The Israeli operators who handle the politics of the Zionist
machine in America follow a predictable pattern each time that they feel the
paradigm is about to shift in the Washington Beltway and/or in the minds of the
Jewish American rank-and-file.
This time, the shift they fear is not just the old idea of a
two-state solution, but that America has finally realized that the way to
achieve any solution to the occupation of Palestine, is for America to step aside
long enough and let the rest of the world help formulate a solution that's not
dictated by political lobbying or blackmail. To frustrate any such attempt, the
Israelis started jockeying around, looking for the best position from which to
fight the upcoming battle and weaken the blowing winds of change.
To maintain the status quo that has worked for them like a
charm since they took control of America's politico-journalistic setup, the
Zionist operators always invited to Israel someone like Roger Cohen who is
respected and trusted in America – and told him what to do. The instructions
boiled down to laying out a plan that injected a dose of relaxant into the
body-politic of America, calming things down till the urge to cause change had
dissipated. Each time, things got back to the normalcy of the status quo more
or less.
The Israelis did it again, this time commissioning Cohen to
try and explain: “Why Israel
Still Refuses to Choose,” which is the title of a lengthy article he published
on October 28, 2016 in the New York Times. The formula the writer uses to craft
his message is simple, elegant and deceitful. While avoiding the use of harsh
rhetoric, he paints the Palestinians (not as the highly civilized people which
they are, living under a savage Jewish occupation and doing the best they can
to get by one day at a time) but as a hopelessly divided people who lack the
cultural wherewithal to get their act together.
At the same time, he paints the Israelis (not as the
depraved perennial losers who discovered a thoughtless giant in America willing
to help them brutalize a militarily weak society, and rob it of its
possessions) but a pluralistic society where a variety of haggled out opinions
they call democracy, is flourishing.
This done, Cohen finds someone to interview who does a mea
culpa on behalf of Israeli Jews. With apparent humility and the pretense of a
soft heart, he fakes contrition for what the Jews have been inflicting on the
Palestinians because – he admits – they occupy their land, and have not been
considerate enough in the way they treat them.
While advancing that notion, Cohen and his guest promote the
principle for which this whole charade was staged in the first place. Here is
the principle: The two state solution is dead, should not be revived, and will
never work. In fact, Cohen makes a declaration to that effect at the start of
his discussion: 'In the Holy Land , there is
near unanimity that a two-state solution is an illusion sustained by lazy
thinking.' He could not be more definitive than that.
To fulfill the promise that is suggested in the title of the
article, Cohen now explains why Israel
still refuses to choose. Even though he tactfully avoids being too abrasive
with what he says, he could not be subtle enough to prevent the astute reader
from recalling the eternal Jewish chant: I conned you, I conned you, ain't I
smarter than you? Here is how he recounts what Israel has been up to all along:
“Next year it will be a half-century since the occupation of
the West Bank began. More than 370,000
settlers now live there, up from about 249,000 in 2005. The incorporation of
all the biblical Land
of Israel
Why is this a half-century of criminal deception? It is
criminal because an occupying power that alters the facts on the ground commits
an internationally recognized crime. It is deceptive because the Jews told the
Americans not to worry about the settlements. They promised that what goes up
today will be taken down tomorrow, and the Americans were so naïve as to
believe them.
The Americans bought the Jewish lies for half a century
despite the fact that Moshe Dayan had put it bluntly this way: “America offers
us money, arms and advice. We take the money, we take the arms, and we decline
the advice.” Before him, David Ben-Gurion made clear what the Jews had in mind:
“When the matter is dragged out – it brings us benefit”.
So now, Netanyahu can look the Americans in the eye and
chant: We conned you, we conned you, ain't we smarter than you? And America is
forced to live with a criminal albatross wrapped around its neck.
The best way to get rid of that albatross before it turns
into a criminal indictment is for America
to shift the paradigm far away from itself, and let the rest of the world share
the burden of finding a solution to the situation in Palestine .
