The editors of the New York Times came up with a piece they
wrote under the title: “Fires of Hatred in France ” and published it on July
23, 2014. It is a banal little thing so devoid of substance; it reminds me of
the way that some people used to talk about Chinese food. They used to say, you
can eat all you want from this stuff but you'll never feel that you're full.
I don't hear someone talk like that anymore perhaps because
people have become health conscious, and have learned to appreciate meals that
are not very dense. Well, if light food is good for your physical health, I can
assure you that an editorial as light-weight as that of the New York Times is
not good for your mental health. I hope people will not get used to that kind
of presentation, but I'm not holding my breath because the signs I see all
around me are not very encouraging.
The truth is that the situation which the editors describe
as happening in France
– without telling that the same thing is happening in other places too – robs
the subject of its substance. The reality is that the situation is being
repeated throughout Europe and in many places
around the globe. Everywhere people are protesting Israel 's
aggression against Palestine the way that they
protested against America
during the Vietnam War, and again during the second Iraq War. These worldwide
protests are the natural expression of humanity to what is basically a savage
manifestation of man's basest of instincts – the lust for blood.
The reason why people throughout the Western World and
elsewhere take to the streets when it comes to the United
States of America as opposed to say, Russia or China
or some other country is because these people feel that their governments and
their media conspire to keep them in the dark with regard to America 's
crimes. They sense that because America
is big and powerful, their governments and their media shy away from “telling
it like it is.” In response, they go into the streets and express that
sentiment in a way that their governments and their media cannot ignore.
Much the same applies to Israel with the exception that the
people who protest do so because they sense that their own governments and
their media are controlled by the Jews. They reckon that this is why Israel is
allowed to get away with murder, and why their own governments and their media
feed them lies about it. These views are further reinforced by the manner with
which the governments react to their protests, however peaceful they may be. In
fact, the people are left to protest against America all they want, and the
media would even write a few favorable things about them. By contrast, the
people see nothing but hostility from the government and from the media when
they protest against Israel .
The editors of the New York Times tell what happened in France ,
admitting that things went peacefully till the time that the demonstrators were
intercepted by members of the Jewish Defense League when apparently, all hell
broke loose. Then, say the editors: “France 's interior minister banned
demonstrations that had already been approved.” Given that this pins the blame
on the Jews, something the editors could not tolerate, they shifted the blame
to the demonstrators with a sleight of hand. This is what they did: “many
protesters stayed home, some defied the ban … others came bent on violence,
including spewing virulent anti-Semitic views.” All of a sudden, the Jewish
aggressors became the victims of anti-Semitic spewing.
And because there was no way they were going to talk about a
subject like that without mentioning Auschwitz, the editors of the Times found
a way to mention the place, after which they ended the editorial with these
remarks: “A demonstration supporting Palestinians is set to take place on
Wednesday [today]. It must be possible to have safe demonstrations while
offering zero tolerance for agitators of any stripe.”
