The United States of America is run by the leader of the Christian Religious Right, George W. Bush and his dad George H.W. Bush. In March 2003 they invaded Iraq because they said that 1) Saddam Hussein was in league with Al Qaeda, 2) Saddam Hussein had blown up the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and 3) next Saddam Hussein was about to blow up the United States with his vast arsenal of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical weapons of mass destruction. He said, 4) “Don’t worry we’ll use the Iraqi oil to pay for the war.” The Bushes are followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said, “I am the Truth and the Life and the Way.” 1,2,3, and 4 above have turned out to be obvious lies. Prior to the Iraq war, Ambassador Joseph Wilson had tried to blow the whistle on these lies. To get him killed, Karl Rove, President Bush’s strongman tried to get Joe and his wife Valerie killed by telling Robert Novak that Valerie Plame was a U.S. spy, and to go ahead and print it. President Bush said, 5) “If anyone in the White House leaks classified information I will fire him or her immediately.”

“There is no such thing as Palestinians; they never existed” was the haughty proclamation of former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, the ‘Iron Lady’ of Israeli politics. From its founding days, the State of Israel has continued to display the same colonialist haughtiness towards the people of Palestine. For decades, this fundamental arrogant attitude of Israel has been duly approved and legitimized by the Western power houses. Israel has been bestowed with satiated military and diplomatic support by them, particularly by America, to secure political and economic objectives in the Middle East. Two vital aspects have blurred the true nature of the Palestine-Israel conflict. Firstly, the Zionist claim based on mythical and religious grounds for a Jewish State in Palestine land has received a longstanding moral support from the West. Secondly, the western world has sought to assuage its guilt over the Nazi genocide of Jews by supporting this ludicrous demand of the Zionists. The West always had great sympathies for Israel, for the ‘difficulties’ Israel is facing from the ‘violent and fanatic’ people of Palestine. If Israel gives up even an inch of the occupied territories, it is viewed as an enormous sacrifice by the Zionist lobbying groups in America and Western mainstream media. But the enormous sacrifices of the Palestinian people get far lesser attention and sympathy. The disparity between Israeli and Palestinian political, economic and military strength is also not considered in its proper context while evaluating the ongoing conflict between the two. By some trick of hypocritical logic, the international community has recognized Israel’s illegal confiscation of Palestinian land and the ethnic cleansing of indigenous Arabs. Since the creation of Israel, there has been no peace in the Middle East. Palestine stands out as the most persuasive symbol of human trauma today.

I think Israel is the only one in the world that can play the same game, the Arabs play, and of course they don’t like that. Let me explain. They yell to the world (the UN, or the USA, or the EU) of the (most recently: Gaza City war) unfairness of Israel, in attacking them, here and there. They always forget to say their snipers are hiding behind women, or in a mosque, or a church, shooting back, and in most cases were shooting long before they found their haven. You see, the unfairness comes when the shooting back comes, or when the Israelis are starting to win a battle or war: so it is made to look onto the world. Of course, the PLO, Palestine, has a concept, or theory for their fighters: no rules barred, only rule for the other side.

It is a highly relevant question and it is a question which spiritual leaders need to address.

Israel and Hamas – the Islamist group that presently reins over Gaza – seem to be going along with an unspoken agreement to hold fire in and around the Gaza Strip, but will this end? The Lull is a deception, a period in which they can gather more weapons, regroup, and be ready to kill more Jews. I realize Palestinians are dying, but this is a cause, self sacrifice, they already know this; just as they know they can have peace at anytime, but this war, ongoing war is not about peace, it is about eradication, pushing all the Jews out of Israel (taking over Jerusalem), and/or the Middle East.
