Here is why the Jewish misery remains eternal

 Does David Harsanyi wish to put an end to the eternal predicament of what he calls antisemitism or does he want to use the manifestation of the phenomenon as excuse to fulfill a hidden agenda? This is the question that’s legitimate to pose to David Harsanyi and to other prominent Jews who exhibit tendencies that can be truly perplexing.

 

You get to see this much when you parse the article that Harsanyi wrote under the title: “Jews Can’t let the U.S. Turn into Europe,” published on May 27, 2021 in National Review Online.

 

You get an inkling of what Harsnyi’s preferences are by the time you’re finished reading the first paragraph. In it, he tells the story of the New York governor who sent extra patrols to Jewish neighborhoods where there had been attacks on Jews. Harsanyi made clear he liked the idea very much, but would also have liked to see big write-ups in newspapers about the anti-Jewish incidents, and see fanfare done about them on television. He expressed the depth of disappointment that this did not happen with these words: “I had initially missed the story since anti-Jewish attacks weren’t the work of white supremacist, and did not garner widespread attention”.

 

But why desire the publicity that may attract copycats, and put America on a European trajectory, which he says would be a tragedy? Well, he did not have to answer this question in a straightforward and honest manner because his Freudian subconscious let the cat out of the bag without his rational mind realizing it. Here is how the thing unfolded: “The kinds of lies and smears now being normalized and spread by progressives on the floor of Congress have manifested in harassment and violence against Jews.” In other words, he wants to see things escalate to the level of tragedy he can moan about till his entrails blow out of his belly.

 

But how does he know the situation will so deteriorate in America, it will resemble that of Europe? He knows because he sees a common element between the two situations. It is the Progressive movement. Here is how Harsanyi put it: “Much like American progressives, the European Union helps fuel this animosity by singling out the Jewish state for endless and nearly exclusive reprimand, while at the same time ignoring the atrocities around the world”.

 

So, that’s his hidden agenda. He wants a reason to blow his entrails out, pretending he is hurting in America because the progressives are criticizing Israel, which he calls the Jewish state. And so, he seems to propose a fair exchange. He wants the criticism of Israel to stop in exchange for him keeping his entrails safe and intact inside his belly. There will be no more howling about singling Israel, he seems to promises.

 

But he cannot be optimistic that any of this will happen, he says, because those in America on whom he was counting, are behaving the same way as their counterparts in Europe. That is, they all abdicated their obligations, which were to push back against the current trend. Instead of doing this, he explained, the cowards are going after the nemesis of the progressives: The brave rightwing dudes such as Tucker Carlson and others like him. But worst of all, he believes that the progressives unfairly blamed Donald Trump for the anti-Semitic attacks that took place, having been remarkably weak on anti-Semitism, thus endangering Jews and making them feel less safe, the way that he sees things.

 

And so, if you my friend, are looking for clues as to how David Harsanyi proposes to end anti-Semitism, there was the early mention of the New York governor sending patrols to Jewish neighborhoods where they protected Jews from attacks. But by the time he had reached the end of the article, he felt that this was not enough. And so, he expressed preference for what he saw happen in France, and seemed to advocate that something similar should be instituted on a permanent basis in America. Here is how he said it:

 

“In France, the government sent ten-thousand troops across the country to guard hundreds of Jewish sites. French soldiers patrol streets to protect Jews from anti-Zionist violence. For the average Jew, the situation in Europe is worse now than perhaps any time since World War II. We are nowhere close to it. But we’re certainly headed in the wrong direction”.

 

Ordinarily, when reading something like this, you would recoil because David Harsanyi emphasized that the situation in Europe had deteriorated to the point that it is now worse than it ever was since World War II. But in the same breath, he seemed to advocate emulating the French government, which sent troops to protect hundreds of Jewish sites. Does that not mean Harsanyi wants to see the European deterioration come to America so that troops will be sent to protect Jewish sites?

 

Yes, this could well be his desire. After all, he would have liked to see big write-ups in newspapers about the anti-Jewish incidents, as well as fanfare done about them on television.

 

That’s what he wants because it would make him the center of attention where he will be given the opportunity to flex his powers, thus become a leader and be well remunerated for doing what he likes best: work in America and get paid in American dollars protecting and glorifying Israel.

 

This is heaven for David Harsanyi and many like him.
