Far From The Israeli Personal Insults To The US state Secretary Kerry!

This week the relationship between the state of Israel has witnessed some strain, over what the US has described as the (offensive) and (inappropriate) words of the Israeli defense minister Moshe Yaalon, about the state of secretary John Kerry peace proposals. Yaalon was quoted to have described Kerry diplomatic efforts as being (misplaced obsession and Messianic fervor!).

However, it’s obvious that Yaalon has forgotten simple historical facts that without the US backing Israel could not have managed to occupy, and challenge international laws over 65 years. Moshe Yaalon is not attacking any country. He attacks a country that went to war for Israel, paid millions of money and; used two thirds of its veto at the UN for Israel; and a country that exposed its international relation, and image to criticism for Israel.

But it seems that the Zionist state demands from the US have gone beyond all limitations. This was Chrystal clear towards the question of Iran, where Israel has been unsuccessfully lobbying that the Us go to war with Iran for the sake of Israel, a question that pro Israel American politicians found it too much.

Dianne Feinstein, chair of the Intelligence Committee, for instance, addressed this point directly by stating that (While I recognize and share Israel’s concern, we cannot let Israel determine when and where the US goes to war!).

In the mean time Kerry has been touring the middle east lately in the hope of finding a lasting peace in the region, struck by wars since the plantation of the Zionist state in Palestine in 1948.

Kerry is hoping that he would by April achieve progress on the main issues which includes border, Jerusalem, and the Palestinian refugees. But it is doubtful in light of the Zionist culture of land theft, that a fair solution could be achieved, without a radical shift of the Us towards Israel. And it's doubtful that such thing happens soon.

And the fact remains that the problem is much more complicated than the Yaalon words, but rather reflects the aggressive nature of Zionism which Palestinians know it very well.

The problem deeply reflects the essence of a Jewish Zionist culture which is unable to live with other cultures peacefully. The question which Jews need seriously to face is the fact that the mainstream of the Jewish culture today is sick and dominated by an arrogant and superior outlook towards others. They cannot expect to violate all existing international laws in the occupied Palestine, and at the same time, expect the Us and the world to accept it forever.
