View Full Version : A message to all koolaid drinkers from the Israeli left...

Here's a blast against current Israeli and US policy by Prof. Tanya Reinhart of Tel Aviv University.
You "Isreel GUD! Hizboola BAD! We KILLS 'EM!" crowd especially need to read this so you'll know what intelligent people are talking about...

Israel's "new Middle East"
Tanya Reinhart
Beirut is burning, hundreds of Lebanese die, hundreds of thousands lose all they ever owned and become refugees, and all the world is doing is rescuing the "foreign passport" residents of what was just two weeks ago "the Paris of the Middle East". Lebanon must die now, because "Israel has the right to defend itself", so goes the U.S. mantra, used to block any international attempt to impose a cease fire.
Israel, backed by the U.S., portrays its war on Lebanon as a war of self defense. It is easy to sell this message to mainstream media, because the residents of the North of Israel are also in shelters, bombarded and endangered. Israel's claim that no country would let such an attack on its residents unanswered, finds many sympathetic ears. But let us reconstruct exactly how it all started.
On Wednesday, July 12, a Hezbollah unit attacked two armored Jeeps of the Israeli army, patrolling along Israel's border with Lebanon. Three Israeli soldiers were killed in the attack and two were taken hostage. In a news conference held in Beirut a couple of hours later, Hezbollah's leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah explained that their aim was to reach a prisoner exchange, where in return for the two captured Israeli soldiers, Israel would return three Lebanese prisoners it had refused to release in a previous prisoner exchange. Nasrallah declared that "he did not want to drag the region into war", but added that "our current restraint is not due to weakness... if they [Israel] choose to confront us, they must be prepared for surprises." (1)
The Israeli government, however, did not give a single moment for diplomacy, negotiations, or even cool reflection over the situation. In a cabinet meeting that same day, it authorized a massive offensive on Lebanon. As Ha'aretz reported, "In a sharp departure from Israel's response to previous Hezbollah attacks, the cabinet session unanimously agreed that the Lebanese government should be held responsible for yesterday's events." Olmert declared: "This morning's events are not a terror attack, but the act of a sovereign state that attacked Israel for no reason and without provocation." He added that "the Lebanese government, of which Hezbollah is a part, is trying to undermine regional stability. Lebanon is responsible, and Lebanon will bear the consequences of its actions."
...and...
But Israel is not sacrificing its soldiers and citizens only to please the Bush administration. The "new Middle East" has been a dream of the Israeli ruling military circles since at least 1982, when Sharon led the country to the first Lebanon war with precisely this declared goal. Hezbollah's leaders have argued for years that its real long-term role is to protect Lebanon, whose army is too weak to do this. They have said that Israel has never given up its aspirations for Lebanon and that the only reason it pulled out of Southern Lebanon in 2000 is because Hezbollah's resistance has made maintaining the occupation too costly. Lebanon's people know what every Israeli old enough to remember knows—that in the vision of Ben Gurion, Israel's founding leader, Israel's border should be "natural," that is—the Jordan river in the East, and the Litani river of Lebanon in the north. In 1967, Israel gained control over the Jordan river, in the occupied Palestinian land, but all its attempts to establish the Litani border have failed so far.

Southern Lebanon would be better off as part of Israel,Ben Gurion was a man of vision.
(For the U.S., the Middle East is a "strategic playing field", where the game is establishing full U.S. domination. The U.S. already controls Iraq and Afghanistan, and considers Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and a few other states as friendly cooperating regimes.where the game is establishing full U.S. domination.

I have been saying this too but not as a "strategic playing field" but to win
the war on terror the US needs a big foot print in the M.E. for decades
perhaps longer to keep the terror movements from comming back.
US and Israeli domination in the reigon is the best way to keep the peace.

You want full domination in a region which is not American property.
And you question the reason why there is no peace?
Extremism/terrorism will NEVER go away.
America in the Middle East is the first line in any recruting effort by terrorist cells to expand their base, and a great example of that is Iraq. There will never be peace or stablity in Iraq or anywhere in the Middle East as long as America has a presense.
You want to have a war on terror, about engaging Saudi Arabia in a war. Most of the known terrorist are from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia also has some of the worst human rights practices in the Middle East. There has also been links to few terrorist organizations and the royal family.
Does America care? Nope, cuz Saudi Arabia bends over on command, thus making them NON-terrorists.

We are three+ years running on our way to dominate the Middle East, especially since thousands of American soldiers have died in probably the poorest and least powerful country in the MidEast, everyday new attacks are taking place, the new govt of Iraq has views that align with the majority power in Iran, and a big majority of people in the US are now against the the war we initiated.

Are you kidding?
Do you know who "terrorist" recruits are?
Poor young adults who get lured into terrorism cuz they have nothing else in life, and those kind of people are a plenty in the MidEast.
Matter of fact, there are more "terrorists" in Iraq now than there were before Saddam, soley for the reason that America is there. America breeds prospective extremists, and as long as we are there, they won't "run out".
And if that is your only argument for why Insurgency is on its last gasp, its a pretty weak argument.

But Dems are employed just the same.
I don't know where you are going with this?
How are Dems being employed and what does that have to do with the Oil and Tobacco special interests?
As I said, the states where tobacco and oil influence politics, there are far more Republicans than Democrats, and the democratic party doesn't rely on those democrats' votes, so they become irrelevent. This is why those two special interests have a big influence in the GOP.
I could careless if there are some Dems that work for them. There are also bunch of Repubs that are part of unions. My point was that the Repubs have a huge money supply coming from special interests, and those interests count on their GOP constituency for support.....Oil, Tobacco and Guns.

So then how do you know which calls to tap?
Are you saying that they tap every call from a "bad" nation. Isn't that racial profiling? Isn't that illegal and unconstitutional?? How can they tap EVERY cal? I mean, Bush and you GOP fellas keep saying that they only tap calls from known terrorists or suspected extremists.
How would you know this if the call itself is the evidence??

If you're gonna pander then pander to someone or something that provides to society in return. Defense contracts employ 1000's upon 1000's As does oil and tobacco. If Detroit would play ball (the union side of Detroit) there would be economic explosions in Michigan.
Pandering to the poor keeps them there.

Defense departments aren't special interests.
Like I said, a majoirty of tobacco and oil company hires come from dominate republican states, which would naturaly be representative in their workforce.
I merely listed that there were huge players in the GOP special interest pool, and you come back by sayign that they employ Dems, as though that would make it ok. And while I'm sure Dems are employees of these special interest groups, a huge majoirty still lies with the GOP and their supports.

What cell?
The prior knowledge that the call is going or coming from the cell isn't evidence??
You must know which calls to monitor, and the ones you monitor are ones that the Intel departments have listed to be suspecious, and they list it to be suspecious based on certain criteria. That criteria is evidence, NOT the call.
You are contradicting yourself big time here.

Haha, dude, you're now just burying yourself.
So you're saying that you have to listen to differentiate between terrorist cells now?
I ask again, the fact that a known cell is making those calls isn't evidence enough to get a warrant?

To me, special interest is the money that goes into campaign warchests.
Defense departments may favor one party to the other, but their influence in the election process is limited.

This is some sick stuff.

If you can accept that Jesus spoke to St Paul. a totally reprehensible man, through a vision on the road to Damascus, why can't you accept the idea he may be calling to you through me, an infinitely nicer person than Saul of Tarsus?
