Facts are Stubborn Thing

Apparently there is an Irish Proverb — a clear take on Roman ‘divide and conquer” — which says to the effect, if two neighbors are fighting, at least one of them was visited by a Brit another day.

Of all people, Irish should know. And so should the rest of the world, which hardly has a place not visited by a Brit another day. Scratch a conflict, find a Brit.

Case in point — the recent scandal with the so called “Columbia Palestinian activist,” Mahmoud Khalil. He has British birthmarks all over him, even though he was first presented as an innocent victim of all powerful Jewish lobby that sicked Trump on an innocent grad student from Columbia.

Really? The dude — as The Guardian and other British outlets began to report — worked for years for the British Embassy in Syria and his British handler there was the character named Andrew Waller. Waller has his resume online, and it speaks volumes both about him and the British activity in conflict zones in general. \ He worked in Lybia, Syria, Jordan, Mali, Afghanistan, Sahel. You name it, if there is trouble, there is Waller.

Another version of this British mercenary, Le Mesurier, who organized White Helmets. Remember this nasty cheating lying group? They are now enjoying what they’ve sow in Syria. That’s what Waller did in Syria, according to his own resume: “Led a policy review for northern Syria, developing diplomatic options to help manage the UK’s relations with the Syrian opposition, Syrian Democratic Forces and Government of Turkey on both humanitarian and national security issues.”

Translation: he worked with Turkey to arm the headchoppers who are now genociding people in western Syria. Allowites, Christians, that sort of thing. In any case, Waller is all over the news reporting what a stellar guy this Khalil was. Here is from The Guardian: “Khalil went on to work for the British government’s foreign office on Syrian issues from inside Lebanon. He looked after the Chevening scholarship program and managed projects with a focus on accountability, justice and gender equality in Syria. “Mahmoud is an extremely kind and conscientious person and he was loved by his colleagues at the Syria office,” the former British diplomat Andrew Waller, who worked as a policy adviser at the time, told Middle East Eye. Khalil then went on to intern for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, in their New York headquarters, according to his LinkedIn.”

And what does Chevenning scholarship do? But of course. “Brings potential leaders to England” to brainwash them into British way of governing. Another form of Rhodes scholarship, in other words. In any case. While there are plenty of suggestions on how to solve middle eastern crisis in general and Gaza in particular, it is clear to anyone, that bringing a former British asset, who worked in Lebanon and Syria at promoting British interests, bringing that student to Columbia and putting him in charge of negotiation with Columbia University on divesting from Israel, is hardly one of them.

Columbia is my Alma Mater. Occasionally, i give them money. The money which are expected to help people to get education, exactly as I was helped when I landed in NYC in 1979. Why does some Syrian guy working for Brits and supervising gender equality in Syria, should decide where this money go, is not clear to me.

Even less clear is how his attempts to bully Columbia money-handling office can accomplish anything, except intimidating Jewish students and Jewish administrators in New York?

And what is “gender equality in Syria’? Butchering women along with men, as Waller/Khalil disciples just did? But of course, for gullible fools suffering from TDS and convinced that anyone who wraps his neck in keffiyeh is a hero, it is exactly Khalil who knows. Except look at his British instructors’ record. Facts are stubborn thing, as even Stalin was forced to concede.
