Israel’s Netanyahu: a clown sitting on a huge pile of weapons of mass destruction

Bibi Baby

On 30 April Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu provided a fascinating glimpse into a psychotic tribal mind. A clown who sits on a huge pile of weapons of mass destruction, an arsenal of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons designed to kill millions, is crying foul, complaining that another state in the region may attempt to equip itself with similar weapons as a means of deterrence. Netanyahu’s performance looked like a raging toddler pointing to another toddler’s nappy while his own pampers dripped from every direction. 

Israel is widely believed to be the only nuclear-armed state in the Middle East. Israel has never allowed any international body into its nuclear and other WMD facilities.

Netanyahu’s performance looked like a raging toddler pointing to another toddler’s nappy while his own pampers dripped from every direction.

The international community was unimpressed by Bibi’s absurd theatrics.  A senior European diplomat told Reuters: “We knew all of this and what especially stands out is that Netanyahu doesn’t speak of any recorded violations of the 2015 Iran deal.” It does not take a genius to gather that if Iran stored its 1999-2003 nuclear research archive in an unprotected warehouse, it didn’t regard the information as a strategic or sensitive asset.

Why are Netanyahu and the Israelis horrified by possibility of an Iranian nuclear project? The reason is most likely projection. Israel operates as the regional bully. Its relationship with its neighbours is defined by crude violence and abuse. It is only human and natural for abusers to assume that their victims are as violently inclined as they themselves are. The Israelis tend to attribute their own violent traits to the Palestinians, to the Iranians and to Muslims in general. This psychological tendency is called projection. It is a vicious cycle: the more abusive you are, the more haunted you become by the notion that your victims may be as malevolent as you have been.

Jesus Christ identified this psychological trait in his fellow Hebrews and counselled them on how to counter this barbarian tendency. Instead of believing their neighbours are evil, he told them to love their neighbour and turn the other cheek. It didn’t take long before Jesus was nailed to the cross. But his message has remained with much of humanity. I would like to believe that when the Bibis of the world find their path towards compassion, the Jewish State will be redeemed and matured. I won’t hold my breath for that to happen anytime soon.
