What Goldstone teaches us about Israel and its enemies

“...it is irrelevant what the Jews think or say, and how they interpret it. What matters is how the gentiles understand it.”

--The Lubavitcher Rebbe ZT"L on “agreements,” 1992

“We do not have to account to anybody, we are not to sit for anybody's examination and nobody is old enough to call on us to answer. We came before them and will leave after them. We are what we are, we are good for ourselves, we will not change and we do not want to.”

Zev Jabotinsky (OBM), 1911

By now it should be obvious that the principle work of the United Nations is to delegitimize, weaken and ultimately destroy Israel. Put another way, the UN represents the globalization of Jew-hatred. And it’s that context in which the Goldstone Report is best understood. Its singular goal is to criminalize – ex post facto, beginning with Gaza – precisely the type of warfare Israel will be forced to fight in the coming years with Hamas and Hezbollah purposely entrenched cheek by jowl within civilian populations in Lebanon and Gaza. In truth, Goldstone demands Israel’s surrender. To read more on the fine points of Goldstone’s perfidies see here and here.

Then there is the question, why did Goldstone the Jew distance himself from his “report”? Did he wake up one morning and suddenly realize he was a willing Jewish dupe doing the devil’s work? That is pure speculation, of course, but this is not. Goldstone is merely one of many tactics being deployed by the forces arrayed against Israel. The BDS movement, Obama’s R2P doctrine, the march of Islam in the West, and an anti-Zionist/pro-Arab feeding frenzy in the media, to name a few. So Israel should take little comfort even if Goldstone’s recantation weakens its impact, because Israel still faces a full court press. And if the Jewish state tries to debunk and neutralize every canard the Nations conjure up, it will soon exhaust itself before firing a shot in self-defense.

The Jew-baiting game is rigged and always has been. They always have a “rationale” for our demise, be it deicide or poisoning the well. The Nazis reasoned we controlled the world. Sixty years, and 6 million martyrs later, the world we were suppose to control is branding us Nazis. There’s only one way the Jewish state can beat the house: play by the unique set of rules The Creator gave His Chosen People. Either that and win, or attempt to live up to our enemy's ad hoc standards and commit national suicide.
