There is considerable and growing opinion to the effect that Israel is becoming its own worst enemy – in that it is pursuing a course of action that can only end in tears and possibly the end of the Zionist project itself.
Philip Giraldi takes a well-reasoned look at this phenomenon in his essay:
The Middle East is critical to world peace. It houses most of the world’s oil. It also houses the constant struggle between the Jews and the Palestinians – not to mention the uprising of Arab awareness and Iranian assertiveness. The Jewish perspective on this struggle is well-known and constantly replayed by the MSM. But what is the reality? If Israel was given life by the sword, what is its future?
Welcome to the “brave new world” of war by machines – drones in this case.
Andrew Napolitano takes a closer look at the phenomenon in his essay:
It could be said that most politicians have a “Messiah” complex – a belief that they are uniquely suited to solve the problems of the world – and usually with disastrous consequences.
Uri Avnery believes the current leaders of Israel – Netanyahu and Barak – certainly have a similar complex, and that he is not alone in his conclusions:
The Man With Messianic Tendencies
President Dwight Eisenhower’s speech in 1961, warning about the dangers inherent in allowing the rise of the Military-Industrial Complex, rings truer today than ever – as the US seeks out ever-more enemies in order to justify the continuation of immense military spending.
Currently its the Islamic world that is cast as “enemies” and the ridiculous and fake “war on terror” is the response strategy that keeps the war profits flowing.
But does America have another enemy “up its sleeve”. Paul Craig Roberts believes so, in his essay:
This programme was broadcast by the BBC for the first time in March 2003, just before Britain joined in the criminal war against Iraq…
Much has been said about the rise of China vs the decline of the USA, and the following article by Ron Unz is an unusually clear exposition of the facts of the matter – contrary to the wishful thinking of many.
With the continuing decline in quality and content of the mainstream media – especially when it comes to news and investigative reporting – it is somewhat ironic that RT (Russia Today) should be offering up something of an antidote to the general tripe and trash the MSM usually serves up. But this is exactly what is happening, and what makes much of RT’s programming of interest – including this first edition of Julian Assange’s new interview programme, The World Tomorrow, in which he pulls off something of a “first” – a full interview with Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
Who is the world’s biggest bully? Paul Craig Roberts says it’s America – and I agree with him:
World’s Apex Bully Leads World into Lawlessness
