Imagine this story happening to you or to someone you know.
The daughter reaches the age of 18; she is given a car and allowed to go out on
her own. She goes to a bar where she meets old friends, and where she befriends
a man she never met before. He keeps offering her drinks and she does not say
no. It is late now; her friends leave but she stays for a while longer.
In the morning her parents go to her room and find that she
did not come home last night. They telephone her friends who tell them what
they saw the night before. They contact the police who begin a search and find
her body three days later. The coroner determines she had been raped and
bludgeoned to death. It is that she made a small mistake and paid for it with
her life.
Now imagine the criminal that did this thing being a serial
murder-rapist committing the same act over and over again. Would you blame the
girls who fall prey to him? Or would you blame him for taking advantage of
small innocent mistakes that any girl would commit, to take advantage of them
and do his awful deeds? Obviously, you will blame him and not the girls.
Well, if you think of this story as a metaphor for something
similar that keeps happening on the international stage where the lives of
thousands of people – mostly children – are lost every once in a while because
a “moral” rapist that is protected by America is out there on the loose, you'll
have to think of Israel.
Once again the Israelis bombed an Arab school full of children
and their teachers after diligently preparing the groundwork to give two
messages at the same time. First: yes we did it because we no longer believe in
an eye for an eye, but now subscribe to the idea of a hundred eyes for one eye.
Second: you cannot prove it in a way that we cannot mobilize America 's power
and prestige to have the proof recanted. There will always be a John Bolton out
there we can draft to add insult to injury.
But what was the groundwork that they prepared so
diligently? Well, it happened that two buildings were leased in Gaza by the UN to use as
schools but were abandoned for a period of time. When the war erupted, Hamas
stored a handful of rockets in them in what was to be a temporary measure.
Someone discovered what happened, and the Israelis got wind of it. And like the
serial rapist who would wait for a young woman to make a small mistake, they
unleashed their army of echo-repeaters to keep repeating that Hamas was using
their own people as human shield.
And they came out in America – congressional dog after
congressional dog repeating that same refrain. And they came out – journalistic
monkey after journalistic monkey repeating that same refrain. And they came out
– mindless pundit after mindless pundit repeating that same refrain. And when
the ether was saturated with that sickening refrain, Israel
told the UN to evacuate a school in Gaza .
And just as the evacuation was to start, the Israelis bombed the school so as
to inflict maximum damage, and score the maximum number of deaths and injuries.
So very cowardly! So very Jewish!
You can already see how the editors of the American media
are preparing the groundwork to lawyer up a case to exonerate the moral serial
rapist that is Israel .
One such preparation can be found in the New York Times under the title: “Gaza 's Mounting Death
Toll,” published on July 25, 2014. Obviously, these editors see the American
public as being the jury, and they want to convince it that Israel did
nothing that someone else would not have done. To succeed, they paint Israel as an
ordinary John Doe, and Hamas as evil incarnate.
