To go ballistic is to be like a bullet that's fired from a gun.
You aim in one direction, you pull the trigger, and once the bullet is gone,
you have no control over it. Gravity and the atmospheric conditions determine
how far the bullet will go, how much it will deviate from the straight path,
and what or where it will impact.
And so, to go ballistic in the exercise of human interaction, has
come to mean the start of a project that sounds good in theory but without
envisaging a potential development for it. Thus, you do not prepare a plan B in
case the project begins to falter. And you do not build into it a way to abort
the mission if and when it proves harmful to your goal or detrimental to
society.
This kind of behavior is common at the individual level,
especially among the people who live a hectic life, and remain so absorbed in
what they do, they judge the validity of everything they see in terms of how it
can or cannot be useful to them. But once these people leave the realm of the
self, and do something that involves the company of others, they come under
scrutiny. They are called out by their colleagues when they misbehave and told
to mend their ways. If they ignore the advice, they find themselves ostracized
first by those close to them, and then by society as a whole.
This has been the pattern of Jewish existence for thousands of
years. While individual Jews are as selfish as anyone can be, they go ballistic
when it comes to developing and protecting the interests of the group. Thus,
you see them judge the validity of an occurrence by asking and answering the
question, “Is it good for the Jews?” In addition, it happened that since the
creation of Israel, that question has spawned a progeny which goes like this:
“Is it good for Israel?”
This behavior might have been dismissed as irrelevant were it not
for the fact that those questions imply an interest in what is good for the
Jews or for Israel right now, regardless of the possible consequences that the
occurrence or the project might have on society in the long run. And so, it
happened that when a new generation of Jews and non-Jews began to realize what
the outgoing generation of Jews was sneakily creating for them, it rebelled.
That rebellion is ongoing in America at this time. The young are
agitating on the campuses and elsewhere, demanding that communal approach to
human interactions be brought back to society. At the same time, however, the
old guard is using its monopoly of the media to distort what the young are
doing. In addition, the most fanatic of the old guard have upgraded their
ballistic interaction with others, from the proverbial single bullet of the
handgun to the spraying of the machine gun. The old guard took that step
believing it will answer the question: What is good for the Jews or for Israel
right now if you’ll just ignore the consequences that might follow?
However misguided this is, it is what's unfolding in the Israeli
media and the Jewish controlled American media these days. A good example to
study came under the title: “What American Jews just don't get about Israel,”
an article that was written by the Israeli Daniel Gordis and published on
September 7, 2019 in the American publication, The New York Post. What follows
is a condensed version of what Gordis is saying:
“Most American Jews hope that Netanyahu will be defeated. They are
Liberals, and claim that his 2018 law declaring Israel the nation-state of the
Jewish people has eroded democracy, and blame him for the lack of progress on
the Palestinian front. There is a chance that he'll win. If not, the victor
will come from the center, and Israeli policies will not change. Some
candidates have declared they would hammer Gaza and be resolute toward Iran.
The US and Israel are different projects. America was created to be a haven to
huddled masses; Israel was intended to be a home for the Jews. American Jews
chant, 'end the occupation.' Israelis have no idea how to end it. There is much
that Israel must do differently. A relationship between American Jews and
Israel is critical. It is important for all to understand that America and
Israel are different. One was meant to embrace all of humanity; the other was
intended to [embrace the so-called] Jewish people”.
As can be seen, Daniel Gordis admits that no matter who rules
Israel, the current policy –– especially the one regarding the occupation of
Palestine –– will not change because those who put it together meant it to be
an irreversible ballistic endeavor. This is why despite the pressure that's
coming from the Jews of America, who are the most important benefactors of
Israel, the beneficiaries say they wouldn't know how comply with the demand to
end the occupation.
Gordis further admits that Israel is not now and never was a
democracy given that it was meant to exist exclusively for one kind of people:
those who convert to a religion they call Judaism, and by some kind of sorcery,
acquire a racial ethnicity that puts them above everyone else. Imagine the
self-delusion!
In the mind of these people, the magical transformation exempts
them from having to obey the laws of man … making them responsible only for
obeying the laws of God, which is their responsibility to write down, and
America’s responsibility to enforce. Imagine the self-delusion!
