When an event proves to be of epic dimensions and impossible to
remember in all of its details all at once, the natural human tendency is to
retain its Alpha and its Omega, which means retain the beginning and the ending
of the event while letting the in-between occurrences fade away with time.
This truism is becoming clearer by the day to those who followed
the Jewish inspired American war against Islam. Even if the war did not start officially
until the year 2003 with the invasion of Iraq, its preamble goes back to
shortly after the 1967 Pearl Harbor style Israeli attack on its neighbors. It
was this attack that convinced the Americans they can erase the shame of their
defeat in Vietnam by joining the Judeo-Israeli campaign to “kick Arab asses”
and score a few winning points.
What's happening now, half a century later, is that America is
beginning to feel the necessity to dissociate itself from the Judeo-Israeli
Middle Eastern campaign, and try to forget what happened during the decades
that proved utterly fruitless if not detrimental to the country's security.
America knows it needs to do this now to curtail its overstretched posture and
prepare to face new and serious challenges emanating from several sources
around the globe. Thus, it can be said that the American decision to disengage
from its involvement in Afghanistan marks the Omega of its ill-advised
decades-long adventure.
But that's not the case with the Jews whose religion is synonymous
with the term “perpetual war” as can be determined from reading their Old
Testament where page after page, from cover to cover, there is nothing to read
about but wars, blood, mayhem, treachery and misery. So, while the Americans
are retrenching and redeploying their military and financial assets, the Jewish
leaders are developing a two-pronged strategy to exude fake optimism from one
side of the mouth, while using the other side of the mouth to rationalize the
wish of the now deterred Israeli military to pursue a policy of keeping a
low-profile.
That is, Israel has signaled that it will continue to live by the
sword as dictated by religion, but will not do anything that might trigger an
all-out war with a neighbor, fearing that such move will end the Zionist regime
and replace it with a South African style Democracy. In fact, two recently
published articles––one on America and one on Israel––offer a wealth of
insights on all these matters.
The article on America, marking the Omega of the expansive
doctrine, came under the title: “Why America Doesn't Want to Admit That it
Failed in Afghanistan,” and the subtitle: “While nobody in a position of power
likes to admit it, the United States has done all it can for Afghanistan.” It
was written by the American pundit, Daniel R. DePetris and published on
September 3, 2019 in the national Interest. Here is what DePetris had to say
about America's involvement in a foreign war:
“The United States and the Taliban have reached an agreement in
principle. President Donald Trump would be on his way toward extricating the
United States from the longest conflict in its history. He would have public
opinion on his side. Americans are tired of the war and find the whole thing
absurd. Adults and veterans no longer see the war as being worth the effort.
This is the end result of an experiment that has cost a trillion dollars and
defined by troop deployments that go on and on and on. Stretching out
Washington's participation in a never-ending civil war is foolish. One could
even call it a dereliction of duty”.
As to the article on Israel, marking the start of a new Alpha
cycle, it came under the title: “The Campaign between wars,” and the subtitle:
“How Israel Rethought Its Strategy to Counter Iran's Malign Regional Influence.”
It was written by two Israeli pundits, Gadi Eisenkot and Gabi Siboni, and
published on September 4, 2019 on the website of the Washington Institute. Here
is what the two authors had to say about Israel's new propaganda campaign:
“The Israeli military activities were characterized by two
interlinked phases. The first was preparation for wars. The second phase
concerned the use of force during war. The nature of the threats to Israel's
security were changing profoundly. The rise of new challenges and the
destruction wrought by the 2006 war spurred the IDF to develop a concept of
integrated, low-intensity, preemptive warfare: The Campaign Between Wars (CBW).
The CBW constitutes a fundamental change in the pattern of Israeli security
operations. Deviating from the binary approach of either preparing for war or
openly waging it, the CBW strives for proactive, offensive actions based on
clandestine efforts. The CBW's development led to the authoring of a new
military doctrine––defend Israel's security interests without escalating to
war”.
