This two-faced image of Israel feigns negotiations in order to placate their American benefactors, who arm them to kill Palestinians. No matter what agreements Sec. Rice squeezes out of the warring parties, the talks will be the spark that fuels the conflagration. When they fail, Bush will have been absolved of guilt for having tried every “reasonable” option to avoid war with Iran, just as he was for having tried the UN before bombing Iraq.

 

If the US and Israel were serious about pursuing peace in the Middle East then they would pursue policies that sought to bring extremists into the system as a means of civilizing their actions, instead of seeking to bomb them out of existence. They must learn that peace cannot be won by “pacifying” the world. All the bombs in the world will not destroy the will to resist, they will only strengthen it. The way must be made clear for the orderly transition of extremist Muslim militias into political parties, in the same way that the militant Zionist militias transitioned from their era of gangsterism to become Israel’s political parties.

Hamas and Hezbollah are legitimate political forces that provide a great deal of aid to their embattled populaces. We asked the Arabs to try democracy and these are their choices. It is time that we get over it, and find a new way to look at the Middle East. If hatred of America and Israel is the cause of the war on terror, then ending that war means breaking with the policies that caused that hatred, not multiplying the causes themselves.

 

In order to break free from the chains that bind us to permanent war in the Middle East, we have to separate religion from government, to put an end to America’s efforts to fulfill Biblical prophecy. It is this tendency of American neocon leaders to see themselves as messianic figures that causes them to think that they can usher in a religious utopia by re-creating events from ancient prophecies.

We have been speculating about the real reasons behind America’s rapid moral decay into fascism, when the answer has been laying right there in front of us all along. The insanity of the “Christian Right” is the insanity that has overwhelmed this nation.

We go to elaborate lengths to identify the brainwashers of the American majority in the government or to name the great conspiracy. Perhaps we misjudge the political power wielded by a radical religious movement in our lazy society, where barely fifty percent ever bother to vote. The reason for the enormous power of the New Right is that they have merely walked into the gap left by the American majority, which has abdicated its rights to lead its own government.

These guys promised their followers that they were going to intervene in America’s history, to inject Christian principles into American government, when they rose-up to elect Reagan. They have been pretty effective at rousing a partisan American majority to empower the Republicans to do what they have done so successfully to us today. The one thing that they consistently do, is promote the interests of Israel. According to CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour,

“A recent poll found that 59 percent of American evangelicals believe Israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy...The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs estimates 85 million evangelicals believes God tells them to support Israel — more than six times the world's Jewish population." http://whtt.org/index.php?news=2&id=1697

 

American Christians overwhelmingly believe that to support the state of Israel is to support God’s work. On this belief, the new neoconservative foreign policy of mass-murder has been grafted. Israeli political Zionists and politicized Christian Zionists both support killing as many Palestinians as is necessary to convert Palestine into Israel. This religious deception that masquerades as “Christianity” likes to lay claim to the birthright of Jesus Christ, even though its most prominent spokesmen like John Hagee go so far as to deny that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. http://youtube.com/watch?v=m8khCJTDD44 Congressmen, like Richard Armey, have openly stated that "my number one priority in foreign policy is to protect Israel," when it should obviously be to protect America first. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/objects/pages/PrintArticleEn.jhtml?itemNo=910199  People like these are so dedicated to carrying-out the political will of Israel in the United States, that they should register as agents of a foreign government.

 

With so much overwhelming political and economic power being brought to bear behind such an all-consuming nihilistic vision what can rational American patriots do to stop them? Which of the three identified groups of “armegeddonists” is susceptible to reason? The neocons cannot be persuaded to change their treasonous ways because they are in the plot too deep. We know that the Christian Zionists are impervious to reason, because they believe the Jesus promised to send magic clouds (or spaceships in the clouds) to save them. That leaves us with the Israeli government, to focus all our efforts upon. We have to persuade them that Israel will not benefit from any world war waged for them by America.

 

We must escalate our efforts to confront Israel, no matter how often we are slammed as “anti-Semites.” After all, the Zionists we confront have always followed Theodor Herzl’s admonition that “anti-Semitism...is a deeply imbedded force in the subconscious mind of the [Gentile] masses.” http://www.jewsagainstzionism.com/zionism/zanda.cfm
