Ah….I can hear the Righteous Brothers wailing along as I type……and I can still feel that tingle running up my leg as a dance with Amy “Gypsy” Rosseau……the year is 1965……I had better stop there…..soon there will be TMI.
Since the formation of the state of Israel in 1948 America has had that “special feeling” toward Israel……first because of the run up after World War 2 and the suffering the Jews had endured……then there was the Cold War and the USSR was making great headway with the Arab nations in the Middle East…the US needed a “friend” to try and counter any progress made by the Soviets……..and then money became a big part of our election process and Israel made sure to win friends by passing it around like peanut butter…..do you realize that about 2/3 of the Congress is financed by Israel in one way or another?
Every president since Truman has had that “special feeling” for Israel although their motivations were somewhat different……then along came Obama and his opponents want to make it look like he has NO love for Israel…….read all about it here…….Does Obama Have the “Special Feeling”.
Americans have come to support Israel mainly because the media only covers positive news from the region as it applies to Israel…..and then there is the Christians that are always in full support of Israel…..no matter what the news is…..Israel is always right and will always get their support…..but why?
Now that is an easy question to answer…..the Bible!
You see according to the Bible and Christian beliefs there will be an “end of days” and a second coming……but all that is contingent on there being an Israel, a homeland for the Jews. You see if there is NO Israel then there is No second coming or an end of days…..the predictions will be for naught……and they, Christians, cannot have that now can they?
America needs to wean itself off this blind allegiance to Israel……when that occurs then the possibilities of some sort of resolution in the Middle East will be at hand….lives will be saved and money will be made……could not ask for a better ending.
The entire world has been under the delusions of a supernatural being who made us since before the Tribe began their particular hegira toward their version of heaven. That’s more than 7000 years now, during which the main events of world society have been operating under a system which is based on an entirely unprovable assumption…. I find it unsurprising we continue to follow such a series of lies and misguided paranoia, and, not a little ‘stupid’ to think it has any connection to the actual universe as it exists in reality….
So, I can only say, dream on, brother; the end of the dream is not going to happen, until more than 7 billion people all wake up from it, and start dealing with the world as it is, rather than the way they’d like it to be…
SIGH…. All the rest of us can do is keep our heads down, and our powder dry, for those times when it isn’t possible to avoid confrontations with the mundanes….
Screw it; I’m hitting the road for a while. The world can go, well… do whatever it’s going to do…..
See ya, brother….
Dear gigoid….gggrrrrr

Enjoy your rest, you will need it when you return.

To see what the other side is thinking and saying, I follow a few right wing blogs. One of them is Power Line (powerlineblog.com). They are staunchly pro-Israel and come real close to accusing President Obama of anti-semitism. Who knows, maybe they actually have crossed that line. But, anyway, their love of Israel knows no bounds. And just yesterday, I noticed something on their blog. If you scroll down far enough they have to flags depicted under their blog roll. The U.S. flag and the Israeli flag.
It is stunning to me how the right is so critical of anybody who perceives what other countries do as providing examples worth considering for ourselves while they are so willing to allow our country and its policies be entirely co-opted by a foreign government. Just absolutely stunning.
But then what do we know. You know what any criticism of Israel makes us.
I have been called an anti-Semite before and I tell people that it is not all Jews just the ones elected to run the government..call me what they will I will not cease my criticism…
