There is one slight problem however. We are about 1.5 billion, so it might take a little time, and if history is any indicator, we don't go away quietly either so if that's the plan, you might want to buckle up for the ride because it sure will be a bumpy one.
If it was up to the Zionists and the neo-cons they would love nothing more than to wipe all the "Moslems", (un)fortunately they don't have the stomach for an all out assault, why you ask? There is a saying "when you are burning down your enemy's house, a tear (from the smoke) is the bare minimum price you have to pay". If Lebanon and Palestine are going to burn (and they are) I assure the civilized world that THERE WILL BE TEARS IN THE EYES OF ISRAELI CITIZENS AS WELL (and there are). It's not a threat, just a mere observation as a student of history.
Israel is a Fat kid of the class, who doesn't get along with anybody, nobody likes him because he is insecure, bullish, rude and obnoxious. No doubt it has power to subdue other kids because of its girth, thanks to mother USA which keeps feeding this mammoth. This is not what the Dr. would order but mother USA just can't help it.
As I write this article, upwards of about 400 innocent civilians have lost their lives, thousands more have been brutally injured and millions have been displaced from their homes just in last 2 weeks in Lebanon. Furthermore 4000 innocent civilians in Palestine have been killed by Israeli establishment in the name of safeguarding security just in the last 5 years or so. All with the help of bombs & ammunition gifted to Israel by USA. According to NY Times, USA made an expedited shipment of satellite and laser-guided bombs to Israel just to make sure that the FAT KIDD is able to compensate its insecurities by inflicting havoc on the feeble. And then we wonder, "Why do they hate us, It must be our democracy that they don't like!". Ahh NO! It's your bombs falling on their heads and killing their children. That is kind of pissing them off!
I am startled at the civilized world and their numbness. Small children are literally being blown up in pieces and we are standing idly, going about our lives like its not human beings that are being blown-up in fragments but insignificant animals. Even if they are considered animals at least PETA should protest. But then again like all major groups in USA I am sure they have sold their sole to the Zionist lobby as well. What can we do? At least scream for the love of GOD, so we know that you are alive. See this is why you see people cheering in Palestine when terrorist strike in western countries. Because when there houses and kids are being ravaged by the Israelis, we in the west are either sitting like lifeless mimes or we are defending the oppressor with same old rhetoric. If you oppose indiscriminate killing of civilians when a suicide bomber blows himself in the market place (and we must) then how can you not oppose a state who has been dropping bombs on innocent civilians, hospitals, bridges, animal farms, dry-milk factories and food-convoys. At least those kids and misguided youth that cheer the terrorist acts are illiterate, misguided, and brain-washed & confused, what's our excuse?
Fact of the matter is that by and large Palestinians have accepted this bitter truth that Israel is a reality and they are willing to exist as 2 separate nations. The problem comes when Israel's insecurity forces them to dictate their will and they are not willing to move an inch from their illogical and baseless stance. The Middle East crisis can only resolve if the USA and the European Union can some how bring Israel on table with the real Palestinian leadership. This obtuse argument that Israelis won't sit on table with Hamas holds no merit at all, because you try to settle issues politically with your foes not with your friends. Hamas is fighting occupation and they are supporters of terrorism no more than Israel itself. This is as stupid as a notion can get that some how carnage is accepted from human beings in uniform but not from people in plain clothes. What is this? I feel like we are living in twilight zone! Whether a brutality is committed by an organized army or a guerilla force it should be equally reprehensible, how can they be judged by 2 different set of rules?
San-Francisco chronicle reports that the plans to attack Lebanon were in works ever since year 2000 when Israel was forced to retreat from Lebanon. They quote an Israeli Army officer who had been giving presentations in recent times to American and European officials. Detailed road-map as to how Israel plans on invading Lebanon just so they can annihilate Hezbollah's presence in the region. Israel was a signatory to a pact that forbade both Hezbollah and Israel from attacking civilians, there was no protection given in this pact to combatants. Israel's disproportionate response at the civilian population to the capture of its soldiers has once again brought to light the utter disregard Israel has for UN's resolutions and civilized norms. I have said it many a times; democracy is not a magic wand that solves all ills. If your country's majority is bigoted then even thru democratic process your leadership will obviously be bigoted as well. When you have democratically elected bigots and war-criminals like Sharon, then as a society you have no reason to be proud of your democracy. Israelis by & large are full of animosity, hatred, insecurity and suffers from psychological trauma of holocaust that happened some 60 years ago by the way not at the hands of Muslims but by Christians. I am sorry, we can sympathize with them but we can't let them create devastation all over the world like a crazy bull just so they can feel better by seeing others in misery. This is a little psychotic, not to mention scary. We are talking about a country that has an arsenal of nuclear stock-piles and a history of war-crimes (see Sabira & Shatila), this is a ticking time-bomb and the world needs to take a notice of this before it's too late.
It's useless and quite frankly waste of time & energy to talk about Muslim Rulers. They seem to outdo themselves when it comes to incompetence and impotence. The worthless king of Jordan, useless president of Egypt and futile king of Saudi Arabia have actually condemned Hezbollah for kidnapping the soldiers. Could there be a bigger disconnect between the rulers & the masses? I am personally of the opinion that at this point in time Palestinians and Lebanese people should avoid confrontation as much as humanly and gracefully possible, gracefully being the keyword here. It's in the interest of all parties to resolve this mess politically rather than militarily, that goes without saying. But for these kings to actually take the side of the Goliath when you are actually related to Samson is deplorable. But then again these kings are not even related to their kin, its no secret how real brothers and fathers have been killed in Arab countries for throne, absolutely pathetic!
It's no hidden secret that American establishment doesn't even shy away from making decisions that are against the interest of America as long as it benefits Israel. They don't really have a choice, the Zionist lobby can literally blow you away from the scene and your political career will be immediately over if you even hint to go against the vested interest of this Godzilla. And it doesn't even matter who you are. Who could be bigger in Washington then the president himself? Clinton learned the hard way that the Zionist lobby is even stronger and more influential than the president himself. Extra-marital affairs are immoral, dissipated and rakish. But was Clinton the first or the only man in America who was involved in one? 2 out of 3 marriages in America are broken because of illicit relationships of spouses. So forgive me for thinking that this Lewinsky issue was blown way out of proportion. Clinton's crime was that he gave both Israel & Palestine ultimatum to resolve this crisis once and for all and the pact that was almost signed was as fair as it could have gotten. But the Zionist don't want a fair deal, they want to suffocate the Palestinians. They want to make sure that the geography of Palestine is such that will keep Palestinians in despair forever. They want to control the ports, the entry points in to Palestine; they want anything and everything that will ensure that Palestinians will be economically devastated in future. The only fair settlement is for the Israelis to go back to the pre-1967 positions. This is what Clinton insisted upon, Palestinians are not overly enthuse about this deal either because they are still getting ripped off big time but they'll take it. Clinton paid for this insistence with impeachment, this also served as a lesson to all future presidents that if you deviate from the line of Zionist lobby in Washington then you will be humiliated.
Americans need to make a decision at this juncture. Who should be the benefactor of American foreign policy? Should it be America? Or are we an occupied territory of Israel and therefore should make decisions that benefit the master? Anti-Americanism is at all-time high in not just the Muslim-World but everywhere. According to Gallup survey 90-95% world citizens that ranged from North Africa to Southeast Asia said that they did not believe the U.S. is trustworthy, friendly, or treats other countries respectfully nor that it cares about human rights in other countries. Nothing to write home about.
I said it in the beginning of this article that if the majority of the Americans are of the opinion that all 1.5 billion Muslims should be wiped out from the face of this earth than they need to come out and say it out loud. This is exactly what Osama Bin Laden has been telling us, I am certain that he is wrong. We need to prove him and the others like him wrong by not taking the side of the oppressor. We need to be balanced in our approach. We are not right now. Our foreign policy is way lop-sided in favor of Israel and its hurting our interest and our credibility as champions of democracy and human-rights all over the world. I support the right of Israel to exist, but it has to exist peacefully. Israel is drunk with power right now and America is the careless bartender, so when Israel runs over innocent by-standers we are rightfully blamed. The stakes are much higher for us. We have always been a nation who supports the under-dog. If we can't support the under-dog, least we can do is be an honest referee. Because nobody likes a rigged game.
