When was the last time all the countries in the world got together to condemn one single country. Yes, there have been times when the United Nations, that well known cesspool of dictators, thugs, killers, and other assorted miscreants, was able to pass a resolution with the majority of the voting states condemning some nation for something or other. Usually that denunciation meant bullcrap, and the world went on as usual, the condemned generally not stopping to even take a breath or giving a damn.
But I’m talking here about the entire freaking world voting as a block, even including those genius inventors of socialism, communism, Nazism and fascism, the Europeans, whom we can’t wait to emulate. Even the United States of America agrees to condemn this one single country.
Maybe that one single country was North Korea. They certainly deserve to be condemned. Didn’t they just recently attack another country by deliberately and wantonly destroying a capital warship without any warning, killing 46 sailors and injuring many others, in what was actually an act of war? And didn’t they secretly try to build a nuclear weapons production plant in Syria? No, that’s not the one.
Or maybe it was Iran. They also deserve to be condemned. Aren’t they in the process of building a nuclear weapon that they will likely use to blackmail the rest of the world and aren’t they, along with North Korea, the most aggressive and transparent supporters of world-wide terrorism, including the proactive killing of American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan? And haven’t they stated flat out that their goal is the destruction of a specific western democracy and member of the United Nations? No, that’s not the one.
Could it be Sudan? Talk about deserving to be condemned. Isn’t their leadership responsible for the deliberate killing, starving and actually selling into slavery of about a million of its own citizens in Darfur over the past 20 years and have not yet stopped even to eat a sandwich? No, not them either?
What about Cuba or Venezuela, subjugating their own people and exporting Communism and supporting terrorism in Ecuador, Bolivia, Brazil and other Latin American nations and otherwise attempting to create instability everywhere? They deserve to be condemned too. But no, neither of them are “the one.”
Or what about Burma or Belarus or Zimbabwe or any number of other countries led by disgusting and degenerate leaders? Nope, don’t be a fool, fool!
No, “the one” could only be tiny Israel, the land of the Jews. So here’s a country of 7.5 million souls, not all of them Jews by the way, that occupies land about the size of perhaps New Jersey, surrounded by 1.5 billion (that’s billion with a “b”) Arabs and Muslims occupying land stretching from the banks of Western Africa to Indonesia, and all those latter people’s fondest wish is to see all the Jews dead. And with all the malice that can be mustered, now it seems that the rest of the world feels the same way.
How else can the events of the past two weeks be explained? How is it that Israel is not universally viewed as the victim here? Any rational and thoughtful person should normally see it that way, no? Why is it that Hamas, the Palestinians or the Turks are not being condemned?
The killers in Hamas and Hezbollah, both proxy armies of Iran, have been engaged in war against the civilian Israeli population for the past several decades. A summary of the atrocities perpetuated against Israel could literally fill a book, but one need not concentrate on that to get the full flavor of the injustice here. Hamas and Hezbollah have been firing rockets indiscriminately into Israeli population centers for years with the intent of killing as many innocent civilian men, women and children as possible. Over 10,000 rockets have been fired by Hamas alone, which makes perverse sense since the Hamas charter calls for the elimination of Israel no matter how long it takes. It actually says that. It’s like part of their depraved constitution.
To put that into some perspective, what do you suppose the response of the United States would be if a terrorist army in Tijuana began lobbing hundreds of mortar shells into downtown San Diego? What is it you would expect the leaders of the United States would do? Would you expect no action, maybe just talk and negotiation with the bad guys? I personally would expect, assuming Barack Obama were not president, an American military response, directed by a conservative American Commander-in-Chief that would be immediate and adjudicated with ferocity and maximum prejudice. That would seem about right to me, and hopefully to you too.
Then why does the world expect Israel to act differently, to not act in self-defense, to not protect their population and sovereignty? Why is it that Israel must compromise while their enemies do not and, in fact, never have? Why must Israel unilaterally return land, taken in war to provide a buffer for protection, to those that then immediately use that territory to assault their civilian populations? Why does the world make excuses for the terrorists and condemns Israel for “atrocities?” Why isn’t Russia ever held to account for their treatment of the people of Chechnya, or China for the people of Tibet?
The reason is simple. It’s because the all the world hates the Jews.
Even here in the United States, our leaders and mainstream liberal media condemned Israel with the smartest woman in the world, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, saying our government supports the UN resolution calling for condemnation and investigations into Israel’s untoward actions, as if we would allow the UN to investigate our actions in Afghanistan, for instance. In her statement on the subject Clinton asked absolutely nothing of the Turks or their radical Islamist leader. She only asked Israel to account. And what I found to be particularly insidious was Clinton’s repeated uses of the phrases “peace activists” and “humanitarian aid” to describe what was supposedly being delivered to the Palestinians. That was a total fraud. Only stupid people, or willfully blind people, or those that hate Jews would continue to use those deceitful and duplicitous descriptions since the flotilla represented absolutely nothing of the kind.
So why would our government buy into this hateful effort to hurt a trusted and long-standing ally?
My guess is the Obama regime has no use for allies or friends or western coalitions. He’s just simply more comfortable with socialists and Marxists. Obama’s apology tour of the world, ending with his Cairo speech in which he denounced America, reveals his contempt for the United Sates and its exceptionalism and allows him to seek friendships with enemies and antagonism toward friends. It’s the Chicago way, or maybe it’s worse.
Maybe that’s why Obama double-crossed the Poles and Czechs by embracing instead Russia’s attitude toward missile defense, for which he received absolutely nothing in return. Maybe that’s why Obama chose to directly align himself with the dictators Hugo Chavez and the Castro brothers and against the lawful actions of the democratic Honduras Supreme Court when they ousted their communist leader. Maybe that’s why Obama had no problem siding with the Argentines, and against the UK, in the recent trouble over the Falkland Islands, and also humiliating Nickolas Sarkozy of France by continually blowing him off instead of meeting with the French as Sarkozy requested.
And how could anyone forget the humiliation foisted on Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, who among other acts of arrogance and disdain for Israel, was left by Obama, alone in a White House anteroom, while Obama went to dinner with his family with instructions that Netanyahu think over his own stubbornness, as if he were a petulant child. How Netanyahu, a no-nonsense former Israeli commando who has actually faced death straight-out, had the presence of mind not to reach over and smack some sense and manners into Obama is beyond me.
But what we’re seeing here is the serious weakening of the United States, with dangerous implications and consequences for the future. Brazil and Turkey make a deal to help Iran constitute uranium and neither country doesn’t care a whit what the United States thinks. That would have been unthinkable under either of the Bushes or Reagan or possibly even Bill Clinton. But our enemies are watching this spectacle unfold; they’re taking notes, they sense weakness of Obama and blood in the water, they know the United States is afraid to act, even in its own self-interest. Our allies meanwhile sense a lack of trust and commitment and discipline of purpose, and are justifiably very worried.
And that American weakness is what leads to efforts by the forces of evil to send flotillas to arm Hamas right out in the open, or sink ally warships, or kill American soldiers, because the entire world knows the United States has become a paper tiger under Barack Obama. The entire world knows we will do absolutely nothing.
Does the world believe the United States would retaliate or come to the aid of Israel if it’s attacked with nuclear weapons by Iran? The answer would have to be no, no? Does anyone actually believe Obama would lift a finger to save the Jewish State from total destruction (or for that matter, save Taiwan from a Chinese invasion)?
And that’s what the bad guys think too. And that’s what makes Iran becoming a nuclear power so dangerous. And don’t the Jews really deserve universal and world-wide condemnation anyway?
So what Hitler ultimately failed to do, the Iranians might actually get away with. All the green lights point that way. The runway is being cleared. No one will try to stop them. The world has reconciled their hatred of the Jews. The Final Solution is only moments away.
And that’s all there is to it.
