ISRAEL COULD NOT POUR PEACE OUT OF A BOOT…

WITH THE DIRECTIONS ON THE HEAL

By Phil Tourney STAFF WRITER

As a boy, there was a statement (similar to the title of this piece) I always heard my elders use when they wanted to describe someone so incompetent that even the laws of gravity and physics wouldn’t work in their favor.

Now, a much older and wiser man, I can see how that statement applies in other matters as well, and particularly the daily news dealing with Israel. As the old saying (sort of) goes, Israel “couldn’t pour peace out of a boot with the directions on the heal”. Peace in the Middle East? Not as long as Israel is there, and definitely not as long as Uncle Same is feeding her addition to the tune of $30 million a day, to say nothing of al the political protection she gets from us when fleeing the wrath of an outraged world. As the bible said in describing a future time of seemingly never-ending conflict, “Men cry ‘peace, peace,’ but there is no peace”, and so it goes with Israel. Funny, we never hear Israel’s favorite preachers in America such as John Hagee citing THAT verse when he is busy bearing false witness in propping Israel up as the apple of God’s eye.

And so it goes with Israel. Not a minute of peace since the day she slithered her way back into the Middle East and corrupted the politics of the land of the free and home of the brave. Whether it has been the hundreds of Palestinian civilians she has killed, the 34 friends of mine she murdered aboard the USS LIBERTY or the 5,000+ American servicemen who lost their lives fighting Israel’s wars for her, peace is as elusive as warm days in January.

Those who would disagree should take a short stroll with me down memory lane. Israel gets a state for her people, and what does the world get in return? War, war, and more war. A billion Muslims and a billion Christians at war with each other. Economic destitution. Political corruption. Senators and Congressmen bought off like the politicians living in Al Capone’s Chicago.

Israel got what she got by pure theft and terrorism. Massacre after massacre of Arab civilians–women and children just like those in the supermarkets and malls of America–by Jewish terrorist groups such as the Stern Gang and the Irgun, and yet we hear nothing about it.

And what is the justification for all this? Because Jews suffered during WW II. Because they suffered, we all must as well. Because they have no peace of mind when remembering what took place 60 years ago, the rest of the world must forfeit its peace of mind also. Newsflash Israel and her supporters–MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SUFFERED IN WWII. In fact, if we are to do the numbers, you are the low man on the totem pole when compared to the tens of millions of others who suffered and died.

The proof that Israel desires peace like an infection desires antibiotics is simple history. It has been nothing but war ever since 1948 and even before. And in order to keep war going, Israel had to make sure that gas is always on hand to throw on the fire.

The Lavon affair–Israeli agents snuck into Egypt with plans of blowing up American buildings in order to blame it on Muslims, just as they later tried to do with the attack on my ship, USS LIBERTY. She tried denying it, but when one of the bombs went off in the pocket of one of the terrorists, the gig was up. There was no punishment from America–who would have been the victim of this act of terror, and in later years, those who had been sent to kill Americans were given medals of honor in Israel.

Am I saying that Israel should not have a homeland? No, I’m not saying that. But if she wants to join the family of nations, she needs to start behaving like civilized nations behave, which means living in peace with your neighbors, and respecting boundaries, just as has been set fourth in many UN resolutions mainly, 242.

Israel has gotten by with the murder of my shipmates aboard USS LIBERTY June 8 1967. Any other country had done what she did and the only evidence of that country’s existence would be in history books. For Israel however, she got a free pass from the United States–the very country whose men were murdered and has been rewarded with billions of dollars. And lest some think that the Lavon Affair and the LIBERTY were isolated events–they weren’t. The 1983 bombings of the Marine barracks in Beirut that killed almost 250 brave Americans as they slept in the bunks, one day closer to going home–Israel knew about it and refused to warn us, saying, “The Americans wanted to stick their nose into this thing, let them pay the price…” We can just imagine what we would all be subjected to if the US had information on a terrorist attack against Israel and refused to warn them about it. They would demand apology after apology accompanied with even more of our treasure and blood.

I could go on and on with examples from history, but the best proof of Israel’s aversion to peace is what is going on now. Simply listen and watch. Peace is an unwanted pregnancy for the Jewish state and we all know how unwanted pregnancies typically end up, and that is what we are facing, only in this case it is not just a stillborn baby, but rather millions of people in the Middle East and beyond DEAD.

Israel knows how to make peace–it’s as easy as pouring you-know-what out of a boot with the directions on the heel. At this point, the world wants peace as much as that you-know-what wants to come pouring out of the boot when it’s turned over. It–the world’s desire for peace–is a matter of gravity at this point, simply allow it and it will come, unless of course you are Israel.
