Jonathan Tobin's Truth telling is a sad Joke

Jonathan S. Tobin took on the New York Times because he says the newspaper does not report accurately on Iran. He ended his article by calling this kind of reporting a sad joke. Well, I'm not going to argue with Tobin on this matter for two reasons. First, I do not inject myself in the fight between two jerks and second, I called the New York Times's reporting on Israel and the Arab world, especially Egypt, worse names than a sad joke.

But if you've lived on this planet during the last few weeks, and were exposed to American media of any kind, you could not have missed the blizzard of congratulations that were offered to those that encouraged the protesters in Iran, including the statements and tweets that were put out by the President of the United States, and those who spoke in the name of the White House.

Moreover, for every word of encouragement that was uttered by anyone, hundreds of other words were uttered by the media types, begging America's elites to encourage the Iranians to protest even more. They also called on the West to do more – not just in words – but do it via clandestine operations. And amid all of this, there was mention of previous cyber attacks and bombing operations that caused considerable damage in lives lost, and serious destruction of property in Iran.

This is where I argue with Jonathan Tobin who wrote “How Not to Report on Iran,” an article that was published on January 7, 2018 in National Review Online. Before unleashing his attack on the New York Times, Tobin set the stage to justify his attack by doing one of the jerkiest things the Jews have been doing for half a century: They enjoy the habit of bragging about doing the things that the world does not approve of while denying doing them in the same breath. Look how Tobin introduced his readers to the situation in Iran:

“The ayatollahs' attempt to blame the protests on the CIA gets a boost from the New York times. The regime made it clear there was a plot by the CIA and its Saudi and Israeli allies. The success of the 1979 revolution was rooted in grievances about Western responsibility for the tyrannical monarchy then in power in Iran. Since then, Iran's theocrats have resurrected the memory of the 1953 coup in which the CIA helped put the shah back in power. The security of their regime rests on feeding a belief that their country and Shiite Islam are under siege by malevolent outside forces. They know that so long as Iranians are focused on America, Israel and Saudi Arabia, they will continue to let their rulers get away with murder”.

This prompts the question: Why did Tobin start his article by denying something most of the people who read his articles would know is a lie? No doubt this is a mystery that needs to be resolved. In the meantime, however, we must not ignore the tremendous damage that this Jewish habit is causing, not to the Iranian targets of Tobin's misinformation, but to the intended recipients of it. These would be his readers and the American culture. Yes, the culture suffers, given that his readers are an active part of it.

Throwing accusations at people behind their backs in the knowledge that they will not respond, has been a Jewish pastime since time immemorial. But when they managed to monopolize the American media, they discovered they can practice their habit by openly insulting those overseas who did not bother to respond. In fact, the foreigners viewed such antics as nothing more than the Jews engaging in their other most favored pastime: screwing their American hosts in the head.

Thus, while the Jews were unable to change the world in fifty years, they changed America by imparting to it their worst cultural characteristics. And you don't have to be a genius to see how low America has sunk by absorbing ever increasing doses of the Judeo-Yiddish culture.

Watching a dysfunctional Congress and a journalism that has become as shallow an institution as the televangelists that tell their flocks the Jew is the new God they must worship – the foreigners overseas were so frightened they decided that the time had come to respond to American provocations tit for tat.

The Philippines and North Korea adopted the policy of trading insult for insult. As to the Russians, they played the more sophisticated game of mentioning America's shortcomings, telling it to fix its own problems (such as Black Lives Matter) whenever America's parrot at the UN mentions the Iran protests. And there will be more of that in the future because America has taken the path the Jews took on their eternal journey to nowhere.
