America’s Watchdog in the Middle East

“Israel is to become the watchdog. There is no fear that Israel will undertake any aggressive Policy towards the Arab states when this would explicitly contradict the wishes of the US and Britain. But if for any reasons the Western powers should sometimes prefer to close their eyes, Israel could be relied upon to punish one or several neighbouring states whose discourtesy to the West went beyond the bounds of the permissible.” The Israeli paper Ha’aretz, 30 September 1951

Israel’s “struggle against terrorism” has been presented as a heroic struggle by a previously persecuted people against evil-eyed assassins and bloodthirsty Islamic fanatics hellbent on murderous destruction of the Israeli state.

Many people, otherwise unsympathetic to the aims of America in trying to reassert its power in the world, may be taken in by this argument. After all, Israel retains a great deal of support in the West because of the Holocaust, when six million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis during the Second World War.

However, the history of Israel suggests the opposite interpretation. The state of Israel was founded upon just those principles of terror: for at its foundation Israel expelled three-quarters of a million Palestinians through assassination and murderous destruction. The “terrorists” that Israel and the US want put to death are often the sons and daughters of those same dispossessed Palestinians.

Israel’s evolution has seen the increasing use of state terror on a monumental scale. This, combined with American backing for the militarisation of its economy, has turned Israel into a ruthless outpost for Western domination of the Middle East. The pious noises about “terrorism”, from Israel, America and indeed Britain, conceal this deeper motivation.

The person who wrote this garbage does not even have the courage to sign his or her name.

Forgot to mention the million jews expelled from Arab countries as revenge for the declaration of Israel in 1948.

Also forgot to mention that Israel was attacked which caused the refugee problem.

Forgot to mention that thousands of Jews were displaced from their homes in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) in 1948.

Also forgot to mention that there has never been a Palestinian State in the history of mankind.

Forgot to mention that 1.2 million Arabs who live within Israel have a right to vote ( 18 years old).

But Israel (Jew) haters are as usual economic with the truth.

Considering the whitewash and propaganda your'e flinging onto the newswire about the "pristine" behaviour of Israeli Troops, it's a joke for you to talk about being economical with the truth.

And that snide
}But Israel (Jew) haters are as usual economic
}with the truth.

Playing the anti semetic card is a low dirty and base trick. One can critique a State's behaviour without being a hatemonger, or Racist. Thats a low and dirty insinuation.

And frankly it's what I'd expect from you.

What's my name again?
