When you see a headline that reads: “World Socialism's
Anti-Israel Turn,” you're inclined to think that World Socialism has turned
against Israel just now.
But when you read the article that's developed below the headline,
you encounter this: “The left turned against Israel after the 1967 war ––
refram[ing] Zionism from a story of Jews fighting for a home into another
Western effort to oppress a Third World people.” And you wonder if anyone is
left on Planet Earth that hasn't parted company with Israel due to its conduct
on the world stage.
In fact, the article offers clues as to what's going on with
Israel and its quirky relationship with the human race. Besides having that
headline, which serves as title, the article also came under the subtitle:
“Shimon Peres could once be the honorary president. No more.” The article was
written by Elliot Kaufman and published on July 23, 2018 in the Wall Street
Journal.
After asking if the marriage between the Left and Israel can
be saved, Elliot Kaufman makes the point that while Socialist International,
“has been anti-Israel for decades, it accused Israel of apartheid last month,
and endorsed the BDS movement.” This shows that Jews will stay in a
deteriorating marriage up until the moment it begins to cost them money, at
which time they'll gladly dissolve the marriage. The article also shows that
the Jews will do nothing to try saving their marriage, preferring instead to
endure an intolerable situation than let go of habits their partners can no
longer endure.
And so, while many wonder why a country like North Korea
chose to live in a state characterized as “hermit,” they do not realize that
the rulers of North Korea did not choose that state for their country or their
people. It is that the condition was imposed on them by America in an attempt
to isolate the country for refusing to give up its desire to live the way it
wants to.
And so, it can be seen that the coerced state of North Korea
contrasts with that of the Jews who freely chose to live like hermits. They did
so, living in ghettos behind walls that were made of wood and stone during the
time that they bunched together in Europe in a sojourn that lasted several
centuries. And when the time came for them to carry on with the habit of
fleeing the place where they made a mess of their lives, they carried the
ghetto tradition with them to their new destination.
That was America. When the new continent opened to them, the
Jews moved into it in droves and chose to huddle in closely knit neighborhoods
that did not have physical walls separating them from the rest of the country.
What their leaders did, however, was erect virtual walls that continued to
separate the rank-and-file from the surrounding neighborhoods.
To that end, the leaders created Jewish specific schools,
recreation centers and media, thus forming a kind of cultural ghetto behind
whose walls they kept the flock, preventing it from interacting more than
necessary with the outside world. The leaders also discouraged the kind of
mixed marriages that did not result in some kind of windfall for the Jewish
causes.
You would think that given the developments which unfolded
over the last half century, Elliot Kaufman would get the message and urge his
fellow Jews to make an effort at harmonizing with the rest of humanity, but
you'd be wrong. Instead of doing that, Kaufman blamed the bad relation that
exists between the Jews and humanity on the latter for practicing what he says
is a double standard that disadvantages the Jews.
Elliot Kaufman traces the deterioration of the relations
between Socialist International and Israel to the effort of Bruno Kreisky who
was the Jewish Chancellor of Austria and also vice president of the
International. Kaufman adds that now, “35 of the International's member parties
are in government.” They promote the BDS movement, condemn Israel's Law of
Return and demand the immediate release of Palestinian prisoners, says Kaufman.
This should bring people of goodwill to ask if there is
anything that can be done to help the Jews integrate into the human family.
Well, whatever the ultimate plan will end up being like, it must be based on
showing the Jews examples of nobility they can absorb as if by osmosis, and
then aspire to emulate.
Since there is nothing more noble than a victim of the Jews
advising them on how to improve their performance to integrate into a human
family that has developed the highest esteem for the victim, the Jews should
consider as golden the advice that Mahmoud Abbas is giving.
Here is how Elliot Kaufman has revealed the existence of
such advice: “Mahmoud Abbas attributed the Holocaust to Jewish social
behavior”.
