Can they say this is American Thinking?

Let's think up a little story that could well involve you. A gang of thugs breaks into your house, pushes you and your family into the woodshed that's out in the backyard, and takes over the house with all its content.

The neighbors who have known you and your family for generations – going back to the beginning of time – do not like what they see, thus call the police and tell them what they believe is going on. A group of law enforcement officers and legal experts arrive and tries to figure out what the problem is, and what to do.

After talking to the neighbors, the legal group talks to the gang of thugs, asking it to bring you and your family into the discussion. A woman steps forward, identifies herself as an American thinker and says her name is Shoshana Bryen. She gives the police a terse “no” to the request that you and your family be included in the discussion. The legal experts advise the gang they cannot talk to it without hearing the other side of the story directly from you, the other party to the litigation.

Well, you'll know the rest of the story, dear friend, when you read the article that came under the title: “Does Trump Get the Israel-Arab Problem?” It was written by Shoshana Bryen and published on June 23, 2017 in the publication of non-thinkers calling itself The American Thinker.

After an introduction as to who the players are in this unfolding story, Bryen cuts to the chase and unveils the obligatory scene. Here it is in her own words: “The parties to the dispute are Israel and the Arab states, not Israel and the Palestinians.” In other words, she says that you and your family will stay out of the property's site because from this point forward, you'll have no say in the matter. The gang of thugs will only talk to the legal experts, telling them to impress upon your neighbors that the property belongs to the gang. You have no valid claim to it whatsoever, and they better get used to the idea.

To explain her reasoning, Bryen quotes Machiavelli as having said that peace is “the condition imposed by the winner on the loser of the last war.” She makes it clear she embraces this idea, and wants to say that Israel won the war against the Arab states, therefore it can impose its peace on those states. This means they must agree to give Israel what it wants even if it is Palestine, which is not theirs to begin with. Try figuring this out.

Aside from the whole idea being a Machiavellian abomination, Bryen created two serious problems with her reasoning. As stated, one problem is that the Arabs cannot give away what is not theirs anymore than W. Bush could. In fact, the Jews tried incessantly to pull that same stunt on him, and so (to get them out of his hair) he responded by giving them a meaningless letter. They tried to interpret it as saying that Bush gave them the go ahead to plunder Palestine, and sang this song for years till someone told them to shut the (bleep) up. And they did … for now.

The other serious problem created by Bryen for herself is that Israel never won a war fighting an Arab state. It scored a temporary success in the initial surprise attack it launched against Egypt in 1967, but kept losing after that till it was kicked out of the Sinai in 1973. The same thing happened when the Gazans kicked Israel out of Gaza; when Hezbollah kicked it out of South Lebanon, and when the Syrians kicked it out of East Golan. This is why Israel is no longer in those places. It is out not because it won those wars, as fantasized by delusional Jews, but because it lost them.

So then, what do you think Shoshana Bryen did to justify embracing the Machiavellian concept? She did what the Jews always do; she mutilated history with this saying: “The crux of the dispute is the continuing refusal of Arab states – the losers of all the wars – to meet the central requirement of UN Resolution 242.” Oh gosh! The woman just shot herself in the foot like a six-year old playing with a loaded gun. And in so doing, she created yet another problem for herself.

Maybe she should sit with someone of the Alan Dershowitz or John Bolton age. They'll fill her in on the history of Security Council Resolution 242. Briefly stated, this is the resolution that started the Jewish tsunami of insults against the UN. It is what prompted Dershowitz to dedicate 50 years of his professional life, hollering that accepting the resolution will mark the start of Israel's retreat not to the borders of 1967, but to those of 1948. In fact, this is what Israel is legally entitled to, and no more. And that's what provoked John Bolton to advocate blowing up a good part of the UN building.

What all this indicates is that the Judeo-Israeli propaganda machine is running out pundits willing to commit journalistic suicide defending the indefensible. Like every organized mob, the machine of infamy is now recruiting child foot soldiers to carry on with the fight to the bitter end.

Intellectually, Shoshana Bryen's level of thinking – no matter her real age – has proven to be no higher than that of a child soldier … whether she calls her thinking Jewish or American.
