On June 20, 2011 the Wall Street Journal published a piece by Warren Kozak under the title: “What If Jews Had Followed the Palestinian Path?” and the subtitle: “Postwar Jewish refugees left everything they had in Europe – no 'right of return' requested.” There is no doubt that some people will view this as a fair question and some who will view it as an unfair question. And there is no doubt that there will be those -- I among them -- who will say: Here we go again, another manifestation of the Alan Dershowitz syndrome which says that Israel and the Jews have the right to inflict on the Palestinians every crime that was ever inflicted by someone on someone else in all of history anywhere on this planet. But having made this point several times before, I shall not develop it here again. Instead, I shall look at the situation through the same lens as did Mr. Kozak. That is, I shall attempt to answer this question: What if Palestinians had followed the Jewish path? And see where this will lead.
At some point in the article, Warren Kozak says this: “...the Jewish refugees returned to their ancestral homeland. They left everything they had in Europe and turned their backs on the Continent – no 'right of return' requested. They were welcomed by the 650,000 Jewish residents of Israel.” Wow, see how nice this guy Kozak is? He is making the point for me because this is exactly what I was going to say which is exactly what I know the Palestinian refugees want for themselves. They want to return to their ancestral homeland and they are not requesting a “right of return” to any place that is not their homeland. The difference between them and the Jews, however, is that the Palestinians have lived in Palestine since the beginning of time. This is truly their homeland and they still have the keys to their homes in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ashdod and many other places to prove it. Now contrast this with the Jewish claim to Palestine which is based on hallucination and nothing more.
And yes, if there is something that the Christian and Muslim Palestinians want more than anything else, it is to be welcomed by the 1,000,000 or so Christian and Muslim residents of Israel. You see, my friend, the Palestinians and the Jews desire the same thing except that the Palestinians can prove they have the right to what they desire whereas the Jews can only attribute their desire to an intense bout of religious hallucination. If you were to judge whose narrative trumps the other, you will find that the balance of probability favors the Palestinians by something like a hundred million to one. There is no contest here; Palestine belongs to the Palestinians more than it does to someone who converts to Judaism to get a job at CNN or Fox News.
And this prompts us to ask a good question: Is Warren Kozak so ignorant that he could not see the fatal flaw in his logic and the colossal hole in his presentation? Of course not; all indications are that his level of intelligence is at least as good as average which means he has the wherewithal to understand the full implication of what he is saying and doing. So then why did he say it and why did he do it? Because he thought he could outsmart everyone else; that's why. You see, my friend, this is the problem with Jews. They get it with the mothers' milk that they are the smartest thing on the planet and all they have to do is blow a few puffs of smoke and erect a few mirrors then say anything they want and the world will believe it. In fact, smoke and mirrors make up the rest of Kozak's article and they were used precisely to distract the readers and to make them miss the flaw in the logic of the writer and the hole in his presentation.
In fact, Kozak begins the presentation by telling how bad the situation was for the Jews in the aftermath of the Second World War. He says they lived in refugee camps for a while but soon after that, the Jewish agencies backed by Jews living elsewhere in the world stepped in and helped the Jews in distress, something that the Arabs did not do with the Palestinians in distress. But how did the Jewish agencies help out? Aha, this is where the complication begins. You see, they took them to their ancestral homeland. Really? But was this not an idea formulated ages ago? Was it not an old plan that someone had worked on for generation? Yes, that is correct. So then, the idea of moving the Jews to Palestine had more to do with exploiting their misery to realize someone's old dream than it had to do with the desire to help them, correct? Well c'mon now, have you not heard of the saying: Ask me no question and I shall tell you no lie? Stop asking these embarrassing questions; by right of birth, the Jews have immunity against being asked questions for which there are no convincing lies.
Let us now talk about the Arabs. They were under Ottoman, British and French occupations as Kozak admits. They had no armies, no weapons, no ammunition and no training. The Jewish hordes came into Palestine armed with the most modern weapons in existence at the time. They had plenty of ammunition and some training which they made use of to steal Palestinian properties and settle on them. Their only opposition was the British occupiers of Palestine against whom they used terrorism, something they introduced to the Middle East and were called geniuses for doing it. Then they turned their terrorist activities against Palestinian families the way that the settlers do it today and they were cheered on then as much as they are today. Watching these developments from afar with the outdated observation and communication equipment of the era, the first thing that the other Arabs wanted to do was to save as many lives as they could which they may not have done well; I leave it to the experts to judge. But whatever they failed to do was due to their inability to do it not their lack of willingness.
When the Second World War ended and the Arabs began to obtain their independence one after the other, there was no oil rich Arab country and not one of them was fully industrialized. They were, in fact, Third World countries struggling to get up and stay up on their feet. They were not a part of the world that took in immigrants such as the Americas, New Zealand and Australia. Yet, despite all this, many Palestinians went to the Arab countries; they found a way to earn a living and were sometimes treated better than the locals. In fact, the world noticed right after the wars of the Nineteen Sixties and Seventies that the Palestinians did better and had a higher rate of education living in the Arab countries than most Arabs. When this reality began to hurt the Jewish propaganda machine, they changed the history they were telling to the North American audiences and started to push the false narrative that the Arabs exploited the Palestinians. This is what Kozak is doing in his article but give him a year or two and he will want to change history again. Like my Jewish friend would say, this is why Jews get their ass kicked everywhere in the world and their skin baked in the oven.
This is a harsh thing to say but it is a warning to the self-appointed leaders of the Jews who more than anyone else cause these things to happen to the Jews. Yet, they are the ones who vehemently object to being told what the consequences of their actions have been and where they may lead again. They point to every warning given to them and call it trivializing the Holocaust. And like everything else, they have a smart aleck remark they throw at you when you show them that they are the main contributors to the sentiment of anti-Semitism which flares up regularly throughout time throughout the world. The smart aleck remark is this: “Anti-Semites foster anti-Semitism not us.” And they never want to accept the possibility that they are being anti-Semitic unconsciously when no one else really is. To wit, they have been trying in the open to foster anti-Semitism and trigger an anti-Arab holocaust in North America for nearly half a century now by saying worse things about the Arabs than Joseph Goebbels ever said about the Jews and yet nothing happened. If there is a canard anywhere -- and these people always talk about canards – it is this accusation that the human race is by nature anti-Semitic and that the Jews are saints, the reason why the world hates them and wants to do away with them. This hallucination must stop or else legislated out of existence.
And we do not have to go too far to demonstrate what the consequences of the actions taken by the Jewish leaders have been. They are spelled out by non other than Warren Kozak himself in the very article I am here discussing. Look what he is saying: “Had the world's Jewish population played this situation as the Arabs and Palestinians have, everything would look very different today … they would now number in the many millions.” What he is saying, in effect, is that unlike the Arabs and the Palestinians who chose the path of life, the Jews have chosen the path of death. And what he is doing really is that he is lamenting that the Jews have refused to make the same choice as the Arabs. And yet, he is still making the same bad choice by puffing smokey ideas and erecting a wall of deceptive mirrors. The reality is that this culture is a lost cause today as it has been for thousands of years. It is time that we put it to rest by doing what the Arabs did, the reason why no holocaust or pogrom ever happened in an Arab country; don't let the Jews bullshit you. Stop them in their track the moment they begin to talk nonsense and don't let the thing play itself out to the end because the end will always be that someone will have their skin baked in the oven or turned into lampshades.
Enough is enough; the Palestinians will not want to follow in the path of the Jews and have the same thing happen to them.
