century, millions of Jews immigrated to Israel from across the Middle East and Europe, many fleeing as refugees from oppressive regimes and institutionalized antisemitism. In the years leading up to the Holocaust, Britain blocked Jewish immigration to Palestine [Israel], turning thousands away, many to certain death in concentration camps.
While the Prince is largely an apolitical figure, he has been critical of American policy in the Middle East.
