Obama is moving to impose his own final solution

Imposing Another Final Solution

This Sunday, April 11th was the 67th Yom HaShoah, a Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust, the National Socialist attempt at imposing a solution on the Jewish problem. But the idea that there was a Jewish problem that needs a solution predated the Nazis. Pharaoh had the same notion that there was a Jewish problem that needed solving. And countless nations and ideologies followed in his footsteps. Today the socialists of the Democratic Party and the EU again want to impose a solution on that pesky Jewish problem.

The interconnection of the Jewish calendar is such that it is difficult to forget all this history. Two weeks after we are done celebrating Passover, our remembrance of divine salvation from Pharaoh’s final solution, comes Yom HaShoah, when we remember the final solution that came in our own time. And in between these, Obama is moving to impose his own final solution, after a meeting with six national security advisors who like the missing participants at the Wannsee Conference all agreed that solving the Jewish problem was key to solving all other problems.

Of course it is impolitic outside the Middle East to call it the Jewish problem. Instead it’s usually described as the problem caused by Israel, which unlike Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and the rest of the otherwise peaceful region, is governed by an intractable people who are responsible for all the region’s and all the world’s problems.

The same columnists and reporters who gasped breathlessly each time Obama glanced at his teleprompter, have already explained to us that all the problems in the Middle East can be boiled down to that awful Mr. Netanyahu and his pack of fanatical Jews building their fanatical houses in Jerusalem. Never mind the legions of suicide bombers, Shiites slaughtering Sunnis, Yemen’s civil war, genocide in the Sudan, street riots in Iran, ethnic cleansing threats in Turkey and all the other lovely byproducts of the Religion of Peace… the problem is Jews ruling themselves in a tiny strip of land, that used to be ruled by Muslims.

This version of the final solution places all of that Muslim violence at Israel’s doorstep… arguing that Muslims are only violent because of Jewish provocation.

The logic here is not terribly original. When the blueprints for the last Final Solution were being unrolled on polished conference tables, there were no shortage of fine minds willing to explain why it was the Jewish provocations that were responsible. And even when the Jews fled Germany, the Nazis had no choice but to follow them on a campaign of conquest all across Europe. Similarly Muslims have no choice but to expand their killing spree beyond Israel, bombing synagogues in New York and Buenos Aires, beating Jewish students in Paris and Toronto, and murdering a Rabbi and his wife in Mumbai.

And so the great minds of the day, who have almost as many doctorates among them, as the Wannsee Conference planners, have once again explained how all the violence and all the problems can be boiled down to Jews, living. Of course they avoid the term Jews, though they do slip up some times. And they avoid admitting that what they mean is that Jews living anywhere under their own rule in the State of Israel is provocation enough.

No, they insist that there are places in Israel where Jews living is a provocation and other places where it’s less so. Jews living in territory that Israel lost in its 1948 War of Independence and then reclaimed 19 years later in the Six Day War, is very provocative. Those territories are officially labeled Settlements, even when such “Settlementsâ€
