30 years of mayhem ~ Mazim Qumsiyeh
Forget the fairytale: the US doesn't love Israel [US politicians YES, but US military NO] ~ Jonathan Cook
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 years of mayhem This is the thirtieth anniversary of the Sabra and
Shatila massacre. We now have documentary evidence of Israeli and American
roles in this preventable massacre of hundreds of Palestinian and Lebanese
civilians. ** The intensity of private
USA-Israel disputes must have increased in the past 30 years even as the mayhem
also increased (for example one million Iraqis killed by US led sanctions, one
million more by the illegitimate invasion and occupation beginning in 2003).
Netanyahu and other Zionists seemed very frustrated that attempts to bully the
US into a war on Iran, like they did on Iraq, are failing. Disputes that used
to happen behind closed doors are now out in the open. Israel is not even able
to get the US to give them any assurances of protection if they attack Iran and
Iran retaliates with thousands of improved missiles. There is so much dissent
now even within Israeli elites who directly benefit from stirring up conflicts.
Thus any decision to create more wars and suffering seems highly unlikely before
the US Presidential elections in November. Thus fortunes are being spent by the
Jewish billionaire Sheldon Adelson and other Zionists "banking" on the
Republican Mitt Romney. A media frenzy led by Zionists will also not succeed
unless we get an "October surprise".
The Zionist attempt to stir a "clash of
civilization" between Christianity and Islam is failing. The angry protests
being fomented drew less than 0.01% of the world Muslim population and most of
these demonstrations were not similar to the attack in Libya that killed the US
Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. The Zionists in charge of a
significant portion of Western mainstream media tried to exaggerate and to stoke
the fires but they are failing. The largest demonstration in the Arab world is
likely to be the well-disciplined Hezbollah led mass march and rally in Beirut
Monday. Its leader Hassan Nasrallah already stated that he rejects the violence
inflicted on US diplomats in Libya. The Libyan government was forced to admit
that this was a pre-planned attack which likely had other motives (not the
offending amateur video). So many good people are working behind the scenes to
ensure Zionists fail in their attempts to plant seeds of divisiveness and wars
in so many fronts. I actually feel the tide is shifting dramatically. Perhaps
that explains the frustration and anger of Netanyahu et al. Unfortunately such
apartheid regimes do their most damage in their last few years. So the past few
weeks Israel intensified its attack on the native Palestinians and issued more
orders to transfer lands to racist Jewish settlers.

Welcome to Palestine latest campaign was an
inspiring effort that we had the privilege and honor to work on. While
participants were not allowed into the West Bank through Jordan, they visited
Palestinian refugee communities in Jordan and showed that Israel is a paranoid
apartheid state. For pictures and text (French and English), see http://www.europalestine.com/spip.php?article7592
