AIPAC and Neocons Have no Place in Israel

You assume that neocons are controlling policies in the USA and in Israel. From what I see, you may be right about the USA. The recent elections provided only cosmetic changes the power brokers remaining in charge.

In Israel the politicians don't dare go against the will of the people. The few doing that suffer greatly. The Labor Prime Minister Ehud Barak met with Yassir Arafat and Bill Clinton at Camp David. Barak wanted to exchange the administration of East Jerusalem to the PLO for a peace agreement. Stupidly, Arafat turned down the deal, but that didn't save Barak or his party. They went down under public protest.

The right wing party the Likud came into power under the old warrior Ari Sharon. After a couple of years, Ari Sharon formed his own party [Kadima] and made the daring move to end the occupation of the territories. The Kadima gained power as Israelis voted for the chance for peace.

As everybody knows, the Hezbollah ended that chance for peace by attacking Israel. God punished Ari Sharon putting him in a coma midway between life and death acceptable to neither.

Israel's fate is in the hands of God and His Chosen People. The neocons and AIPAC do not have a role in Israel. They may have power in the USA, but not here.

 

Nuclear Weapons are Out-Dated and Useless

On 9/11 the vaunted US military could not stop 19 men with box cutters. A hypothetical: we wake up one morning to hear the major cities in the Red States have vaporized. If no one calls in to claim responsibility, how would we know who did it?

Nuclear weapons fail to protect the people. Who can stop a fanatic with an A-bomb in his suitcase? Even if an alert Customs Agent finds the bomb, how can she prevent him from detonating it with a dead man's switch?
