Foreign Policy of Egypt (Part-3)
USA-Israel Agenda in Egypt
It is an international crime against humanity that when people are sacrificing their lives in Egypt for a better regime against oppression, corruption and frauds, USA and Israel are busy selecting their candidates for leading a replacement for Mubarak. This makes mockery of democracy the US-Israeli regimes allegedly claim as their fundamentals. Who are they to decide as to who should be Egypt's next president?
Big criminals, like Israelis and NATO terrorists, do quietly pursue plans to somehow survive and Israel is doing exactly that by begging all western powers and eastern arms customers. Many recent developments have restricted the Israeli clout in the world and its influence in Mideast. Ill-fated President Mubarak has had a complicated relationship with the Palestinians, especially since Hamas and Fatah parted ways and Gaza fell under Hamas rule in 2007. Cairo has mostly cooperated with Israel’s embargo of Gaza to the chagrin of Hamas, an offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood opposition group, but allows goods to pass illegally through tunnels under their joint border. Towards Fatah, Mubarak has served as a friend, but has earned the wrath of many ordinary West Bank Palestinians for being too close to Israel and for being complicit in Israel’s Gaza embargo.
The main reason the US supports Israeli fascism unconditionally is because more than any other country in the region USA shares some important values. Today, both USA and Israel are anti-Islamic. USA shares with Israel all negative values such as state terror techniques, crime and cruelty, terror attacks on Muslim nations, genocides of Muslims on fabricated pretexts. Israel thinks USA or UK or entire NATO occupying Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan is no different from Israel in terror attacks. What has been missing in US-Israeli ties obviously is a respect for human rights and adoration for democracy, both talk fake about these high concepts without comprehending the meaning of them.
Over the past month, the Arab world has seen the ousting of Tunisia's president and widespread protests across Egypt, Yemen, and other Arab countries. All have been largely spearheaded by the countries' youth and fueled by social media and television, but supported broadly by the middle class. Caught off-guard, the Obama administration is trying to adapt to these events by urging reforms, but the priority of the administration--reaching an Israeli-Palestinian accord.
The crisis in Egypt is seen as a disaster for Israel, Israel fears that the unrest in Egypt could spread to Jordan. Both countries have pro-Western regimes that support Israel, but the revolution would lead to anti-Israeli sentiments of populations that would like to see these treaties revoked as soon as possible. Israel fears the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Hamas once emerged, and it believes that the border with Gaza will be harder to control without Egyptian cooperation. Israel does not criticize the Mubarak regime for having its security forces fire at the protesters, but rather the Americans for their disloyalty. This is true face of double- Zionism.
Mubarak regime sent troops to occupy the Sinai. It seems Israel refused two Egyptian requests to put more troops in the Sinai as anti-government protests hit Cairo and other cities. But Israel has let the troops occupy the Sinai. A second Egyptian request came days after Jerusalem permitted Cairo to deploy two battalions in the Sharm-el-Sheik region and around Rafah near the Gaza Strip. Israel is urging the international community to ensure the peace treaty with Egypt is maintained in the event of a regime change, as Tel-Aviv could not allow a complete breach of the treaty, which calls for a demilitarized zone in the Sinai Peninsula.
If Vienna returned Mohammed ElBaradei does not become the successor of Mubarak, then, USA would support Mubarak’s choice the Vice-president Omar Suleiman to be the next Egyptian ruler. Omar Suleiman, the man chosen by USA to take control of the government in the transitional phase is Mubarak’s handpicked vice president who is even more of a thug than Mubarak and could not be trusted to follow through on reforms and "the most successful element of the relationship” between the US and Egyptian intelligence agencies. Suleiman, the next brutal dictator in waiting, is the former head of Egypt’s spy agency, an alleged “CIA point man” and who supervised Egypt’s rendition program whereby “terror suspect” produced by the CIA/Interpol were taken to Egypt for extraordinary interrogation sessions. Only a weak leader can be purchased by US democrats in uniforms to fall in line behind the so-called “War on Terror”- in fact an anti-Islamic war, supported even by some rogue Muslim states like Egypt.
The former head of Egypt security services and chief torturer, Suleiman has been heading the negotiations with opposition groups on behalf of the Mubarak regime, and has the backing of both Israel and the Obama administration to lead a “transition” regime that would maintain the pro-US military dictatorship if Mubarak steps down or flees the country. The CIA has a strong and growing relationship with the Egyptian Intelligence Service (EGIS). The Interior Minister has since been sacked, and now faces charges of authorizing torture of prisoners. He is the scapegoat for crimes in which all of the above-named officials, particularly Suleiman, are directly implicated.
On the Egyptian crisis it does seem the USA and Israel do have fixed common values, but unfortunately not positive ones. Both try to save Mubarak and his dictatorial regime staying in power on stolen elections by intimidation and fraudulent vote counting. Mubarak’s 30 year reign in Cairo has been a dictatorship. But Israel, who allegedly cherishes democracy, not only would like to see Mubarak remain in power in Egypt, at least by placing his agents at the helm of affairs, but is leading the foreign efforts to make it happen. Mubarak is a brutal dictator to Egyptians, but he has been a loyal friend to Israel. Israeli leadership sent an urgent message to its allies encouraging them to save the Mubarak regime, which brutally squashed dissent, when it appeared the former UN employee ElB might replace Mubarak which Mossad nuts think would be disastrous for Tel Aviv. While talking about democracy, Israel supported the Mubarak’s anti-democratic, anti-human rights measures.
Like the Western concern, Israel desires a pro-Zionist government to replace Mubarak regime in Egypt, if Mubarak must quit. Israeli worry is that as an Islamic state Egypt would upset all Zionist calculations in the region. They cite the example of Islamic Iran opposing Zionist crimes in Palestine. In Iran, mass protests against the Western-backed shah erupted in January 1978 and he was forced out a year later, leaving a power vacuum that was grasped by the exiled Ayatollah Khomeini who returned to set up the Islamic Republic. Israel tired all tricks to destabilize Iran but failed. Ever since, the Islamic Iran has been treated by fascist Israel as its most virulent enemy and with the backing from USA-UK terror twins (that are also the veto wielding UNSC members) it pursues anti-Islamic agenda in the region.
Israel is keen if at all any change in Egypt should promote Israeli interests in the region and should never promote Palestinian struggle. Mubarak's alliance partner, B. Netanyahu, the terror PM of fascist Israel, supposedly the “only democracy in the Middle East”, seems to be distancing himself from the beleaguered Egyptian president now.
Projecting Iran as the key enemy of all Muslim nations, including Egypt, America believes in loud rhetoric, when it comes to democracy. Obviously, USA is not working towards a solution anywhere in the world that is good for them, but seeks it only to advance its own interests. Washington wants every nation on the earth to be pro-USA and work for US interest. If a nation is not USA, it is automatically branded as anti-US and dealt with accordingly. That is US brand of democracy. Similar ideology brings an illegal entity Israel closer to USA. US president Obama seems to be willingly dropping the big chance to actually bring promised “change” to US foreign policy by making the demonstrators choose their own legal leader to replace Mubarak. CIA would not permit a regime change if that does not promote US interests. And that constitutes the shame of US foreign policy.
