SCHMUCK OF THE MONTH: Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN

The scene of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu pointing to a crude picture of a bomb when addressing the United Nations this week had to be seen to be believed:

I was so gobsmacked when I first saw it on the news, that my first reaction was to burst out laughing.

The leader of the apartheid state of Israel was using it as analogy for the escalating ‘illegal actions’ of Iran as ludicrous excuse for Israel’s panting desire to justify attack of Iran. The bitch on heat of the Middle East is at it again.

The fact that he was using what was tantamount to a childish scrawl out of a primary school art project only made the entire affair even more laughable and ludicrous – if it were not over an issue so incredibly dangerous.

The drums of war by another rogue nation at the UN are being played yet again, as ominous prologue to what is fast becoming a certainty – war with Iran. And heaven help us ALL when Israel and its Master Muppet, the United States, decide to make that deadly and unbelievably stupid move.

One thing is for sure: this image of Netanyahu and his amateur-beyond-belief art project will go down as one of the most surreal moments in the too often insalubrious history of the United Nations General Assembly.  

RANT: A Ruse About the Jews in the News

Much fuss was made this past week of Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanhayu, and his much-publicized and ‘controversial’ blitz through America. Turns out that instead of getting the usual Jewish-loving, Palestinian-hating, AIPAC-lobbied orgy of Israel loving that the Americans love to bamboozle Israeli heads of state and other minions of the Jewish apartheid state, he was actually ‘snubbed’ by no less than American President, Barack Obama.

The media was in a frenzy about how Obama had basically tut-tutted Netanyahu about invading Iran, with the rather stern caveat that the United States would not simply “attack” (invade) at the behest of Israel, and that “further dialogue” with the Iranians was needed. It was reported that Netanyahu was furious about this ‘volte face’ by Obama and people were analysing it to death, speculating that this was a ‘new low’ in US-Israeli relations, and that perhaps now Israel could not simply attack (invade) Iran with the full backing of the United States.

Republican presidential (non-) contender Mitt Romney was quick to declare his and his party’s undying (and frankly sick and twisted) love and devotion to Israel, no doubt making it clear that if he were to become president of the United States that Israel would have his full support and backing, not to mention missiles and other hardware to rain down on Tehran. Like any good corporate scheister gunning for the ultra-rightwing evangelical vote would declare to the apartheid state of Israel.

Even Paul Lavelle’s talk show on usually America-sceptic Russia Today (RT) asked his panel, “Has bipartisan support for Israel become a Republican cause?”

I smell a rat.

And I’ll tell you why:

This is all a ruse by Barack Obama to placate (and clinch) the liberal vote come the election in November. Whatever pundits may say, Obama still needs the support and votes of the tree-hugging, anti-war, anti-Wall Street, educated, basically secular and very pissed off liberals of America, i.e. many of the very people who swept him to power in 2008. He needs their votes.

So, what does Obama the consummate devious, spineless politician do? He suddenly comes out all ‘peace-loving’ and ‘cautious’ and speaking the words of the ‘diplomat,’ none of which this warmonger par excellence is, of course.  And he uses a visit by the Prime Minister of Israel to cement this ruse in the public and media eye. Because it’s all bullshit, as anyone with a hint of memory will know. This ‘change of heart’ is coming from the same man that has been beating the drum of war against Iran for over two years now? This is now from the same man who is still heavily supporting ‘rebel’ forces in order to overthrow Assad in Syria, which everyone knows is a gambit to get at Iran?

Come on! It’s all a ruse – it has to be ruse.

So, here’s how I see it: behind closed doors, Obama has given Netanyahu his full assurances that come January the United States will fully back an Israeli attack on Iran on some trumped up charge or another, but until then Obama must play the ‘liberal, anti-war’ president just as he so effectively did as Democrat presidential contender in the 2008 election. So he asks Netanyahu to bide his time and even take one on the chin as Obama will have to ‘sternly rebuke’ him for now so that he can get all those peace-loving, war-hating liberal votes.

Netanyahu, being Jewish and genetically knowing a great deal when he sees it, grabs Obama’s hands with both hands and vigorously agrees to the whole charade. Elated, he walks out and in front of the world media and makes as if he has been royally snubbed by Obama and is foot-stomping furious about it. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

Come January or a few weeks thereafter, and just watch the newly re-elected Obama come out in full support of Israel as it forges an attack on Iran on some trumped up charge or another.

It’s the only ploy that makes sense. And I am sure that there are many others who have come to the same conclusion. Ironically, it makes the war with Iran now seem more inevitable than ever. And that is by far the scariest aspect of this entire US-Israeli-concocted and cynical charade.

Do you get my point?
