“It would be an excellent first step toward establishing the kind of relations we might want to develop with Israel and the larger Jewish world.”
Dubai, September 22 – New strategic alignments and a growing appreciation of geopolitical realities around the Arabian Peninsula have sparked unprecedented discourse in several countries in the region on the subject of possible ties with Israel and a potential openness to a Jewish presence in those countries in the form of slave labor.
In Riyadh, Dubai, and other important cities near the Persian Gulf, the unchecked threat of Iranian ambitions and the realization that longtime nemesis Israel could serve as an ally against those ambitions and against the Islamic militarism plaguing the region have prompted political thinkers to reconsider the decades-old rejection of anything Israeli or Jewish. Key figures in the governments of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait have floated the idea in recent months of abandoning knee-jerk, across-the-board opposition to Israel, and in at least one case, an Israeli trade office was opened in one of the gulf states in an unofficial capacity. However, the trauma of a sudden reversal of seventy years’ bitter rejection of Israeli legitimacy keeps those governments from an overnight warming to Israel, and instead, officials are proposing a gradual process of reducing the animosity and isolation, through personal exposure of Arabs in those countries to Jews they have purchased as slaves.
“We’re going to have to take this slowly,” said a Saudi official speaking on condition of anonymity. “Two or three generations have been raised on a steady diet of Jew-hate in the service of anti-Israel policies, and people in this part of the world are not prepared to encounter any Jews, the very embodiment of everything Satanic in their minds. The key would be to introduce Jews into our countries in a non-threatening manner and let everyone get used to having them around, and then maybe take the next step and start viewing them as fully human. Or maybe not.”
“There are lots of slaves here already,” noted a member of the Dubai royal family. “We bring them in from all over – Africa, the Far East, wherever. Adding some Jews into the mix shouldn’t make too many waves, and I think that would be an excellent first step into establishing the kind of relations we might want to develop with Israel and the larger Jewish world.”
Already, a joint commission of several Gulf countries has formed to discuss the uses of Jewish slaves, using their assumed proficiency and contacts in international banking and finance. “We just need to find some Jews for sale who are professionals in those arenas and we’re set,” predicted the Saudi official.
