What goes on inside the locker room of the mob of Jewish
pundits bears some resemblance with what goes on inside the locker room of any
sports team.
The difference between the two is that in sports, the team
plays to win a clean game under the watchful eyes of the referee and the
linemen, whereas the mob of Jewish pundits schemes to create shock and awe, to
see that bombs are dropped, and to make sure that rivers of blood are produced.
This is the sense you get when you read the article that
came under the title: “Team Trump is about to let Iraq
fall into Iran 's
hands,” written by Benny Avni and published on October 16, 2017 in the New York
Post. This is where Avni plays the role of a coach in the middle of giving a
pep talk exhorting the team to go out there and score a decisive win against
the enemy.
But because the writer had realized that this specific
situation was extremely delicate, he summoned all the wits about him to make
his point as subtly as possible lest he reveal that his intent today is the
same as it has always been. That is, he spoke softly this time to mean the
following: Our team must win because the fight is an existential one for us and
our friends. This means that a big win will insure that we'll live another day;
but a loss of any kind will insure that we'll be physically annihilated.
Still, you can see at the outset that the coach does not
really believe America
is at risk of being annihilated. But he uses the language of subtle demagoguery
to fill the team with the determination that should power it while it tries to
vanquish the enemy for good. You'll gather this much from reading the first
sentence of the article because you'll get the feeling that the writer has
determined Kurdistan is at risk of falling into the hands of Iran's
Revolutionary Guard … Kurdistan being the province of Iraq, Israel wants to
pull to its side.
To make it sound that if oil-rich Kurdistan stays with Iraq rather than break away, will pose a mortal
danger to the national security of the United States , Benny Avni spent the
rest of the pep talk to draw a totally contrived line connecting the two
events. He says in effect that if Kurdistan does not surrender, there will be
war involving all the neighbors, and Iraq
will ultimately become a subsidiary of Iran 's Revolutionary Guard. He
calls the latter a terrorist organization and an enemy of the United States .
Nothing can be scarier than that.
To make the drama sound more poignant than it is, Avni
laments that “Iraqi forces trounced Kurdish fighters in a short battle for
control of oil-rich Kirkuk .”
This happened, he says, because of the good training that America gave
the Iraqis and because they used American weapons. The author also reminds the
readers that in 2014, fighters of the Islamic State (ISIS) had stormed Iraq , causing
the Iraqi army to collapse. That's when the Kurdish fighters – who were
defeated today – entered Kirkuk
and secured the city, he goes on to say. It must be that the reversal of
fortunes was upsetting him enormously.
Having made these points, Avni does not stop here but goes
on to intensify the poignancy of the situation by lamenting the stance that
Team Trump has taken with regard to the developments in Iraq . Look how
he begins this segment of his lamentation: “As the Kurdish crisis was brewing,
the Trump administration called for the need to maintain Iraq 's
territorial integrity.” He must be counting on the bleeding hearts to bleed
profusely at this point.
This done, he embarks on a Jewish style speculative bout as
to how badly things will turn out if America does not intervene. For
this to sound plausible, he must paint the actors who wear the enemy hat as
being very bad people. Here is how he does that: “America 's
indifference to Kurdish independence encouraged Kurdistan's neighbors to do
things the Mideast way.” That's it ... he said
the Mideast way. Since nothing can be worse
than the Mideast way, things are going to get
really nasty, according to him.
How nasty, you ask? Nasty enough that Kirkuk, which is a key
regional asset, is about to be dominated by the head of the Revolutionary
Guard, General Suleimani, who will want to do things his way.
