IS THE US AN ACCOMPLICE ???

Yes, we all have to ask ourselves is this administration pushing and making us all accomplices to a crime dealing with blatant theft . The US criminal law explicitly states that ; " The accomplice to a felony or misdemeanor is the person, or entity, who by aiding or abetting, facilitates its preparation or commission . Any person  or entity who by means of a gift, promise, threat, order or an abuse of authority or powers, provokes the commission of an offence or gives instructions to commit it, is also an accomplice. 

The official US, is pushing and facilitating the state of Israel and its fascist neocons leaders, to annex the Golan heights, aiding and facilitating as well the next move of annexing the illegally occupied West-Bank. Are we really, officially or simply under the influence and pressure of certain blinded politicians, lobbyists, administration's family affiliations and fanatical leanings, religious lunatic beliefs turning ourselves into accomplices to a crime of theft ?? Are we really facilitating the pathway for the Zionists to annex major chunks of  entire foreign lands (Syrian) including parts of its population, to be added to the multitudes of Palestinians already suffering beyond description from Israeli hegemony, apartheid and the deliberate dehumanizing of all indigenous non Jewish population.

The US is slowly and surely starting this path, by declaring it legit by Presidential tweet, and changing its definition and description of the situation. The US administration is reversing, and purely for electoral manipulations and benefits, the official US policy for the past 5 decades, it will not be under Israeli occupation anymore, but nicely and conveniently changed to under Israeli control, as well as some other suitable terminologies suddenly appearing in all official reports.

Israel unilaterally annexed the Golan Heights in 1981, after occupying it in the 1967 war. The UN resolution 497, issued after the annexation, called Israel  "The occupying power" it explicitly says ; Israel's attempt to impose its jurisdictions, laws and administration over it, is null and void, without any international legal effect. Maybe the resolution was trying to remind everyone in the future of not becoming accomplices of a theft.

Legally, religiously, rationally or any other form of legislation, they all consider theft immoral and wrong, punishable by actual civil laws and Godly prohibitions. We have to look at this act as a pure and simple act of theft, no other word could describe it, and we are officially and openly backing it, defending and encouraging it, facilitating and aiding it, turning us all into accomplices of theft by force, and it seems our leaders and part of their bases don't care nor give a damn about it, they are encouraging it for the whatever cheap electoral gains or weird ideologies they're trying to establish right now in America . 

The entire Israeli illegal occupation of Palestinian and Syrian lands, and consequently the treatment of its native populations, makes one think, where does the line between civilization and barbarism lay!! the thin difference between Stalinist gulag, the Nazi annihilation camps, and the Israeli theft, killing and imprisonment of non Jews, and its concentration camps in Gaza and elsewhere drives all of us easily to see the similarities, and the same fascist mentality that drove the three examples.

 But again and again, what vexes the most, is the American official political apparatus total blindness, purposely or naively, this blind open support to Israeli Zionism, barbarism and deliberate theft. It's  simply another way to get American troops back to Syria but from the back door.  Time for Americans to wake-up and clear their names of criminal association. let's hope we're not collectively too stupid to know we're acting stupid, sometimes I have my doubts, Maybe we are, but I don't think so .

My, as always many thanks .             

ANTI VERSUS ANTI .....

If the majority of the world, and more so the Western world including the US. consider that denigrating and dehumanizing the Jews is bad, and it is in full collusion with antisemitism, I for one fully second that opinion and stand by it. But then shouldn't we all do the same with all other religions and other ethnic groups and minorities ??

 The first that comes to mind would be the Palestinians, who are suffering exactly the same fate, and the same treatment and the same brutality, the same tactics and apartheid rules Jews suffered from in many instances of their history, and funny enough, both fall under the same category of being Semites, the same Semitic race, that follow the same God and share many of his prophets and rituals.

Anti-Semitism as it's being debated lately at different levels in America and Europe simultaneously, is being absolutely proven to be very different and separate from anti-Zionism or anti-Israeli political and military tactics and strategies. On the contrary all efforts to fight anti-Semitism while creating a de facto accepted situation of annihilation, denigration and dehumanization of the entire non Jewish natives of the land, would only worsen the situation, and lead to more injustice to both people and to the case of anti-Semitism in general. Ignoring one side of it will surely undermine the moral basis of the other one.

Ilhan Omar, the new American Congresswoman, accused of anti-Semitism after describing and criticizing the lobbying power of AIPAC and their tactics to influence US legislators, policies and blind faith in Israeli actions against millions of Palestinians within Israel itself, the occupied territories and outside refugees, she criticized the US government's unconditional support for illegal and internationally condemned settlements, that kills any remaining chance of peace in the future .

She spoke clearly against the role of money in politics and its influence on American politicians. But let's face it and honestly admit, that all her accusations were purely political and non was anti-Semitic, her address to Congress was perfectly within her rights as a member.

What really constitute anti-Semitism is the reaction of part of the media, the president and his apparatus, oligarchy and family and various profiteering politicians who all maintained stupidly that criticizing US policy toward Israel and Israeli acts of brutal colonialism, apartheid and blunt theft of land, on individual and state levels, they all maintained that this type of criticism is the same as attacking the Jewish faith or the Jewish people, very cheap political and electoral manipulation indeed.

Many people including myself, have reached the political conclusion, that since Israel's politicians and settlers' tactics practically killed the two States solution, and rendered it totally unrealisable, the only solution left to this horrific injustice is the one country, genuinely democratic, secular and serving all of its people from all faiths and color and ethnic background on equal foot. Only then real peace could be achieved, we have reached a time where no one aspire to throw all Israelis into the sea, nor annihilate and exterminate all the millions of Palestinians.

Peace could then be achieved internally and with all Arab, Muslem and non Arab states of the region, at least it is widely known and fully recognized that Arabs throughout history were never anti-Semitic, or active in persecuting, annihilating and dehumanizing Jews. They've always historically managed to coexist and live together in fair harmony and peace.

This Israeli Zionist policy is not really part of the Jewish philosophy nor part of its intellect, it follows more in the footsteps of European historical colonialism and more so the recent American hegemony,  "Israel is the nation-state of Jews alone" Mr Netanyahu responds to a TV star who said that Arabs are equal citizens, and they are human beings too. A considerable part of the problem lies in the Zionist approach, views and tactics, they too have to help the world get rid of its bad habits of anti-Semitic tendencies and not perpetuate everything ugly in its power to encourage it .
                      My usual profound thanks to all my readers in America and around the world.                   

THE NEVER ENDING ENMITY .....

For most of the last century, and well into ours, a good faction of the American popular and official sentiments toward any country or regime, elected leader or self appointed dictator, anywhere in the world who utter the word socia....  we start considering bombarding them out of existence, and sanction their economies, confiscate their assets, legal or not we don't care. Now any country or regime, any leader elected or not who says social, we will invade with our military or by using some proxy, created and funded militia or army backed by us, to create a war and uproot the so called regime or head of a regime, and prepare for our direct interference. Now if anyone or any regime dare to pronounce the word socialism complete, or claim to be abiding by some socialist reforms is to be totally annihilated and if deemed necessary nuked.

Of course unless they belong to an allie of ours, or an entity we fail to get, then it's OK, and we start looking for other weaker subjects and more winnable adventures. In the US, We basically will not tolerate the word socialism, and surely not accept anyone abiding by its norms or philosophy no matter how they do it . And we have pushed the definition of the word to absurd levels, as the Vice President Mike Pence who was attacking some Democrat challengers of his administration and labelling them socialists,  for calling for medicare for all, and fighting climate change.

In today's America, a new wave of politicians, calling for some social reforms and rectifications, that are practically applied in every industrialized country , even some developing countries, asking the public sector to assume a larger share of medical for all, affordable education for all, and better and more equitable taxation, these people can only call themselves pseudo names, like progressive thinkers, liberals, middle to the left, rather than using the word social reforms, for fear of being accused of treason, condemned and punished.

Our latest tools of economical sanctions, we believe will subdue the entire world. And if it fails we can always come back to our past rhetoric and blame game, and start a new war somewhere or even a world war. Unfortunately, the breed of new leaders we have cultivated in many parts of the world, including the US and Israel, are absolutely a much more dangerous risk for it all to go in smoke and destruction.

Left, leftist, terrorist, radical socialist, liberal, Muslem or self hating Jew, are all becoming the norm in stereotyped words, serving to label anyone calling for any type of social equilibrium, or for the government to assume its responsibilities in spending the wealth of the country and its tax revenues.

Anyone who dare criticizing our foreign policies, no matter how imperialistic they could be, anyone who dare mention a word of criticism about Israel and its hegemony and brutal apartheid policies, deserves to be immediately labelled and branded with any or all of the above demeaning words, and made to pay the price .

As we did in previous years to Iraq, Libya, Syria and other places throughout the world, now Yemen, Venezuela and Iran, are the targets of our hate and force. some are socialists, and some are religious terrorists, some are dictators , some are tyrants, and they are all serving to intimidate all of the rest of their regional neighbors, by showing what can happen to any country that defies the US. or its allies. Now if any of these entities possess oil, especially big oil, then the desirability and excitement of our administrations, military and special interests groups behind them, goes wild and become uncontrollable.

As well, if our dearest allie, needs to eliminate any one of these bothersome neighboring countries, America is fully ready to oblige, and engage our boys and girls in any adventure, justified or not, beneficial to our interests or not, and of course the right terminology and labels are always ready and available, internally and internationally. Terrorist, socialist, anti democratic, restricter of freedom, not abiding by our rules and interests, we just unleash our machine with these words, and whoops !!!! We are fully justified and ready to march to our next adventure.

These policies of easy imperialism and supremacy, whereby we're not really allies of anyone but masters of all, is proving in our actual times, to be not beneficial nor suitable to our strategic interests and to global stability and rapprochement. Only to serve some very few oligarchies and tainted leaders, their families and their immediate interests.                                                       My many thanks as always.
