If you think that toy stories are told
only by writers of children's books, think again. You'll find that toy stories
are also told in real life by adults who treat other adults like toddlers.
Imagine yourself a teenager that grew up
having very few toys to play with, now seeing the neighbor's toddler surrounded
with enough toys to fill a basement, and still have more toys to keep in the
garage. You inspect the collection and see remote controlled cars and flying
saucers, puzzles and board games, electric trains and robots, as well as enough
Lego sets to build a city ... and much more.
You allow your imagination to run wild,
thinking of the empire that you could build using a fraction of these toys. So,
you decide you must get your hands on some of them. You think up a story you
can tell the toddler; one that will convince him to let you take what you need
and not tell his parents. What do you tell the child?
You tell the child that the world is full
of bad people who steal toys from children. This is why he should let you take
some of them to hide in your house. The toddler accepts your story and lets you
take as much as you want. But you, dear reader, are now asking: Who are the adults
that play this sort of child game?
The answer to that question can be found
in an article that came under the title: “Prevent Iran from creating more
Hezbollahs across the Middle East,” and the subtitle: “Escalating tensions with
Iran should be a warning that Tehran's strategy of training and arming proxy
terror groups throughout the Middle East is not being countered aggressively
enough.” The article was written by the retired Israeli Major General Yaakov
Amidror, and published on September 27, 2019 on the website of Jewish News
Service.
In this analogy, Yaakov Amidror represents
the effort that the Judeo-Israeli ‘sucker-America-machine’ has been doing for
half a century to acquire all that it could from America to work on realizing
the ancient Jewish dream of building an empire that will serve as a prelude to
the arrival of the messiah who is thought will hand the Jews the ownership deed
to the planet and all its content.
Looking back at what was accomplished
after half a century of diligent labor, it appears that the machine has managed
to sucker America alright, but otherwise failed to accomplish any of what it
set out to do. On the contrary, the machine's effort has only served to make
matters worse for Israel and the other Jewish causes.
The reason is that, conditioned by their
culture to start something and not think of the consequences of their action,
the Jews poked the ribs of their neighbors as if the neighbors were inert
punching bags that will not move to protect themselves. But the neighbors did
move, and they built a war machine of their own that now deters Israel despite
all the war toys that America has been lavishing on the pompous little thing.
Here is how the retired Israeli Major
General has described that situation: “Hezbollah has grown in manpower and
firepower to the extent that Israel is careful not to attack it inside of
Lebanon. Today, there is mutual deterrence, which is a strategic accomplishment
for Hezbollah.” All of which means that whatever war-making toys Israel has acquired
from the American toddler, they proved to be useless. This being the reality of
the situation, what can the Judeo-Israeli machine do now –– if not to build the
empire of the ancient Jewish dream, now conceded as a lost cause –– at least to
prevent Israel from being crushed decisively?
To answer that question, here is what
Yaakov Amidror came up with: “Iran's military buildup in Lebanon is far
advanced. World powers should take heed. What Iran has accomplished in Lebanon
with Hezbollah offers a vision of the future. The same thing will happen in
other parts of the region if the international community fails to stop Iran's
development of proxy militaries across the Middle East”.
Will that work? Well, it all depends on
how the international community will respond to that appeal. If pressured by
America to do what Israel has been doing, the Israeli failures will only be
compounded, and the world will be facing an even bigger mess. Here is why this
will happen in the words of Amidror: “The Israeli Air Force has carried out
hundreds of airstrikes on Iranian-backed targets in recent years. [Despite all
this] Hezbollah now holds a diverse arsenal of weaponry of a quantity and
quality befitting a modern army.” The obvious conclusion is that more air strikes
will do nothing to deter Iran or those it is backing.
