When someone suffers from a cultural bipolar disorder, they
behave like the Jewish leaders who see a conspiracy brewing against “their
people” everywhere they look, or see eternal salvation in every act of kindness
that is directed at them, no matter how insignificant the act may be. And so,
you'll find these leaders apt to go from extreme depression to extreme euphoria
and back in no time at all.
In fact, these back and forth swings happen to Jewish leaders
whether they deal with big events or with small ones anywhere they happen in
this busy world, given that pervasive and instantaneous communication keeps
nothing hidden from anyone. What is odd, however, is not that the Jewish
leaders respond to events, but that they interpret them like no one else does.
There are times when the Jewish response to an event rises
to the level of the troublesome, and you can see a manifestation of that in two
recent articles. One article came under the title: “A Historic Holocaust
Awareness Awakening in Saudi
Arabia , of all places,” written by Robert
Satloff and published on January 26, 2018 on the website of Washington
Institute. The other article came under the title: “Israel ,
Poland
in row over Holocaust bill,” carried by Agence France Presse (AFP) on January
27, 2018.
It often happens that when Jews see a non-event, they
interpret it to be a significant event. They will not tell you this, but their
reaction will cause you to think they just visualized the messiah coming down
in blazing glory to hand them the ownership parchment of Planet Earth. You'll
get that sense when you see how euphoric Robert Satloff became as he described
his encounter and subsequent dealings with a Saudi official that treated him
with warmth and respect.
He says he went to Saudi Arabia where he was well
received by an official of the Muslim World League named Issa. When he returned
home, he wrote to Issa inviting him to come to Washington and address the Washington
Institute. Being a Jew, he did not think this was enough, so he asked for one
more thing. He asked Issa to also visit the Holocaust Memorial when he comes to
Washington ,
and meet with its director, Sara Bloomfield. Issa wrote back accepting both
requests.
Now, my friend, I ask you this: What do you think happens to
a Jew when he gets so greedy that he asks not just for one finger but for two
of them, and gets them? The answer is that he gets greedier still and asks for
the whole arm. Here, in Satloff own words, how he did just that: “A few days
later, I had another 'why not?' idea. I wrote Issa asking whether he would send
a letter to Bloomfield
that she could make public,” and Issa did.
To any normal human being, the way that Issa responded was
natural human behavior. Anyone in Satloff's place would have stopped telling
that story here. But that's not what happened to Satloff the Jew who went on to
do the equivalent of a dog urinating on your rug. Look at the following pack of
hateful lies and be disgusted:
“My passion has been to engage Arabs and Muslims in a
discussion of the Holocaust … Tearing down the walls of Holocaust denial so
widespread in Arab and Muslim culture is a critical element in the fight
against hatred. I worked with the Holocaust
Memorial Museum
The truth is that no Arab or Muslim would deny or confirm
the Holocaust anymore than they would deny or confirm that my next door
neighbor used to have a brown cat. They don't know, don't care and don't waste
time trying to learn a foreign word. The truth is that once in a thousand blue
moons or so, one Arabic publication might mention the Holocaust, writing it the
way it is pronounced in English. They deliberately avoid using the Arabic
translation – which would be “naqba” – because that's what happened to the
Palestinians when Israel
was created. And no Arab or Muslim that reads Arabic – pronouncing it “hooloocost”
– would bother asking what the hell that is because they don't give a hoot.
In addition to his load of beastly lies about the Arabs and
the Muslims, Robert Satloff repeated what he knows is the opposite of what's
increasingly happening in Europe, Latin America and even North America. Here is
that part: “...discussion of the Holocaust to help prevent future genocide by
spreading the lessons of the Holocaust.”
No. He and all Jews know by now that shoving the Holocaust
down the throats of people rekindles what has come to be called antisemitism.
If another pogrom or holocaust happens to Jews, it will be because the Jews
brought it on themselves trying to keep milking the one that took place three
quarters of a century ago. This much can be deduced from reading the AFP story.
The story tells about a Polish Parliament that wants to make
it so that any reference to what happened in Poland
during the Second World War will reflect exactly what happened historically,
and not what Benjamin Netanyahu wishes had happened so that he may continue to
suck money directly from Poland
and indirectly through the European Union. More power to the Parliament.
