As an American, I find it appalling, frightening even, that much of our foreign policy is totally dependent upon the cooperation of one country. As a Jew, I find it even more appalling that my people are being singled out, due to their religion, as the sacrificial lamb on my own president's plate of global domination.
President George Bush has taken his presidency to new heights of depravity. Once 9-11 happened, he took it as a mandate that he was also the Supreme Emperor of Israel. Ariel Sharon would be allowed to maintain leadership on the local level, but when it came to Israel's national and foreign affairs, Bush determined how Israel would act. This begs the question:
Who elected Bush Prime Minister of Israel?
Due to the actions of President Bush, his lackey, Saudi-kissing State Department and the frightened, indecisive, allegedly corrupt government of Ariel Sharon, Americans and Israelis have been hoodwinked into believing that they have no choices. On the surface, it also appears that Bush's America calls all the shots on the international scene.
Unfortunately for us all, this scenario is a glass house built on an active fault zone. The Israelis are the losers, as well as the average American citizen. Here's how it has played out for the past umpteen years:
It actually started with Bush the First. In 1991 the Gulf War was raging and Israel was getting mercilessly SCUDded by Saddam. Falsely thinking that the US was indeed a friend of Israel, Israel agreed to let the SCUDs rain down upon her citizens without retaliation on the promise that the US would protect her.
While the US eventually stopped Saddam and his SCUDs, the US proved she was no friend of Israel by leaving Saddam in place. The US was right there in Baghdad and could have plucked Saddam off of one of his multitudes of solid gold toilet seats while he was relieving himself. But Bush the First chose to leave this anti-Semitic, mass-murdering tyrant in place.
This alone should have alerted Israel that the US, or at least the Bush dynasty and their State Department toadies, were no true friends. Saddam, of course, was funding the murderous and genocidally-bent Arabs occupying Jewish Palestine. And he continued to fund them for 12 more years, even offering a reward for a Jew-kill count.
Following the Gulf War came the Oslo 'peace' accord initiative. This misbegotten effort essentially said that murder, war and genocide in the name of religion and 'Arab unity' are perfectly acceptable and thus subject to negotiation. Israel's leaders went along with this faulty premise due, in part, to American coercion. Thus, they bought for Israel and its people more terrorist death in 10 years than in the entire preceding 45 years altogether.
At the time of Oslo, America was attempting to mend fences with the Arab and Muslim world. Being the savior of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia had actually brought down the wrath of these people upon America. Never mind that those nay-sayers were to be next on Saddam's plate if it hadn't been for Judeo-Christian America saving their collective Muslim nether regions. After they were safe, they accused the US of disrespect and interference. And, as usual, they used oil blackmail to force concessions out of the American government. And their oil blackmail included Europe as one of the victims. Verily cannily, the Arab and Muslim world also threatened to punish America's ally - Europe - if America did not bow to their every whim.
America's response was to throw them the Israel bone. This brought about Oslo. However, Israel did not have to cooperate. It never occurred to her leadership that to say "no" to America's unreasonable demands would not be the worst thing in the world. What would Israel lose? Some loan guarantees? Some foreign aid that was less than that being given in total to Israel's enemies? Being asked yet again to have SCUD missiles rain down upon civilian homes unanswered?
At the time of Oslo, if the Israeli leaders had the backbone, they could have forced America to dance to their tune in return for Israeli cooperation. Even back then, almost all of America's foreign policy was dependent upon Israeli cooperation. It laid out like this:
America and most of her allies are dependent on Arab and Muslim oil. It is vital to their economies. And ultimately, a country's strength derives from its economy. Meanwhile, the Arab and Muslim world has been calling for the destruction of Israel and the entire Jewish people since 1948.
If Israel had said 'no,' the oil-consuming Western world would have been in a panic. The Arab and Muslim world has always predicated its cooperation in supplying oil at an almost bearable price on the world's condemnation of Israel. The Arab and Muslim world has made it clear that to not condemn Israel and work towards its destruction means the oil flow stops.
All along, Israel has been living in a prolonged state of unfounded fear. If Israel had said no to complying with Western demands to commit suicide, the western world would not have attacked Israel. And if they cut off Israel's loan guarantees and the small amount of foreign aid she receives, Israel would have survived. In fact, Israel would have been weaned from her dependence upon her US pimp. However, the Western world would have done at least two things: try to come up with a more reasonable deal for Israel, and find alternative energy sources and solutions to the Arab and Muslim oil death grip we've been in.
So now, eleven years later, America has been at it again. In response to 9-11, it took Bush the Second less than two weeks to do the unthinkable: declare that a vast enclave of terrorist, murderous and genocidally-bent monsters deserved their own country, cut out of the heart of America's ally, Israel.
Bush did this for two reasons. He and his family have close financial ties to the founding fathers of Muslim terror -- the Saudis. And he also wanted Arab cooperation in going after the perpetrator of 9-11, that master of Muslim horror - Osama bin Laden.
Israel could still have said 'no' and forced Bush to look for alternative solutions that didn't make Israel and the Jews sacrificial lambs on the altar of oil and 'the war on terror.' But Israel didn't.
And now, Israel has one last opportunity. Bush's ill-planned and ill-fought war against Saddam is turning into a disaster for him. Bush's allies are rightfully angered at the way he continues to handle a war with no end in sight. Meanwhile, the Arab and Muslim world wants all non-Arabs or non-Muslims off their soil. And they have put the heat on the Western world by raising the price of oil to bloodsucking rates as a way of applying indirect pressure regarding their goal of the destruction of Israel.
What they have essentially told Bush is this: use your power and influence to destroy Israel through diplomatic channels and we will cooperate on Iraq and keep the oil flowing to you and your European allies (as well as the oil profits to your personal pocket).
So, Bush is again sacrificing Israel. And this time it will be the deathblow. Bush has decided that Israel must amputate the heart of the Hebrew people, known as Jewish land since Biblical times, and turn it over to her tormentors and murderers.
On the surface, this scenario looks like a lose-lose situation for Western oil consumers as well as for Israel. But it doesn't have to be.
As everyone knows, if you give in to a blackmailer, they will continue to blackmail you. Bush's capitulation to Arab and Muslim whims will keep the Western world in the stranglehold of a religion-cum-cult whose goal is the domination, conversion and subjugation of the world. But he seems not to care. In his most recent speech regarding energy, Bush emphasized sticking with a hydrocarbon economy, giving only a few last words towards developing alternative energy sources. But then, Bush's family fortune and power are directly tied to a hydrocarbon economy.
Bush is not concerned about the Western world or the average oil-consuming, sitting-duck-for-terrorism targets like you and me. He cares only about the power and wealth he and his cronies can amass. And as a Replacement Theology Methodist, he fantasizes about the day that Israel -- living proof that his Bible-altering pseudo-Christianity is apostate -- will cease to exist.
Meanwhile, Israel is the key to all of Bush's leadership policies. Bush has based his whole foreign policy, from dealing with the Europeans, to dealing with China, to dealing with the Arab and Muslim world on Israel. Like a house of cards, it is all based upon Israeli capitulation. He has also founded his entire economic policies on Israeli cooperation. This is because as long as the oil flows, America's businesses, manufacturing, shipping and transportation continue to work.
This was a really dumb move on Bush's part, but can play out well for Israel as well as the average consumer. All Israel has to do is say, "No!" No to humiliating concessions. No to giving up her rightful and aboriginal homeland. Bush's scheming and machinations will crumble like a pile of dehydrated camel dung in a stiff breeze.
And what's the worst that could happen to Israel?
The US has already cut off much of her cooperation with Israel, punishing her for trading with China. The US has given Egypt fighter planes and arms that can be used to attack Israel, in direct violation of both the Egypt-Israel Peace Agreement, as well as the US-Israel Memorandum of Agreement guaranteeing that the US would not let Egypt arm itself to the point where it could launch an attack against Israel.
So Israel has nothing to lose.
Instead all Israel has to say to the US is "No!" All of Bush's maneuverings and machinations immediately would fall apart. His 'friendly' Arab nations would withdraw their help from him, the European countries and others would back off assisting him with Iraq and Afghanistan, the oil producers would do something outrageous and Bush would be in deep trouble. At this point, Israel could extract from Bush just about anything she wanted in return for her cooperation.
So why doesn't Israel do this? My guess is fear.
Time to get over it.
Unfortunately, most of today's Israeli leaders don't have the foresight, guts or honesty and integrity to do such a thing. But there seems to be one who does. In studying Moshe Feiglin's positions on everything from foreign relations to domestic affairs, he looks like an uncompromised leader with real solutions for all Jews, not merely religious ones. Feiglin also adheres to Hillel's famous teaching when it comes to Israel: "If I am not for myself, then who will be, and if not now, when....?"
