13 Jan 2012 By Keith Johnson So, Israel firster Mitt Romney won the Iowa caucus?
Go figure. Do you think this statement had anything to
do with it?: "I will travel to Israel on my first foreign
trip. I will reaffirm as a vital national interest
Israel's existence as a Jewish state. I want the world
to know that the bonds between Israel and the United
States are unshakable." Or how about this one: "I will enhance our deterrent against the
Iranian regime by ordering the regular presence of
aircraft carrier task forces, one in the Eastern
Mediterranean and one in the Persian Gulf region. I
will begin discussions with Israel to increase the
level of our military assistance and coordination. And
I will again reiterate that Iran obtaining a nuclear
weapon is unacceptable." I guess we should count our blessings. Though Ron
Paul came in third, it's still an impressive victory
when you consider that Iowa is an evangelical
stronghold, whose voter support for the state of
Israel takes precedence over any concern they might
have for their own country. Without a doubt, Paul performed better than any
other candidate. He definitely made the case that he
was the best suited to deliver this nation from the
unsound fiscal policies of the Treasury Department and
the privately owned Federal Reserve. But that was
obviously a secondary concern for the voters in Iowa.
Paul had to be defeated because he stuck true to his
principals, and made it clear that he would not send
more of our children to die in yet another Jewish war
of survival. How else would you explain why Rick Santorum came
in second? He wasn't going anywhere until he revealed
on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he would demand that
Iran's nuclear sites be dismantled, and then launch an
attack against them after they inevitably refused. Of course Michelle Bachman and Newt Gingrich are
even more devoted to Israel. So why did they finish
behind Paul? The voters apparently had what alcoholics
call a "moment of clarity," and realized that neither
of them stood a chance of defeating Obama. Bachman is
a blithering idiot who can barely spell America (let
alone serve its best interests), and the serial
adulterer/hypocrite Gingrich has way too much baggage. Speaking of Newt, didn't he just get through
weeping over his long dead mother? Poor guy…now he has
something new to cry about. And I would wager that
these tears are a lot more genuine. That's right,
Newt! You ain't foolin' anybody. We know the only
thing you have an emotional attachment to is your
political career and the Zionist masters who fund it. Remember last June, when Newt urged the Jewish
Republican Coalition in Beverly Hills to "never
underestimate the hold that Israel has on the American
heart." Nothing has changed, and the Iowa caucus proves it.
It's not just media manipulation and vote fraud that
guides that vote. Iowa is a microcosm of the 70
million Christian Zionists, evangelicals and other
dispensationalists who represent the most coveted
voting block in America. These psychotics believe that their unwavering
support for the state of Israel is the "golden ticket"
they need to gain access through the pearly gates.
They're counting on a catastrophic war in the Middle
East to hasten the return of Jesus Christ, who will
then descend from the clouds and gather them up in one
fel swoop. Once deposited safely in heaven, Christ can
then go about his business wiping out the rest of his
creation. For decades, false prophets like Jerry Falwell; Hal
Lindsey; Pat Robertson; Tim Lehay and John Hagee have
all promised that the return of Christ is just around
the corner. But since none of these prophecies ever
come to pass, Christian Zionists have grown tired of
waiting and believe it's time to take matters into
their own hands. They figure if they can stoke the
flames of Armageddon themselves, it just might send up
the right smoke signal to get the good Lord's ass in
gear. That's why the war rhetoric and saber rattling
against Iran by all of these GOP hopefuls is so
appealing to them. Who else would be attracted to a
presidential candidate who promises to take their
nation to war if elected? To the rest of us, the
thought of heading into yet another hot conflict is
nothing less than horrific. But the Christian Zionists
don't care because they're confident that they won't
be around to see it. By the time the feces hits the
oscillating wind generator, they'll be watching the
action from a ringside seat in heaven while toasting
marshmallows and singing "Kumbaya." And what is to become of all the Jewish people that
these evangelical nut jobs claim to love so dearly?
Let's not kid ourselves. These people are certainly no
friends of the Jews. Their doctrine is ultimately
hostile to Judaism, and requires that all Jews must
convert to Christianity or perish along with the rest
of us. So why do we often find collaboration between
Christian Zionists, and some segments of the Jewish
community, who might otherwise find this kind of
"convert or die" theology offensive? Another quote that is commonly attributed to
Netanyahu is, "My opinion of Christian Zionists?
They're scum. But don't tell them that. We need all
the useful idiots we can get right now." While I have a hard time believing that Netanyahu
would be so careless as to say something like that in
public, it can't be far from how some Jews feel,
particularly those who rely on the billions of
American dollars we send Israel each year, along with
the weapons and manpower required to continue these
wars that are being waged on their behalf. Yes…Christian Zionists are the useful idiots who
facilitate Israel's criminal activity, and they're
also the one's who are taking this nation into another
war. They'll get the mushroom clouds they want, but
they won't be watching them from heaven. Discounting
their dispensationalist fantasy of an end-times
scenario, what does war with Iran really mean? Forget
about $500 per barrel oil. That's the least of our
worries. War with Iran means war with Russia and
China. War with Iran means World War III. The Russian Ministry of Defense recently issued a
bulletin to PM Putin and President Medvedev stating
that China's President Hu has now agreed "in
principal" that the only way to stop US led
western aggression is through "direct and
immediate military action" and that Hu has
ordered his Naval Forces to "prepare for warfare." That dovetails with a statement from Major General
Zhao Zhangzhong of the Chinese National Defense
University, who said that China "would not
hesitate to protect Iran" even if it led to a
third World War, and that not hesitating to fight a
third World War would be entirely for domestic
political needs. China currently buys large quantities
of oil from Iran and is their third largest trading
partner. As for Russia? On December 18, 2011, Russian Centre
for Socio-Political Studies Director Vladimir Yevseyev
insisted that Russia would stop any military attack
against Iran, adding that that "a military attack
against Tehran will be a serious problem for Russia,
because Caucasus and Central Asia are strategic
regions for Russia." Don't you just love clichés? The hardcore
supporters of the criminal Israeli state certainly do.
How many times have you heard these one-liners recited
ad nouseum? "Israel is the only democracy is the Middle
East." "You can't trade land for peace." That's one way to put it. But I would argue that
not only does Israel have no right to exist…it doesn't
exist. At least not according to International law.
Why? Because although the UN General Assembly
recommended the creation of a Jewish state in
Palestine back in 1947, it was never ratified in the
Security Council. Israel, therefore, is an
illegitimate nation. Furthermore, "when we think of Israel's right
to exist, we often think of the 1967 borders as though
somehow it is written that when you discuss two
states, the 1967 borders are what we are to discuss,"
says human rights attorney Lamis Deek of Al-Awda New
York. "Nowhere is that written. It is an arbitrary
date picked on the date of another occupation. It
could have been ‘48 or ‘47 or 2001. There's nowhere
that it says that we have to stick to the green line
or the 1967 borders." Of course these are all legal arguments. Would I be
forced to change my tune if Israel did obtain formal
recognition by the UN? Certainly not. No outside
entity has the moral authority to govern the
indigenous population. Only the Palestinians have the
right to control land that their ancestors have
inhabited for thousands of years. Anyway, back to clichés. It seems like every year
or so, the Israeli Hasbara machine introduces a new
phrase that is then picked up and recited by
journalists and politicians. One of the more recent
ones is that "President Obama threw Israel under
the bus" when he recommended that Israel resume
peace talks based upon 1967 borders. That really got
the Israeli loyalists up in arms. Of course Obama later backpedaled and proved to be
the biggest obstacle to Palestinian statehood.
"Peace is hard work," Obama declared to the UN
General Assembly last September. "Peace will not
come through statements and resolutions at the United
Nations. If it were that easy, it would have been
accomplished by now." As if that weren't bad enough, he had to get down
on his knees and grovel before his Zionist masters.
"America's commitment to Israel's security is
unshakable," said Obama. "Our friendship with
Israel is deep and enduring." Isn't it high time we got our asses out of the
caboose, jumped a few freight cars, and took control
of this thing before it jumps the tracks? ALL ABOARD! Next stop: New Hampshire! |
