Clifford D. May, who says he is president of the band of
second-rate clowns calling itself Foundation for Defense of Democracies, has
pronounced himself on the phenomenon of refugees streaming out of the Levant,
and heading towards Europe . He says the
tragedy is the result of an untreated pathology ... without identifying the
true nature of that pathology.
He discusses his views in the article he wrote under the
title: “The exodus to Europe 's promised lands”
and the subtitle: “The population transfer is a symptom of an untreated
pathology.” It was published on September 15, 2015 in The Washington Times.
The reason why Clifford May wrote the article that he did,
and why he reached the conclusions that he did, is that he reversed the natural
order of things; the very chronology of history and the principle of cause and
effect. That is, he began by chiding the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
(OIC) and the Arab League for not taking in the refugees.
Only after that, did May discuss the root cause of the
phenomenon. Had he followed the logical order of things, starting with the
cause rather than the effect, he would have faced the reality that this is a
European problem first and foremost. It is not that he didn't know what
happened, he did, and he said so himself. His own words are that: “the European
colonial experiment” had collapsed due to the war that was raging in Europe and elsewhere under the name World War II.
Moreover, the demography of Europe and that of the Arab and
Muslim countries are such that migration has for decades been going from the
high birth rate nations of the developing Arab and Muslim countries to the low
birth rate countries of Europe . Still, despite
these realities, countries like Jordan ,
Lebanon and Egypt – already
suffering from a high level of unemployment – took in as many refugees as they
could possibly handle. And when these refugees felt that they were out of
danger, they sought to “upgrade” their situation by going to the places where
more opportunities will be open to them.
As can be seen, everyone that's involved in this phenomenon
has acted as normally and as rationally as can be expected. Well, that's
everyone except for one group of people. You may call them members of the Jewish
propaganda machine which comprises among others, Clifford May's band of clowns,
and Dennis Prager who wrote an article on the same subject under the title
“Europe Is Making a Fatal Mistake,” published also on September 15, 2015 in
National Review Online.
Unlike Clifford May who reversed the order of things to open
the door for blaming the refugee situation on the Arabs and the Muslims, Dennis
Prager does not even bother to mention the historical events that have led to
that situation. What he does instead, is to say that there might be the
appearance of a parallel between the situation today and the one when the Jews
were refugees, but the substance of the problem is different.
And based on that argument, Prager goes on to explain why
Europe and America
had the obligation to take in the Jewish refugees then, but would be making a
fatal mistake if they took in the Arab and Muslim refugees today. His solution
to the problem is this: “The West should supply the good guys in the Muslim
Middle East with vast amounts of military hardware.” That is, the upside-down
brain of Dennis Prager is telling us that while large amounts of military
hardware have created a bad situation, vast (not just large) amounts of it will
be necessary to cure that situation. That's a horrifically superior mind, isn't
it?
As to Clifford May, he wonders if the leaders of Europe and America
understand the pathologies behind the migrant phenomenon, and if they are up to
the challenge which they face because of it. And so he asks: “Do they have the
diplomatic skill to persuade Arab and Muslim leaders to become productively
engaged?”
