When the horror of the 9-11 attack happened in America the U.S.
immediately attacked Afghanistan with all the might and the power
that we could possibly find. There were no Jews in America who
proudly called themselves “leftist” on the subject. If you heard
one Hollywood-drenched extremist liberal who protested America’s
super bombs over Afghanistan he was immediately drowned out as a
maniac, a spy or a traitor.
So why is it that when Israel suffers the loss of hundreds of
innocent lives on a daily basis Jews all over the world suddenly
become divided between “left” and “right”? What is the sickness
that these leftists Jews suffer from? What kind of mental paralysis
or perversion creates such warped behavior?
The same qualities that have made the Jews historically the
greatest humanitarians have ironically made the Jews also the
world’s easiest victims. They feel so uncomfortable about hurting
anybody that even if a suicide bomber could be hurt while killing a
hundred Jews there are thousands of Jewish “leftists” who are
convinced that it is our own fault. Somehow if we were
compassionate enough we would find a way to solve the problem
without making a murderer suffer just because his only crime is
killing Jewish people. This historically profound Jewish “guilt
trip” has turned the most intellectual Jews into idiots. If the
violence committed against the Israelis were happening to any other
people, is it conceivable that the same leftist Jews would be
justifying it?
Hypothetically, if Canada sent suicide bombers into America
wantonly killing people, would Jewish university professors’ brains
calcify enough to justify it? Somehow, only when Jews are involved,
the “guilt trip” creates a vacuum in the brain in which no form of
reason could exist. Our leftist Jews will create any fantasy to
blame Israel. “It’s our own fault, you can’t occupy another country
for so long without suffering the consequences” is the most
sickening of the their perversions of reality. This proves that the
same Jews who read enough to hold Ph.D.’s in ancient history are
somehow incapable of ever reading a newspaper. The problem is not
that they don’t know the truth. The Jewish problem is that they
don’t want to hear or see the truth. Because if they didn’t suffer
from an uncontrollable need to blame the Jews they would find it
impossible to ignore what every breathing person knows: that Barak
offered the Palestinians 98% of their land back and that the
pleasure of having their own home meant nothing to them compared to
the thrill of killing our people.
This same kind of Jewish guilt has even paralyzed the minds of
the Israelis. Otherwise why did it take so long for successive
governments of Israel to see through the fraudulent charade of
Yasser Arafat? Through all the years that he was a partner in crime
we blindly chose to see him as a partner for peace. How many times
did Israeli prime ministers travel the world for peace conferences
with Arafat while he was masterminding the murder of our own people
in Israel? Why did the President of the United States of America,
George Bush, stop talking to Arafat while the heads of our country
still wonder and waiver and flounder about his usefulness to the
peace process? Why did Arik Sharon suffer the rejection of the
Israelis for so many years while being vilified as a “hard liner”
or even a “war monger”? And why are there so many Israelis who even
now respect the anti-Semitic attacks of the Europeans and say that
Sharon is undermining the “peace process” by viciously “going too
far”?
The answer is that the real “war mongers” are the so-called
“peaceniks.” The best way to needlessly lose Jewish lives is to be
so blinded by Jewish guilt that you can’t see a murderer for what
he is. He came to kill, and he doesn’t deserve conversation, he
deserves elimination!
