They talk about America like a Jewish Colony

Of the many Jewish points of view discussing the state of panic now shaking the Judeo-Israeli establishment, three opinion pieces are discussed in this presentation.

All three appeared on March 14, 2016; each in a different publication. From Israel came Shmuel Rosner's article under the title: “Can Israel Handle a President Trump?” published in the New York Times. From New York City came an editorial of the NY Daily News under the title: “Commanders in hiding.” And there is: “Trump, America's Word, and the Bomb,” an article that was written by Douglas J. Feith and published in National Review Online.

Shmuel Rosner begins by revealing what the Judeo-Israeli establishment has always wanted: “All Benjamin Netanyahu wanted in 2016 was a president who would be friendly toward his government.” This is not surprising as we have grown accustomed – during the past half century – to hearing successive Israeli prime ministers say that what they wanted from their Palestinian colony was a “partner for peace.” Never mind they were never this kind of partner; they only wanted the Palestinians to produce one. Similarly, they were never friendly to America; they only want their American colony to produce a president who will be friendly to them.

Rosner goes on to paint the picture of a strained relation between Obama and Netanyahu (the Bibi). Our author says that those two “have disagreed over just about every issue.” And it wasn't just Obama, because “the Democratic Party [the Dems] has drifted further from Israel.” You see, my friend, in the eyes of these people, Israel is the rock solid anchor against which everyone must remain tethered. If a separation occurs, it's not because Israel drifted away; it's because the other drifted away from the center of the universe.

As if this were not enough, candidates of the Dems in this year's election are Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. The first had the temerity to boycott Netanyahu's speech to Congress last year. The second is married to a former president who was so reckless as to have clashed with Netanyahu some two decades ago. She too had a thorny relation with the Bibi; a reality that continued through her tenure as secretary of state.

For these reasons, and because Netanyahu and his clique could not send American-made tanks, armored vehicles and soldiers to erect checkpoints in America's towns and cities the way they do their thing in occupied Palestine when they decide to punish the locals – Netanyahu had no choice but to “wait for Mr. Obama to vacate the White house in the hopes that he'd be replaced by a Republican.” And that, my friend, is how colonial powers behave when they realize their power is not up to the task ahead; they wait for things to happen by themselves.

But guess what happened instead. In the words of Rosner, what happened is this: “And then along came Donald J. Trump.” That's bad news for the Jews because: “Israel depends on America asserting itself abroad.” Note that “abroad” in this context means primarily outside of Israel, and secondarily outside of America. This is because Israel is the anchor, and America is the colony.

What Israel wants from America can be summed up as follows: bipartisan support, predictable foreign policy, and candidates who sing Israel's praises “as often and as loudly as they can.” But that's not what Israel is getting from Donald Trump, which is why Netanyahu is disappointed at the American political system. Maybe now he'll decide to send a squadron of American-made F-16 jets to cluster-bomb the White House.

As to the editors of the NY Daily News, they lament that “Obama's tactics appear designed to contain the jihadists far from American shores [but not Israeli shores] and avoid-boots-on-the-ground combat.” The editors are also disappointed that “the Republicans have offered an appalling mixture of cowardice and aggression.” To the editors, this must look like a colony in mutiny.

What can they do? Not much really. That's because four years ago, they called on the Jewish rank and file to rise up and teach Obama a lesson. Nothing happened, however, because the foot soldiers refused to soldier on. And so, the editors have suggested seven occasions about which “a president must decide”.

As to Douglas Feith, he is unhappy that the candidates and the media are giving the nuclear issue little attention. He complains that Obama freed Iran of economic sanctions without requiring dismantlement of the nuclear facilities, whereas Donald Trump scorns NATO and Japan while praising Putin. Worse, he promises to be “neutral” between the Jews and the Palestinians. Neutral? That's worse than mutiny; it is high treason.
