In some cultures, the Jews are stereotyped as
money lenders who will want a pound of your flesh if you can't pay them back.
In other cultures, they are stereotyped as holders of a dagger they'll plant in
your back if you can't be of use to them in some other way.
Of course, all money lending stories are not the
same, which is why different individuals tell different stories about their
experiences with Jews. The same goes for the kind of daggers that different
Jews will plant in your back. Think of them as daggers made of different
materials, each representing a different mental disposition of the dagger's
holder.
This brings us to Jonathan S. Tobin whose mental
disposition is clearly revealed by his use of the dagger he is showing to the
Jewish-American rank-and-file. That's what the article he wrote is all about.
It came under the title: “Trump Puts the Ball in the Palestinians' Court,”
published on September 28, 2018 in Algemeiner.
The first thing that Tobin does is ask the question: “Is the
two-state solution back at play?” A thousand words later (during which time he
displays his most prized possession, the silver dagger he'll stick in the back
of those who say yes to the two-state solution,) Tobin closes his argument with
this: “Netanyahu is clearly betting that they can’t,” they being those who
would say yes to the two-state solution.
Between the question at the opening of the article,
and the answer at its closing, Jonathan Tobin uses a thousand words to dazzle
the readers with the magical powers that his dagger possesses. Its name is
“ambiguity,” and it gives the Jews the ability to say two contradictory things
simultaneously to achieve two incompatible goals, thus allow the Jews to have
it both ways.
Jonathan Tobin's preoccupation at this time is
that he wants to reassure Netanyahu's base their man will never give Palestine
back to the Palestinians. He also wants to tell the world that the problem
plaguing the Middle East is not the recidivist Jews who remain as naughty as
ever, but the faultless Palestinians who only want the Jewish squatters out of
their property. To achieve his two objectives, Tobin used the magical powers of
his dagger. Look how he did that:
“Trump signaled he was open to a two-state
solution. It's a stand that should discomfit Netanyahu that has been hostile to
the notion, promising Israeli voters there would be no Palestinian state
created on his watch. But Netanyahu didn't seem bothered by Trump's statement;
he didn't view it as a threat. Why? At the core of the peace plan is a concept
opposed by Netanyahu that doesn't show signs of panic despite the fact that
Trump expects Israeli concessions to compensate for recognizing Jerusalem as
Israel's capital. So why is Netanyahu calm? It's because thanks to Trump, the
ball is in the Palestinian court. If Abbas is interested in an independent
state, all he has to do is say “yes” to a state that will be demilitarized. So
long as the ball remains in the Palestinians' court, it is good news for those
who oppose the two-state solution”.
Despite the fact that Tobin openly and repeatedly
reassures Netanyahu's base that their man is the obstacle to peace, you can see
how he refrains from criticizing this reality, yet shamelessly goes on to plant
the dagger of ambiguity in the back of Donald Trump, President of the United
States of America, and Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority.
Here is when and where the magic happens: “Thanks to Trump, the ball is in the
Palestinian court. If Abbas is interested in an independent state, all he has
to do is accept a demilitarized state”.
This is an example of the impossible oxymoron
forming a typical Jewish ambiguity: it is the use of the two words
“independent” and “demilitarized” in the same sentence. Even a child knows that
a so-called state that's not allowed to defend itself is a state that's not
independent. These two words do not go together except when coming out the
mouth of a Jew … and they did come out the mouth of Jonathan S. Tobin.
Right now Jewish settlers, soldiers and foreign
visitors roam the West Bank because the Palestinian Authority cannot stop them.
Also, moronic foreign governments are invited to build embassies on undefended
Palestinian lands because the lands are not defended. The travesty that's
perpetrated on the West Bank is not perpetrated on Gaza. That's because Gaza is
defended whereas the West Bank is not.
Tobin has just told Netanyahu's base that Trump
will change nothing in the West Bank, and if lucky, he might even convince the
people of Gaza to become like the West Bank. Now my friend, you know why
Netanyahu is not worried.
