Michael Oren who used to be Israel 's
ambassador to America has
made a plea to reconcile the two countries because, he admits, without America , Israel is dead meat (to use schoolyard
slang). He wrote an article to this effect which came under the title: “How
Obama Abandoned Israel” and the subtitle: “Netanyahu and the president both
made mistakes, but only one purposely damaged U.S.-Israel relations.” It was
published on June 16, 2015 in the Wall Street Journal.
Oren goes on to say that without Israel ,
America
will have lost a state that is unreservedly pro-American. He stops here when he
should have continued: having previously been unreservedly pro-British,
unreservedly pro-French, and unreservedly pro-Stalin. Not to mention the
current Israeli attempts to become unreservedly pro-Chinese and unreservedly
pro-Indian in anticipation of the possibility that the parasite and its host
may never reconcile; a reality that reflects the historical pattern describing
the Jewish experience through time and space.
Something else makes it imperative for the two to reconcile,
says Oren. It is that when searching for dependable allies in the Middle East, America will
discover that dependability is a rare commodity in that part of the world. At
the same time, however, America
will find that Israel
is located as strategically in the region as any of its neighbors. All of this
should work in favor of Israel ,
says the author, if you can ignore the fact that this is a small piece of real
estate containing a small population that is occupying a still smaller
population.
And that's not all, says Michael Oren, because the small
thing is militarily robust. What he does not say is that this is due to the
fact that Israel has
received more than a hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of military
equipment, training and spare parts from America over the past half century.
To maintain the thing strong, America must continue to appropriate more aid
thus encourage the neighbors to arm-race Israel … which is not an ideal
situation, but no matter because that's that.
More importantly, says Michael Oren, Israel “remains
democratic,” without elaborating any further. But what he neglected to say is
that the Jews over there continue to haggle over everything as people do
everywhere else in the region. And this is happening despite the fact that Israel is populated by many American Jews of the
kind that shredded the First Amendment in America . In so doing, they started
a Jewish civil war between those who spawned the behemoth known as “political
correctness” and those who holler that the beast has brought an “end to
discussion” in what used to be the oldest democracy. This is clearly a case of
haggling for me, and no democracy for thee. But no matter because that’s that.
And so (having 'compaaaared' the balance sheet as to what
each side gains from a continued business-as-usual relationship between the
parasite and the host, and what each side might lose from a deterioration of
the relationship between them) the former Israeli ambassador to America found
it opportune to blame the American President for “purposely” damaging the
U.S.-Israel relations.
And the proof of this, he says, is that on two occasions, Israel inadvertently (that's inadvertently)
announced the expansion of Jewish settlements in Jerusalem at the very moment (that's the very
moment) when Netanyahu was meeting with Vice President Joe Biden. And the
writer wonders how this innocent coincidence could be anything but a forgivable
Israeli blunder that should not have coincided but that must be forgiven.
The long list of forgivable Israeli blunders continues but
none can be 'compaaaared' to the “calculated mistakes [made] by President
Obama,” says the former ambassador. The most important of these being that he
disagreed with Israel
openly when the protocol between the parasite and the host has always been to
the effect that there should be no public display of disagreement between the
two.
So you want to know how President Obama may have disagreed
with Netanyahu in public. Did he, for example, lecture Netanyahu in May of 2012
about the Jewish settlements and the peace process in the Oval Office or
anywhere else? No, no, says Michael Oren, that was not a calculated mistake. It
was not even something that Obama did. It was a legitimate and forgivable
disagreement made by Netanyahu in complete innocence. After all, he is the Jew
and Obama is not. He never has “bad intentions” because this sin is the
acknowledged specialty of non-Jews.
Besides, the writer goes on to say, even Palestinian
negotiators had acknowledged that those settlements might be allowed to remain
part of Israel if a deal between the two parties can be concluded, signed,
sealed and delivered. But why should Israel go through all that hassle
when it can pocket the Palestinian generosity, torpedo the negotiations and end
the hassle here and now?
Why? Is America
not the friend of Israel
precisely because it has the duty to back the Jews when they display such
superior negotiating abilities? Are the Jews not given this advantage by America which
arms them to the teeth while keeping the Palestinians disarmed and helpless?
Why is this happening but to let the Jews plunder the Palestinians and kill
them when they protest and resist?
C'mon guys, straighten your thinking by turning your brains
around inside the skull, says Michael Oren. Be like us, or at least try to be,
he goes on to say.
