A literary Body Language that must be discarded

Surely evolution could not have happened, and we would not be here, were it not for the force of gravity that attracted the elementary particles and allowed the electromagnetic, weak and nuclear forces to bind atoms and molecules together, which then formed the organic matter that further evolved and became a variety of specimen, including us.

Thus, we can think of the forces of nature as a form of communication operating among diverse inanimate matter. Their existence has resulted in the formation of products which are no less remarkable than the most advanced inventions our brains could come up with. And then it happened that half a billion years ago the first organisms were formed on Planet Earth, and they communicated among themselves via the exchange of chemical compounds, thus took evolution a few more notches forward.

Being as evolved as we are, we think of communication as being done almost exclusively through audible speeches and visual signs, which is correct. But the reality is that we have also retained some of the communication methods used by primitive insects. These are the sense of taste and smell, which help us detect and identify information that’s useful to our well-being and survival.

And that's not the whole story. First, think of the fact that to communicate among ourselves at a distance, we have engineered instruments that send sounds and images thousands of miles away using the same electromagnetic force that's used to group together inanimate matter. But what about the lower primates that have not developed speech, yet need to exchange information more complex than can be transmitted through chemical exchanges? What do they do?

What they do is use some form of body language. Most animals have a number of postures wired into their instinct, which they use to communicate to members of their own species, as well as other species, how happy or angry they are about a given situation. Some animals can even be trained to interpret the blink of their masters' eyes, or the smile on their faces or the twitch of their lips … and act on it.

So the question we need to ask is this: Are we humans using something like body language to communicate messages we would not otherwise transmit verbally or pictorially? The answer is yes, and no one does this more frequently than the Jews. In fact, they seem so incapable of living without this habit, they rely on body language even when they communicate via the written speech.

Two articles will help us understand how the Jews do this. One came under the title: “Reps. Omar and Tlaib: Anti-Semitism charges shut down criticism of Israel,” written by Laura Kelly and published on February 27, 2019 in the Jewish Insider. The other article came under the title: “Ilhan Omar Fears Her 'Jewish Colleagues' Are Using Anti-Semitism Charge to Shutdown Debate,” written by Jack Crowe and published on February 28, 2019 in National Review Online.

Kelly's article tells of a gathering that was held in a bookstore cafe. It was attended by the two Muslim women who were newly elected to the House of Representatives. Kelly tells of a very enthusiastic crowd of ordinary Americans that had come to hear the Muslim women explain how the Jews use the charge of anti-Semitism to shut down any debate on Israel. Here is a sample of how the night progressed, according to Laura Kelly:

“Hundreds came to hear the pair speak. Some stood waiting for over an hour outside in the February cold to enter the venue. 'We're here to represent the voice of the people who have been silenced for many generations,' Omar announced to raucous applause. Questions on anti-Semitism and Israel ignited the fiercest passions of those in the audience, 'It is about the Benjamins,' shouted one audience member to laughter and acclaim”.

Whereas Laura Kelly's approach to reporting on that event was done in accordance with the accepted rules of journalism, the Jack Crowe approach was anything but that. To begin with, instead of stressing the enthusiasm of the crowd of ordinary Americans to the full message of their fellow Muslim Americans, Crowe zeroed in on the insignificant moment when Ilhan Omar pushed back against accusations of anti-Semistism leveled against her by people like himself.

And Jack Crowe did not stop there. He went on to fully deploy a literary kind of body language, doing it in a cowardly attempt to distort what the two women had accomplished that night. Here is what he said:

“Omar trafficked in anti-Semitic tropes before being elected, as evidenced by a tweet in which she accused Israel of 'hypnotizing the world.' Having endorsed the notion that Israel 'hypnotized the world,' Omar attributed support for Israel to the Benjamins, or hundred-dollar bills donated by Jews”.

If you've been interested in how children learn about the world before they begin to speak, you would know that they absorb useful information through the body language of the adults around them. For example, if you softly say bad things while smiling, they'll take it that you’re saying something good. And if you angrily shout good things, they'll take it that you’re saying something bad.

If now, someone that pretends to have expertise in a field, utters nonsense while frowning to convey a sense of concern, even the adults around him will come to believe there must be something significant that escapes them in the nonsense he just uttered.

Well, the Jews fake this kind of posture all the time. In fact, almost everything they call trope, and use to accuse others of anti-Semitism, is a nonsense that means nothing. This is why the Jews never explain how or why, something they call trope, would point to anti-Semitism. Their latest use of this cheap trick is calling anti-Semitic trope the observation that Israel has hypnotized the world.

Inserted twice in the Jack Crowe article, this is a piece of nonsensical body language that is as good as any piece of trash you would discard and move on.
