Let's mull over a simple concept. You're a
young person (male or female) and you're walking with your father in the street
of a big city somewhere on the west coast of the North American continent. You
bump into an officer, and instantly his face as well as that of your father
light up joyfully. The two greet each other with words like: how are you? Long
time no see. What are you doing here?
Your father tells you that you owe your
existence to this officer. He explains that twenty years ago, both used to live
on the east coast. Your father was involved in a car accident that caught fire.
The officer pulled him out of the car moments before it exploded. Had he died,
he would not have moved to the west coast where he met your mother, married her
and conceived you. Thus, you owe your very existence to that officer.
Years go by, you complete your education
and find a job in a place where you meet someone that says she was badly treated
by the police, the reason why she is organizing a protest march against them,
and she wants you to join the march. You say no, you will not join the march
because you owe your existence to the police. And then it occurs to you that
this same colleague of yours once said she was helped by the police in some
fashion. So, you wonder why she wants to protest against them now.
You ask her that question, and she says
yes, there was a time when she was in a tough situation as a child but was
taken to a safe place by her folks. Only then did the police take her to
another place described as a nirvana of sort. But far from being a nirvana, the
place turned out to be less than that. It's a place, she says, where she was
made to suffer not because of what she did, but because of who she was. And
everyone that was like her, was made to suffer as well. And so, she decided to
dedicate her life to changing the conditions in that place. She decided to make
it look –– as much as it is humanly possible –– like the nirvana she had
imagined when she was a child.
This, my friend, is the story of the Jews
in America who call themselves children of Holocaust survivors. They would not
exist were it not for the American soldiers that rescued their forefathers from
certain death. It is also the story of Ilhan Omar who was taken to a safe place
in Kenya before going to America where she discovered that she, and many like
her, were treated as a lesser breed of humans.
So, the question: Who should be more
grateful for being in America? Should it be Ilhan Omar or should it be the Jews
who call themselves children of Holocaust survivors?
Any sane person will tell you there is no
contest here. If Ilhan Omar owes America as much gratitude as a grain of sand,
the Jews owe America as much as a mountain of gratitude. But the debate about
gratitude rages on in America as can be seen in the article that came under the
title: “On Gratitude and Immigration,” written by Charles C.W. Cooke, and
published on July 15, 2019 in National Review Online.
So, we're curious as to what Ilhan Omar is
doing now, and what the Jews are doing.
Well, Ilhan Omar points out that America
was once the nirvana that was described to her when she was a child. It isn't
anymore. But she is determined to do all she can to restore the country she
loves to its rightful place, having been disappointed by its degradation. And
while she's at it, Ilhan Omar will continue to speak truth to power, especially
when it comes to unmasking those who have sabotaged America's noble precepts to
gain the power which they now use to silence her and sabotage her efforts.
As to the Jews who call themselves
children of Holocaust survivors and those who don't, they continue to work
stealthily and relentlessly, gnawing like termites at the foundation on which
America built the splendor it used to enjoy in times past. Hence the clash
between Ilhan Omar, the master restorer, and the Jews that have been master
destroyers since their beginning thousands of years ago and have not changed
one iota.
What’s real; what’s fiction in all of this?
Consider the fictitious story that was
told at the start of this discussion a metaphor meant to illustrate the
attitude of real people like Ilhan Omar and the attitude of real people like
the Jews.
Also, consider as real, the struggle that
good people like Ilhan Omar face every day when they come in the crosshairs of
the Jews who want them to toe the Jewish line, but the people refuse.
