What's happening to the world? Has everyone gone mad? Or is
it that the madness we see erupt everywhere is due to one and the same source?
Two articles, both published on November 19, 2014 help us
answer these questions. One was written by Yossi Klein Halevi under the title:
“The War on the Israeli Home Front” and the subtitle: “Tuesday's massacre and
other recent Palestinian attacks in Jerusalem
have been intimate, the terrorism of neighbors.” It was published in the Wall
Street Journal. The other article is a column written by Tom Friedman under the
title: “Did Dubai Do it?” and was published in the New York Times.
The Halevi article ends like this: “That terrible image has
reinforced the prevailing sense that the war against Israel is only the latest phase of
an old war against the Jews.” In fact, Halevi goes through an entire article
without once hinting that Israel
or the Jews need to do something – anything at all – to contribute to the
solution. No, he doesn't do that because in his view (which is that of all
Jews, according to him,) the entire bloody human race has been after the Jews,
not because of what they do, but because they are the good things that no human
has ever appreciated since the beginning of time.
But what have the Jews been doing throughout time that
brought the wrath of humanity on them, resulting in the repetition of the image
that Halevi is describing? Tom Friedman tells what it is but does not tell why
it is. His objective being that the experiment must go on till success is
achieved, he describes what is being done now that is not succeeding. In
reality, he is talking about something that is known to the human race as the
Jewish dream to social engineer the planet, and thus make it safe for Jews to
live in it.
Here, in a condensed form is what he thinks:
“We tried decapitation; it failed. We tried abdication; it
failed. We tried democratization; it failed. We tried occupation, abdications
and now re-intervention … only a fool would be optimistic. Maybe the beginning
of wisdom is admitting we don't know what we're doing out here and, we don't
have the will to invest to reshape any of these places – and even if we did, it
is not clear it would work.”
So you believe that the guy who stood in Israel in front of
an American camera to advise the W. President of America at the rime – that his
father lost re-election because he did not march all the way to Baghdad, and
warning that if the son did not go looking for the WMDs that do not exist in Iraq,
he will suffer the same fate as his father – would now shut up and go hide
somewhere. No, he doesn't do that. Instead, being the Jew that he is, he does
this: “So if the Middle East is a region we
can't fix, I'm for containment and amplification.”
To explain how this will work, he begins by classifying the
nations of the region into different categories, and prescribes a remedy for
each category. These are remedies that range from collaborating with regional
forces to “giv[ing] them as much money as they ask for.” And to make it sound
like he knows what he's talking about this time, he tells of discussions he had
with a couple of people who enlightened him as to what motivates the more than
300 million Arabs whose lives he now believes he can engineer using American
power, American prestige and “all the money they ask for.” He undoubtedly
believes that this will make the world safe for Jews to live in it.
And while Tom Friedman proposes these remedies, Yossi Halevi
asserts that: “In an era of moral madness, in which much of the world judges
Israel more harshly than it judges Hamas, this must be said: Nothing Israel
does or doesn't do is responsible for provoking young Palestinians.” He is
talking about young Palestinians who were born under Jewish occupation … and so
did their parents … and so did their grandparents.
This man, Halevi, wants the world to believe that someone is
responsible for the way that these youngsters are growing up. It is not Israel,
or the occupation, or the wealthy Jews of the world who finance the ongoing
crime against humanity, or America that is duped into serving like a banker and
a mercenary army for those wealthy Jews, or the American congress of
prostitutes who sell their souls and their honor to anyone for as little as a pat
on the back or a public handshake.
