Much has been written about the
election results to the European Parliament, and most of that had to do with Europe 's apparent drift towards the extreme right of the
political spectrum. The latest example is the article written by Matthew
D'Ancona, who is based in England
but whose piece “Europe 's Dangerous New Fault
Line” has appeared in the New York Times on May 31, 2014.
There is a fault line alright, and
not just in Europe but in all of what has come
to be called the “West.” This is basically Europe, North America and Australia –
more specifically the fault line exists in the English language media outlets
published in those places. What you find in those outlets is advice that is the
exact opposite of what should be done and what should not be done.
To understand this, let us agree
that there is a difference between countries such as America
which is made of immigrants, and the countries of Europe
where people have a more pronounced sense of ethnic identity. That is, the
Americans will, in general, accept the “other” more readily than the Europeans.
Despite that, every wave of new immigrants coming from any part of the world
was discriminated against by the existing population in America , even
by those of the same ethnicity but had been in the country for two generations
or longer.
With time, however, the locals got
used to the Irish, the Poles, the Italians, the Asians, the Latinos, the
Russians, the Muslims and what have you … all except the Jews. Even at the
height of the cold war when the news and entertainment industries were having a
field day depicting the Russians as dangerous villains out to obliterate
America using all sorts of horrific weapons, the animosity shown by the general
public toward the Russians was almost non existent.
The same was true with the Asians
whose mafia-like gangs were wreaking havoc in America , but whose antics never
threatened the general population enough to shake it. And then came the events
of 9/11, and you would think that the Muslims were treated so badly they wanted
to leave America and go live somewhere else. But no, according to several
studies – many conducted by Jewish organizations – the level of hatred toward
the Jews in America
has remained six or seven times higher than toward the Muslims.
Why is that? You get a hint as to
the answer from the way that Matthew D'Ancona ends his article. He says this:
“What separates statesmanship from the routine practice of politics is the
courage to take the risks of plain speaking and decisive action when they have
to be taken. Europe needs such statesmanship
now.” He is asking the politicians to turn into statesmen by speaking plainly
and by taking decisive action. Has such request been made before? Yes, it has
been made all the time, in fact. Who made it? The Jews did. What did they want?
They wanted that the various governments explain to their people all matters
which are sensitive to the Jews such as the special treatment given to them and
to Israel .
And when the politicians agree to
this, the Jewish leaders scan the nation to pick the incidents, the places and
the moments when they will want the politicians to “speak plainly and act
decisively.” One such place and time would be the denial of the Holocaust … but
worse than that, it would be the mere questioning of “the scale of the
Holocaust,” as mentioned in the D'Ancona article. And if you think that the
Holocaust is such a sensitive issue with the Jews such that anything related to
it causes them to overreact, you would be wrong. The reality is that they
overreact to everything no matter how small it is. They do so to quash the
thing right away because, in their mind, anything that is done is done
deliberately, and meant to lead to the extermination of the Jews. It always
boils down to an existential matter to them.
Thus, having had the field all to
themselves at a time when there was no “political correctness,” and they were
free to call the Arabs “mad dogs,” “wounded animals” and “cockroaches deserving
extermination by insecticide,” they did not tolerate an article I wrote in
which I explained that Egypt was not as bad as portrayed; something I did
without mentioning the Jews or Israel. And the punishment for that has been a
lifelong blacklisting of everything I wrote, and the denial of any job I could
have gotten that would have facilitated telling my story to the world. And this
situation has lasted for close to half a century now with no end in sight.
People in Europe, America , the
West and everywhere else in the world do not need to hear stories like mine to
develop a deep visceral fear and loathing for the Jews. The human instinct
allows them to sense what Judaism is all about, and the fear that is generated
as to what the Jew is capable of doing to them, repels them away from these
people whether they are Caucasian, Middle Eastern looking or Black skinned
Jews.
