Start of Movement to Palestinize America

On March 18, 2015 I read: “Netanyahu's Win, Obama's Loss,” an editorial in National Review Online (NRO); and I felt uneasy about it because it signaled the start of a trend that some of us had warned about long ago. The next day, I monitored a number of the audio-visual media outlets, only to discover that the trend has already taken roots, and was likely to entrench itself at a faster rate with the passage of time.

To better understand the essence of that trend, we need to look at several realities whose confluence gives substance to it. The first thing we do is recall that apartheid South Africa and the former Rhodesia, claimed to be democracies because they assembled a group of people from a chosen ethnic composition, and allowed them to vote in what looked like a normal kind of government. These people voted on matters of interest to them, as well as matters relating to groups of other ethnic compositions who had no vote and no say in the affairs of government or in the issues that related to them.
                                  
Responding to this situation, a world that was led by vociferous Canada, mouthy Britain, persuasive America and finger-waiving Australia, recognized those two regimes for what they were – colonial, apartheid and an insult to democracy. Not only did the world refrain from doing the things that would have helped them survive, it applied sanctions against them to speed up the process of their demise. The effort bore fruit when those regimes fell, and were replaced by something better.

While the drama was unfolding between the world and the two apartheid regimes in Africa, the Jews were creating an analogous sort of situation in Palestine. They colonized an indigenous population that is Christian and Muslim, depriving it of any say in the way that it is governed. At the same time, they brought more and more Jews from all over the world and gave them the right to vote on matters relating to them and to the other groups.

Most nations of the world rejected that Israeli setup in the same way that they rejected apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia. But there were four exceptions. Irony of ironies, they were the very same Canada, Britain, America and Australia who not only refrained from criticizing Israel, but helped it morally and financially to maintain its regime of apartheid. And that's a regime which remains immeasurably more murderous than those of old South Africa and Rhodesia.

These being the nations that led the campaign against the bad regimes of an earlier era, it became clear to some of us that the Jews who convinced them to reverse their morality and adopt a stance contrary to what used to motivate them – will go beyond what they have accomplished and do, at least to America, what they did to Palestine. We deduced and we warned that the Jews will set up a system under which the Israeli population will be asked to vote on matters pertaining to America without giving the American people the right to vote on those matters. We thought that the Jews will sooner or later Palestinize America.

And that's what happened. The way to pull off such a thing in real life is the way that the events were made to unfold during the month of March in the year 2015. Netanyahu had the American Congress invite him to come and tell it – and presumably tell the American people as well – how to use their resources and their military power when dealing with the world, especially with Iran. And because Netanyahu's views stood in opposition to those of Barack Obama who is the current President of America, it was necessary to take a vote and determine who wins and who loses.

That's what they did, but there was one catch to the process. Only the Jews of Israel got to vote on matters having to do with American issues. It is a replay of what happens when those same Jews get to vote on matters having to do with Palestinian issues, and the Palestinians do not get to vote on them. This is why the editors of NRO and those that pronounced themselves in the audio-visual media the next day, saw fit to celebrate.

The NRO editors used a bit of psychology to express their triumphal exuberance without hurting America's feelings too much. It was not the case with the radio and television crowd, however. The NRO editors put it this way: “It would be a stretch to say President Obama lost Israel's election.” As to the audio-visual crowd, they said clearly that Netanyahu defeated Obama … there was no fuss, no muss and no apology that they may have stretched reality a bit.
