Cal Thomas is the kind of deviant religious bigot who
spices his writings with derogatory remarks about "those who take
orders from Allah, who wants all infidels dead". (Cal Thomas, July
31,2000 Jewish World Review). If he is in a particularly vicious mood,
which is every other article, he will throw in a word about
"murderous Islam" that he assures his readers has "a devine
mandate to destroy the West".
A word about Cal Thomas’s religion. The man is a zealot
who believes in a unique form of ‘Zionist’ Christianity, a cult that
longs for the fulfillment of "the ancient prophesies that foretell
Armageddon." To demonstrate his deep longing for Armageddon; which is
always just around the corner; He quotes Oscar Hammerstein "But it’s
coming, by God. You can feel it come; you can feel it in your heart, you
can see it in the ground, you can see it in the trees; you can smell it in
the breeze."
Cal Thomas is free to believe whatever he wants to
believe. The problem is that a nut like Cal Thomas does not want to just
sit back and wait for Armageddon to take its own time coming. He wants to
be an active agent in making it happen. The old depraved fool, with one
foot in the grave, wants to make it happen quickly so he can get to watch
it with his grand kids on CNN. No doubt, he fully expects Wolf Blitzer to
be on the scene in Tel Aviv, having fulfilled his part of the deal to ‘go
back in the Holy Land with his people’, ready to give a blow by blow
account of what comes down.
This is how the cosmos works for fundamentalist extremists
like Cal. According to this cult, the expulsion of the Palestinians in
1948 was a good thing, but not enough of a good thing. He wants the rest
of them out of the Holy Land; Christian Palestinians included. Next, he
wants all the Jews of the world to pick up and go back to "where they
came from" because according to this school of "Christian
Zionism", that is another specific requirement for ‘the last days’.
Now, I don’t care if Cal Thomas believes the earth is
flat as long as he doesn’t advocate the use of our nuclear arsenal to
flatten it. But as a Christian Zionist, he feels no qualms about asking
our government and the government of Israel to get the ball rolling, so we
can hasten the coming of Armageddon. Note that this bigot is a big ‘hit’
with the right wing Likud crowd in the American Jewish Press. They have
different "faith traditions", but both want the natives of
Palestine to find somewhere else to live. Or somewhere else to die.
First things first. To enhance his spiritual experience,
to confirm his ‘faith tradition’, Cal Thomas wants the American and
Israeli government to exile the Arabs. "It should now be clear that
Israel cannot tolerate a huge Arab population within its borders, so a
political decision must be made. Most Arabs and Palestinians appear to be
nonviolent but it can be difficult to tell the difference...Israel should
declare its intention to transfer large numbers of its Palestinian
residents to Arab nations...Eviction is a better avenue to stability. Will
it happen? Probably not. Should it? Yes." (June 6, 2001, Jewish World
view).
Not many people will be surprised that a fascist like Cal
Thomas feels comfortable advocating ‘transfer’, another word for ‘ethnic
cleansing". The instructive thing here is that Thomas is considered a
‘mainstream’ journalist who is syndicated by the Tribune Media Service
and appears regularly in the Washington Times and the Jewish World Review.
He is considered a ‘conservative’ who still gets an invite to have a
chat with Vice President Dick Chenney. So, you have to wonder if some of
his conservative pals in high places share his ‘visions’ of expelling
the Palestinians. Lets get one thing straight; if you believe in
collective punishment, you are a barbarian beyond redemption. Cal Thomas
is not a ‘conservative’, he is a bona fide right wing extremist. He is
Jim Jones on a bad hair day. I can hear him trying to coax the
Palestinians out of their ancient villages "Come to me my Palestinian
babies". What kind of poison are you going to mix in the Kool aid,
Cal? This sorry excuse of a human being has, so far, been considered just
a bad joke; the only people who buy into his crap are Likudniks and guys
who are waiting for Armageddon with ants in their pants. But now he has
exposed his deeply held bizarre Christian supremacist views. His views, of
course, are not original. They are views that were shared by another man,
in another time in a place called Nueremberger.
If you want to get a handle on what Cal has in mind, go
read the Nazi Nueremberger laws on Citizenship and Race passed by the
Nazis in 1935. Go read about Krystallnacht. "This international
unrest in the world would unfortunately seem to have given rise to the
view amongst the Jews within Germany that the time has come openly to
oppose Jewish interests to those of the German nation. From numerous
places vigorous complaints have been received of the provocative action of
individuals belonging to this people, and the remarkable frequency of
these reports and the similarity of their contents point to a certain
system of operation." Part of Hitler’s Speech in the Reichstag on
the Nuremeberg Laws, September, 1935.
Now compare Hitler’s reasoning to Cal Thomas who
complains that although "Most Arabs and Palestinians appear to be
nonviolent" they need to be exiled because it "can be difficult
to tell the difference". The only person who deserves to be exiled is
Cal Thomas; out of mainstream journalism to the fringe right wing Nazi
rags where he will find fellow travelers.
The 500 Palestinians who have been killed in the
eight-month struggle for an independent Palestinian State are
proportionally equivalent to the number of Americans who died in Korea.
Logistically, an Israeli population of 5 million (minus Israeli Arabs) has
to keep three million Palestinians under a curfew. Imagine the American
Army having to put all of Mexico under house arrest under penalty of
death, so that we can protect our ‘American retirement settlements’ in
Baja.
The Palestinians have endured 34 years of Israeli military
occupation that operates with two sets of law books, one for Israeli
settlers and another for the Palestinian natives. It is, by any
definition, a belligerent racist occupation designed to permanently alter
the demographics to a level that would eliminate the creation of a
Palestinian state.
Cal Thomas thinks the Israelis are ‘soft’. Why occupy
these people when you can evict them.
In Cal’s estimate, the Palestinians are just not the
kind of folks who should have front row seats when the Armageddon
fireworks start. He endorses Emanuel Winston’s belief that no Arab
country "trusts or welcomes the Palestinians…knowing full well
their reputation for breaking agreements and conspiring against their host
government".
So, if Cal wants the Palestinians out and there is no one
to take them in, what next? I am certain that Cal, together with war
criminal buddies like Sharon, can think up a ‘final solution’ of some
kind, one that would bring a smile to the face of another man, in another
time, cut from the same evil cloth.
If Cal Thomas had proposed deporting African-Americans,
which he probably wants to do, he knows he would get his eyes plucked out.
But it is always easy for a spineless low-breed bigot like Thomas to take
a Hitler style swipe at the Palestinians. This creep needs to crawl back
into the hole he came from and wait for Armageddon to come in its own
sweet time. One last thing, keep that nut away from the kids. If your
paper carries Cal Thomas, your kids will be constantly exposed to the kind
of bigot who would have been kissing his Fuhrer’s derriere at Nuremberg
.
