The Jews everywhere in the world must be feeling neglected
these days because much has been happening in the Middle East – most of it in Egypt – and there is little mention of Israel in the
news, including what's printed and what's shown in the North American media.
And so, the Israeli press reacted in the way that it always
does. Its editors followed the Egyptian press – especially that equivalent to
the supermarket tabloids – and lifted from it outlandish pieces to which the
Israeli editors added their own absurdities, and fed the mixture to their
readers. The net result was that more was said about Egypt
in Israeli newspapers than in all the Arab publications (outside Egypt )
combined.
In turn, that Israeli trend inspired the American print
publications as well as the websites associated with the television networks –
to do likewise. Given that the Egyptian tabloids provided them with enough
material to keep them going, neither the Israeli nor the American publications
needed any kind of shiny object to maintain their obsession with Egypt .
But that was not the case with Iran . What happened with that
country is that the Jewish editors and contributors of most major publications
were mesmerized with a shiny object called the Iran Nuclear Deal. They wrote
about it incessantly during the time that the negotiations were ongoing between
Iran and the group of
nations that were led by the United
States of America .
Even after the deal was signed, sealed and delivered, the
Jews continued to attack it in an effort to create an uprising in the Congress,
and have the agreement shredded. But this did not happen despite the attacks
that were organized to come at it from every direction. In the end, that
failure was sufficient to plant in the hearts of the Jews the kind of panic
that usually leads to hysteria.
In fact, hysteria has hit at least one publication, the
Weekly Standard. It printed two articles on the same subject on the same day,
November 10, 2016 by the same writer, Jenna Lifhits … saying more or less the
same thing in both articles. One article is 375 words long, and came under the
title: “Obama Administration Loosens Nuclear Deal After Iran Violates It and
the subtitle: “Penalties are 'something that has to be calibrated...'” The
other article is 520 words long, and came under the title: “Iran Breaks Nuclear
Deal, But the Obama Administration Won't Say It's a 'Formal Violation'”.
Looking at these alarming titles, you wonder if the Jews
have not done the right thing raising their voices loudly for the world, the
White House and the Congress to hear. Yes, my friend, you would be correct, but
only if the headlines matched the reality of the situation. Besides, it is not
that the reality escaped these people. In fact, Jenna Lifhits reports on it
accurately in both articles.
Here is what she says in one article: “the wording actually
says that Iran 's
needs … are estimated to be 130 metric tons … The country was roughly one-tenth
of a metric ton above the deal's 130 metric ton limit.” And here is what she
says in the other article: “the country was roughly one-tenth of a metric ton
over the 130 metric ton limit”.
When the estimate is 130, and you exceed that value by one
tenth of one unit at some point in the process of producing and selling heavy
water, you are off by one part in 1,300. This is like someone on a diet that's
told to stay at roughly 130 pounds, but found one day to register 1.6 ounces
higher than that.
This tells you that the people who scream about something as
trivial as this can only be hysterical. And when you find (from reading the
articles) it was the Iranians who discovered the discrepancy, who promptly
notified the IAEA and took a corrective action, you wonder why the so-called
editors and journalists are not locked up in a mental institution.
