A Culture without a measuring Yardstick

Nothing is more fitting at this time than to ask the question: Why is it that after decades of exclusive Jewish advice to America on all sorts of foreign policy matters, but especially the Middle East; the Jews are now saying that the world – and more so the Middle East – are going to hell? Predictably, they also blame everyone except themselves for taking the world, including the Middle East, to such a dangerous place.

Unfortunately, we may never get a definitive answer to that question because the ones who can answer it are the Jews. And they are not talking because they consider themselves to be so infallible, they must not respond to a question that might lead them to admit inadvertently they can make mistakes. They fear that if this happens, it will open the door for them to take responsibility for some of the things that go bad – if not all the things that come under their purview and go bad.

But what is it about Jewish thinking that makes these people view the world through a lens that is distorting to such an extent? It is that the concept of limit has not fully matured in the Jewish culture … and will never mature because if it does, the entire culture will collapse. And it is the absence of such limit – when discussing some subjects – that forces the Jews to speak in superlatives a good deal of the time. That absence is also what makes the Jews look at two identical or near identical parallels, and fail to see a relationship between them.

This happens if one of the parallels applies to a gentile, and the other applies to a Jew. To take an exaggerated example that will illustrate a point, imagine an old woman walking on the sidewalk. Behind her walk two young men; one clearly a Jew and one clearly a gentile. You and your Jewish colleague are walking behind the young men. The old woman stops and opens the purse. The wind blows money out of it; some of which is grabbed by each of the young men. They hurriedly cross the street and run away as fat as they can.

You curse the young men but your Jewish colleague objects because (get this now) you equated – yes, he says you “equated” – the two young men when it is obvious they were not motivated by the same intent. It is clear to him that the gentile young man will spend the money on himself whereas the Jewish young man will find a worthy charitable cause on which to spend the money. Your colleague came to that conclusion because the gentile young man is a product of the prevailing culture whereas the Jewish young man is the product of a Jewish culture that is powered by unlimited virtues.

Now examine the piece that was written by the editors of the Wall Street Journal under the title “The Senate's Iran Distraction” and the subtitle: “Republicans should focus on persuading the American people.” It was published in the Journal on March 10, 2015. Concentrate on this passage: “Equating elected Senators with the Revolutionary Guard Corps is itself a political stunt, but that's how Obama plays.”

The fact is that there are all sorts of regimes on this planet, and each is run by a cadre of people that have counterparts in the other regimes. When communication is done between the regimes, it is done between counterparts that are of the same level. This is why the American Senators addressed their open letter to the leaders of Iran (meaning to whom it may concern) aside from Ayatollah Khamenei who, according to them, is negotiating with Barack Obama, his counterpart.

This is why Obama identified the Revolutionary Guard Corps as being the counterpart that will receive the American message. Now, given what is known about this group, Obama found it ironic that members of the Congress would want to make common cause with it. But this view should not have come as a surprise to anyone given that the Jewish propaganda machine has often expressed the hope that the Ayatollah himself will nix the deal which they say, Obama desperately wants to finalize. Maybe, like say, that's how Obama plays, and that's fine. But this is also how the Jewish led editors of the Journal think and write, and that's lousy.

Having accused the President of staging a political stunt, the editors lament that the letter of the senators is a distraction which takes away from the work that needs to be done. But what would that work be? It would be “the main political goal of persuading the American people.” It is politics again as you can see. Anymore politics? Yes, the editors imagine that Obama knows the “Republicans are playing politics.”

Someone should tell these people that if they want to write good editorials, they must develop a concept of the limit, a standard that applies equally to everyone, and they must curtail their playing politics.
