When the horses cease to respond to the whip being cracked on
their backs, the boys at the front of the horse carriage get baffled at the
bullheadedness of the horses, and feel disappointed.
This is a spot-on analogy representing what's happening to the
Jewish “hawks” that have been cracking the whip on the backs of horses pulling
the ship of state in America, and the backs of godfathers pulling the
murder-and-loot syndicate in Israel.
Two articles were published recently, one expressing the
bafflement of Benny Avni at the bullheadedness of President Donald Trump for
refusing to condemn the Russians with regard to the maritime altercation they
had with the Ukrainians. The other article expresses the disappointment felt by
Shmuel Rosner at Benjamin Netanyahu that refused to carpet bomb Gaza from the
air or invade it on land.
The Benny Avni article came under the title: “Russia made its move
— and Trump blinked,” published on November 26, 2018 in the New York Post. The
Shmuel Rosner article came under the title: “In Israel, War Is for the Weak,”
and the subtitle: “Why did Prime Minister Netanyahu avoid a bigger fight in
Gaza this month?” It was published on November 27, 2018 in the New York Times.
Here is a condensed version of the story that baffled Benny Avni — as told by
him:
“Russia mounted an aggression against Ukraine, and America punted.
Nikki Haley vowed that Washington would stand with Kiev. So what's the plan? Hailey
referred to a toothless Obama-era gabfest that legitimized Moscow's annexation
of Crimea. This is like showing up to a gunboat fight without even a knife.
Russia and Ukraine are already at war. But the current crisis is different.
Interrupting freedom of navigation threatens Europe and beyond. For Washington,
this incident implicates an important principle. America is the guarantor of
free navigation across the globe. The president can't permit this aggression to
go unchecked. But Haley only promised that Russia's standing will be
undermined. Russia hawks inside the White House must be cringing. Meanwhile,
the Kremlin is becoming bolder”.
Whereas Benny Avni is distraught at America's performance in the
Russia-Ukraine affair, Shmuel Rosner expresses his disappointment that Gaza was
not punished. And he does something else also. To protect the reputation of his
hardline idol, Benjamin Netanyahu, Rosner employs the Jewish trick of pointing
the finger at the sun and call it moon, while pointing the finger at the moon
and call it sun. Look how Shmuel Rosner does that, and marvel at the ability of
these people to engage in shameless self-deception:
“Hamas discovered an Israeli military unit in Gaza. A battle
ensued. Palestinians were killed, and Hamas fired rockets into Israel. The
public wasn't pleased. Many wanted to see more effective measures against
Hamas. Avigdor Lieberman asked for a heavier bombing or the use of ground
forces against Gaza. Netanyahu rejected this position and initiated a
cease-fire. Politicians don't go against the public's sentiment but Netanyahu
did. Why isn't clear. But he pulled it off because he is adept. Military action
is popular. Using force is what weak prime ministers do. Stronger leaders take
their time as they ponder their options. It was Netanyahu's time to show
restraint. Was it the right call? The public must trust that the prime minister
is the right person to handle the situation. Netanyahu understands something
his colleagues fail to grasp: A leader has to gain the people's trust by
demonstrating that he is cautious. It's what Netanyahu did by not rushing into
a new conflict in Gaza”.
From the start, the Israeli mantra has been that deterrence is
what guarantees the survival of Israel. The way that deterrence works, is when
Israel hits hard at anyone that does as much as think of hurting Israel — not
by engaging in restraint. Benjamin Netanyahu having been the strongest
proponent of that mantra, for him to come now and say he abandoned it in favor
of adopting the wisdom of restraint, is to stretch credulity.
And when credulity is stretched, we are compelled to guess as to
the real reason why Netanyahu sued for peace, while Lieberman was said to have
resigned his cherished job. Given that there have been numerous indications to
the reality that the Americans have had it up to here protecting Israel against
the consequences of its criminal activities, and paying the price for it
themselves, we can only conclude that President Trump must have warned
Netanyahu of something that paralleled Putin's warning to Netanyahu.
Come to think of it, the two warnings could only have gone
something like this: One more reckless move on your part, Bibi, and you won't
have the opportunity ever again to repeat that move or any other move.
