There is a difference between saying I don't want to be your
brother in law; I just want to be your brother, and saying learn to love
everything I do or I'll fight you. The latter is what Charles Krauthammer is
saying in his latest article which came under the title: “Fighting Back against
the New Anti-Semitism” and the subtitle: “Throughout the academic and cultural
world, the Israeli boycott movement is growing.” It was published on January
10, 2014 in National Review Online.
For decades, the self appointed leaders of the Jews such as
Krauthammer and others, have told America to boycott this nation or
that one, this organization or that one, this individual or that one. And why
is that? Because the Jews have claimed that by associating with these
undesirables, America
bestows legitimacy on them, therefore bestows it on the reprehensible things
they say about Israel ,
and the things they do to it.
So now that Israel itself is being boycotted by an
increasing number of American institutions, Krauthammer is talking about
fighting back because he seems to believe Israel is such a lovable place, the
only reason it is disliked by so many is that it is lovable.
The latest institution to boycott Israel ;
the one that drew the ire of the
article's author is the American Studies Association that decided to boycott
Israeli universities because Israel
denies “academic and human rights to Palestinians,” says Krauthammer. But then
guess what, my friend, he goes on to write a 760 word article without once –
yes, without once again – mentioning the Palestinians.
And that reminds you of the people who blame carbon dioxide
for the warming of the planet, but when asked to cite one scientific experiment
in which carbon dioxide was used to prove or disprove the claim, they cannot do
so. What they do, instead, is go on a never ending rant about the melting ice
cap, the dying bears, the shrinking of Antarctica, the floods in South Asia and so on and so forth ... but no carbon
dioxide experiment.
And so it goes with Charles Krauthammer who wants you to
know that Israel , like
apartheid South Africa ,
has a democratic political system. It also has a free press just like apartheid
South Africa
used to have. And it has a fiercely independent judiciary, same as that of
apartheid South Africa
if not modeled after it. He also claims
that, like Apartheid South Africa, Israel has a religious and racial
diversity within its universities.
But the thing that the author forgets to mention – besides
the Palestinians, of course – is that like apartheid South
Africa , Israel
is an apartheid entity. In that sense, it is the only entity left on the planet
to still practice this crime against humanity. Yes, South
Africa was boycotted into ending the practice but Israel must not
be subjected to the same treatment, say the Krauthammers of the world. No
explanation necessary except for the mention that “Israel is the world's only Jewish
state.”
So for now, say the self-appointed leaders of the Jews, you
can forget about apartheid Israel
and apartheid South Africa .
You can also forget about the ice cap, the bears, Antarctica
and the floods. But what you must not forget about is the human rights
situation in Syria , Iran , Egypt ,
Turkey , Saudi Arabia , China
and Russia .
And you know why you must not forget about all these places;
it's because the whole thing is about antisemitism. Yes, it's not even about
Zionism, I tell you; it's about antisemitism. Why else would you hate lovable Israel but for
the fact that antisemitism is back again.
But gentlemen of the Jewry – World Jewry, that is – none of
these nations send their academics to America seeking to gain legitimacy
for themselves or for the system they practice. How can we boycott something
that does not exist?
