Miller is a comedian who has a show called Dennis Miller Live on HBO.
Although he is not Jewish, he recently had the following to say about
the Middle East situation:
'A brief overview of the situation
is always valuable, so as a service to all Americans who still don't get
it, I now offer you the story of the Middle East in just a few
paragraphs, which is all you really need.
Here we go:
The
Palestinians want their own country. There's just one thing about that:
There are no Palestinians . It's a made up word. Israel was called
Palestine for two thousand years. Like 'Wiccan,' 'Palestinian' sounds
ancient but is really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the
land in the 1967 war, Gaza was owned by Egypt , the West Bank was owned
by Jordan , and there were no 'Palestinians.'
As soon as the
Jews took over and started growing oranges as big as basketballs, what
do you know, say hello to the 'Palestinians,' weeping for their deep
bond with their lost 'land' and 'nation.'
So for the sake of honesty, let's not use the word 'Palestinian' any
more to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at our
deaths until someone points out they're being taped. Instead, let's call
them what they are: 'Other Arabs Who Can't Accomplish Anything In Life
And Would Rather Wrap Themselves In The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal
Struggle And Death.
' I know that's a bit unwieldy to expect to see
on CNN. How about this, then: 'Adjacent Jew-Haters .' Okay, so the
Adjacent Jew-Haters want their own country. Oops, just one more thing:
No, they don't. They could've had their own country. Any time in the
last thirty years, especially several years ago at Camp David . But If
you have your own country, you have to have traffic lights and garbage
trucks. And Chambers of Commerce, and, worse, you actually have to
figure out some
way to make a living.
That's no fun. No,
they want what all the other Jew-Haters in the region want: Israel. They
also want a big pile of dead Jews, of course that's where the real fun
is -- but mostly they want Israel .
Why? For one thing, trying to destroy Israel - or 'The Zionist Entity'
as their textbooks call it - for the last fifty years has allowed the
rulers of Arab countries to divert the attention of their own people
away from the fact that they're the blue-ribbon most illiterate,
poorest, and tribally backward on God's Earth, and if you've ever been
around God's Earth, you know that's really saying something.
It
makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes poetic about
the great history and culture of the Muslim Mideast. Unless I'm missing
something, the Arabs haven't given anything to the world since Algebra,
and, by the way, thanks a hell of a lot for that one.
Chew this around and spit it out: Five hundred million Arabs; five
Million Jews.
Think of all the Arab countries as a football field, and Israel as a
pack of matches sitting in the middle of it. And now these same folks
swear that if Israel gives them half of that pack of matches, everyone
will be pals.
Really? Wow, what neat news. Hey, but what about
the string of wars to obliterate the tiny country and the constant din
of rabid blood oaths to drive very Jew into the sea? Oh, that? We were
just kidding.
My friend, Kevin Rooney, made a gorgeous point
the other day: Just reverse the numbers. Imagine five hundred million
Jews and five million Arabs. I was stunned at the simple brilliance of
it. Can anyone picture the Jews strapping belts of razor blades and
dynamite to themselves? Of
course not. Or marshalling every fiber
and force at their disposal for generations to drive a tiny Arab State
into the sea? Nonsense.
Or dancing for joy at the murder of Innocents? Impossible.
Or spreading and believing horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread with the blood of children? Disgusting.
No, as you know, left to themselves in a world of peace, the worst Jews would ever do to people is debate them to death.
However, in any big-picture strategy, there's always a danger of losing
moral weight. We've already lost some. After September 11th our
president told us and the world he was going to root out all terrorists
and the countries that supported them. Beautiful. Then the Israelis,
after months and months of having the equivalent of an Oklahoma City
every week (and then every day) start to do the same thing we did, and
we tell them to show restraint.
If America were being attacked
with an Oklahoma City every day, we would all very shortly be screaming
for the administration to just be done with it and kill everything south
of the Mediterranean and east of the Jordan .
