Israel is slowly destroying America

President Bush never talks about introducing justice in the world, because "justice" and the 100 per cent US backing for the illegal state of Israel are contradictory; that is why Mr. Bush talks only about "freedom and democracy." "Justice," is the call of the weak, such as the Muslims and the Palestinians. Ironically, when they were weak Americans too begged for "justice" during their revolutionary struggle against the persecution by the British. After President Dwight D. Eisenhower forced Israel (and Britain and France) to withdraw from the Suez Canal, Egypt, in 1956, American Jews were determined never to let that happen again. During the 1960 presidential campaign they attempted to bribe the eventual winner, John F. Kennedy, in exchange for a promise not to pressure Israel. They need not have bothered. The Democrats in general and the Kennedys in particular have always been among the staunchest supporters of Israel. Democratic Presidential candidate Senator John F. Kerry's grandfather was a Jew. (Kerry is a Catholic.)

Although Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon did not personally like the Jews, for strategic reasons they continued to favour Israel. Johnson and Nixon were impressed by Israel's victory in the Six Day War of 1967, in which Israel defeated the combined might of 14 Arab nations. With the Soviet-philic Arabs mired in dictatorships and monarchies, Nixon found the pro-west Israeli democracy more dependable and made Israel a strategic partner. Weakened and distracted by the Watergate scandal, as Nixon was fighting to save his presidency, President Nixon's Secretary of State and the de facto President, Dr. Henry Kissinger, who is Jewish, took advantage of America's absentmindedness to irreversibly cement Israel's diplomatic, economic and military ties with the US. Under Kissinger, Israel's and America's interests became one and the same. It was Kissinger who mandated that the US would never talk to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) until it recognised Israel. Thus the Palestinians were asked to give up their trump card for a seat at the table. Even after the Palestinians recognised Israel, the world can see that it has done them no good.

Over the last forty years, the supporters of Israel and the Zionists in America have gained a stranglehold over the American media and politics. Even though Israel murders scores of Palestinian civilians daily, there is absolutely no criticism of Israel in the Zionist-controlled US media! Any US president who was deemed fair to the Palestinians or remotely critical of Israel (such as Jimmy Carter and George Herbert Walker Bush) was quickly booted out of office. President Bill Clinton escaped the wrath of the Zionists because his presidency coincided with the Oslo peace process (1993-2000), when Israelis and Palestinians negotiated directly. The neoconservatives and Zionist Jews who dominate the current Bush administration -- Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, John Bolton, Richard Perle, Daniel Pipes and Richard Abrams, to name only a few -- were totally against Oslo and any compromise with the Palestinians. Wolfowitz and Perle worked with Benjamin Netanyahu to scuttle Oslo.

According to The New York Times, Sharon wants to withdraw from Gaza so that he can keep all of the West Bank. The neocon Zionist Jews are keeping America in check as Sharon completes the West Bank annexation. The neocon Zionist Jews have now enlisted the support of Muslim-hating evangelical Christians, a solid voting block for President Bush, who want Israel to occupy all of Palestine so that Christ can return. In their theology, Christ will only return when Palestine is 100 per cent Jewish; but after Christ returns all the Jews will be either converted to Christianity or killed! The neocon Zionist Jewish-evangelical Christian lobby is so powerful that President Bush now takes orders from Israel's Ariel Sharon. It is great for Israel, but is it good for America?

The world has forgotten about the Israeli spy caught two months ago, with links to Wolfowitz and Feith, operating out of the office of Douglas Feith, the under secretary of defence for policy. He was caught passing America's secrets to American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). It is Mr. Feith's office which had concocted the myth about Iraq acquiring nuclear materials ("yellow cakes") from Niger, to make the case for attacking Iraq. Since then the press has suppressed all news about the spy because the case is "sensitive" and "might embarrass Israel!" Spies always work for the enemy. Why is this cover-up to "protect" Israel? What about protecting America and its interest? The Jewish neocons have taken over the Bush administration. They have forced the administration to attack Iraq. Close to 1100 American soldiers have died so far; about 8000 have been permanently maimed. Not a single Israeli has been killed in Iraq. It is rumoured that if Mr. Bush wins a second term the neocons will force Mr. Bush to attack Syria and Iran next. Defeat of all Israel's enemies in the region will be great for Israel. What about America's interest, which will be permanently damaged in the Muslim world?

Last month, Yusuf Islam (the former British pop superstar Cat Stevens, with hits such as "Morning has Broken, "Moon Shadow," and "Peace Train") was detained and deported upon arriving at the US. Yusuf Islam has been to the US 19 times since 9/11, the last time two months ago. True to his words in "Peace Train," Yusuf Islam has been promoting peace worldwide. Immediately after 9/11, he condemned the hijackers in an editorial that said "terrorists have hijacked Islam." He vehemently condemned Beslan massacre. So why is Yusuf Islam suddenly on the US's "No Fly" list? Simple. The Israelis put him on their no-fly list sometime back. They apparently complained to the US that since Yusuf Islam is on Israel's list, he should be on the US's list too! He is now. The Israelis say that some of Yusuf Islam's charitable contributions ended up with the Palestinians (Israel labels any assistance to the Palestinians as contribution to Hamas!)

Any individual or nation that aids the Palestinian civilians is on Israel's enemy list. Saudi assistance to the Palestinians has made the Saudis Israel's prime enemy. Saddam Hussein used to send money to the family of Palestinian suicide bombers AFTER they had blown themselves up without their family's knowledge, and AFTER Israel had blown up their houses in response. That was another reason Israel wanted America to invade Iraq. Hamas has always said that their enemy is Israel, not America. Israel desperately wants to make America Hamas's enemy as well. That will be great for Israel. But, what about America's interest which will be catastrophically harmed by taking on Israel's enemies as its own? The Jewish neocons defend only Israel's interest. Shouldn't patriotic Americans stand up to them and defend America's interests?

Whenever Israel shoots at, or fires American-made missiles at Palestinian civilians, they very cleverly label their victims as Palestinian "militants" or "terrorists" (a terminology America too is borrowing to label insurgents in Iraq, unfortunately). Without verifying whether the victims are indeed "militants" or civilians, the Zionist-controlled US media faithfully parrots the Israeli line to demonise the civilian victims as animals, whose death the world should celebrate! When Israelis die, as they did because of a despicable terrorist act in Taba, Egypt last week, that makes the front page of The New York Times -- with a quarter-page bloody photograph! In his book, "Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror," active CIA officer Michael Scheuer says that the Muslims are finally fighting back and that the biggest threat to the US "is the defensive Jihad, an Islamic military reaction triggered by an attack by non-Muslims on the Islamic faith, on Muslims, on Muslim territory.

" Scheuer adds that America is "fighting a worldwide Islamic insurgency -- not criminality or terrorism," and that none of Osama bin Laden's reason for waging war on the US "have anything to do with our freedom, liberty and democracy, (as President Bush claims) but everything to do with US policies and actions in the Muslim world, notably unlimited support for Israel's repression of the Palestinians and the destruction of Iraq." Scheuer breaks the ultimate taboo in the Zionist-controlled US media by criticising America's "one-way alliance" with Israel, and that "Israelis have succeeded in lacing tight the ropes binding the American Gulliver to the Jewish state and its policies."

Because of the illegal way it was founded and the brutal manner in which it suppresses the Palestinians, Israel has few friends and many enemies in the world. When Israeli misdeeds are put to vote in the United Nations General Assembly, out of about 200 members only three or four vote in Israel's favour (usually, the US, Israel, Marshall Islands and Micronesia). Before President Bush started America on a Jewish neocon-driven disastrous course, the world, including the Muslim world admired and looked up to America. The catastrophic course charted by Mr. Bush has transformed many US friends into US enemies, especially in the Muslim world. Israel has long given up on the world. It has decided that the only way to prosper is by "lacing tight the ropes binding the American Gulliver to the Jewish state and its policies." It is a great strategy for Israel. But, what about America's interests? Should America not be deeply concerned about the new enemies President Bush has made in the last three years by his unilateralism, the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and carte blanche support for the criminal policies of Ariel Sharon? Is it in America's interest, and does America have enough resources and moral capital to make all of Israel's enemies, which is pretty much the whole world, its own? I don't think so.
