There is the saying: Human Rights for me but not for thee. It is used to indicate the selfish ascription of rights to the self while denying it to others. It also happens that the principle is often flipped, resulting in the ascription of wrongdoing to others but not the self. This condition may be put succinctly as follows: “Genocide by thee but not by me”.
If you want
to see an example of this that’s so glaring it will pierce your eyes, read the
article that came under the title: “South Africa and other antisemitic
genocidaires accuse Israel of genocide,” and the subtitle: “Blood libel in The
Hague.” It was written by Clifford D. May, and published on January 16, 2023 in
The Washington Times. It is where the author accuses others of the sins they
may or may not have committed while ignoring those committed by the group he is
protecting.
But in
choosing the title that he did, Clifford May does not realize that he reminds
the readers of the old saying: “It takes a thief to catch a thief.” Yes, it
would take a genocidaire to recognize and point the finger at a genocidaire,
but that does not mean South Africa is in the same boat as Israel. The fact is
that South Africa has rejected its sordid past, choosing instead to adopt a
civilized way of life.
By
contrast, the Jews who stole Palestine and renamed it Israel, are now engaging
in the genocide of the Palestinian people because – like it was said to Golda
Meir in her face, and she never objected – the Jews want Palestine without the
Palestinian people, which is an extreme form of genocide that has never been
the case in the White South Africa of an earlier era.
The
following is how Clifford May makes the case he has tried to sell to the world,
but has been rejected by the world to his profound chagrin, time after time
after time.
May’s
words: Israel was founded
in part of the ancient Jewish homeland that for centuries had been under
foreign imperialist rule. It is the only state in the world where Jews
constitute a majority.
Commentary: The truth is that the imperialists were the Jews who first massacred the
babies of Egypt, looted the country and ran looking for more victims to kill
and rob. They found them in Palestine – known at the time as the Land of Milk
and Honey – and engaged these helpless people in the merciless battles of Jerusalem, Ephraim, Ai, Gibeon,
Jericho, Megiddo, Gideon, Midianites and Jebus.
The fact is
that Palestine is now occupied by a majority of Jewish settlers who were paid
and armed by the new imperialists of the world, to come and replace the
indigenous Palestinians that have been in place since the beginning of time.
This, in itself, is proof that the Jewish genocide of Palestinians has been
happening, and continues to happen unabated.
And here is
how Clifford May justifies the unjustifiable:
May’s words: Hamas is a client of Iran, whose rulers have been
threatening and inciting genocide against Israel for 45 years. Under the
Genocide Convention, doing so is “a crime in and of itself,” as often noted by Irwin
Cotler.
Commentary: Perhaps Clifford May was never
informed who Irwin Cotler may be. The reality is that he and Alan Dershowitz do
not form “Two Peas in a pod.” Rather, they form two clowns in the Human Rights
circus. Let me tell you how I know that:
There was a
time when the Wall Street Journal would let the readers access its content
without having to pay for the privilege. I took advantage of that privilege as long
as it lasted, and told the truth as I knew it regarding the issues of the day.
At some
point during that time, the two clowns, who did not like my opinions, teamed up
and co-authored an article they thought will corner me in such a way as to force
me shooting myself in the foot, after which they hoped they could institute
legal action and have me silenced for good.
Needless to
say I considered the idea so juvenile, I did not bother replying to their sneaky
invitation.
Make what you will of this.
