The Art of creating a Nexus for every Occasion

The first time I began to think about this subject in earnest was just about forty-five years ago. I was listening to the radio while driving and an item jolted me so much, I turned off the radio to ruminate on what I had just heard. It stayed off till I reached my destination.

What I heard was a nexus the likes of which I had never heard before. Reading the news, the announcer was saying that an “ugly” incident had taken place in Australia (I can't remember exactly what) because a week earlier, a Swedish university had invited a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), to come and address a conference on the Middle East. It was a gathering to which the Israelis were also invited.

From that day on, I paid particular attention to Jewish talking heads (first the rabbis, and then their disciples) to see how they will create an artificial nexus connecting the Jewish causes of the day with whatever random incidents might have occurred on that same day or thereabout.

And believe me, my friend, not once did these characters go public without milking every incident that occurred as if the whole world was their private garden from which they plucked what they wanted when they wanted. And they managed to accomplish all that while keeping those who would not toe the line – including yours truly – out of the garden by labeling us anti-Semitic.

Whether the story of the day was about Rwanda, the Balkans, a tumbling Skylab, the Basque region, a shooting star, the Red Brigade, the Latino Jackal, a passing comet or what have you, there was a profound lesson in it, according to the Jews. It was a lesson that pointed to the righteousness of the Jewish causes and to the immorality of the Arab and Palestinian causes. Those Jews always found a nexus to argue that a shooting star, for example, meant that the Jews were moral and the Arabs were not.

While dismissing what we might have said – were we given the chance to say it – referring to it as “the so-called Arab side of the story,” the Jewish talking heads created a nexus between the story of the day and a cause of theirs, thus drawing polemic and artistic “energy” from everything under the sun and from everything around the galaxy. With this much energy under their belt, and no one to push back against their nonsense, the nonsense became the new gospel for a North America that was hungry to embrace change … any change at all.

Now, forty five years later, you can see that the habit is still here – no longer played out in America by local rabbis or their disciples, however, but played out by members of the Israeli Knesset. Yes, this is what Yair Lapid has done, writing an article that was published on April 8, 2016 in the New York Daily News under the title: “Bernie Sanders' Israel slip does real damage” and the subtitle: “It helps Hamas, says a member of the Knesset”.

True to form, you see how the man is responding to the interview that Senator Sanders did with the Daily News. He says this: “The problem with the claim made by the senator is that it reflects everything Hamas' propaganda arm, with the support of anti-Israel BDS organizations, tried to sell to the world”.

What Lapid has done is create a nexus that connects the words of Bernie Sanders to the BDS movement. Coming after a title and a subtitle that say senator Sanders is damaging Israel and helping Hamas, it is obvious that the member of the Knesset is doing what the Jews always do, which is to blame the problems they create for themselves on someone else. It was the false nexus that allowed him to do that.

He ends the article with this: “The fact that we are a democracy prevents us from countering lies with lies.” Spot on, Yair Lapid, spot on. You guys never counter a lie with a lie because you don't believe in the eye for an eye equation. You only talk about it while practicing a deliberate policy of disproportional responses.

What this means is that in the same way you deliberately go out and kill a hundred Palestinian civilians for every Israeli soldier that gets killed trying to kill Palestinians, you also counter every ounce of Palestinian truth with a ton of Jewish lies. This too is called disproportional responses.

The proof that you do this is here for all to see. The fact is that unlike you, the Palestinians do not have a propaganda machine controlling the media in the Anglophile nations. Their story is carried to the world by the UN workers who are there to monitor the situation. For you to say otherwise is to lie a Jewish lie.

Furthermore, unlike you who create the false nexuses to tailor-make the lies that suit the moment, the Palestinians do not create nexuses even though it would be the easiest thing for them to do. That's because the crimes that the Jews commit in Palestine quickly become American crimes given that most of the settlers, the weapons and the finances pouring into Palestine come from America.

There is also the fact that after the commission of each crime, America tries to use its dwindling power and prestige in a futile attempt to belittle the crimes it can no longer hide.
