WALLS

 

Today, hearing on the radio that IDF troops shot and killed a Palestinian at the Palestinian side of a border fence as he was apparently attempting to fix a Hamas flag to the "wall," I was reminded of the East Germans killed as they fled for freedom on the other side of the "wall" that East German communists had put in place over the years of the Cold War. "Pot shots" had occasionally been taken at West Germans on their side of "The Wall," especially when they offered assistance to fleeing Germans. More than a few East Germans were killed as they sought to escape communist rule.

Additionally, there was another similarity between the Israel and the political leadership of East Germany. East Germany, as with most Warsaw Block countries, had a Jewish leadership appointed by Josef Stalin after World War II. The secret police organization, the Stazi, was headed by a Jew named Steiner.

There has been one consistent characteristic of Jewish-controlled countries. Such countries have the appearance of a prison. Everywhere that Jews went during the Stalin regime (and the Lenin regime, as well), they constructed a police state. Jews provided the leadership and enjoyed a higher standard of living than the oppressed native people.

It was the latter aspect that struck so many as consistent with the lifestyle depicted in George Orwell's ANIMAL FARM, where everyone was equal, but some were "more equal" than others.

Of course, people may object to this blog, arguing that the military forces of the Jewish state of Israel (sic) did not kill the Palestinian because he was trying to escape his imprisoned para-country but because he was violating the cease-fire by approaching the farthest limit of the land within the Palestine Authority to affix the Hamas flag.

When a warden in a U.S. prison demands that inmates "freeze" and then "lie on the ground," disobedience may result in the inmate getting shot. This is the objective situation at the border, where IDF forces constitute a "collective warden."

The disparity in martial power between the Israeli state (backed up by the United States) and the impoverished, rock-throwing Palestinians is so great as to constitute a potential massacre at every recurring conflict.

The missiles acquired by Hamas might seem a threat, but the limits of these weapons have been revealed by their lack of substantial damage anywhere in Israel. Killer Bees do more harm in Southwest United States than Hamas-fired missiles.

For Israelis these weapons must appear to be a kind of contemptible insult - a sort of taunt. For this they smite the Palestinians harshly: "Show some respect!"

In the United States the Israelis are treated with the respect that is accorded to cops; they are a thin blue line between decent folks and criminals.

Being a contrarian, I see the Israelis as the criminals. From stolen lands to police state in thirty years, they have proceeded. Josef Stalin would applaud their "iron fists."

No one would be surprised by the quixotic Norwegians bestowing a "Nobel Peace Prize" on Binyamin Netanyahu. The worldsapoppin and the devil must get his due.
