Netanyahu Speaks for All Jews

It’s official: there are no Israelis, no American Jews, no British Jews or French Jews. There are only Jews, a suprastatal nation with headquarters in Israel, and their official representative who speaks for them all is the Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu. He said that he plans to address the joint session of the U.S. Congress [despite widespread opposition] to lobby against a nuclear deal with Iran, just as he went to Paris last month [uninvited, even urged to stay home] after the attack on a kosher supermarket:

“I went to Paris not just as the prime minister of Israel but as a representative of the entire Jewish people. Just as I went to Paris, so I will go anyplace I’m invited to convey the Israeli position against those who want to kill us. Those who want to kill us are, first and foremost, any Iranian regime that says outright it plans to destroy us.”

The MSM in the US did not give any space to this statement, which was reproduced in Ha’aretz, but that does not mean that most of “the entire Jewish people” are not perfectly aware of it, as it is in keeping with his stance all along.

Nevertheless, there has been no “not in my name” hand wringing, no disavowing of his official description of the relationship between Israel and “the entire Jewish people” as one between Motherland and its citizens who happen to be residing elsewhere but who are under its jurisdiction and, of course, protection.

No disavowal from any of the “progressive” Jewish voices. Just silence.

So that clarifies one thing: the Jewish citizens anywhere in the world, whether they carry an Israeli passport or not, are in fact Israeli citizens of the “Jewish State” residing abroad, and their state leader is the PM of Israel.

They should be properly referred to as “Jews residing in… (fill in the name of the respective country)” and regarded as resident aliens, apart and above the rest of citizenry. It may seem at times that their interests do not necessarily coincide — and indeed may often clash — with those of the nationals of the respective countries, but that happens only if those nationals fail to understand that Jewish interests are the real and important interests of their own countries and indeed of the world. Make that the “civilized world.” Once they understand that, the “nations” will also realize that even their own sense of nationhood and the viability of their country depends entirely on the Jews, as the French PM, Manuel Valls, explained, when he said that if only 100,000 of the half a million Jews residing in France were to leave, France will not longer be France and the republic would fail.

Netanyahu has been liberating in so many ways, almost as much as Sharon, dispensing with the tiring old game of talking out of both sides of one’s Jewish mouth. So, calling the Israeli Jews simply “Jews” and admitting that Jews are all essentially Israelis is no longer to be considered anti-semitic.

Given the current kerfuffle between Netanyahu and the White House, with some Jews supporting Obama (those who still think of him as The First Jewish President of the US), it is important to point out that the safest course to follow for the “entire Jewish people” is to remember that irrespective of who the Israeli PM is now or in the future, he speaks for all Jews and they are all, well, unhyphenated Jews.
