Some of the villains but not all!

Friends, Reuters reports today that the new U.S. envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell,  has assured Israel that: “The United States and Israel are and will remain close allies and friends.” It’s a clear case of birds of a feather flocking together!

The article also reports that Netanyahu has made it clear that: “Israel’s security is paramount in peace efforts and any self-governing Palestinian entity must be demilitarized and have limited powers of sovereignty.”

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work out where the Palestinians fit into the latest phase of the charade being engaged in by the U.S. and Israel, one that purports to be all about giving the Palestinians justice after sixty years of one of the greatest travesties of justice the world has ever seen.

What it means is that a small area of useless land will be eventually allocated to the Palestinians and they will remain under the boot heel of Greater Israel. They will get no right of return. They will get no compensation. They will remain in poverty. They are a lost people who have no future.

The truth is that the Palestinians to both these imperial powers are of zilch importance. The truth is that the only thing that both these powers consider to  be important is themselves.

The truth is that both the U.S. and Israel claim to be democracies and peace seekers when the truth is they are both warmongers who use the excuse of self-defense to engage in military invasion and occupations which are for the express purpose of gaining land and resources belonging to others and to gain strategic military advantage to further swell their own power bases and imperial designs.

Friends, it is time to call a spade a spade.

The U.S. is at the head of a Western Axis of Evil. Its never-ending warmongering is supported directly and indirectly by a number of nations: Britain, Australia, some European countries, etc. America is currently involved in war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and is attacking areas in Pakistan using drones. It is probably covertly involved in many of the civil wars which were mentioned in the last post.

Of course, its imperial influence also involves non-military aggression. It gives food and military aid to compliant countries like Egypt and a host of others and threatens to withdraw that aid to any who don’t toe the American line. Obama, who talks eloquently about peace, has recently raised the already immense level of ‘defense’ spending and is sending thousands more U.S. troops to Afghanistan. He is talking about negotiating with Iran while he continues to make threats both to it and North Korea.

Israel must surely be second on the Axis of Evil list. The recent atrocities and genocide it carried out on Gaza alone would give it the silver medal. The rest of its weir crimes are well documented.

Britain is clearly in third place. It follows America around like a lapdog and, in true British tradition, seems to enjoy being given the opportunity to bomb and kill innocent civilians and facilitate their torture. I remember the ferocity which it employed during the Falklands war.

I am ashamed to say that Australia is also on the list. While its military contributions are minimal, it too is caught up in the American Axis of Evil. It does so more in fear of losing American military support than enjoying being barbaric (which is no excuse at all). It doesn’t seem to realize that supporting American imperialism makes it a target.

It is time that sane nations in the world (ones not into war or war profiteering) stood up to the American Axis of Evil. Its constant warmongering and that of Israel and Britain, etc,  is leading the world towards nuclear annihilation.

Let’s stop America and its misguided allies now before it’s too late!
