Another Excuse to Moan and to Control

Here is a perfect example of a self-appointed member of the Jewish lobby pouncing on a flimsy excuse to deal himself another hand by which to confuse America, silence Americans and pocket another win that will come handy when the Jewish lobby will see the need to pressure the Administration or the Congress to do something looney in favor of Israel.

It is that David Firestone who, I understand, is some kind of authoritative honcho at the New York Times, has written an article for his newspaper under the title: “In Ukraine, Both Sides Exploit Jewish History” and has published it on February 26, 2014. For once I do not have to explain how a situation like the one unfolding in Ukraine can be used by someone to gain the upper hand in an ongoing issue. I am spared the trouble this time because I can simply point out that Firestone is doing what he accuses someone else of doing. Here is what he says in the first paragraph: “both sides exploit them [the Jews] to gain an upper hand...”

Firestone accuses the government of Putin of smearing the protesters who brought down the government of Ukraine. He says that the Russians have called the protesters “neo-Nazis” who are conducting a “pogrom” against Ukraine. They also called the protesters extremists who manifested antisemitic tendencies. Well, you want to know: What does it all mean? Are you asking me this question? Have you never heard of the concept of clarity by Jewish ambiguity? Now I have to explain to you the inexplicable.

Let me try. David Firestone says that the government of Putin sounded thoughtful when it made the remark about antisemitism because it is true that statements of this nature were made and were “unquestionably” of deep concern. To prove his point, he tells of the current ultra-nationalist party whose members quote the leaders of the Third Reich, and who honor the founder of a Ukrainian fascist organization.

And what makes this thing even more “unquestionable” is that the words have translated into actions. And he gives examples of that. He writes: “Swastikas have appeared on synagogues, Nazi salutes were seen around Maidan Square, at least two Jews were beaten, and a fearful rabbi urged the city's Jews to leave town or leave the country if possible.

Now comes the Jewish trick out of the hat as the author turns the unquestionable into questionable. Look how he does that: “It's scary, but it's hardly a 'pogrom,' as Mr. Putin described it in December.” Okay, Mr. Firestone, we hear you, but are you going to tell us what the difference is between scary and pogrom? No, he is not going to do that because his message is a lot simpler than that.

Here is his message: There are words such as pogrom, holocaust, Jewish lobby and the like that nobody but Jews are allowed to use. You touch any of them, and it's like touching the third rail. You will derail your life trying it because these are words that “vibrate with bitter urgency” to a Jew even if he were someone that was born gentile, born three generations after the events in Europe; he is one that just converted to Judaism, and someone who wouldn't know a pogrom from a holocaust from a hole in his anatomy.

And that's not the end of his story because there are three more things he must do to make this an authentic Jewish presentation. First, he must deepen the ambiguity by getting back to the business of praising Putin and damning him at the same time. Here is how he does that: “Mr. Putin has not been bad for Russia's Jews, but...”

Second, seeing that there is not enough energy in his case to make a noticeable impact on the readers, he borrows energy from other sources and blends it into his case. Here is how he does that: “...but he [Putin] has little to teach the world about tolerance, as his bigoted statements and legislation demonstrate.”

Third, he must end the presentation with one last moan to make sure that he has added enough into the toolbox with which he and his kind will control people and institutions in the future. He knows he will not control Russia or Ukraine because they will tell him to buzz off. His aim is to control America, mobilize its resources and make them available for use by Israel. Here is how he does that: “The neo-fascists have tried for years to whip up public anger by calling for an end to the 'Muscovite-Jewish mafia,' Mr. Putin and his foreign ministry are doing the same thing from the other direction. Both are misusing the Jews.”

“Oh, how I ache at the belly, America. Compensate me for something and send the check to Israel.”
