An alternative view of U.S foreign policy

US-Israeli partnership

The obvious partnership of the superpower and a tiny Middle East nation is mind boggling.

Both Republicans and Democrats in the US support Israel in their Gaza invasion because the rich and powerful American Jewish community, which controls media, Hollywood, hedge funds, investment banks, among other things, gives funds to their campaigns and their cause. It is a "power quid pro quo."

Their political power is dependent on this small rich community. That is why they are but glorified puppets of the power behind their power. They, in their myopia and failure to see the global perspective " they who turn inward to see only the face in the mirror on the wall " are under the mercy of this elite group which holds the destiny of the planet in its hands. This Jewish elite virtually controls not only America but also the world.

That the Obama regime is utterly pro-Israel is obvious. That was why he was silent for a long time. He knew a pro-Israel statement would draw flak. But Obama was shrewd. He knew he could not stay silent forever, so he let the legislators say it for him, so he would not get the flak directly. A late short statement was drowned by legislators proclaiming their support for Israel. Pro-Israel senators and congressmen from both Democrat and Republican camps issued shocking statements that would scandalize non-Americans, who have been condemning Israel for its bloodbath invasion. Even a few Americans who can see through the media mist is privy to the Obama ploy and to this sinister partnership.

Some of the statements of the legislators included blaming Hamas for the carnage by the Israelis, telling Hamas to stop first their rocket attacks if they want Israel to stop the carnage, placing emphasis on the rocket attack casualties of four and not on the 800-odd Palestinian casualties (as of this writing), a quarter of whom are women and children, being silent on growing international noncombatant casualties from Israeli bombings, namely journalists, UN personel, and paramedics, and finally, vetoing the UN Security Council resolution demanding Israel to stop its invasion.

Already, there are threats of charges of war crimes to be put forward in The Hague. But the Israelis are arrogant, defying UN resolutions, saying the world has no right to decide on security measures in their own lands (the Gaza strip is not theirs), continuing with the bloodbath in spite of a worldwide call for them to stop their invasion. They are undaunted becaue they know America is behind them.

Tthe goal of the overkill invasion is to force the Palestinians to condemn Hamas and stop its rocket attacks. This logic is pitiable because the result is the exact opposite. The carnage is prompting people to rally behind Hamas. The Isaraelis are strengthening their enemy and catalyzing future retaliations. How can you support an enemy who is killing people all around you?

The US-Israeli partnership actually antedates both Obama and the Palestinian conflict. The Jewish tycoons became rapidly and intensely wealthy by funding both sides of World War I. They came to America and started taking over the economy. Today, they control media, filmdom, banking, large corporations and have people in Washington, the State Department, the National Security Agency, etc. The geopolitical partnership of the US with Israel is monolithic and invincible because it is the ultimate quid pro quo of power for power. Nobody can disrupt this powerful partnership. Getting a non-pro-Israel American president on the throne is virtually impossible. The American Jewish community will simply pour massive election funds on his rival. They have the capability to choose the president. Even if a non-pro-Israel president wins, he will be roasted at the stake by the Legislative and Judicial branches of government.

It is a repeat of history. The Christian Crusaders and Muslim Saracens were the giants who hemmed in the tiny Jews. They massacred Jews throughout history. But the Jews had a secret formula " participation in the ruling class of their enemies. The Jews participated in almost all powerful monarchies of the Middle Ages, Christian or Muslim. They participated in the Arab rennaissance and the Western industrial revolution. It was like Moses being in the inner circle of the Pharaohs. The key to this success was participating without being absorbed. Throughout history, the Jews were conquered but their culture and religion remained intact. It is something they learned from the days of the Pharaohs. Whereas other conquered races are absorbed by the conquerors, whereas Filipinos became Christians, the Jews always maintained their culture and religion within other powerful cultures.

That the US-Israeli partnership will finally cause World War III is not impossible. By arming Israel to the teeth and using it as a wedge to pry oil from the Arabs, the superpower has triggered a runaway arms race that can lead to Armageddon.
