If you wonder why it is that after thousands of years
and hundreds of attempts throughout space and time, the Jews still haven’t
resolved their differences with any of the civilized nations established by
human beings anywhere –– there is something that may help you figure out the
unknown and wonder no more.
That something is an article that came under the
title: “Is the Jewish state asking for trouble by annexing settlements?” and the
subtitle: “A leading pro-Israel scholar sees danger ahead, yet his worries are
unpersuasive.” The article was written by Jonathan S. Tobin and printed on May
8, 2020 in the online publication, Jewish News Syndicate.
What prompted the question you see in the title of
Tobin's article, is the renewed talk of Israel continuing to outdo the criminal
conduct of Adolph Hitler by annexing still more land from the neighbors; people
who cannot defend themselves, being starved and suppressed by an America that also
supplies Israel with the weapons and finances, which it needs to infuse and
celebrate Hitler's legacy in the Middle East.
And so, a debate was sparked between those who say
annex now, and those who say hold on for the moment when conditions will have
improved, and the annexation will be safer to do. One of those who surprised
everyone by calling for restraint, is the notorious Daniel Pipes who insists on
being referred to as scholar even though he is as close to having a scholarly
mentality as a member of the Chicago street gangs. In fact, if Pipes were
living in the Middle East instead of America, he would have philosophically
represented the Jewish version of the super-fanatic Abu Masaab el Zarqawi.
But Daniel Pipes lives in America, and he said what he
said, sparking the debate that pulled Jonathan Tobin into it. Those who are
familiar with Tobin's thinking will have no trouble guessing at the outset on
which side of the debate his conclusion will fall: he'll say don't annex now or
tomorrow, annex yesterday or the day before. So then, why bother to read his
article when we already know what he’d say?
We need to read the article because it is one side of
the debate, which came in response to Daniel Pipes's side of the debate. And
when you look at the two sides simultaneously, you get a good sense of how the
Jews argue. This is important to know because in the Jewish culture as in every
culture, the approach to an argument is a revealing characteristic of that
culture.
Thus, deciphering the ins and outs of the Jewish
approach will help us understand the Jewish thinking that is clearly so much at
odds with the rest of humanity. And this will begin to answer the question as
to why the Jews have such a difficult time integrating into the human family.
Reading the article, you get to a point where Jonathan
Tobin reveals that Daniel Pipes has six reasons why the annexation should not
happen now. Tobin identifies those reasons and responds to them by repudiating
each one, and then concluding that the annexation must proceed without delay.
This being a typical Jewish debate unfolding along the principles of the
endless haggle that leads nowhere, you will be amazed but not surprised to
encounter the following:
You'll see Daniel Pipes say things that unfold along
the following reasoning: It is not a good idea to execute the heist at this
time because the crooked cop we have in our pocket is a bit uneasy about this
caper. You also have the immediate neighbors and the community at large who
will not like what we're doing. Thus, it is better to wait a while before
rushing into this thing.
And you have Jonathan Tobin responding with the
following reasoning: Don't worry about the cop's tantrum. We have him in our
pocket for a reason: to contain whatever ill-tempered scene he may stage, being
in the habit of doing it every so often ... before he cools off and purrs like
a happy cat again. As to the immediate neighbors being unhappy; this should not
worry us because the neighbors and the community at large are used to our
crapping in their front-yards. Doing it one more time will not add to the stink
that already fills their nostrils. As to the thought that we may lose friends,
I have only one thing to say about that, with friends like these who needs
enemies?
So here it is, my friend, nowhere in this Jewish
so-called debate (actually a haggle) do you see mention of the right of the
victims or the obligation of the perpetrator. The entire give-and-take has
revolved around how much the Jews can get away with, and what's the best time
to pull off a deed of the kinds that have justifiably stereotyped the Jews as
thieves, cheats, connivers, schemers, inhuman and so on and so forth.
Now you know why it has been impossible for these
characters to resolve their differences with the civilized world.
