Is this the way to carry on with a legacy?

 It so happened that during my stay at the hospital, I had lots of time to spend on watching television. I watched Wolf Blitzer’s segment, which he said was his contribution to carrying on with the legacy that his late father started.

 

To help him accomplish his task, Blitzer teamed up with the Director of the Holocaust Memorial in Washington who took her guest and the audience on a tour around the building. We saw videoclips of the atrocities that were perpetrated by the Nazis on individuals, on communities as well as entire villages. And we saw videoclips of the predator’s industrial-scale aftermath, presented in the form of a mountain of shoes left behind by the victims.

 

Perhaps what caused young Wolf to believe that he is carrying on with his father’s legacy is that the father was interviewed and spoke a few words – so did Wolf the son – but neither adding as mush as an iota to the history of that era. And so, we are left with the question: What was accomplished?

 

The answer is that nothing good was accomplished because this is not the right way to start a legacy or carry on with one. Also, because it is a truism that what Blitzer has observed and related to his audiences, is the opposite of what would have been appropriate to do – it must be said that the Wolf father-and-son team has failed to accomplish what it seemed trying to score.

 

It is that Wolf Blitzer spoke about the rise of antisemitism, both in America and worldwide, and offered to solve the problem in the traditional Jewish way, which amounts to nothing more intelligent than whine and holler about the pain that Jews suffer from the torture of the chip on the shoulder they never seem able to get rid of.

 

This being the case, whining and hollering about a pain that lost the force to invoke empathy in others, becomes the annoying reverberation of spoiled crybabies who want something they are not entitled to. Instead of empathizing with the long-gone suffering of the Jews, the audiences resent what the latter are up to, and they reveal their state of mind by exhibiting, if not amplifying, their antisemitic attitude. In effect then, the Wolf Blitzer/Jewish solution to antisemitism is the problem they are trying to solve.

 

But why are the Jews so inept at recognizing the source of their plight? And why are they not able to solve it once and for all? Well, the sordid truth of the matter is that since birth, Jewish children are inculcated with mythologies that have only a grain of truth in them, or have none at all.

 

The most egregious mythology is the one that tells the children: acquiring a nation of their own depends entirely on murdering the children of those who used to host them, and on robbing their treasures before fleeing into the desert where God will protect them and guide them to a new home. Thus, money, money, money, and the fanatic belief that anything they do to hold on to Israel, is kosher to Jews, a dogma they never relinquish lest they abandon the mission they were created to accomplish.

 

And that’s what blinds the Jews to the possibility that other alternatives could give them what they want in addition to the peace of mind that comes with being accepted by the rest of humanity. But in the absence of Jewish leaders, such as Wolf Blitzer, rectifying the Jewish narrative to modernize it, the residue that’s left behind by the self-serving Jewish hustlers tends to make young Jews believe that the whole world is against them, and they can rely on no one who is not a Jew to protect them.

 

Living with this kind of thoughts swirling and amplifying out of control in their heads, causes young Jews to grow up with the idea that each of them is entitled to receive a compensation package due to the 6 million Jews – said to have perished during the Holocaust. This being a number that approaches infinity, the new crop of young Jews get hooked on the idea of constantly exaggerating what society owes them, having failed to help them when they needed the help that never came.

 

Needless to say that an escalation in Jewish demands leads to an escalation in the expression of antisemitism both in America and around the world. And when this happens, we get further away from solving what has come to be dubbed: the Jewish problem society is experiencing.

 

Can the problem be solved at this late stage?

 

Yes, the problem can be solved, but only if the Jewish leaders are willing to play their part. That is, they should reformulate their narrative and make it tell the story in such a way as to reject the gruesome parts that glorify coveting what belongs to others, and never recommend acquiring it by shedding their blood or the blood of others while imposing death and torture on those who seek to stop them.

 

For, this is what humanity sees when it looks at Palestine-cum-Israel, the issue that will continue to weigh heavily on the neck of the Jews now and throughout eternity.
