Insanity or 'Groundhog Day'
Perception is Reality....
posted by Sully
On August 1st, the Washington Post published an article by former President Jimmy Carter (subscription required - however the text can be found linked below) titled, "Stop the Band-Aid Treatment", with a subtitle, "We need policies for a real, lasting Middle East peace". It is chock full of the same old memes, moral equivalence & liberal pablum that we have heard since Jimmy Carter's debacle with the hostage taking in Iran in 1979.
Of course Jimmy has to repeat one of the memes that has become indispensable to all terrorist groups;
<<< [I]t is inhumane and counterproductive to punish civilian populations in the illogical hope that somehow they will blame Hamas and Hezbollah for provoking the devastating response. The result instead has been that broad Arab and worldwide support has been rallied for these groups, while condemnation of both Israel and the United States has intensified. >>>
Rather than blame Hezbollah for being directly responsible for the war crimes that lead to these civilian casualties, Carter lays blame for civilian deaths at Qana on the Israeli's. In typical lib fashion Carter exaggerated the number of casualties & dredged up the last time there were civilians killed in a similar incident there 10 years ago.
Hello Jimmy! Hezbollah can thank you & other liberal elites for making it possible for them to exploit local civilian populations. It's now one of the most important military tactics they have next to their acts of terrorism. It's a win-win situation for them. They know that Isreal will be unlikely to return fire when Hezbollah fires their rockets from civilian areas. They know they can store their weapons among them because Israel won't try to destroy them in civilian areas. They know their bunkers, offices & homes are safe when they are built among civilians. They even dress like civilians too. And when Israel does fire on those positions (after giving civilians multiple warnings) Hezbollah knows they can use it to have Israel condemned for "intentionally targeting" innocent civilians. And they can even count dead Hezbollah among the "innocent civilians" because they are dressed like civilians.
Why? Because liberal elites like you won't condemn Hezbollah for these war crimes. No, you won't even educate the public about these despicable tactics. And when Israel does take action you are a willing mouthpiece of Hezbollah propaganda, unquestioningly repeating their version of events as though it were fact.
Carter goes on to cite all the memes they've trotted out since 1979;
- The "cycle of violence", you know, where the terrorists kill & maim at will until Israel responds,
- Ignoring 'World opinion' that craves peace above all, despite the odious consequences it has caused by not properly addressing the underlying problems. That would be the 'world opinion' that Carter & his elite peers have fostered but does not reflect reality,
- Israel's "provocative “security barrier” that embarrasses Israel’s friends and that fails to bring safety or stability", you know, the security barrier that has done wonders protecting innocent civilians in Israel from terrorists wearing bomb laden waist belts,
- The violence will continue as long as "Israel is violating key U.N. resolutions", you know, the ones manufactured by numerous anti-Semitic bureaucrats that populate the UN, the same UN that can't even define the word terrorist, let alone label Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Qaeda as terrorist organizations or denounce Iran & Syria, ET AL, as terrorist sponsoring nations,
- Blame the US for the continuing violence,
- etc., etc...
So what does Carter suggest the Israel do? Bend over & take it as long as Hezbollah uses civilians as human shields?
Please don't tell me that Carter & elite libs everywhere have yet to figure out that their utterly failed policies have contributed mightily to creating the monster that terrorism is today.
Appeasement since Carter's Presidency has failed.
Diplomacy with them has failed.
Every "Peace Accord" or agreement has utterly failed.
Every UN Resolution has utterly failed.
Every cease fire has saved the terrorists from destruction so they can regroup, rearm & return to fight another day.
Playing the moral equivalence card has played right into their hands.
Portraying them as "victims" has played right into their hands.
Failing to educate the public about the true nature of the terrorists has played right into their hands.
Failing to have a peacekeeping force that can enforce UN Resolutions with force if necessary has played right into their hands.
In essence, everything that liberal elites have demanded we do has only served to embolden the terrorists to become even more depraved & evil.
So why does the MSM treat proven losers like Jimmy Carter as if they were legitimate power brokers & give them a prominent voice in the media where they will shape world opinion with these same utterly failed liberal views?
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over again expecting a different outcome.
So why do I get the feeling that Jimmy Carter & his elite liberal peers are either insane or they're stuck in their own 'Groundhog Day'?
