The Innocence of Israel: Indicting the Idiocy and Inanity of an Argument from Size

Bullets are harmless. So are microbes. And innocent Israel is the helpless puppet of amoral America. How can we know all that? It’s thanks to a falsehood-smashing truth-technique recently deployed at Spiked Online. That’s the headquarters of the Trotskyist libertarians who fight for a better world under the guidance of the Jewish sociologist Frank Furedi. The Fu-fighters have got a very simple way to determine whether entity A can harm, influence or control entity B. You don’t need to worry about mechanisms or molecules or any minor details like those. No, you just need to compare the relative size and strength of A and B.

What a Stupid Kent

For example, who’s in charge on the American and Israeli side in the war on Iran? When Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned from the Trump government, he made the nonsensical claim that it’s Israel in charge. At Spiked, the Fu-fighter Brendan O’Neill rightly scoffed that Kent had “made it abundantly clear he knows zilch about geopolitics.” Brendan then deployed that devastating truth-technique: “Kent talks about the US — a military powerhouse of the like humankind has never known — as if it were the panting little poodle of Israel, which is the size of Wales.” Do you see? Israel is the size of Wales, so how on earth could it have any influence over the much bigger and much more militarily powerful United States? Yes, it’s nonsense to suggest Israel is in charge, just as it’s nonsense to suggest that Martin Luther King was killed by a bullet. LOL. How much did the allegedly fatal bullet weigh by comparison with MLK? Maybe 0.012%! That’s a vanishingly small fraction of his body-weight!

How can microscopic cholera, life-size on left, have killed the musical giant Tchaikovsky?

And what about claims that cholera, typhoid and other microbes can kill human beings? That is nonsense on stilts. Although it’s ludicrous to suggest that a tiny bullet can harm a human being, at least you can see and touch a bullet. Microbes like cholera are both invisible and intangible. The clue’s in the name: microbe. When a human being allegedly dies of cholera, the supposedly guilty bacilli will constitute about 0.000001% of the human’s body-weight. That’s one hundred-millionth of body-weight, for heaven’s sake! So what kind of idiot would assert that cholera can kill a human being? Yes, I ish I had known about Spiked’s infallible truth-technique when I repeated some nonsensical scientific claims about a microscopic parasite called Toxoplasma gondii.

How can microscopic Toxoplasma, life-size on left, manipulate the mighty human brain?

Previously at the Occidental Observer, I said that this piffling protozoan can manipulate the brains and behavior of vastly larger mammals like rats and humans. Remember: to judge a claim like that, you don’t need to worry about biochemistry or neurology. You just need to compare the size and strength of entities A and B. Like cholera, Toxoplasma is both invisible and intangible. It’s also mindless. The same goes for molecules like LSD. Therefore Toxoplasma and LSD cannot possibly influence the human brain, which weighs millions of times more and is infinitely more powerful in its cognition and creativity. Could Toxoplasma have built Chartres Cathedral or landed on the moon or spearheaded a liberty-loving revolution like mighty-minded Lenin and Trotsky? No, of course not. So let’s have no more nonsense either about microbes being able to affect human beings or about tiny Israel — “the size of Wales,” remember — having any influence over giant America.

Men from the margins

And let’s have no more nonsense about the so-called British Empire. It never existed. Nor did the empires allegedly built by Alexander the Great, Napoleon and Stalin. Britain is a small island on the margin of Europe. There is no way the British could ever have conquered vastly larger territories and populations in Asia and Africa. Similarly, Alexander the so-called Great was one man from tiny Macedonia, Napoleon was one man from tiny Corsica and Stalin was one man from tiny Georgia. There is no way any of those men could have used will-power, intelligence, charisma and cunning to dominate large numbers of other men and wage successful wars or political campaigns. Geopolitics doesn’t work like that any more than biology does. Just ask the Fu-fighters and they’ll tell you that bigger and stronger entities always dominate smaller and weaker entities. Therefore 1) America controls Israel; 2) the human body always defeats cholera; 3) the human brain is never affected by microbes or so-called psychedelic drugs.

Okay, sarcasm over. It’s the Fu-fighters who are talking nonsense, of course. It’s ludicrous to claim that Israel isn’t in charge of the war on Iran because “Israel is the size of Wales.” That’s geographically correct, but so what? The important question is not the relative size and strength of America and Israel but the behavior of America and Israel and whether Israel has any mechanisms for influencing or controlling America. By those criteria, it’s clear that Israel is indeed controlling America. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has openly admitted that Israel alone made the decision to attack Iran and that America followed Israel’s lead. The war is in the interests of Israel, not in the interests of America, let alone of the rest of the world. And Israel very obviously has mechanisms for exercising decisive influence in American politics. Have the Fu-fighters never heard of AIPAC, the hugely powerful Zionist lobby-group? Have they never heard of Zionist billionaires like Sheldon Adelson and the huge donations they make to both sides of American politics? And what about the Israeli spy-agency Mossad and its long-honed expertise in surveillance, blackmail and assassination?

Lenin and Leon

Obviously, the Fu-fighters have heard of all those things, which why they resort to fatuous and dishonest arguments like “Israel is the size of Wales.” Indeed, the very politics of the Fu-fighters contradicts their own ludicrous argument that small entities cannot control or defeat much larger entities. Frank Furedi and his followers are devotees of Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky, the part-Jewish and fully Jewish megalomaniacs who spearheaded the Bolshevik Revolution and took over the mighty Tsarist empire. Without Lenin and his relentless intellect, will-power and optimism, would the Bolsheviks have been successful? The Fu-fighters don’t think so. I agree with them. But Lenin was one feeble man against an empire of millions, just as Jews are one tiny minority against a world of billions. If Lenin could prevail and conquer an empire, why can’t Jews prevail and control a superpower? The Bolshevik Revolution is an existence proof that one man and his ideas can alter history in hugely consequential ways. After all, that’s why Franky and the Fu-fighters worship Lenin and, as the Revolutionary Communist Party, tried to emulate him and the Bolsheviks back in the 1980s.

Fortunately enough, the Fu-fighters never won the power they sought and never got to satisfy either their megalomania or their desire for revenge on the majority. Nevertheless, Frank Furedi meets all the criteria of an archetypal figure described by Kevin MacDonald: that of the charismatic Jewish crypto-rabbi-guru who recruits and molds a group of devoted disciples and leads them in pursuit of political or cultural power and influence. In Tsarist Russia, the Bolsheviks were disproportionately drawn from resentful, grudge-bearing minorities like Jews, Georgians and Latvians; in Western nations like Britain and America, Marxist-Leninists are disproportionately drawn from resentful, grudge-bearing minorities like Jews, Irish Catholics, Blacks, and Muslims. Can you spot what didn’t change? Jews are the constant factor and indeed the controlling factor in revolutionary politics.

Mechanism matters, not minuteness

Trotsky is a constant factor too. He was a decisive influence in Bolshevism and has been a decisive influence on so-called neoconservatism, the heavily Jewish and pro-Israel movement responsible for disastrous wars in Iraq and Ukraine (see Kevin MacDonald’s “Neoconservativism as a Jewish Movement”). But those wars didn’t generate enough disaster and dead goyim to satisfy the neocons, so they’ve launched the “military powerhouse” America against Iran too. And they’re already eyeing up Turkey. Have any of these wars served the interests of America and American Whites? No, quite the opposite. Instead, the wars have served the interests of Israel and Jews. Trillions of dollars have been poured away at the behest of a tiny nation and a tiny minority.

I have a simple response to anyone who seizes on that adjective “tiny.” Does minute size prove that Israel and Jews can’t in fact be responsible or in control? Well, if you claim that, would you be happy to drink a tiny vial of cholera or be injected with a tiny dose of botulinum toxin? If you wouldn’t be happy, you’ve admitted that what matters is mechanism, not minuteness. Biochemistry and neurology reveal clear mechanisms for microbes to harm the human body and manipulate the human brain. Political science and finance reveal clear mechanisms for Jews to dominate Western nations and control the American military. And denial of Jewish control is particularly ludicrous coming from fans of Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. If two men can overthrow an empire, one tiny nation can certainly control a superpower.
