Arlene from Israel: More Light, in the Midst of Darkness

Michael L.

Our friend Shirlee of Jews Down Under has published a piece by Arlene from Israel entitled, More Light, in the Midst of Darkness.

Here is the opening:

We here in Israel we speak a good deal these days about a world arrayed against us – a world ready to do business with Iran for self-serving reasons. In doing my writing, I have been remiss in not mentioning Canada, under the leadership of Prime Minster Steven Harper (pictured below). Israel has no better friend in the world. What is more, Harper has come out against both Iran and Islamic State – refusing to lift sanction against the former, and sending troops against the latter.

I recommend that you guys give this a read.

The Iran deal emphatically must be opposed.

If anyone wants to read true Propagandized historical fiction prepare to be disgusted.

It would take a whole F'ING book to derail all the out right lies and deception covered in it.

"I try to be fair, but not at the cost of calling a spade a spade. My sympathies lie with those who are suffering and it has disproportionately been Palestinians for the vast majority of the past 70 years. "

At that point my patience ran out. I try to be fair, but he's a sexual thrill seeking asshole.

I have an old idea that's rattling around in my head for few months. I remember back in 98 or 99 a colleague of mine who worked at the US Army War College handed me a paper that had been recently published by the PLA (PRC Army) and translated into English. A seminal work called "Unrestricted Warfare". You can get it for free online or a bound version on Amazon for money. It's a very important piece of research because it states essentially how the PRC will wage 'war' (intentionally in quotes) as a strategic value to push its influence and power over the world deeper and wider. It says what they will do and how they will do it.

The thrust of the thesis is that 21st warfare is multiaxial. Neither symmetric nor asymmetric. Neither political nor military nor economic, nor legal, nor diplomatic nor cyber nor waged in the media. But ALL of them simultaneously. Each with a different cadence and purpose but all unified to a common set of strategic goals. Further it makes no distinction between civilians and soldiers, politicians or the electorate, states or non state actors. But all of them like lego pieces that snap in and out as needed.

For decades Israel fought symmetric/symmetric war against nation states and did quite well that way only to find that their enemies decided to shift to an asymmetric approach that could work tactically but only worked to enforce a strategic stalemate. For decades Israel has fought a symmetric/asymmetric war against what writers like Bernard Fall would call a classic guerrilla body; part asymmetric, part political, part media, part terrorist.

There are two primary failures with this. 1) it's primarily defensive in nature. Save your cities, your civilians. At a very high cost. And 2) It loses the strategic advantage. In fact is has no strategic advantage at all., It doesn't purport to 'do' anything apart from 'don't lose'.

So the challenge it seems is how to wage 'unrestricted war' against its enemies.What does that entail? Well back of the envelope, a few thing.

Destruction of electronic financial instruments and assets
Cyberwarfare
Destruction of material assets
False flag eg 'pseudo terrorism'
Legal warfare
Diplomatic warfare
Classic warfare
Police oriented warfare

All simultaneously and all in an offensive posture at all times. The context has to be strategic goals not defensive goals.

More on this later

Barack Obama on the so-called "Arab Spring" (May 19, 2011):

"There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. In America, think of the defiance of those patriots in Boston who refused to pay taxes to a King, or the dignity of Rosa Parks as she sat courageously in her seat."

The "Arab Spring" was the brutal rise of political Islam in the Middle East and this is what Obama compares the Civil Rights Movement to?

How's that for a kick in the head to Martin Luther King, Jr.?

The Fundamental Argument:

The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.

Such venues include political journals, such as, but not limited to, Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, and the UK Guardian, numerous universities throughout the United States and Europe, various NGOs with an anti-Israel agenda, and the entire progressive-left movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish people of the state of Israel.

These venues and organizations do not generally criticize Israel, but dehumanize that country.

For this reason, among others, the progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, undermines the well-being and safety of Jews around the world, sometimes resulting in violence toward us.

Therefore, as a matter of common sense and basic human decency, Jews should leave the progressive movement and the Democratic Party as we seek to build alternative political structures that are not home to toxic anti-Semitic anti-Zionists, who would see us robbed of self-determination and self-defense.

What You Can't Discuss:

This is a partial list of taboo topics within progressive-left venues around the Arab-Israel conflict. You cannot discuss this material because it undermines the "Palestinian narrative" of perpetual victimhood. This narrative is a club used by the Arab and Muslim enemies of Israel, along with their western progressive allies, to delegitimize that country in preparation for its eventual dissolution.

1) The centuries of Jewish dhimmitude under the boot of Islamic imperialism.

2) The recent construction of Palestinian identity, its connection to Soviet Cold War politics, and how this is an Arab people with a Roman name that refers to Greeks.

3) Arab and Palestinian Koranically-based racism as the fundamental source of the conflict.

4) The ways in which contemporary progressive anti-Zionism serves as a cloak for gross anti-Semitism.

5) The Palestinian theft and appropriation of Jewish history.

6) "Pallywood."

7) The historical connections between the Nazis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Palestinian national movement.

8) The perpetual refusal of the Palestinian-Arabs to accept a state for themselves in peace next to the Jewish one.

9) The progressive portrayal of terrorists as those fighting a righteous war of "resistance."

10) The Arab-Palestinian indoctrination of children with Jew hatred.

11) Human rights violations against women, children, and Gay people in the Muslim Middle East.

12) The fact that violent Jihadis call themselves "Jihadis" and claim to love death above life.

This is only a partial list, so please let us know the many more that we are missing.
