From Haaretz
... The Anti-Defamation League said it was "deeply disappointed" by the private exchange between French President Nicholas Sarkozy and U.S. President Barack Obama in which the two leaders were overheard making critical remarks about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.I too was deeply disappointed that the exchange was 'off the record' and not part of a global condemnation of Israel's leadership and their policies.
But the question remains, how did Israel get its stranglehold on the entire world? One reader suggested in a comment yesterday that; I think that Israel blackmails nations - that if nations do not do its bidding, they threaten another 911, or something similar. Once I heard Dennis Kucinich say that paying billions a year to Israel is the necessary price we pay for keeping them from lighting the match. It is high time that the politicians come out in public - perhaps today's EAS test would have been a good time to do it - and spill the beans to the world. If we all knew what Israel holds over us, Israel would NOT be able to get away with what it does. Our leaders need to stop being cowards and stand up to the bully.
And cowards they are! Are they that afraid of the 'anti Semite Card' that would be flashed at any condemnation of Israel? Are they that afraid that their support would dwindle if groups like AIPAC pulled the plug? WHAT IS IT???
Israel has ignored every resolution the United Nations has ever passed regarding their policies. UN Reports are eventually changed or rewritten as was the case with Goldstone. Yet, the United States continues to back every illegal move that Israel makes. WHY???
Just what does the image above mean? Can we pander to the Israel Lobby? According to Wikipedia; Pandering is the act of expressing one's views in accordance with the likes of a group to which one is attempting to appeal. The term is most notably associated with politics. In pandering, the views one is verbally expressing are merely for the purpose of drawing support up to and including votes and do not necessarily reflect one's personal values.Pandering is essentially a reaction of panic in elected officials who must either tailor their views to public opinion or risk losing their existing or potential seat. Politicians running for office are known to pander because their winning depends on the voters. When an election is upcoming, many straw polls are taken, and the results may change by the day or even by the hour. A politician by pandering is attempting to tilt the results in his/her favor.
Is it not time for the United States and other nations to start pandering to their own citizens and not allow Israel to dictate its polices on them? The time is almost 64 years overdue .... LET'S DO IT!
Early in my writing/researching avocation I asked myself these same questions. When I discovered the facts of the USS Liberty attack by the Israelis. I was outraged by LBJ's response even more than the actual event. Eventually I discovered that he had personally witnessed what becomes of American presidents who attempt to defy Organized Jewry in general, and Israel in particular. Consider his first three major actions: retiring all Silver Certificates and negating Kennedy's Executive order to bust up the FED, giving the Israeli's the Nuke reversing Kennedy's obdurate stance that under no circumstances were the Israelis to acquire nukes, and cranking up the Vietnam War.
As Laura wrote in her Kennedy series:
The fact is, the assassination of John F. Kennedy was a form of control of the government of the United States. It is the ultimate form of control of the election process. Understanding this can lead us to understand what has happened to our country since that terrible day in November, 43 years ago. Studied carefully, the assassination of John F. Kennedy can reveal who really controls the United States and its polices, particularly foreign policy. As John Kennedy himself said:
"For we are opposed, around the world, by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence; in infiltration instead of invasion; on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice; on guerillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined, its dissenters are silenced, not praised; no expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the cold war, in short, with a wartime discipline no democracy would ever hope to wish to match. ..."
He was right; but I think he didn't realize how far they were willing - and able - to go.
Nowadays, we know how far they are able and willing to go: just look at the events of September 11, 2001, which bear the same unmistakable stamp of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In fact, as I have mentioned before, the same gang is involved.
Does this help?
