A dogma is a
religious belief that no human being is allowed to violate. To dogmatize (not
in the dictionary) is to give the force of a religious belief to a secular
idea. That idea is then imposed on the public with zeal and with penalties that
may rival those of the medieval Inquisition.
As far as I can
tell, there are two places on this planet where they dogmatize ideas, rules,
regulations and laws. These are North Korea
and the United States of
America . In North Korea , the dear leader is
considered the god for whom everything desirable is done, and for whose sake
every annoying conception is reversed. In America ,
Israel
is considered the earthbound heaven for whom everything desirable is done, and
for whose sake every annoying conception is reversed.
For example, when
the world decided that Zionism was the same as racism, America was
mobilized and told to keep trying till that decision was reversed. When an
inquiry found that Israel
had committed crimes against humanity, America got the presiding judge to
say something that was spun, thus gave the impression he had recanted. And so
it goes in America
where laws and bylaws are made or trashed to harmonize with Jewish preferences
at the municipal, state and national levels.
While that story
unfolds on one track, another story unfolds on a parallel track. In this case,
the best example to look at is the aid that flows from America to Israel . To understand the nature of
what's happening here, it will help to recall an American saying: It is the
analogy of the third rail. That is, a system of mass transit that's powered by
electricity has three rails, one of which transmits the electric current. Those
who touch this rail die.
The tradition has
been that politicians who touched Social Security died as if they had touched
the third rail. This tradition has now been replaced by aid to Israel . Those
who touch any of it die a sudden death. Thus, like religious dogma, all sorts
of financial, military and diplomatic aid flows from America
to Israel
unimpeded, no matter how much it hurts the American people.
The latest
occurrence, for which a herculean effort was mounted to compel America to reverse itself, has been the Iran
nuclear deal. The last three postings on this website deal with the subject,
and this presentation is the fourth. It is in response to the article that came
under the title: “The Boeing Sale to Iran Runs Into Turbulence” and the
subtitle: “The House is trying to stop the sale of jets to a state sponsor of terrorism
– the one with a nuclear deal the White House is protecting.” It was written by
Emanuelle Ottolenghi and Mark Dubowitz, and published on July 14, 2016 in the
Wall Street Journal.
The immediate goal
of the writers is to prevent America from selling passenger planes to Iran even
though Iran has other sources from which it can buy comparable planes, whereas
America will not have a client to replace Iran. Thus, America , its treasury and its workers stand to
lose substantial amounts if the brain-dead zombies in the Senate follow their
House counterparts and block the sale to satisfy the ego of Ottolenghi and
Dubowitz as well as the other pundits and their Jewish bosses in New York and Tel Aviv.
To do that, the authors are adding their voice to those that came before them
in an effort to dogmatize hating Iran ,
thus keep America
from ever having cordial relations with that country.
Will the Jewish
group succeed? Maybe not. Look what our two authors are saying: “The amendments
would prevent the Treasury from granting licenses to export aircraft to Iran . They are
unlikely to become law. Obama will threaten to veto any legislation that would
dent his nuclear agreement with Iran .”
Why then do these people keep trying?
They try because
stopping the aircraft deal is only their immediate goal. Their ongoing
preoccupation remains the need to maintain a system by which everything that's
desirable is done for Israel ,
and every annoying conception – if and when it happens – is reversed. The
writers view this system as the only way that Israel will remain afloat. This is
the bitter reality given that Israel
produces nothing but lives on handouts from America and elsewhere as well as
from the robbery of Palestinian property, food and water using donated American
weapons.
