The Endless Pursuit Of Something For Nothing


Michael Herzog who used to be chief of staff in the Israeli ministry of defense and Soner Cagaptay who is an analyst at an American think tank got together and wrote an article published in the New York Times on June 20, 2012 under the title: “How America Can Help Its Friends Make Nice.” The piece is just another request of the sort that Israel's mouthpieces make of America on a regular basis after Israel craps on the lawn of what used to be the pristine neighborhood of the Middle East but is now a vicinity that is hard to smell due to the oversupply of Israeli fertilizers dumped on it with merciless regularity. What is disheartening in this story is that after each dump, Israel runs to America and cries out for the superpower to come pimp for it, thus reconcile it with its neighbors once again which is what gives the cycle the chance to start all over again.

As you will notice, Israel's mouthpieces in America have outdone themselves this time insofar as the magnitude of the absurd arguments they are using to make their points. For, it is a well known fact that despite the rhetoric about Israel being an asset to America, that thing is now and has always been the killer albatross around America's neck. To wit, each time that America got into a war situation in the Middle East, Israel tried to join the action but America told it to stay out lest it lose the trust of the real nations in that part of the world. The truth is that America always had to choose between the Arabs and Israel, and has chosen the Arabs each and every time. Far from being an asset, Israel is therefore a liability that is steadily eroding America in every field where the latter used to have a competitive advantage over old adversaries and potential new ones.

With this in mind, look how the two authors make their points this time around. They begin like this: “Turkish-Israeli dialogue on Syria could bolster Israel's interest in regime change and enlist Israel to generate American support.” In other words, they are asking the American President to reconcile the two foes because this will motivate Israel to want a regime change in Syria. When this happens, they anticipate that Israel will lobby the American Congress which is something that the American President cannot do by himself – they implicitly admit -- because the Congress is one of disgusting low life traitors not of patriots. The authors of the article do not explicitly express this last part but they expect the reader to understand what they mean. And this prompts us to ask Herzog and Cagaptay: What does that mean in the final analysis, guys? Apparently nothing more than the making of useless noise.

The two authors then go on to say this: “A normalized … relationship would also open opportunities for … the Turks taking the … lead and the Israelis providing ... assets.” But the truth is that Israel can do nothing that America cannot do a thousand times better, and in fact is doing it now by assisting Turkey where the latter asks for help. Thus, the authors go on to argue their point this way: “Any Israeli contribution would, of course, have to be invisible.” So why bother, you ask? And they respond: “This makes Turkish-Israeli cooperation against Assad even more valuable, for it would allow Israel to provide untraceable assets to support Turkey's efforts...” What? What's that again? Are they writing these words for the whole world to see how it is that America, Turkey and Israel can conspire to do the things that must remain untraceable? Hey guys, let me give you a little advice. Go find a four year-old baby, sit with her and she will tell you that your logic is full of holes because everyone interested in this matter will – as a result of your writings -- know what you are up to whether or not you succeed at doing what you hope to do. And after you get this lesson from the mouth of a baby, leave the management of the world to grownups and go play with toys in your rooms. The world has had enough of you, kids; it has had it up to here and cannot take it anymore. Enough is enough.

This tragically hilarious request, my friends, does not come out of nowhere. It comes on the heels of something that took place in Israel not long ago. In fact, two things happened there earlier this month that shed more light on the subject. The first that happened was the release of a report criticizing the government, especially its prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for the way that an assault was conducted on a Turkish relief ship taking humanitarian supplies to the Gaza strip. The second that happened was that the Israeli parliament took up the issue of what they call the Armenian genocide – supposedly one that was carried out by the Turks against the Armenian people. To understand the significance and ramification of the two occurrences happening at the same time in Israel, we need a primer in the history and mentality that led to them.

When it comes to the use and the abuse of the word Holocaust, the Jewish organizations have been sucking the driblets out of it the same way that a parasitic leech sucks the goodness from its host to leave it an empty shell for subsequent generations to look at the thing and wonder: What on Earth happened here? Then the Jewish organizations trivialized the system of governance known as democracy, thus rendering the expression “democratic republic” assonant with the pejorative banana republic. After that, they tackled the precept of “acting on principle and not expediency,” thus emptying it of its noble content. Beyond that, they took on the expression “moral imperative” and gave it the Midas touch in reverse, resulting in anything they call a moral imperative transforming into rust instead of gold. And now, they are applying their slimy talent to the task of mangling the word genocide because it is here to be mangled and for no other reason. Will these people ever stop being a pain in the side of humanity? Apparently not from what we see the two authors try to accomplish.

Actually, the Jewish organizations began to work on the word genocide the moment that they started to milk the Holocaust. Loath to equate the suffering of the Jews with that of any other people, they called everyone's holocaust not a Holocaust but a genocide in order to set the Jewish experience apart from all the others. The intent all along had been to make the Jewish experience a unique event that is separate from and never equal to the others. In the meantime, they had a number of countries outlaw or try to outlaw the denial of the Jewish Holocaust. They did not get too far with this project but they remained undeterred and went on to work on making some countries recognize the Armenian tragedy as being genocide. They worked to make the European parliaments outlaw its denial, justifying their effort as being a moral imperative necessitated by the seriousness of the subject matter. These were high minded words but for reasons that will soon become clear, nobody in their right mind believed that the Jewish leaders were motivated by noble sentiments.

It is that something was glaring to the people who devoted time and the mental energy to analyze the subject. In the final analysis they asked the obvious question: Why is it that the Jewish organizations are urging the American Congress and the European parliaments to take up the subject of the Armenian tragedy when they never urged Israel to do the same? This situation alone gave away the reality that the Jewish organizations will use anything and everything as a weapon to engage in the parasitic exercise of getting something for nothing. Their problem has always been that they cannot make a product that has a high enough value they can barter against the goods and services they need to live on. Thus, they developed other means by which to acquire the necessities of life without having to pay for them.

For one thing, they raided their productive neighbors and robbed them blind, or they promised not to raid them if the latter would pay a ransom on a regular basis. This method of making a living (blackmail as it is called) became so ingrained in their mores, it morphed into the culture and the religion by which they are identified. In fact, this is what their bible -- known as the Old Testament -- is all about as you will find when you read this book of horror from cover to cover. To you and me it cannot be a book of religion but one of endless terror. Yet to them, it is a book of prayer and religious meditation.

And where they cannot in modern times raid their neighbors, they have developed a satanic method which happens to work some of the time but not always. What they do is demonize someone they call the enemy of the day at the same time as they designate another someone to be the sucker of the day. This done, they incite the sucker to go fight the enemy in the name of a noble cause, the narrative of which they tailor-make on the spot to suit the moment and suit the times to which it is related.

Of course, it would be in their nature to deny that they are urging someone -- be it the American Congress or the European parliaments -- to consider the subject of genocide, including what they call the Armenian genocide, as a ploy to punish Turkey, a country they have ceased to like until further notice which is probably now that they need Turkey again. And when the time will come – if America gets them to make nice -- they will deny they were then or they are now blackmailing a country they intend to blackmail and ask for a ransom at some point in the future. But this can still happen, believe it or not, whether or not America will succeed at getting the two foes to kiss and make up.

But after the denial is made and has been noted by everyone, the Jewish organizations will take advantage of the opportunities opened to them and will – one way or the other – collect on the windfall that will result from the confusion they have created. In consequence of this, it is logical to expect that these people will continue to incite America and the Europeans to keep Turkey in the cross-hairs of the Armenian genocide at the same time as they seek to convince the world they are doing what they are doing driven by a moral imperative and nothing else. But as always, nobody in their right mind will believe them because the world has had it up to here with them, having been saturated with their lies as much as the Middle East has been saturated with their naturally produced fertilizers.

Nevertheless, in planning for and in setting up that tangled operation, they did what they always do which is to overplay their hand. In this regard, they pushed the American Congress and the European legislatures past the limit of endurance, a situation that resulted in the scheme they were working on to begin the process of unraveling. It is that they failed in the end to get those legislatures to do anything that would punish or blackmail the Turkish nation. And so the Jewish organizations found themselves with no alternative but to get the Israeli legislature to take up the subject of the Armenian genocide and process it in Israel as a way to insult the Turkish people and poke their leaders in the eye. As if this were not enough they, in the meantime, were preparing the arguments they would take to the American President asking him to help mend the old friendship. Can you think of something more Jewish or more ludicrous than this?

Now we ask ourselves: What is the significance of the Israeli parliament taking up the subject of the Armenian genocide at the same time that a report criticizing the government for a botched military operation was released? And what would be the ramification of such a doubleheader? Well, to develop a proper perspective, we first need to know that Turkey had asked Israel for an apology to go to the nation, and compensation to go to the families of the Turkish citizens who were killed by Israeli troops on the ship that was taking supplies to Gaza.

So far the government of Israel has refused to apologize, a stance that resulted in the relationship between the two countries coming to the frozen state where it is today. This development cut off all manners of communication between the two capitals, a happening that did not affect Turkey one iota but had the effect of kicking Israel in the teeth. To understand this part, we must realize that Israel had only Turkey as a true friend in the region. It lost it not because of a dispute that can be settled through negotiations but because Israel murdered the children of its old friend in cold blood because they were taking humanitarian supplies to someone in distress; someone pushed into a deplorable state of existence by none other than Israel. Thus, even if America succeeds in getting the two sides to talk to each other, how could a Turkish negotiator look an Israeli in the eye and be motivated to say something nice?

And so, it was reasoned – like say the authors of the article -- that if Israel apologized, negotiations could start again and things could get to normal once more. What they do not say but everyone knows it is that Israel will once again have the opportunity to use the weapon of the Armenian genocide to extract new concessions from Turkey. This is what the two authors are aiming for even though they don't say so; it is another occurrence attesting to the reality that the Jewish organizations will do whatever it takes to engage in the parasitic exercise of getting something for nothing. These people have not changed in thousands of years and they will not change now. Let it be known that change for the better is something that remains beyond the evolutionary capabilities of these people. They are frozen in time and so they will remain till the end of time.

And so, if you define evil incarnate as being opportunistic and/or hurtful while pretending to be altruistic and/or helpful, you must accept the notion that these people have proven themselves to be evil incarnate beyond any doubt. In fact, it looks like no one is left on this planet who does not believe they are anything but that. However, because there must be an exception to validate the rule, you will find an American Congress where the members sell their honor and the honor of their country to get elected or re-elected regardless as to who does the buying and who does the paying. Being who they are, they remain incapable of distinguishing evil incarnate from a hole in their anatomy, and so they continue to believe that the Jewish leaders are gods that must be worshiped by them and by all Americans.

These would be the leaders who modified the American saying that used to read: “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” into a locution that now means: suck the life out of the American people, rob them of their liberty and pursue all the things that can be hauled in return for nothing.
