Affirming The Action German Style


Affirmative action is usually associated with events that have unfolded throughout the centuries in America, and the policies that were enacted in response to them in the Twentieth Century. But the fact remains that affirmative action is an old concept that has worked some of the time and failed most the time.

Affirmative Action is succeeding in America because the idea behind it is easy to understand. It is that African Americans were brought to America as slaves, were kept at a disadvantage for several generations, thus robbed of the ability to compete on equal footing with the other groups. This was a crime that required a legal remedy, and the remedy was the policy of Affirmative Action by which the playing field was leveled for the African Americans to pick up enough speed as a group, and be able to run on their own two feet unhindered by the shackles of the past. Whether or not this point has been reached is debated at this time, and the debate in most part is healthy and civilized.

What is neither healthy nor civilized is what the self proclaimed Jewish organizations – collectively called World Jewry – have done with the concept of affirmative action. They exploited the idea throughout the centuries everywhere they went on the planet, and they continue to exploit it (or at least try to) despite the damage that they inflict on the human race. And what is mind blowing about this whole undertaking is that each time they launch the movement to have themselves declared eligible for some kind of affirmative action, they cite the fact that the world has rejected such attempts in the past, to demand that the world be made to accept it now.

You can see one such example in the April 3, 2013 European edition of the Wall Street Journal. It is an article written under the title: “Germany Must Have Israel's Back” and the subtitle: “Counterproductive settlement proposals, and German demographic and generational changes, risk undermining popular support for the Jewish state.” It was authored by Karl-Theodor Zu Guttenberg and Ulf Gartzke.

You can see already in the subtitle that the authors are worried not about an evil force that is trying to hurt the Jews or the Jewish state (as they call it) but about the effect of settlement proposals that the Israeli government has announced in defiance of international laws, of Security Council resolutions and of world demand that they be abandoned. The authors are also worried about the natural changes now happening to the German demography and the changing generations.

These trends, they say, risk undermining support for Israel, therefore the government must intervene, must artificially declare that Germany has Israel's back, and must do so despite the fact that Germany has already and “repeatedly declared that 'Israel's security is part of Germany's raison d'ĂȘtre' and that it can 'never be negotiable.'" What more do these people want? Can their thirst for cuddling ever be satisfied?

Well, you can answer these questions by examining what they say they fear, and how they say they want their fears to be allayed. Here is the fear: “What's missing, however, is a broader debate about what Berlin should do … Opinion polls indicate that a majority of Germans view Israel as an 'aggressive' country that 'pursues its interests without consideration for other nations'” And here is what they want: “Berlin should start thinking about how to support Israel in the wake of potential air strikes on Iran.”

What they are saying is that the German people have had it up to here with Israel. Before the situation deteriorates even more, the Government should hurry up and prepare to get involved for when an air strike is launched against Iran. The authors of the article want the German government to prepare the population psychologically, and prepare itself materially by offering Israel: “civil and military assistance ... This could be medical equipment or reconnaissance specialists ... or by shoring up the Bundeswehr's naval presence in the eastern Mediterranean. The deployment of Patriot antimissile batteries … should also be considered.”

Is that all they want? Of course not; these people are never satisfied. When they ask for something, they go all the way and keep going till the listener throws up with disgust at their gall. In fact, not only do they want Germany to prepare for the attack against Iran, they want something to happen immediately after the attack. They want this: “Berlin should immediately push for a comprehensive cease-fire to limit Iran's ability to retaliate.”

And why do they want such a thing from Berlin and not Washington? Because “Berlin shouldn't underestimate its influence … where America's credibility is strained, to put it mildly.” In other words, they sucked the blood out of America, and now that there is no more blood to suck, they are spitting the refuse that used to be America, and go after the warmer German blood. They do this despite the fact that the German people have indicated they had it up to here with Israel, and want out of this undertaking because they view Israel as aggressive and pursuing its interests without consideration even for the nations that support it.

This has been the sordid history of the Jews in America and the authors of the article wish to repeat it. Thus, in closing, they offer the following advice to the German government: “The stakes are high. Germany cannot afford to be on the wrong side of history.”

Oh yes, tell me more about it. Tell me more about your gloriously sordid history.
