Because, to a large extent, a culture is based on the language it
uses, it is at times possible to look at a single word, and through it explain
the difference in the attitude of different cultures towards the same issue.
The word “redeem” in the title of this discussion is one such
word. It is possible to understand the difference between the stance of the
Continental Europeans in general, and that of the Americans toward the
Palestinian issue by parsing what is conjured up by that word.
When an American hears that word, he thinks of “fixing” something
that may or may not have been good in the first place, but can be improved on.
Thus, an average American that looks at the title of this discussion, will think
that America is called upon to fix a situation it had nothing to do with up to
now.
But look what happens when you translate the word redeem into
French. This is what you get: “racheter.” What does that word mean to a French
audience? Actually, it means a great deal. The word is made of a prefix (re)
which indicates a redo, and the verb (acheter) which means to buy. When you put
them together, you get “reacheter,” but because you have two vowels back to
back, –– which sounds bad in French –– the “e” of the prefix is dropped, and
you're left with “racheter,” which means to buy back.
And so, whereas an American will think: “Here we go again, America
is asked to fix something it did not break,” a Frenchman or any Continental
European will think: “Finally, someone is calling on America to buy back
whatever it sold in the first place.” But what could America have sold with
regard to the Palestinian issue? There is only one thing that America could
have sold: its own soul, no less.
But what's this all about? It's about the American President
Donald Trump inviting, to the White House, Benjamin Netanyahu that may no
longer be Prime Minister of Israel in a few weeks-time, and Benny Gantz that
may replace him. Rumors are to the effect that Trump will tell the two Israelis
what he has in mind with regard to the American armed and financed Israeli
occupation of Palestine.
And so, whereas most Europeans and the rest of the world, hope
that America will do the right thing this time and buy back the soul it sold to
the Jews for the benefit of a handful of political rascals –– very little will
change in America. That's because as much as half the people will continue to
think and feel in terms of what the Jewish inspired media will tell them to
think and feel.
You can see how all of this works out when you read the article
that came under the title: “The White House Peace Plan Meeting: U.S. Goals,
Israeli Repercussions,” written by David Mokovsky, and published on January 24,
2020 on the website of the Washington Institute. The following is a condensed
version of how Makovsky sees this whole matter:
“Some argue that Netanyahu and Trump are prioritizing their
potential electoral advantages even if it threatens the viability of a
negotiated two-state solution. The administration may be counting on the PA to
reject the plan outright. This could give Israel freedom of action to annex
areas such as the Jordan Valley. Amman has reportedly threatened to suspend its
peace treaty with Israel if Netanyahu annexes the Jordan Valley. The meeting
may constrain Gantz politically. It may favor Netanyahu, allowing him to divert
attention from the immunity issue and broader legal troubles. Netanyahu may
also use the peace plan as a catalyst to apply Israeli law to the Jordan Valley
or annex it outright. Netanyahu will use the media attention to claim that he
brought the peace plan close to his vision”.
So there you have it my dear reader. The Tweedledee and Tweedledum
of the so-called democracies are again scratching each other's back at the
expense of the people they are supposed to serve and care for.
You'll see one Tweedle basically say to the other: You deliver for
me my own country's Evangelical prostitutes who believe there is salvation in
kissing your rear end from before they have breakfast in the morning till after
they have supper at night.
You'll see the other Tweedle basically respond: And you deliver
for me my own cannibalistic war criminals who use your donated money and
weapons to ethnic cleanse those whom you keep permanently disarmed so as to
maintain them in a weak and helpless state.
