Boy have I got an idea for a movie script! It is the story
of a town that gets invaded by a bunch of outlaws. The cavalry comes to the
rescue but stops at the gates of the town instead of going in and confront the evildoers.
No one knows why the chief of the cavalry has so decided at a time when the
outlaws are looting the place, raping everyone and murdering those who stand in
their way.
No one inside the town or outside of it is buying the
argument put forth by the cavalry to the effect that it is better to negotiate
with the outlaws than to confront them. On the contrary, many believe in the
rumor which says that the chief is in cahoots with the outlaws, but they cannot
explain why this is so or how the relationship works. All they know is that the
chief has allowed food and water to be brought to the town – supposedly to keep
the population in good condition. But the move also serves to keep the outlaws
in good condition, and some people are uneasy about that.
Well, my friend, you must be thinking this is a metaphor I
created to analogize a real situation, and you would be correct. The town of my
story represents Palestine, the outlaws represent those who call themselves
Israelis or Jews or Zionists, and the cavalry represents the bipartisan
politico-journalistic establishment of America.
Here is a revelation: The muse that got me to think up that
story came to me in two steps.
The first step was the time that I was reading about Israel
boycotting the Human Rights Council of the United Nations whose job is to
conduct a “Universal Periodic Review” of the human rights condition in all
countries. The Council wanted to review the Israeli policy of looting
Palestinian lands on which it built Jewish settlements. The policy resulted in
the violation of Palestinian human rights, and the Council wanted to ask a few
questions but the Israelis did not show up for the meeting this time even
though they did on all previous occasions.
The second step of the muse's work happened when I was
reading Reuel Marc Gerecht's article in the January 30, 2013 edition of the
Wall Street Journal. It came under the title: “Israel's New Islamist
Neighborhood” and the subtitle: “If Western history is any guide, the growth of
democracy slowly diminishes religious imperatives.” It is a rant that is so
rambling and so meandering, it shows that the author is not trying to impress
the people of the neighborhood he is talking about but trying to impress the
bipartisan politico-journalistic establishment of America that nurtures the
ongoing horrendous situation in Palestine and maintains it at a great cost to
the country's credibility.
Gerecht begins the article this way: “Israel last week held
… elections, and many … are interpreting the results as a triumph for moderates
that means new hope for the … peace process.” And he ends it this way: “It is
conceivable that Israelis, Arabs and Iranians will finally find a modus vivendi
based on something more profound than land-for-peace.” In other words, he is
saying forget about the peace process, forget about the outlaws returning the
loot they hauled, and forget about them ending the pillage and the rape. The
outlaws need not change, says Gerecht, what needs to happen is for the town to
adapt to them and learn to accommodate their whims now and in the future.
If we take the performance of these types in America as a
guide, we conclude that they will not stop escalating their demands even after
they turn the place into a giant whorehouse full of male and female bimbos, all
biting each other in the back, and vying to become the preferred male or female
hooker of the Jewish master. This is the reality of the bipartisan
politico-journalistic establishment of America today, and the Jews are viewing
it as a model to duplicate everywhere else in the world.
But no, the history of the Middle East is not unfolding
along a similar line. It is unfolding as it must, and will continue to do so
whether Israel is there or it is not. The history of the Middle East is the telling
of the human condition with all its sorrows and all its triumphs. Invaders have
come and gone throughout history in that part of the world more than they did
anywhere else. But guess what, my friend; the Middle East has remained true to
itself throughout; always triumphant and always human.
What is wrong with the current invaders is that they are the
most destructive recidivist outlaws in history. They never cease to see
themselves as being at the center of history, and they perennially come to
think that the world revolves around them. They keep thinking that way till
they discover otherwise; till they discover that the moment the world notices
them is the moment it wants to do away with them, and usually does.
In fact, this scenario has repeated itself so many times,
the world no longer considers it to be a noteworthy part of the human
condition. It views it as something that happens because it must happen –
nothing more serious than that; nothing to get excited about.
The outlaws can change all that by adapting to the world but
they will not do so because they want the world to adapt to them. They have
achieved this much in America, and they believe they can duplicate the feat
everywhere else in the world – using American power if they must.
What they fail to see is that this is a recipe that will not
change the world but will ruin America and take them down with it.
It happened this way many times before, and will happen this
way again unless America wakes up and says enough is enough.
