New Year Donation Drive: Global Research Is Committed to the “Unspoken Truth”
***
The current dominant system or American establishment would use the invisible dictatorship of compulsive consumerism of material goods to nullify the ideals of the primal individual and transform him into an uncritical being, fearful and conformist who will inevitably join the ranks of a homogeneous society, uniform and easily manipulated by the techniques of mass manipulation and would have as a pillar of its political system the successive alternation in power of the Democratic Party and the Republican (both fagocitados by the Jewish lobby).
Thus, in a speech delivered at the New York meeting of the World Jewish Congress of 1916, the then Vice President of Obama, Joe Biden stated:
“I am a Zionist, but for this it is not necessary to be a Jew”,
after which he was granted the “Theodor Herzl” Award and became the new capped AIPAC.
Do the US and Israel Share the Same Geopolitical Interests?
Kennedy’s assassination had as collateral damage the birth of a political system under the tutelage of the “Power in the Shadow”, being since then hostages all successive US Presidents-elect according to the confession made by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to then Foreign Minister Shimon Peres in October 2001:
“We, the Jewish people, control the United States and the Americans know”, (“The Israeli Lobby and American Foreign Policy” by John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt, 07-04-2006), for which they would serve as lobbies of pressure among which the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) would stand out.
So, the U.S. would count on Israel to keep the Arab States of the Middle East under constant threat of attack and ensure the flow of Arab oil necessary for the West and Israel could not continue to exist in its current form without the strong political and material support it receives from EE.UU. ( about $3.8 billion per year in military aid) that would have made him the US continental carrier. However, Netanyahu’s geopolitical myopia prevented him from intuiting that a new asymmetric punishment in Gaza would destroy the entente between the US, Israel, Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, Morocco and Saudi Arabia, which would collide with US geopolitical objectives of isolating Iran.
These Arab countries signed under the Presidency of Trump the Abraham Accords in which for the first time countries such as the Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco recognized the existence of the State of Israel and Saudi Arabia was about to sign them, But the massacre committed by the Jewish army in Gaza could cause those countries to reject these agreements and break diplomatic relations with an Israel that would again be isolated in the Middle East.
The Decision of the International Tribunal of the Hague Is a Triumph for Netanyahu?
The newspaper Haaretz in an editorial of October 8 directly accused Netanyahu of being “responsible for this war between Israel and Gaza” and also, Israeli public opinion would already be holding Netanyahu responsible for the resounding failure of Israeli security by disparaging Egyptian information. Thus, according to Egyptian sources, 10 days earlier they allegedly warned Netanyahu that Hamas was preparing a major offensive against Israel, which was denied by Netanyahu in a tweet accusing the intelligence services of negligence, getting in the way of enmity with the powerful services of the Israeli Mossad.
Moreover, Netanyahu would already be cornered by the international community’s condemnation of the flagrant violation of human rights in Gaza with nearly 30000 Palestinian civilian victims that has resulted in the presentation by South Africa to the International Tribunal in the Hague (ICC)of a lawsuit against Israel for alleged “crime of genocide”. The verdict of that Court could have forced Netanyahu to stop the invasion of Gaza and to decree a permanent ceasefire, the release of the hostages held by Hamas and the entry into Gaza of urgent humanitarian aid in the form of food, fuel and medical supplies, but the Solomonic decision of the International Tribunal in The Hague will lead to the continuation of the Israeli military invasion in Gaza until its total destruction.
However, there would be growing disaffection towards his Government from Israeli society, which cannot forgive the security failures in the Israeli Defence that would have led to the killing of 1400 Israelis and the kidnapping of 220 people by Hamas. Thus, according to a survey by The Jerusalem Post, 80% of those polled say that “the Government is mainly responsible for the infiltration of Palestinian militias” and 56% think that “Netanyahu should resign at the end of the current war”. All this could lead to the resignation of his Government following the invasion of Gaza and the subsequent convening of new elections to facilitate the formation of a Government of Salvation whose primary task will be to try to re-edit the Oslo Accords that allow coexistence peaceful Salvation Government whose primary task will be to try to re-edit the Oslo Accords that allow the peaceful coexistence of two peoples in two states.
