Self-terrified Men spewing psychedelic Delusions

There is an old saying, claimed to be of Jewish origin, which goes like this: “Those whom God intends to destroy, he first renders them mad.” And you know that someone was rendered mad when you see them froth nonsense at the mouth.

Divine intervention or not, some people go psycho and lose control of their mouths when they are affected by the physical environment in which they live. In this case, a medical doctor could probably find a cure for them. Other people go psycho when they are affected by the psycho-cultural environment they would have created for themselves. In this case, even a psychiatrist could not do a thing to save them.

Now imagine people that grew up in a cultural environment where, as children, their elders drummed into their heads horrible stories about an event they call the Holocaust. This happened, they are told, before they, or even their parents were born. It is further explained to them that people like themselves were singled out for a punishment that was as painful as hell itself. And they are advised that the same thing can happen to them because the evil that caused past suffering is still around and stalking them because they are Jews. Think how much on edge these kids would have been during all the time they were growing up.

Now imagine history unfolding in such a way that superpower America, which rescued the survivors of the Holocaust, took them in and gave their offspring the opportunity to work on establishing a haven for Jews in a place that used to be called Palestine. It is now referred to as Israel, a place for Jews; and occupied Palestine, a place for Christians and Muslims.

Because the offspring grew up with the idea that if someone can hurt the Jews, he will hurt them, the Jews developed the belief that the way to prevent someone from hurting them in Israel is to prevent everyone near them from becoming strong. Therefore, the duty of every Jew in the world, must be to work relentlessly––using any means they can think of, including the use and abuse of their friends––to keep sabotaging every progress made by Israel's neighbors so that they remain week, helpless and backward.

To that end, one of the schemes they came up with involved the appointment of Jewish charlatans like Dennis Ross and Michael Makovsky to masquerade as American mediators working to resolve disputes that involve Israel, and a Palestinian population that wants nothing more than to be free of the Jewish occupation. What the charlatans were doing however was buy time for Israel's leaders to strengthen the occupation of Palestine. For a number of decades, things went so well for the Jews they thought the way was clear for them to start scheming for greater achievements still, using American power.

And then it happened that the Jews discovered they were living an illusion. While they made what they thought was progress against the unarmed people of Palestine, two trends they failed to detect were developing under their nose. First, the Palestinians were winning the case in the court of public opinion, thus nullified the sympathy that the Jews had gained exploiting the Holocaust. Second, Turkey and Iran who used to be Israel's non-Arab close friends in the Middle East, suddenly turned against Israel. And so the Jews realized that the whole world was rooting for the Palestinians because everyone had discovered what the Jews were really like.

The Jews became disillusioned, and that realization had such a powerful impact on them, they began to hallucinate. You can sense this reality in the article that Michael Makovsky wrote under the title: “One way to counter Iran's aggression?” and the subtitle: “Change the map of the Middle East.” It was published on Dec. 26, 2017 on the website of Fox News. Another article came under the title: “In the Mideast, Trump Gives Reality a Chance,” and the subtitle: “The first step toward peace is to stop indulging the Palestinians' fantasies of destroying Israel.” It was written by Reuel Marc Gerecht and published on Dec. 27, 2017 in the Wall Street Journal.

With regard to Michael Makovsky, what follows is a condensed version of what he wrote:

Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen … there is nothing sacred about these countries' borders. They are artificial constructs created in a failed experiment by international leaders … The principal vulnerability of Iran's strategy is its dependence on ethno-sectarian fissures. The United States [too] should exploit this vulnerability … An added benefit of this approach could be fomenting the tensions within Iran, which has Kurdish and Azeri populations … Iran intends to dominate the region and destroy Israel. President Trump should take the offensive to Iran. The current political structure of the Middle East serves Iran's interests, and it is time to upend it”.

Thus, Makovsky looked at Israel, which is the most artificial construct ever put together by the United Nations, and called 4 Arab countries artificial. He looked at the miserable failure that the Israeli experiment has been, and said the Arab nations were a failed experiment. He looked at the success that Iran has had, and begged America to emulate Iran’s policy of exploiting the region's ethno-sectarian fissures to win the way that Iran does.

That was Michael Makovsky's moment of frothing at the mouth. He thus signaled he was rendered mad, perhaps with divine intervention or perhaps not. As to Reuel Gerecht, what follows is the condensed version of the passages which are most pertinent to his delusion:

“Competent Palestinian governance is the only chance Palestinian society has … A two-state solution isn't going to happen before Palestinians reconcile in a functioning democracy … Americans, Europeans and Israelis are responsible for elongating the Palestinian delusions about the “right of return” and a sovereign East Jerusalem”.

It is evident that Reuel Gerecht is frightened by the reality that the Palestinians are coming close to getting what they want, which is implementation of the “right of return” and a sovereign East Jerusalem.

Thus, he fantasizes about the Palestinians – who are a people under occupation – behaving like a government composed of Mothers Theresa, and not like the Israeli presidents and prime ministers that keep getting thrown in jail for embezzling the foreign compensation money that's sent to Holocaust survivors, and for serially raping their office workers.

Aside from the mythical exploits of Jeanne D'Arc, no colony was ever liberated by a Mother Theresa or someone that came close to having her faultless nobility. Thus, contrary to his power for self-delusion, Reuel Gerecht will not find such a creature in Palestine or anywhere in the world.

Will he now stop deluding himself?
