Commentary -- Will Israel Die Just As It Was Born?

Commentary - The ramifications of the news that Israelis are beginning to
be
purged from the Pentagon and that this may well be a prelude to the
dismissal
and perhaps even the arrest of Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle for
leaking
information on special forces are huge. It does not take a great leap to
discern that the loudest accusations of anti-Semitism imaginable would
result
from said dismissal, but the paralells to another case involving treason
by a
Jewish military officer are all to clear.
In 1895, Colonel Alfred Dreyfuss of France was tried and convicted of
selling
vital secrets to Germany that were central to its victory in the
Franco-Prussian
War. Dreyfuss was innocent, but he was targeted not because he was
Jewish, he
was simply targeted by his rivals in the French army, and they merely
exploited
anti-Semitism to achieve their ends. The debacle resulting from Dreyfuss'
conviction touched a chord among many Jews, not least of which was
Theodore
Herzl, whose book Judenstaat indirectly gave birth to Zionism.
Unlike Dreyfuss, Wolfowitz and Perle are guilty of their crimes, but
overreaction to the slightest hint of anti-Semitism is just as ripe now as
it
was then, and in fact the anti-haters will be prone to exploit popular
sentiment in the face of Wolfowitz and Perle's dismissal just as it was
exploited by the French in their purely political trial against Dreyfuss.
The
fall of the Zionist faction of the Pentagon is only a reflection of the
ever
growing isolation of radical Zionism in America and even in Europe, and
this is
evidenced by the brutal escalation of Israel's pogroms in Palestine being
met
only with the brutal escalation of condemnation by the world, including
and
especially from America.
The paralells to the Dreyfuss affair that would surely be exploited by the
radical Zionists would only be rewarded with further ridicule and
isolation.
With Israel on the brink of chaos of the kind that even it has not ever
had to
deal with, it is ever more apparent that Israel will die just as it was
born -
out of the Jews' childish whining about their inadequacies at imperialism.
Just as the Holocaust constituted divine punishment for the Jews'
imperialist
ambitions, so it is that Israel is a most clever punishment on God's part
for
not learning our lesson at Auschwitz and Dachau.
