SAVING AMERICA FROM ITS ALLIES ....

We all ought to thank Senator McCain for declaring that the U.S. congress should reconsider funding for the United Nations , if the security council approves a resolution on Palestinian statehood . The Speaker of the House Mr.  Boehner , is planning a personal urgent trip to Israel to deliver similar messages , we truly should thank both politicians for safeguarding our security and the country's safety from the wrathful Israeli vengeance . Someone had to do it .


Sometimes ago in one of my older blogs , I cautioned Americans from what could happen if and when our policies and interests diverge from those of Israel or its political leadership's policies and visions , I even at the time used the expression " God help us", as I believed back then and still believe today that their reactions protecting what they consider their interests and dreams , could be extremely malignant and vengeful even toward their best and only ally .


Some Americans continue to believe in conspiracy theories , especially concerning the 9/11 tragedy , I still periodically receive different clips , documentations and detailed articles , some by serious bodies of professionals , explaining the how and why , the direct Mossad involvement , and the blind eyes of our investigative agencies , and their fixation on one side only . I have to stress that I personally do not adhere to this line of thought and never accepted those assumptions , but sometimes and in line of what is presented , and the aftermath of it all , one can not refrain from thinking .


Following this line , yes I believe that Israel will kill and bury 50 or more years of absolute alliance and loyalty , plus the many dozens of billions of our taxpayer Dollars in a glimpse and turn its ugly face to America and Americans when we're not so compliant and obliging . They will surely try to mess up and poison our political system willingly .


One quick and explicit example of divergence is the Israeli actual policy toward Russia and Ukraine , whereby trade between Israel and Russia has reached almost 5$ billion in 2014 , where Russian industries are quite interested in some Israeli military technologies unavailable to them from American sources and industries , thus Israel and against America and all Western wishes , has been neutral over Moscow's involvement in Ukraine and abstained from joining any Western imposed sanctions , or condemnation . On the contrary Israel have made known its objections to American and Western sanctions on Russia .


Israel is looking for Israel first , within the context of our partnership and alliance , isn't it high time for us here to start looking for America first ???     thank you all for your time .


       

WHAT A DESTINY .....

I want to describe today , what in my opinion the Arab world is turning into and where it is headed . At the cost of repeating myself ,  in the 40's , 50's and maybe the 60's of the last century, the Arab world and its populations was still capable , or still could have veered itself into some sort of enlightenment , an Arab Renaissance if you would .


Young people , in most Arab countries were offered and going through a fair degree of education at all levels , the youth were generally energized , optimistic , creative and hopeful for their own and their nation's future . They were the nucleus of a brighter future for a whole generation of young aspiring Arabs .


Of course , many reasons , rational and explanations were given as to the why and how , and to what contributed later to the decline and failure of this dream , mostly attributing the whole situation to  Western and Israeli  wars , interventions , exploitations and direct secret agencies manipulations .


There is no denying or belittling of those responsibilities  from the colonialism era to the forcefully imposed creation of Israel and its subsequent millions of Palestinian refugees , to the general present and actual chaos .


But , and to be fair to ourselves and to history , we'd have to admit and accept the responsibility of Arab populations themselves ,Arab leaders, Arab kingdoms and Emirates , death-dealing factions , assassinations , aggressions and defeat in wars,  Arab military coups d'etat , bringing to power brutal military dictators , there is no shortage here of listings .


Of course adding to it all is Islam !!  and its sure influence on the closing of the Arab mind , Arabs are as responsible as they are victims of the false pride in their historical past , secular and religious , imbibed with the inherited Hebraic notion of grandiose and superiority, of being God's chosen propagators and promulgators , translated through old applications of religious social , economic and political archaic ways , further separating them from modernity and civilized societies .


This pseudo marriage between dictatorship and Islam , always advocating sincere intentions and betterness , while imposing ruthlessly their doctrines and ideologies over the Ummah . From eccentric and lunatic Qaddafi , to sanguine and brutal Assad , to Utopian and merciless Saddam , or the eternal Saleh of Yemen , whether the living in some other times and sphere of reality Saudis , Bahrainis or Moroccans , the theological regime of Sudan or the military regime of Algeria , they all strongly contributed to the annihilation of the Ummah , its secularism and democracy , Islam and the dictators were the real enemies of the Arab dream of union .


Arabs missed having the illuminated American founding fathers , or some enlightened European thinkers , not even a Singapore type sincere and clean dictator , but !!!! Instead they had their fill of brutal dictators , corrupt administrators and theologians and theocracies leading them carefully and systematically to their sad present .


Lucky are Americans and Western peoples in general for their heritage , for their separation of state and religion , for their democracies , when not tempered with by the powerful ,  hoping people will not take lightly what was achieved  throughout  our history , and not succumb to childish and immature bickering or political and financial profiteering or blindly follow  Neocons adventurism , hegemony and false superiority , whether local or foreign .        Many thanks for listening .


  

COLOR BLINDNESS .......

Why do we keep making it one of our top controversies ? Blacks are surely an essential part of our structure and our fabrics , they've been in this country longer that many of us , two to three centuries at least , and still we mostly behave as if we have great difficulty accepting these facts , and still stigmatize , discredit and denounce their presence .


We in most cases love their athleticism , and consider some Black athletes inspirational in our sports . We love their  music , their songs , tunes and rhythms , some of these influenced our minds and music for ever . We have to admit that we Cherish their spirited minds and ways ,  so very lively and different from most of our Protestant  and Calvinistic rigidity and very focused lives .


We love their dancing skills , their military prowess and enthusiasm  in defending their country , yes we love most of these attributes and features , but we still don't like the people , let's accept it , many of us are still very biased , un-accepting and not liking , short of saying hating , why is that so ??


Are we living a color dislike ??  while in other instances we generally love the color black , we find it very easy to match to almost any other color, is it then an inherited preconceived stigma , a strong feeling that Blacks are not really us , believing that any or all colors  are not really us .


I  consider myself as mostly a "rosy white" , with a touch of brownish tan , enough generally to make me not very pure , coming from a Semitic Middle-Eastern original tribe , and somehow I sometimes for no good reasons harbor these feelings , fortunately I always get very quickly back to my senses .While for instance in Israel Black Jews are considered and treated as second or third class citizens , and Arabs do not even count .


Musslems and Arabs have little respect for colored people , in the Arabic language , consequently in the Arab world , the word slave or Ab'd  pronounced Abed in Arabic , has somehow a different connotation , as it is often given as a first name to males , always attached to God or one of his many attributes , Ab'dalla , the slave of God , or the slave of the generous , the merciful or the powerful . As well as the literal meaning of slave , it is hard and perplexing for many Arabs , when reminded to address Blacks as Black or African , it's practically always Abed .


But hey !! the same applies to other colors as well , any darker skin as in Indian or Srilankan , throughout the middle-East would put the person automatically into a house maid or driver category , the same goes for Israel . Here in America , the ill feelings and intolerance toward other colors takes many shapes and forms whether Latinos , Asians or Arabs . Europeans have similar problems but to a lesser degree , Israelis are notorious in the way they treat their own Black Jews and of course Arabs .


We have to admit in all honesty that these problems are not just police and law enforcement problems but are very obviously societal problems , the same as in many parts of the world , the European continent , Israel and the Arab and Musslem worlds all share the same mentality and problems .


So what is it to be done for our common future ? accept , live with the other or keep denying and resisting our social fabrics , turning our melting pot into a total myth . Both Whites and Blacks as well as any shade of color , race or religion in between , have to understand and get it clearly into our heads , that safeguarding our identities could not be preserved or reconstructed only and through the destruction of the antithetical other .


My usual many thanks for listening .
