Prepackaged Potions that void Jewish Arguments

Here is another article to show why you cannot trust anything that is authored by a Jew on the Middle East. Written by Trudy Rubin under the title: “Egypt's Sisi is fueling discontent,” it was published on May 23, 2015 in the Philadelphia Enquirer.

The article tells the story of an Egyptian professor named Shahin who is apparently well known in America. The truth is that I never heard of him in Canada, and have no idea as to the particulars of the case that's discussed in Rubin's article. And so, I am not here weighing the validity of that case; I'm only looking at the style employed by Jews, such as herself, when they tackle Middle Eastern subjects. I see them use prepackaged potions that void their own arguments.

Our author wrote nearly 900 words to reach conclusions that have nothing to do with the case she pretends to discuss, and everything to do with an Egyptian Revolution that will require dozens of volumes to be explained, and decades of history-writing before it can be fully understood. So you want to know from where she gathered the information to do all that she did.

Believe it or not, she set out to encapsulate in 900 words the entire history of the Egyptian Revolution, based only on the following tidbits: “According to U.S. academics who know Shahin well ... [such as] Nathan Brown, a well-known expert on Egypt at George Washington University. I agree.” To be fair to her, it must be said that there is something else.

It is that the story has two other connections with America – a fact that may have helped Rubin understand in an instant a situation that would have required an army of historians, and several lifetimes to stitch together. The first connection has to do with another Egyptian American who was sentenced to life in prison in Egypt and yet, no American diplomat ever succeeded to have him deported to America despite the “annual U.S. aid to Egypt”.

As to the other connection, it involves the American President Barack Obama. Well, at this point, you may have guessed that because a Jew is writing about Obama, only one thing would have been said … and you would be correct. It is that the man acts the way he does because he is motivated by an obsession with a legacy that dictates all of his actions, she points out.

In fact, because Obama is pursuing a nuclear accord with Shiite Iran, Rubin sees him appeasing the Sunni Arab states – such as Egypt – by not responding to the severity of the sentences handed down by judges in that country. But, like all Jews, she hastens to inject her little advice. It is that “Egypt's war on dissent is bound to boomerang. President Obama should be making this point forcefully to Sisi.” You don't just make your point when talking to an Arab; you make your point 'forcefully'.

A few more points – actually, potions that act like poison pills – strewn throughout the article, tell that it is vintage Jewish, and must therefore be void of any useful meaning. There is this point: “an Egyptian who could help his country.” Do you see what is meant by that? It is meant that Egypt is sitting helpless when it has one of its own that can help it, and yet Egypt is mistreating him.

And because it is impossible to have an article about the system of justice in Egypt – written by a Jew – that does not include the obligatory sentences and phrases, you find two of them in this article. The first is this: “The charges are ludicrous;” the second is this: “Another sham trial”. It seems they never have clean trials in Egypt.

There is also the never missed subtle suggestion that when a number is mentioned by the government of Egypt, the Jewish writers will say they met someone who told them the real figure is double that. You often see it happen with the unemployment rate. If the government says 10 percent, someone tells the Jew, it is 20 percent.

This time, the principle was applied to the number of people arrested in Egypt last year. The government said 22,000 people, and the Jew wrote: “Egyptian human rights groups claim the number is double that”.

And then there is the distinctive signature of the Jew who tries to have it both ways by asserting something and hedging against it in the same breath. Here is how it went this time: “The 'tragedy' is that the heavy hand is 'likely' to worsen the terror threat the country faces.” It is as extreme as a tragedy and yet, it is only likely.
