israel prepares to 'go it alone'

The world is skating on thin ice, as israel prepares to draw its final hand.

In the coming weeks, expect the worst from a schizophrenic state which, imagining the world is out to get them, intends to take everyone out first.

Despite America's current strong support for Israel, the Jewish State should be prepared to "go it alone" in the years ahead, an American professor warned.

Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz mentioned several events as reasons to be concerned. They could create "the conditions for a perfect storm," he said, with Israel at the center.

And we all know what happened at the end of that movie.

The first event is the recent publication of former President Jimmy Carter's book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Dershowitz, addressing a recent national security conference in Herzliya, Israel, called Carter's book a "watershed event" in U.S.-Israeli and U.S.-Jewish relations.

Carter's book asserts the "old canard" that Jews control the media and because they do, it prevents fair coverage of the Palestinians' plight, said Dershowitz, who addressed the gathering by satellite.

Carter's book also promotes the idea that Jewish control of American politics makes it "suicidal" for any American politician to present a "balanced view" of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Carter gave legitimacy to arguments that undermine Israel, Dershowitz said. Until now, such arguments have only been heard from the extreme right and left, he added.

It truly is unprecedented.:)

The professor also mentioned college campuses where "junk academics" have created a debate on the proper role of "Jewish influence" on American foreign policy. This is instilling questions about Israel's right to exist in the next generation, he said.

Then there's the "media war" against Israel, where terror groups such as Hizballah and Hamas attack Israelis, using civilians as cover -- then reap public relations benefits when Israel retaliates and kills the civilians, Dershowitz said.

He's mad as a hatter.

Finally, there are comments from prominent Americans such as retired General Wesley Clark, a former Democratic presidential hopeful and Supreme Allied NATO commander, who recently hinted that there is too much Jewish involvement in U.S. foreign policy. "New York 'money people' are pushing the U.S. into war with Iran," Dershowitz quoted Clark as saying.

"Israel must be prepared for the possibility of losing American support over the coming years, diplomatically, economically, militarily and morally," said Dershowitz. But Israel should not allow "these stereotypes to weaken its resolve but it must be prepared to go it alone."

Robert Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that on a "popular level," Americans deeply support Israel. But on the "elite level," there is a "weakening" of that support.

This guy must be on crack.

Satloff said the only people who took Carter to task over his book were Jews. (Fourteen members of the Carter Center's advisory board resigned in protest on Jan. 11.) Twenty years ago, he said, Americans like Scoop Jackson, Jean Kirkpatrick and Dan Moynihan would have stood up against him.

That was then. This is now.

"I am concerned about the weakness in support for Israel among the non-Jewish, non-Evangelical foreign policy elite that remained silent," Satloff said at the same Herzliya conference. "It is not a crisis, but in my view, it is a point of deep concern."

Calev Ben-David of The Israel Project, told Cybercast News Service there is a "troubling" trend in the U.S. of delegitimizing supporters of Israel. But he said that's because Israel's supporters have been successful in transmitting the truth about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

That's why they've hired the biggest names on Madison avenue to revamp their battered image.

Some of the people that are against Israel feel that they have "lost the argument," Ben-David said. So instead of attacking Israel, they have now focused their criticism on those who support Israel.

Rightly so - they're the ones who got us into this mess.

What's good for Vlad is good for US.

This is a "deliberate strategy," because according to polls conducted by The Israel Project, support for Israel is at an all-time high in regards to the Israeli-Palestinian issue, said Ben-David.

The man is delusional.

Raising the idea of "dual loyalty" of Americans who support Israel is like saying that Spanish-speaking American citizens shouldn't participate in the debate on immigration laws, he said.

It's only okay if you do it to Muslims, or Arab Americans.

Israel has both Jewish and non-Jewish supporters, said Ben-David. It's a "smear tactic" to question their right to make an argument in favor of Israel, he said.

Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, is considered America's closest ally in the region. The U.S. is Israel's closet ally by far in the international community.

Israel is considered to have strong bi-partisan support in Congress, and visiting U.S. diplomats and politicians always make it a point to emphasize the strong U.S.-Israel ties and American commitment to Israeli security.

This of course, is a colossal understatement. They might as well rename Capitol Hill 'Little israel.'

On a religious level, American Jews and Evangelical Christians alike regard Israel's existence as having Biblical importance.

The U.S. also is the main broker in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiating process and is leading the fight against terrorism worldwide -- a war that Israel has been waging for decades . . .

but that they have more recently outsourced to US.

Keep in mind that implicit in the process of 'going it alone' is that israel first SEVERS ITS TIES with the US.

In other words, expect a final ruthless knife in the back from our 'friends' in Tel-Aviv and their agents in Washington, on their way out.

the claim, that support for Israel was on a all time high.

What kind of crackpot poll could that have been exclusivly done in Texas or what?

I mean even some news agencies are leaving the Israeli band wagon.

If they would severe the ties to America this would be a good thing.

But I rather think, they will start the war against Iran and when the retaliation comes, they will demand American support.......and get it.

I believe the tide turned against Israel during the last rape of Lebanon, when the U.N. and Europe did nothing. Ever since then, Israel and its supporters have been hemorrhaging. Their lies have always been Orwellian, but now they have become surreal. The louder they squawk, the more they expose their psychosis. Every charge of "anti-Semitism" is another shovel-full of dirt as they dig their own grave. Now Israel is coming apart with internal corruption. Clearly they are desperate. If Israel or its servant (the USA) attacks Iran, then World War III will not break out immediately. Instead of retaliating, Iran will have more to gain by absorbing the blow while allowing hatred to fester throughout the Muslim world and beyond. What worries me is that Israel may nuke an American city in a false flag operation. This will postpone Israel's doom, but it will not stop it. If Israel starts to go down, then people who live in cities like Beirut or Damascus had better clear out, since Israel will surely exercise its "Samson option." Woe to the Jews of Israel when Palestinians finally reclaim their land. Woe to the brutal Arab tyrants who have collaborated with Israel. Of course, the Israeli leadership understands all this. That's why they are working 24/7 to cultivate ties with China. They hope China will be their new host should their American satellite slip out of orbit, so to speak. Everyone keep your eyes on the economic summit in Davos, Switzerland. We may see some very interesting developments come out of that.

QRSWAVE, you've outdone yourself with this post. It's scary, but very encouraging.

It is difficult to overstate the level of control that the zionists hold in D.C.

"On October 3, 2001, I.A.P. News reported that according to Israel Radio (in Hebrew) Kol Yisrael an acrimonious argument erupted during the Israeli cabinet weekly session last week between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his foreign Minister Shimon Peres. Peres warned Sharon that refusing to heed incessant American requests for a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests and "turn the US against us. "Sharon reportedly yelled at Peres, saying "don't worry about American pressure, we the Jewish people control America.""

This upcoming war is a fulfullment of the plan of Albert Pike who said that in the third world war, Islam and political zionism would be destroyed. He's two for two so far.

The Russian nuclear reactors are thin cover for the fact that Iran acquired tactical nukes from Belarus and Kazahkstan in the post soviet chaos. If the Iranians can pretend to develop their own arsenal, it gives the Russians deniability, even though the Russians didn't sell the weapons. A fellow named General Lebed warned us about this, then got choppered within 2 months.

If the borderless, constitutionless entity known as israel that occupies West Palestine thinks that Iran can't toast Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Dimona, they are making a suckers bet. And the green zone will become the green glass zone.

US won't be able to support Israel even if it wanted to.
US is approaching insolvency - the fed. gov borrows an average of $2.5Billions every day meanwhile 78 million baby boomers are set to retire and start drawing Soc.Sec instead of paying taxes.
Country is industrial base has been dismantled and shipped to China - result is that the country produces little and buys everything abroad printing ever larger quantities of dollars to pay for imports. Foreign suppliers are growing weary of the ever increasing paper dollar avalanche, so the dollar keeps losing value.

I can't wait for the Born Againers to get played out with their new toy, Zionism. Just like they did with 'Manifest Destiny'. I'm waiting to see the blinding light of 'Rapture' on their faces when Israel implodes.
