It's been an amazing 5 years since Academia's Pax Professorcana's underwhelming loser lobby team up betwixt Professors Mearsheimer und Walt (of the infamous "Weenie Hut Juniors") double teamed those wascally Little Satan fans with the unleash of the infamous naughty Nakbahteer Necronomicom.
"The Little Satan Posse"
1st appearing in the prestigious London Review of Hard Back Thingys with Paper Between Them -
The Little Satan Posse had cats tore up from the floor up with the openly insinuated meme that wicked Palestine land stealing Little Satan had Great Satan by the nose - leading both to disastrous policies that not only hurt both Satan's legit interests - but was totally queering the mix beyond repair on the entire world.
"A loose coalition of individuals and organizations who actively work to steer American foreign policy in a pro-Little Satan direction. It focuses primarily on the lobby's influence on Great Satan's foreign policy and its negative effect on American interests, the lobby's impact has been unintentionally harmful to Little Satan as well."
Oh Snap! First off, a lobby is NOT a conspiracy. Indeed, whenever a machination is suspected to be true - it never is - when it's not suspect - it is totally successful.
And just how sexyfull is the Lobby? Not very! For starters - if it were true wicked dual loyalists and warmongering foreigners were yanking all the strings - uh, wouldn't Little Satan would be way more bigger turf wise than she is, like, from the Nile to the Eupharates?
Tiny tiny Little Satan 'occupies' less than 1% of the Arab world and less than a /10th of 1% of turf sweetly captured in desperate counterattacks.
West Bank would be all hers - Palestinians sweetly Right of Relocation'd to their choice of any of Arab League's 22 despotdoms (all with kindred dialect and customs) - strategic realignment of immense proportions, parceling out the most literate Arabs ever on the face of the earth with a penchant for voting in real, transparent elections. Generously repatriated and reparationed with Arab League cash as a diplopolitical apology about the totally tarded "3 No's of Khartoum" along with full ambassadorial status and Official Recog from every Arab Nation state on earth.
Golan would have been ceded long ago via Syria, the heavily Little Satan settled Blue Line would stretch from Little Satan's North 40 all the way to Litani River (with Sheebah Farms as a tasty treat) and Pyramidlanders would be administering the Strip instead of it's current (and risible) stats as one of Little Satan's client states.
Praised by super villain OBL as required reading, "The Little Satan Posse" caught more flak than Great Satan's oiled up pantie raid over Ploesti and was literally rewritten several times before appearing as we know it today.
The ungodly - yet avuncular Christopher Hitchens scored perhaps the 2nd best hit on the piece "AIPAC and other J'ish orgs exert a vast influence over Middle East policy", and stated that the paper "contains much that is true and a little that is original" and that he "would have gone further than Mearsheimer and Walt".
Hitch also does his Best Defense and Samuel Johnson impersonation, that "what is original is not true and what is true is not original", and that the notion that the "J'ish tail wags the American dog... the United States has gone to war in Iraq to gratify Ariel Sharon, and... the alliance between the two countries has brought down on us the wrath of Osama Bin Laden" is "partly misleading and partly creepy".
Hitch beasts that M und W's Little Satan Posse hypothesis is totally jank and be totally stank, yo "They seriously mischaracterize the origins of the problem" and have produced "an article that is redeemed from complete dullness and mediocrity only by being slightly but unmistakably smelly."
Such "piss poor" Professorism plagued the "Little Satan Posse" in the early days - Atlantic Monthly (who originally promised to fund it, backed off and rejected it - leading to cries the Little Satan was flexing her claws) and ex CIA spy guy James Woolsey (who is also whispered to be a wonderful dancer) said it was fake believe like Hobbits and Hobos
"... Reading these version of events is like entering a completely different world." M und W "are stunningly deceptive", and are hot for a sex'd up "commitment to distorting the historical record is the one consistent feature of this book"
Despite all the 'splainer man memes - blah blah blah - both the Little Satan Posse fanboys totally fail in their dot connecting sexercises to maintain a debate they are consistently NOT winning.
Loving Little Satan may actually have little to do with the PBUH guy, lame stream media, Hillbilly Xians or some magical posse pulling all the strings.
Consider - the Alamo meme. Surrounded by hostile creepy terrorist rocket rich rejects, wicked LOTR like forces - that for whatever reasons - appear intolerant and somewhat unhinged.
Exceptional Lite - nicht wahr?
The 'Satanic Reality' is gothicly gamed by the fact that Little Satan is right smack dab in the middle of the Arab world - and by any measure of measurement - economic, political, social, or cultural - she is success thriving amid misery. Without oil, without a large pop, without friendly homies on her borders, without vast real estate, and without Suez Canal, she magically provides her citizens with a way of life far more better than what is found in Palestine, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, or Egypt.
Loving Little Satan is an abiding feature of American public opinion. Because the American people are YaY!-Little Satan, the American government is YaY! Little Satan. And because Americans so hotly dig Little Satan's action in her forever quest Peace Battles with Araby, Great Satan's Policy is committed to defending Little Satan's democracy - nothing magic really - just like Philippines, SoKo or Taiwan.
Great Satan's birthright as a nation of immigrants that magically created the first modern 'democrazy' are sweetly mirrored imaged in Little Satan (Canada and Australia could say this too).
Result?
A tolerant, egalitarian society with a penchant for periodic, transparent elections, a free uncensored press, a nat'l treasury under public scrutiny, a military under civie control, an independent judiciary under elected gov oversight and the ability to enforce Writ of State.
Just like Great Satan!
"This is why they call Israel the Little Satan, to distinguish it clearly from the country that has always been and will always be the Great Satan - the United States of America."
Pic - "The Posse" has not had any great impact on the general public. The American public continues to support the relationship and resistance to any threat to the survival of Little Satan."

ReplyDeleteFree Palestine! Boycott the racist Jews!
Aw get real A'Mous! Really, I mean really, really wanna free Palestine?
ReplyDeleteThen annihilate HAMAS!
Well said,GSG!
ReplyDeleteActually, Anon, the real racists are the Pals...who insist on not even a single Jew being allowed to live in 'Palestine'.
Talk about apartheid!
Plus, I don't see any upside for the US giving a country to the swine that danced and celebrated 9/11.
-Rob-
GSG,
ReplyDeleteFacepalm, facepalm, facepalm.
Touting the virtues of Israeli "economic, political, social, or cultural" [cultural? stretching, aren't we?] success as if they Israel pulled herself up from those bootstraps, when in fact those successes were largely made possible by contributions from Viewers Like Us, is facepalm worthy; but doing so in a post about a book that addresses that very unquestioning foreign policy is ... meta-facepalm worthy.
From 1949-2010, Israel received $109B in foreign aid, mostly in the form of military grants. From '76-'04, she was the largest recipient of aid, with roughly about $3B worth of yearly aid in the past fifteen years. But then again, maybe you did address her success: magic, I believed you labelled it --
Anyways, what I found particularly striking in its predictability was the vituperative ad hominem attacks against the brave Professors Walt and Mearsheimer though any substantive rebuttals against their book were few. It seems any critical view of Israeli policy draws the cowhide of the Likud party; echoes of "self-hating jews" a la Axelrod and Emanuel resound.
But to the broader subject of US-Israel policy -- before you get too rah rah about our little "sweetly mirrored image" over there, let's not wave our pompoms too wildly lest we inadvertently cheer for the handlers of Lawrence A. Franklin, Jonathan Pollard, and Ben-ami Kadish, or forget the USS Liberty incident. (Incidentally, the Lawrence Franklin incident involved a most relevant lobbying group.)
And annihilate Hamas? Really, now.
Facepalmingly Yours,
Ellsworth Toohey

ReplyDeleteCuriously enough, it seems the nauseating record for first celebrating the events of 9/11 belongs to Sivan Kurzberg, Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner and Omer Marmari -- five workers for Urban Moving Systems, a NJ based truck rental company owned by Dominick Suter. In Union City, NJ, the five men were seen celebrating on an apartment parking lot, taking pictures and videos of themselves in front of a backdrop of the burning WTC. A witness thought their happy expressions so strange that she called the police who later arrested them; another witness saw them dancing. While all of them have subsequently denied any celebration, one of their photos which the FBI developed which shows Sivan Kurzberg flicking a cigarette lighter in front of the smouldering ruins. The five men were Israeli citizens.
It is believed that Urban Moving Systems was a front company for Israeli intelligence. In fact, Suter didn't really hang around to be interviewed a second time by the FBI and left for Israel in such a hurry that Urban Moving Systems still had some families' moving property in storage, its voice messages unanswered, and its cell phones forgotten. It was also reported that at least two of the dancing five were Mossad agents, though after the he-said she-said, cold facts are hard to pin down. The five men were released after 71 days and some high level talks between our governments.
So there you have it, Rob! A main dish of dancing and celebration irony, with an embarrassing side of hoof-in-mouth disease.
But swine you say? Mmmm. I'm getting hungry.
- Ellsworth Toohey
Thanks Ellsworth. I reckon you must be really facepalming - equating a few billion a year as the raison d'etre for like a multi hundred billion dollar a year economy.
ReplyDelete$217.1 billion (2010 est.)from CIA Worldfactbook.
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/is.html
Which, incredibly enough, appears as a source in the above fully crunk and totally correct essay/analysis
It's an ancient, sad, meme - not unlike the old "M&M's melt in your mouth and not in your hands" and one easily LOL'd by the facts - especially in like - you know - the last 11 years or so.
There is much to be said if Ellsworth were to recant such - let us speak plainly here - facepalmingly underwhelming unknowlege about Little Satan's bling bling and apply it to places like Jordan, Pakistan or Egypt.
Their collective economies are heavily dependent on Great Satan and most likely would cease to exist in any recognizable form
Great post, Courtney. Of course it would draw a negative comment from some jackass anti-Semite that doesn't have the balls to post under his real name or an identifiable screen name, so that tells you right there you're right on the money.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I wish the Israelis would ethnically cleanse all the territory they've taken and claim it all for themselves. The only downside I can see is, the Paleoswinians would very possibly end up on Big Satan's doorstep begging for aid and succor.
I do take exception to one thing and only one thing you said here. I seriously question your statement that our government is devoted to the protection of Israel. It sure hasn't seemed that way under the current administration.
Obviously educated. Obviously wrong on most things. Girl re-evaluate what you think you know. Examine the motives of those who taught you the huge pile of corrupt thought. You are nothing but a mouthpiece of hateful Arabs, and liberal teachers and college professors, and horribly horribly wrongheaded.
ReplyDeleteLOLZ! @A'mous. "...the mouth piece of h8ful arabs and liberal teachers and college professors..."? Incorrect, more like kryptonite in Smallville with either posse.
ReplyDeleteEllsworth Toohey: Are you a Ron Paul fan? That kind of low-grade anti-semitism sounds like the kind of thing one would expect from a Paulist. Anyone who takes you more seriously than GSG is so full of shit that they carry around enough fertilizer to fertilize half the Negev Desert. Why don't you join Al-Qaeda, dude?
ReplyDeletehey GSG,
ReplyDeleteyour analysis of I/P is way off. See Shlomo Ben Ami's "Scars of War Wounds of Peace" for a reasonably objective analysis from someone youd be open to listening to (an ardent Zionist who was part of the inner circle back in the day)
Also, US Canada and Aust succeeded as modern democracies by largely decimating their aboriginal populations. Somehow I dont think that strategy is acceptable in the 21st century.
PS why do you often talk like an PF4AWG extra in a hip hop video?
@X IR Student.
ReplyDeleteNo diss meant yet that risible thinking is easily lol'd - Manifest Destiny (and all it's consequences) can hardly be attributed to the visionary vision Great Satan's Founders founded her on. Much the same could be said of our rowdy cuz's Down Under Yonder or Maple Leaflanders.
As for the style - just lucky? Anywrought - certainly smokes talking like a depraved realist, nicht wahr?
Hah. I like the German better, sehr gut, fraeulein! Im not sure what "visionary vision" means. It makes me confusingly confused? Anyway- the point is a simple one: colonialism is bad. It only works when the natives are taken out of the equation. And does that cost justify the ends, in your opinion?
ReplyDeleteNo one ever had a problem with Jews living in Palestine-in fact they lived together in harmony until Zionism first brought ethnic violence with the likes of the Stern Gang, Irgun Haganah etc (incidentally decades before Palestinians used organized terrorism to fight back).
Recall that the British architects of Israel (Balfour & Co) recognized that the project would be a disaster (yet proceeded anyway because of their Zionist lobbies), as did Ben Gurion and Herzl, who recognized ethnic cleansing was a necessary condition for the success of the zionist project.
So I think that's my point. Ethnic jews living in the region- great! Eastern European (and ethiopian and NY jews) getting cheap housing in the Palestinian WB so that some risible (as you would say) biblical prophecy (Eretz Yisrael means its all ours, no sharing, not ever otherwise God will be angry!) can be fulfilled?
@X IR - LOL! That's a smokescreen (and not a particularly well tho't out or convincing smokescreen either)
ReplyDeleteAlas, battlefield bona fides actually determine borders. Since Nazi time Deutschland and Imperial Nippon screamed "God! Please! Stop!" there have been born more than 100 nation states and the movements of hundreds of borders. Border moving - seldom agreeable to everyone - yet nation states accepted them as a settled border was better than war.
Germany accepted losing Prussia, Russia accepted the secession of Kazakstan and Serbs are handling the idea of Kosovo. The Greeks are handling Turkey's illegit occupation of Cyprus. Syria is doing just fine without Golan.
Even in 3rd world states gave up treasured aspirations rather than shed blood forever - Somalia gave up Ogaden, Guatemala stopped demanding Belize and Indonesia finally gave up East Timor.
There is one glaring, bizarro conspicuous exception to this willingness to accept facts - no matter how disappointing they are
Turf sweetly acquired in desperate victorious counterattacks should have ideally been annexed eons ago - and not to put too fine a point on it - might maybe still get all annexed.
Compare a map of Deutschland in 1911 with one in 2011. What the heck? Germany done shriveled up by nearly 25%! Why cause?
Because!
Repeatedly launching and repeatedly losing wars of aggression against a democratic member of the UN bears heavy costs.
And it's semi sorta funny (NOT!)that dreams of Palestine include the intolerant idea of no j'ish cats anywhere in the hood.
It would be way better for Arab League to absorb those poor folks with generous reparations for Arab League's collective abuse of Palestinians as strategic minority resources for eons now.
They could even call it the "3 Yeses of Khartoum"
yamahama..youre like the john bolton and ann coulter's love child. either that or this blog is the WINEP intern training centre.
ReplyDelete1. Territorial Conquests in War This is easy. The 1907 Hague Agreement and 1949 Geneva Conventions prohibit it absolutely. Secession is entirely distinguishable (hint: its always native populations who facilitate them) from colonialism (hint: the opposite of the previous hint) .
2. Khartoum's 3 Nos
If you can cite Shebaa Farms, Im sure you've heard of Benny Morris. He's Israel's most renowned and respected historian (also one of the first to find documentary evidence of intentional ethnic cleansing by the IDF in 1948). He happens to be a hard core zionist. According to the Old Boy Benny, the "3 Nos"-which you cite as such definitive evidence of Arab intransigence- were "a response to Israel's unwillingness or inability to consider withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza as part of any peace settlement." See also point #1 above.
3.Arab League Adoption
To assume that since the leaders of the Arab League (mostly corrupt despots supported by "Lil" & "Great Satan") share a broad and general ethnicity w Palestinians, they should somehow adopt Palestinians as their own is so bizarre and farcical it reminds me of the time Joe Biden bragged about "how the US and France kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon" back in the day. So consider the following analogy instead: if the Chinese ever decide to take the the territory of "Great Satan" as collateral for the trillions in debt youll probably not be able to pay them, it will be comforting to know that England or some other WASP representative country is a feasible option for shelter for you and many of your compatriots. John Yoo can go back to Korea, (or Japan, or China; all the same, just like Arabs!) Obama can go back to Hawaii, Hawaii can go back to the polynesians, Obama can then transfer to Kenya via Kansas...etc ad infintum.
4. Wars of Aggression
even Menachem Begin has admitted that Israel chose to launch the 1967 war (an EG of revisionism being necessary to balance the history written by victors problem). Not to mention Suez in 1956, Lebanon in 1976, 1982, 2006 (the initial military response was justifiable, the extent of the carnage wrought on Lebanon by the IDF was not), and of course the 2008 "White (Phosphorous) Christmas" in Gaza; you know, where they dropped bombs on a defenceless starving population that is literally mostly children that did not even have the opportunity to be refugees because Lil Satan and their pal Hosni boxed them in a de facto concentration camp.
Im not trying to pin all the blame on one side, but if you really think Arabs started more wars than Israel has over the past 60 years, or that somehow its all on the arabs, that israel is just doing its thing and defending where it must, then there's really not much else to say. I can't wake you up if you're only pretending to be asleep.
Oh Snap Professor - check it - being all anonymous no doubt actualizes asymmetrical abilities. Ad Hominems are free - use all you like!
ReplyDeleteAs to Begin and Morris - so what? They are certainly entitled to their opinions and while they may sound awesome in a climate controlled environment like a classroom surrounded by impartial reasonable smart ppl - 3 No's of Khartoum bear a heavy penance.
Absorbing refugees is often neither fun nor fair. More like a consequence, nicht wahr? 11 million ethnic Deutsch living in Central and Ost Europa—civies all—who were Xpelled from their homes and force-marched to Germany by the vic vic victorious Red Army, with help from the Czech and Polish govs and with the approval of 32 and Churchill. Prob 2 million died on the way.
At the nigh same incredible instant Mommy Indian subcontinent got all subdivided into two new countries, India and Pakistan; millions of certain elements moved from one to the other, and hundreds of thousands died in related violence.
Why cause Arab League is immune from funintended consequences? How is the League - alone of internat'l bodies - free to indulge in tribalish inhummanity on events the League and her especial members states enabled at best and actualized at worst?
High tme Arab League admitted their magical intolerance of their own kin with the same customs, dialects and religon, hooked up with hot revanchist fantasies - not Little Satan's 'illegit' combat earned 'occupation" of "disputed" turf - has totally queered the mix on the ME Forever Quest.
Battlefield exploits are not only 'real' in the realist/realpolitik extremis Westphalian thing - they are often final. Borders are most bloody things lots of times -settled by conflict - and for whatever reasons - like Russia redrawing the map with 3 nation states in 2 weeks in 2008 or the Ottoman's illegit blitz of Cyprus.
Based on your reading list, I woulda thunk that saying what i said would be taken as a compliment, not as a AH, nicht wahr?
ReplyDeleteyour ind/pak EG is a mango to the I/P olive. the area of india that became pakistan was and is overwhelmingly native asian muslim. on the other hand, "Israel" is being colonized by orthodox brooklyners and moldovan bouncers. again, its a subtle but important secession/colonialization distinction.
I can't compete w your rhetorical flourishes that are liberal on spin and gaunt on fact. 4 EG: your assumption that Abkhazia and South Ossetia are legit states recognized in the intl community (besides those paragons of legit authority russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Vanuatu, Nauru)
^oh, and of course, there's also more evidence of support, from Transnistria and Nagorno-Karabakh.
Im not sure i can say much in response to your regurgitation of the arab league tangent. ill just repeat that they are US supported despots, so your whole, "they reject palestinians/they are bad people" argument is one point that i completely agree with. the implications of that point, esp your solution that they adopt palestinian refugees, well, that's one logical leap that you're wayy ahead of me on.
btw, you cite a lot of WW2/pre war history as authority for rejecting a lot of standard intl law norms that were established in the wake of WW2. (EG rights of refugees, demarcation of intl boundaries etc)
ReplyDeletei suppose ill have to be patient and respect the fact that since you are still in undergrad, that learning process means you don't quite appreciate the significance of intl law and how those norms play out in the real world, even if only as guiding principles rather than SOPs.
Internat'l Law is a wonderful thing no doubt! How many panzer divisions does it sortee?
ReplyDeleteAs previously previewed in this very thread - of all the revanchism available - only Internat'l Law seems to be deployed vs Little Satan's accidental Empire
Arab League's neutralities and/or alliances are hardly a reason or excuse for their unified intolerance.
Not sure what the fakebelieve meme "they reject palestinians/they are bad people" argument incorrectly attributed to moi is called in IR Class - but at the mall it's loling dissed as a 'straw man'
The League is perfectly free to accept or reject whatever they collectvely deign. And those acceptances/rejections have results.
Also, immigrants to a nation state officially recog'd and crunk up by UN is quite an underwhelming raison d'etre for the entire sorry state of affairs.
Actually, your rhetorical flourishes are quite good - if only they were salient points
Pagan Temple, please don't discharge Kahanist stool in this posh club. If Little Satan is irritated enough with Kach to excrete it in the toilet, friends of Little Satan should not regurgitate it.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Little Satan
