Israel is not America

Op-ed: Revelation of Iraq crimes won’t help us; America is a superpower, we’re not

The Jews of Israel are overjoyed: Finally, those hypocritical, self-righteous Americans are screwed. As always, the greatest joy in Israel is the one over someone else’s downfall, and now it’s the turn of the Americans – the ones who have been preaching to us for decades. This time, we’ll show them who’s right.

The tens of thousands of documents exposed by Wikileaks portray an awful picture of a brutal American thug: In the morning, he rapes a few Iraqi women for his pleasure, by noon he kills dozens of civilians, and what happens in the evening? He eats their livers or raw flesh?

As of yesterday, and for some days to come, America is under attack. It’s being blasted from every direction. This is the same America that was aiming to teach us a lesson; the same America that failed to understand (and will continue to fail) that war does not work in line with the noble vision of our Biblical prophets.

War is a terrible thing.

So what shall happen now? You think that now, after the US monstrosity had been fully exposed, the Americans will no longer reprimand us, condemn us, and make our life hell?

Well, think again. Their sages already said something about it, in Latin: Quod licet jovis – non licet bovis” (that is, what is permitted to the gods is not permitted to the cattle.)

America is America – the world’s lone superpower. Hence, it will continue to slam us, while carrying the banner of morality, justice, and model behavior. Indeed, America is hypocritical and self-righteous, yet it is permitted to do what we are not permitted to do, just like the gods and the cattle.

Does this sound unfair? You think it’s unjust? Is it indecent? Yes, it’s truly terrible. Yet this is the way the world works in October 2010. And those who don’t like it can go ahead and try to get off of this world to go elsewhere.
