Recreating the Elements of a perfect Storm

When something bad happens – say, the landing gear of an airplane does not deploy – the chances are that the pilot will land it safely anyway, and save the lives of the passengers onboard. On the other hand, when several bad things happen simultaneously or even sequentially … the phenomenon is called a catastrophic incident, and the chances are that the plane and passengers will be lost.

Can this serve as a metaphor for what happens socially, politically or militarily? The answer is yes, and there is a vivid example of that. It was the Second World War; a time when Germany felt humiliated by the Treaty of Versailles. It found itself without resources or colonies, with a top notch cadre of scientists and engineers, and it was led by a mesmerizing orator and demagogue named Hitler. These were the elements that provided the critical mass for the formation of a perfect storm. In fact, such storm did materialize eventually, and one of its consequences has been the Holocaust of Jews and others.

Now this question: Can the Holocaust become the reason around which another critical mass might form and lead to a perfect storm that will culminate into a new catastrophe? To answer this question, we first look at the prevailing elements that could come together and produce the dreaded outcome. To begin with, there is the established reality that victims of abuse tend to become abusers themselves.

That is, the Jews who were abused at the time of the Holocaust and participated in the establishment of Israel, were prime candidates to abuse the Palestinians who understandably did not welcome them into their homes nor yielded their properties to them. The Jews turned abusive and used weapons similar to those of the Nazis against Palestinian peasants that were helpless, disarmed and under British occupation.

Whereas this condition prevailed during the decade of the 1940s, the Jewish leaders prepared the groundwork to perpetuate it through the coming generations. To this end, they gave it the flair of a struggle that's necessary to acquire what they claimed God had promised to the Jews. And so, they designed and implemented a strategy by which to infiltrate the institutions of the big powers, and use them to achieve their ends.

First, the Jewish leaders silenced those who objected to anything they did, accusing them of antisemitism. Second, they taught generations of Jews how to keep the struggle alive by taking them on tours to visit the concentration camps and Holocaust memorials. Thus, the leaders drummed into the heads of youngsters that this will happen to them and their offspring if they abandon the struggle. The result has been the creation of three successive generations of Holocaust psychos, each more fanatic and more bloodthirsty than the previous.

Even though these generations were not around to be abused during the Holocaust of the 1940s, they are the ones now committing the horrendous crimes we see unfold in Israel proper and the occupied territories. It is that the education they received at the hands of their elders filled them with a taste for savagery more potent than the reality of the Nazi horrors which created the early abusers.

Another element that was added to this combination is an American political system that has become so busy serving the special interest groups; it has no time to serve the population that elects it. And given that the Jewish interest has gained a supreme position in that system, the American government acknowledges that while a wide gulf separates a blue American from a red American, it shamelessly boasts that no daylight is allowed to pass between Israel and America's welcome, wealth or weapons. In short, America – lock, stock and barrel – has turned itself into the exclusive property of the Jews.

The combination of these elements needed two more to be ready for the perfect storm that could rival the horrors of World War II. It needed a Hitler and a powerful military industrial complex. As to the latter, America has been playing this role – no problem there. But is there a Hitler on the horizon that can mesmerize the Israelis while demagoguing the Palestinians? Well, my friend, you'll have to make that judgment yourself.

To help you, there is an article that came under the title: “Israel Bulldozes Democracy,” written by Ayman Odeh and published on February 12, 2017 in the New York Times. While mindful of the fact that Odeh is an Israeli citizen, describing the situation in Israel proper, pay close attention to passages such as this: “Arabs make up a fifth of Israel's population, yet only 2.5 percent of the land is under Arab jurisdiction.” Now try to imagine what else Israel is doing in the West Bank.

Also pay attention to passages such as this: “I proposed a two-year moratorium on demolishing homes, together with a public campaign to discourage illegal building. The plan has the support of the relevant ministries … Treating the Arab population as enemy is a political maneuver. Mr. Netanyahu knows that … treating us as untouchables. The existence of unrecognized villages is the most blatant example of the government's cruelty toward its Arab citizens”.

The Jews have been at it for several millenniums, and have paid the price everywhere they went time after time. So, what's wrong with the Americans, letting the Jews lead them by the nose? Are they looking for trouble? Why can they not do what the Europeans have done, and tell the Jews: we'll treat you like everyone else – as equals under the law with no privileges for you or Israel?
