We should consider calling Clifford D. May a gift that keeps on
giving for, he just demonstrated how a simple concept can be buried under tons
of haggling trash, thus transform a situation that can be solved in a day into
one that goes on for half a century, and ends up stalemated.
Clifford May wrote an article under the title: “The anti-Israel
lobby,” that also came under the subtitle: “Reps. Tlaib and Omar are on a
mission to defame and de-legitimize the Jewish state.” It was published on
August 20, 2019 in The Washington Times.
What Clifford May did, thinking he was adding to the pile of
haggling trash, is that he highlighted some important facts. What comes out
from reading his article is that the Jews are entitled to a homeland given to
them by the united Nations in Palestine. The size of the land they have title
to, is contained within the 1948 borders, which is equal to less than 10
percent what the Jews occupy right now.
What they occupy at this time comprises, among other pieces of
land, what's known as the 1967 border, also referred to as Israel proper. These
are lands annexed by Israel during the period between 1948 and 1967 by a method
known as “fait accompli,” which means accomplished fact in French.
What happened in the interim was that Israel got into a series of
skirmishes with Lebanon, Syria and Jordan, trying to steal their water
resources. It occupied small parcels of lands but got kicked out of them
eventually. This prompted the Jews to plan the 1967 massive attack on its
neighbors. The adventure was so well planned, Israel increased its size to
something like 5 or 6 times what it was. It asked the neighbors to negotiate
but they said no … not until it withdraws to the 1967 borders. Israel refused
and a 6-year war of attrition ensued. Egypt and Syria finally counterattacked
with force in 1973. The Syrians got back most but not all of the Golan Heights.
Egypt got back all of the Sinai.
Jordan did not participate in the 1973 counterattack because it
had not lost territory to Israel. All that the Jews had accumulated were
Palestinian lands, known as Gaza and the West bank. When Anwar Sadat of Egypt
agreed to the American proposal for the ceasefire that allowed Israel to
withdraw in an orderly fashion, Manachem Begin of Israel tried to hand Gaza to
Egypt. But Sadat would not take what belonged to the Palestinians, and urged
Begin to negotiate with the Palestinians directly. Years later, Jordan did the
same thing with regard to the West Bank.
Right now, the world, the UN, the Arab nations and the Palestinian
people consider that the Jews (Israel) are only entitled to the 1948 borders
... but could get up to the 1967 border if they negotiated in good faith. As a
bonus, the Arab League, speaking for 350 million Arabs in 22 countries, would
agree to recognize Israel, to welcome it into the Middle East instead of seeing
it masquerade as “European Semites,” and establish full diplomatic, commercial
and cultural exchanges.
But the Jews rejected all that because what they wanted from the
start was all of Palestine and what else they could snatch from the neighbors.
They were able to con the American political class, and get the help they
needed to pursue the twin tracks of siphoning America's blood while sabotaging
the peace process and blaming the wreckage on the Palestinians.
The Jews used the power of the haggle to achieve all that. It is a
process that Clifford May took pain to show how it unfolds. He wrote a
1,000-word article that contains many of the techniques used by the Jewish
pundits to portray themselves as victims. They distort the truth, accuse others
of the sins they see in themselves, and attribute to themselves the virtues
they see in others. They understate some issues, and exaggerate others when
it suits them, then reverse their position when the wind blows in the other
direction.
Because it would take volumes to analyze May's article in its
entirety, I shall only discuss one aspect of it. With the backgrounder given
above and the analysis given below, the reader should be able to see the full
range of what the Jews do to make “antisemitism” happen, then complain about it
and ask for compensation as well as special protection not given to anyone else.
Now look at the following passage in May's article:
“The goal of BDS, as stated by its founder and leader, Omar
Barghouti, is Israel's extermination. 'Definitely, most definitely we oppose a
Jewish state in any part of Palestine,' he has said on video. 'No Palestinian,
rational Palestinian, not a sell-out Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish
state in Palestine'”.
Clifford May started the paragraph with the accusation that
Barghouti stated his goal was to exterminate Israel. May was careful not to say
exterminate the Israelis or the Jews, because if he did, he would have been
caught with his pants down, and looked like the naked emperor. But May counted
on the use of the word “exterminate” to give the impression that Barghouti
meant extermination in the sense of a Holocaust. Having used that word,
Clifford May then quoted what Barghouti had said in a somewhat mangled English.
The issue that's treated in that quote is one that came up long
before the advent of the BDS movement. It happened that after a successful
round of Peace negotiations, and before signing the agreement to seal it, the
Israeli negotiators did what they always do, which was to come up with a new
demand they knew the Palestinians could not accept. They asked that the
Palestinians recognize Israel as being a Jewish state.
Because the legal ramifications of such recognition would be
humongous, the Palestinians said no. They told the Jews they can call Israel
anything they want, but they cannot demand that the Palestinians –– or anyone
else, for that matter –– agree with the ideas that lurk behind such
nomenclature. And that's how the Jews torpedoed the talks one more time on that
day.
Ever since that time, the Jewish propaganda machine has been
deceiving the American political class as well as the public by portraying the
refusal of the Palestinians to drink from the cup of poison the Jews are
handing them, as being proof that they want to exterminate the Jewish people.
