The Blame Game: A Family Affair

By tlcorbin

While my siblings and I were growing up, the competition among us for the attention of our parents was at times bizarre in many of its manifestations.  Admittedly our family group was decidedly dysfunctional, a fact that would have been painfully obvious, in the light of even casual scrutiny, by anyone not bereft of a moral compass of one sort or another.

Our brilliantly devious younger sister would occasionally get mad at us boys for one reason or another and extract revenge; a favorite strategy of hers would be to start a quarrel and pummel on her targeted victim(s) while screaming for ‘MOM’ to help.  It would usually draw mom (or our stepdad) into the fracas; which would trigger the immediately launching of their knee jerk corporal punisher mode.  With mom, it was the ‘Angry Hateful Belt Slinger’ whose temper wasn’t slaked until the bruises and cuts from the belt lashings were convincingly manifested along with a pain wracked victim(s) writhing on the floor.  With the stepdad, it would be worse; he was a sadistic bi-sexual pedophile and an enforcer for the local mob.  Sis usually got her moment in the family spotlight.

Even though sis got her revenge, none of us escaped unscathed; the Middle East is like members of that sadly dysfunctional family and its history parallels some of ours as well.

How so?

Let me set up a cast of characters for you, based upon my family:

• Family shall represent the world’s diverse members at large
• Sister shall represent the Palestinian’s in general
• Boys shall represent the Israeli’s in general
• Mom shall represent the UN Counsel
• Stepdad shall represent the cult of radical Islam specifically

The back story is a never ending soap opera consisting of 10,000 micro plots, which began long before the Jesus of Christianity or the prophet of Islam came onto the world stage; it likely began with Abraham, credited to be the father the Jewish people, and later adopted by Islam and Christianity as a means to legitimize their existence.

The recent episode that has nerves frayed is an incident that occurred between the boys and their sister.  One of the boys told their sister not to do something that she planned on doing or that there would be severe negative consequences.  Angry and headstrong, the sister proceeded to do what felt she needed to do and immediately began screaming for her mom.  Mom and stepdad sided together to find out what was going on.  The sister had decided to bring a few boats loads of toys into the boys’ playground in spite of their warning.

As a result of poor past behavior and resenting the fact that mom gave the playground exclusively to the boys, little sister was constantly fixated and plotting to get her share of the playground, whether the boys or mom liked it or not.  She just knew that she was entitled to a share of the playground and willing to do anything to spite her family and to slake her greed and pride, she eventually did the unthinkable, she solicited help from her stepdad who was all too pleased to help; but the help came with a heavy toll.  Sadly, sister sold her soul and body to gain his help.  Stepdad took her favors and kept the conflict with the boys going, because it suited his purposes.

That incident with the ships being boarded recently by Israeli commandos, who were attacked immediately by the ‘peaceful’ Palestinians on board leading to the loss of several lives, is making the news today; it is a continuation of that family feud that has gone beyond the boundaries of reason.

Let me remind you about the thoughts that I shared in a recent post, which opines that “Today’s Palestinian people aren’t widely invited by fellow Muslim countries to immigrate, why not?  Is it because they (the Palestinians) are largely made up of genetic Jews converted to Islam under the sword after the Diaspora and their Islamic string pullers delight in having Jew’s killing Jew’s.  After all, Jews rebuffed Mohammed as a prophet and delighted in exposing his ignorance of biblical history in a mean spirited manner, aren’t they now justified in persecuting a war against Judaism with converted Jewish dogs for that obvious slight?”

Beware of the vengeful wrath of a mom and stepdad blinded by sisters’ wailings and their own dark desires, or we will all suffer the consequences; there are closet monsters darker than the forces of hell at work– the holy lands dysfunctional family curse.
