Yeshiva University map removes the Green Line

By 23

Yeshiva University poster
A concerned Jewish friend notes:

Several days ago Yeshiva University held the 8th Annual Medical Ethics Society Conference called “Prescribing for a Nation” and the flyer for the conference had a large map of Israel with no Green Line, no West Bank and Gaza, no Palestinian Authority, no Palestinians at all. Greater Israel– par excellence.

I think (that is, I hope) that thee are MDs who recognize a Medical ethics problem, and wish to study it or solve it. The ethics question is what to do for the mentally-disturbed folks (in Israel and their enablers here) who see “Israel” as a new name for “Palestine” and who have forgotten the existence of green-line, international law, human rights, etc.

After all, this is a very serious medical/mental problem, bordering on psychosis (personal psychosis, for people who can no longer recognize elements of reality, and national psychosis).

These are people (potential patients) who are busily steering their lives in such a way that great harm is done to innocent people (mainly Palestinians, but also Lebanese, Syrians) and great harm is also done to the harm-doers (mostly Israelis) whose children are going down the tubes of militant fascist indoctrination and practice.

In WWII, we got over the problem of wishing to excuse the ordinary German and Japanese citizens who were being misled by militarists and we said — let’s defeat the militarists and hit all of them hard just as if all are guilty, even those who were misled. At a certain point regular citizens become guilty of the crimes of their governments.

Doctors might be able to steer off a military “solution” to Israel’s near-psychosis by TALK therapy, starting with the MDs themselves loudly and publicly describing the disease.

MY COMMENT: I’m not a doctor, but I would say the prognosis is quite poor due to the constant brainwashing* that the Israeli’s are exposed to. I suspect that Israel passed the “tipping point” some years ago.

* URI AVNERY ON THE “BRAINWASHING” OF THE ISRAELIS:
“Israel’s Weird Elections”, by Uri Avnery, Counterpunch, 1/04/13:

[EXCERPTS] . . . The Israeli media are already to a large extent neutralized, a creeping process not unsimilar to what the Germans used to call Gleichschaltung. [SEE: Gleichschaltung @- Wikipedia – J.L.D. ]
All three TV channels are more or less bankrupt and dependent on government handouts. Their editors are practically government appointees. The printed press is also teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, except the largest “news” paper, which belongs to Sheldon Adelson and is a Netanyahu propaganda sheet, distributed gratis. [Naftali] Bennett repeats the ridiculous assertion that almost all journalists are left-wingers (meaning traitors.) He promises to put an end to this intolerable situation. . .
. . . In the coming four years, the official annexation of the West Bank to Israel may become a fact. . .
. . . If the government continues on its present course, this will lead to certain disaster – the entire country between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River will become one unit under Israeli rule. This Greater Israel will contain an Arab majority and a shrinking Jewish minority, turning it inevitably into an apartheid state, plagued by a permanent civil war and shunned by the world.
If pressure from without and within eventually compels the government to grant civil rights to the Arab majority, the country will turn into an Arab state. 134 years of Zionist endeavor will come to naught, a repetition of the Crusaders’ kingdom.
This is so obvious, so inevitable, that one needs an iron will not to think about it. It seems that all major parties in these elections have this will. Speaking about peace, they believe, is poison. Giving back the West Bank and East Jerusalem for peace? God forbid even thinking about it.
The weird fact is that this week two respected polls – independent of each other – came to the same conclusion: the great majority of Israeli voters favors the “two-state solution”, the creation of a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders and the partition of Jerusalem. This majority includes the majority of Likud voters, and even about half of Bennett’s adherents.
How come? The explanation lies in the next question: How many voters believe that this solution is possible? The answer: almost nobody. Over dozens of years, Israelis have been brainwashed into believing that “the Arabs” don’t want peace. If they say they do, they are lying.
If peace is impossible, why think about it? Why even mention it in the election campaign? Why not go back 44 years to Golda Meir’s days and pretend that the Palestinians don’t exist? (“There is no such thing as a Palestinian people…It is not as though there was a Palestinian people and we came and threw them out and took their country away. They did not exist.” – Golda Meir, June 13, 1969) . . .

And the map looks exactly like a placard I saw during a march that said: “Palestine: One Nation from the River to the Sea.”
