UncleSamZionismIn the last 125 years, Zionism has enjoyed what I would call ‘a golden age’. They had a plan. They had the finances. They had the cunning. They had brute force and they were not bashful about using it. A group of Atheists looking for a destination to put down roots focused initially on Patagonia in Argentina and then, cynically employing God and the bible, they settled on Palestine. And if you think that their ambitions will stop at the borders of Palestine or the Middle East think again. They are like a venomous octopus with far-reaching, poisonous tentacles wrapped around every country in the world. In this post I am going to concentrate on one country in particular, the United States of America, the most powerful, malevolent power known to man.

If you think this is a fantasy or a conspiracy theory please indulge me and look at what has become of the land of the free and the home of the brave since World War II. Zionist money, Zionist propaganda, Zionist media and Zionist cajoling and bribery has made America from being the most admired and respected country to the most hated on the face of the earth.

The Zionists used American power, American money, American technology and American diplomatic and political clout to their advantage. No American politician has a hope of occupying a seat in the houses of Congress or even The White House without paying homage and praying at the alter of Zionism. Their ultimate success was the planting of Israel in our midst and using America mercilessly to advance their ambition and avarice.

Israel has been conquering and absorbing lands courtesy of the United States of America for the last 66 years. I am reminded of that infamous quote of Moshe Dayan, back in the sixties, when he said, “Our American friends give us arms, give us money and give us advice. We take the arms, we take the money and we ignore their advice.”

What they also ignore is the well being of America and Americans while pretending to be their special friend, mouthing allegiance and surreptitiously causing damage on America and her people. Yet not a word will be found in any of the American media or in political circles in Washington that might criticize, let along condemn the excesses of Israel.

Do you remember the deliberate attack by the Israeli Air force on the USS Liberty? They attacked it, they killed over 40 American sailors and they sank the ship, while trying to blame it on Egypt. And what does the American administration of the time do? They go out of their way to cover it up. Again, the incident – no, the war crime – was, on the whole, ignored by the American media and were it not for a recent documentary on Al Jazeera none of us would have heard of it.

The Israeli Mossad spied extensively on America. They stole American technology and nuclear material and they got away with it, Scot-free.

One major incident was too embarrassing even for the compliant American administration to cover up and that was the theft of classified information by Israeli spy and dual American/Israeli national, Jonathan Jay Pollard in 1987. Of course Israel vigourously denied that Pollard was their agent and only admitted it 10 years later in1998.

Israel continues to snub and humiliate America, abusing the ‘special relationship’. Could even Freud find a plausible explanation of why the more Israel bites at the hand that feeds it the more America mollycoddles it and panders to its whims? Could it be because in the words of Ariel Sharon, “We Jews own America – and the Americans know it.” ?

Which brings me to the present day. This last Friday a group of heavily armed, illegal squatters in the West Bank attacked and humiliated the Convoy of the American Consul while he was on his way to investigate the uprooting of olive saplings and destruction of property in a village in the West Bank. Did you read anything about it in the American Press? Did you hear any condemnation from an American politician? No? Now you’ve got the message.

Isn’t it about time that this wicked ‘golden age’ was stripped of its false veneer and revealed to be the tin God that it really is?

To the American people, this is a personal plea from me. Your tax money, your armed forces and your government have, for far too long, been in the employ of a foreign power. It is now incumbent upon you to steer your once great country back on the right side of history.

Jafar M Ramini is a Palestinian writer, commentator and analyst on Middle Eastern affairs living in London.

He was born in Jenin, northern Palestine, was educated in England and spent the early years of his working life in the Arabian Gulf and Saudi Arabia. He has traveled far and wide, searching for the answer to a question that still eludes him.

Why does the United States of America support the Zionist line in such a blind folded way while ignoring the legitimate rights of the indigenous Palestinian people? Particularly as the Palestinian people harbour no ill feelings towards America and its people nor has ever caused them any harm. It is, Jafar says, a conundrum.

    Seriously, for such an educated person, why dont you start looking along the line of “why are all Islam states failed states” instead of keep hounding on the Jews? Like what an ex-muslim said “you have been poisoned too deep by Islam”. And seriously, have you even read Hadis Al-Bukhrary and the ‘deeds’ Muhammad had done? You have a good brain, so have you ever not felt slightly disoriented when you wrote articles like this – blaming others & everyone for the plight of what is happening in your own community? I stay in Southeast Asia & guess what? The Muslims here are the poorest & most unproductive of all others. And guess who they blame for it? Well, US & Jew are too far away, so they blame it on Chinese & Indians. Can I enlightened you why you guys are always thinking along this line? Well, I am pretty sure you heard of enemies of Islam? Everybody is an enemy of Islam, so its very easy to just blame others for it. Which other religion now teaches & brain-washed people using such concept? Concept that instead of uniting people, further discriminates everyone. Have you heard of Catholics publisizing ‘enemies of Christ’? Or perhaps Buddhist shouting “foes of Buddha”? Wake up man…..you are smart enough to be shown the light.
