Being Offended no Longer a Sufficient Cause

There was a time when a Jew anywhere in the world crying out or whispering “I am offended,” would cause the entire Jewish apparatus to rise up and demand that the relevant governments, the irrelevant ones and those in-between – be they near the offending source or far away from it – get involved in the matter and contribute to the effort of quashing the mouth that has muttered the offending words.

And so, you would see presidents and prime ministers, legislators and journalists come out of the woodwork, and one by one, condemn the practitioner of free speech for not knowing the difference between legitimate free speech protected by the first amendment of the American Constitution, and the expression of antisemitism that may or may not be protected but is, for this occasion, considered to be.

Those days are gone at least for now, my friend, and you know why? Because every Jew and his sidekick that felt like offending others – most especially the Muslims – came out of the woodwork and started racing past each other in a mad competition to see who will mutter the most offensive expression to hurt those they target, and do so not because there ever was a reason for doing it but because it was the thing to do – just like the social punks of today who sucker-punch someone for no reason except that it is the thing to do.

And so, the offended people started to use the principles that were put down in the law and in the tradition by the Jews themselves to go after the offending Jews, their sidekicks and the cultural punks who made offending others a part of the new subculture. And this is when the Jews rose up and hollered: “but what about free speech?” And they went on to explain that the first amendment of the American Constitution allows them to say anything they want to say in America and everywhere else in the world as long as the speech does not criticize Israel or the Jews for any reason whatsoever.

And a dismayed world looked at the Jew and said: “Shove it, you little punk! From now on you will be treated like everyone else; and everyone else will be treated like you.” And bit by bit, the unreasonable parts of the old culture of political correctness began to come down while new ones began to go up. But if you ask how far this process will go, the answer is that no one knows ... but this is how cultures develop and progress for good and for ill. The important thing that can be said for now, however, is that Jewish matters no longer matter as much as before, and they take no precedent over every other matter.

And this has had a profound effect on how the world, especially the “Western” part of it, began to deal with Israeli and Jewish demands. It has changed as you will be able to see from two articles that have appeared recently. The first is titled: “Obama is Eagerly Mainstreaming the Iranian Regime,” was written by Benjamin Weinthal and published on January 21, 2014 in National Review Online. The second appears in the Wall Street Journal under the title: “The Iran Gold Rush” and the subtitle: “Western businesses line up for post-sanctions business with Tehran.” It was written by the editors themselves and published on January 22, 2014.

You will see a Weinthal who lives in Europe, and apparently remains oblivious of the changes taking place in America, operate according to the old mentality. He calls on the superpower to continue maintaining a war footing posture towards Iran because of some silly thing he says has appeared on an Iranian website that must have offended him no end. That is, his brain tells him that the future of the Planet with the seven billion people that it harbors do not matter as much as a Jew being offended by what he believes was posted on that website … whether or not it was actually posted like he was told it was.

And then, you will see from the editorial of the Wall Street Journal how much that mentality has changed in general terms in America, and changed among the European political class and business people. In short, you will see that with the waning of the nefarious Jewish influence on America, the World is getting back to normal again which is cause for celebration.

May the World continue to improve till it can no longer restart the old cycle again.
