What's the difference between getting the hint and getting the message? You get a hint when something that is subtle does not escape your attention. You get the message when something addressed to you must be forcefully stated to catch your attention.
What if the thing still does
not catch your attention? In this case, there is a short story that tells how
normal people view the situation. Because it is believed that the mule is the
most difficult animal to alert, the way to catch its attention, is to hit it on
the head with a two by four … so goes the story.
Okay; that's good to know. But
what if that does not catch someone's attention either? Well then, in this
case, the chances are that you're trying to catch the attention of a Jew. And
let me tell you, that's a tough nut to crack. However, you must differentiate
between the rank-and-file Jews who are making the effort to join the human race
by being like everyone else, and the fanatic Jews who continue to believe they
were chosen by God to own the planet and everything in it.
The latter kind are tuned to
their inner voice at the exclusion of everything else. They hear the talk that
has indoctrinated them since childhood, and believe it is the voice of God. And
no matter what you do to catch their attention, you can be certain they will
not turn away from what they believe is God, to listen to you.
The way this attitude is
expressed in real life, is that the people who embrace it, continually demand
being accorded the privileges enjoyed by others, but not the obligations that
come with them. This is why you see the mob of Jewish pundits and the foot
soldiers they command, always demand the enactment of Jew-specific laws granting
them new privileges. They ask for it on the ground that they are a special
case, and that such laws will help foster a better understanding between them
and the rest of society. They keep demanding, in fact, despite knowing that
nobody is fooled by such assertions and that everyone knows these laws cause
the opposite effect of what they are expected to accomplish.
Instead of doing what normal
people do, which is to accept the inevitable, get used to it and put the ordeal
behind them, the fanatic Jews keep fighting to the death. They always work on
having the laws that do not suit them repealed or at least amended. And as you
may have guessed, the law is not the only practice the Jews seek to refashion
and make it serve their causes. There is the matter of foreign policy, which
they feel is in their purview; a field they believe they are obligated to redo
from top to bottom. This is especially true in their view because Israel has
been added to the list of their responsibilities.
This brings us to an editorial
of National Review Online (NRO). It came under the title: “Biden's Policy of
Weakness Toward Iran,” and was published on February 21, 2021. The subject
discussed by the editors is a complicated one because it is about survival. It
involved half a dozen major powers who acted on behalf of humanity, and worked
to resolve a nuclear issue that has been festering for at least a decade.
When you have a situation as
delicate and as complicated as this, the last thing you want to do is add to
the stress that's already burdening the negotiators. You want them to have a
clear mind so that they can work calmly and arrive at the appropriate
decisions. But it is obvious that the negotiators' peace of mind was not what
the NRO editors had in mind. When you go over their piece of work, you are
haunted by the image of Roman soldiers whipping slaves chained to the deck of a
ship, and screaming at them: Faster, faster. Ramming speed, ramming speed.
The Jews have opposed the
nuclear deal from the moment that 5 permanent members of the Security Council
and Iran, started to negotiate. The Jews opposed the deal after it was signed,
sealed and delivered. They took advantage of a deficiency in the system of
governance called liberal democracy, and had one administration pull out of a
deal that a previous administration spent much time and effort realizing for
the sake of the human race, and all life forms on Planet Earth.
And now that the mischievous
administration has been tossed out of power by the voters, a move that brought
back to power the administration that negotiated the deal, the NRO editors are
at it again trying to fight to the death against the will of the billions who
want nothing more than to live a nuclear free healthy life.
It is not too difficult to
understand that after all what happened over the years, returning to the
negotiating table will be an awkward undertaking. It is normal, therefore, that
under such circumstances, the parties will begin talking their maximal
positions before they sit down and compromise.
This is a time for the rest of
us to keep quiet lest we derail the effort. The advice also applies to all
those having a megaphone and the potential to cause mischief. But do you think
the editors of NRO care about that? Not on your life. Look how they ended their
editorial:
“Already, the Iranian foreign
minister has reiterated his demands for sanctions relief as a prerequisite for
any talks about US reentry into the deal. Unless Biden is forceful in pushing
back on Iran's tests of his resolve, more will come”.
This is no time for outsiders to meddle. The two sides are engaged in the ritual dance that precedes getting to the table for a new round of hard negotiations. Leave them alone; they know what to do.
