If you're looking for a spokesman to accurately represent Israel 's
collective state of mind at this time, you'll find Charles Krauthammer to be a
perfect candidate for the task.
The Israelis – or rather the Jews – were not always of the
current state of mind. They went through several transformations since the
ancient days when they were nomadic tribes roaming the desert in the northern
part of the Arabian Peninsula . This was a time
when little was developed about the concept of “nation state” having borders as
well defined as they are today, and territorial integrity jealously protected
as today.
Even the great empires of the time – Egypt , Mesopotamia and Persia – that surrounded the
deserts where the Jews roamed did not have lines drawn in the sand to indicate
how far they extended. And so, nothing was there to obstruct the Jewish nomads
who started to venture into those empires looking for food and shelter. In
addition, the Jews discovered that unlike the tribal habit of huddling with
your kind, xenophobia was unknown to the dwellers of the empires, a situation
that the Jews exploited to the hilt.
Realizing they cannot go back into the arid desert and build
an empire as great as those which rose on the banks of rivers, the Jews put
together strategies to infiltrate the ruling classes of the existing empires
and share in their governance. In time, they got so greedy as to develop two
trends that turned out to be the ingredients of their demise. They tried to intermarry
with members of the ruling class, and tried to monopolize the levers of power.
When the locals understood what the Jews were scheming, they took action to
protect themselves and the empire. This meant hard times, even deadly times for
the Jews.
By the time that the territory now known as Greece had
developed enough to form city states, the Jews that were in Egypt had developed
the vision to go to fertile Palestine, snatch it from its owners and build an
empire there. By the time they secured the land, the Greek culture had moved
west to Rome
where it blossomed into the Roman Civilization. And the first thing that the
Romans did was expand their empire by conquering other lands. This had them
grab Palestine
where the Jews were still struggling to build their own empire.
The advent of the Romans helped scatter the Jews everywhere,
including Rome
where they had little luck infiltrating the ruling class. But as the Romans
expanded their reach into the rest of backward Europe, the Jewish sophisticates
of Rome were
able to impress the locals enough to teach them and to marry from among them.
However, Christianity that was having better luck in Rome
was also making inroads in the rest of Europe .
To compete against it, the rabbis transformed Judaism in the second century AD,
trying to make it attractive to the pagans of Europe .
The new concoction took on the name Rabbinical Judaism but – flashing the
message of exclusive superiority – it failed to compete against the Christian
message of compassion and equality. The number of Christians rose whereas the
Jews barely budged.
Meanwhile, as the Romans got into prolonged fights battling
the Persians, the empire began to disintegrate, and the seat of power moved to
Constantinople (now Istanbul ,
Turkey Persia
and the remnants of Rome .
This is when the Jews saw an opportunity to turn Europe
into the empire of their dream. They embraced the rising Arab Civilization, and
tried to impose it on the Europeans. The trouble is that a Frenchman by the
name of Charlemagne wanted to unite Europe and
rule over it. He was Christian, thus used Christianity to raise armies and went
after the Semites – be they Muslim Arabs or Jewish Hebrews.
During the melee, the Jews made the mistake that planted the
seeds of antisemitism. To understand how it happened, we need to know something
about the ancient Egyptian word, “khem.” It referred to the black silt of the Nile , a material that's used to make many things ... from
cosmetics to pottery to building material and what have you. In fact, it was
the indispensable chemical agent of the time, so much so, that when the Arabs
put down the foundation for modern science – which they started with the
development of chemical science – they tweaked the word khem, turning it into
al-kemia, which then became alchemy in Europe, and later still, chemistry.
Seeing that small European nations such as Portugal, Belgium
and Holland were able to create empires of their own using modern weapons, and
colonizing those that did not have them, the Jews got the idea of going down
the same path and build their own empire on the backs of others. They also got
the idea of enticing the old colonial powers of France
and Britain
to join them at trying to reconquer the colonies from which they were kicked
out.
This began the calamity that took on the name “Occupied
Palestine” which is the subject that Charles Krauthammer tackles in an article
that came under the title: “Why Middle East peace starts in Saudi Arabia ,”
published on May 25, 2017 in The Washington Post.
Once an extreme fanatic advocating Pax Americana according
to which he envisioned an American military steamroller guided by Jews,
sweeping across the Middle East and smashing
the existing set-up – Charles Krauthammer was forced to abandon the fantasy for
now. He put on hold the underlying dream of crushing the local regimes, erasing
the borderlines between the jurisdictions, and placing the resulting parts
under Israeli control. In lieu of that, he developed a new delusion; one that
happens to be a fantasy that's also shared by all members of the mob of Jewish
pundits.
They imagine the formation of an anti-Iran, anti-Sunni
terrorism alliance of Sunni nations that will side with an America that's
controlled by Jews. This will lead to detente between the Arab countries and Israel , they say, and will force the adoption of
the “outside-in” approach to resolving the occupation of Palestine . But when you parse what that
means, it comes down to the Arabs joining America
in a criminal conspiracy to give Israel what belongs to the
Palestinians without Palestinian consent.
