The Stone And The Glasshouse

Palestine will forever be known as the stone that began the process to bring down the glasshouse of Zion. It happened because those who live in the house have been throwing stones at everyone else and no one dared to respond until Palestine came along and said enough of this nonsense, then proceeded to shatter the glasshouse.

The nonsense is to the effect that the Israeli-Zionist Lobby, which owns the glasshouse and lives in it, was able thus far to hide the content of a house whose walls are made of mirrors and whose rooms are filled with smoke blowers and hot air generators, with double-talk and theatrical pieces. These are the props and the scripts that allow the house dwellers to act out the cry of a victim even as they victimize their Palestinian neighbors. Aimed at securing a gush of American aid to Israel whether or not the aid is needed, the scheme has worked well in the sense that the Lobby was able to siphon off massive loads of treasure from the American treasury.

How all this was accomplished is encapsulated in this one sentence: "I command you not to believe that I am in command here." This is what the Israeli-Zionist Lobby says to those who dare to point out that the Lobby has gathered enough power to block any venue where the lobby’s power may be discussed and perhaps challenged. Thus, no system of checks and balances was ever developed to contain the Lobby whose power then grew to become absolute, a power that is now utilized to persecute and to crush those who challenge the Lobby’s activities.

And persecution is what happened to John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt not long ago when they were blocked on a few occasions from discussing a book they wrote under the title: The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy. What these Americans say in their book is that the Lobby has become so powerful, it practically commands US foreign policy, a situation that cannot be healthy for America or Israel. The response of the Lobby was such that it proved to be not only in command of US foreign policy but also in charge of guarding the right to free speech, a right that the Lobby hands out exclusively to its supporters. Free speech used to be a right that belonged to all Americans by virtue of the First Amendment of the Constitution but is now monopolized by the Zionists who use it to buy friends and recruit followers.

This insanity was not invented yesterday. Its roots go back thousands of years to the Book of Esther when the Jews considered the Amalekites the enemy that must be wiped off the face of the Earth. Not only this but the Jews were also told: the Amalekite men and women, their babies and youngsters, their oxen and sheep must not be talked about in public so as not to utter the word Amalekite during a conversation.

This must have been the first act of censorship and blacklisting ever commanded by someone and observed by their followers. But that is not the end of the matter because later, there came throughout the Talmud that the Arabs were the descendants of the Amalekites and they must be treated in the prescribed manner. Later still, the rabbis added to the blacklist and the hate list, the gentile men and women that the rabbis would designate as enemies of the day, and those Jews who question the wisdom of the Zionist movement.

As to the methods by which you kill the enemy, ways are suggested on how to provoke a war during which you kill if you can or get someone to kill for you. But if for one reason or another you cannot secure the death of an enemy, you assassinate their character and thus destroy their life just the same. You do this by unleashing a secret campaign of whispers against them, and when they become aware of what you are doing, you blacklist them and then ban them from the public arena lest they unmask you and put an end to your activities. These are the ancient instructions that the Israeli-Zionist Lobby is enforcing in this Twenty First Century.

However, it was not long ago that some Jews were criticized by gentiles and Jews alike such as Woody Allen for engaging in the production and dissemination of pornographic material. The response of the pornographers was that such criticism constituted a form of censorship. They defended their activities by pointing out that the Nazis "burned" the books they did not like, an act that ultimately led to the Holocaust and the extermination of million of Jews. Yet, not one howl, one hiss or one murmur came from the Israeli-Zionist Lobby to denounce this sort of talk or to dissociate themselves from a notion that places the right of Jews not to be exterminated on the same level as the right of someone to peddle pornography.

And now, it is this same Lobby which is "burning" the books of those Jews and gentiles who conclude that America has given too much to Israel already, and that the giving is hurting the American people more than it does Israel any good. And this is so, they explain, because the return to Israel is being diminished by the fact that a handful of Palestinian youngsters armed with no more than a stone or two are able to stand up to the best weapon systems that the American military industrial complex can produce.

The point was made repeatedly by writers, psychologists and thinkers of the past that the victims of a horrible event are the most likely to engage in the sort of behavior from which they suffered themselves. If this is what the Israeli-Zionist Lobby represents today, we must recognize it as such, call it a disease that is an extension of the Nazi disease and handle it with care. We must do this or people will conclude as they are beginning to do so now that Zionism and Nazism are but the two sides of the same coin. Left unattended, this situation may well deteriorate to the point where people will want to deal with Zionism in the most careless of manners as if Hitler had come back to life. And the result will not be a pretty thing to watch.
In any case, the Palestinian youngsters who stood up to the Israeli tanks will forever be remembered as the little Davids who defeated not only the Israelis but also the mighty American Goliath considering how much Goliath has nurtured Israel. With or without a statue to honor them, the Palestinian youngsters already stand tall, and they stand on the highest pedestal of all in the hearts and the minds of millions of people the World over.

And to think that the Palestinians have achieved this level of success despite the fact that the American media almost entirety observed the command to ban and to blacklist everything Arab is to look at a miracle in the face. To paraphrase the Book of Ester, their men and women, their babies and youngsters, their oxen and sheep were not talked about in public so as not to utter the word Arab on the air except in a derogatory manner. But the Palestinian cause was so powerful and so far reaching, it transcended the apathy of those whose mandate is to fight apathy but chose instead to bury their heads in the sand for fear of the Israeli-Zionist Lobby.
What a sick and sickening situation this was! What a house of horror the Zionist glasshouse turned out to be! And what a relief to know that a stone or two in the hand of a child can end a horror story that has been in the making for thousands of years! There is hope for mankind yet, and the children of Palestine are it.
