Haggling to sound smart and to self-serve

It looks and sounds like a gathering at the wailing wall of the Jewish mob of pundits. This is one of the many impressions you get when reading “Can Trump Refrain from Repeating His Predecessor's Mistakes in Syria?” an article that was written by Matthew RJ Brodsky, and published on March 18, 2017 in The National Interest.

When was the last time you saw a Jew quote Tony Badran, Lee Smith, Michael Doran, Dennis Ross, Bret Stephens, Charles Krauthammer and Jeffrey Goldberg – all in one and the same article? In fact, these are the ones you meet in Brodsky's article. And the reason why he has them in there, is to give the world a simple message: Look how smart we, the Jews, are yet nobody listened to us when they should have. And so, Syria's Assad remains in place when he could have been vanquished had someone listened to what we were saying.

Sob, sob, sob … wail, wail, wail.

To fully articulate his point of view, Brodsky does what the Jews always do, which is to write history in the way that suits the master plan they are working on at the time. Right now, what worries the Jews is the mess that Israel has created in Lebanon. This gave rise to Hezbollah – Lebanon's capable defense force – that's about to have its coronation when it formally links with a reborn Syria, to then live and thrive under the protection of a triumphant Russia and a vastly empowered Iran.

That's what created the necessity for the Jews to start working on a master plan that will pull the Jewish-owned American beast-of-burden by the nose and get it to appropriate unlimited lives and treasures to protect Israel, to inflate the ego of its leaders, and to make the Jews feel special. It is that these people crave being thought of as the “only” ones for whom America will starve its own children and will send its own young to die while protecting Israel. In return for this service, the Jews are prepared to grant America the honor of being the first to kiss Netanyahu's ring.

And so, Matthew Brodsky sets out to inform the Americans who are in charge of foreign policy that “others, including myself, argued for early intervention on both strategic and humanitarian grounds. We were rebuffed by those on both sides of the political aisle.” This is to make the politicians feel guilty and ashamed for refusing once before to listen to the advice of the Jews. And having reduced their tendency to reject criticism, he now targets the one politician that's of interest to him and hits him with this: “When it comes to the Middle East, newly elected American presidents have a tendency to veer toward overcorrection”.

That's the mistake Brodsky tells President Trump he must avoid making. To show him that when someone makes a mistake, he lives to regret it, Brodsky tells the story of Hillary Clinton's former adviser, Frederic Hof who did his mea culpa like this: “Obama said Assad should step aside. I told Congress that the regime was a dead man walking. When the president issued his red-line warning, I predicted that crossing the line would bring the regime a body blow. I do not understand how such a gap between word and deed could have been permitted. It is an error that transcends Syria”.

So what's the President of the United States to do according to Matthew Brodsky, acting as spokesman for the entire mob of Jewish pundits and lobbyists? He must avoid overcorrecting this way or that way, says Brodsky. This being the case: “The United States is in need of a Goldilocks policy – solutions in between the way too hot and way too cold spectrum,” he goes on to explain.

But how should he do that? This is a good question that seems to find a simple answer in Brodsky's article. If you look hard enough, you'll find that the message implied in this piece of work is for Donald Trump to turn to the Jews. The author did not speak of them as a swarm that's lobbying for the sake of Israel, always Israel and no one but Israel; he spoke of them as the smart ones who can achieve anything you ask of them.

Maybe so, but right now they have American Senator Tom Cotton (nicknamed pile of rotting meat) over there in Israel, instructing him on how to work in the congress on mobilizing America and preparing it to do battle against Hezbollah, Syria and Iran, even if it comes into conflict with Russia.

And they will be calling on the mob of Jewish pundits and lobbyists to tell them how to support what Cotton will be doing in the congress by doing more of what Matthew Brodsky just did. These people never give up.
