There needs to be an End to this

They keep promising peace through strength but keep delivering escalation through endless provocations.

Here is their latest prediction: “The next Middle East war,” which is the title of an article that also came under the subtitle: “Hezbollah, instructed by Iran, is setting the stage for a new and bloodier conflict with Israel.” It was written by Clifford D. May and published on July 4, 2017 in The Washington Times.

The Jews – wherever they live on the globe – justify their endless attempts to grab more Arab land from Israel's neighbors with the excuse that they need the land to use as buffer between Israel and the enemies surrounding it. They argue that being too close to the enemy tempts the latter to launch attacks on Israel. And they conclude that when America arms Israel with more and better weapons, the enemy fears it and stops threatening it. But that's not how the scenario has unfolded in the Middle East where there have been more wars in the region since the advent of the Jews than anywhere else on the planet.

What happened was that each time the Jews acquired a new weapon from America; they felt strong enough to launch attacks on their neighbors and grab pieces of their land. They held on to them for a while, but then lost them when the Arabs acquired weapons that countered the Jewish acquisitions, and used those to liberate what was taken from them. This is called the reality of arms race and the escalation of conflict, not what the Jews call peace through strength.

The net result of all this has been that aside from two unfinished businesses, the Arabs have succeeded in pushing the Jews back to where they came from. What remains to be done, as far as the Arabs are concerned, is the Palestinian owned West Bank which will take time to liberate, and the Western part of the Syrian Golan Heights, which is the region that Clifford May is discussing in his article.

The introduction by May of the Lebanese Hezbollah in the discussion came about because of the complicated history surrounding that piece of land. The Golan is Syrian territory situated near the borders of Lebanon and occupied Palestine, also known as Israel. First, the Jews grabbed the Golan but were pushed out of its eastern part; remaining only in the western part. They later attacked Lebanon and grabbed a chunk of its south, but were pushed back except for a tiny plot that's adjacent to the Western Golan. Israel continues to hold on to the Lebanese plot, claiming that it was Syrian territory. Hezbollah, which is the defender of Lebanon, says otherwise, and wants that plot of land back in Lebanese hands.

Thus, it happened that the interests of both Syria and Lebanon have converged, which is why they find themselves fighting on the same side. Furthermore, in a manner similar to the Jews bragging about there being no daylight between them and the Americans, the Syrian/Lebanese alliance made sure there was no daylight between it and Iran which may itself be allied with Russia. This is how far and how complicated things have become. If anything, they demonstrate how meaningless the motto “peace through strength” has been.

Still, to make his points, Clifford May begins by quoting a UN Security Council Resolution that calls for South Lebanon to be under the military control of only the Lebanese government or the UN force. And so, he complains that the UN failed to “Accomplish its mission.” Why? Because he says Hezbollah is patrolling South Lebanon protecting the country from Israeli military intrusions. He thus insinuates that Hezbollah is neither a part of the UN force nor that of the Lebanese government.

But guess what the Jewish pundit did next. You guessed it; he shot himself in the foot trying to have it both ways. Look at this amateurish performance: “Hezbollah's presence now extends well beyond Southern Lebanon. It is the most powerful faction in Lebanon's government.” Here it is in black and white. Clifford May first insinuates that Hezbollah is not a part of the Lebanese government then says it is the most powerful faction in Lebanon's government. That's a lawyer equipped with the reasoning of a juvenile.

Would you trust a lawyer of this caliber defending you? Most likely not. But this guy and all those like him live high on the money wrested from American taxpayers – not to defend Americans – but to defend Israel's right to also live high on the money wrested from the American taxpayers. How much worse can things get?

These are cannibals feasting on American blood and the flesh of their unarmed neighbors.
