Imagine a pedophile rapist who is defending himself in a
courtroom full of the parents whose children he raped, and in front of the
cameras which are broadcasting the case to the whole world. He looks the judge
in the eye and promises that he has a defense so powerful, he the judge, they
the parents and the whole world out there will want to praise him, not condemn
him for what he did, and what he wants to continue doing.
And so he takes a deep breath and confidently tells the
judge that he did not rape the children. What he did, he goes on to say, is
that he made love to them. He nods, smiles to the judge and adds that the judge
himself can ascertain this truth by asking his own little boy to whom he did
the same thing. Yet, the boy has not denounced him. And why is that? Because he
must have liked being made love to. “I am a hero” says the rapist of children
“not some kind of monster taking advantage of innocent children.”
And that is the closest metaphor which comes to mind when
reading the article that was written by Daniel Schwammenthal who is the
director of an outfit in Brussels
calling itself the AJC Transatlantic Institute. The article has the title: “The
New Face of European Ant-Semitism” and the subtitle “The 'Elders of Zion' are
out, but demonizing Israel
is mainstream.” It was published in the Wall Street Journal on November 13,
2013.
He begins by telling of the incident that took place three
quarters of a century ago in Germany
known by the English name Crystal Night, and by telling of the current “rise of
openly anti-Jewish parties in Greece
and Hungary .”
Being an average human being, you experience the normal human reaction of
asking yourself: What is it about these people that keeps evoking this kind of
responses from human beings everywhere on the planet, now and at every moment
in history?
And you think this will be the question that the author will
address. He might have an answer, you hope, that will once and forever put an
end to what has come to be called antisemitism which, in reality, has nothing
to do with hating Semites because of who or what they are. I can tell you this
because I am of Egyptian origin, therefore an authentic Semite, and I don't
feel hated because of my ethnic affiliation. What gives me the creeps are the
self-appointed leaders of the Jews who have been badmouthing me for nearly half
a century because they could not beat me in any argument, and so have been
trying to shut me up ever since.
And that's the same sort of thing that Schwammenthal is
trying to do in the first paragraph of his article instead of addressing the
question squarely by asking: “What is it about us, Jews, that keeps evoking
this sort of responses from average human beings, and what can we do to change
that?” No, he does not ask this question, and he does not try to answer it.
What he does instead is say the following about the current developments: “this
remains a problem that authorities and civil society must confront without
equivocation.” In other words, he wants the governments and civil societies
everywhere in the world to shut their own people up.
So let me pause here for a moment to say a word to Daniel
Schwammenthal about something I do not like to talk about but must do so now.
Listen to me, kid, and listen carefully because you'll never be given this
lesson again. Canada
is a country whose GDP has surpassed the trillion dollars. If you add up all
the goods and all the services that were produced and consumed in this country
over the last 50 years or so, and if you convert all that into current dollars,
it will amount to well over 50 trillion dollars.
And there is not one level of government – as rich as they
are – or one civil society that the Canadian Jewish Congress did not mobilize
at one time or another in the effort to shut me up. Millions upon millions upon
millions of dollars were spent to this effect, and you know what Danny my boy,
they all failed – and they failed miserably.
And so, my advice to you is that you bite your tongue when
the time comes to whining. Instead, tell your self appointed leaders to stop
raping humanity and stop heralding that you are targeted because God placed you
on this Earth to love humanity and make it better.
