“More than endorsement from within the region, what Israel has always been confident about is the patronage and protection of the US and most of Europe. On Syria, and in the ultimate analysis, on Iran, the Israeli political and military elites know that the centres of power in the West share its diabolical agenda. Indeed, it is Israel that determines the US’s position on critical issues pertaining to WANA. It is the tail that wags the dog,” says Chandra Muzaffar Ph.D, a Malaysian historian, author and anti-wat activist.

However… politicians have never been known for being truthful; and I am thinking, when they are addressing any zionist organisation they would be telling them exactly what they want to hear, regardless of the situation.

Do you have any evidence for that? Yes, Prince Faisal had just come back from the US, but that's not especially important, he had other reasons for hating the King.

Sadly, Saudi Arabia had Prince Faisal beheaded on 18 June 1975, less than 3 months after the killing (25 March 1975) so its impossible to know what he'd tell us now.

This is abundantly documented by Grant Smith as well as Walt & Merscheimer, and by two surveys of Congress that identified AIPAC as the 2nd most powerful lobby in Washington and the only lobby in the top ten concerned with our foreign policy. If Israel really was a vital strategic asset, would it need to rely on AIPAC extortion?

It is not about ownership or possession of oil. It is about control of the oil. It doesn’t matter if that oil stays in the ground or not. It matters who gets it (the US, friends and allies only). The US buys from friendly countries and it goes to war against those that want to use their resource against it. So of course the first thing this strategy would dictate is to buy, buy buy; from those happy to sell.

Here is my position on ersatz israel. The US doesn’t give a shit about it. Not long term anyway. It is just using ersatz israel to cause chaos and division in the ME. If the value of israel were lost in this regard; it would be dropped like a hot stone. Yes some people in the administration would be pissed off because of that; but these people wouldn’t see another sunrise if they stuck their head up.

American taxpayers send, in effect, every Israeli Jew (;it is a self-proclaimed Jewish state so I will leave out the Arab minority) a check for about $600. This is every year. American teachers are being fired left and right and yet each Israeli Jewish citizen receives about $600! American citizens are not the recipients of this largese, but citizens of a foreign country!

Now $600 is a nice little piece of “stimulus” or disposable income and this stimulus does help the Israeli economy, as does all the other exogenous monies.

My point is why does the US do this as a matter of policy and why do Americans allow this in the first place?

Israel has the 4th largest army in the world but only 6 million or so citizens. Hmmm….how do they afford this? How can this little state imprison the equivalent of about 40% of its own population in the West Bank and Gaza. It doesn’t compute.

Israel is a show running at a deficit, bailed out every year by exogenous money, notably American money, public and private. Take away this exogenous money, and the show is over.

Why does the US do this? There is no rational answer so it must be trickery and propaganda. The 5.5 million Jews in Israel could easily fit in suburban New Jersey without a problem. Hell, NYC has more population than the State of Israel!! Why? Why?

Former Democratic Senator Ernest Frederick Hollings wrote in Charleston dialy Post and Courier, May 6, 2004: “With Iraq no threat, why invade a sovereign country? The answer: President Bush’s policy to secure Israel. Led by Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and Charles Krauthammer, for years there had been a domino school of thought that the way to guarantee Israel’s security is to spread democracy in the area.“

On September 10, 2002 – Philip Zelikow, the Zionist Jew Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, told a crowd at the University of Virginia: “Why would Iraq attack America or use nuclear weapons against us? I’ll tell you what I think the real threat and actually has been since 1990 – It’s the threat against Israel“.
