Zionism’s Last Card and Hope For Palestine
In the context above what I am suggesting is that if and when he is free to put real pressure on Israel to be serious about peace with the Palestinians, Obama should make best use of the Kennedy quote – “What we want from Israel arises because our relationship is a two-way street”. And he could and should put flesh on that bone by saying, among other things, that it is not in America’s own best interests to allow Israel to go on denying the Palestinians an acceptable measure of justice. But his crunch point could and should be something like this. “What America wants and needs, in order to best protect its own interests in the Arab and wider Muslim world, is an end to Israel’s denial of an acceptable amount of justice for the Palestinians. Unless we get that, I as president will have no choice but to use the leverage at my disposal to press you.” Israelis would know, even if Obama didn’t spell it out, that the pressure would include an end to American vetoes of Security Council resolutions condemning Israel and sanctions.
If Obama was to go public with such a position in the wake of defeat for the Zionist lobby over the Iran nuclear issue, I think it’s reasonable to assume that a big majority of Jewish Americans would signal, if only by their silence and/or refusal to condemn Obama, that their first loyalty was to America not Israel.
There is no certainty about how the Jews of Israel would respond, but there’s a good case for believing that because what most of them care most about is the relationship with America, a significant majority of them would say to Netanyahu and his coalition government something like: “Enough is enough. We insist that you make peace with the Palestinians on terms they can accept, even if that means a short, sharp civil war with those settlers who refuse to withdraw from the West Bank and be relocated and compensated.”
For those who might believe there is little or no prospect of a Jewish civil war in the event of President Obama insisting with leverage as necessary on Israel making peace with the Palestinians on terms they could accept, I recommend Chapter 12 of Volume Three of the American edition of my book. This chapter is titled The Blood Oath. It reveals that Sharon convened a secret meeting of many senior military officers to sign a blood oath committing them to make common cause with those settlers who would resist “to the death” the implementation of any government decision to withdraw from the West Bank. My named and quoted source for that dramatic story was none other than Ezer Weizman, Israel’s defense minister of the time.
When Ezer told me of the secret meeting minutes after he learned about it, he asked me a question. Did I think Sharon would act in accordance with the blood oath he and others had signed? I said: “What I think is of no consequence. I’m a visiting goy. You’re Israel’s defense minister, what do you think?” He replied: “Of course, he would. He’s mad enough to nuke the entire fucking Arab world!“
The coming months will tell us how mad Netanyahu is.
And also whether or not the optimism expressed in this post was justified.

Dear Mr. Hart!
If only the world could truly hope for such a lofty resolution to this age-old conflict. But, alas, Zionists are much more clever than you, me and Mr. Obama! Your well-stated reasoning for peace in the Middle East will never happen.
Not only are the elitist Zionist leadership more cold, clever and cunning, they also have no conscience. A blood oath is nothing to them. Does the “Samson Option” ring a bell?
Keep on dreaming!
The only true solution will come about when Jesus Christ returns to rule and reign over all humanity. Hopefully He returns before most of humanity has been exterminated by these mad men!
Blessings!

I wish I could be half optimist as Mr. Hart is about the US-Iran deal and any possiblity of Zionist leaders’ intention of resolving their occupation of Palestine.
Many people believe that like Israel-PLO past “peace negotiation” charade, US-Iran is also a charade to buy time and making some “genuine” excuse to attack Iran to bring-in pro-USrael regime change – as was done in Libya recently.
On May 18, 2010, I warned Iranian leaders that the world powers have no intention to accept Iranian position concerning its civilian nuclear program. These powers are putting a trap to disarm Iran’s nuclear capability in order to make its easier for them to invade Iran and bring a pro-western regime change as they did in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. I was not much off the mark then. Now after more than three years, Tony Cartalucci, has come to the same conclusion. He says the so-called P5+1 deal with Iran is prelude to war.
“The West has no intention of striking any lasting deal with Iran, as nuclear capabilities, even the acquirement of nuclear weapons by Iran was never truly an existential threat to Western nations or their regional partners. The West’s issue with Iran is its sovereignty and its ability to project its interests into spheres traditionally monopolized by the US and UK across the Middle East. Unless Iran plans on turning over its sovereignty and regional influence along with its right to develop and use nuclear technology, betrayal of any “nuclear deal” is all but inevitable, as is the war that is to shortly follow,” he said.
“Exposing the duplicity that accompanies Western “efforts” to strike a deal will severely undermine their attempt to then use the deal as leverage to justify military operations against Iran. For Iran and its allies, they must be prepared for war, more so when the West feigns interest in peace. Libya serves as a perfect example of the fate that awaits nations reproached by the West who let down their guard – it literally is a matter of life and death both for leaders, and for nations as a whole,” he said.

“As I write I am recalling what former President Carter said to my wife and I when we met with him and Rosalyn, words I quote in my book Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews and which bear repeating. “Any American president has only two windows of opportunity to take on the Zionist lobby – in the first nine months of his first term and the last year of his second term if he has one.”
Interesting. Since between the crucial years of 1960 and 1988, no President served a full second term, and Clinton in 2000 was the only Democrat to do it since 1940.
60 years is a hell of a lot of leeway….
The historical importance of Camp David in the Summer of 2000, and the subsequent provocations over al-Aqsa cannot be understated, with retrospect.
Ehud Barak fought that election with the full intention of losing it to Sharon – who had had given permission to for his visit to al-Aqsa.
Barak’s only campaign slogan was “The Palestinians do not want peace.”
Sharon’s only campaign slogan was “Sharon will bring peace.”
And, surprise, surprise, at 11am on the day of 9/11, Ehud Barak was in-studio on BBC World declaring “the world will not be the same after today”, “this is an attack on our whole civilisation, our whole way of life” and demanding a global war war on “Terror Thugs” and “Rogue States”, which he anticipated would last (very precisely) “six or ten years”, and also naming (but not yet blaming) “a Bin Laden type organisation”…. And yet not naming Hezzbollah, Hamas, the PLO, PFLP-GC, the IRA, ETA, Tyler Durden and Project Mayhem, the Aryan Nations or any of the more likely suspects that should have sprung to mind.
In fact, when a small, obscure Palestinian group DID try, early on in the day, to claim responsibility (claim retracted by 5pm EST)., their claim was almost completely ignored and not taken even remotely seriously.
It’s actually a valuable Shibboleth amongst the Day of 9/11 Comentators and Pundits to test who did, and who did not possess prior knowledge of what was going on, based on how dismissively or seriously they take the bogus Palestinian claim when interviewed – Madeline Albright, for instance, seems to know exactly what’s going on, whereas Sandy Berger is absolutely dumbfounded and quite clearly doesn’t have a clue.

“It’s now possible that he’ll have the opportunity to become a real peacemaker and go down in history as one of America’s greatest presidents.”
Obama has trashed the constitution and solidifies US fascism, international law and common human decency, sunk the economy, and killed tens of thousands of people in aggressive war. A ‘peacemaker’ who has destroyed Libya, and trashed much of Syria? He’s a war criminal! Are you even thinking about what you are writing? There is nothing Obama can do to redeem himself from such evil and crimes.

None of that is true.
Libya was a NATO War, speaheaded by the Anglo-French Axis, desperate to cover up thr ACTUAL crimes of Blair and Sarkozy, from the Lockerbie “trial” to the dodgy deal in the desert, to the DGSE’s attempts to depopulate Libya with AIDS, exposed in the Bulgarian nurse’s trial.
Just as in the case of Kosovo, NATO is an EU dominated military force, not bound by the UN Charter.
When the UN Charter was drawn up, supranstional bodies and alliances such as NATO, SEATO and rhe Warsaw Pact are not bound by international wars governing aggressive war, in part because the UN Security Council itself is such an alliance.
The NATO action was wrong, but legal.
The North Atlantic Council requires a simple majority vote-in-council to go to war. Of 30+ nations, the US gets one vote, and under the terms of the North Atlantic Treaty, such a vote requires member states to express unanimous consent after the vote.
Obama could not have opposed the attack on Libya if he tried – He was boxed in by Samantha Power and the Bilderberger Atlanticists – removal of Gaddafi did not benefit the US in any way, it benefits Europe.
As for Syria – like JFK, he successfully averted a war by feinting to the right, partnering with and Assad and Putin via back channels and allowing Assad to save face and get rid of chemical weapons (and a policy) he inherited that he neither wanted, nor needed, nor had any intention of ever using – it was essential to the resolution of the false-flag induced crisis that Assad be allowed to not back down in the face of Western (Zionist) pressure and be allowed to save face – otherwise his govenrment would have fallen within a day and been replaced with who-knows-what….

The Israelis are not the bastards the folks from Veterans Today incessantly write about. This the one area where I hotly disagree with V/T’s pool of writers who ENDLESSLY condemn the country as small as the state of Maryland. Which holds the “Occupied Territories” even smaller than adjacent Delaware (next to Maryland).
It’s not sanity to spend so much time dissing Israel guys! Or as my late friend Ed Abbey once said;
“When the philosopher’s argument becomes tedious, complicated, and opaque, it is usually a sign that he is attempting to prove as true to the intellect what is plainly false to common sense.”
There “ain’t no there, there” folks! Support Israel and we will see peace.

NATO is composed of nations that are subject to the UN Charter, the Geneva Conventions, and international law, but I’ll leave that alone here. The US is, of course, one of the driving forces of NATO, and well in with the rest of the international fascists and war mongering.
I will note that Obama and the US was very much involved in supporting the attack on Libya and “regime change”, and one indication of that is Secretary Clinton’s statement “We came, we saw, he died”, referring to Gadaffi’s torture, sodomization, and murder. Note the “we”.
There are many areas where Obama is in violation of human rights and law, and that includes a continual support of Israel’s violation of UN decisions regarding Palestine, law, justice, and human rights. DO not look to Obama for doing anything contradictory to the wishes of the international fascist empire, including support for Palestinians, although he may go against Israel if it goes up against the empire.
The bottom line is that Palestinians will not get justice from the empire and it’s leaders or toadies unless the peoples of the area and the world force the empire to do it, or bring down the empire and international fascists (the “1%” plutocracy and corporations waging class war), from the bottom up — with few exceptions perhaps, say, from the Global South. Or if Israel itself is brought down from such actions such as BDS or internal revolution. All progress throughout history has been the result of pressure and action by the people.

@Spike 1138 – You makes me laugh dude!
Qddafi and Liby was destroyed because of Israel and the Jewish Lobby.
French Jewish journalist and political activist, Bernard-Henri Levy, was the driving force behind the former French half-Jewish President Nicolas Sarkozy’s war on Libya to remove Qaddafi from power. In November 2011, speaking at the first national convention in Paris, organized by the French Israel Lobby, the Council of Jewish Organization of France, Levy boasted that he lead the anti-Qaddafi campaing because it was a Jewish thing to do.
“What I have done all these months, I did as a Jew. And like all the Jews of the world, I was worried. Despite legitimate anxiety is an uprising to be welcomed with favor, we were dealing with one of the worst enemy of Israel,” said Levy.

I won’t deny that the zionists (nationalists) and other Jewish tribalists have their effect, but Libya has oil, and water (great man-made river), and was messing with the petro-dollar, and was not playing the game according to the empire’s wishes. It’s also a strategic area for Africom and the Middle East — part of the grand game. That got the US, with all it’s power, against him. Follow the money and the power.
Israel is like the empire’s attack dog — but with ambition to control it’s master (and some success in that) in the symbiotic relationship, but the driving force in all the world’s machinations is money and power more than ideology. Palestine is mostly just a pawn in all this — but in some situations a pawn can determine the game. Israel is a rook — and a rook may be sacrificed to win the game — something Netanyahu and his gangster friends had better realize or they, and Israel, will be destroyed by the real power in the world. Iran (and even Syria), with the Asian pivot and the desire of the US/empire to use it as a tool against the far East, and to set it up for later dominance when they “fail in their obligations” is in a different position than before, and Netanyahu interferes with that at his peril.
The danger to the empire, including from Palestine, is that world opinion (the people, not the oligarchy) is in the process of mounting challenges to the empire as the true nature of the situation, and the class war, becomes better understood.
