Clifford D. May is fuming because the world was not set on
fire. He saw an opportunity for at least the Western alliance to fire up its
afterburner and go after the mullahs when Iranian protesters took to the streets
complaining about rising food prices. But May was sorely disappointed when this
did not happen.
And so he did what comes naturally to a Jew on such
occasions; he maligned the Western alliance. He did so in a column that came
under the title: “The European Union declines to support Iranians demanding
relief from oppression and hunger,” published on January 9, 2018 in The
Washington Times.
Nothing rushes wisdom into the heads and hearts of those who
are destined to be wise like the sight of a noble giant falling on his face,
brought down by a lowborn cipher. That's what happened to the members of the
Western alliance who finally realized that America was no longer the giant it
used to be, infected as it was by the Judeo-Yiddish ruinous virus.
Without trying to explain the real reasons why America 's supposed allies deserted the
superpower at a time like this, Clifford May quoted the sayings of those who
volunteered to give their explanation as to why they will not stand with America on this
occasion. And as usual, the answers were tinged with diplomatic correctness
because they are too embarrassing to utter directly. Here is what was said:
The European Union and the British Foreign Secretary thought
it was enough to ask both sides in the Iran conflict to refrain from
violence. The priority of the EU Foreign Affairs Representative was to go to Cuba where she
had urgent business to do there. As to the leader of the opposition in Britain , she didn't know who was wearing the
white hats in Iran ,
so she said nothing and did nothing.
It was left to the French President and the Russian UN
ambassador to give a hint as to what the real reasons were for America's allies
to “throw America under the bus” at this time. The French President warned America and Israel
as well as Saudi Arabia that
they should stay out of Iran 's
internal affairs. As to the Russian ambassador, he suggested that the UN
Security Council should discuss America 's
festering maltreatment of its own citizens rather than waste time trying to
point out deficiencies in Iran 's
treatment of its citizens, if any.
But why exactly has the world, and not just America 's allies, turned against America this
abruptly? We find the answer to this question in the rest of the article.
Clifford May quotes Richard Haas who pointed out the simultaneous occurrence of
two events. He said that the statement of the Russian UN ambassador “reveals
how isolated the U.S.
has become along with the absence of obligations to protect freedom and human
rights.” And then Clifford May seconded Richard Haas with these words: “Haas is
right. The number of countries willing to defend fundamental liberties is small
and shrinking”.
The key word here is “fundamental.” When you say
fundamental, you mean something that applies to all of humanity. And so, if and
when you apply the double standard of ignoring the human rights violations of
one while screaming your head off at the violations of another, you do yourself
in real good. This is what happened to the United States of America . It screams
at everyone that seems to violate human rights except Israel .
In fact, instead of directing even the mildest of rebukes at
the beastly behavior of Israel towards the Palestinian population, America has
financed, armed and protected that behavior for decades … and continues to do
so at an increasing rate. That's what has disgusted the world about America , so
much so that its pretense of standing for human rights anywhere in the world
goes down the throat of even its allies like acid.
So then, what does Clifford May suggest the Trump
administration should do? Aside from continuing to do what America is already doing, he is suggesting that
“whatever information U.S.
intelligence has about stolen assets held by Iranian government entities,
should be publicized. Ordinary Iranians have a right to know how much was taken
from their pockets. Ordinary Europeans have a right to know who their leaders
are afraid to offend and eager to appease”.
