The Israel rules

America's support of the Gaza attack proves once again that our mythical image of Israel has blinded us to its faults -- a myopia with devastating consequences for both countries.

    Kamiya appears to get it...now if only Israel and WashingtonDC would get it as well...

    If only the quality of scaled balance this Salon piece by G.Kamiya exhibits could be/were to be found within The New York Times and other major American print news media. To be found on major American electronic TV and radio venues from cable news outlets to Clear Channel radio purveyors.

    Gary Kamiya has indeed pulled the strands and fabrics of what is ailing Israel and indeed creating a future Israeli political failure outcome due to run amok Israeli militarism,stupidly conducted Israeli domestic politics,a long,illegal and plainly corrupted and war crimes contaminated Israeli occupation of Palestinian West Bank and Gaza.

    Juan Cole,on Monday Jan.5,2009,had an interesting observation about what has taken place/who is running American State Department and how this is distorting American foreign policy conduct with Israel and on larger global stages. It is worth a read at www.juancole.com--Monday,Jan.5,2009 comments.

    Americans do bear large responsibility for what is befalling Gaza these past days.Americans fund and promote Israeli militarism and what is falling on Gaza is surely American sponsored and approved in ways that only will lead to more 9/11/2001 events coming to American shores.

    WashingtonDC is a very corrupt imperial city infested with a very corrupt political regime that both American political parties--GOP and DEM alike--are fully allowing to remain very badly misguided,governed and bound to very dubious premises.

    Israel needs a better,smarter friend in America.

    America needs a much more moral,ethical and evenly scaled actions taken or not taken Israel.

    The Israel rules--as currently known and practiced--in WashingtonDC and in Israel will bring ruination to Israel and WashingtonDC both on many fronts in many terrible ways.

    Gary Kamiya appears to get it. Many more will have to get it before what is now falling on Gaza can be prevented.

    Gaza right now is a moral,ethical and political disaster for both Israel and WashingtonDC. Not seeing this to be so will doom both Israel and WashingtonDC to greater setbacks,defeats and outcomes of ruination.
