US Preparing for a Post-Israel Middle East?

by Franklin Lamb

August 28, 2012

BEIRUT — Congresswoman Illena Ros-Lehtinen will have her hands full as she makes the political and social rounds at this month’s Republican National Convention.  Illena is the only female committee chair in the House of Representatives and arguably Israel’s most ardent agent.  She is a constant thorn in the Obama administration’s side, regularly castigating the president for playing “political games with U.S. foreign policy” and being “soft on Iran” and undermining the legitimacy of Israel.  Ros-Lehtinen is a congressional cheer leader also for her Jewish voters in Florida—a key battleground in the rapidly approaching US presidential election. Most recently, Ros-Lehtinen helped shepherd through Congress yet another bill tightening sanctions against Iran while calling for US military action against the Assad regime in Syria.

The Congresswoman’s focus will likely not be on pushing the republican’s talking points regarding her party’s nominee, Mitt Romney, the former “moderate Massachusetts governor” who she is aware is unlikely to win the White House. Nor, according to a source at the Democratic National Committee, frantically putting together final touches on their own Convention, to be held the week of September 3 in Charlotte, North Carolina, will Ileana spend much time with or promoting Mitt’s running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan. Ryan, an Ayn Rand (author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged as well as founder of the Objectivism movement) follower, regularly tells audiences that “Ayn Rand’s teachings have been one of the most profound philosophical influences of my life”—well, except for religion and abortion, as Ayn who passed away in 1982 was an avowed atheist and strongly pro-abortion,  the opposite of  what Ryan tells audiences he is.

Rather, Ros-Lehtinen will be meeting with local, national, and international Jewish leaders in this must win state where she has been assigned the task of reassuring them that the Republican Party is Israel’s best friend and that a recent US government draft report urging a US re-think of its relationship to Israel is the responsibility of none other than Barack Obama, and it reveals his true disdain for Israel.

Helping her smear the White House with the findings in the draft  analysis will be William Kristol, publisher of the neoconservative Weekly Standard and Director of the New American Century, an “Israel first” Washington-based lobby “promoting joint Israeli and American political and military leadership across the globe, while bringing democracy to the Middle East”.

So what is all the fuss about?

It’s a paper entitled “Preparing For A Post Israel Middle East”, an 82-page analysis that concludes that the American national interest in fundamentally at odds with that of Zionist Israel. The authors conclude that Israel is currently the greatest threat to US national interests because its nature and actions prevent normal US relations  with  Arab and  Muslim countries and, to a growing degree, the wider international community.

The study was commissioned by the US Intelligence Community comprising 16 American intelligence agencies with an annual budget in excess of $ 70 billion. The IC includes the Departments of the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Defense Intelligence Agency, Departments of Energy, Homeland Security, State, Treasure, Drug Enforcement Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Security Agency, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency commissioned the study.

Among the many findings that Ros-Lehtenin and Kristol and other unregistered agents of Israel will likely try to exploit politically between now and November 6, by using them to attack the Obama Administration are the following:

  • Israel, given its current brutal occupation and belligerence cannot  be salvaged any more than apartheid south Africa could be when as late as 1987 Israel was the only “Western” nation that upheld diplomatic ties with South Africa and was the last country to join the international boycott campaign before the regime collapsed;
  • The Israel leadership, with its increasing support of the 700,000 settlers in illegal colonies in the occupied West Bank is increasing out of touch with the political, military and economic realities of the Middle East;
  • The post Labor government Likud coalition is deeply complicit with and influenced by the settlers’ political and financial power and will increasingly face domestic civil strife which the US government should not associate itself with or become involved with;
  • The Arab Spring and Islamic Awakening has to a major degree freed a large majority of the 1.2 billion Arab and Muslims to pursue what an overwhelming majority believe is the illegitimate, immoral and unsustainable European occupation of Palestine of the indigenous population;
  • Simultaneous with, but predating, rapidly expanding Arab and Muslim power in the region as evidenced by the Arab spring, Islamic Awakening and the ascendancy of Iran, as American power and influence recedes,  the US commitment to belligerent oppressive Israel is becoming impossible to defend or execute consistent given paramount US national interests which include normalizing relations with the 57 Islamic countries;
  • Gross Israeli interference in the internal affairs of the United States through spying and illegal US arms transfers. This includes supporting more than 60 ‘front organizations’ and  approximately 7,500 US officials who do Israel’s bidding and seek to dominate and intimidate the media and agencies of  the US government which should no longer be condoned;
  • That the United States government no longer has the financial resources, or public support to continue funding Israel. The billions of dollars in direct and indirect aid from US taxpayers to Israel since 1967 is not affordable and is increasingly being objected to by US taxpayers who oppose continuing American military involvement in the Middle East. US public opinion no longer supports funding and executing widely perceived illegal US wars on Israel’s behalf. This view is increasingly being shared by Europe, Asia and the International public;
  • Israel’s segregationist occupation infrastructure evidenced by  legalized discrimination and increasingly separate and unequal justice systems must no longer be directly or indirectly funded by the US taxpayers or  ignored by the US government;
  • Israel has failed as a claimed democratic state and continued American financial and political cover will not change its continuing devolution as international pariah state;
  • Increasingly,  rampant and violent racism exhibited among Jewish settlers in the West Bank is being condoned by the Israeli government to a degree  that the Israel government has become its protector and partner;
  • The expanding chasm  among American Jews objecting to Zionism and Israeli practices, including the killing and brutalizing of Palestinians under Israeli occupation,  are gross violations of American and International law and raise questions within the US Jewish community regarding the American responsibility to protect (R2P) innocent civilians under occupation;
  • The international opposition to the increasingly  apartheid regime can no longer be synchronized with American claimed  humanitarian values or US expectations in its bi-lateral relations with the 193 member United Nations;
  • The Draft ends with language about the need to avoid entangling alliances that alienate much of the World and condemn American citizens to endure the consequences.

Interestingly, it notes Iran as an example of a country and people that have much in common and whose citizens have a real interest in enjoy bilateral associations (here an apparent reference to Israel and its US lobby) not determined by the wishes of other countries and their agents. It also highlights the need for the US to undertake the repairing of relations with Arab and Muslim countries, including the drastically curtained use of drone aircraft.

The coming days will clarity the success of Israel’s in making an issue of the finding in the soon to be published draft report and the degree to which the Republican Party will gain for its findings in the race for the White House.

    Many even since the 1970′s like historian Alfred Lilienthal concluded with much documentaion the same thing. Israel is the problem. Their Talmudic/Pharisaic/Kababistic philossphy specifically. The financial plug needs pulled till they can act like a decent nation…most if not all its founders were Khazar decendants-NOT Hebrews anyway. This report is way over do,as well as the actions it calls for!

      A few topics covered in the comments…

      Re. Samson Option. Blackmail describes this policy best. No nation state on earth has such a policy, except Israel, not even ones that are being sanctioned and threated on a daily basis… like Iran for instance. Amazing.

      Re. Palestinian Identity. If there’s no such thing as a Palestinian, there’s equally no such thing as an Israeli, especially when his/her ancestors have lived in various countries around the world for generations and have been citizens of those nations for generations. Unless of course, we’re supposed to allocate special consideration for special people called Jews who deserve a special land that their historic and tribally ethnocentric texts from 2000 years ago tells them is “their” land.

      Re. Islamic Fundies vs Zionist Fundies. Both these sets of clowns are hell bent on returning to a feudal way of life, politically, economically and spiritually. BOTH need to feel the back of America’s hand across their faces, the sooner the better. This should be America’s NEW policy in the ME. A whole decade of pandering to one set of clowns has finished America’s reputation as an honest broker in the minds of millions of moderates in that part of the world. And all to America’s detriment (arab spring etc).

      To the Evangelical Christian right: please, by all means, leave America and go live in Israel. Go seek your salvation up close and personal. And we’ll see how fast you change your mind and come running back. Delusions are a priviledge for those who dont have to walk the walk.

      Cheers.

    Amused to see how hasbara clowns drive themselves at full steam. I suspect that behind the claims that Palestinians never exected are genocidal tendencies and murderous lust to exterminate the rest of the indegenous population in Israhell. presumably, to prove that they were correct in saing so. One such a clown, cannot remember which one, mentioned that Palestinians never had a state, therefore, I presume that they are not supposed to exist. Well said boy, but people who call themselves “Jews” have never had a state, nor actually American Indians or many other people like Tasmanians or Caribbs. Khazars had something similar to a state but present day zionists do not like to talk about it. Although their existence cannot be denied, most of these small nations have perished without a trace to perpetrators of numerous genocides, which somehow fits with the current zionist dreams and desires.

    I admire the patience of Jeremy Hammond but hope that he will soon cut the clowns to size as this parade of imbeciles and pathological liars is becoming somewhat tedious.

    Brother Geronimo: It’s not only Palestinians who the jews lust to exterminate, my friend. White European nations all over the planet have been targeted by these hate filled jewish supremacists for genocide and that is the reason why these historic White European nations are being flooded by millions of third world aliens. The goal is genocide – to be accomplished by using multi-culturalism and virulently anti-White, jewish invented Cultural Marxism to (a) reduce Whites to minorities inside every historic White European nation, (b) Thereby subjugating White European people to permanent and hostile rule within their own native homelands by a motley collection of non-Europeans from every third world failed nation on the planet, (c) thereby depriving White European people of their God-given, natural right to self-rule and self-determination by placing their futures in the hands of non-whites who largely hate and despise them.

    And, the worst aspect of all this jewish evil is how the treasonous White elites inside these historic White nations are going along with the jews and helping them to destroy their nations and genocide their own people.

    I predict that it is going to require physical resistance and a lot of blood being shed in order to put a permanent halt to this effort to genocide White European people. And, when that day
    arrives, let us all remember that the first priority that must be addressed is to resolve this problem of race treason by our White elites.

    From the Jewish Talmud:
    1) If a Jew is tempted to do evil he should go to a city where he is not known and do the evil there. –Moed Kattan 17a
    2) If a heathen (Gentile) hits a Jew, the Gentile must be killed. Hitting a Jew is the same as hitting God. –Sanhedrin 58b
    3) A Jew need not pay a Gentile (“Cuthean”) the wages owed him for work. –Sanhedrin 57a
    4) If a Jew finds an object lost by a Gentile (“heathen”) it does not have to be returned.
    -Baba Mezia 24a also in Baba Kamma 113b
    5) When a Jew murders a Gentile (“Cuthean”), there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a Gentile he may keep. –Sanhedrin 57a
    6) Gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God has “exposed their money to Israel”. –Baba Kamma 37b
    7) All Gentile children are animals. –Yebamoth 98a
    8) Gentile girls are in a state of niddah (filth) from birth. –Abodah Zarah 36b
    9) Only Jews are human (“Only ye are designated men”). –Baba Kattan 114a-114b
    10) Jews may use lies (“subterfuges”) to circumvent a Gentile. –Baba Kamma 113a and two rabbis:
    11) Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg, “We have to recognize that Jewish blood and the blood of a goy are not the same thing.” -NY Times, June 6, 1989
    12) Rabbi Yaacov Perrin, “One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail.” -NY Daily News, Feb 28, 1994

    I would like very much to see the US get a divorce from Israel. To be associated with such a rogue country, US gets a very bad reputation!

    As to Ayn Rand as a major influence on uber-right-wing Catholic Paul Ryan, Ms. Rand was born Alisa Rosenbaum to a Jewish family. Her father was a pharmacist, her mother the daughter of a tailor who made uniforms for the Bolsheviks. Ms. Rosenbaum was not religious, in fact, she was an atheist, and one with a restless spirit.

    She moved to America as a young woman to live with a family aptly named Portnoy. After a stay with them, she was restless again and moved to Hollywood to become the screenwriter named Ayn Rand. Despite her resentment for “moochers” and “parasites,” when she was still older and had throat cancer, she had no qualms about using her husband’s Social Security, Frank O’Conner, to collect benefits. She went under the name, Ann O’Connor.

    As to supporting causes, few people know that she was a major donor to Israel and felt it imperative that all Jews should keep the country alive with contributions. These facts come from Jennifer Burns’ excellent biography of Rand “Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right.”

    As to the title, Rand was embraced ideologically by none other than “free market” maven Alan Greenspan and Chicago University’s “free market” Professer Martin Friedman. She continues to be an “inspiration” to the right, ironically for her callousness towards entitlements, for Social Security, Medicare, and any assistance to the poor, the aged and disabled.

    Wow!

    I’ve only gotten to the fourth page of comments after starting with the earliest comment and already the Hasbarabots, (Israel’s braying and squawking hate-filled, lying minions), have taken over the narrative, high-fiving each other one after another, praising each other for their superior intelligence and their awesome command of the facts, when in fact, substantiated facts are few and far between in the twisted, convoluted, dishonest and unfocused narratives I have been forced to read in the interests of fairness.

    And speaking of Intelligence? Not a whiff of it. Intelligence is not a word I could use to describe the mechanics behind their convoluted and illogical arguments. Unimaginative, by-rote, Talmudic thinking comes to mind instead.

    The fact is these propagandist liars are amongst the stupidest people I have ever had the misfortune to read – there’s no substance or form to their arguments beyond what they provide for each other. Paste and Post. Paste and Post. Paste and Post! Apparently they’re incapable of individually formulating a convincing argument in defense of their indefensibly rotten-to-the-core criminal conspiracy they identify as “their god-given country” – in reality a monstrous cancer squatting and destroying a plot of land they have no legal right to.

    Pathetic really…especially after all these years of having their “superiority” and “choseness” shoved down my throat by the even more deluded propagandists forced on us by our now-discredited wholly-owned-by-Zionists MSM.

    Bush-league liars, everyone of them posting here, bordering on simpletons.

    These dangerously deluded, stupid, junk-yard-mean people, who describe themselves as “the Chosen” aren’t worth the food it takes to sustain them.

    I wish there was a button I could click on that would relegate their preposterous nonsense and hatred of everything not them to the ether. They’re only here to fill up space and discourage the curious from finding the truth behind their endless lies.

    They deserve nothing of our attention.
