The New York Daily News (NYDN) published an editorial
expressing its opposition to Representative Keith Ellison running to be chair
of the Democratic National Committee (DNC.) As far as I am concerned, Mr.
Ellison is big enough and strong enough to defend himself; I am not defending
him.
The editorial came under the title: “Unfit for the chair”
and the subtitle: “Democrats should pick someone other than Rep. Keith Ellison
to lead the DNC.” It was published on December 1, 2016 in the NYDN. What is
wrong with this editorial goes beyond the current discussion. It reveals the
inability of these editors to formulate an argument that rises to a level
compatible with human logic.
Like the folks who run the Jewish Anti-Defamation League
(ADL,) the editors of the NYDN are advancing two contradictory arguments in the
same breath. This is a serious defect but unfortunately a common one among
human beings. What is distinctly Jewish, however, is that the two arguments are
interlocked in this case as they often are, and cannot be separated.
The editors complain that Keith Ellison has expressed a
viewpoint which, they may or may not know it, is shared by many, including the
political and journalistic elites in Israel . It is to the effect that:
“The United States foreign policy in the Middle East is governed by what is
good or bad through a country of 7 million people.” They voice their complaint
and then use it as the basis to ask (or demand) that something be done to
protect Israel .
To this end, the NYDN has asked (and the ADL has demanded) that Keith Ellison
be rejected in his bid to chair the Democratic National Committee. This is
supposed to protect Israel
in their view.
For the Jews to complain that Keith Ellison has said they
have the power to determine what transpires in America , and then demand that he be
defeated because of what he said – thus prove they have the power he says they
have, and they say they don't – is a kind of interlocking nonsense that is a
specialty of the Jews.
Common in Jewish parlance, this kind of arguments nullify each
other when processed by human logic. And the sad part is that they are
insidiously seeping into America 's
political and diplomatic cultures. To wit, the Judeo-Israeli propaganda machine
spends time and effort drumming into the heads of the Arabs and the Muslims –
in the Middle East and elsewhere – the notion that the American Congress will
do little or nothing to serve the American public, but will rush with frantic
speed in a bipartisan mad dash to pass bills that serve Israel .
As to the Arabs and the Muslims who may still doubt that all
this is real, the Jews confirm it for them by getting someone like America's
Vice President, for example, to assert that “there is no daylight” between America
and Israel. This means that America
will continue to give Israel ,
free of charge, the highest performing attack weapons with which to defeat the
defensive weapons that America
sells to the Arabs. The hidden Jewish message in this is that America and Israel
are so tightly bound the Arabs will never get a break aligning themselves with America .
The subtle recommendation is for the Arabs to break loose and look elsewhere
for defensive weapon systems … and let America
become the exclusive hi-tech “plantation” of Israel .
This is how Israel coordinates with the Jewish establishment
in America to run America's foreign policy, a phenomenon that most Arabs and
Muslims have come to realize is happening, and are baffled by it no end. In
addition, the editors of the NYDN thought that the time had come to tell the
American public and the political and media elites in the country that this
situation is good for America .
And so they decided to advise the non-Jewish Americans of the following:
“He [Ellison] has repeatedly pulled the Democratic Party
further away from its staunch support of Israel . He lamented that the
'people who have a strong sympathy for the Israeli position dominate the
convention' – clearly implying that his
sympathies lay elsewhere.” And this, they say, must be a determining factor in
weighing Ellison's fitness or lack of it to chair the DNC.
Interlocking with this and contradicting it, is the notion
that “Politicians are free to question the intensity of America 's attachment to Israel – but
the DNC chair has special responsibility to carry the party's banner high.”
What the editors do not mention is that the colors of the
banner have changed as demonstrated by the number of young people who supported
Bernie Sanders the candidate to the presidency whom the editors have noted is
supported by Ellison.
