Indeed
before Palestinians seek their independent nation, America must first achieve
its political independence state from Israel.
In October
1973 in an interview with Face the Nation, an outstanding US liberal,
Chair of Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Democratic Senator Fullbright
declared: "Israelis control the policy in the congress and the senate."
In June
1990 on another TV program the McLaughlin Group, a conservative American
columnist announced "Capitol Hill is Israeli occupied territory."
Unfortunately, the two pronouncements have been proven accurate over again with
the passing of time.
Last year,
president Obama told U.N General Assembly: "When we come back here next
year, we can have an agreement that can lead to a new member of the United
Nations, an independent, sovereign state of Palestine …"
This year,
the President cowered back as he must have failed to clear his last year’s
opening session’s speech with Israel’s moles at the White House and
Congress. Whereas Obama’s 2010 presage of Palestine full UN membership
was transformed in 2011 to: “there is no short cut to the end” of this
conflict.
Was the
last twenty years of arduous talks between Israel and the Palestinians a “short
cut”? Or was Obama practicing his superior oratory aptitude to rationalize his
ineffectiveness with an obdurate Israeli government who rejected outright all of
his peace initiatives and that of the Diplomatic Quartet?
Today,
president Obama proved, yet again, his impotency in the face of Israeli
loyalists in Washington. Taking a “short cut,” himself, by evading to deal with
Israeli temporizing, he demanded instead, Palestinians to endure more under
occupation, while Israel continued creating new “Jewish only” facts on the
ground preempting the outcome of the feign peace negotiation.
The
recent warning by American Jewish leaders, threatening the Democratic Party in
swing states such as Pennsylvania and Florida, which was manifested recently by
supporting a Republican candidate in New York’s 9th congressional district’s
election against a fellow Democratic nominee, must have been heard loud and
clear by Obama.
America’s
exploitation at the hand of Israel’s sponsors in Washington is no exception to
the history of Zionist’s exploitation of world powers starting with Germany up
until WWI, slanting towards the Soviets, before docking at the British isle to
deliver them Palestine, and then settling in America, the new eminent world
power after WWII.
Obama
spoke at the UN of the “special relation” with Israel, a friendship as profound
as Congress’ deep bucket, and as enduring as saprophytic
organism growing on organic matters. Once done, the Zionists will cough
up the US like hyenas discarding the bones of consumed prey.
While
celebrating a “remarkable year” by the disappearance of Kaddafi, Ben Ali, M
Mubarak and Bin Laden, all of whom with no exceptions, were admired friends of
a US administration at one time or another, Obama must be eying the 2112
reelection. Hence, “justice” and “universal rights” in Palestine is expended
for another four cozy years in the White House.
In
his speech on the Arab Spring, president Obama was sanguine on the march for
freedom, while he continues to see the tree, but misses the Arab forest. A
forest stained by an occupation denying Palestinians of the very “dignity and
freedom” he spoke of at the UN. The Israeli occupation, for the people of the
forest, represents dictatorship multiplied by combining totalitarianism and
collective subjugation.
The
forest was exemplified by the new democracies sweeping the Arab world replacing
archaic governing potentates interested in their longevity rather than the well
being of their nations. The new view from the forest has been epitomized by
unrelenting protests against the Israeli embassy in Cairo by the new free
people of Egypt.
Unlike
the past peremptorily era, America must prepare for a new Arab government model
mirroring the wishes of their subjects rather than the illusionary egotistic
dictators.
Hence,
America’s future position in the Arab world will likely be gauged by the level
of America’s political independence from Israel. Congress’ addiction on pro
Israel Jewish votes and money will only weaken America’s economic interests and
benefit new burgeoning world economies. After which, the Zionists will move on
to a new world exploit.
The
independent state of Palestine will run parallel to America’s political
independence from Israel. As such, Zionists’ captive America is inept to
playing an impartial role in future constructive peace process in the Middle
East.
