For
reasons of nobility and self-preservation, a number of American Jews formed an
alliance and called it IfNotNow. Its ultimate purpose is to end the ongoing
crime of occupation committed by Israel in Palestine.
Conscious
of the reality that Israel could not maintain the occupation without the
massive financial, military and diplomatic help it receives from America,
IfNotNow concentrates its effort on the unmasking of the work that's done by
the Jewish establishment. Note that this is a monumental work whose purpose is
to maintain the uninterrupted flow of help to Israel so as to perpetuate the
crime of occupation.
For
obvious reasons, the Jewish establishment that projects the image of the
octopus with tentacles reaching into every aspect of American life –– where it
lobbies for the maintenance of the existing maligned relationship between
America and Israel –– does not like the work done by IfNotNow. Depending on the
circumstances, the establishment will use one tentacle or the other to attack
IfNotNow.
One
of the tentacles is named Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and
Analysis (CAMERA). One of the places from among the many where CAMERA operates
on behalf of Israel and the Jewish establishment, is the college campuses. It
has an adviser there, named Jonathan (Yonie) Michanie, where he regularly
attacks IfNotNow and other organizations working to liberate Palestine.
Michanie
is the embodiment of the demonic America-Israel relationship that the Jewish
establishment has created and maintains at any cost. Michanie has dual
citizenship, is a veteran of the Israeli military and still a reservist in it.
Right now, he lives in America where his primary effort is directed at bringing
America's system of education under Judeo-Israeli domination. But he also finds
the time to attack IfNotNow when the latter does something noble in the service
of freedom for the people of Palestine.
In
fact, this is what happened when IfNotNow tweeted something that Michanie did
not like. He responded with an article that came under the title: “IfNotNow
Spreads More Lies About Israel,” published on April 19, 2020 in the Jewish
publication Algemeiner.
It
all began on the eve of Passover when the noble organization reminded its
members as well as all Jews, of the following: “Will we harden our hearts to
the daily suffering of those under Occupation, or will we stand in solidarity
with the dispossessed Palestinians?” Michanie called that a sickening post, and
argued that the uprooting of olive trees on Palestinian land by Jewish settlers
squatting on that land under the protection of the Israeli army of occupation,
does not mean that the occupation is responsible for the suffering of the
Palestinians. He went on to elaborate on that thought as follows:
He
said that blaming all Jews for the actions of one Jew or that of a non-Jew or
that of Israel is an old trick. He gave the example of the Jews being blamed
for the Crucifixion of Jesus when in fact, it was the Romans who carried out
the crucifixion. By that, Michanie means to say that when a group of noble Jews
such as the members of IfNotNow remind the other Jews of the reality that
supporting Israel no matter what it does is bad logic, that group––however
noble it may be––violates the definition of antisemitism as cooked up by an
organization calling itself the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
Michanie's message is that Jews must never be noble because when they are, they
violate a definition that should be regarded as more of a dogma than the words
of God and Moses expressed separately or in unison.
Having
said this, Mechanie went on to blame the uprooting of the olive trees by the
settlers, on the Palestinians themselves. He gave two reasons, one being the
Intifada of 15 or 20 years ago. The other being that the Palestinian Authority
(PA) refuses to cut-off the aid it gives to the families of the young men and
women whom Israel does not like. The point is that even though the PA does not
squander the little money it has on buying weapons or anything like that, it
could still give more money to everyone else if it lets those whom Israel hates
and their families, die of starvation.
Of
course, the expectation––maybe even the intent––is that having no income, some
of these people will be forced to commit crimes to survive. When they do, they
will be shot by the Jews or the Palestinian security forces who will catch them
in the act of stealing food to feed themselves and their young. What can be
more demonic than this? What can be more Jewish than this? Now you know why
there is a need among the Jews for an organization like IfNotNow whose work
palliates the horrifically ugly face of the princes of darkness that make up
the bulk of the Jewish leadership.
Finally,
what would be the worth of a Jewish article in which the author does not shoot
himself in the foot? Look what Michanie has said:
“The
Palestinian Authority spent approximately $14,000,000 on payments to jailed
[Palestinians] and the families of those killed. Based on figures from the US
Center for Disease Control and Prevention, that figure could buy 387,143
coronavirus test kits, or 465 low-cost MIT ventilators”.
Well
my friend, this is Palestinian money that does not contain one American dollar,
going to feed Palestinian families, most of whom are children. Now consider
this, the $4 billion (that's a B) which Israel receives from America every year
to buy weapons is 286 times larger than Palestine's $14 million. Applying that to
the purchase of test kits and ventilators, you get the staggering numbers of
110 million test kits or 133,000 ventilators.
So,
the situation is this: The Palestinian Authority using its money to feed its
hungry could have done nothing to save American lives. By contrast, Israel
using American money to kill Palestinians could have relinquished that practice
for a year, and it would have saved the life of at least one America in a
million tested. That would have meant saving at least 110 American lives.
But
the reality is that some very sick people, both in America and Israel, are okay
seeing dead Americans as long as the result is the possibility of seeing dead
Palestinians. What a true story to tell to posterity!
