Compatibility of Zionism and Peace in the Middle East

The United States was the first country to recognize Israel and has been supporting it since the very first day of its independence in 1948 [1]. The US backed the United Nations mandate for a Jewish homeland in Palestine [2] and has sold weapons to Israel during wars with its Arab neighbors. But the US support of Israel has never helped bring peace in the Middle East.

The creation of the Jewish State has started the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Israelis, or the Jews who migrated to the new State of Israel, were not very welcome in the Muslim World. The fact that the land has been taken from the Palestinians [3] sparked the first Arab-Israeli War in 1948. After numerous wars, including the first Arab-Israeli War and the Six-Day War, the Israeli land has grown; Israel has “annexed” the lands occupied after wars, refusing to return them [4] and stating that “the war will give us the land. The concepts of ‘ours’ and ‘not ours’ are only concepts for peacetime, and during war they lose all their meaning.” [5] The Zionists completely refuse to exchange the occupied land for peace. It is also believed that many Arabs, especially the Palestinians, who believe the Jews took their land, have sworn to drive Israel into the sea. If that case is true, however, exchanging “land for peace” does not seem to be a good option.

The Arab-Israeli conflict continues even today, after almost 60 years. The US support of Israel continues, while the UN, whose resolutions solve nothing, seems to be useless. The most recent war in 2006 has again shown the power of Israel’s military y. Although more Lebanese civilians have suffered [6], the war was officially fought between Israel and Hezbollah, or the Shia Islamic political and parliamentary organization, officially labeled as a “terrorist organization” in six countries, including the United Kingdom, United States and Israel [7]. By the end of the 2006 Lebanon War, after the UN resolution called for cease-fire, Israel has attacked a group that was transporting weapons from Syria[8], breaking the UN peace resolution. George Galloway, a Scottish politician, at that time said:

“America has given Israel missiles that can target not only every city in Lebanon, but every city in the Arab and Muslim World, including Iran. Why should America be allowed to give long-range missiles to Israel, including hundreds of nuclear missiles…?” [9]

Israel receives more aid from the US than any other country in the world. According to BBC News, “Israel receives billions of dollars from the US no matter what it does.” [10] Thus, it perhaps has the most advanced military in the Middle East. Israel also has its own Weapons of Mass Destruction. [11]

A Quote from ‘The Fast and the Furious’

From The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

For want of a nail, the horseshoe was lost. For want of a horseshoe, the steed was lost. For want of a steed, the message was not delivered. For want of an undelivered message, the war was lost.

Ron Paul: Patriotism

I meet many people who are against the War in Iraq, but they do not even know who Ron Paul is, but they do know Rudy Guiliani. This man needs to be listened to. “No one person can do everything, but everybody can do something” (I.T.) – If you are against the war, you at least need to tell people you know about Ron Paul; he speaks the truth and he’s going to get us out of war.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God” (Matthew 5:9)

A “Have Your Say” Comment

A quote from “US presidential debates: Will you be watching?” on the BBC website:

Does it really matter? The country will remain in the hands of big business and interest groups regardless of who sits in the White House.
The same wars will be fought for the interest of business. The same bullying tactics will be used against all countries in the Middle East that don’t submit to the will of Israel.
Dubya has made this quite clear. He isn’t a policy maker, he can barely put two words together, never mind a policy. The front man may change but the outfit stays the same. (Tony Croft)

Quotes / Lyrics

Eminem (Dirty):

* Yo yesterday, I seen this girl from around the way, and she had nice titties and ass, and I said “damn I can’t let you pass!”. So I walked up to her and said “miss, can I give your asshole a kiss?” – she said yes, she said no, then she said yes but spanked me slow. So I did. Then the next thing you know she said “here’s my number, hola at the kid” i said “hola at the kid? I don’t understand!” – holy shit, the damn chick was a man.
