What’s wrong with people who are supposedly highly educated, making asses of themselves under the influence of an ideological fanaticism that grips them so tightly, they are left with no willpower to explore alternatives to the unworkable plans they suggest for solving the problems of the day?
Take the case of Alan Dershowitz who is professor
emeritus at a law school, and that of Andrew Stein who once served as New York
City Council president. The two coauthored a piece which came under the title:
“Biden and Netanyahu must put aside their differences and work to stop Iran,”
published in the New York Post on December 21, 2022.
Dershowitz and Stein should know that a discussion about
Iran leaves some people indifferent while capturing the interest of other
people; those who would hang on to every word that’s said the way that
choirboys hang on to the words uttered by the preacher. Thus, the situation
that Dershowitz and Stein face, is that of preaching to the choir while at the
same time wasting their breath on a portion of the audience that prefers being
entertained by a different show.
Let’s take an example of what the authors are saying, and
imagine its effect on the two parts of the audience. Here is the example: “A
nuclear-armed Iran would not only pose an existential danger to Israel — it
would threaten America’s other allies in the Gulf and beyond. A big reason
several Arab nations were willing to sign on to the Abraham Accords was a
common fear of an aggressive Iran determined to control the entire region”.
To the indifferent audience, the matter of one nation in
the Middle East, or a group of them threatening another nation or a group
thereof, is of no importance to them — they who already fear what threatens
them in America as they see the security situation in the cities deteriorate
day after day.
As to the choirboys that have amassed a fair amount of
knowledge about the subject matter, they’ll feel like their intelligence was
insulted by the Dershowitz-Stein proposition alleging that the reason why
Arab nations signed on to the Abraham Accords was their fear of an aggressive
Iran. Well, anyone that knows the geography of the region, knowns that Iran is
separated from Morocco — a signatory to the Accords — by half the continent of
Asia to which is added the entire width of the African continent. This makes
the authors’ proposition as absurd as it can ever get.
The two authors proceeded from there to speculate, and to
make other assertions with a validity that tells you they have not the
slightest idea what they are talking about. In fact, to make the argument that
Israel will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear capability, they offered the
following implausible speculation: “Israel will do what’s necessary to prevent
that from happening, much as it did in Iraq and Syria, where it bombed nuclear
facilities.” No, Israel will not do as it did in Iraq or Syria because it
cannot.
To begin with, the Jews are repeatedly making the
accusation that Iran is mastering the fuel cycle because it is necessary to
build a nuclear arsenal. The Jews have also observed that Iran is hiding its
facilities underground while protecting them with a formidable array of ground
to air missiles.
In contrast, neither Iraq nor Syria were working on a
nuclear weapons program. Thus their facilities were not protected, making them
easy targets to a cannibalistic predator that came unannounced in the middle of
the night. In fact, Israel’s attacks came as a complete surprise to Iraq, Syria
and the world whereas now, there has been so much fanfare about Israel’s wishful
thinking concerning the Iran situation, the world knows – as do the Iranians –
that there will be no Israeli attack. Thus, the situation will remain an Israeli
exercise in wishful thinking.
In fact, even Alan Dershowitz and Andrew Stein know that,
which is why they segued to an argument in which they dragged America into the
discussion in preparation to making a plea that America enter the fray, and do
the job that Israel cannot do. Here is how the two authors made their
presentation: “But if Iran is intransigent, will the United States make it known to
the mullahs that we [Americans] would participate in a military strike against
Iran’s nuclear facilities?”
And here is how Dershowitz and Stein began to plead their
case: “If
Iran is convinced that this is the strength of our commitment, it will be more
likely to terminate its weaponization program and seek relief from the
sanctions that are weighing down its economy.” But getting the feeling that
this is not going to work as well as they wish it would, they fell back on the
use of the Jewish haggle to make the Right vs Left political points which they
feel will be more persuasive. Here is what they said:
“At the moment, Iran does not believe that the Biden
administration, influenced by the Democrats’ increasingly radical left-wing
elements, would take such action. Iranian leaders are betting that Israel’s new
right-wing government will alienate the Biden administration to such a degree
that the president will not be willing to cooperate against Iran”.
This done, Dershowitz and Stein lifted the veil on a
mystery that puzzled the world for decades: How was it that the Jews were able
to take command of America’s decision making process by driving the wedge
between the parties when it came to working for the American people, but achieved
a bipartisan agreement when it came to serving Israel? Good question, and here
is the answer:
“It is important, therefore, that both the Biden and
Netanyahu governments marginalize the extreme elements among their supporters
so as not to let them influence an issue on which our two nations should remain
united”.
In other words, the Jews said: Screw the Liberal Democratic
system which gives power to the elected representatives. The Jews commanded
that these people be marginalize, and went on to explain that the imperative issue
America must agree on with Israel’s ruling clique, is the well being of Israel.
Period.
It was as simple as you can see. The Jews said they
wanted to monopolize America, and the American Congress responded: Yes, master
Jew. We hear and we obey. America is yours and yours alone.
