Make us your Loophole, they say

Here is a smart aleck way to turn yourself into a loophole, invite the use of you by those who wish to get to the other side, and charge them for the privilege. Unbelievable you say? Maybe so. But not if you're a Jew.

The first thing you do – if you are a Jew – is haggle into existence an immunity device. You do this by asserting that you cannot blame the Jews for what Israel does because the Jews are one thing, and Israel is another. But when Israel does something bad, and someone criticizes it without criticizing the Jews, you still accuse him of antisemitism. You explain that Israel is a place of refuge set-up to protect the Jews from annihilation. When someone criticizes Israel for whatever reason, he expresses the wish to annihilate the Jews. This is why no one must ever be allowed to criticize Israel. And this is how the accusation of antisemitism is turned into an immunity device you can use to get contradictory things done for yourself and for those who will pay your price.

The trouble is that human logic rejects that premise because you can only establish one reality or the other but not both, given that they are mutually exclusive. Either Israel and the Jews are one and the same thing, or they are two different things. This is not the case of lone wolves or members of a terror group – such as the Jewish Defense League, for example – doing bad things and claiming they do them in the name of Judaism. No, it's not that. Rather, it is the case of a Jewish establishment that brings together Israel and the Jews into a group that draws no demarcation line between Jewish, Israeli and Zionist. They all claim to be one and the same, and they all refuse to be split into religion, citizenship or ideology.

Now that you have the accusation of antisemitism to use as an immunity device, you can turn it into a loophole to pass through it those who wish to get to the other side. They will pay for the privilege by promoting Israel and the other Jewish causes. You can see how all this will work when you study the article that came under the title: “Anti-Semitism Flourishes At 'Safe Space' Social Justice Conference,” written by Jenna Lifhits and published on September 18, 2016 in the Weekly Standard.

Look into the article and see how the Jewish establishment used two Jewish students to create an incident so that they and the establishment may cry antisemitism where none exists. Their ultimate goal being the creation of a loophole through which the idea of colonialism will pass from the dead water where it is stuck now to a safe harbor where it will look chic and desirable again.

The Jewish establishment sent the pair of Jewish students to a 'Students of Color Conference' (SOCC) having instructed them to behave contrary to what the conference has been about for 27 years. The Jewish students did as instructed, and when rebuffed by the other attendees, came out of the conference crying antisemitism. They ran to the Jewish controlled media where they hollered the imagined aching they said they had in the belly, and the Weekly Standard published the story they related.

Here is what Lifhits says the SOCC has been about during all those years: “Being a 'safe space' where students of color, as well as white progressive allies, can address and discuss issues of structural and cultural inequality on college campuses.” And here is what the two Jewish students complain was missing at the conference they attended: “Progressive activists devoted to fighting discrimination 'whitewashed' the history of the Jewish people with 'no mention of the Holocaust'”.

That is, the Jews wanted to reverse 27 years of tradition, and turn the conference into a space where kids in their late teens and early twenties would cease to discuss the problems they encounter as they try to make it through the day, and devote their time to wailing and moaning about an incident that happened not on campus, but thousands of miles away before their grandparents were even born. Do you see why the Jews were rebuffed?

But what was the Jewish establishment trying to achieve? Here is a clue: “At a session called 'Existence is Resistance,' students discussed the boycott of Israel.” This is what the Jews have described as “the session [going] way beyond the boundaries of what was appropriate at the SOCC.” That is, the Jews yet again, wanted to change the mandate of the SOCC by compelling the students of color to stop discussing current issues that may touch them personally, and engage in discussions about the Holocaust, a topic that's worth less than a dog's fart in their eyes.

What worries the Jews is that if the Holocaust is relegated to its proper place, which is somewhere between the footnote and being an example of the human condition, the occupation of Palestine will move from being the necessary evil that could not be avoided where it sits now to the evil that should never have happened.

That occupation being an example of how modern colonialism can be made to work – however tenuously that is – letting go of it will vanquish the loophole that a future colonial power might use to take the world back to the dark days of the Nineteenth Century where some Jews and gentiles on the Right wish to take the world.
