If extraterrestrials were to ever visit our planet, they would have a devil of a time understanding it. Most befuddling would be this strange little misshapen political entity known as “Israel”.
Carved out of the heart of the Middle East through blood and sweat by hundreds of thousands of Jews seeking to end the millennia-old oppression they suffered at the hands of gentiles, the state was meant to once and for all terminate the insidious baron-serf relationship through which Jews were always dominated by gentiles in every country both Muslim and Christian; politically, economically, and socially.
This movement to make a state, known contemporarily as Zionism, came about largely as a reaction to the failure of the gentile-initiated Emancipation in Europe, which freed Jews as individuals but not as a collective from age-old oppression.
What then would an outsider, uninitiated in the finer points of contemporary politics, make of this state, Israel groveling to Biden and Hillary Clinton in a pitiful attempt to apologize over the construction of homes in its capital???
Sadly, this is nothing new. From the get-go the Jewish establishment in Israel related to the US as the new Baron for the Jewish collective. The Zionist movement, originally meant to terminate the master-slave relationship now merely sought to replace the old European and Arab masters with a new American one.
American demands on Israel are always the same: give up land to your sworn enemies who seek your destruction. The territories demanded change with time, but only because Israel’s borders miraculously expand faster than American efforts to reduce them. From 1948 onward the demand was that Israel surrender the Negev (about half of the state of Israel). After 1967 the demand shifted to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, Gaza, the Golan, and Sinai.
One of the most pernicious actions of the US, however, has been its refusal since 1948, to recognize Israeli control over WEST Jerusalem as well as its status as the capital of Israel from 1950 on. The issue of relocating the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem did not begin after the 1967 War, it began in 1953 when the Israeli Foreign Ministry relocated to Jerusalem, following the earlier relocation of the Knesset. The US State Dept. to this day will not recognize any part of Jerusalem as Israeli territory, and all passports listing Jerusalem as place of birth have “Israel” removed.
The message is clear and astounding: it is not the “unsettled borders” of east Jerusalem that prevent American recognition of Israeli control, but Israeli control per se of any part of Jerusalem, east or west, that is not recognized. America, the alleged ally of Israel, doesn’t even recognize its control of its capital!
How then could one explain to the uninformed observer the Prime Minister of the allegedly free state of Israel groveling to an ally which doesn’t recognize the most basic right of a free state – the building of homes in its territory?
