Bret
Stephens wrote a column under the title: “When Anti-Zionism Tunnels Under Your
House,” and the subtitle: “For the people of northern Israel, anti-Zionism
isn't some feckless sally in the world of ideas.” The column was published on
December 13, 2018 in The New York Times.
Before
we get into the core of what Stephens is saying, let's think up a little
vignette that will help us understand something crucial about the way that the
mob of Jewish pundits conducts a discussion these days. Imagine a nutcase in a
mental institution trying to convince the doctor he is sane and ready to be
discharged.
He
tells the doctor that his cousin used to believe the sun rises in the North,
but his brother believed that the sun rises in the South. And then the cousin
admitted he was wrong, which goes to prove that the sun rises in the South,
like says the brother. Now, my friend, here is a Bret Stephens version of
reality as generated by that same kind of logic:
“In
2002 the secretary-general of Hezbollah was said to have noted that the
creation of Israel spared his followers the trouble of hunting Jews to the ends
of the world. Apologists in the West claimed he uttered no such thing. Tony
Badran of [some comical outfit] tracked down the speech in which the Hezbollah
secretary carries on about occupied Palestine where the decisive battle with
the Jews will take place. This proves that the apologists were wrong, and that
anti-Zionists are also homicidal anti-Semites”.
Now
think about it. If you were the doctor, would you discharge this patient? Would
you allow him to leave the institution and go mingle with ordinary people in a
society that believes it is safe and has nothing to worry about? And while
you're thinking, look what else Bret Stephens has opined. It is what he wrote
right after describing war incidents that happened between Hezbollah and
Israel:
“All
this is to say that Israelis experience anti-Zionism as a looming menace to
their existence, held at bay through force of arms. It's like the difference
between discussing the effects of Marxism-Leninism and experiencing them in
West Berlin, circa 1961”.
Here,
the intent of the writer is to convey the notion that there is a difference
between imagining yourself going through an ordeal, and actually experiencing
such ordeal. That's fair enough and sane enough. But what is insane is to
believe that in a war situation, the Israelis feel the effects of what the
Arabs throw at them, whereas the Arabs — like the
characters in the war games played on video at home and in the arcades — do not
feel the effects of what the Israelis throw at them.
And yet, this was the image that America
has been getting incessantly from the mob of Jewish pundits during the half
century that the latter monopolized the marketplace of ideas. The Jews were
able to pull this off, having ruined the lives of, and pushed out the countless
souls that dared to challenge the regime of Jewish tyranny imposed on North
Americans with the connivance of leaders that were born with the spine of
earthworms and raised to become political prostitutes.
But
then came the internet, and the marketplace of ideas began to be reclaimed by
the authentic forces of democracy that were stifled for a while by the
artificially constructed pretenders who masqueraded as a Jewish version of
democracy; one that was supposedly fashioned in the image of America's
Jeffersonian Democracy. But in reality, the much-vaunted construct functioned
like a virulent Fascism that wore the gown of a nun, a glossy lipstick, and
carried a machine gun under the gown.
It
was upon the discovery of such realities that the people of North America woke
up from their deep sleep. They spoke to the earthworms running their lives,
telling them they better develop a firm spine or they'll be fed to the birds,
first thing at daybreak. When the human invertebrates objected and tried to
explain to their proletarian subjects how magnificent Israel was, the subjects
replied they don't care what good things the Jews are doing in Israel, they
care what evil things the Jews are doing here at home. They want this to end,
and they want it to end right now … no ifs or buts.
In
fact, the ordinary people wanted to see no more Jewish-inspired wars, no more
impoverishment of America to enrich Israel, no more laws to serve the Jews at
home or serve Israel abroad; and they wanted to see the repeal of laws like the
anti-BDS garbage which compels all Americans to live the way that the leaders
of Israel prescribe it for them. Enough is enough.
Bret
Stephens ends his column with this advice: “It is time for you to re-examine
every opinion you hold.” Yes, indeed, you should do exactly that because for 50
years those opinions were shaped by the Jewish lies that flourished like weed
without any opposition to balance them, restrict them or challenge them.
