The American edition of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published an editorial on September 7, 2009 reprinted from the European edition under the title: “The UN’s New Censor” and the subtitle: “The next head of Unesco has a record that speaks for itself.” On that same day the New York Times (NYT) published a column written by Roger Cohen under the title: “An Egyptian for Unesco”, and a report by Michael Slackman sent from Cairo under the title: “Private Motive for Egypt’s Public Embrace of a Jewish Past.”
The two opinion articles decry the fact that Egypt’s Minister of Culture, Mr. Farouk Hosni, is considered the favored candidate to be elected head of Unesco. In fact, the subtitle of the WSJ’s editorial suggests that the paper felt the victory of the man was inevitable.
The condemnation of Mr. Hosni by the two articles and the brouhaha that was raised with regard to the entire situation are not surprising because there is nothing new in them. This was a moment best expressed by a saying made famous by the late President of the United States, Ronald Reagan when he cried out: “Here we go again!” Indeed, that same group of Egypt haters did it when Boutros Ghali’s time came to be reappointed head of the United Nations where they succeeded in blocking the move, and did it again when Mohammad El Baradei’s time came to be reappointed head of the world atomic watchdog where they failed to block the move. Like goes the axiom: You win some and you lose some. But what is clear is that the World Jewish organizations and their journalistic lackeys in the English media have declared war on Egypt and they are not relenting one bit.
Let us look at the WSJ’s editorial. Having mentioned the plea that Mr. Hosni made to his critics to look at his entire record and not be fixated on a single sentence he may have uttered at one time, the Journal ends with their typical one-liner wisecrack: “One can only hope that Unesco’s executive council does just that.” Well, the executive did just that and they did it long before the Jewish organizations lit the fires of fake indignation under the pants of the editorial writers at the WSJ. And they came to the conclusion that it was okay for Mr. Hosni to be considered for the job.
Perhaps I should dwell on this point a little longer to give the reader a wider perspective as to what is going on here. There was a time long ago, before Mr. Obama was elected President of the United States that Blacks were deliberately made to feel inferior in their own country, America. However, most of them ignored these attempts and went about their lives as normally as possible. But this was not the case with a few young men who were irritated by the situation, in response to which they created and turned into folklore a walk which I believe came to be known as the Duck Walk. And you can imagine what it looked like.
This was the way that the young men communicated to their tormentors this message: “I don’t care what you think of me; I know what I am worth and you will not change that.” Well, it is known that some stuffed shirt Americans suffer from a sense of intellectual inferiority when they compare themselves to the Europeans. And what do the likes of the editors at the WSJ do about it? They adopt the wisecrack method of ending their editorials as they did in their European edition; a sort of literary Duck Walk they modeled after that of the Black youngsters. And it is with this method that the stuffed shirt Americans say to the Europeans who never bother to talk to them: “You may think we are inferior to you but we are not. And we shall prove it as soon as we find something intelligent to say, you’ll see.” Dear reader, I am citing this historical moment because I thought you might be interested to know.
But enough talk about the fake quackery displayed by the Wall Street Journal and let us look at the more authentic complaints registered by Roger Cohen in his NYT column. He ends the piece by saying he wants to drain: “the poisonous well from which his [Hosni’s] own … venom was drawn.” Be that as it may, will Roger Cohen now write a column and honestly report that the Foreign Minister of Israel said he wants to bomb the Aswan dam in Egypt, an act that will flood the country and kill as many as 80 million people? This done, will Cohen then advocate that the well from which Lieberman and all those like him draw be drained of its venom?
I doubt that Cohen will do such a thing because I know that any Jew who wants to remain a Jew will never do so as this would mean renouncing their Jewishness. There is another reason I mention at the end but for now, the idea of inflicting unlimited hurt on Egypt is the stuff that the Old Testament is made of and this is literally the Bible of the Jews. It is written in this Bible that the God of the Jews did a good thing when he made the Egyptians suffer which is why the anniversaries of such events are celebrated to this day with nostalgia, great jubilation and the expectation that God will do it again and again and again.
That is the well from which Avigdor Lieberman had been drawing when he was growing up in Russia, and it is the well from which he is now drawing as he lives in Israel. And religion being a portable thing, Lieberman has taken his everywhere he went as will Roger Cohen everywhere he will go tomorrow, the day after and every day after that. Judaism is based on the stories of the Exodus and those of Moses, and these are synonymous with the destruction of Egypt. To fantasize about them is to pray like a devout Jew, and Lieberman is only displaying how devout he is.
And this is not just a recent manifestation of that reality. In fact, when in 1967 Israel launched a Pearl Harbor style attack in a six-day blitz that started the six-year war which ended with the booting of the Israelis out of the Sinai in 1973, the blitz was carried live on the Canadian broadcasting network. A reporter by the name of Joe Schlesinger was allowed to co-anchor the broadcast where he kept asking with a sense of jubilation and with great expectation if the Israelis had bombed the Aswan dam yet. Evidently he was anxious to see millions of Egyptians swallowed by the water as they cried for help in the manner that the Jewish book of religion describes such events in antiquity. And all you need to do is listen carefully to what these people say to each other to realize that this is how things have tasted in their mouths since the first drop of milk they drew out of the breast of their mothers. This horror is both the religion and the mother’s milk of modern Jews.
And this brings us to the Michael Slackman report in the NYT. He mentions a number of people, among whom a 62 year old man called Yousef. Slackman met him in what he says used to be called Alley of the Jews. This must be the same “Haret El Yahood” I knew very well when I lived in Cairo some half a century ago as a teenager. Yousef told Slackman he moved there when he was 12 which means it was 50 years ago, about the time that I was there. And Yousef went on to say that he “…remembered having Jewish neighbors but never thought of them as Jewish. They were just Egyptians, like everyone else.” Well, I did not live in Haret El Yahood but some of my Jewish schoolmates did, and we were so close we studied together and spent nights in each others’ homes.
My friends were Jews of Egyptian, Armenian, Persian and European descent whose ancestors went to Egypt seeking safety and opportunity. The best part I liked about my friendship with them was the part where the mothers claimed that the dish made of eggplants called Musaka was invented where they came from and they all competed to make the best dish of all so as to impress us. That was one delicious competition and we, the kids, made sure never to call any mother the clear winner. Our strategy was to keep the mothers competing about the Musaka and about the other dishes as well as the pastries that came after them for dessert. I have fond memories of those years and I can relate to what Yousef told Michael Slackman.
So then, what happened? Well, like Yousef says, 1967 happened. I was not there when the war happened but was here in Canada having left Egypt with the family 3 years before. And I can imagine what they must have gone through in there because I know what I went through in here as the rabbis set out to “educate the public” as to the realities of Jewish behavior. In a field where there was not a single Arab who could or would push back, the Jewish organizations in North America mounted a solo campaign of slurs, insults and defamation that would have made the Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels cringe. They used expressions like mad dogs and wounded animals to describe the Arabs, and they drew cartoons in major newspapers like the one that depicted the Arabs as bugs being exterminated by a hand bearing the Star of David spraying insecticide on them.
So I wrote a letter to the editor which was published in 1968 in the Toronto Star under the title: “Don’t listen to propaganda, Egypt is a civilized country.” Neither Israel nor the Jews were mentioned in the article, and I attacked no one. I simply said that Egypt was a country that has contributed a great deal to Civilization and that it was a nice place. But guess what happened, I was visited by a member of the Canadian Jewish Congress who warned me never to try such a thing again. I rejected the advice and kept trying only to realize how futile it was to try and get published in a culture where freedom of the press is something they brag about like the eunuch who brags about his stud-like potency. Folks, castrated journalism is not worth a toilet paper; get off your fantasy of believing you are free because you don’t know what that means.
As for me, I stopped hoping I’ll ever get published but I kept going through the motion of trying to be published so as to gain first hand knowledge on the subject and report to the world with authority that: I saw Hell and it has the Star of David stamped all over it. Year after year, I saw close-up how the Jewish organizations tightened the noose around the neck of the English media which in the end became as much a part of Hell as the never-flushed urinal in the workshop of the devil-in-chief himself.
Yes, like says Roger Cohen, there are wells full of venom that need to be drained. Some wells were filled after 1967 at the hand of the rabbis that set out to educate them but these have the antidote to neutralize the venom and they are working on it. The problem is not with them; it is with those who suckle the venom with their mother’s milk and make it their religion. To drain these wells, you must drain the breast of every Jewish mother that breastfeeds the Lieberman style hatred of aggression and racism to her children. But will Roger Cohen advocate this?
