Another step to nowhere
By Gideon Samet (Haaretz (Tel Aviv))
Thursday, June 27, 2002
The only useful thing in President George W. Bush's
useless speech is that now we know which way the dice
in Washington have fallen when it comes to the Middle
East. Those millions of Israelis who are losing hope
for an agreement to end the conflict through political
means now have authorization from the leader of the
West that for a long time to come, there won't be even
the beginning of movement. With this step to nowhere,
essentially he did not quote the Bible with "choose
life," but rather with "be devoured by the sword." It
wasn't by accident, nor did the president hide
anything. That's just the way he perceives American
interests.
Particularly interesting was the drama on the way to
the presidential decision. Secretary of State Colin
Powell, a large number of White House staffers and
most of the leading media in America are also staunch
patriots. And Bush has a clear interest in getting
along with the European Union and the Arab world, so
why did he completely reject the EU approach and why
did he trash the initiative by the main Arab capitals?
Because the president's supreme interest right now is
to get through the Congressional midterm elections in
November, and his re-election two years from now,
without going through the humiliation that a few
thousand more Jewish votes in Florida could prevent.
- Gideon Samet, in Haaretz (Tel Aviv)

Subj: PROTEST ISRAELI OCCUPATION TUESDAY

PROTEST ISRAELI OCCUPATION
When: Tuesday July 2nd
Where: South Capitol Steps (11th and Congress)
Time: 5:30 pm
Austin Divestment Initiative (a newly founded Austin
group) is protesting Israel's re-occupation of the
West
Bank and Bush's latest "vision" speech.
President Bush, once again, blamed the Palestinian
victims for Israel's military occupation and put the
burden on Palestinians to provide security for the
occupying power and security for Israeli citizens - as
Israel re-occupies the West Bank, as the criminal
Sharon seeks to ethnically cleanse Palestine of
Palestinians, as Palestinian institutions are
destroyed, as innocent Palestinians are rounded up,
executed without trial or jury, and as thousands of
Palestinians are confined under curfew.
The President's speech devoid of logic, of fairness,
of
justice, the rule of law and human rights demands that
Palestinians accept subjugation and apartheid. It is
a
travesty that the leader of the Free World cannot
envision freedom for Palestinians. We, the people,
demand that our President stand behind international
law and human rights and call for an immediate end to
the Israeli Military Occupation. Israeli noncompliance
with international law and rejection of UN resolutions
ought not be rewarded by giving in to more Israeli
demands.
We, who fund the occupation, need to send a message to
the White House that we reject US policy towards
Palestinians. If you believe in freedom and liberty
and reject subjugation and oppression, join us as we
raise our voices to protest Bush's supportive policy
of
Sharon's atrocities and Israel's re-occupation of the
West Bank.

| THE US - ZIONIST OCCUPIED TERRITORY
If there was doubt that the United States was at present any
other than Zionist Occupied Territory it was blown away by the
speech that George W. Bush spewed the other day while a tiny
horned Ariel Sharon was perched on his shoulder, trident firmly
against Bush's jugular.
Aiding and abetting the one-sided blather was Bush's favorite press
secretary, pro-Israeli Ari Fleischer, who could not say a critical
word of Sharon if his life depended on it. One wonders who put
Fleischer in that role? Was he chosen by Bush, or was the
president notified that Fleischer would be speaking for him, set in
place by some cabal of pro-Israel forces that seem to be running
this nation according to their own distorted Judaistic standards that
have no relation to the Jewish faith except in name.
The essence of the speech appeared to be that until Yassar Arafat
is removed from the Palestinian government - by resignation,
election loss, or by Israeli murder squad - and until the Palestinians
meet several stringent demands, even while their territory is
occupied by Israeli thugs with American-supplied tanks, jets,
helicopters, and heavy weapons, then there would be no US
brokered peace, and no progress towards a Palestinian State.
Yes, all this to be done while Palestine is occupied by Israeli troops
who are again in their favorite mode of blowing up houses and
buildings, capturing Palestinian men and boys under the
accusations that they may be bombers, or make the bombs. And,
if some Palestinian elders, women, and children are murdered by
tank cannons or machine guns, what the heck! All they have to do
is say it was an "error," and the pro-Israeli media in America dutifully
reports that news and all is well - in their eyes.
But why and how can the Zionists and pro-Israelis in the US get
away with it?
Money, and the power that accompanies money!
Most of the major networks in the United States are controlled by
the pro-Israelis that live in America. They may be American
citizens, but their hearts and loyalties are to the state of Israel. This
is true for the American media, American industry, American
financial centers, and American business in general.
Money, and the power that accompanies money!
The power of the pro-Israeli purse in the election cycles is
something to behold. Despite McCain-Finegold, the pro-Israel
forces in America already have found a way to pour money into pro-
Israel candidates' campaigns, and even if Bush bends to their will in
the middle east, 90% of pro-Israelis will vote for Bush's opponent,
more than likely a democrat liberal.
Money, and the power that accompanies money!
The power of the pro-Israeli purse over US senators and
representatives who will do anything to get elected, or re-elected,
and will sell their souls for the cash to do so is phenomenal. The
Israeli-financed elections of people like Alan Cranston, who
authored bills allowing American arms and treasure to flow in steady
stream to Jerusalem was a despicable event. But it still goes on,
with other senators, other representatives, other Israeli sycophants,
and the laws giving away our taxpayer money to Israel are still on
the books.
The American people elected George W. Bush under the
impression that he would be a strong president, faithful to the
American Republic, fair in his dealings with foreign nations, quick to
help those nations that are friends, quick to retaliate against nations
that have attacked us, and quick to maintain the sovereignty of the
United States, keeping it strong, ready, and able under any
circumstance.
Yet, so far president Bush has not met these simple tests. It
appears that Israel, Jerusalem, and Ariel Sharon is telling Bush and
his administration what to do, when to do it, and to whom.
It is sickening!
The United States is not to be ruled by a two-bit beggar nation no
matter how that nation has its tentacles in our system of
government, our industries, our financial centers, our businesses,
and even in our laws.
If the president truly wants to settle things in the middle east he
should have the strength and fortitude to proclaim the following:
1. Order Ariel Sharon to vacate all Palestinian Territory, and return
to the 1948 boundaries, and vacate all of the settlements built on
Palestinian territory.
2. Notify Sharon if he does not do so, American military force will
move him out.
3. Inform Sharon that all arms and US taxpayer monies to Israel
sans any type of repayment to the US treasury will come to a halt,
that the US will no longer be an Israeli cash cow.
4. Tell Sharon that the United States will immediately recognize a
Palestinian State, bounded by the 1948 original borders.
5. State to Sharon that the Arab or Palestinian right of return will be
negated only if Israel compensates those who had their property
stolen by Israelis, all at present value, to be paid by Israel and not
American taxpayer funds.
If Bush can screw his courage to the sticking point, stiffen his
resolve, firm up his backbone, and proceed like a Lincoln, Teddy
Roosevelt, or Ronald Reagan, there will be peace in the Middle
East, and not merely a lull in the fighting controlled, as it is now, by
the Israelis, aided abetted by the pro-Israelis in the United States.
Bush is the president of the United States, and need not kow tow to
the pipsqueak prime minister of a pipsqueak country, meanwhile
paying for the privilege.
