A Night Unto The Nations
By Gilad Atzmon
11-27-9
 
In his latest Haarertz commentary, the Israeli political analyst Yoel Marcus wonders "How Israel became a night unto the nations?" Marcus is obviously nostalgic about the days where the great powers "were not only sympathetic to Israel's establishment, but admired its valor in repulsing the Arab states' onslaught."
 
Proudly, he mentions the 'renowned foreign journalists' who came to Israel in 1948 and wrote "glowing reports about this war of David against Goliath". Noticeably, Marcus fails to mention or to grasp that the expulsion of the indigenous Palestinians from their villages and cities wasn't exactly a repetition of a 'David against Goliath' narrative. Quite the opposite, it was a story of a young organised Jewish army that ethnically cleansed defenseless civilian
population consisting mainly of peasants.
 
As it happens, just three years after the liberation of Auschwitz the newly formed Jewish state ethnically cleansed the vast majority of Palestine's indigenous population. Young IDF soldiers were following a racist doctrine that was categorically no different from the Nazi agenda. It was all about the establishment of a 'Jew only' state. For some peculiar reason Yoel Marcus is convinced that back then Israel was a light unto the nations. Miraculously, the Israelis are pretty efficient in forgetting their original sin. Like their Diaspora ancestors they adopted a banal vision of their historical narrative. This narrative repeats itself in many Jewish and Israeli holidays(1) and is usually described humorously as:
 
'They wanted to kill us, we survived, let's eat'.
 
But times have changed according to Marcus "admiration for Israel's strength gradually turned into resentment". Marcus grasps that "Israel's military might and its unrestrained use of this might have turned the David-versus-Goliath analogy into an asset for the Palestinians." Interestingly enough, Marcus fails to understand that for some time now, the public perception has reversed the roles. In the eyes of Palestinians, Israel has never been an innocent little kosher 'David'. In fact it has always been a crude monstrous genocidal entity.
 
True, Zionists managed to fool the nations for many years presenting Israel as an harmless lost child who 'returned' home after 2000 years. The facts are now disclosed. The Jewish nation is an invention. The return saga is based on a fantasy. The only facts surrounding the Jewish state are the barbarian and merciless tactics it performs day by day.
 
Marcus notes that the reputation of Israel shifted radically. It is now regarded as aggressive and domineering. Unlike Alan Dershowitz who myopically insists that Israeli support in American campuses is guaranteed, Marcus is honest and brave enough to admit that American universities are becoming pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli. "That is dangerous" he says "because this is where America's future leaders are bred."
 
Marcus, however, is obviously extremely naive. Like most Israeli leftists he believes that Israel's trouble started in 1967 with the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Marcus, like most Israelis, is convinced that once occupation ends the Jewish State would once again surf the waves of glowing admiration. Marcus fails to understand that Israel has past the no-return-zone. In spite of the fact that he has written for Haaretz for decades and must be familiar with the most intimate details of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Marcus, like most Israelis, manages to miss what the Palestinian cause is all about. He somehow dismisses the 1948 Nakba and the refugee issue.
 
Shockingly enough, in the eyes of the Zio-centric journalist, Palestinians and Goyim in general are an easy target for manipulation. It is this exact tendency that led to the birth of Israel's 'unilateral' philosophy. We the Jews will do what we have to do, the world will follow. In Ben Gurion's words: "it doesn't matter what the Goyim say, all that matters is what Jews do."
 
Marcus is concerned. Israel's reputation is falling apart "From a light unto the nations, Israel has become a maligned and ostracized nation".... "Ever since Operation Cast Lead in Gaza officers in the Israel Defense Forces have been at risk every time they land in an international airport".
 
However, Marcus is not at all concerned with the fact that he himself is living on stolen land. Morality seems to be beyond him. There is not a single reference to ethics in his entire article. For Marcus and other Israeli leftists, it is all about the exchange rate. It is all about give and take rather than self reflection that may lead into a long overdue ethical realisation.
 
Marcus wants Israel to be a light unto the nations. He doesn't understand that this is not going to happen. The window of opportunity is closing down.
 
The disclosure of Israeli barbarism together with the exposure of its relentless lobbies around the world makes it very clear. Israel is not just night unto the nations. It is actually a total nightmare and embarrassment to humanity and humanism.
