The Devil Sings Again

The message for the rest of us is clear- Israel is the biggest threat to world peace.

(LONDON) - Israel National News published today a poem by Itamar Yaoz-Kest, a Holocaust survivor. The poem is presented as “letter-poem in reply to German Günter Grass’ attack.” The poem is a clear reminder of horrific danger that is embedded within Jewish identity politics and contemporary Jewish nationalism. It is a glimpse into unique psychotic genocidal sense of retribution.

The “letter-poem” starts as follows:

    Danger,

    I want to be a danger,

    I want to be a danger to the world,

    so that after my destruction, not a single blade of grass will remain on the face of the Earth,

    or a single blade of grass for Gunther Grass’s pipe,

    upon the Earth where, since I was born, I pose a danger to the world.

    Because it is my right!

    It is my right to live or die while annihilating my annihilators, without riding again as a crying-boy in a transport train,

    Into the world-vacuum, while placing my head in the lap of a mother who is disappearing into the fresh air of the Land of Wotan,

    and the urine tin darts dark-yellow specks onto the walls of the cabin – like gunshots that spray

    a yellowish-reddish liquid from besides the train guards, and among them – maybe – the soldier G.G., also, wearing a steel helmet.

Later in the poem, Yaoz-Kest issues what appears to be a statement of intent along the lines of “the Samson Option”:

    “For it is the right of the Nation of Israel to finally shut the gates to the world after it leaves this place (not of its free will!), and we have the right to say, at the price of the 3,000 year old fear: “If you force us yet again to descend from the face of the Earth to the depths of the Earth – let the Earth roll toward the Nothingness.”

The Samson Option – taking out Israel’s enemies with it, possibly causing irreparable damage to the entire world – has been a phantasmic Israeli strategy since the early 1950’s.

The message for the rest of us is clear- Israel is the biggest threat to world peace. Time is overdue to discharge the Jewish State of its destructive power.
