There is an old saying, claimed to be of Jewish origin,
which goes like this: “Those whom God intends to destroy, he first renders them
mad.” And you know that someone was rendered mad when you see them froth
nonsense at the mouth.
Divine intervention or not, some people go psycho and lose
control of their mouths when they are affected by the physical environment in
which they live. In this case, a medical doctor could probably find a cure for
them. Other people go psycho when they are affected by the psycho-cultural
environment they would have created for themselves. In this case, even a
psychiatrist could not do a thing to save them.
Now imagine people that grew up in a cultural environment
where, as children, their elders drummed into their heads horrible stories
about an event they call the Holocaust. This happened, they are told, before
they, or even their parents were born. It is further explained to them that
people like themselves were singled out for a punishment that was as painful as
hell itself. And they are advised that the same thing can happen to them
because the evil that caused past suffering is still around and stalking them
because they are Jews. Think how much on edge these kids would have been during
all the time they were growing up.
Now imagine history unfolding in such a way that superpower
America, which rescued the survivors of the Holocaust, took them in and gave
their offspring the opportunity to work on establishing a haven for Jews in a
place that used to be called Palestine. It is now referred to as Israel , a place for Jews; and occupied Palestine , a place for
Christians and Muslims.
Because the offspring grew up with the idea that if someone
can hurt the Jews, he will hurt them, the Jews developed the belief that the
way to prevent someone from hurting them in Israel is to prevent everyone near
them from becoming strong. Therefore, the duty of every Jew in the world, must
be to work relentlessly––using any means they can think of, including the use
and abuse of their friends––to keep sabotaging every progress made by Israel's
neighbors so that they remain week, helpless and backward.
To that end, one of the schemes they came up with involved
the appointment of Jewish charlatans like Dennis Ross and Michael Makovsky to
masquerade as American mediators working to resolve disputes that involve
Israel, and a Palestinian population that wants nothing more than to be free of
the Jewish occupation. What the charlatans were doing however was buy time for Israel 's leaders to strengthen the occupation of
Palestine . For
a number of decades, things went so well for the Jews they thought the way was
clear for them to start scheming for greater achievements still, using American
power.
And then it happened that the Jews discovered they were
living an illusion. While they made what they thought was progress against the
unarmed people of Palestine ,
two trends they failed to detect were developing under their nose. First, the
Palestinians were winning the case in the court of public opinion, thus
nullified the sympathy that the Jews had gained exploiting the Holocaust.
Second, Turkey and Iran who used to be Israel 's
non-Arab close friends in the Middle East, suddenly turned against Israel . And so the
Jews realized that the whole world was rooting for the Palestinians because
everyone had discovered what the Jews were really like.
The Jews became disillusioned, and that realization had such
a powerful impact on them, they began to hallucinate. You can sense this
reality in the article that Michael Makovsky wrote under the title: “One way to
counter Iran 's aggression?”
and the subtitle: “Change the map of the Middle East .”
It was published on Dec. 26, 2017 on the website of Fox News. Another article came
under the title: “In the Mideast, Trump Gives Reality a Chance,” and the
subtitle: “The first step toward peace is to stop indulging the Palestinians'
fantasies of destroying Israel .”
It was written by Reuel Marc Gerecht and published on Dec. 27, 2017 in the Wall
Street Journal.
With regard to Michael Makovsky, what follows is a condensed
version of what he wrote:
“Syria , Iraq , Lebanon
and Yemen
… there is nothing sacred about these countries' borders. They are artificial
constructs created in a failed experiment by international leaders … The
principal vulnerability of Iran 's
strategy is its dependence on ethno-sectarian fissures. The United States [too]
should exploit this vulnerability … An added benefit of this approach could be
fomenting the tensions within Iran, which has Kurdish and Azeri populations …
Iran intends to dominate the region and destroy Israel. President Trump should
take the offensive to Iran .
The current political structure of the Middle East serves Iran 's
interests, and it is time to upend it”.
Thus, Makovsky looked at Israel , which is the most
artificial construct ever put together by the United Nations, and called 4 Arab
countries artificial. He looked at the miserable failure that the Israeli
experiment has been, and said the Arab nations were a failed experiment. He
looked at the success that Iran
has had, and begged America
to emulate Iran ’s policy of
exploiting the region's ethno-sectarian fissures to win the way that Iran does.
That was Michael Makovsky's moment of frothing at the mouth.
He thus signaled he was rendered mad, perhaps with divine intervention or
perhaps not. As to Reuel Gerecht, what follows is the condensed version of the
passages which are most pertinent to his delusion:
“Competent Palestinian governance is the only chance
Palestinian society has … A two-state solution isn't going to happen before
Palestinians reconcile in a functioning democracy … Americans, Europeans and
Israelis are responsible for elongating the Palestinian delusions about the
“right of return” and a sovereign East Jerusalem”.
It is evident that Reuel Gerecht is frightened by the
reality that the Palestinians are coming close to getting what they want, which
is implementation of the “right of return” and a sovereign East
Jerusalem .
Thus, he fantasizes about the Palestinians – who are a
people under occupation – behaving like a government composed of Mothers
Theresa, and not like the Israeli presidents and prime ministers that keep
getting thrown in jail for embezzling the foreign compensation money that's
sent to Holocaust survivors, and for serially raping their office workers.
Aside from the mythical exploits of Jeanne D'Arc, no colony
was ever liberated by a Mother Theresa or someone that came close to having her
faultless nobility. Thus, contrary to his power for self-delusion, Reuel
Gerecht will not find such a creature in Palestine
or anywhere in the world.
