You harvest what you plant; everybody understands that. What
is incomprehensible, however, is someone repeatedly planting the same thing
despite the fact that each time, the harvest turns out to be poisonous.
This is the sort of malady America is suffering at this time,
stemming from the collection of cultural sorcery that the Jewish lobby has
weaved all around it. Like a fly wrapped in a spider's web, America is left with no room to maneuver but to
keep mumbling that Israel
is a strong ally. The fact that's obvious to everyone, however, is that the
only thing strong America is
getting from Israel
is a mighty boot up its rear end.
I leave it up to the reader to define what would determine
the strength of an alliance, and delve instead into the business of showing
what a strong boot delivered to America 's
rear end looks like at a time when the latter was expecting something
different. The reference on which I base my argument is an editorial that came
under the title: “A Vultures' Peace in Syria ”
and the subtitle: “Russia
and Turkey divide up the
spoils amid U.S.
irrelevance.” It was published on December 31, 2016 in the Wall Street Journal.
The subtitle reveals that America
was made to feel irrelevant, so you look through the editorial to see what Israel , as a so-called ally, has been doing to
alleviate the feeling but discover that Israel was not mentioned once or
even hinted at in the editorial. In fact, the piece has nothing to do with America 's alliance with Israel or anyone else for that matter, but
everything to do with Russia 's
new alliance with Turkey , as
well as its new popularity in the Middle East .
Well then, if not the role of Israel in a part of the world that
should seriously concern an American-Israeli alliance, what have the editors of
the Journal discussed? In fact, we already mentioned what they said about America 's
irrelevance, but the context in which that reality is unfolding is wider than
what comes out at first blush. To understand this part, we look at the
following condensed version of the events that led to the current situation:
“Turkey
and Russia
announced they brokered a cease-fire between the Syrian regime and the
opposition. The truce took effect on Friday … The announcement is a sign of
diminishing U.S. influence … For the Turks, this means squeezing Syria's Kurds
… Mr. Putin can show others that Russia stands by its friends – unlike the
Americans. Russia
also enhances its growing status as a Middle Eastern power. Putin will get
military bases too. Iran
also gets credit, stretching its influence West to the Mediterranean ”.
While the world is rejoicing for the fact that the people of
Syria
are finally enjoying a moment of peace that promises to become permanent, what
do the editors of the Wall Street Journal say they feel? Believe it or not,
they say they feel so bitter, they cannot rejoice for the gift that Russia and Turkey
gave the people of Syria .
Instead, they want to blame someone for the fact that America was
left out in the cold.
It must be that they are really mad at an Israel that's supposed to be a strong ally of America but
turned out to be a bloodsucking leech that shows up only at dinner time and
never when the going gets tough. Are they not? Oh no … no, no, no, no, no say
the editors of the Wall Street Journal, they are not mad at Israel . They
explain that they view what happened in the Middle East
as being “news that's another insult to President Obama and Secretary of State
John Kerry, who have become irrelevant.” It’s that same old song again.
They end their piece with this metaphor: “The tragic lesson
of Syria
is that when the eagle flies away, the vultures move in.” It is intriguing to
think this may be happening in nature even if no one has documented such an
occurrence. Alternatively, we may think of a metaphor that occurs too often in
real life in such places as an office or a shop floor.
When a supervisor has nothing to fear, he runs the office or
the shop he's responsible for like a Swiss watch. If a weasel digs up dirt on
him, he'll tell him how to run the place, and how to treat everyone else.
Before long, bedlam and paralysis will result, and productivity will plummet.
A weasel will also take advantage of the situation and
behave in a similar fashion if he sees two supervisors that can be played
against each other.
The two metaphors accurately represent the level to which America 's
democracy has sunk. The country used to run as efficiently as a Swiss watch; it
is now closer to being paralyzed.
The reason is that the Jewish weasel has infiltrated it, and
is playing people against people; party against party, and the branches of
government against each other.
The net result is an America
whose standing in the world has sunk to the level of an Israel seen by
the rest of the world as a can of bloodsucking leeches.
