When a problem presents you with ten
possible alternatives for a solution, nine of them being reasonable on the face
of it, and one alternative being plainly wrong as demonstrated by thousands of
years of failures, you do not choose the wrong alternative if what you want is
the resolution of the problem.
What you do as head of an institution in
such a case, is test the nine alternatives –– one at a time –– and see what
result each will yield. When done with all of them, you pick the one that gave
the best result, and include it in the standing policy of your institution.
But if you're an observer and not the head
of an institution; if you choose to be a student of the human condition; and if
you see the once powerful institution stoop so low as to choose, or even
advocate a solution that was proven to be wrong time after time for thousands
of years, you wonder what's going on inside the head of the executives who run
that institution. And so, you respond by getting to work on deciphering what
may have motivated these people.
In real life, the institution in question
is The Washington Post. The choice that the editors of the publication made,
relates to the subject of Jewish behavior, and humanity's response to it. The
editors expressed their thoughts in black and white, and published them in the
form of an editorial under the title: “The Germany Yom Kippur attack shows it
is past time to focus on the enemy within,” and they printed their piece on
October 10, 2019 in The Washington Post, of course.
Here is the event––presented in condensed
form––that the editors of The Washington Post are using as vehicle to carry
their thoughts:
“The attack came in Halle, Germany,
against a synagogue. A 27-year-old German man shot two innocent people to
death. What's important is the intent, and the aim that the deaths were
supposed to serve. The evidence speaks of a connection, at least ideological,
between the radical in Halle and others who carried out mass murder at a
synagogue in Pittsburgh. According to the perpetrator, the white race is in
peril, and the root of all the problems is the Jew: 'If I fail and die but kill
a single Jew, it was worth it. After all, if every White Man kills one Jew, we win,'
he said. Germany's politicians responded with denunciations of the crime in
Halle and the mindset behind it. What remains for them and us to do, is match
words with deeds”.
This boils down to the editors of The
Washington Post making the claim that White terrorists have declared war on
society, and that the way to counter them is to reciprocate. That is, they want
to fight fire with fire. That seems to be their inclination because they
contend that it's not enough to just denounce the deeds of the terrorists; they
want to see those deeds countered by society's own deeds. But everyone sane
knows that if this happens, we'll get embroiled in a civil war whose
consequences can only be far reaching. So, the question that begs for an answer
is this: Can we, as a civilized society, countenance such an outcome?
The answer is no, we cannot do that,
especially that we can't even determine to what extreme the civil war will
grow, or to what horizon it will spread. For these reasons and a few more, we
must reject this alternative and consider the other more reasonable ones. We
pick one of them, and make every effort we can muster, to reach a resolution
that will be durable and satisfy all the sides in the dispute.
From the information that's available ––
and there is plenty of it already –– the core of the problem is that the Jews
want to be given special status in society. It'll be a status that will give
them privileges no one else has, or will ever have. The Jewish leaders claim
that this is necessary because the Jews have been singled out for hatred since
the beginning of time.
But the critics of the idea contend that
whenever the Jews got into a community for the first time, they were treated
like everyone else. It's only when they started to act like they had special
privileges that society pushed back. Instead of taking the rebuff as a hint and
back off, the Jews doubled down on their bad behavior. Society pushed back
harder, and things escalated from this point forward. Time after time, this
kind of tussle led to a tragedy such as a pogrom or a holocaust. And this has
been the cycle that repeated itself countless times since the Jews developed
the culture by which they continue to be guided.
