IS THIS DANGEROUS?

UN VOTES TO ADMIT 'PALESTINE' Campaign to Deny Jewish People Historic Link to Land of Israel Continues Unabated November 29, 2012

"Today's vote in the UN has nothing to do with reality. Peace in the Middle East will only come when the Palestinians sit down with the Israelis and negotiate. There is no other way to achieve peace in the Middle East." — Rabbi Marvin Hier  Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has once again shown he never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity for peace. Instead of pursuing direct negotiations with Israel for a Two-State solution, and in violation of the 1993 Oslo Accords, Abbas unilaterally pressed the UN General Assembly to upgrade Palestine to a Non Member Observer State.  Today, he got his wish and continues the insidious campaign to erase a deep and abiding truth: the Jewish people have a profound history in the Holy Land dating back over 3,500 years. Abbas himself recently declared, “[The Jews] claim that 2,000 years ago they had a Temple. I challenge the claim that this is so.” This slander echoes, the lies spread by official Palestinian TV which, according to Palestinian Media Watch recently aired an interview stating, "No trace of Jewish history in 'our land' … Temple exists on the minds of radical organizations."  Tragically, the NGO world and most world leaders, including many churches have not uttered a word as Palestinian propaganda infers that the prophetic writings of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel – revered by Jews and Christians alike – were never uttered in the Holy Land.And this is what today has become the new ‘Big Lie’ - that the Jewish people are intruders in their own land. Nothing new here.  Between legitimate concern and support for the Palestinian People, and the mountainous overt anti-(Jewish) Semitism in the rest of the world, lies a major reason for the long functioning conflict. In keeping the flames of conflict burning between Israel, the Jewish People, and the rest of the Arab and Islamic world of a billion people, the power elites will be assured of continuous warfare, murder, and destruction, all huge money-makers. Is this serious?  YES IT IS!.  Israel has fought five major wars, excluding the recent Gaza strike. As you may be aware, it IS mostly Arab blood that pours out in these confrontations.  And it is a major source of weaponry-testing and destruction that is so happily achieved. And, it is also the weapon used by the power elites in the Arab World that enables them to remain in power.  The so called "Arab Spring" has been a fight over power. And when the dust settles and the targets have been adequately hammered, the old or the new power elites will return to the conflicts with Israel. What else do you want to know?  My children are safe.  Their children are mostly safe.  It is my great-grandchildren who are no longer safe.  It is they who will bear the burden of defending Israel.  Their precious blood will be spilled and mixed with the non-precious blood of the young Arab victims and the young Islamic victims of the world of Islam. The white-bearded Imams will nod appreciatively at their martyrs and the Jews will cry out in mourning their beloved children, who will be buried in the identical earth as the "martyrs." YES! IT IS DANGEROUS!

THE IRANIAN WAR

The real question for those in power, those with wealth, those with ownership of the machines of war, those who benefit from war, is: "How do we get this Iranian war started?"

Obviously, we prefer a non-atomic war.  But if that is the only choice, if that is the only choice we have, well then, how do we get it started? Let's think this through.

Russia and China have stymied any potentially effective way to stop or slow down Iran from developing an atomic weapons.  A reasonable presumption can be made that those two countries believe they will not benefit from the impending use by Iran of its atomic capability, to the same extent as the Western countries, if it is slowed down or stopped in its rush to produce such capability.  How do you figure that?

Right now, Russia and China are the main beneficiaries of that "rush" by virtue of being suppliers of technology and raw materials to Iran to build the bomb. They will automatically be called on to defend Iran if attacked by Western nations and Israel. Those nations can wipe out Iran's capability and end the current supply chain.  They can also attack Russian and Chinese responses to Iranian material and usage capability - to enormous Western/American profit generated by such an attack. The greater the destruction, in any direction, the greater the profit.

Nothing is unknown here, except for one element..  All the parties know how, what, how much, where, and when, a war could be started and even how it can be sustained. No party knows when the war will end. It is also true that no party knows what the extent of the carnage will be.  But that question is irrelevant. Great and bloody slaughter alone is not measurable in dollars.  Therefore, its measurement is irrelevant.  Now medical supplies and equipment used in war is measurable.  But, since it is measured in profit for both sides, and the profit is relatively small when compared with the machines of war and destruction, as with destroyed flesh, its measurement is inconsequential.

Republican presidential candidates are calling for war with Iran.  They are being supported by huge contributions from those people and companies that will benefit directly from apocalypse now.  Obama is cast as cowardly, uncaring for Israel, weak in dealing with Iran, even un-American for not threatening Iran strongly enough( to prepare the American People for their next big war.

The American People must now do their patriotic duty again by calculating the dollar value of their sons and daughters, called into combat, never to return from the slot-machines of war.
