As the people that populate the Jewish lobby play games, something about them, about what they do and about the way they do it captures the imagination and fascinates those of us who spend time watching them and studying their antics. We look at the plethora of the Judeo-Israeli machinations they employ as they go about implementing their plans and we realize that the metaphors which best describe the situations they engineer are numerous but that each metaphor represents only a small part of the story. And so, to reflect the whole story, we sometimes feel compelled to mix the metaphors but then something tells us that in so doing, we violate an unwritten rule of literature – the one that says we should seek forgiveness when we mix the metaphors. And so, after a few moments of hesitation and deep reflection, we go ahead and do the mixing in the hope that the readers will forgive us. Well, the following is one such example for which I seek forgiveness.
First, there is a story that can be classified as a fable. It is circulating in the Middle East, especially in Israel and it goes something like this: A scorpion asked a frog to take it across the creek and the frog agreed. The scorpion got on the back of the frog and when they reached the middle of the creek, the scorpion bit the frog that began to die. “Why did you do it?” asked the frog “I am going to die and so will you.” The scorpion replied: “I can't help it. It's my nature to bite, to poison and to kill. I do it regardless of the consequences.” The moral of this story is captured by the less deadly image of the English saying: “They bite the hand that feeds them.”
Second, there is the story that was told by Seventeenth Century French poet Jean de La Fontaine who wrote a short fable with a long title that goes like this: “La grenouille qui veut se faire aussi grosse qu'un boeuf” which translates into: “The frog that wants to make itself as big as an ox.” It is the story of a frog that saw an ox and was so impressed by its size it wanted to become as big. To get there, it stretched itself, puffed and labored till it punctured and deflated completely. The moral of this story, according to La Fontaine, is that the world is full of people who want to look bigger than they are but end up puncturing themselves and deflating.
These two metaphors help us visualize the diplomatically difficult moments that America is experiencing nowadays as a result of the odd relationship it maintains with Israel in the Middle East and the Jewish lobby in America. The question that comes to mind is which of the two metaphors more accurately reflects what is happening in real life. We also wonder what result will ultimately materialize as a consequence of these relationships. We realize that the frog is a common element to both stories and that it is doing badly in both fables. This says there is a certain inevitability to the notion that America will get hurt in the end but the question is whether the Israeli scorpion will bite America or whether America will puncture itself on the advice of the Jewish lobby. We cannot be certain which alternative will win out ultimately and so we use both metaphors to describe what we see at this point.
When we analyze the situation further, we realize that there is nothing new in a minority of people going to America and being discriminated against to then be assimilated by society and do well thereafter. This has been the story of the Irish, the Italians, the Germans, the Poles, the Jews and many other minorities including the most recent ones such as the Asians and the Arabs. But what sets the Jews apart from all the other groups is that despite the fact they always say their ambitions are no different from those of everyone else – mainly to be assimilated and be treated as equals – they constantly renege on that promise and go past society's acceptance of them as newcomers to seek the outright domination of the established order. And the remarkable thing about their transformation is that they do not stop for a moment to catch their breath or give anyone the time to know them or to get used to them. What happens instead is that they go from being a minority group (regarded as having an inferior status) to that of seeking dominance (viewed as a superior status) in the blink of an eye thus bypassing the middle class where no more than a handful of Jews have ever sojourned for any length of time.
This meteoric rise of the Jews in terms of the power and influence they have accumulated in a short period of time contrasts sharply with the established pattern which has always been that the newcomers went from being a disadvantaged minority to being of the middle class before a handful of the families (not the entire group) graduated to join the dominant upper class and enjoy the expanded influence that goes with it. And what made matters look even more striking was the method that the Jews have employed to seek and to achieve dominance. What they did was to accumulate credit for themselves as a group by discrediting the other groups and by beating up on many of the individuals. The Jewish leaders did this by adopting the creepy and relentless method of advocating for their causes at the expense of everyone else. In fact, they picked on every major race and every religion in the American melting pot and went after them one by one doing to each what the scorpion did to the frog in the Middle Eastern fable. And they have advanced toward their goals by exempting not a single hand from their bite whether the hand had fed them on a previous occasion or had not. And the biting rampage of the Jewish scorpion went on until it met a boogeyman it could stay with and use as the eternal prey on which to exercise its biting habit and deadly urges. That prey was the Arab and Muslim stereotype.
What helped the Jewish organizations score a few successes and what contributed to the inflation of their stature in the eyes of the American political elite was the way that they proceeded to implement their plans. They repeatedly and opportunistically took advantage of the events unfolding in the Middle East and spun them in such a way as to make mountains out of happenings that were not worth a hill of beans. Moreover, these were events that they engineered themselves in collaboration with their partners in Israel. What they managed to accomplish in the final analysis was to make Israel appear indispensable to the security of America. They went on to make the point that they -- as Jewish Americans -- were part and parcel of the Israeli phenomenon and they argued that without their effort to constantly push the American Congress and the Administration to work for the preservation of Israel, the Jewish state will perish at the hands of the Arab-Muslim ogre, an event that will endanger the security of America and presage her ultimate demise. The two nations were now joined at the hip.
To the Jewish organizations that never set a limit as to how far they will go to grab something and hold on to it, the joining of America and Israel at the hip was not enough for them. To motivate the American governing apparatus and make it embrace the view that America's fate was tied to that of Israel even more enthusiastically, the Jewish leaders employed a trick that was truly demonic. They picked the American virtue of modesty which was based on America's self confidence and they turned it into a grotesque Yiddish spoof which, on close inspection, turned out to be full of self doubt. The fact is that the Americans never developed the need to growl they were exceptional, let alone shout their exceptionalism from the rooftops. And they never bragged about themselves in public because they had the achievements that spoke glowingly about them. Despite all this, the Jewish leaders constructed a pompous discourse and placed the idea of American exceptionalism at its center. And they stealthily injected that discourse into the American culture like the drug pushers who get people hooked on something useless then start the business of fleecing them clean.
To do that, the Jewish leaders used the image that millions of people in America and outside of it have in their heads of what has come to be called the American dream. They turned that image into an object and made the acceptance of it a litmus test by which to determine the level of loyalty that people have for America. This done, they melded the idea of American exceptionalism with the idea of the Jews being the chosen children of God, and they argued that America shall continue to exist only as long as Israel will continue to exist. In conclusion, they made the point that it was in America's existential interest to protect Israel and see to it that the Jewish state remains viable economically and militarily. This meant that America must continue to send provisions to Israel even when America was having difficulty providing for its own people. As can be seen, the net result of the Jewish machinations has been that a simple idea the size of a frog was inflated to take on the size of an ox, something that La Fontaine had warned never to do. And in the process, America's virtue of quiet greatness was tossed out to be replaced by a Yiddish display of exceptional pomposity and the self doubt that does not suit a superpower such as America was before the American dream was yiddishized.
And despite all this, it was so far so good as far as the Jewish organizations were concerned. However, unknown to them was the fact that they had overlooked a small detail which, in the end, did them in. In order for them to score the successes that they did, they had relied on something as Jewish as matzoh bread. It was the reality that the most ancient and most formidable of autocratic rules has been and still is the Jewish method of ruling over a people, and their method of governing a nation. Yes, they got to where they wanted to go but they left a bitter taste in the mouth of most people who then began to ask themselves: How did they get there?
Slowly but surely, the American people began to realize that because the Jewish leaders have developed an unrivaled mastery at manipulating human beings emotionally, they were able to do in America what no Stalin could do in Russia and no Idi Amin could do in Uganda. They were, in fact, able to install the collar of self censorship and obedience around the neck of all the American members of the governing elite and most members of the public. In fact, the American people now see and they understand the sneaky way by which the Jewish leaders took advantage of their goodness who, as human beings, responded with empathy when the Jews cried the refrain of anti-Semitism. But the people of America have come to realize that these were phony refrains, and that the tears accompanying them were crocodile tears.
Until that realization on the part of the American people, the Jewish leaders were intimidating just about everyone, and they managed to shut them up almost completely. This allowed the Jews who had talent and those who had none to take over the megaphones of the nation and tighten their monopoly over them. These included the regular media and every platform from which the public could be reached and communicated with. When they completed that operation, the Jewish leaders started to manufacture lies by the truckloads and they spread them unhindered all over the country for nearly half a century because there was no one left standing that could correct them or push back against their nonsense.
And the result of the Jewish plan for America has been that not a hiss considered to be a probing of an Israeli or a Jewish position was heard without its author being obliterated like a corpse inside a high temperature incinerator. In fact, Christian and Muslim individuals were socially, financially and professionally holocausted for exercising the right to express themselves in the land of the First Amendment and the land of the free as they continued to call themselves even though they knew that they and their country were now in hot water. In short, America became a land where thought was and still is controlled by commissars of the Jewish organizations that not only model themselves after the Nazi secret police called Gestapo but seek to outdo it. And no one but no one to this day dares to say so in America without being hounded like a fox on fox hunting day.
Despite all this, the American people are beginning to show unease at what their country is becoming, and a few have started to work on reversing the situation. Consequently, this episode of the drama is not over yet, and the test as to its future direction will come when America will face the choice of standing on the side of history and voting to admit Palestine as a new member at the United Nation, or turning its back on history and voting against the resolution. A yes vote will restore America's natural greatness that needs no fanfare to attract attention; a no vote will deepen the disgust that the world has for America. In the latter case, no amount of vociferation about American exceptionalism will restore the respect or the affection that the world used to have for America, respect and affection that were sabotaged by the treasonous hands of the Jewish manipulators.
This brings me to the realization that the two metaphors cited at the beginning of this discussion are not enough to reflect the complete reality as it now stands. Thus, I must invoke a third metaphor to reflect the story as it looks at this time. To do this, I acknowledge that the situation has reached the current stage because the events have evolved slowly, methodically and in a creepy way. Consequently, I see a parallel between the story of America and the story of the frog that did not feel the slow rise in the water's temperature until it was too late. But I believe that America still has a little time left to jump out of the hot water if it so decides. And so it is with trepidation that I ask the question: Will it or won't it?
Until something happens one way or the other, this new metaphor will remain without a punchline. Eventually, time will tell what the punchline will be and what history will record.
