Portraying the U.S. as a Pliable Puppet of Jews Should be Offensive to the Electorate
An ominous cloud is spreading across America, casting a dark shadow of malevolence across the nation's socio-political fabric.
One of the most disruptive figures driving this detrimental trend is media personality Ana Kasparian, a well-known public figure of Armenian origin (which she regularly invokes) and a frequent participant in popular talk-shows.
Attractive, she is co-host of the TV program The Young Turks, an incongruous career choice, as originally, the term "Young Turks" is associated with the 1915-Armenian Genocide, particularly as she frequently raises this tragic event publicly.
Recently, Kasparian has adopted an acutely acrimonious anti-Israel attitude — and is often afforded high-profile platforms to express it.
Thus, in a recent podcast of well-known political comedian/satirist, Bill Maher, she seemingly demonstrated the beyond flawed mentality of antisemitism — especially in its post-2023 manifestation.
Did Kasparian attempt to belittle the perils Israelis face from Palestinian stone-throwing, ignoring that over a dozen Israelis, including toddlers, perished because of Palestinian rock-throwers?
Astonishingly, Kasparian apparently suggested that.
Why?
Because of its purported nuclear capabilities, Israel has little to fear from Palestinian stones — implying that Israel could always "nuke" the stone-throwers.
Curiously, she dismissed the prospect of Palestinians using nuclear weapons if they ever possessed them, since this would make the land, they allegedly love, "unlivable" — raising the question of why that would not hold equally for Israelis!
Interestingly, when Maher interjected that, while Israel never used its nuclear capability, if the Palestinians had it, they would use it in a matter of seconds, Kasparian protested that he had no way of knowing that.
In response, Maher pointed out that such "obliteration" is the express goal of Hamas —articulated in its Charter.
Moreover, this genocidal intent is not confined to Hamas. Indeed, Jibril Rajoub, a high-ranking Fatah member, pledged that if Palestinians h"ad a nuke, we’d have used it this very morning."
Later in her litany, Kasparian labeled IDF operations in Gaza as "random slaughter," ignoring that the toll of civilian casualties was largely because:
—Hamas used them as "human shields," and . . .
—Egypt refused to allow Gazans to flee the war zone, as in every other military conflict, from Syria to Ukraine.
Moreover, Kasparian's allegations are totally at odds with assessments of objective professional observers, like Col. Richard Kemp, ex-commander of British forces in Afghanistan, who remarked that no other army has exercised such care in avoiding civilian casualties, attaining the lowest ratio of civilian-to-combatant deaths ever in urban warfare.
In a later appearance, on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, Kasparian shied away from condemning the Iranian regime for the slaughter of Iranian demonstrators.
Hotly contesting the validity of the widely-reported number of 30,000, she was, however, unable to provide any alternative estimate and unwilling to indicate how many dead protesters would be "acceptable."
Apparently eager to whitewash all of its adversaries, no matter how barbaric, if this serves to cast aspersions on Israel, Kasparian balked at condemning her co-host on The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur, for characterizing the brutal tyrant, Ali Khamenei, as "courageous."
She interjected: " . . . well, he never capitulated to the Israelis and we live under a government [that], regardless of which party is in power, is on its knees on behalf of Israel.
"So, I understand what he's talking about. He didn't embarrass his people by getting down on his knees to . . . Israel, as our leaders in the United States[ . . . Many] Americans are embarrassed by the fact that our leadership . . . seems to prioritize the best interests of Israel."
Does this astounding premise then imply Germans should laud Adolf Hitler because he avoided "embarrassment" by choosing to commit suicide, rather than surrender?
Of course, while all this is reminiscent of the antisemitic trope that "Jews control the world," it leaves one to ponder how the diminutive Israel could impose its will on the world's most powerful nation.
Indeed, this portrayal of the U.S. as a subservient lackey of the Jews should be deeply offensive to America — and the American electorate.
Kasparian and some of her like-minded conspiratorial Judeo-phobic kinfolk have accused Israel of dragging the U.S. into numerous armed conflicts — including the current campaign against Iran.
Apart from the prima facie absurdity of the allegation, it also runs counter to Trump's enumeration of U.S. imperatives for the war, invoking "menacing [Iranian] activities [that] directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas . . . "
Clearly, the accusation that Washington is Israel's perennial puppet is both ludicrous and false. Indeed, over recent decades, both Democratic and Republican administrations have passed resolutions which Israel opposed — often bitterly.
Even a brief review of presidential decisions, from Eisenhower through Bush to Biden, should suffice to repudiate any allegations that America is in the iron grip of some diabolical Judaic cult, compelling it to sacrifice U.S. interests (and lives) for those of Israel.
