The Samson Option

Just as we have mad Mullah’s, we also have Rad Rabbi’s and Crazy Christians (lolz) and it seems that they are all trying to outdo each other in an Apocalyptic frenzy of self fulfilling prophecy. Dr McCairn highlighted the fact in his last stream that Christopher Jon Bjerknes (CJB) had been warning that they were paying the role of Samson in his struggle against the Philistines (read here Palestinians).

The Palestinians are a Semitic people like the Jews and yet they are named after the Philistines who were a non-Semitic people. The original Philistines also settled in Gaza so it seems that the Palestinians have been given a designated eschatological role to play as the “bad guys” whereas Israel plays the role of Samson.  Samson was the last of the Judges before the tribal system of loose federation was replaced with a Monarchical system and CJB suggests that this  reflects Benjamin Netanyahu reforming the Judicial system (the Judges) in preparation for the Monarch (Messiah).   As crazy as it may seem we know that Bibi was under instruction from the Chabad Rebe and that he is beholden to extreme religious zealots, so CJBs hypotheses has some merit. The Rabbis are nutty enough to read that into the text and the fact is that Samson does typify the nation.

Where it breaks down is the fact that not only does Samson destroy his enemy, he is also killed in the final confrontation, which runs counter the desire of the Jews to rule the world. The death of Samson is reflected in the book by Seymour Hersh called the Samson option.It details the history of Israel’s nuclear weapons program and its effects on Israel-American relations. The “Samson Option” of the book’s title refers to the nuclear strategy whereby Israel would launch a massive nuclear retaliatory strike if the state itself was being overrun, just as the Biblical figure Samson is said to have pushed apart the pillars of a Philistine temple, bringing down the roof and killing himself and thousands of Philistines who had gathered to see him humiliated.

 

 

Much as I hate to admit it CJB is probably partially correct on this one because it plays into the self-image of them being both the strong man of the Middle East and the also the victim a difficult duality to maintain.  The fanatic rabbi’s are crazy enough to push this to the limit but destroying themselves in a nuclear conflagration seems a bit over the top even for them although I find the fact that Ukraine has been lined up as a bolt-hole interesting. Here is the video by CJB:

Jew Tube removed the video so here is the replacement (lolz):

 

One thing is true is that Samson is meant to portray the nation because God’s strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor 12:9) and for all his physical strength he constantly succumbed to temptation. These chapters are lifted out the book Judges and Ruth by Harry A. Whittaker:

 

 

I remember enjoying the original 1949 movie as a kid when I saw it in the 60s (2 min clip):

Here is a more modern version (good fight scene with the Jaw bone of an ass)…

And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men. (Judges 15:16 )
