The finger and the arm in the title refer to the saying
“Give them a finger and they'll want an arm.” It is a version of the slippery
slope analogy. It means that you must not be generous or lenient with some people.
If you're generous, they'll ask for more, and never stop asking till they suck
you dry. If you're lenient, they'll take advantage of you and stir up mayhem
that will wear you out.
As to the learning curve in the title, it refers to the
aptitude that people have to learn from experience; to the amount of knowledge
they can absorb and the speed at which they can absorb it. Thoughts relating to
these subjects were prompted by the piece that came under the title: “Unfair
Exchange with Tehran ,”
an editorial that appeared in National Review Online (NRO) on January 19, 2016.
The piece discusses the implementation of the nuclear deal
that six nations, including the United States of
America , negotiated with Iran on behalf of humanity. The
editors express their apprehension about the manner in which the deal began to
be implemented, and then say the following near the end of their presentation:
“That is a precedent that other hostile regimes are sure to exploit.”
This view implies that America , her friends and her allies
are the angelic parties who will be exploited by the demonic hostile regimes
who will get on the slippery slope of asking for an arm every time they are
given a finger. Well, if you do research in the pantheon of punditry that was
published during the past half century, you'll find that similar accusations
were made incessantly by Jews, made exclusively by them, and always leveled
against the targets they chose to hate for the day.
But when you exit that pantheon, and you get into the
history of Jewish accretions in America ,
you find that the Jews were the ones who asked for – in fact, demanded – more
and more of what America
was generous enough to give away when it could. But when circumstances changed
and America
could only afford to give away less than before or nothing at all, you'll find
that a parallel pantheon came into being. In it, you'll hear the incessant
howling that the Jews let out at America ,
accusing her of abandoning Israel ,
and telling her what to do next.
That would be the howling of pundits demanding that America cut its domestic spending to have the
resources that are called for to finance the schemes serving Israel and the
other Jewish causes. You'll take this as a sign which shows that if you give
the Jew a finger, you establish yourself as a convert to the principle that's
fed to Jews with their mothers' milk. It is a principle that says: if a Jew
sees something and covets it, the thing instantly becomes his property by
divine edict. And if you, the convert, own the thing but refuse to release it,
you become an apostate, thus deserve to be punished harshly.
A repeated implementation of that principle throughout the
decades has established an umbilical cord linking the resources of America to the
black hole of Jewish avarice. With time, the cord got larger and larger because
the Jews kept sucking on it harder and harder. This development paralyzed America so
effectively, the country surrendered to all sorts of Jewish dictates. Among
these was the idea that America
must demand guarantee of outcome for negotiations it did not yet begin.
That being a Jewish absurdity, no one in the world bought it
and America
was forced to drop it. Instead of dropping it too, the Jewish pundits and their
echo repeaters turned it into a regular criticism they level at the
Administration when it fails to extract from others what would benefit Israel . Here is
how they express that habit in the current editorial: “The release of four
prisoners from Iranian custody … should have been a sine qua non of any
negotiations.” Why? Because “the regime in Tehran used them [prisoners] to extort
further concessions.”
And the NRO editors elaborate on that: “the failure to
demand the release as a starting point for negotiations enabled Iran to extract favorable terms for it, securing
not only its frozen assets, but Iranians imprisoned in the United States .” Thus, in the Jewish
culture, when you hold on to money that someone left in your custody, and he
gets it back through negotiation, it is like he used extortion to extract the
money from you. What can be more asinine and more Jewish than that?
