They have been saying that the Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity but those of us who know them well understood at once that the Israelis must have looked in the mirror, seen what was ailing them and attributed to the Palestinians what they saw in themselves. Indeed, accusing others of what they are has been the method of operation of these people since the beginning of time and they have not changed one iota. In fact, the opportunity is here now for the Jews of Israel and for their friends in New York to have the “normal country” they say they have been yearning to have for thousands of years but instead of grabbing it, they are kicking it now like they have been doing for decades. And once again a few gentiles have tried to understand this mentality but failed to find an explanation for the phenomenon because they used conventional methods to analyze what they were seeing. And so in the absence of a conclusion, it has become necessary to test a bold new idea and see if it will yield a satisfactory explanation as to what is going on.
Here is the idea. People who lost a limb say they sometimes feel as if they still have it; even feel the sensations that the limb used to impart. To explain the phenomenon, a number of psychiatrists called it a phantom sensation and attributed the manifestation to the refusal of the mind to accept the loss of the limb. If this sort of thing really happens, you need not stretch the imagination too far to see that a castrated eunuch may get the sensation of having an erection when testosterone is injected into his bloodstream by what used to turn him on. But true or not, the image of the castrated eunuch yearning to become a stud and acting like he is enjoying a phantom erection serves as a metaphor for the behavior of those Israelis and their friends when they speak of the political and military successes that Israel can still have and will again. Strange as it may seem, this state of the mind has been at the root of the rejectionist attitude which Israel and her supporters are exhibiting but this is not the whole story as there is more that can be said about it.
Like all metaphors, the Israeli phantom sensation is not a perfect one given that the hapless individual who lost a limb actually had it then lost it whereas the Israelis have scored but a few of the successes they fantasize about. From the beginning, they and their dreaming comrades only had the illusion of glorious achievements, an illusion that humanity allowed them to create and to maintain for various reasons, one being that the illusion kept them occupied and out of our collective hair. Yes, the Israelis and their friends looked funny at the beginning as they amused themselves and amused us with their antics but in the end, their game began to look more pornographic than anything else. And the sight of them playing out their fantasies began to irritate the people of the world, in consequence of which they were advised by all the decent people to refrain from playing the same game again in the manner that they did before.
To cite an example as to how that game was transformed from funny to pornographic, it was one thing to send jets and make a sonic boom over a neighbor’s city thus startle the people below but another to send American made helicopters armed with guided missiles to blow up mothers and their babies in the middle of the night as they slept in the quiet of their bedrooms. While this sort of behavior became the norm that Israel and her supporters lived by and saw reasons to be jubilant about, the rest of humanity determined that no fun could be had with such antics and no glory should be celebrated in the aftermath of the carnage. And while it can be argued that a sonic boom over a crowded city represented a sickly kind of psychological erection, the blowing up of women and children from afar represented a primitive sort of debauchery that nothing could justify. And so humanity let the Israelis and their friends know what we thought of their behavior.
To get a fuller sense of what motivates these characters and makes them tick, you need to understand the sordid saga that is behind their mentality. The saga had its genesis when their self-styled leaders began to follow the teachings of the book they call the Talmud. This is a book that took its present form less than two thousand years ago but has roots that go back two thousand more years before that. And it is written in this Talmud, in the style of the doublespeak, that the best way to lead a marauding life and live off your neighbors is to do what the ancient Hebrew tribes did which was to attack the peoples who least expected it while their guards were down and they sat utterly defenseless. You rob your victims, you murder their women and children and, for thousands of years, you brag about how potent you have been. It also helps to claim that God was on your side guiding you every step of the way in the execution of these God-awful and devilishly organized criminal treacheries.
The lesson to draw from the preceding is that when these cowardly characters plan to commit an act of murderous treachery, they do not advertise it. They wait for the most propitious moment to surprise their prey and deliver a blow as savagely as they can. In fact, they have proven repeatedly, in modern times as in the past, to be the most treacherous of all and so, when they deviate from their established habit and warn repeatedly that they are about to hit and destroy someone, you know they are having the false sensation of a phantom erection. The alternative view is that they are the ones who are about to be destroyed because, like they say it themselves: When God intends to destroy someone, He first renders them mad. They are certainly going mad and it could well be that like the rest of us, the big Guy up there got fed up with them and has decided to do something about it yet again.
Let us look at an example which illustrates how these characters play in modern times the game they used to play in biblical times. At first they appeared to score a few successes and so they got the idea that everything they do from now on will be met with success. To their credit, they managed to exert considerable influence on the media, especially those in the English speaking world. In fact, they made many publications cease to function like a medium of journalism, turning themselves into mouthpieces for promoting the glory of Israel, something they did wall to wall with tireless devotion. Most English media then became lobby groups that gladly went under the command of the self proclaimed Jewish organizations which used them to spread the Judeo-Zionist propaganda in every corner they saw a center of power they coveted and wished to dominate.
And here is a useful secret I divulge to my readers: If you can tell to what degree a publication has devoted itself to promoting the glory of Israel, you can paint a clear picture as to what transpires in the heads of the people who run the outfit, and by extension what transpires in the heads of the Jewish organizations that control it. Learning this will help you a great deal because you will feel like watching a movie whose ending you know will be banal but will in the meantime provide you with a sense as to the makeup of the world you live in and with valuable information about its unfolding around you.
So let me tell you of a method you can use by which you may assess the degree of control that the Jewish organizations exert on a journalistic outfit. The method has to do with the ancient cultures of the Middle East, including the Hebrew culture. The English word “milet” is derived from the Arabic word “mellah” which refers to a group of tribes that are loosely related to each other. A milet could be thought of as a nation except that these people were nomads who never had a territory of their own but moved from place to place in small groups. When such groups encountered each other in the desert, they needed a way to identify themselves to each other so they devised a few methods. One of these methods has survived to this day and is now used extensively in the entire Middle East. It got picked up by the Jewish organizations of the West and spread with a vengeance throughout the English speaking world where it was force fed to the population in the print media, from the reporters to the editors to the copy writers, and force fed to their counterparts in the audio-visual media.
In part 2 of the series, I discuss that method in detail, explain how it works in the Middle East today, show how it was transplanted into the Western culture and what the consequences have been for journalism, especially the English media.
