Israel made herself international scapegoat. Europeans have little to offer the Muslims; Israel is a perfect object for Europeans to show their commitment to Muslims. Strong pro-American Israel is anathema to Europeans. For American presidents, Israel is an easy option to gain reputation of peacemaker or ardent diplomat, or simply divert public attention from their sexual or political misdeeds. Israel is great for everyone to kick around. Jews cling for support, responsive to peace initiatives, eager for foreign money, moralistic, important – and, in the end, would somehow survive even if peace destroys their state. Arabs are different: realistic, brutal, well financed from oil racket, strongly nationalist – not bendable to American or European instructions. Jewish and Arab rulers are similarly corrupt, but Arabs take money and do nothing in return; they make a favor by taking bribes while the Jews repay manifold. The West bribes Israeli politicians with grants to their foundations and simply media attention, Israeli military – with tactically useless hyper-expensive American weapons, Israeli oligarchs – with concessions and access to restricted foreign markets. As Voltaire remarked, if the Jews get their state, they would sell it.

The alternative to the role models of suicidally moralistic or detestably corrupt Jew is the Jew who conquered Canaan. And he is not the thing of the past.
