Though not specifically On-Topic, I repost from IsraelNationalNews an article which describes the kind of 'brainwashing' of the Jewish people which is going on today, compared to the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion' brainwashing which contributed to the Jewish people in Europe to feel self-loathing...
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/14154#.UpesXrWJDAQThe "Neo-Protocols" Tweeter StyleThe Neo-Protocols can be summed up as follows: "Israel is no longer strategically important to the US or Europe; and therefore, Israel is just a 'pain in the a--,' and can, and should, be eliminated."From Mark Langfan
In an instant in 79 C.E., the volcano of Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the city of Pompeii, killing the approximately 20,000 residents and burying them under 20 feet of ash and pumice. Before the actual volcano erupted, there were tell-tale signs consisting of spews of hot lava, ash, and smoke from the crater.
In 2013, in a new book "Double Down" about the Obama White House, Obama is quoted as saying "Bibi is a pain in the a--." (No official denial was issued.) What appears at first to be a casual off-hand comment is really an ominous sign of extreme danger. In fact, it is the pre-eruption molten lava spew of a simmering volcano that may erupt and wipe out the Jewish people of Israel no less quickly than Mt. Vesuvius volcano wiped out Pompeii.
For, the mass-murder of 6 million human beings doesn't just happen because the mass-murderer doesn't like the length of the mass murder-victims' noses. Even the German soldiers couldn't have gassed millions of Jews just because they looked different. Millions of Jews didn't obediently shuffle off to the death camps because they were told to. There had to be an additional very strong unifying "reason" that both the Nazis mass-murdered the Jews and the Jews submitted themselves to mass-murder.
I believe that extra "something" was the blood-libel of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. (The "Protocols") The basic "Protocols" Big Lie is that "Jews are trying to control the world." Today, I believe an even more insidious new 21st century Tweeter-Age "Neo-Protocols" has arisen. And, the Neo-Protocols can be neatly summed up by the real message Obama wanted to send that is less than 164 characters: "Israel is a pain in the a--."
As a critical digression, the Neo-Protocols' "Israel is a pain" is just another modern-example of the Big Lie. This is because the reality is that between the 11 million Christians of Greece and the 370 Million Muslims of the Middle East (excluding Pakistan, Nigeria, India, and Malaysia), the only non-Muslim country that exists is Israel. (I forgot that military powerhouse of non-NATO Cyprus that has barely 1 million Christians and is already half-occupied by Turkey.) Israel is an Islam appetizer. Cyprus is its sherbet. They will annihilate Europe for their entree.
So, either Greece, Europe, and NATO allow the 6 million Jews of Israel to defeat the Islamists or the 370 million Muslims, led by a nuclear-Iran, will be fighting the 11 million Greeks in Greece. In short, the immutable fact is Israel is not a "pain," but Western Civilization's first and last line of defense against annihilation.
But returning to the main theme of this essay, as a predicate to any "successful" genocide, there has to be created both a super-hate in the mass-murderer and a super-inferiority in the minds of the mass-murdered-victims. I believe that in World War 2 the super-hate of the murderer and super-inferiority of the victim was based in large part on the Nazis "successful" and pervasive use of the Protocols. Today, while the Protocols are still actively used, there is even more 'viral' Protocol mutation. The Neo-Protocols can be summed up as follows: "Israel is no longer strategically important to the US or Europe; and therefore, Israel is just a 'pain in the a--,' and can, and should, be eliminated."
For anyone and their children, the definitive understandable history and trajectory of the Protocols of Elders of Zion is the graphic novel by Will Eisner available over Amazon. But, without going over the entire tortured history, an allegorical attack against a king of France unrelated to the Jews was later plagiarized and mis-attributed to the Jews by Russian Tsarist reactionary forces. They used the plagiarized and misattributed "Protocols" as a political weapon against the liberal forces in Tsar Nicholas' reign. The plagiarized and misattributed claim was the "Jews conspired to control and take over the world." The overthrow of the Tsar did not lead to the death of the plagiarized and misattributed forgery. Instead, the lie was incorporated into the DNA of anti-Semites all over the world.
Under Hitler, the Nazis made the Protocols a central theme to both inspire hate in the would-be German-Nazi mass murderers, but also, to sow mass-pathological self-doubt and self-loathing in the Jews of pre-war Europe. Thus, the original Protocols gave the mass-murderer the perfect motive to genocidally massacre the Jews. But, in addition, they instilled a psychological inferiority and self-hatred in the Jewish mass-murder victims which helped break the Jews' will to defend themselves even before they found themselves subject to mass-murder.
How exactly have Obama & Company turned little Israel into the bête noire of the world? They've done it the old-fashioned way: by totally and repeatedly lying.
For instance, let's take President Obama's prepared highly-pre-vetted remarks at the State Department on May 19, 2011:
"For decades, the conflict between Israelis and Arabs has cast a shadow over the region. . . . Moreover, this conflict has come with a larger cost to the Middle East, as it impedes partnerships that could bring greater security and prosperity and empowerment to ordinary people."
Obama's "objective", "clear-eyed" military man, General Mattis, Commander of the US Central Command, had this to say in sworn testimony before the United States Congress in his 2012 Posture Statement which was published a full year after the Syrian Civil War between Shias and Sunnis began:
"It should come as no surprise that the lack of a sustainable solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a pre-imminent flame that keeps the pot boiling in the Middle East, particularly as the Arab Awakening causes Arab governments to be more responsive to the sentiments of their populations. The inability to resolve tensions between the state of Israel and the Palestinians imposes a heavy cost on our activities in the AOR(Area Of Responsibility), and is raised in almost every meeting I have with the key leaders in the region, particularly in the Arabian Peninsula and Levant. A peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians would facilitate more public, robust support by regional partners for U.S. initiatives, bolster regional collaboration and remove fertile ground for extremism and resentment to flourish. We owe to the next generation to do everything possible to solve this vexing issue that gives so much fuel to extremist ideology."
Mattis and Obama didn't agree on much of anything, except, of course, they both dislike Israel intensely.
And then, of course, there is Obama's Secretary of State John Kerry, who on July 17, 2013 had this to say about Israel:
"Peace is in the common interest of everybody in this region. And as many [Arab] ministers said to me today in the meeting that we had – many of them – they said that the core issue of instability in this region and in many other parts of the world is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict."
One could go on for pages and pages of Obama's minions' statements of how "Israel is the total cause of the entire world's problems," but it's clear Obama has fostered and hammered one, and only one, theme: Israel's existence "has cast a shadow" over the world and is the "pre-imminent flame that keeps the pot boiling in the Middle East" and the "fuel to extremist ideology" as well as the "core issue of instability in this region and in many other parts of the world."
One would expect Obama to plant the seeds of the hate and belittle Israel's value. What is strange is for some Israelis to actually believe they are strategically worthless and the cause of instability in the Middle East and the world, and they do. Israelis and their strategic "master-minds" have bought the "Israel is a pain in the a--" lock, stock, and barrel. No less a personage as Minister Livni just stated a week ago on November 13, 2013 to a bunch of college kids that:
“We are at the last minute before isolation. Anyone who is worried about cottage cheese and housing prices, which is perfectly legitimate, needs to understand that an isolated country, which pushes forward processes that are seen by the world as illegitimate, is a country whose economy will be affected.”
So instead of exposing Obama's Neo-Protocol Big Lie claiming that Israel is the cause the the problem and "isolated," Livni works overtime to brainwash Israeli college kids into thinking Israel is isolated, friend-less, strategically worthless, and "illegitimate." Why should Israel worry about educating American Jewish college kids if Israeli political leaders are poisoning Israeli teenagers with pure anti-Israel Neo-Protocols.
We are on a Holocaust 2.0 trajectory where the world has been brainwashed to hate Israel, and Israelis have been brainwashed to hate Israel. The Neo-Protocols have instilled a simple solution for all the world's problem: Eradicate Israel.
Jews must start educating themselves and others that "Israel is the savior of Western Civilization." For, unless we expose the Big Lie of the Neo-Protocol that "Israel is a pain in the a--," the Big Lie will become an Orwellian truth, and Israel will wind up like Pompeii, 20 feet under ash and pumice from an Iranian nuclear bomb.
