Israel Does Not Need Peace as Long as it has America
The recent actions of the Benjamin Netanyahu government can be characterized with a good Yiddish word: chutzpah. Admittedly, the Israelis have little reason to believe that any consequences are in store, given the history of their relations with the US. And cautious optimism is still very much warranted when it comes to any analysis of the Obama administration’s Israel policy. However, recent developments are some of the best signs we have seen in years. Even if Obama is a one-termer and the next president is a staunch Israel supporter, given the blind pro-Israel stance that has been the norm in modern American foreign policy, any pressure at all on the “Jewish state” is a good thing, and should be treasured.
Israel’s government continues to engage in its despicable campaign of apartheid and oppression, no doubt expecting the full support of the American sugar daddy. The Israeli colonists and their apologists offer the fantastic notion of “natural growth” as justification for their theft of private property and eviction of innocent people. But what about the “natural growth” of the Palestinian population, which is even greater, given their higher birth rate?
The fact is that Israel does not need peace as long as it has America. The question for Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton is, how long will they have America?
