Jewish Americans living in America, such as Clifford D. May, have both a Jewish problem and an American problem. It is that when they discuss Jewish matters, they aggravate their Jewish problems, and when they discuss American matters, they aggravate their American problems.
The reality is that the sociocultural ecosphere in that
country has become so saturated with Jewish matters, ordinary Americans choke
with every breath they take-in, and no longer hide their annoyance at being
forced to live under such conditions. They demand to be relieved of Jewish
stories and images like those inflicted on them via the television screens and
pages of print media.
As well, when those that have acquired the reputation of
being diehard warmongers, such as happened to Clifford May, and they write
pieces that flaunt their warmongering credentials, ordinary Americans feel
annoyed at being represented by individuals that do not reflect their thinking.
And these ordinaries happen to express their annoyance evermore forcefully
these days.
It happens eventually – when all is said and done – that someone
puts two and two together, and discovers that all those like Clifford May, get
into the business of warmongering, not to standup to foreign armies stacked
against America, but to prepare the superpower at doing the dirty work that
Israel wants done but cannot do for itself. And this is when the expression of
antisemitism erupts in the open both in the social media and the public places
which are cohabited by Jews and gentiles.
Clifford May’s latest column displays the kind of
thinking that baffles people, and forces them to seek interpretations that differ
from those of the author. The column came under the Title: “Losing Latin
America,” and the subtitle: “U.S. retreats while China’s Communist rulers advance.” It was published
on April 18, 2023 in The Washington Times.
Like everybody else, Clifford May and all those like him,
seem to be equipped with two eyes. Unlike everybody else, however, Clifford May
and all those like him can look at one and the same thing, yet see a different
thing with each eye. That’s what you’ll conclude is the problem with these
people after you’ve finished reading Clifford May’s article.
You’ll discover to your surprise that May looks at China
with one eye and sees a saint, then looks at the same China with the other eye
and sees the devil. However, the surprise dissipates when you realize that the
eye seeing a saint is that of a humanity which is beginning to see China as a
benevolent force. More and more countries embrace the work that the Asian giant
is doing to pacify the world, and seek to establish friendly relations with it.
As to the other eye, it is that of Clifford May, which is
why he sees a devil when looking at China through it. In fact, it becomes
obvious to you and to all readers that the more humanity comes to view China as
a saint, the more people like Clifford May come to see it as the devil. This is
the expression of fear and hatred that a declining power naturally develops for
a rising rival.
The following is a condensed compilation of the passages
in Clifford May’s article that show how the world’s view of China mingle with
the Jewish American view to produce the image of a Chinese saint that the world
loves, as well as the image of a Chinese devil that Jewish Americans hate:
“Mr. Xi’s doctrine may be Asia First, but it’s not Asia Only. The leader
of the most powerful Communist Party in history has global ambitions. In the
Middle East, Mr. Xi has brokered a rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Riyadh also recently approved partial membership in the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization, a Beijing-led political and security bloc that includes Russia
and India. In Africa, China is a major economic power. Brazilian President is
paying a visit to China. Brazil has been drifting away from the US and toward
China for years. The same is true of many other South American nations. China
is South America’s top trading partner and a major source of foreign investment
and lending. The CCP is alleged to routinely meddle in elections to achieve the
outcomes it seeks. Chinese diplomats are not staunch opponents of corruption.
Cuba remains unfree and hostile to the US, with leverage over the Venezuelan
and Nicaraguan regimes. President Lula, disregarding US disapproval, permitted
two Iranian warships to dock in Rio de Janeiro for a one-week stay”.
But then, having painted these two pictures of China, Clifford May fails
to even suggest what America can and should do to compete successfully against
China, thus continue to lead the world as it has been doing during the previous
few decades. Instead, the following platitudes are all that Clifford May was
able to offer his readers:
“Does it matter if Brazil and its neighbors pivot away from the US and
toward an expanding geopolitical ecosystem that includes Tehran and Moscow,
with Beijing. Americans can decide that it doesn’t, that only Taiwan is of
serious concern, or that, unlike China, we’re incapable of tackling more than
one national security challenge at a time. But it would be wise for us to think
hard about what that choice will mean for America’s future, not to mention that
of the wider world”.
