When the Rapist advises the Rape Victim

The dictionary definition of rape is the sexual assault of a person by another. But human imagination and creative impulses tend to break away from the limited definition of words, and use those words to add force to the description of analogous situations. For example, when someone says he made a killing on the stock market, he doesn't say he murdered someone on the floor of the stock exchange; he means to say he scored big winnings.

Because rape is recognized by everyone as being a serious offense, people tend to use the word to describe other situations in which the victim would suffer as much as being raped or worse ... but the gravity of the offense does not seem as obvious to those who were never so victimized. One such situation would be to live under the military occupation of one's country by a foreign power.

In fact, this is what the people of Palestine are suffering at this moment, and have been for more than half a century. They are the victims, not just of the Israeli military that's maintaining the physical occupation of their country, but also victims of the American government that's financing the occupation, and arming Israel to better oppress the Palestinians under occupation.

Worse, the American government does more than finance the occupation and arm the occupier; it has allowed Jewish American gambling moguls and other businessmen to turn the occupation into an enterprising concern. This helps to attract settlers of such savage disposition as to hunt human beings like on a safari. And the way that Washington has transformed the occupation into a Jewish business, was by allowing tax advantages to businesses that spend American dollars on strengthening the Israeli rape of Palestine.

As well, the American government has allowed tax deductions to fake charitable organizations whose real work is not doing humanitarian work in Israel or elsewhere, but paying Jewish losers around the world to go settle in the occupied territories where they live and operate under the protection of the American equipped Israeli army.

One of the Jewish businessmen with a keen interest in seeing to it that the Palestinians accept the status of being permanently raped by the Jewish occupation of their country, is Daniel J. Arbess who describes himself as being CEO of Xerion Investments and co-founder of No Labels. He writes on the subject of his interest from time to time, and did so on August 15, 2018 when the Wall Street Journal published a piece he authored under the title: “Advice for a Palestinian 'Icon'” and the subtitle: “Ahed Tamimi, 17, and her peers shouldn't be content as the next generation of cannon fodder”.

So here you have a situation in which the Palestinians are being raped by the occupation while a sponsor of that occupation is telling a young victim that refuses to accept her lot, she is being used as fodder by someone. In effect, this Jew is advising the victim and her peers to lie back and enjoy the rape. Think about it, my friend, if that's what this guy is saying publicly to the victim, imagine what he could be saying privately to the brainless creatures that were elected and/or appointed to run the American government. They are the ones that allow their country to be used comprehensively in the commission of an ongoing crime deemed to be worse than rape.

Here is Arbess telling how the story began, and here is the advice he is giving to the Palestinian Icon, Ahed Tamimi and to her peers:

“Israel released 17-year-old Ahed Tamimi after she spent eight months in prison for assaulting [slapping] an Israeli soldier. She met with the president of the Palestinian Authority who lionized her, and others hailed her as an Icon of Palestine. Before her release, Israel had enacted a law reaffirming that Israel is the national home of Jews. Will the Palestinians finally accept Israel as the homeland of Jews and help fashion Israel's democracy? They will need to move on from the past and accept the present”.

It takes chutzpah to adopt a position such as this. It reminds me of an old saying that fell out of favor at a time when the Jews had such a grip on the culture, people were afraid to exercise their right to speak freely. The saying used to go like this: What is chutzpah? It is the fuel that powers the train taking Jews to the gas chamber.

It is people like Daniel J. Arbess that will make the train run again.
