When the first Israeli Parliament met shortly after
World War II, "the Right" was still identified with
Hitler and Mussolini. This led to an immediate practical
problem. No one in the new Israeli Parliament would
sit on the political right.
Today the Likkud Party rules Israel and it is a
party of the right. If you think about it a minute,
you will understand why that is the case, and why
it is important to see the reason for this.
Meanwhile, Jews in New York are still solidly leftist,
as are Jews everywhere else. So what's so special
about Jews in Israel?
Jews in Israel are the first Jews in over two thousands
years who are the ruling majority. All that time,
Jewish politics has been based on hate. Jews have
been hated and, contrary to the Politically Correct
orthodoxy, they have hated in return.
But in Israel, Jews must not just hate, they must
govern. They cannot afford to dedicate themselves
to hating the ruling majority in Israel because
they ARE the ruling majority in Israel.
What Israelis do in New York is aimed at punishing
the white gentile majority. They go for integration
and busing, they take the side of criminals in solidarity
against the law-abiding majority. They demand open
borders so that they can be on the side of outsiders
against the ruling white gentile majority.
Every political stance backed by the Jewish voting
bloc outside Israel is aimed at hurting the ruling
majority in that country. The last thing that bloc
votes for is something that WORKS.
That's the way Israel started, too. But they discovered
that leftism is national suicide.
National suicide may be fine for everybody else,
but not for the Jewish homeland.

A POINT
RESPECTABLE CONSERVATIVES CANNOT UNDERSTAND: OUT
IS NOT IN
|
The Likkud Party just voted that it will never ever
accept a separate sovereign Palestinian state under
any conditions whatsoever. It did that despite the
vehement opposition of its own ruling Prime Minister
Sharon, who is not exactly a noted moderate himself.
Netanyahu is likely to be the next Prime Minister
of Israel, and he is attacking the rightist Sharon
from Sharon's RIGHT. Netanyahu proposes to build
a wall to keep Palestinians OUT of Israel.
First let me explain that that word OUT is in caps
for a very good reason. A wall to keep people OUT
is a right-wing solution. Walls to keep people IN
are a leftist solution. Libertarians and respectable
conservatives are too dumb to know the difference,
so let me explain it again very briefly.
Our kind of rightist policy WORKS. It produces
a place that everybody wants to GET INTO, like the
United States. Leftist countries are run on policies
that never WORK, so everybody wants OUT.
Communist countries always have walls to kill people
for trying to get OUT. The United States has a Border
Patrol and walls on its southern border to keep
Mexicans from getting IN. Libertarians state loudly
that there is no difference keeping people OUT and
keeping people IN.
Prison walls keep prisoners IN and non-felons OUT.
Guards keep the cons INSIDE, but they will also
keep you from going IN. Nonetheless, there is a
difference between being IN prison and OUT OF prison.
Please note I have to belabor this difference,
which no child would have any trouble with, because
libertarians STILL cannot understand it.

SEGREGATION
TODAY, SEGREGATION TOMORROW, SEGREGATION FOREVER!
|
|
Now to the awful truth: what Netanyahu is proposing is
a permanent state of segregation between Jews and Arabs.
Us old segregationists used to wear a white button with
five letters on it written in blue: NEVER. Everything
we said would happen with integration is exactly what
happened with integration. I leave it to all the other
self-styled Southern Spokemen to beg forgiveness for having
opposed integration and saying it wasn't a wonderful idea.
It was NEVER a good idea, so there is no reason for me
to join the Southern Crawl (THE
SOUTHERN CRAWL DOESN'T WORK--September 23, 2000).
So when the Likkud Party said "Never!," it touched a
chord.
On the other hand, I have made it very, very clear that
I have strong and lifelong Arab sympathies (September
13, 2001 - MY
ARAB SYMPATHIES).
I can understand militant Arabs and I can understand
militant Israelis. It is the Generally Accepted Position
(GAP) which all the respectable people accept that is
utterly ridiculous.

WHY
THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED POSITION (GAP) ON ISRAEL IS INSANE
|
|
In some cases, moderation is insane. One of these cases
is Israel.
You see, the GAP on Israel says that the Arabs are the
only religious fanatics. The rest of us are moderates.
But you cannot say that God Almighty has taken a homeland
away from one religious group and God Almighty has given
that homeland to another religious group unless you are
a religious fanatic. But if neither religious group involved
is YOUR religious group, you are not only a religious
nutcase; you are a UNIQUE religious nutcase in a world
history that is crammed full of religious fanatics.
To support Israel, self-styled "Christians" have to insist
that God Almighty took their homeland away from Moslems
because of their religion and God Almighty gave that country
to Jews. That is not only religious fanaticism, but it
is a fanaticism so extreme that it is unique in history.
And these so-called "Christians" insist that theirs is
a MODERATE position!
The GAP says that religious fanaticism is moderation.
You can say that ten thousand times - and they have said
it ten thousand times - but it is still absurd.

ON
ISRAEL, ONLY THE "FANATICS" CAN MAKE SENSE
|
|
So the Likkud says they are not going to go halvies with
the Palestinians. God gave it all to them and they took
the whole thing and they're going to keep the whole thing.
That kind of thinking I can understand and respect. Do
I agree with them? Frankly, my dear, the Likkud doesn't
give a damn.
