nvasion of Iran Could Signal Problems for Israel.

It may seem odd, and counter intuitive to logic, to be making the assumption that an American invasion of Iran could provide costly for the Israeli government. On the surface it would appear that any threat to Israel would be military and would involve Iran launching a nuclear weapon. However, an insight into history has shown that, on more than one occasion, military action has had unforeseen consequences, and the anticipated attack is not the real threat. Political strategists have made grave errors when attempting to use troops to promote their personal ideologies. (e.g. Nazi Germany)

We are presently at a time in US history where the president is suffering from increasingly low approval ratings at the polls, but far worse, he is suffering from an increasingly low approval rating from his own party. This is a result of our President's desire to militarily force democracy on the world, however, we have seen from Venezuela to Chile to Nicaragua to other nations in this world, who have decided to vote for and elect candidates who are anti-American. It is clear that spreading democracy on the end of a Maverick missile is not exactly what the world had in mind when the Iron Curtain fell. We had an opportunity to lead the world by example and we have chosen to lead by force. Like grains of sand, the tighter you grip them, the more sand falls through your fingers. Just as Israel failed to learn that destroying oppression shouldn't make you the world's biggest oppressor, our government has failed to realize that attaining freedom shouldn't make you the world's biggest threat to freedom. When the Iron Curtain fell, it reformed as a new Wall of oppression, an American wall of hatred, shame, bias and bigotry.

As Americans begin to wake up about the actual purpose of the Invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, the threat to Iran, and the other problems of the Middle East, it is becoming clearer to most Americans that it is a direct result of America's intention to protect Israel, not to protect the security of American citizens. At a time when Americans are pointing fingers at each other as to who is responsible for the disaster in Iraq, the President is steaming ships, making plans, and stocking up weapons to invade Iran. With a very bad taste about war in American's mouths, they are not eager to be fed one more spoonful of BS about spreading democracy, countries with WMD's, American ideals, and reasons why, America needs to come to the aid of Israel, the 4th largest nuclear power in the world and invade Iran. People are realizing the nuclear threat of Iran is another one of the WMD stories we have been fed over and over again and quite frankly we are looking for a scapegoat for all this mess.

This is where the Israeli's come in.

While more and more dead Americans come back from Iraq, and the thought of transferring an already depleted military force to Iran to support an invasion, Americans will start to look for those scapegoats to blame for all the dead bodies. It is becoming clearer and clearer that Americans are identifying that scapegoat as one of the most powerful countries in the world that has bought and paid for, through lobbies, the lives of our children. That country is Israel.

Israel is already in violation of over 100 binding and non-binding UN resolutions and tops every country in the world as the number one nation in the world that defies international law with that number, including Iraq, Iran and North Korea put together. The American wall of hate and shame ignores and protects the country that has created the largest refugee population in the world, the biggest violator of human rights, and the most abusive and aggressive country since Nazi Germany and we are willing to attack anyone that even thinks about threatening them. While we decry Iran's attempt to develop nuclear power, we voluntarily gave the technology to create nuclear bombs to Israel. While we decry the proliferation of nuclear weapons, we are giving the technology to people who claim to be our friends.

Americans are growing weary and tired of war and occupation. And actually, Iraq is a blessing in disguise for Americans. With our invasions of Grenada, Panama, the first Gulf War, Afghanistan and initially in Iraq, we achieved a false confidence, a mistaken delusion that our military power, the largest in the world, could solve any problems with force. Just as after Vietnam we learned that diplomacy, morality, and leading by example, are far more important than military force, we are at the verge of a major revelation, as history repeats itself. The next President will have to deal with the shambles of foreign policy left behind by this President and as it becomes more apparent that Americans are dying to protect Israel, the backlash could be tremendous. The next president will have to distance themselves from this administrations supporters, mainly the Zionist lobbies of Israel.

Just as historically, a minority is saddled with the blame for failures of governmental decisions and policies, such is the future of Israel, their Zionist lobbies and Jews all over the world. For many of the previously listed reasons, Americans will start to point the finger at the Israeli's and a change in position could prove to be disastrous for the Israeli's. Americans have a way of swinging from side to side on issues and rarely find a middle ground, and as we have been friends with and supporters of Manuel Noriega, Osama Bin Ladin, the Taliban, Charles Taylor and Saddam Hussein to name a few, they are now far from the list of our closest allies. If I was in the Israeli government or I was a supporter of Israel, I would take a look at the history of these types of associations and start to make a change in Israeli policy that will keep them from becoming the next flip flop in American history.

Not only does Israel have to fear a switch in policy and lack of support from Americans, they also have to fear the loss of the over 7 billion dollars they receive annually from the US, as well as the other military "perks" they receive. Such a loss of dollars to support their military would set the stage for a financial collapse of their system, much like the financial collapse of the Soviet Union after not being able to afford their arms race. Occupation would then become a case of whether or not they could afford it. Their aggressive stance against their neighbors would become a decision of dollars, not ideology. Nothing will create peace faster than if both sides can't afford to buy weapons.

So financially, politically, morally, and with justice and freedom in mind, to avoid a backlash from a newly educated American public, Israeli policy makers should be considering that the way to avoid the historically based, inevitable future, a change in tactics concerning their neighbors should be promptly forthcoming. A fair and just solution to the Palestinian situation could be had in a short period of time, if Israel makes a decision that its survival is more important than the land they have occupied and settled in the West Bank. The time has come for a change in American policy towards Israel that will create new policies in their government, and open a new future for peace in the Middle East, where Jews, Christians and Muslims have historically lived side by side in peace for thousands of years. Israeli's may be at a crossroads where they can throw off their historical oppression and oppressiveness and become an important part of and share in the leadership of a new world. Or they can stay on their present path and choose to relive the hatred and animosity towards Jews that existed in Europe during the first part of the 20th century.

I don't dislike Zionists because they are Jews, I dislike them because they act like assholes. I am not anti-Semitic, I am simply anti-asshole.
