To complain about a Jew who makes a racist comment is like
complaining about a dwarf who threatens to beat a sumo wrestler to a pulp; you
take it like a joke and move on. Well, that's what you do unless the activities
of the Jew persist, mix with other matters, mutate and transform into something
more dangerous.
That's the analogy which comes to mind when you read the
Jeff Jacoby column published in the Boston Globe on June 26, 2013 under the
title: “The myth of the inevitable Jewish minority in Israel.” At first you
want to dismiss the whole thing as inconsequential but after a moment of
reflection, you come to the conclusion that there is more to this thing than
meets the eye.
You discover that Jacoby wrote the article in response to
the warning that was sounded by the American Secretary of State John Kerry to
the effect that unless the Jews end their savage occupation of Palestine, what
they now call Israel will cease to be populated by a majority of Jews. As a
dispassionate observer, you already see the pornography that is inherent in
trying to goad someone to cease committing a crime that has gone on for three
generations not because it is the wrong thing to maintain but because if they
did not end the occupation, their society will cease to be ethnically pure.
Just imagine what the reaction would be around the world if
the British minister of foreign affairs had advised the Yankee Americans to let
a number of Southern states separate and become the Nation of Islam that some
people have been calling for because if the Yanks did not do so, America as a
nation will cease to be populated by a majority of Judeo-Christians.
And yet, this is the current reality when it comes to
matters concerning the self-proclaimed Jewish leaders who whipped up a new
ethnicity from a religion that has vanished centuries ago. They set out to
create a homeland for their concoction in the land of Palestine where they have
been trying to ethnic cleans the territories using all the help they can get
from an American congress of charlatans and imbeciles.
But now that the creature the Americans nurtured to play
with at election time has gone through a Frankenstein sort of transformation,
and is threatening the interests of America worldwide, the Americans find
themselves powerless to rein in what has become an out of control monster. All
they can do now is goad it to stop doing what it is doing because if it did
not, it will end up hurting itself.
How pathetic would this sound if you were a Third World
power! But when you are a superpower and the world gets to see that's all you
can do to rein in what you have yourself created, the message goes out to the
effect that the smallest of powers can now urinate all over you. Thus, you know
now, how it is that the world has become dismissive of America. The culprit is
not the American Left or Right; it is World Jewry working in consort with
Israel and the American Jewish lobby.
With all this in the background, you want to know: How did
Israel and her supporters react to Kerry's goading? And you find the answer in
the Jeff Jacoby column. No, he is saying to Kerry's call because this is an old
refrain that proved to be erroneous. He explains that Israel need not end the
occupation or sue for peace with the Palestinians because the Jews of Israel
will never be overwhelmed by a high Arab birthrate.
Jacoby reprises an argument that was made by what he says
was a former Israeli diplomat named Yoram Ettinger. He admits the argument
defies longstanding conventional wisdom, but does not tell what Ettinger's
credentials are in this field. He believes Ettinger, however, and he wants us
to believe him too. Okay, we may do that but we need to see if the argument
makes sense. So, he begins the argument by comparing the situation now against
what it was in 1960 when the “demographic challenge seemed plausible.”
What happened between then and now? Well, what happened was
that a “Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics began its first census in the
West bank and Gaza in 1997.” Eight years later, in 2005, it predicted that Jews
would be a minority in historic Palestine by 2010. Jacoby goes on to say that
the Bureau now says the tipping point will come by 2020. And he quickly adds:
“Don't count on it.”
To explain that last part, Jacoby does not go directly to
the numbers that count. Instead he unleashes what may be called a psychological
artillery barrage against the reader. To this end, he quotes all sorts of
irrelevant numbers, comparing Palestinian women against Arab women, and Israeli
women against other non-Arab women. This is a well known Jewish contortion of
logic that has a mathematical analogy. It is like saying because 3 do not equal
8, and because 5 do not equal 11, therefore 3 may or may not equal 11. Having
thus confused the readers and softened their logical abilities, Jacoby now hits
with the reality he cannot deny which is that the fertility of Palestinian
women is still higher than that of Jewish women.
He stays on the train of the same contorted logic to throw
another set of inconsequential numbers at the reader. This time, he says that
the number of Jewish births in Israel went from 80,000 a year to 130,000 while
that of the Israeli Arabs remained steady at 35,000 to 40,000. But the debate
is about the effect of the occupation which now encompasses the West Bank of
the Jordan River. Thus, the set of numbers he gives this time is as useless as
a Jewish argument can get. The little useful use it may have is in the fact
that it reminds us what happened in 2005. This was the year that Israel was
kicked out of Gaza, leaving behind a population of 1.6 million Palestinians.
And this is why the tipping point was moved from 2010 to 2020.
Thus, what Israel
can do now is move the date even further away by kicking itself out of all
Palestinian territories. And this is what Secretary of State John Kerry was
saying in the first place.
