Speculated wishful Thinking they live by

Because people who commit violent acts are usually of the quiet and discreet type, the remark often heard is that they should have been spotted and fingered by their friends or relatives because something about them must have changed that those who are close to them would have detected.

If this is so with regard to an individual, can the same be said about a group of people that marches to one and the same drumbeat even when the members are not of one and the same association? The answer seems to be yes if we judge by Benny Avni's article that came under the title: “Why Palestinians are on the verge of civil war,” published on July 27, 2016 in the New York Post.

There is nothing strange about Benny Avni writing strange things. Also, there is nothing strange about the editors of the New York Post choosing funky titles for the articles they publish. And there is nothing strange about Avni attacking a prominent Palestinian figure for something he said that puts Israel in a bad spot. What is strange is that you find all of that and more in a single Avni article. This is what we find in the latest of his creations; a work that tells us something is in the offing.

In fact, clues abound in the article that point to what’s worrying these people at this time. The writer begins with an attack on Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine, Bernie Sanders, Hank Johnson, the idiots who burned an Israeli flag, America's progressive left, and guess who else: Benjamin Netanyahu … but only because he is considered a usual suspect.

This done, Avni reveals the name of the Palestinian figure on whom he unleashes a vitriol so ferocious, you'd think the man is responsible for the sun rising in the East instead of the preferred West. That man “is none other than the president of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas,” says Avni. Calling him Mr. Yesterday, he chides him for “launching a battle against the Balfour Declaration.” Not to forget his foreign minister who “blamed England for the mess in Palestine and asked for help in suing the British government.” What's the world coming to? You'd think only the Jews can ask for compensation, now you see the Palestinians do it too.

To denigrate Mahmoud Abbas, Benny Avni unfurls the usual litany of insults that even he realizes will do little to diminish the stature of Abbas. And so he pulls the big one on him. It is the regular Jewish trick of adding insult to injury by blaming the victim for failing to deflect a crime inflicted on him by a powerful criminal. Just look at the following stomach wrenching piece of intellectual dishonesty, and marvel at the brazen fashion by which the Jewish brain tends to function:

“Abbas has already raised a Palestinian flag at Manhattan's First Avenue UN headquarters and received blessings for a Palestinian state in places like Geneva, Sweden, Mauritania and the back pages of the US party platforms. Yet he has proved completely useless in creating a state on the West Bank”.

In essence, Avni says that despite the success achieved at the UN as well as Geneva, Sweden and Mauritania by the civilized Palestinian leader, his success pales when compared to the criminal acts which are committed by the savage Jewish settlers who team up with the American equipped Israeli army of occupation, and frustrate every Palestinian effort to create a viable state in the West Bank. Because of this, Abbas is useless, says Avni.

Is that it? Is that the only thing brewing inside the heads of Benny Avni and those who march with him to the sound of the same drumbeat? Or do they all worry about something bigger; something that preoccupies them so much, they are forced to act strangely even by their own standard?

Well yes, there is something bigger. It is that the month of September is approaching. This is the time of the year when the bigwigs of the nations gather in New York for the annual General Assembly event that keeps legitimizing the Palestinian cause, and keeps delegitimizing the fake Jewish claims to a piece of Palestine, if not the entire Palestinian piece.

Benny Avni does not mention that reality because Jews do not speak the language of reality. Instead, he does the Jewish thing of speaking the language of speculated wishful thinking, which is how he ends his article: “Israel will continue to flourish.” Maybe he believes that another compensation handout for Israel is in the offing.
