Playing Rodeo in a Mideastern China Shop

Two articles in two New York tabloids printed on two consecutive days tell the story of the Jewish politico-diplomatic cowboy that's riding the American bull, and playing rodeo in the china shop that is the Middle East.

First, on January 24, 2017 came: “The hard facts Team Trump should face on the Middle East,” an article that was written by Ralph Peters and published in the New York Post. Second, on January 25, 2017 came: “A Jerusalem embassy? Liberals shouldn't worry,” an article that also came under the subtitle: “The Western part of the city is part of Israel, anyway you cut it,” written by Robert Abrams and published in the New York Daily News.

Abrams tells the story of how the idea of moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was hatched, being one of the fathers who contributed to its conception. The beauty of this account is that it sheds light on how petty decisions by small men can grow to become major calamities affecting millions of people. This hasn't happened with the American example as yet, but it serves as a metaphor that explains what might have happened when the Sykes-Picot Agreement was hatched – and for which there is no detailed chronicle.

Here, in condensed form, is Abrams's account:

“The year was 1972, and George McGovern was the 500-to-1 long-shot liberal candidate. My friend Hilly Gross and I were asked to hammer out elements for a McGovern Middle East program. We drafted that the United States should recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move its embassy there. Democrats adopted the following in the party's platform: 'recognize the establishment of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The United States embassy should be moved to Jerusalem.' Soon thereafter, Republicans adopted it as well. In 1995, the Jerusalem Embassy Act was passed and called for Jerusalem to remain an undivided city and for it to be recognized as the capital of Israel”.

This shows how useless the democratic system of governance has become in the new age. You have a bunch of losers that hammered a fat idea to serve Israel in the hope of winning the White House for a period of 4 years or maybe 8. They lost and the opposing party won, the way that things are done in America periodically.

Meanwhile, the one thing that remained constant throughout that time was the governing supra-structure of a Jewish establishment that stayed with the Jewish idea from 1972 to 1995 to this day. The Jews played one party against the other and continue to play them, thus making the idea a permanently bipartisan favorite. All that, despite the fact the idea has the potential to do to the world what Sykes-Picot did to it once already.

You can see in the Ralph Peters article how dire the situation is in the part of the Middle East that's called the Levant. And you can extrapolate what will happen to the entire region if the Jews are allowed to rodeo-ride the American bull into the china shop that is the Middle East today. Peters gives his remedial prescription for the region, beginning with a preamble that goes over several paragraphs, and can be condensed as follows:

“We lost the upper Middle East. It's time to cut our losses. It's a lost cause. We cling to fantasies of success in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. We cannot break the hold of Washington-think on foreign policy that benefits not the United States but our enemies … Here is how to exploit the weaknesses of Iran, Russia and Turkey”.

Peters lays out his views with regard to each of these places. What he says has the sound of valid points from which to start a good debate. He also mentions in passing a few other places in the Gulf Region and North Africa, and then drops the name Israel about which he says this: “Support Israel. Always”.

And that's where the link is established – in the mind of the reader – between the Ralph Peters article and that of Robert Abrams. To begin with, Peters is showing – with the use of the word 'always' – how the principles crafted by the Jews for America make permanent what favors Israel, and how they work to reverse what criticizes Israel. They place Israel above the law, and force America to protect what kills the democratic system of governance.

When you combine this principle with the existence of a permanent Jewish supra-governing system shepherding every incoming administration to the promotion of Israel's interests, you know that the democratic system is seriously flawed. When you know that Israel is served at the expense, and to the detriment of everyone, including America, you have an explanation as to why the democratic system is beginning to crack.
