Glance over the membership rolls of think tanks; also scan
the electronic and print media of America to establish a sense of how
much Jewish interest there is in national issues as opposed to foreign policy
issues.
You'll find that no more than one percent of Jews are
dedicated to the articulation of American issues. You'll discover that all the
others are immersed in matters relating to foreign policy, which means one
thing only: they are dedicated to the promotion of Israel 's interests.
When you study what they publish, or what they do if and
when hired to serve in a public capacity, you'll find that they function as a
mob of semi-independent operators who get daily instructions from someone in Israel as to
what the important issues of the day are. It is then up to each individual to
develop and present the arguments that will serve Israel to the fullest. Thus, while
each operator proceeds in accordance with his or her style and talent, they
collectively sound like an echo chamber playing the same tune on a variety of
instruments.
A prominent member of the echo chamber is Clifford D. May
who is also founder and president of the think tank identifying itself by the
pretentious name, Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He wrote: “The battle
for the lands of the caliphate,” an article that was published on November 21,
2017 in The Washington Times.
At this juncture, the important issue of the day for Israel is the growing strength of Iran . This is
why the entire Jewish mob in North America was
mobilized to echo that tune over and over. But having learned that when they
present Israel 's
case in the “in-your face” style the way they used to, they get nowhere –
members of the mob softened their approach. They now peddle the same old ideas
but in a more subdued tone. It’s like the saying that goes: It's the old wine
in a new bottle.
Still, the new approach, like the old, stands on four legs.
The reader will discern them when reading the article. They go as follows: (1)
The Iranians are portrayed as irredeemably evil people who hate America and
will never change. (2) The Iranians are developing the means to carry out evil
operations against America
and American citizens abroad. (3) The Americans can still stop the Iranians in
their tracks but only if they act now. (4) It will be too late if the Americans
wait much longer before acting.
The following are condensed excerpts from the Clifford May
article. Each excerpt reflects as much as possible the essential content of one
leg:
First: “Iran 's
rulers are jihadis. Their goal is to establish a Shia Crescent in the Middle
East . They intend to become powerful. What they plan to do next is
no mystery. They will threaten the pro-American nations of the region. National
security advisers harbor no illusions about them. They understand that when Iran 's rulers chant 'Death to America !' they
articulate an intergenerational project”.
Comment: Iran 's
rulers do not chant “Death to America .”
The people of Iran chant:
“Death to America , death to Israel ,” each time that someone in America or Israel utters the words: “All
options are on the table.” If America
wants the Iranian chant to stop, it must stop insinuating it will bomb Iran .
Second: “And then there's the question of nuclear weapons ...
Deir Ezzor province, which contains large oil and gas reserves ... If Iran is
allowed to seize Deir Ezzor, it will have effectively established a land bridge
from Tehran to the Mediterranean Sea”.
Comment: The oil and gas reserves of Syria may be large in the eyes of Israel , but they are no more than a drop in the
bucket compared to the reserves of Iran .
Third: “Halting the land bridge will require an American
commitment to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). It will need funding, air
power and the assistance of U.S. Special Forces. Such a commitment carries
risks. But so does hesitation. Iran 's
rulers have been urging the SDF to cut its own deal with Assad's forces now
rather than wait to confront them after the U.S. abandons the battlefield.
Confronting enemies – it is preferable to do it when the enemies are weaker
rather than stronger”.
Comment: Both America
and Israel confronted much
weaker enemies than Iran or
any of its allies, and did so poorly, they'll scoff at the suggestion they'll
have an easier time confronting Iran
and its allies now or later.
Fourth: “A fellow at the Middle East Institute wrote that
the next phase of the conflict in Syria
is for the resistance forces to confront the U.S. military and its local allies.
It would be useful for President Trump to communicate the days when Iran 's rulers
could slaughter Americans with impunity are over”.
Comment: And the Iranian people will reply that the days
when the American or Israeli rulers could bomb Iran or any of its allies with
impunity are over.
The time has come for the American government to sever its
ties with these demonic tanks, and cancel their tax exempt status.
