The U.S. to abandon Israel?

Visit our News page U.S. to Abandon Israel? The Ramifications for the Fight Against Radical Islam Dear Solsticewitch13, The short interview below was conducted on December 31, 2008, and posted on the website of the Northeast Intelligence Network. It is a sobering assessment of the direction the U.S. government is moving with respect to support for Israel. Americans who view the conflict between Israel and the Islamic forces surrounding it as a Middle East regional problem fail to grasp the ramifications for the global war against Islamic terrorism. History demonstrates that Islamist military and cultural expansion was stopped, and in some cases pushed back, when it was met with organized, effective resistance. Such resistance often proved to be psychologically devastating to the Islamists, who believed their prospective victory over “infidel” societies was divinely ordained and thus inevitable. Since the mid-20th century, Israel has been on the front lines of this resistance. Its successes in resisting Islamic jihad campaigns during the latter half of the 20th century angered militant Muslims around the world, but this successful resistance meant that most of the countries of the world – including the U.S. – did not, during this time period, have to fight an empowered and emboldened Islamic jihad on their own soil. It is our position that as Israel, at the urging of the U.S., capitulated to Islamist demands, such as in the Oslo Peace Accords, its Islamist enemies were energized, empowered and emboldened. Couple this with a massive immigration of Muslims to Europe and the United Kingdom, the financing of Islamic terrorist and terror-related organizations with petrodollars, and the infiltration of American academia, media and government by Islamists and their sympathizers, and it is no surprise to us that the current wave of Islamic violent and cultural jihad worldwide has achieved the power and momentum it has. If the U.S. abandons Israel, and Israel falls to the 21st century wave of Islamic jihad, the damage this will do to our collective worldwide efforts to roll back this rising tide will be incalculable. As Osama bin Laden stated shortly after 9/11, the world is looking to follow the “strong horse.” Capitulation in the Middle East will only serve to reinforce the growing belief in the Islamic world that the West is the “weak horse” that is ripe for conquering. The stronger and fiercer this belief becomes, the harder it will be to defeat it. Moves by the Obama administration, including President Obama’s recent message to Iran, reveal that this administration does not recognize or understand the global ramifications of a defeated Israel and an empowered Islamic jihad. As then-Senator Joe Biden wrote a year ago, “To compare terrorism with an all-encompassing ideology like communism and fascism is evidence of profound confusion.” On the contrary, Biden’s statement is evidence of “profound confusion.” The struggle in the Middle East is not about a Palestinian state – such a state could have been carved out in an Arab country long ago. This is about 14 centuries of Islamic hatred of Jews, and the supremacist ideology embedded in the holy books of Islam. And make no mistake: If they can conquer the Jews, they will extend their jihad to the rest of us “infidels,” with weapons of mass destruction in their arsenal. There is still time for the American people to rise up and demand that we cease capitulating to Islamist demands and actions. This is the reason for being for ACT! for America, www.actforamerica.org. U.S. Intelligence Official about Israel: “This is just the beginning” U.S. Intelligence official “breaks silence” on Israel situation” http://homelandsecurityus.com/?p=25 31 December 2008: Northeast Intelligence Network director Doug Hagmann interviewed a highly-placed U.S. intelligence official late yesterday who not only confirmed rumors about escalated and more intensive Israeli military operations against the Muslim terrorists in Gaza, warned of the increasing probability of abandonment of Israel by the U.S. and other Western countries based on what he termed “malicious intelligence.” “Remember that term,” advised this well-placed intelligence official, “you’ll be hearing it again.” “This is just the beginning,” stated this intelligence official, who wished to remain anonymous. This official stated that the possibility for a much more protracted ground war is more likely today than at any other time in the past, adding that Israel is exercising her right to protect herself from her enemies in Gaza. But there is a catch, noted this official, and a big one at that: Israel could be about to lose the support of the United States. “I have every reason to believe, based on what I’ve seen at my level of [security] clearance especially over the last several years, that Israel will soon be completely on their own… or worse.” When asked what could be worse than losing the support of the United States, he stated: “when our administration provides more support to Arab countries [with] financial and military aid, undercutting Israel’s defense efforts all while pushing Israel to succumb to the pressure of unreasonable demands designed to end with their political annihilation as a nation.” According to this official, the U.S. has been slowly proceeding down this road. He cited the 2005 surrender of Gush Katif to the Palestinian Authority as one critical example of the slow dismantlement of Israel as a viable nation. “Despite critical intelligence outlining in every possible manner imaginable that this would be a disastrous move leading to the events we are seeing today, it was done anyway,” he stated. “We are seeing the very scenario play out today that was outlined in intelligence briefs three and four years ago. Knowing that, there is something very wrong with this picture,” he stated. He added that Western media is also playing a very big role in the current war in the Middle East, thanks, in part, to carefully worded statements prepared by political officials in Washington. Officials in the current administration, like some previous administrations, submit carefully crafted informational releases to a media that is controlled by those having special interests that are contrary to a legitimate peace in the Middle East. “The game is rigged. At the highest levels of power in the U.S. and even by some in power in Israel, the game is rigged,” he emphasized. The next obvious question in this interview was, of course, “how is it rigged?” followed by ”how are you in a position to know?” This official responded by stating that he has spent the last two decades serving in “an unfortunate position where intelligence and politics meet and often collide.” Now, merely days away from retirement, he stated that he is looking forward to leaving his position after conducting over 20 years of intelligence work “that has been molded and massaged to advance the agendas of a select few.” He continued: “When an intelligence work product that has been thoroughly and properly vetted is submitted to those in Washington, and I see a completely different and entirely inaccurate product intentionally submitted and aired in the media, only to be told ‘that is the way it must be,’ then I know it’s time for me to leave.” “It is obvious to me that most Americans don’t understand or don’t care what is actually happening in the Middle East relative to Israel. People don’t understand history, or have been subjected to revisionist history based on lies and more lies. Add to that a media that fails to provide an accurate assessment of what is taking place in Israel, in Gaza, and you end up with a very bad situation for Israel,” stated this source. He added that the disinformation coming and going to and from Washington is getting worse, as is the media bias against Israel. The events currently taking place in Israel are extremely perilous for Israel and especially perilous for the national security of the United States, according to this source. Contrary to the accepted assessments of “Middle East experts” in the news, our intelligence services have “ample evidence to prove active collusion and support between HAMAS and other terrorist organizations, both Sunni and Shite. Further, there is a level of Iranian complicity in this war that is not being talked about, or being dismissed out of hand because of the schism between the Sunni and Shia sects,” stated this source. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT for America P.O.
