What more effective way is there to get someone to die for
you than to tell them the world is at peril and they can save it. This is how
master terrorists recruit young and immature minds to become suicide bombers;
it is how they recruit older and mentally deficient volunteers; it is how the
Jews have been recruiting the fanatics who started wars for them throughout
history, and it is how Josef Joffe is trying to incite America to continue the
tradition of setting the world on fire in the hope of triggering the Armageddon
of Jewish desires.
To contribute to the effort of doing just that, Joffe wrote:
“The Unreality of Obama's Realpolitik,” an article that also came under the
subtitle: “With the president unwilling to project U.S.
might, Iran
and other bad actors rush to exploit the power vacuum.” It was published on
February 3, 2015 in the Wall Street Journal.
Well, having exhausted the old means by which he could have
nudged America
to die for the Jews, Joffe came up with a new approach. Being the intellectual
lightweight that he is, however, he shot himself in the foot before he even
started the presentation. Here is what he did: He first described what great
powers do to maintain order in the world. He then asserted that the description
applies to the situation between America
and Iran .
But having forgotten that this situation has been around for a long time, he
described Obama's imagined response to it during the six and a half years that
he has been in office, by something that happened less than a year ago.
Here is how Joffe put it: “The retort from Mr. Obama might
go like this: Iran
is No.1 in the region, and we need its help against Islamic State … So let's be
good realpolitikers, especially since it's time for a little nation-building at
home.” Well, Josef Joffe my not-so-dear friend, Obama's view about nation
building is something he brought to the office since the moment he set foot in
it. But the rise of the Islamic State did not happen till very recently. Thus,
Obama could not have accommodated Iran to combat the Islamic State
way back then when there was no Islamic State. You just shot yourself in the
foot, Josef; find someone to care for it before it gets infected.
With this fumble hanging around his neck like an albatross,
Joffe starts to make his presentation. It consists of drawing a distinction
between what he calls a “revisionist” power that only wants more, and a
“revolutionary” power that wants it all. You can accommodate the first, he
says, but not the second. He gives the example of Napoleon, the early Soviet Union and Hitler “all of [whom] had to be defeated
or contained for decades on end.”
This said, he went on to do the very Jewish thing of
exaggerating the way he described what he was seeing. To make an ironclad case
against Iran ,
he said it was both a revisionist power and a revolutionary one too. He
couldn't miss with that, could he? It is not like killing two birds with one
stone; it is like killing the same bird twice using two stones. So very Jewish,
so very Josef Joffe.
Being on the train to doing Jewish things, he now attributes
to Muslim Iran what is known to apply to Jews, and to Jewish Israel. He says
this: “How do you compromise with Allah?” This is the first time that someone
said this thing. It is the bastardized version of the original saying: The
Nazis thought of themselves as the master race because of what they
accomplished. The Jews think of themselves as the master race because God chose
them to be his favorite children. When someone did as well as the Nazis, their
contention was compromised and they got off the master race train. But how do
you compromise with the God that chose the Jews to be his favorite master race?
You can't … and this is why the Jews try to live like a master race, but always
die like the race that never made it.
Still on the train of exaggeration, Joffe first blames the
rise of Iran
on George W. Bush who removed Saddam from the scene, and then says that “Mr.
Obama is going one worse.” How is that? Well, says Joffe, it is that Obama
counted on diplomacy but reaped stalemate. The neighbors are not amused, and
the Russians are eager to exploit the situation both in the Middle East and in Eastern Europe . Hey Josef, ignore the neighbors and the
Russians, and please explain how Obama's stalemate (if indeed it is the case)
is worse than Bush's removal of Saddam.
No, the author does not care to explain. Instead, he says
something about supping with the devil, an analogy he admits is dusty but leads
to the lesson that you must keep your powder dry … which is what the U.S. failed to do in the spring of 1945,
resulting in the subjugation of Eastern Europe and the subversion of Greece . Turkey , France
and Italy
… Holy misery; what's that about, Josef? And he responds: “The point is that
Mr. Obama is confusing revolutionary Iran with a reasonably revisionist
power.”
He goes on: “Hasan Rouhani may be reasonable; Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei is not” which is why “Tehran keeps pushing forward all over the Middle
East – damn Western sanctions, no matter how hard they bite.”
Well then, what to do, Josef? He does not give a straight
answer. Instead, he responds with a riddle: “Power is as power does. Iran knows this
… Obama does not.”
