Too clever by half, the Joke backfires on them

Ted R. Bromund and Robin Simcox wrote an article that came under the title: “Who Could Possibly Have Expected This Anti-Semitism in Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party?” which means the writers were surprised to learn about that development. But given what has been happening in Britain and all over Europe; it is we, who should be surprised that they were surprised. So we ask: Where have these two been during all that time? Were they in a comatose state?

In any case, they were awake long enough to write that article, and have it published on April 29, 2016 in the Weekly Standard. What the article does is demonstrate that when it comes to fanaticism, you can take the brain-washed horse to the fountain of enlightenment and moderation, but you can't make him drink from the elixir of his return to sanity.

These two authors are supposed to be highly educated people holding prestigious positions in what is supposed to be a highly respected think tank … but look how they start their dissertation: “Utterly, totally unexpected developments are occurring in Britain's Labour Party, which is led by Jeremy Corbyn...” Okay you say, it must be that the one they call Corbyn was a good man who then flipped and turned bad in an “utterly and totally unexpected” fashion. And so, you expect that Bromund and Simcox will describe him as such.

But no; that's not what they do. Instead, here is what they say about him: “...a man who once described Osama bin Laden's death as 'an assassination attempt, and … yet another tragedy upon a tragedy, upon a tragedy.'” Whoa! Are they saying that Corbyn was a good man when he mourned the death of bin Laden, but then flipped and became a bad man? What a mind-boggling thought?

Look what else they say in an effort to cement the idea that they were surprised: “It turns out – and certainly, no one could possibly have seen this coming – that some of Corbyn's supporters don't like Jews very much.” No, we must now say that our two authors were not only in a comatose state; they were frozen into a cryogenic state and sent into space where they roamed for at least a generation. In saying: “certainly, no one could possibly have seen this coming” they further establish that they remain cut off from the rest of society.

But wait a minute. Could it be that Bromund and Simcox were being sarcastic in saying they were surprised? No, they couldn't have been sarcastic because they tried to find an excuse to justify their theory about Corbyn. Excuse? What kind of excuse? What Jewish excuse did they imagine? Well, there was only one way to doing this the Jewish way. It was to lie. And so they lied.

Here is what they say: “In 2014, Labour MP Naz Shah, [elected to Parliament in 2015] made a series of until-now unnoticed Facebook postings.” So the inevitable question: Do Bromund and Simcox really expect that people will believe that something posted on facebook went unnoticed for two years even though its owner went through an election campaign, got elected, became Parliamentary Private Secretary to Labour's Shadow Chancellor and also sat on the Home Affairs Committee? Who do they take us for? Frozen specimen sent on a tour of the solar system?

And they continue to tell their story as if no one was scrutinizing it for veracity. But, this being a story involving Jews, you expect it to be of the tragic genre; the kind in which the authors – unable to tie-up the loose ends – end up shooting themselves in the head. And guess what, my friend. That's exactly what our two authors did.

Having made it a religious dogma that “certainly, no one could possibly have seen this coming,” they now say: “It's impossible for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, or anyone else, to be genuinely surprised at this turn of events.” Bang! They just blew their heads off.

These two geniuses (just being sarcastic) have managed – in one and the same article – to go from “no one could possibly have...” to “it's impossible for anyone to be...” With this, they made the possible and the impossible sleep in one and the same bed. It is time to pause and take a deep breath.

The moral of this story is that Jewish writers and their echo-repeaters refuse to accept the reality that when the time has come for an idea to spread, it will spread. The more they try to smother it, the stronger it becomes and the faster it spreads. And so it is with the idea they call anti-Semitism.

However, there is a practical way to stop a bad idea from spreading. It is to deny it a reason to exist in the first place. In the case of humanity's renewed resentment toward the behavior of the Jews, the way to proceed is not to accuse people of being anti-Semitic; it is for the Jewish leaders to change behavior.

Right now, the occupation of Palestine represents all the evil that humanity has seen in the Jews and has attributed to them throughout the centuries everywhere on this planet.

And no amount of bludgeoning the critics, or making sarcastic remarks about them will change the monstrous image that humanity has of the Jews. Their leaders worked hard to earn that image on behalf of the rank and file, and they wear it like a badge of honor.

At this time, only the end of the occupation of Palestine will begin to change that image, and help make the Jews look human again.
