Audiences
of a different generation were entertained by the lyrics of “tiptoeing through
the Tulips,” but audiences of the current generation seem disgusted by the
haggling over “tiptoeing through the Peace Plan”.
Robert
Satloff is adamant about being the Tiny Tim of political punditry, deriving joy
from singing the never ending refrain that goes something like this: I was
correct yesterday, I am correct today and I'll be correct tomorrow when the
truth of “God knows what it is I'm talking about” will have been revealed.
But
the truth as defined by ordinary human beings in any language, lies in what
Robert Satloff did once again when he falsely claimed that Israel is doing the
right thing by skillfully maintaining the status quo while creating new
“accomplished facts” on the ground, and calling them “realities.” Let it be
known that the Israeli skill consists of the American equipped thieving army
laboring as fast as possible to grab Palestinian land and properties, but not
so fast as to trigger an uproar by the Palestinians living under the yoke of
occupation, and by everyone else in the world at large.
Robert
Satloff tiptoed from a previous position during which time he haggled a bag
full of useless ideas about ending the occupation of Palestine –– to a new
position by which he is now haggling yet another bag full of useless ideas to
end the same occupation. In fact, he began discussing the new position by
distorting his old position, and by making the intervening events sound like
they vindicate both his positions.
Being
one of those who contributed the most to the creation of the mess that came to
be known as the occupation of Palestine by the American equipped and financed
Jewish army of so-called Israel, Satloff's continued preoccupation with the
subject, is akin to the witch doctor that keeps messing with the health of a
patient while claiming that he alone can cure him.
You
can get acquainted with the details of this sorry mess upon reading the article
that Satloff wrote under the title: “We Need a Corrective to Old Catechisms on
Peace. Trump's Plan Isn't It,” published on February 5, 2020 on the website of
the Washington Institute. This is how Satloff started his current presentation:
“This past May, I warned that the Middle East peace plan being devised by the
White House stood little chance of success … I offered a long list of reasons”.
That
was a list of haggling points that did nothing more than betray the writer's anger
that the plan was giving the Palestinians too much. But the way that he
explains those points now, would suggest that he means to say, he foretold that
the plan was so idiotic: “Predictably enough, it took less than a week for Arab
and Muslim states [later the EU as well] to reject the plan in the clearest and
most vociferous terms”.
Besides
making the false claim that events had vindicated him for making the
predictions he once did, and besides expressing the delight that the status
quo, as desired by the Likud Party of Israel, will not only be maintained but
expanded to encompass the theft of more Palestinian lands and more of their
properties, Robert Satloff is using the occasion to seek codifying the
principle that Jews have rights no one else (such as the Palestinians) has or
can ever have.
Here
is how Satloff made that assertion: “A clear statement that the solution of the
Palestinian refugee problem lies in return of refugees to the new state of
Palestine, not in keeping alive fantasies about refugees' alleged 'right of
return' to Israel”.
It
is the culmination of mental retardation for an ardent Zionist who fights for
the right of every convert to Judaism to “return” to a Palestine where neither
he nor any ancestor of his has ever lived, yet dismisses the same right to the
Palestinians whose roots in Palestine go back to the beginning of time. What
makes the retardation earn the descriptive “criminal” is that the author of the
declaration has discussed the subject in the most demeaning of manners by describing
the Palestinian legitimate human desire to go home as being a fantasy, and by
speaking about it as being the: “Alleged Palestinian right of return”.
Apparently,
Robert Satloff believes that if and when he or any of his offspring gets
spooked by a mysterious “connection” beckoning them to the land of the
Palestinians, it can only be asserted that the galvanized dudes have the right
to “return” to Palestine. In Satloff's view, it is logical that this should
stand in contrast with the desire of the Palestinians to go home, which he says
can only be viewed as being an allegation.
Well,
let me tell you something, Robert, it is this kind of primitive and beastly
thinking that has been sending the Jews to the gas chamber and the incinerator
from time immemorial to modern days.
