There was a time in the old
days when life was simple, and people were unsophisticated. When they spoke and
when they wrote, you knew they meant what they said, and did not have to sleuth
your way through their pronouncements to decipher what subtle meanings were
hidden between the lines.
Life has steadily turned
sophisticated and more complex since those days, and the people who speak
today, have learned to censor their public pronouncements lest they get caught
in controversies that would distract them from proceeding with their agendas.
As well, the people who do the listening, have learned to comb through what is
said, to get the full meaning of what is being communicated.
It is in light of these
realities that we parse the piece which came under the title: “As Israelis give
up on peace deal, Democrats' 'solution' would destroy Jewish state,” which is
an editorial of the New York Post, published on July 18, 2020.
The first thing that hits you
when you read the article, comes early in the first paragraph in this form:
“The US Democratic Party is in thrall to a solution...” Well, to be in thrall
means to be enslaved by someone. Since nowhere in the article is there an explanation
as to who is enslaving the American Democratic Party, you don't take those
words at face value. Instead, you posit that the truth must lie in the reverse
of what is asserted. That is, you determine with a high degree of certainty
that the Democratic Party is not now enslaved by someone. On the contrary, you
recognize that it was liberated from the bondage that the Jews had imposed on
it for half a century, the way they are doing it now to the Republican Party.
The next thing you notice is
what the editors of the New York Post did next. What you notice is that they
set up two camps: one for the good guys and one for the bad guys. They grouped
themselves and Jonathan Tobin into a bundle and placed themselves in the “love
Israel” good camp. Next, they found a whole bunch of unsavory characters whom
they stuck into the bad “hate Israel” camp. Among these are the ex-Obama
officials: Joe Biden, Ben Rhodes and Robert Malley, as well their new turncoat,
bete noire, Peter Beinart.
But what is it in these people's
behavior that might indicate they hate Israel? It is the company they keep, say
the editors of the New York Post. And here is the proof they offer:
“With birth rates that would
soon make Arabs the clear majority, Jews would be set back politically. That
fits fine with the dreams of a rising Democratic faction of young Israel-haters
and anti-Semites, like Reps, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. In addition, Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is also part of the group”.
Well, aside from the attitude
of the people in the “bad camp,” that passage makes it clear whom the Post
editors love and whom they hate. But are they not allowed to harbor such
sentiments in a country that calls itself a democracy? They sure do, but when
their feelings spill over and become an open hatred for the American system of
governance, as well as hatred for the Constitution that engendered that system,
the editors' sentiments become a clear indication that what is expressed here,
is unmitigated hatred for an America that refuses to continue being slave to
Israeli interests.
In fact, you can see this
clearly expressed in the editors' writing; people who are not shy a tiny bit
about trashing the American electorate (not just the politicians but the people
of America) while praising everything Israeli. See for yourself what they said
in that regard, beginning with their view of AOC:
“She and a dozen fellow Dems
called for restrictions on US military aid to Israel if it annexes areas of the
West Bank. Restricting aid should be a bipartisan nonstarter. New York
Democratic voters ousted staunch Israel-backer Rep. Eliot Engel in favor of
AOC-backed Jamaal Bowman, whose pro-Israel bona fides are dubious. At the 2012
Democratic convention, the floor booed the idea of recognizing Jerusalem as
Israel's capital. In 2016, they fought over Palestinian rights. Top
presidential contenders boycotted the AIPAC conference and threatened to use
aid to pressure Israel. Biden was part of the team that forged an Iran nuclear
deal. What's notable is that US Democrats are parting with the people of
Israel”.
What this passage amounts to
is a stunning admission of treason by the editors of the New York Post. They no
longer use subtle language to express their love for Israel and hatred for an
America that refuses to continue sacrificing the welfare of its people to
satisfy the caprices of Israel's Jews.
The editors of the New York
Post have reached the point of expressing their insolence in-your-face to
stress the burning desire that when it comes to making choices, the voting
public and the convention delegates and the politicians of America must never
part with the people of Israel by voting their conscience.
What America must do instead,
say the editors of the New York Post, is take their cues from Israel's Jewish
electorate. It is the only thing that counts, after all.
And that, my friend, is what
cements the notion that the editors of the New York Post are unrepentant
ideological traitors to America and to the American people.
