Fill in the blanks:

“We did note that while we recognize that ___ is part of ___, the United States supports the early resumption of dialogue.”

Finished guessing? Here’s the answer:
“We did note that while we recognize that Judea and Samaria are part of the State of Israel, the United States supports the early resumption of dialogue.”

Just kidding, here’s the real answer:
“We did note that while we recognize that Tibet is part of the People’s Republic of China, the United States supports the early resumption of dialogue.”

Backtrack, analyze – and then reach for your medical diagnosis encyclopaedia.

China covets Tibet because it has water, space and direct proximity to the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East.

China invades Tibet. China transports more than a million Tibetans to China, and replaces them with more than a million Han Chinese. In old-fashioned English this used to be known as “population transfer” and was a social, ethical and political no-no.

US President Barack Hussein Obama, who recently refused to meet with the Tibetans’ spiritual leader the Dalia Lama, today acknowledges that China has full entitlement to Tibet.

Round about the same time, the combined force of the Arab world invades Israel after decades of pogroms in which Jewish civilians are massacred in their homes. Israel fights back and in a succession of defensive wars to fend off the aggressors eventually creates the strategic depth it requires by holding on to some of the territory it has captured in the course of its defence.

US President Barack Hussein Obama, who recently refused to be seen in public with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, has consistently maintained that any territory Israel captured in the pursuit of its defence must be handed over to its aggressors.

Take a deep breath, then review the logic. Naked aggression, the rape of a nation and the transfer of its population are given official US approval and Washington recognizes that the aggressor is entitled to the victim’s property.

That’s in Asia.

Naked aggression, a racist ideology and a climate of fanatical religious supremacy are given official US approval and Washington recognizes that the aggressor is entitled to international backing in prosecuting the victim.

That’s in the Middle East.

Is “logical incoherence” a known medical condition?
