If this is not a Svengali Hypnosis, what is?

When do you decide that funny isn't funny anymore because you reckon that funny has mutated and became exasperating?

Would you stop laughing if you heard a bank robber accuse the bank manager of stealing his money? Would you stop laughing if you heard a mental patient accuse the institution’s psychiatrist where he stays, of being mentally ill? Would you stop laughing if you were to read American editorials absolve the Jews of responsibility while at the same time accuse humanity of spreading Anti-Semitism?

Or would you just scream: “the hell with it,” and allow yourself to crack laughing as you read an editorial that says: “Anti-Semitism, a scourge as old as Judaism, has a thousand fathers. There have long been conspiracy canards about supposed secret and demonic powers of Jews. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a Democrat, has suggested that Israel has 'hypnotized' the world”.

In fact, those were the words that the editors of The Washington Times wrote to end the piece they authored under the title: “A reprise of an ancient evil,” which they printed in their publication on May 27, 2019. Their editorial came out one day after the editors of The New York Times had published their own piece under the title: “The Old Scourge of Anti-Semitism Rises Anew in Europe,” and the subtitle: “Jews face threats from extremists on the left and the right. A third of European Jews have considered emigrating”.

These are only two examples of the thousands which are published every year –– written mostly by Jews and printed in Jewish and non-Jewish publications, on the subject of Anti-Semitism. Read as many as you can stomach, and you'll find that not one (this is no exaggeration, not a single one) does as much as allude at the possibility that the Jews contribute as much as one iota, to their own misery. Not one iota.

Nevertheless, the editors of the Washington Times have correctly pointed out that Judaism and anti-Semitism were born at the same time. Do you know who else are born at the same time, my friend? Yes, twins are born at the same time. So there you have it, the editors that know Judaism and anti-Semitism are twins, fail to see that they were sired by the same father. Why this level of ignorance? Because the editors were Svengalied into believing –– they so stated –– that the bastard twins were sired by a thousand fathers, not one of them being a Jew.

And because the editors of America's publications have shown to be this much off the mark, you should not be surprised to learn that they spout nothing but delusional formulations that make no sense and that lead nowhere, every time they venture into discussing the phenomenon of Anti-Semitism.

Here is a sample of what the editors of the New York Times are saying:

“Half the Germans believe it is true that Jews talk too much about what happened during the Holocaust. These are the stereotypes that make anti-Semitism a pernicious form of bigotry, a conspiracy theory in which Jews spread evil in their countries through the control of capital, the media or whatever. As appalling as this should be to Europeans, they should ring a loud alarm for American leaders of conscience. Speak up when you glimpse evidence of anti-Semitism, or risk enabling the spread of this deadly virus”.

That is, the editors of the New York Times, blame the rise of anti-Semitism in Germany on the fact that half the German people discovered that the Jews talk too much about the Holocaust. And that's a disease that spread throughout Europe like a deadly virus, say the learned editors of the New York Times. To solve the problem of the Germans believing that the Jews talk too much about the Holocaust, we must “speak up” whenever we glimpse evidence of anti-Semitism, say the wise editors. Why didn't I think of that? You talk to solve the problem of someone talking too much. What a beautiful solution to an ugly problem!

And here is a sample of what the editors of the Washington Times are saying:

“A German official suggested that Jews refrain from wearing skullcaps in public. Crimes are down in that country but for one exception; attacks on Jews are rising. They were attributed to white nationalists and a growing Muslim population. The trend in Germany is duplicated across Europe. In Britain, the Labor Party has become a hotbed of anti-Semites. Alas, what starts in the old world does not stay there. Attacks on Jews have risen in the US as well. It's difficult to see how to combat this, but it must be done. It begins with sounding the alarm at the evil in our midst”.

It seems that the Washington editors have a more cryptic theory than that of the New York editors. They said that the advent of Muslims into Germany brought with it a lowering of the crime rate in that country. What happened simultaneously, however, was an increase in the number of attacks on Jews, a specialty of the white nationalists since before the advent of the Muslims.

What does it all mean? Well, the Washington editors admit they don't know what it means. But they choose to sound the alarm anyway because they figure there is evil in our midst.

And so, there remains one question to answer: How do you pull someone out of their hypnotic trance?
