It took three
quarters of a century for the English-speaking world to finally see an aspect
of the Jewish culture that was known to most other peoples.
That would be the
habit of Jews to project powerlessness, peacefulness and helpfulness until they
can maneuver themselves behind you, at which point they plunge the knife in
your back.
This is what
happened to most editors in charge of the English publications. What they could
not see watching the behavior of the Jews in occupied Palestine, what they
could not see watching the Jews trample on the rights of Arab immigrants in
North America; the editors finally began to see and understand what the Jews
were thinking and doing when the latter gained the power, dropped the mask of
innocence and began to act as their true selves.
It happened, first
at National Review Online (NRO) and then at The Federalist, where they took-in
a whole bunch of young interns to teach them the art and science of punditry,
and allowed them to practice the craft in their publications. What happened was
that instead of learning, the interns thought they already knew all there was
to know about the profession. They acted like babies stricken with diarrhea,
trying to outdo each other in a contest that honors the biggest load and
smelliest discharge. And both NRO and The Federalist quickly discontinued or
greatly attenuated their internship programs.
And then, it
happened to the Washington Examiner. This is where you'll see how in 2 days,
the full force of a horrible presentation, hit the editors of the Examiner in
the face. It forced them to take a sharp turn at the point of inflection from
where the stinky business of babies outdoing each other was taking the
Examiner, to the business of adults deciding to rein-in the kind of
journalistic permissiveness that had sent the entire North American continent
to the bottom rung of human development.
It was on July 23,
2020 that the Washington Examiner published an article, written by Tiana Lowe
under the title: “Democratic Party draft platform tries to placate Ilhan Omar.”
And it was 2 days later on July 25, 2020 that the Examiner published its
editorial under the title: “Democrats embrace foreign policy delusions”.
Even if no connection
is apparent between the two titles except that both deal with the subject of
the Democratic Party, the sharp difference in tone between the two as exhibited
in the treatment of the articles, speaks volumes about the embarrassment that
the editors must have felt at the stinky load that Tiana Lowe had discharged on
their plates two days earlier. And from this reality, you must conclude that
the editorial was the publication's way to apologize for running Lowe's article
in the first place, and show the readers it is better than that. Here is the
most embarrassing part of Lowe's article:
“The party
platform issues this concession: 'We oppose any effort to delegitimize Israel,
including through Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement, protecting the
Constitutional right of our citizens to free speech.' Paying lip service to the
notion that anti-BDS laws constitute an attack on free speech brings to mind a
controversy. Although Ilhan Omar campaigned on opposing BDS, she voted against
a nonbinding resolution to condemn anti-Israel BDS. She supports the
eradication of the world's only Jewish state because she hates Jews. She
introduced her own pro-boycott resolution. They let her use free speech as
cover. That the free speech canard made it into the platform means they'll do
it indefinitely. They are acquiring the political clout to force a fight over
recognizing Jerusalem as the nation's capital”.
Shocked by the
appearance of something as insulting to the profession as this in their publication,
it took the editors of the Washington Examiner 2 days to find a formulation by
which to transmit their shame and sorrow that a piece of filth as disgusting as
the work of Tiana Lowe, had managed to make it to the pages of the Examiner.
And so, they wrote an editorial on the subject of the Democratic platform in
which they mentioned neither Ilhan Omar nor BDS nor Israel as if to signal that
this fake subject is of no concern to them. Here is what the editors of The
Examiner preferred to talk about:
“When it comes to
military spending, Democrats would allow allies to spend less toward defense.
They rebuke Trump by adopting the narrative that he poses the greatest threat
to the alliance. As to Germany and South Korea, Joe Biden's party ignores that
both should be doing more to counter our shared threats. The Democrats'
platform also articulates a commitment to make responses to disinformation,
corruption and economic coercion, priorities in our agenda. But there is no
mention of Germany's support for Putin's economic coercion. The Democrats'
commitment to abandon domestic energy extraction, makes their policies as
pro-Putin as those of the Germans. It gets frightening when Democrats pledge to
abandon legacy platforms –– that is, the modernization of nuclear weapons
programs. They say they will end the forever wars. This is absurd. Most
foolishly, they recommit themselves to the disastrous nuclear deal”.
