Welcome into the Brotherhood of civilized Man

Finally, a former big wig from inside the bowels of horror has decided to come out the hole of Jewish depravity and enjoy life in the open where there is light and civilized interactions among all men and all women. His name is Henry Siegman who used to preside over the American Jewish Congress, but does more useful things now.

He wrote: “Give Up on Netanyahu, Go to the United Nations,” an article that was published on May 20, 2015 in the New York Times. As you read the article, you feel it in your bones that the man understands the message which humanity has been sending to these people, a message that says: Final-solution the ideology of sheer horror you adhere to, or humanity will try and try again to final-solution your followers, both the guilty among them and the innocent ones who did nothing to deserve such fate.

To make certain that what he is about to say will not be lost on the American people or the captains of the ship of state, Siegman begins the article with this: “Continued peace talks with the Palestinians serves no purpose other than to provide cover for Israel's expansion of Jewish settlements and to preclude the emergence of anything resembling a Palestinian state.” And he ends by warning that if the lesson is not well understood “America will be seen as collaborating with Mr. Netanyahu's government in the continued subjugation of the Palestinians. That would irreparably damage the United States' honor and its national interests.”

As to the lesson he is giving to America, he begins it by saying, in his own way, that there are no moderates in Israel. In fact, speaking of what is perceived as the more moderate faction in Israel, he says the following about it: “An agreement based on the 1967 lines never appeared in the Zionist Union's platform or crossed Mr. Herzog's lips.” It cannot be said clearer or more concisely than that.

As to the most extreme faction, he says the following about it: “Mr. Netanyahu is providing offense [to American democratic sensibilities] by appointing as justice minister Ayelet Shaked who posted an article on her Facebook page that called for the destruction of 'the entire Palestinian people, including its elderly and its women, its cities and its villages, its property and its infrastructure.'” No, this is not Ahmadinejad talking about the Jews; it is Israel's minister of justice talking about the Palestinians. And the US Congress of fools never condemned it.

This being the reality of what has been going on in the Middle East … a reality that was kept hidden from the American people during the past half century, Siegman views Israel's recent victory of the far right as providing an opening for Mr. Obama to call for a reassessment of America's peace policy. And because “it is certain that a two-state agreement will never emerge from negotiations,” he advises that “such agreement can only be achieved if the United Nations Security Council, with strong support from the United States, presents the parties with clear terms.”

If this is rejected by any of the parties or by both, says Siegman, “America would then join other countries in asking the Security Council to resolve the outstanding final-status issues.” He predicts that Israel will reject the idea of ending the occupation and the establishment of a Palestinian state. Thus, he goes on to say: “such decision would encourage international boycotts of Israel and challenges to its legitimacy.” He opines that America's unconditional support for Israel will erode -- a circumstance that will be far more likely to change Israel's policies than any of the present strategies.

Despite the fact that he sees “fierce domestic opposition from the Israel lobby and many members of Congress” if the Obama administration were to shift its Middle Eastern policy, Siegman urges Mr. Obama to move decisively in the direction he outlined. Yes, he used the word decisively, because he knows what happens when you dilly dally with these people; they keep diluting what you're proposing till it loses its significance.

To make sure that Israel gets the message, he warns its leaders that America's commitment to Israel's security will be in danger of eroding if the administration continues to prevent the UN from pursuing a two-state agreement while continuing to provide Israel with the military assistance that helps it maintain the occupation.

This means that sooner or later, Israel will have to choose between the occupation of Palestine and America's guarantees for its security, because it will no longer have both. Siegman then makes his final moral plea: “America's commitment to Israel's security obliges it to push the Security Council to seek an end to the occupation and pave the way for Palestinian statehood.”
