ISRAEL’S SUSTAINABLE PARASITISM ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

ISRAEL’S SUSTAINABLE PARASITISM ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Israel and the American Diaspora notoriously donate thousands of dollars to elect corruptible American presidential and congressional officials, who then repay Israel a thousand fold from precious tax revenues; with millions of dollars worth of technologically advanced military equipment and services, and with the priceless lives of thousands of young patriots. In the case of the un-Constitutional Iraq War, Podhoretz Neo-Con Bush sacrificed over a trillion dollars and the lives of 4,000 young patriots, to sole benefit of Israel.

ISLAMOFASCIST AND JUDEOFASCIST SYMBIOSIS

The Islamofascists, in perpetual quest of greater wealth and power, rant to incite the impoverished Islamic peoples to violence against the notorious injustices of the powerful Judeofascist land robbers. The Judeofascists, in perpetual quest for greater wealth and power, wail and lobby to incite the American People into providing military protection against this persecution by outraged Islamofascists. To add credibility to these rantings and wailings, intermittent battles are fought. The result is that these clever Islamofascists and Judeofascists do gain great wealth and power, at the expense of the Arab, Persian, and American peoples.

The continuous illegal sacrifice of the wealth and blood of the American People on behalf Israel is all that perpetuates this destructive symbiotic relationship between the Islamofascists and the Judeofascists. But when, in the normal course of the American Cultural War, the Neo-Cons/Neo-Libs are finally expelled by the Reagan Conservatives and Kennedy Liberals from their positions of power, the economic and military support for the Judeofascists will finally end; and that will end the support for the Islamofascists. The end of the era of Neo-Con/Neo-Lib military intervention in the affairs of the Arab and Persian peoples shall be the start of an era of constructive relations with the American People.

The Judeofascists, who live in a glass house surrounded by Islamofascists, could continue fight for survival politically and militarily, until nuclear armed Israel finally becomes the site of a second great Judeocide, Holocaust II; or, they could offer sincere apologies, and generous economic reparations for the stolen land, damaged infrastructure, and losses of innocent lives; to finally win for themselves by just and peaceful means, what they cannot win by unjust and violent means.

Shall the World be cheering, and the Diaspora wailing; or, shall the World and the Diaspora be cheering?

Isreal in the media

In general the media take a "politically correct" position on Isreal. Criticism of Arab killer assaults is minimized or non existant, but Jewish reaction against these asssults is considered to be shameful, outrageous. Palestinian terrorists routinely shoot killer missiles against Israeli poopulation from Palestinian residential neighborhoods, then when Isreali missiles pinpoint these launchers and happen to kill a civilian who lives 20 feet away. this is carefully photographed by Palestinain media, and released to the Western media, who pick it up as a war crime.

The billions of American taxpayer extortion dollars ....for years and years... shoveled into that area.... Politician's bending to the Jewish lobby... demanding rebate....sufficient for their re-election,,,,is on a roll that will continue....until Israel becomes just another Democracy....not an invention for gain....

<<The only reason why some Jews want to encourage Arabs to leave is because the Arabs in general want to strike Israel down.>>

Sorry, Rabbi, but that's a LIE. The "Jewish state" CANNOT happen without the expulsion or extinction of the larger Arab population. Yes, SOME Arabs want to get rid of all Jews from what they rightfully regard as their homes, but some Jews want to get rid of all Arabs from they dishonestly refer to as the "land of Israel". There were some adherents of Judaism in the ancient Middle East, but these Judeans were NOT Jews. The bible was originally written in Greek. It was TRANSLATED into Hebrew as into hundreds of other languages.

Jews are Europeans. Everyone, except Americans know that Jews converted to Judaism in the 8th century in THEIR homeland of Khazariah. You may well argue that Jews "deserve" a country as an ethnic group, but, CLEARLY, CLEARLY, this has nothing to do with Palestinians on land THEY have occuppied for centuries. Some people make these mistakes honestly, but, you, a rabbi, of all people, surely are versed in ETHNIC Jewish hisory AND the history of the religion of Judaism. This is like the difference between the hisory of Italy and the history of Roman Catholicism. Surely, you are not implying that the two are the same.

Israel's 60th

The "Jews" came here by dint of their martial power trained by man like Bobby Wingate - not "steeled" by the Holocaust. That the Arabs were "surprised" by the Israeli superiority in this matter is true: so were the Indian soldiers who mutineed in 1857. Yet, by 1947; the British were out of India - though they knew the British very well, since Clive conquered them around 1750.

The occupation last 200 years.

This analogy however to Israel is not perfect. Israelis prefer instead the more "benign" form - A people without land occupying a land without people - ignoring the truth that the land was not without people. Perhaps the best thing to do is to avoid analogies and look reality. If so Dr Ajami's article simply repeats "popular" prejudices: popular that is, in America's daily press and with Israel's propaganda machine. He certainly can do better. Moreover, should we castigate the other Arabs for their (apparent) failure to clear Israel out of Palestine? Perhaps, as the Indians ( Chinese, Malays, Africans ... ) did, they are building their own strength first. Is the present economic crisis a form of pushing back ? Are they using economic power in conjunction with other ex-3rd world nations to further their goals ? We await Dr Ajami's thoughts on the subject.

Arab Rejection

It has been for far too long that the Palestinian Arabs have complained about "occupation". They have had too many chances to settle their disputes with Israel and gain a "homeland" for themselves. I use quotes because anyone with any honesty knows that before WWI Palestine was sparsely populated and that arabs didn't start harping about a state until the Jews wanted a land of their own in what is historically their domain. Before then, they seemed perfectly content under the British Mandate or part of Syria. But coming back, I think the Arab Palestinians should either gain Israeli citizenship and live peacefully in coexistance or just go back to the Arab lands they came from in the first place. At this point, with their conduct of refusing to compromise, they don't deserve a seperate state. Much like a child doesn't deserve a cookie when he doesn't eat his vegetables.

Yuck...

Another biased article that spins half-truths and outright lies together to form the Zionist Truth....kind of like the Christian Bible....

To say that Polarik of FL has ANY sort of regional knowledge or historical accuracy is laughable...perhaps he would like to explain to explain how the land-grab war which Israel started can be construed as a war of extermination of the Jews. Also, perhaps he could explain why the Jews keep building settlements and walls INSIDE of Palestine. Could you do that for us? Maybe you could include some historical references and facts....

Just a thought...

Arab Brotherhood

History has shown, that the Arabs do not like, or trust each other........Jews from all over the world,from Argintina to Iran who ive in Isreal, have a love for each other,a band that comes from there soul.
