It is not the first time that peace seems to be on the verge
of breaking out in the Middle East . It
happened on a number of occasions but things turned out less than hoped for
each time. To have a better chance at taking the current developments to a good
ending, we need to understand how the people who constantly sabotage the
chances to bring peace to that part of the world, think and operate.
The history they tell about themselves, whether actual or
metaphoric, is that it all began when their old man – their very old man – the
one named Abraham decided to take his son to the top of the mountain and
slaughter him there. Luckily for the boy, God intervened and told the father to
stop the insanity and let the boy live. From that time forward, the people who
embraced the way of life called Judaism have had a fixation on the killing of
children, be they children of their own, or those belonging to someone else.
These people were the Hebrews who later called themselves Jews; and they are
the ones slaughtering the children of Palestine
according to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.
Their way of life since ancient times has been to maraud the
landscape where they raided the sedentary people who farmed the land and
fabricated the goods in use at the time. By their own account – told in a book
they call the Old Testament or the Jewish Bible – the purpose of their
existence is to kill the most defenseless of peoples, and steal the possessions
they can carry and run. In fact, in the blood soaked stories they tell; the
ones that fill the Jewish Bible from cover to cover, they mention with a sense
of exuberance and triumph, the children of the enemies they delight in killing
as they rob the places that they do before running to safety.
Thus, while the brothers of the most prominent clan among
them saw fit to sell their baby brother, named Joseph, to a nomadic tribe that
took him to Egypt where they set him free, it was in Egypt that the boy learned
of a way of life that was based not on hate and revenge the way it was among
his clan, but based on goodwill and forgiveness the way it was in Egypt. Joseph
grew up to become powerful and wealthy at which time he brought to Egypt the
brothers that sold him as a baby. And in the land of plenty, of goodwill and
forgiveness, the brothers lived well and multiplied for a period of four
centuries. But then, like the wild animals that cannot shed their savage
instincts, they stayed up one night to commit the most horrible crime in the
history of our species. They killed the first born of the families that took
them in, robbed the places that sheltered them and fled the country.
Leading them out of Egypt
was Moses who, as a baby, was put in a basket by his parents and left to drift
on the Nile . A princess of the royal palace
spotted him, took him in and raised him well. But being who he is, he turned
greedy and wished to rival the Pharaoh by having a nation of his own to rule
over. He told the Jews to stay up on that horrible night and commit the crimes
that they did. This is how the Jews became a nation, they say; one whose roots
are treachery, betrayal, killing and robbery which they brag about and do not
deny or repudiate.
Once out of Egypt ,
Moses took them on a long trek as they searched for a land they can steal from
its owners; a land on which to settle and seek to live the life they used to
enjoy in Egypt .
But this was not to be because the Palestinian people whose land they
eventually stole, never gave up trying to retake their occupied homeland.
Clashes between the Jewish invaders and the local Palestinians erupted
frequently according to the stories of the Old Testament where the storytellers
again talk with exuberance and triumph about the children they delighted in
maiming, killing or kidnapping. They are who they are, and they never let go of
what makes them what they are.
Meanwhile, they had local stories of their own to tell;
stories in which their small children featured prominently. One of these is the
story of the baby that a certain Solomon wanted to cut into pieces. Another is
the story of the baby boys below the age of one year that a certain Herod sent
an army of soldiers to kill throughout the land. Going into every household the
way that the Jews did in Egypt ,
Herod's soldiers grabbed the babies and killed them without mercy. Among the
babies that were supposed to die but did not, was baby Jesus. It happened that
his mother took him to Egypt
before the soldiers had arrived. And so, once again Egypt was there to take the
children and protect them from the savagery of the Jews.
The current episode of that long saga started a little under
a century ago when hordes of Jews that could not get along anywhere in the
world decided to get back to the land they kept stealing from its owners,
having been kicked out of it and sent marauding around the globe many times
before. They came back this time talking peace and promising that all they
wanted was a small piece of land where they will contain their hunger for
expansion and check their thirst for blood. Needless to say they did not keep
the promise anymore than Dracula would have kept the promise to refrain from
sucking the blood of his victims.
They started a fight at every opportunity that was favorable
to them, especially when a neighbor let their guards down. Thus, amid the human
blood they spilled and the bad blood they generated with their neighbors, they
were able to expand the boundaries of the small piece of land they promised
would satisfy them but never did. And so, the place they call Israel grew larger with the passage of time, a
development that gives them heart to speak of a “Greater Israel” that in
practice, would encompass all of Palestine .
You can see how this mentality works by reading the article
written by Danny Danon who is the deputy defense minister of Israel . The
article has the title: “Israel
Should Annul the Oslo Accords” and was published in the New York Times on
September 21, 2013. The writer begins by reminding the readers it has been “20
years since the signing of the Oslo Accords between Israel and the PLO.” He goes on to
say it was a mistake, and suggests that “the government of Israel [should] declare the Oslo process to have failed.”
This being the old paradigm, he thought up a new paradigm
which he discusses of course, but not before belaboring a Jewish style spin of
reality which allows him to reach a set of conclusions that look more danonic
than a demon could have made them look demonic. And so, according to the Danon
spin, less than 1,500 Israelis died during the 20 years of skirmishes that
followed the signing of the Oslo Accords. He calls this mind-boggling without
once hinting at the possibility that he has the mental capacity to understand
that in a war where the invader possesses advanced weapons with which to kill
tens of thousands of indigenous people, the 1,500 that fell from among the
invaders boggle the mind only in one deplorable sense. It is that the world has
failed to respond, as it should have, by setting up a war crimes tribunal to
try the Jewish criminals who refuse to let go of a mentality that grew out of a
savage era known to have existed in biblical times.
Finally, Danon spells out his new paradigm. He calls it the
“three-state-solution” without one of them being Palestine . Under his plan, Israel will take the West
Bank and maintain complete military control over it. As to the
Palestinian population, it will have no more autonomy than say, a municipality,
because everything else will be administered by Jordan whose government will be
responsible for the unrest that will result from the feeling of despair that
the Palestinian people will develop. And Danon wants the same deal for Gaza expect that he wants Egypt to take responsibility there.
What can be more danonic, more demonic or more Jewish than that? And this is
where my Jewish friend would have thrown his arms up in the air and shouted:
Light up the oven.
Lucky for us, this is only the mental case that is Danny
Danon. But he is not the only game in town because the town has grown larger in
a manner that was unforeseen before, and the result has been that more players
are participating in the current round. You get a sense of this when you read
the article written by Mark Lander and Jodi Rudoren, published in the New York
Times on September 21, 2013 under the title: “As It Makes Overtures to Iran , U.S.
Strives to Reassure Israel.”
The following is what caused the Lander and Rudoren article
to be written in the first place: “Mr. Rouhani has signaled a willingness to
negotiate an agreement over the future of Iran 's nuclear program.” The truth
is that the nuclear program has little to do with the dance we see everyone
perform around the subject. In fact, the dance is only the excuse that gives
cover for the subject to remain on the dock. This being the case, we understand
that the shower of insults unleashed by Benjamin Netanyahu against Iran and Mr.
Rouhani, and the give-and-take that was sparked when some American official
appeared to play along, are nothing more than smokescreens aimed at the local
consumption in each constituency.
So then, what has changed that makes the new situation so
important? It is this: “Mr. Rouhani's election has intrigued the White House.
Senior officials said he seems to have the authority to negotiate. He also has
a broad political mandate in Iran .”
And while this is what preoccupies Washington
because it touches on American interests, the Israelis are preoccupied with
what touches on their interests as shown by this passage: “many Israeli leaders
and analysts saw Mr. Obama's zigzag response to Syria … as a bad omen.”
The difference between the two comes out clearly by the way
that each side goes about obtaining what they want. The White House being the
Executive Branch of the government in charge of foreign policy, it has become
aware of something that an engineer or a technician could have told them long
ago. It is that a container which is full of something will empty if you keep
taking from it no matter how big the container is. And so, like the battery of
a car that is full of energy, if you keep taking out of it by starting the car
and rejecting the paradigm to replace it by another paradigm without going
somewhere, you end up flattening the battery and still go nowhere.
That is exactly what Danon of Israel is asking for, and what
the American Congress is responding to when interfered with by a foreign
character that pretends to have leverage in matters relating to the way that
the American voters are swayed to vote. Thus, you have a passage such as this
in the Lander and Rudoren article: “Netanyahu's words were most likely meant
for the ears of the members of Congress … Ron Ben-Yishai wrote: 'The Israelis
are telling their American counterparts that...'”
The truth is that an America
whose battery has been flattened by a Jewish lobby which cares only about Israel , has a
White House that is now determined to save it from heading to the scrapyard of
history. The two sides are engaged in a quiet war at a time when the White
House should be shouting its concern to the American people so that everyone
may be drawn into the discussion. Only this method will loosen the Jewish grip
on America 's
throat, and put an end to the practice once and for all.
Otherwise it is going to be a dead American battery and the
scrapyard of history.
