America's Proxy War On Palestine

NOTE: BLOGGER has not yet fixed the problem of spacing between the paragraphs and so I am separating them with short lines. ____________________________________________________________________ On March 28, 2011 President Obama gave a speech in which he said this: “Military jets and helicopter gunships were unleashed upon people who had no means to defend themselves against assaults from the air.” If you did not know what the occasion was on which the President spoke these words but were familiar with recent history, you would have concluded that he was speaking about the Israeli practice of butchering the people of Palestine using American made laser guided precision smart bombs to kill families as they sat at the dinner table in their dining rooms and kill women with their babies as they slept in their modest beds in their bedrooms. Then, upon learning that the President spoke those words to explain why he called for the protection of the unarmed people he was so concerned about, you would have believed that America has finally decided to reverse the shameful practice of supplying Israel with the bombs, the military jests and the helicopter gunships that are routinely unleashed on the Palestinian people who have no means to defend themselves against any aggression, let alone defend themselves against assaults from the air. And then, upon learning that the President was speaking in his capacity as commander in chief of the American armed forces having already ordered his military to participate in the protection of the civilian population, you would have concluded that he must have ordered an attack on the Israeli military to finally put an end to America's participation in the savage behavior of the savage entity they call Israel. And you would have felt good that America has at last decided to come back and stand once again with the civilized world on a subject that has been a stain on the disordered posture it has taken in recent years. ______ Unfortunately, however, your joy would have evaporated upon learning that the President was not speaking about the people of Palestine but was speaking about Libya. And so you sit down feeling a little disappointed and you ask yourself why this American preoccupation with Libya when a savagery of biblical proportion that has already persisted in Palestine for three generations without respite is still unfolding with full force not far from where Libya is situated. And you realize that it is because Gadhafi was said to be killing his own people and not killing a people he occupied. You take this line of thinking further and come to the startling revelation that had Gadhafi been smart enough to call Eastern Libya a territory he is occupying in the same way that Israel is occupying Palestine, he would have been treated by the American politico-journalistic Establishment the same way that Israel is treated. That is, the US Congress would have showered him with borrowed money and deadly weapons; the media would have propped him up with free propaganda and with lies galore; the Administration would have protected him with the veto at the Security Council; and the televised ministries would have honored him like a reincarnated Jesus. Instead of being the hunted animal that he is today, Gadhafi would have been worshiped like a God by nearly all of America. You see, my friend, the trouble with Gadhafi is that he is an odd Arab monster and not a regular Israeli monster. ______ Whether you strongly agree with that view or you vehemently disagree with it; or if you stand in the middle between the two extremes, the mere fact that a situation exists which lends itself to be discussed in this manner is by itself a horrific development in the annals of human history. And so you ask yourself: What could have gone so badly wrong with the human race as to take us to a point as shockingly incomprehensible as this? And you find the answer to be no less shocking and just as simple. It is that you can deliver a powerful punch when you say that a leader is mistreating his own people. In fact, if you have no proof that a leader is so depraved as to do something as horrifying as a father that secretly rapes his own children, yet you wish to damn that leader as much, you accuse him of mistreating his own people. An accusation like this has the effect of forcing the imagination of the listener to associate the leader with a father figure that is the icon of depravity. And this mental association happens because people are horrified by a government that mistreats its own citizens who happen to belong to a different ethnic or religious group. This is why the Americans painted Saddam Hussein as a leader who mistreated the different groups in Iraq even though it was the Americans who supplied him with the weapons used in the commission of the bad deeds. And this is how the Americans are trying to paint Gadhafi even though he is embroiled in a civil war that has nothing to do with the differences between the various groups in Libya. ______ This kind of misrepresentation has become an American habit and the cause for which the American officials keep losing credibility when they stand to speak in world forums. In fact, we have here an example of how things are made to evolve artificially so as to create a false narrative that nevertheless continues to be seen for what it is because it cannot be made opaque enough. The truth is that no one has any doubt the Americans have issues with Gadhafi and that they do not mind seeing him go. Thus, when the opportunity presented itself to make this departure a reality, they seized it and attacked him. But then, they claimed that they only did what they did to protect the people of Libya who cannot protect themselves. As highly unlikely as this claim is, the world might still have believed it except that in their eagerness to embellish the narrative more than it can be, the Americans did something that spoiled the whole thing. What they did was to say that the narrative was part of a new doctrine they have been developing for some time. But when you look closely at the doctrine, you see that it was enunciated after the fact; after the attack on Libya. Probing the matter further out of curiosity, you discover that several American leaders of the past have come up with doctrines that were never used by them or by their successors. Some of the doctrines expressed nothing more than a wishful thinking and some of them were dreamed up to explain and justify something after the fact. As for the documents that contain the doctrines, they were shelved to give future students something to write about in the pursuit of a graduate degree, and perhaps use that to find a paying job. ______ What is puzzling in the current situation, however, is the question as to why the Americans have decided to call their action on Libya a doctrine at this time. Given that the creation of a doctrine means the setting of a legal precedent you hope will be repeated after its making, America has brought itself face to face with a contradiction the size of an Everest. It is that America has attacked Libya for dubious reasons at the same time as it is propping Israel which is the foremost icon of savagery sitting as it does like the only candidate in the world deserving of an attack on it; a surgical attack that would clip the wings of its military. And yet, because Israel's savagery is proportional to the help it receives from America, the latter need not attack Israel by military means. In fact, America can turn off the savagery by reducing the help it gives Israel or by chocking off that help completely if it should come to that. Whether or not the Americans will be moved enough to do something like this will depend on their willingness to look in the mirror and see themselves as the world sees them. The reality is that the world has put the new American doctrine side by side with that country's behavior in the Middle East and saw that policy making in American looks less rational than Gadhafi antics. But the world is not laughing because the result of the juxtaposition has been that more and more people in the world are seeing America like the self punishing masochist who keeps rewarding the Israelis with the gift they cherish the most, the knowledge that America is hurting itself to please them. And the world is increasingly coming to the conclusion that America's example is so pointless, it is no way to run a superpower and certainly no way to run an emerging nation. And the question to ask is whether or not America is hearing any of this? ______ Unfortunately, the signs are to the effect that America is not hearing any of this because a great deal of noise is being created precisely to muddle the voices of the world and prevent them from reaching the ears of America's leaders. The steady drumbeat which accompanies the chant: “We're the chosen ones telling you the exceptional ones to go it alone” is keeping America totally removed from reality. The consequence is that on a planet where everything is evolving and has been since its creation, it is impossible to think of a situation where something can remain in a steady state for ever. This is especially true where you see stress starting to build up. Thus, when the leaders of a country fail to take the steps that alter a situation where things are coming under stress, you know that one of two things will happen to relieve the stress. Either the energy that creates the stress will dissipate by itself as if dissolving in thin air or the stress will keep increasing, being fueled by a source of energy that refuses to abate or die. In this case, the result will be an explosion whose damage will be proportional to the energy released. As you can see, neither of the two outcomes can be good for a country because the energy that is causing the stress is also the nutrient that maintains the vitality of the culture. Let the energy quietly dissipate to maintain the peace and you will have created the condition for stagnation; let the source creating the energy run wild and you will risk an explosion. The best obvious choice, therefore, is to let things happen in a way that maintains a low level creative tension thus keep things moving but do so at a manageable pace. And this is the good advice that never reaches the ears of America's leaders because someone wants to monopolize the superpower and mobilize it to benefit Israel. ______ It is no secret that the Israelis and the Jewish lobby in America known as AIPAC are creating the noise that is leading America to a variant of the holocaust. Having set the precedent that it is a crime to discriminate against a people because they are of a different religious or ethnic background, the Jewish dream of a homeland for the Jews has turned into a nightmare. This is because it is becoming increasingly clear that a homeland for the Jews will only happen at the expense of a genocidal war against the Christians and the Muslims of Palestine. The crime is gathering momentum at this time, and America is slowly getting to own it because many astute “Jews” are washing their hands of it, leaving the matter to Uncle Sam who will end up paying the price when the time comes as it surely will. And when this happens, it will complete the irony about the author of a doctrine to save the lives of minorities getting stuck with the responsibility of Israel's genocidal war against the non-Jewish minorities of Palestine. ______ Those who once called themselves Jews but were neither Hebrews nor followers of the Jewish religion began the journey to snarl the American giant by calling themselves the chosen ones and calling the Americans the exceptional ones, a trick by which they managed to establish an artificial bond between them and the gullible Americans. Also, when they called the Americans exceptional, they flattered them and used this as the key to gain access to America's wealth and the blood of her children. They nearly sucked the place dry then began the process of pulling a betrayal in the style of Judas Iscariot. In fact, the mythical history they are mimicking at this stage of the game is one that goes back even before the story of Jesus and Judas; it is the story of perpetual treacheries their spiritual godfathers have pulled on countless victims for thousands of years everywhere on this planet. From the time they did it to the ancient Egyptians when they looted their homes and killed the first born of every family while fleeing the country in the middle of the night to the time they terrorized the British who gave them a homeland in Palestine, they have acted like the incarnation of treason. They did it again and again and again to people who took them in, sheltered them, fed them and considered them of their own. And not once did they show remorse or the inclination to do things differently in a quest to be like everyone and lead a normal life. In fact, they say it to themselves and to each other: If we do not live like this we cannot be Jews and might as well be someone else. ______ Thus, they never tire of displaying with pride their propensity to be in your home and pledge loyalty to a foreign country. Not only that, they go as far as recruit other people under your nose and assign to them the task of betraying their country so as to serve Israel and boost her glory. This is what Eric Cantor is doing in the US Congress and this is what he will continue to do as he lobbies other House Representatives to send letters to the President urging him to drop everything he does and work for Israel no matter what the cost will be to America. Not long ago America vetoed a Security Council resolution that would have forbidden Israel from looting anymore Palestinian lands. Now Eric Cantor and his prostitute sidekicks of the American congress of bimbos want America to veto the establishment of a Palestinian state. ______ Obama may prove to be smart enough and concerned enough about his country to avoid swallowing this bait a second time. He knows he will not lose the next election by doing the right thing, therefore he will do the right thing. This is because it is the logical thing to do for a man who governs by the power of his logic.
