When you read the title of an article that sounds majestic, you
think you'll be treated to a royal banquet for the brain. But what happens when
you sit at the table, and all you are served is stale bread and a glass of
water at room temperature? You get PO-ed, of course, because you feel you've
been cheated by a false promise.
That's what will happen when you read the latest Dennis Ross
article which came under the majestic title: “There's no reason Congress and
Trump can't achieve their goals for Saudi Arabia,” written by Dennis Ross and
published on November 29, 2018 in the Washington Post. But look what Dennis
Ross is serving at that regal-sounding dinner:
“Congress should ask what we're trying to achieve. Two goals are
essential: First, send a message that the killing of a journalist is
unacceptable. Second, influence the future behavior of the crown prince, since
he will remain in power for many years. Suspending the sale of some weapons to
the Saudis would produce a strong bipartisan majority. Now is the time to say
to the king and the crown prince: no more surprises. Our ambassador must have
access to the king and the crown prince when needed, also establish a channel
for high-level, regular discussions. The president should resolve the Qatar
imbroglio, and the Saudis should accept it. On Yemen, the Saudis need to
declare a cease-fire for two weeks. If the Houthis fail to reciprocate, the
onus should be put on them and Iran. Trump should urge the taking of several
steps: Release the imprisoned female activists, end the guardian rules for
women, and change the Saudi textbooks that demonize Jews and Christians”.
In “pedestrian” English, what Ross is saying boils down to
advising the Congress and the President they must agree to tell the Saudis that
killing a journalist was a bad thing to do, and hope this will influence the
future behavior of the country's rulers. But why call this language pedestrian
English? It sounds more like the schoolyard tossing of ideas among a gang of
kids wanting to, but afraid to confront a rival gang.
Knowing that the American system of governance has been so
pulverized by the Jews, nothing in it will work unless you produce an argument
that contains an angle by which to serve Israel well, Dennis Ross took that
into consideration when making the next point. He argued that the way to
produce a bipartisan support in the Congress for an action against the Saudis,
was to suspend the sale of some weapons to them — an act that will warm the hearts of Jews in America and those in
Israel.
And so, I ask you the
following questions, my friend: Did you ever crave food for thought that is
this skimpy? Do you know of anyone that craves something as light as this? Or
that can live for long on something as light as this, given that man does not
live by bread alone?
Having conned himself
into believing that he put on a strong performance already, Dennis Ross gained
the confidence to suggest that the Americans should command the Saudi rulers
never again to produce a surprise. To ascertain that this will hold when no one
will be watching, he recommended that the Saudi royals agree to have regular
discussions on the subject with their American — let's call them — parole
officers.
What Ross forgot to tell
the men who will carry that message to the Saudis — if anyone will be foolish
enough to volunteer — is that they should take with them some of their favorite
snacks and solitaire games because they’ll feel lonely and feel hungry for a
taste from home, as they might sit in a Saudi jail for several months.
While in the mode of
thinking up ideas how to command the Saudis what else to do, Ross wants
President Trump to put down a solution for the Saudi-Qatari dispute, forcefully
suggesting that the Saudis must accept it.
As to the dispute in Yemen,
the President should command the Saudis to stop fighting for two weeks, says
Dennis Ross. If the Houthis do not reciprocate, the Saudis can then resume the
fight.
And there are three more
things: Saudi Arabia must release the women in jail, must let women travel
alone, and must change the kingdom's school textbooks.
Guess what must be said
at this point, my dear reader. It must be said that America better not send
someone to take this message to Saudi Arabia unless they do not mind
experiencing how it feels to be buried under a ton of camel dung.
Well, what else is there to say? It is obvious that the Jews have
exhausted the barrel of all the ideas that turned out to be detrimental to
America.
Unable to come up with new ideas they can sell to the country's elites
or its pedestrians — who were badly hurt by
Jewish counsel year in and year out — the Jews are now scratching the bottom of
the dream barrel to come up with something … anything at all.
But all they could come
up with, was a compilation that would not impress a bunch of schoolchildren
trying to be creative outside a classroom setting.
