Israel VS Iran: It IS Your Business!

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman

Yesterday, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman dismissed warnings by the United States government not to attack Iran, saying "[It] is not their business."

Well, he's 100% wrong! And here's why:

It is the business of the United States whether Israel attacks Iran or not. Israel wouldn't exist if it weren't for the United States. The United States has consistently protected Israel through its position on the UN Security Council. The United States has given billions, if not trillions, in foreign aid, training and weaponry to the country of Israel. The very weapons Israel would use to start a conflict were provided by the United States and paid for by American citizens.

Ultimately, whether Israel attacks Iran is the business of not just the United States but every person on this planet. Because everyone is affected by these wars. A war against Iran is potentially so destabilizing to the region, it contains the possibility of plunging the entire globe into a new World War. It wouldn't stop at being a conflict between Israel and Iran. It would immediately and automatically involve the United States. Our business. Russian and China would undoubtedly come to the defense of Iran, as would the entire Arab World. Their business.

The U.S. doesn't have the wherewithal to successfully undertake a war in ONE country. How would we defend ourselves against invasion by China and Russia? How would we defend Israel against concerted attacks by multiple Arab countries?

It's impossible...and to talk of it is irresponsible.

Thankfully, it's all hot air. No sane human leader would truly undertake such an unwinnable endeavor. Plus, our offworld friends have indicated they won't allow it.

What's my point? Well, other than to suggest you not allow yourself to become afraid at this possiblity, I'd encourage you to examine the relationship between the United States and Israel and ask yourself if it's worth our while as a country to continue such unconditional support for a nation whose government is filled with blathering idiots like Lieberman and Netanyahu.

I think we could send a clear message that the United States is interested in peace by publicly excoriating the Israelis for their saber-rattling language. But then, our own politicians engage in it as well.

This is where everyday Americans can band together and speak out. Occupy the message.

Israel's Losing Gambit

Ol' Bibi is on the ropes, and I'm betting it surprises the HELL out of him!  The U.S., unable to keep its own economy running, might start cutting aid to Israeli militant groups.  Israel really screwed up recently by killing three Egyptian border guards.  Egypt is pissed.  I don't think you want to piss off the NEW Egypt, Mr. NetanYahoo!  We, the world, LOVE the new Egypt.  They're our symbol of the Earthling Spring (coming soon to a country near you).  It's kinda like going on children's television and shooting Barney in the head. 

While thousands of Israelis protest their own government 24/7, it looks like Israel is blowing new "conflict" with Gaza out of proportion to distract the public and give them an excuse to get young people off the street - possibly by going to war.  But that gambit isn't working.  If you ask regular humans across the planet, Gaza has good reason to fight Israel, considering their years-long illegal blockade keeping food, medicine, and construction materials out of the hands of the suffering masses there.  Israel has made any sort of economy in Gaza virtually impossible.  What do you THINK is going to happen? 

Meanwhile, Hamas is publicly abandoning war with Israel. Even as Israel steps up their policy of tearing down Palestinian homes and building Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory.  Now, Hamas chooses peace while Israel tries as hard as ever to foment a war so they can force their own protesting youth to fight.  Looks like one side finally grew up and figured out you can never win a war.  Any war.  You can only have peace by choosing peace.  I'm not surprised it wasn't Israel.  Without a militant Palestinian state, what excuse will they have to continue their holocaust against Palestine and permit them to have their own country?  Here's hoping Hamas upholds that peace even in the face of continued murder and humiliation by Israel. 

If they can, let me tell you how this ends:  With Israel looking like the bad guys they are, and a peaceful Palestine finally freed from Israel's grip - free to live a dignified life and contribute peacefully to the planet. 

Israeli Spring?

It seems the disenfranchised in Israel, a demographic usually invisible to the American public, has taken to heart the examples set by their Arab, Greek and Spanish counterparts.  Not only have they launched massive street-clogging protests, but they've launched their own tent city.  Even the country's physicians have begun a hunger strike.

Israel's version of Tahrir Square

According to Turkish Weekly, up to 30,000 protesters clogged Tel Aviv Square this past Saturday night, July 23.  What are they so worked up about?  Apparently it's not just in America that The Rent Is Too Damned High!  “Out of 45,000 Israeli couples who got married last year, 35,000 were unable to buy a flat,” said 29-year-old newlywed Meytal Cohen Akerman.  Apparently she and her husband aren't the only professionals seeing the Israeli middle class slipping into poverty. 

Tent cities popping up

Since many young Israelis are finding themselves with nowhere to live, they've started a tent city along Rothschild Blvd., hailed as "Israel's version of Park Avenue."  This location is particularly interesting to anyone who tracks the Illuminati/Bilderberg/Dark Cabal conspiracy.  Rothschild is the family alleged to be at the head of the European branch of the Old World Order, reportedly in its death throes at the time of writing. 

Also interesting is that this is neither one of the uprisings reported to be on the agenda of the global elite according to insiders, nor is it a politically divisive issue.  A recent poll show 87% of Israelis are in solidarity with the protesters. If' George W. Bush considered 51% a mandate, I wonder what he'd say about this.

Prime Minister "Bibi" Netanyahu has canceled a trip and the Israeli interior minister is calling on the Knesset to cancel their summer recess in order to respond to the crisis.

Doctors on hunger strike

And if Netanyahu is getting migraines from all this stress, he might want to consult his personal physician.  It seems Israel's doctors may not be too keen to help him, at least not the younger ones.  Not only are they protesting in the streets carrying signs calling on Israel to "Save Public Medicine" (even ISRAEL has universal health care?  So unfair!), but one of the physicians leading the protest has begun a hunger strike that may well spread to others if their demands for a livable wage are not met by the Israel Medical Association.  Doctors are actually threatening to resign from hospitals en masse!  While this 16-week strike may be nothing more than your typical trade union tactic, the timing couldn't be worse for Israel's government - and the root cause, a debt-riddled society on the cusp of economic collapse, won't be settled any time soon.

That is unless the world financial system as it has stood for the past century is completely dismantled and replaced.  You may not think that's impossible, but a ridiculous multitude of sources - financial, political, spiritual, and even extraterrestrial - say that's exactly what's being set up behind the scenes on a global scale.  But that's a topic for another post...
