It is clear that Melissa Braunstein hasn't learned that in human interactions, the artificial process is flimsy and ephemeral whereas the natural process is robust and permanent.
She wrote an article that came
under the title: “How everyday people can help Israel and support peace in the
Middle East,” published on September 21, 2020 in the Washington Examiner. She
did so, not knowing that the apparent gain achieved so far in the Middle East
–– though not measuring up to a peace deal –– is the product of a natural
process that came about despite the artificiality that exemplified the
half-century effort to impose peace of the grave on some Palestinians and peace
of the diaspora on the rest.
There is only one kind of
natural process in human interactions. It is organic, self-generating and noble
in its execution most of the time but not always. By contrast, there are two
versions of the artificial process. One version attempts to remain noble but
not always succeeding in achieving its goal. An example of that is the Egyptian
repeated effort to broker a permanent ceasefire between Gaza and Israel. The
other process is devious and ultimately self-defeating. An example of that has
been the Jewish manipulated, sham to the core, make-believe American effort to
broker a peace deal between the Palestinians and the Israelis. It was a lie
through and through from the Alpha to the Omega.
As to the organic process in
human interactions, an example of how it has worked so far, is what happened in
the Middle East when two Arab countries agreed to talk normalization with
Israel. What makes that process organic is that it came about spontaneously
because of a necessity that was not foreseen. It is that the American President
Donald Trump woke up one morning and saw that the construct of his reelection,
which he thought guaranteed his success, was now crumbling.
This motivated him to break 18
years of Israeli demonic stalling on giving a response to the Arab League's
Initiative of 2002. It was the initiative that stipulated the recognition of
Israel by all the Arab countries in return for Israel's ending the occupation
of Palestine. Donald Trump called Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel
and told him to take the Arab deal or else. Netanyahu that knows Israel cannot
survive a month without American help, had no choice but to knuckle under and
accept the Arab offer he could not now refuse or even stall any longer. It does
not get anymore organic than that.
What's happening now is that
the crowd which grew up on the artificial process and knows not a better way to
interact with people, has moved in and started to work on hijacking the
unfolding process. It hopes to steer it to the goal it could not achieve
previously, while still using the same old self-defeating artificial means to
get there. One member of this crowd is Melissa Braunstein whose article
catalogs what other members are doing to make the artificial effort bear fruit.
She also discusses her own recommendations to that end.
She began this part of her
presentation by asking the question: “What can individuals or organizations do
to further support peace in the region?” And she proceeded to discuss what's
being done already by those who just started to get involved in the process.
What she did not realize, however, is that she was exposing the artificiality
of the work done by those who came into the game with agendas of their own;
agendas that may be at odds with the aims of those aching to establish good
relations with the Arabs countries. For example, she mentioned the following:
Dov Hiking whose agenda is to
eliminate antisemitism in America.
Elder of Ziyon who recommends
the launch of US-Israel-UAE partnerships, most certainly intending to get rich
investing other peoples’ money (OPM) … this time abundant UAE petrodollars.
Roz Rothstein whose passion is
to see Israel annex the West Bank and get rid of the Palestinians, sending them
to their graves or to the diaspora.
Arsen Ostrovsky who cares more
about what peace in the Middle East will do for American security than what it
will do for the people of the Middle East, including those of Israel.
Varsha Koduvayur of the
comical outfit known as Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) who wants
to link the Israeli spy network to the Arab civil societies so as to do to the
Arabs what America's enemies are now doing to America using social media.
Hen Mazzig who wants to use
the events in the Middle East to change life on college campuses though he does
not specify which campuses.
Well my friend, you're
probably familiar with the saying that goes: “Too many cooks spoil the broth.”
How true! But at least they are cooks that have the same purpose and doing the
same thing. Now imagine what can happen with this many cooks, each having a
different recipe for preparing the same menu, and they go at it with fanatic
zeal oblivious of what the other cooks are doing. What do you think they'll
have produced come dinner time?
It doesn't get any more artificial than that.
