The Deadly Global Threat of Israeli Houses

There are few weapons as deadly as the Israeli house. When its bricks and mortar are combined together, the house, whether it is one of those modest one story hilltop affairs or a five floor apartment building complete with hot and cold running water, becomes far more dangerous than anything green and glowing that comes out of the Iranian centrifuges.
Forget the cluster bomb and the mine, the poison gas shell and even tailored viruses. Iran can keep its nuclear bombs. They don’t impress anyone in Europe or in Washington DC. Genocide is equally not worthy of attention when in the presence of the fearsome weapon of terror that is an Israeli family of four moving into a new apartment downwind from Jerusalem.
Sudan may have built a small mountain of African corpses, but it can’t expect to command the full and undivided attention of the world until it does something truly outrageous like building a house and filling it with Jews. Since the Sudanese Jews are as gone as the Jews of Egypt, Iraq, Syria and good old Afghanistan, the chances of Bashir the Butcher pulling off that trick are rather slim.
Due to the Muslim world’s shortsightedness in driving out its Jews from Cairo, Aleppo and Baghdad to Jerusalem, the ultimate weapon in international affairs is entirely controlled by the Jewish State. The Jewish State’s stockpile of Jews should worry the international community far more than its hypothetical stockpiles of nuclear weapons. No one besides Israel, and possibly Saudi Arabia, cares much about the Iranian bomb. But when Israel builds a house, then the international community tears its clothes, wails, threatens to recall its ambassadors and boycott Israeli peaches.
You can spit on the White House carpets and steal all the gold in Greece. You can blow up anything you like and threaten anyone you will, but you had better not lift a drill near Gilgal, where Joshua and a few million escaped Hebrew slaves pitched their camp.
Some may think that genocide or nuclear weapons are the ultimate weapons, but as we see, time and time again, the ultimate weapon is a hammer and a fistful of nails in a Jewish hand. How can even the most talented Iranian nuclear scientist hope to compete with the humble tools of a Jewish carpenter?
Obama has yet to respond to the Muslim Brotherhood coup in Egypt. The gangs of paid rapists assaulting women in Tahrir Square on behalf of the Sharia state are nothing for the White House to worry about. Tunisian protesters against Islamist rule are losing their eyes, but Tunisian eyes come and go, Jewish houses are forever.
Everyone has their standards and he and the international community have theirs. There are things that we all cannot abide. And for all the Miss America answers about ending war, hunger and people who wear plaid in public, the one thing that everyone will stand up against or sit down in opposition to is the Israeli house.
White House officials are already insisting that Netanyahu “humiliated” Obama by authorizing the building of houses. This is the worst Israeli crime since two years ago when the city of Jerusalem passed some houses through one stage of a multi-stage approval process while Biden was visiting the country.
Hillary called it an insult and spent two hours yelling at Netanyahu over the phone. Axelrod declared it an affront. Biden was so furious that he refused to come down for dinner until an hour later. For weeks the media howled that Netanyahu had humiliated Obama through the dastardly act of allowing one of the country’s mayors to approve housing while the sacred presence of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr was intersecting with Israeli airspace.
While Russia may threaten war against the United States, China may mock the United States at a ceremonial banquet in the White House, Iran and North Korea may play Obama for a fool, but only Israel has managed to achieve official recognition for “insulting and humiliating” Obama, without even trying, proving once again that the Jewish race is so talented that it often achieves things that other people may only dream of, without even realizing that they are doing it.
Now that Netanyahu has gone to the mattresses, literally, by authorizing new housing, the media has begun braying that Israel has humiliated Obama all over again. They say that every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings. But every time an Israeli jackhammer roars, Obama stands, like that famous trash-mourning fake Indian, off Highway 1 between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, with a tear slowly making its way down one glistening cheek at the sight of another humiliating Israeli house.

Very well stated.
A global threat People if you want to see a global threat to housing. Visit the low income projects located in all 50 USA states. That is a global threat re. drug sales, gang control, prostitution, gun running ect. You know it’s bad if local police avoid going to these locations.
lol…but I can tell you that no one can harangue my eardrums for 5 minutes let alone 2 hours over the telephone. No I wouldn't hang up, I would merely put the receiver under a pillow and let them rant on until they realize I'm not there. Perhaps that is what Netanyahu did.
Yes, the housing situation in Israel does seem to garner the ire of the international community and the hypocrisy is so thick you can cut it with a knife. But, on a grander scale, it all comes down to one thing, Antisemitism. I feel very strongly that Israel must change its reactions to such injustice, forget about what others say, and base their decisions on how will something collectively effect Israel, not outsiders. For example, Israel has a right to build wherever and whenever they see fit and the decision to build should not be based on what the Europeans, the U.N., or even the U.S. thinks is best. This is why I was always against the "land for peace" tactics because it failed to bolster security for Israel. ln fact, land for peace has increased violence. Likewise, Israel made the mistake of pulling out of secure checkpoints like Gaza. If Israel remained in Gaza we wouldn't have all the trouble with the Palestinians and terrorist groups. But, Israel must turn a deaf ear to antisemitism in organizations like the U.N. this year once again, the U.N. levied all human rights and war crimes against Israel except for four other nations. The U.N. is a disgraceful and corrupt organization and personally I think Israel should completely pull out of the U.N. , it's nothing but a sewer. On occasions when the U.S. has a pro Arab president, like we do now, Israel needs to stand up for itself and say we will decide for ourselves what's best for us, not you. Israel should have told Hillary Clinton on her recent visit, thanks for stopping by, we appreciate your concern, but this operation against Hamas will continue until they are completely rooted out. Too many innocent Israelis have been killed by them and they have to go. It's very disturbing for me to see the most democratic and morally centered nation in the middle east and the world be treated with such contempt. But, Israel must learn to care of itself and make decisions on what is best for them and stop bowing to pressure of antisemitic nemesis stake holders, it's imperative for the survival of the Jewish state.
Oh the irony to the American Christian!

Well stated, just the same.
You don't see satire that cuts reality like that very often. I would have laughed several times if Mr. Greenfield hadn't cut so deeply. I'm not Jewish, but I never understood the hatred against Hebrews either. In fact, I was driving through the country today and saw a swastika painted over a road-sign that indicated the upcoming curve, and it should have bothered me more than it did. Repetition makes us callous I guess. The road-sign before the swastika was painted with bullet holes, which makes me think after reading the article…Is it possible that people who harbor such hatreds don't give a crap about anybody else? The nearby cornstalks, the birds, and the few drivers that pass that sign on occasion aren't Jewish, so what was the point?
I'm taking a stand right now. Dreidels are not scary, made of clay or otherwise. Jewish homes are not scary, brick, wood, or concrete. Women being treated as equals are not scary. Respecting your neighbors is not scary. Educating your children so that they can live a peaceful life is not scary. Wanting to live in the lands of your ancestors is not scary.
Here's what should scare the world:
1. You can't predict the losses the world, as a whole, would suffer if you take the innovators out of the equation. Sorry if I'm the only one who notices a culture that breeds innovation because it respects the creator, education, elders, women, and family. Groups that focus on hate are more likely to cure life with death than they are to cure cancer or AIDS. I'm siding with the group that does the most good and respects their own mothers the most…and mothers who don't strap bombs to their own children, breaking one of the Creator's most sacred laws.
2. Who do we think Hitler would have wiped out next once he got rid of the Jews? "Who's next?," said the nazi once the last Hebrew was gone. Christians? Honkies? Africans of African descent? Gypsies? Brits? Germans? French? Atheists? Chinese? And if God really wanted anybody dead, He'd kill them Himself. It's a form of blasphemy to think we have the right to erase any other group from the face of the planet, especially the ones who kept the faith alive long enough for the following religions to follow. IF God is so great and so determined to have them wiped out, wouldn't He do it Himself with the old bag of sticks?
Only fools with suicidal tendencies bow before people who hold a bloodied sword over their heads. I have trust issues and a bit of history that tells me not to trust any man who just killed an entire race of people…I don't care how cool he thinks he looks with that little mustache. It almost happened once, and I'd rather bow before the swordsman than to see another try it again.
Trust me. The guy that cures cancer isn't going to be the guy that blew himself up in a vain attempt to get some action in the afterlife. We are not meant to be tools of destruction. That's the territory of hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis…
You let that domino fall, and all bets are off…
Even Earl and Randy understand cause and effect.
I loved your article Mr, Greenfield, it's full of a wise Jewish humor, How crazy is this world we have been attacked by every nation just for building homes, all there is to do is to laugh. Thank you.
I loved it! shows what a crazy world we live in! such irony! keep em coming!
Bravo, Mr. Daniel Greenfield
