Will Israel Fall in Five Years?
September 21, 2009 by Jeff Gates · 12 Comments
Online reports of a study by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency cast doubt over the survival of Israel beyond the next two decades. Regardless of the validity of the report, with what is now known about the costs in blood and treasure that the U.S.-Israeli relationship has imposed on the U.S., its key ally, Israel could fall within five years.
For more than six decades, American support for Israel has relied on the ability of pro-Israelis to dominate U.S. media, enabling Tel Aviv to put a positive spin on even its most extreme behavior, including its recent massacre in Gaza. With access to online news coverage, that Zionist bias is becoming apparent and the real facts transparent.
Though Americans seldom show a strong interest in foreign affairs, that too is changing. While few of them grasp the subtleties of one-state versus two-state proposals, many have seen online the impact of a murderous Israeli assault on Palestinian civilians that was timed between Christmas and the inauguration of Barack Obama.
The leaders of the 9-11 Commission acknowledged that its members would not allow testimony on the impetus for that attack. Yet the report confirmed that the key motivation was the U.S.-Israeli relationship. With access to online news, more Americans are asking why they are forced to support a colonial Apartheid government.
With the election of yet another extremist Israeli government led by yet another right-wing Likud Party stalwart, it’s clear that Tel Aviv intends to preclude peace by continuing to build more settlements. With that stance, Israel not only pushed Barack Obama into a corner, it also forced U.S. national security to make a key strategic decision: Is Israel a credible partner for peace? By any criteria, the answer must be a resounding “No.”
That inescapable conclusion leaves Americans with few options. After all, the U.S. is largely responsible for the legitimacy granted this extremist enclave in May 1948 when Harry Truman, a Christian-Zionist president, extended nation-state recognition. He did so over the strenuous objections of Secretary of State George Marshall, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the fledgling CIA and the bulk of the U.S. diplomatic corps.
By December 1948, a distinguished contingent of Jewish scientists and intellectuals warned in The New York Times that those leading the effort to establish a Jewish state bear “the unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party.” Albert Einstein joined concerned Jews who cautioned Americans “not to support this latest manifestation of fascism.”
Only in the past few weeks has the momentum emerged to subject Israel to the same external pressures that were brought to bear against Apartheid South Africa. After more than six decades of consistent behavior—and clear evidence of no intent to change—activists coalesced around the need to boycott Israeli exports, divest from Israeli firms and impose sanctions against Israel akin to those it seeks against others.
The focal point for peace in the Middle East should not be those nations that do not have nuclear weapons but the one nation that does. Absent external pressure, Israeli behavior will not change. Absent pressure—and likely force—applied by the U.S. as the nation that has long enabled this behavior, Colonial Zionism will continue to pose a threat to peace. Occupying powers are not known to voluntarily relinquish lands they occupy. Likewise for their readiness to surrender nuclear arms.
An End to Jewish Fascism?
The key issue need no longer be a subject of endless debate. There must be a one-state solution consistent with democratic principles of full equality. Informed Americans are no longer willing to support a theocratic state in which full citizenship is limited to those deemed “Jewish” (whatever that means). If local birth rates suggest an eventual end to the “Jewish state,” then so be it. Why wait two decades when this nightmare can be drawn to a close in less than five years?
Forget about a return to pre-1967 borders, instead return to pre-1948 borders. Designate Jerusalem an international city under U.N. protection and dispatch multi-national forces to maintain peace. Palestinians should have a right of return, including the ability to recover properties from which they fled under an assault by Jewish terrorists. If Colonial Zionists (aka settlers) want compensation for “their” property, let them seek restitution from the Diaspora that encouraged their unlawful occupation.
Those who consider themselves “Jewish” can remain as part of an inclusive democracy. Or they can depart. Americans must consider how many of these extremists it wants to welcome to a nation already straining under an immigration burden. A reported 500,000 Israelis hold U.S. passports. With more than 300,000 dual-citizens residing in California alone, that state may require a referendum on just how many Zionists it wishes to receive. Likewise for Russia from which many “Jews” fled, including some 300,000 Russian émigrés who support the Likud Party but have yet to be certified as Jewish.
Zionists originally saw Argentina and Uganda as desirable venues to establish their enterprise. They may wish to apply there for resettlement. The question of why Palestinians (or Californians) should bear the cost of a problem created by Europeans six decades ago is one that Tel Aviv has yet to answer except by citing ancient claims that it insists should take precedence over two millennia of Palestinian residence.
By withdrawing Israel’s status as a legitimate “state,” those Jews long appalled by the behavior of this extremist enclave can no longer be portrayed as guilty by association. That long overdue shift in status is certain to benefit the broader Jewish community. By shutting down Israel’s nuclear arms program and destroying its nuclear arsenal, the world can be spared the key impetus now driving a nuclear arms race in the region.
Unless pro-Israelis can create another crisis by inducing an invasion of Iran (or a race war), Americans will soon realize that only one “state” had the means, motivation, opportunity and stable nation-state intelligence required to fix the intelligence that led the U.S. to invade Iraq consistent with the expansionist goals of Colonial Zionism.
Intelligence now working its way to transparency will soon confirm that, but for Zionists within the U.S. government, 9-11 could have been prevented and war in Iraq avoided. To date, this extremism has been enabled by a series of weak U.S. presidents. For the U.S. to restore its credibility requires that it not only lead the effort to shut down the Zionist enterprise but that it also share responsibility for its behavior to date.
Great article – the so-called “two-state solution” is the equivalent of having someone break into your home, hold your family at gunpoint, and when the police come, they strike a compromise by allowing the prowler to have your kitchen, bathroom and bedroom while you keep the basement.
I understand the argument that America was expanded by terrorism – and think Indians and blacks are still due some affirmative action (maybe not reparations, but at least a “Marshall plan” for bringing productive employment, better education and social services to reservations and inner cities). But we’re talking about something happening now, and a “country” that terrorizes its natives and neighbors with nuclear, chemical, conventional and financial weapons. I don’t care about your ethnic, religious or cultural background. Anyone who can cheer on such a state of affairs is aiding and abetting the greatest crimes that can be committed.
With countries like Germany and Russia experiencing population crises, why can’t these Israeli immigrants return to their countries of origin? I’m afraid nothing short of an international truth commission on the history of Israel, including its connection to the British financial empire, many assassinations and acts of terrorism, including its role in 9/11, will create the conditions necessary to keep extremist “jews” from setting up new Israels around the world when the current one collapses. Maybe we can even get a couple generations of reprieve while the bankers, dope traffickers and organ harvesters reconstitute their networks.

It is a helpful article, but I think the difficulties of a one-state solution are being glossed over somewhat.
From what I can understand, there is no grass-roots movement amongst either Israelis or Palestinians for a one-state solution. On the contrary, both currently yearn for independance, and it’s hard to imagine such a transition being imposed without the support of the masses.
As Professor Neve Gordon said in his recent paper, if it comes to a choice between changing geographical realities and ideological ones, the geographical ones are probably easier to deal with, even despite the apparent injustices involved.

The West Bank is now home to over 300,000 Israeli Jews with most of the Palestinians living in disconnected ghettos. And, absent world-wide pressure on Israel, including boycotts and sanctions, the creation of a Palestinian state is impossible. Unfortunately, the US will stand with Israel at all costs and attempt to block any efforts by the international community to put pressure on Israel. However, as America’s influence declines, the rest of the world might over-ride the US and finally put some real pressure on Israel.

It is impossible that arrogant Jewish Israelis would accept a one state solution to share with the Palestinians they despise more than they fear.
The only solution is the persistent armed resistance, the relentless provocations, detterence acts and the subsequent erosion of Israel’s reputation internationally. The strong Jewish lobby and media always succeeded in blocking news and facts that show the world the real face of this artificial, fanatic and colonialist country disguised as a ‘democracy’. Now new media, like theI Internet, are gradually taking the place of the jewish controlled media and the tide will not stop. People are becoming more suspicious and too bad for the Jews. Anti-semitism is growing again in Europe despite laws that forbid it. The Jews are paying for Israel’s adventurism.
With Iran, Israelis are playing with fire but their leaders’ arrogance may just blind them to the point of risking self destruction. The Iranians know that. They also know that U.S. troops are trapped between Iraq and Afghanistan. They are right to persist in their provocations that are putting Israel and the U.S. on edge. Maybe Iran secretly hopes that Israel will attack as this will provoke the premature dissapearance of a country that was created artificially and unjustly.

Israelis are not Judeans. They are not descendants of Abraham. They are not Semitic people. They are descendants of a Mongolian-Turkish tribe called Khazars who converted to Talmudic Judaism and proceeded to take over the whole world through usury. This fact cannot be stated enough. These people have no claim to the Holy Land whatsoever. It is all a sham.

To think that after the monumental atrocities to Jews in WWII that Isreal would in fact create it’s own Warsaw Ghetto with Palestine – to include the wall and institutional brutality. It’s mind boggling. It makes one apoplectic. It’s the far back-side of irony. It’s sickening. You always become the thing you hate when you seek vengeance and control.

Two state policy is surrender to oppressor. Zionist ideology is bound to fail like Nazism and Aparthied of South Africa.
Time will come when all people of all races and religions will live peacefully like before.

This article is absolutely true.Until and unless the The UN imposes strict sanctions and brings illegal state of Zionists to its feet the Palestinian problem will not be solved.The cause of all the troubles which mankind is facing today are because of the Zionists and the their illegal State.

It’s interesting that you said, “If local birth rates suggest an eventual end to the “Jewish state,” then so be it. ” I’ve seen birth rate projections that say that Islam will be the predominant religion by the year 2050, presumably with their gruesome Sharia Law. To me, that doesn’t bode well for the world. Therefore, I figure getting rid of Israel may well end one problem but a greater one is on the horizon.

Thanks for taking the time to write. Certainly food for thought. Wonder what might happen to that birth rate if we did a redesign of the “Washington” consensus so that free-flowing capital did a better job of creating a world with shared prosperity? See Chapter Six in Guilt By Association, available on the site. Thanks for your comment.

What is the goal, that Zionists wish to achieve? Is it money, power, self-approval, jealousy, removal of their self doubt? Whatever their intent may be, they cannot accommodate their social injustice of Palestinians or other people, and gain the social approval of the people of the world.
They may gain advantages by deceiving other people, but they also permanently miss their goal of achieving the admiration of other people. Might their remaining goal be the disfigurement of other people, so they can deceive themselves into believing that they, by comparison, are more exquisite human beings than anyone else? Maybe. It’s sad to see the waste of their human potential to do good, instead of waging their spite on innocent men, women and children.

Suggest you print out and keep handy this excerpt from the clinical psychiatric literature as it accurately describes those you mention:
psychopathy n. A mental disorder roughly equivalent to antisocial personality disorder, but with emphasis on affective and interpersonal traits such as superficial charm, pathological lying, egocentricity, lack of remorse, and callousness that have traditionally been regarded by clinicians as characteristic of psychopaths, rather than social deviance traits such as need for stimulation, parasitic lifestyle, poor behavioral controls, impulsivity, and irresponsibility that are prototypical of antisocial personality disorder. Whether psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder share a common referent is an open question. Compare sociopathy. psychopath n.
