Four decades ago, in the early years of the nineteen
seventies to the mid years of that decade, you could see that America was
approaching the height of its vulnerabilities at becoming a cash cow in the
service of the parasite that is Israel. The Jewish lobby in America was
starting its marathon run on steroid, milking the cash cow to feed Israel with
cash, weapons, diplomatic cover and something never seen before in the annals
of international relations – ego booster and image polisher to a new ethnic
group that was said to be represented by the rising Judeo-Israeli specimen.
After six years of attrition during which time the Egyptians
had managed to exhaust everything that the world Jewry was able to throw into
the Sinai, the Egyptian army was ready to cross the Canal to finish off and mop
up the Israeli army of occupation. The Jewish and non-Jewish mercenaries and
terrorists who were assembling from around the world to pour into the Sinai
armed to the teeth with advanced American weapons, were drying up at a time
when the air defenses of Egypt had been readied to meet and defeat any
challenge that the American equipped Israeli air force could mount against
them.
Finally, the day of reckoning came, and the Egyptian army
crossed the Canal in October of 1973, and America thought it had no choice but
to engage its own military to save Israel despite assurances from the Egyptians
that they were not interested in going past the borders of 1967, but would only
end the situation that was created by Israel's Pearl Harbor style sneak attack
of six years ago. And it was that American decision, in my view, that was the
pivotal event which changed the course of history.
Up to now, historians have concentrated on the oil embargo
that was mounted by the Arabs in response to the American decision. They see it
as an act that lasted a few weeks but withered away leaving no trace behind.
What these historians are neglecting is the outgrowth which resulted from the
Arab act, and the ramifications that followed when the members of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) saw a door opening for
them, and took advantage of the situation. They benefited greatly when they
quadrupled the price of oil in a matter of months – but something else
happened. It was the start of Asia's economic rise at the expense of America
whose auto industry was decimated while Asia's industries flourished. I wrote
about that in the past and shall give no more details here.
What I seek to do now is contrast the posture of the Jewish
lobby then, and its posture now. To this end, I recommend three articles that
have appeared on the same day, October 29, 2013 in two publications. The first
is the Bret Stephens column in the Wall Street Journal which came under the
title: “The Unbearable Lightness of Obama” and the subtitle: “The president
didn't know the NSA was spying on world leaders, but he's found time for at
least 146 rounds of golf.” The second is the Victor Davis Hanson column in
National Review Online (NRO) which came under the title: “Is Obama Still
President?” and the subtitle: “His cadences soar on, through scandal after
fiasco after disaster.” The third is the Dennis Prager column in NRO which came
under the title: “The President Who Has Done the Most damage” and the subtitle:
“The only question is whether it can ever be undone.”
You cannot get a better representation of the Jewish lobby
in the domain of punditry than these three characters. And as you can see, they
have echoed each other as if they came out of the same echo chamber at the same
time. They are trashing their president because of his decision to end
America's role as the cash cow which exists to feed Israel with cash, weapons
and diplomatic cover, as well as be the ego booster and image polisher of the
new Judeo-Israeli specimen. In short, the American cash cow has come home to
nest, and the parasites out there are not happy about it.
Look what Dennis Prager has written: “Barack Obama has
alienated our most important and longstanding Arab allies, Egypt and Saudi
Arabia.” Can you imagine what it's like for someone who lived through the 1970s
to read these words? Let me tell you. What the Jews were telling the Americans, and what
the Americans believed then was that they had the right to come behind an Arab
who is walking in the street minding his own business, and kick him in the ass.
The Arab turns around and sees that the aggressor is an American. If the Arab
does not smile and say: “Oh, you're American, here is my ass, kick it again,”
that Arab has insulted America and must be swatted like a bug.
That image was painted with every word uttered by the Jews and by their
cohorts who spoke about the Arab oil embargo and the rise in the price of oil
as being not an Arab legitimate response to America's participation in the war
against them, but as the Arab blackmail of America, and the Arab gun that was
held to America's head.
And out of this posture came the notion that Israel was the only thing
capable of restoring America's honor. Guess how it could do so. It could do it
if America consented to playing the role of cash cow feeding Israel with cash,
weapons and diplomatic cover, as well as being the ego booster and image
polisher of the new Judeo-Israeli specimen.
What a change in posture from those days! It is a change that reflects
how much history was changed by the events that unfolded during those fateful
days.
