Benjamin Weinthal says he is a fellow at the Foundation for
Defense of Democracies. In case you didn't know, this is a kind of burlesque
joint that nobody thinks is funny enough to be taken seriously, but nobody knew
why. So now, Weinthal has decided to unveil the mystery by demonstrating why
this is the case.
He wrote: “Label Europe anti-Israel,” an article that also
came under the subtitle: “The EU is poised to make a huge mistake and hand the
BDS movement a major victory.” It was published on November 10, 2015 in the New
York Daily News. The author is discussing the decision of the European Union to
label products made in Jewish settlements which are recognized in international
law and the laws of civilized nations to be outposts of occupation and crimes
against humanity.
Instead of applauding the decision of the EU – being one who
fancies himself as a defender of democracies – he complains about the EU's
decision, and bases his argument on several points, one made by Michael Oren to
the effect that: “There are dozens of border disputes and 'occupations' in the
world, but the EU decided to single out Israel.” Now, this guy Oren used to be Israel 's ambassador to the US , and his job was to echo the old refrain: You
can't compaaaare, you can't equaaaate anything that Israel or the Jews do because they
are above everything and everyone … therefore must never be measured against
anything.
So here he is now comparing Israel
with three other nations, using the following words: “They are not labeling
products from China , India or Turkey
– only Israel .”
This is not very funny, as you can see, which is why the burlesque joint to
which Weinthal belongs is not taken seriously by anyone. But this is not all
that's wrong with someone taking a word as awesome as 'democracy' and applying
it to a snake pit they call Israel, a place that is too hellish to accommodate
even the most stoic of demons. And yet, there are people – Christians and
Muslims – who are forced to live in this caldron of perpetual pain and
suffering.
The question to ask now is this: “What's the difference
separating China , India and Turkey
from Israel ?
And the answer is simple. It is that neither of the trio is occupying people it
considers unfit to be given full citizenship of the country, yet considers them
people possessing land that's so valuable, they cannot be set free. This is
what the Jews are doing in Palestine ,
which is why they cannot accept the one state solution which would recognize
the Christians and the Muslims as equal to the Jews; or the two state solution
that will set them free from the yoke of Jewish occupation.
Not only that, but the trend over the past 70 years has been
that the Jews who are not indigenous to Palestine, are stealing the land one
piece at a time, first calling it disputed land then calling it “land everyone
knows will someday belong to Israel, so why bother having a peace process and
negotiating it away?” And this is how more than 80 percent of Palestine has now been gobbled up by the Jews
with no end and no relief in sight.
Another question to ask is this: Where could the Jews be
going with this? And the answer is hinted at by a bone chilling passage in the
article. It is that Weinthal has revealed that Professor Eugene Kontorovitch
told him the EU is labeling products made in occupied Palestine
but not those made in Western Sahara despite the fact that the EU does not
recognize Morocco 's
annexation of Western Sahara . Here again, the
author is making a false equivalence to hide something – this time a very
ominous something.
The truth is that Morocco
has always considered Western Sahara to be Moroccan territory as did Algeria . Both
nations fought to acquire that territory, and Morocco prevailed. It annexed the
land and gave its inhabitants full citizenship at par with every Moroccan.
For the Jews to come now and say that occupying Palestine
and considering its population not worthy of being Israeli citizens, yet
controlling the territory in the same way that Morocco controls Western Sahara,
says that the Jews intend to keep the Palestinian people under their control,
and treat them as a species of subhumans a la perhaps “Planet of the Apes”
whereby the Palestinians will be hired to make products in West Bank factories,
but not be granted citizenship at par with Jews who may be born there, or may
come from far away places.
