The traitors in the U.S. Congress are setting the pace again
I’d like her to tell me how actually Israel’s policies and actions are serving America’s national security interests. If she was to say to me that Israel is firmly with America in “the war against global terrorism”, I’d respond with the following.
The single most effective contribution America could make to the winning of that war would be using its leverage to cause Israel to end its occupation of the West Bank and its siege (occupation by remote control) of the Gaza Strip.
If she was then to ask me how I could possibly justify such a statement, I’d say this.
American support for Israel’s arrogance of power is one of the prime causes of Arab and other Muslim hurt, humiliation, anger and despair that gives violent Islamic fundamentalism in all of its various manifestations the freedom it needs to operate. Taking away this prime cause would encourage Arab and other Muslim communities everywhere to play their necessary part in containing and then defeating violent Islamic fundamentalism. The fact is that the vast majority of Arabs and other Muslims everywhere do not want to be enemies of America; but in growing numbers they do see America as their enemy because of its foreign policies.
Ros-Lehtinen’s record of doing the Zionist lobby’s bidding (no doubt to guarantee her hold on Florida’s 27th congressional district) is very impressive. It includes:
- Opposing U.S. support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees in the Neat East.
- Demanding the Obama administration halt its “condemnations” of Israel, “an indispensable ally and friend of the United States.”
- Introducing a bill to cut off U.S. funding to any UN organization that recognized Palestinian statehood.
But her latest presentation to the House of Representatives’ Foreign Affairs subcommittee took Zionist lobby “bs” – a Carterism for bullshit – to new heights. (Readers can listen to her with a Ctrl + Click on the link in my opening paragraph).
Her main purpose was to urge Congress to assume its “oversight responsibility” and press the Obama administration to do whatever is necessary to prevent a Fatah-Hamas reconciliation and Palestinian unity.
Her lead assertion was this:
“The destructive action by the Palestine Authority at the UN and negotiating with Hamas is undermining the peace process with Israel”.
Her willingness to read from Zionism’s script and do that lobby’s bidding prevents her from understanding that because of Israel’s policies and actions there is no peace process to be undermined.
Given that a peace process would need Palestinian unity if it was to have a real chance of leading to a solution that served and best protected the interests of all, including those of the U.S., Ros-Lehtinen’s assertion seemed to me to be much more than Zionist “bs”.
It amounts to treason.
In his first State of the Union Speech of his second term, President Obama said: “Tonight, thanks to the grit and determination of the American people, there is much progress to report.”
What he did not say and could not have said, even if he wanted to say it, is thanks to the ignorance of so many of his fellow Americans, he had been unable to challenge and loosen the Zionist lobby’s controlling grip on policy for Israel-Palestine in Congress, and that’s why his effort to get a real peace process going had made no progress.
