This is my response to another one of those articles written
by Claudia Rosett.
But before I do that, let me quiz you on something.
Following the initial blitzkrieg of June 1967 and the rebuilding of Egypt 's air defenses, there were two occasions
during the 1967-1973 War of Attrition when the Israeli air force was able to
penetrate those defenses and bomb deep inside Egypt . What targets did they choose
to bomb? The answer is a factory for making building material and a school for
girls. Why is that?
It is an ancient tradition that when you want to hurt
someone badly, you have three ways to do it. (1) You burn his crop if he is a
farmer; (2) you kill his child if he has one; (3) you destroy his house if he
owns one. For example, I remember the story we were told during Sunday School –
supposedly out of the Old Testament – to the effect that the ancient Hebrews
used to burn someone's crop by catching two foxes, tying them by the tails,
attaching a torch to the tails, and releasing the foxes in the enemy's field
where the foxes would run sideways and set the crops ablaze.
As to the killing of children, this is all over the Old
Testament; the most poignant story being that of killing the first born in
every Egyptian household when the Hebrews looted the country and ran to the
desert in the direction of the “Promised Land.” As to the destruction of the
homes, this was a more difficult thing to do unless there was a war during
which time homes, palaces and temples were destroyed. Otherwise, the idea has
remained a wish that lasted to this day, expressed as a curse that, in the
Egyptian colloquial, goes this way: “yekhreb beitak” which translates into: may
your house (or household) be ruined. As I understand it, there is something
comparable to that in all the colloquials of the region, including Hebrew.
Thus, what Israel has been doing in the Middle East using
modern American weapons is impose the mentality of the biblical Stone Age on
the region, something that the Jews cannot shed because – like they say – you
can take the Jew out of the Stone Age but you cannot take the Stone Age out of
the Jew. And this brings us to the Claudia Rosett article. It has the title:
“The U.N.: Clueless or Complicit in Gaza ?”
and the subtitle: “Problems abound with the U.N. agency responsible for helping
Palestinians.” It was published on September 4, 2014 in National Review Online.
Rosett begins with two short paragraphs where you find the
expressions: “Hamas terrorist attacks” in the first paragraph, and “latest bout
of war” in the second. Right there, you can see that if someone is clueless, it
is she and not the UN. This is because you cannot have a war where one side
inflicts terror, and the other does what? Blow kisses? This is so absurd that
Rosett and people like her have, in fact, started the process of legitimizing
the practice of terrorism at a time when Israel is being delegitimized.
These people must be mental.
The original aim of the Jewish lobby in America was to give itself the veto power in all
matters concerning America 's
relationship with Hamas. That is, by designating the organization as terrorist,
the Lobby could invoke the designation to justify any crime that Israel may be committing in Gaza , or block any relief that the congress
may be contemplating for the Strip. But then, in the typically Jewish fashion
of asking for a finger and then going for the arm, the Jews turned the
self-awarded privilege into a key that opened all doors for them.
And where you see them take advantage of this development is
nothing short of racism, practiced under another name. For example, instead of
saying to the congress or someone else: “do not consider their request or their
complaint because they are an inferior Palestinian race and we are superior
Jews,” they say it in the form of a euphemism which runs this way: “do not
consider their request or their complaint because they are terrorists and we
are not.” In practical terms, the designation has become currency with which
the Jews buy for themselves what they want, and deny the Palestinians what they
need.
