While no one can know for certain that Benjamin Netanyahu's recent overature to the Palestinians is sincere or not, we must give him the benefit of the doubt at this point. Certainly a realization that a two state solution is the only solution is an important step for the right wing of Israel's political structure to make. I would hope that this is sincere.

The Palestinians rejected this outreach, initially, and that was to be expected. But they are probably getting the best deal that they can. If the Palestinians are serious about a two state solution themselves they cannot blame Israel for not wanting the Palestinians to create a standing army. The middle east is armed to the teeth as it is. My hope is that negotiations continue to solve this crisis with a two state solution.

Whle the perfect solution would be a one state solution where there is no religious influence by either party, that is not going to happen. A two state solution is the best we can hope for. It would disarm the Iranian argument against Israel and could create lasting peace in the middle east.

With China wanting Iranian oil to fuel a recovery  that many deem as being necessary to WORLD PROSPERITY, the complexity of the Iranian/Israeli conflict widens. China needs the oil. We need China to drive the world recovery. I believe an all out war against Iran cannot be permitted, even if some effort to hit nuke facilities is agreed on. An all out war against Iran puts the economic recovery in peril. That is something for Israel and the US to think long and hard about.  

First of all, my natural father was Jewish and I claim to be a descendent of the Jews. I am adopted and raised by Gentiles. Any efforts some may have to label me antisemite would be nothing but a smear and a lie. I support the existance of Israel but I also have written about reparations for Palestines through the United Nations and there are links below about my position.

I will attempt to write a fair minded explanation of what I know and what every American needs to know. This is a roadmap to reality, and many Jews and descendents of Jews like myself are with me in being repulsed by the situation we find ourselves in.

It is important to know that the establishment of the Neocons is key to understanding our present situation. Neocon formation was made "legitimate" through the philosophy of Leo Strauss. Leo Strauss was not a Jew in the sense of being adherent to the law of Moses. I received that information in an email from Alan Dershowitz. Yet he was sired by Jewish parents. He was an atheistic Zionist. Strauss's view was that the elite can lie to the masses, and therefore impose their will upon the populace. It is clear that Leo Strauss, and the descendents of Jews who followed him in philosophy were not practicing Jews, rather they were godless atheists.

His most famous pupil was Paul Wolfowitz, who has been caught in the lie of WMD as the reason for going into Iraq. Leo Strauss was an amoral person, with no Jewish or Christian ethics to guide him. He was a loose cannon, if you will, who believed in keeping a shell or form of democracy, but with firm control being maintained by the elite who could be as amoral as Strauss himself!

Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle and others were  members of PNAC, a group of neocons founded on the principles of Leo Strauss, by Bill Kristol, a lowly commentator for Faux News. Unfortunately I am Just kidding about Kristol. Actually, Mr. Kristol has an influence that is extraordinary. He apparently succeeded in pulling together the atheist descendents of Jews who were on the right wing, and the big oil guys like Cheney, Jeb Bush, etc, who saw America as the only superpower after the fall of the Soviet Union. This PNAC organization had right wing US descendents of Jews who are really amoral, and big oil men with designs on empire building at the core of their membership.

Paul Wolfowitz was central to the establishment of the lie of WMD as a reason for going into Iraq. He was telling Europeans at the same time that Iraq was swimming in a sea of oil. Wolfowitz was the planner of the Iraq War for Oil. I have written elsewhere that Chevron wanted Iraq reserves.

The mischief caused by this lethal combination of right wing US amoral descendents of Jews (closely aligned with Likud) and Gentile big oil men who wanted to extend American power has brought us to where we are now, near ruin economically. As to religious philosophy, the Neocons are very much similar to the Russian Bolsheviks, men who were amoral and bloodthirsty as well. 

My personal view is that big oil wields a greater influence than Likud, but that there definitely is a merging of the minds. And Likud gets their way regarding many appointments and has a lot of influence in congress through Schumer, and others.

Furthermore, there is a connection, though I have not hard evidence of it, between the international bankers who set up the off balance sheet banking (resulting in liar loans and the credit crisis) and the neocon/Zionist push into the middle east.

I have a glimmer of evidence however. Alan Greenspan first stated to George Bush that the oil ministry be secured in Iraq as number one priority. That same Alan Greenspan also stated in early 2004 that adjustable mortgages could be a better investment than fixed rate mortgages. The same guy who wanted Iraq Oil also advocated ponzi loans! Something to think about.

Likud had a desire for America to come into the middle east. I am not sure if they realized the limitations of American power there. But they wanted the US to be involved in middle eastern affairs to secure the life of Israel. While I support the existance of Israel, I am very doubtful that our excursion into Iraq, and consequencial fleecing of the American people with liar loans in order to finance that war has made Israel more secure.

I would say that Israel is less secure now than before. America, their most prominent ally, is severely weakened, and while we have the power to influence, we do not have unlimited resources for war. We are facing massive inflation or perhaps deflation down the road just by bailing out the banks. We are off to an expanded war in Afghanistan trying to secure the country for the pipeline that will extract Caspian oil. On the surface, this does not seem to allow for more security for Israel.

If Israel would abandon a Zionist position that the entire land is theirs down to the final square inch (which has no old or new covenant sanction) they could work out a compromise with the Palestinians. Add to that the Reparations that I believe could be given by the world and there would be a chance for lasting peace. As it is now, Zionism is causing the Israelis to gain more hostile enemies than she needs.

Israel has accomplished much, and certainly the entire middle east could benefit from peace with Israel. However, this accomplishment is threatened by the Likud position. Israel did not exactly establish a miracle of war as rockets rained down on Israeli towns in the last war. I would say that the country must find other ways than military in order to preserve her security. War doesn't seem to be the magic answer anymore as it appeared to be in 1967.

As far as Likud and 9/11 is concerned, we know that PNAC had on their official website the desire for a Pearl Harbor type event to propel us into the middle east. That desire was posted a full year before 9/11. They got what they wanted didn't they? The question remains if they were involved in facilitating 9/11 and if the Likud assisted. I believe that there is an avalanche of evidence that PNAC personnel facilitated 9/11. And there is some evidence that those who were predisposed to support Likud were also involved, like Larry Silverstein, owner of WTC. He did say, and it was caught on tape, that WTC7 was "pulled".

As far as officials of Israel herself being involved in 9/11, I have no proof. I am NOT accusing Israel of involvement in 9/11 without having absolute proof. If anyone else does have proof post that in the comments below and we can research it.

Clearly American sovereighty is under massive attack. We are being attacked on two fronts. First we are being attacked by the banks, the international bankers, who have held the treasury of the United States hostage. Clearly we have abdicated the power to even nationalize the international banks who do business on our shores, including those located in the US. By not being able to nationalize them, clean them up and put them out into the private sector, we have risk of an economic meltdown as toxic debt overwhelms the banks, or we have to pay taxpayer money in excess without any bondholder haircuts or shared pain.

The second assault on American sovereignty comes from the Chuck Schumer types as they cannot tolerate even another view regarding America and Israel. What these bought-and-paid-for-people don't realize is that Israel did not do so well in the last war. They won, but never had rockets rained down with such regularity upon the Israeli nation, ever!

The alternative view is not one that says that Israel is no longer an ally or no longer a nation worthy of the protection of the United States. The alternative view is simply that America must be in charge of the process if it is our aid that is being given, and that peace is in the national interest of Israel!

My personal view is that Israel must make progress, real progress toward a peace with the palestinians or else there will be more and more parity in the region regarding power. It no longer is like the 1967 war where Israel truly looked unstoppable. Israel does not have the resources to overcome the oil riches of the middle east. It is just not practical for Israel to do anything but make peace with the Palestinians, and in that American sovereignty can be maintained. We must require the peace process to continue for the security of Israel herself

The truth is, it is expensive to support Israel without any real return, that is, peace in the region. There is a mutually beneficial solution to the US and Israeli stress, and that is peace in the middle east, not a covering up of honest debate that we see in the anti American behavior of Chuck Schumer. Chuck are you an American? Do you care about American sovereignty? I doubt it very much. Thing is Chuck, you are destabilizing Israel by taking the Likud line.
