IN a very short space of six months, it appears that US-Israeli foreign policy is not only in shambles but leading us into a Third World War.
According to Professor John Mearshiemer, two madmen, US President Donald Trump and Israeli prime minister Benajmin Netanyahu, are joined at the hip.
We start with Netanyahu, beginning with his presentation entitled Clean Break (1996). In that paper, he proposed that the Muslim countries that are opposed to a Greater Israel must be destroyed.
This proposition was confirmed by General Wesley Clark (2001) before the Iraq war. Clark was told at the Pentagon that the US was going to war with seven countries in the Middle East that were opposed to the removal of Palestinians from their land.
Please do not look at the Democrats. Bill Clinton (1996) was black mailed over the Monica Lewinsky affair by Netanyahu to get on board with the plan. George W. Bush (2001-2008) and Barak Obama (2008-2016) went along with this plan.
The United Nations General Assembly which begins on September 22 will be occupied with this proposition.
When Trump came to power, Netanyahu decided that he had at least four years to drive away 2.3 million Arabs from Gaza and seven million Arabs from the West Bank.
Trump was in his pocket.
Mearsheimer argues that US-Israeli actors appear to be getting away with the mass murder of Arabs in Gaza; 60 000 have been murdered in two years.
The difference between the Jewish holocaust in Germany and the genocide in Palestine is that we are bombarded on a daily basis by cell phones pictures of the horrific mass murders.
It is as if we are witnessing a horror film.
The presence of social media (the cell phone) has made other nefarious activities open to the public as well.
The UK, under Sir Keir Starmer, has been saying all the good words about the horrors in Gaza while using its secret air- base in Cyprus to reconnoiter and help Israel carry out is mass murder.
The US has been involved in the planning, financing and supply of bombs to carry out the murders.
The treachery goes deeper. Former British prime minister, Tony Blair, through his Middle Eastern Institute, has played the role of a friendly advisor to Arab governments,
Recently, hoping to make a secret trip to Trump, it has been revealed that the whole idea of “cleaning out Gaza and making it a Riviera” came from his think tank.
With an overwhelming smile, Blair befriended Muammar Khaddafi and was paid for his advisory role” before he sold-out the brother, leading to his murder.
Despite the overwhelming power US-Israeli interests have over the US and western governments and over the news media, they have failed to prevent the horrific pictures of children being shot in the head by Israeli snipers and of mothers carrying starving warped bodies of what were their babies.
Trump has confessed that: “Israel is losing the propaganda war.”
The issues on September 22 are whether the United Nations will carry out its mandate under the Geneva protocols 5 and 7. The first protocol was designed to prevent genocidal governments carrying out their mass murders and the second was the enforcement mechanism.
The US-Israeli influencers have refused visas to Palestinian representatives from landing in New York so they can give evidence.
This is counter to the purpose of the United Nations, which was supposed to allow all protagonists an arena for open debate.
The US dollar is used as a weapon of war.
Trump is possibly the greatest con-man politician in the whole world. He was elected on the platform that he would put an end to “forever wars.”
Instead, he has fueled and may start new ones.
We have mentioned before the seizure of USD350 billion of Russian assets in Europe and the freezing of Russian related assets elsewhere.
That money will be used to buy US weapons of war, to be transferred to Europe for use in the Ukraine against Russia.
In another case, as we speak, Trump has imposed a 25 percent tariff on India for buying Russian oil.
The US is buying uranium from Russia as we speak and the Europeans, always short of heating materials in winter are stock piling on Russian gas. Do as I say and not as I do. You sluggard.
India, under prime minister Surendra Modi has avoided confrontation with the US.
The same has been applied to South Africa, leading to lay offs of 4 000 workers in the automobile manufacturing industry.
The real provocation came this Labor Day week-end, September 1 when the Chinese were holding their annual military parade.
Only a madman could have sent this message to the Chinese leader. Trump remined the Chinese that US servicemen in the Second World War died for China.
"Many Americans died in China’s quest for victory and glory," he continued. "I hope that they are rightfully Honored and Remembered for their bravery and sacrifice! May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America."
The last sentence is not worthy of the president of the United States. It is as if it has been written by a child.
The paragraph is full of errors. After the Great War in 1945, the US started another war in the Far East, in an attempt to replace France and Japan as over-lords.
Typical of mad men, Trump has sent US warships to the Chinese sea and to Venezuela in an attempt to steal their oil. One wonders if somebody has calibrated the possibility of one of the warships being accidentally attacked by pirates: then there is war.
