It is this singular inability to be objective about the Arab-Israeli conflict that has cost the United States its global standing. In the Arab and Muslim world and beyond, the US has been rightfully accused of double standards, primarily because of its blind support for Israel. You don’t need a pundit to point out the patent absence of credibility of US position on different global issues. Wherever an Israeli connection exists, the US position has been marked by consistent distortions. Take today’s US position on Iran – the make-believe “existential threat” to Israel. You would be led to believe that it is Iran that maintains an undisclosed arsenal of nuclear weapons or that it refuses to sign the NPT or allow IAEA inspections? Not so. A signatory to the NPT, Iran has, in fact, no nuclear weapon and allows regular IAEA inspections. It is only Israel that is guilty on all accounts. But the US insistence on sanctions only applies to Iran. Heaven help us if an American should seek a blanket application all around that could include Israel! As for the Middle East, the world is witness to the selective applications of UN security council resolutions as a basis for legitimizing military actions. One has to wonder which UN security council resolution has the US ever held Israel to account for! If UN security council resolution 242 were enforced, there would be no debate today on the so-called settlement issue: Israel would have been forced to withdraw to just 80% of Palestine that it managed to occupy prior to June 1967 – and the Palestinians, left with 20% of their ancestral lands in the West Bank and Gaza, could then have been, with deft diplomatic initiatives, persuaded to co-exist with their Zionist neighbors. But, then you have the fifth column in the US itself in the likes of Dennis Ross and Israel can bank on Tel Aviv defining US policies. It’s time for Americans to ask: Whose interests do the Dennis Ross’ serve?
Those of us living in LEBANON laugh out loud while watching the influence of the talmudics over the national interests of the US....“…under scrutiny for putting the interests of Israel before the U.S.” ??? Another laugh.... That, my friends, is called ‘business as usual’.Happy Easter! We celebrate the resurrection of Christ, rejected still by the self-worshiping talmudics.....
