Once again, I find myself compelled to rely on a fable by Jean de
La Fontaine to add clarity to what I'm saying. This time, I borrow from the
story of the frog that was impressed by the size of an ox, the little thing
kept blowing itself with air in the hope of getting as big as the ox. What
happened instead was that the frog blew itself into smithereens.
The actual story the parallel analogizes, is that of a group of
people calling themselves Jews who made a mess of their lives throughout the
centuries everywhere they went to settle and make a home for themselves. After
an episode that was unusually violent, humanity took pity on the Jews and gave
them an enclave that was never meant to be a nation. As it happened, however,
the enclave was situated inside the ancient nation of Palestine, as it was then
occupied by the Brits that had taken over from the Ottoman occupation.
Despite the fact that the Jews are legally entitled to only the
small enclave they were given, they developed expansionary dreams that inflated
them from the size of the proverbial frog to that of the ox. To realize their
dream, the Jewish leaders brought to bear the techniques they had accumulated
throughout the centuries, and used them to deceive, cajole, bribe and blackmail
any sucker who would succumb to their trickery. And the Jews made the suckers
do the dirty work for them.
Eventually the suckers realized what was happening and broke free
of the Jewish grip, one after the other. Now that the Jews find themselves left
with only a few options, they were prompted to do the proverbial “Hail Mary,”
which consists of working to convince others that Israel is the ox that should
get everything, whereas the Palestinians should know there never was a
Palestinian state even if there has been a Palestinian nation since the
beginning of time.
Time after time, you see a torrent of articles written by the
Jewish pundits of the writing mob as they try to perpetuate the lie that
everybody in the world is lying, but that the Jews are telling the truth. You
can see an example of that in the article which came under the title: “North
Jersey Paper Aims at Israel –– and misses,” written by Sean Durns and published
on July 2, 2020 in the Jewish online publication, Algemeiner.
What follows is how Sean Durns made the case that Israel “Is”,
whereas Palestine “Is not”:
“When it comes to the Israel-Islamist conflict, the North Jersey
Record isn't bothering with facts. The newspaper's recent report offers a
masterclass in distortions and omissions. The report is so problematic and
biased it's hard to know where to begin. The NJ Record reported that 200 people
gathered outside City Hall where they raised the Palestinian flag and protested
that Israel's plan to annex swaths of the West Bank would suffocate
Palestinians and scuttle any remaining chance for peace. The NJ Record claims
that annexation happens when a country declares that land outside its borders
is part of its own state. Nearly every word in this paragraph is inaccurate. As
Eugene Kontorovich has noted, Annexation in international law means taking the
territory of a foreign sovereign country. And neither the Jordan Valley nor the
West Bank belongs to a foreign sovereign country. In fact, no sovereign
Palestinian Arab state has ever existed”.
As can be seen, the problem that people such as Sean Durns face,
is that they begin with the reasoning that was put out by Kontorovich, and find
themselves led astray into the land of nonsense. Let me give you an example of
that man's handicap. In law as in everything else, not every organization has
rights everywhere. For example, only 5 countries have the right of permanence
and veto in the Security Council of the UN; everyone else is denied that right.
Likewise, every country has some rights, but is denied other rights. This
includes Israel as well as Palestine. But whereas organizations are denied some
things, people are never denied their human rights, which is where Kontorovich
is totally blinded.
For example, because Palestine has not been recognized as a state
by the Security Council, it cannot bring a case to the Council, and must ask
another country to do it in its lieu. Kontorovich applies this principle where
it does not apply. He says that because Israel and the Jews have been
successful at denying statehood to the Palestinian people, the Palestinians
lost the human right to own the homes, properties and lands that have been
theirs for thousands of years. And so, the Kontorovitch logic has it that the
situation gives every Jew, the right to go to Palestine and help himself with
anything that tickles his fancy.
To argue this nonsense and make it sound believable, Sean Durns
has done what the mob of Jewish pundits always does, which is to pretend talking
about the Palestinians, but talk instead about every Arab and Muslim country
that comes to mind.
And what the Jews say is no less asinine than the thief who tells
the judge he must find him not guilty because he kicked his neighbor out of his
house only after he heard that someone in Transylvania was eating bananas grown
in Singapore on Wednesdays. And he cannot understand why people do not see the
merit of his argument.
