The story is a European fable about a vain emperor who loves parades and
new clothing to march along in them.
Two new tailors come to the kingdom spreading stories of their wonderful talents and exceptional
fabrics.
The lure works and the emperor has his deputy order the new robes for the next parade. Measurements
were taken and soon the anxious emperor has the deputy check on the tailors' progress. At the shop the astounded deputy watches
as the tailors move around as if they are making clothes, but they have no tools or instruments in their empty hands and there
is no cloth anywhere to be seen.
Finally the two charlatans ask how the confused deputy likes the wonderful fabric and the stitching.
Before the deputy answers one of the tailors leaks the clincher. "You know this cloth is so special that only intelligent
people can see it. Stupid people cannot even see it!"
"Is it possible," thought the deputy, deparately. "Am I stupid? No
one must know! Why the fabric is sublime; it's magnificent", replied the deputy in compliance with the ruse.
Well pretty soon, when the tailors deliver the imaginary boxes to the palace, the emperor
is also induced to comply with the ruse. Finally the entire court, fearing that their "stupidity" will be discovered, voluntarily
comply with the ruse.
The day of the parade arrives and the emperor goes through the motions of dressing in the new
robes. He marches stark naked through the streets of his kingdom to the cheering and applause of his subjects...until one
small boy sees him and shouts, "The emperor is naked!"
If this fable reminds you of Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin and Slick Willy Clinton tailoring the
so-called Oslo Accords for a peace parade between Israel and the Paleostinian murderers; it should. Israel began
marching in a peace parade completely denuded of any substantial guarantees, of any enforcement options and of any hope
whatsoever. As she marched to the delutional peace, Israel was joined by the cheering world as she stripped herself of
her own territory and turned out her own soldiers to vacate her citizens from Gaza, parts of Judea and Samaria and
Hebron. Now with shouts of glee from the world at the advances toward peace, Israel proclaims further territorial concessions
as she marches nakedly along, now with rockets raining down on her citizens from the terrritory she surrendered
to her mortal enemies who go along with the ruse and snickeringly assure her that her heart is in the right place.
So where is the boy in this story, you might ask? Well actually there are lots of people shouting
for Israel to stop disrobing in public; to start defending her citizens; to recapture its territory from proven terrorists.
But the emperor in the real geopolitical story has been rendered impervious to reason or logic and has been stripped of normal
human instincts for survival. In addition, the emperor has been joined by smiling, demonic friends cheering her on to
the next suicidal concession and the next and the next until the emperor, enjoying his society of fiends, is hell bent on
following their cheers into the abyss.
I guess Shimon Peres, Ehuds Olmert and Barak & Co. share the conventional wisdom that says,
"We all have to die of something, so let's have fun and enjoy the company of our friends in America and Europe."
What additional outrage must Ehud Olmert commit before you Israelis commit him to a mental
hospital ?
What kind of a leash do you cowardly Generals, sworn to defend Israel, allow to be held in
the guilty criminal hands of Ehud Olmert - the Nero of Israel - so you can allow the terrorist rockets
to kill and wound our people unchallenged ?
To the boys out there shouting that the emperor has no clothes, I say this. " Don't be sheep led to slaughter by false, smiling devilish friends conspiring to slaughter
you once again as the "civilized world" did 60 years ago."
RECOMMENDATION
Seizing an Opportunity to Save Ourselves
Since there is no leader or active focal point in Israel a successful coupe lacks
foundation. Therefore a potential focal point needs to be developed so we can gather around a strategy which can save us from
the total collapse being orchestrated by the suicidal Olmert and Company.
The infant Manhigut Yehudit faction of the Likud may actually be able to attract the
right people to say what is needed in the right tone which will bring our people together before our God and before
our enemies so that we come out of this period with victory. While Manhigut Yehudit
is a weak thread in a corrupted Likud Party, it is still a thread connected to our Torah Zionist neshamot, i.e., souls.
I believe that it may be able to receive God's blessing in establishing a platform for
focusing our people and gathering them around our God and our Torah and our destiny. Decide for yourselves - www.jewishisrael.org.
May the LORD GOD of Israel bless you with VICTORY.
