Re: I am well aware that Israel influences the American gov't. However, some people, you included, see a Jew or Israeli behind every American subplot. Its very boring because its so repetitious and so easy. Well, let me set the record straight: I personally would have no problem at all with a Greater Israel stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates --were it not for the rights of the locals, namely, Egyptians, Syrians, Jordanians, Iraqis, Saudis, and... Palestinians. Now, you'll retort that there are dozens of conflicts the world over, several, if not all, much bloodier than the Israel/Arab one and that's correct: Sri Lanka, Kashmir, Indonesia, Rwanda, etc. But none of the latter has the potential to destabilize Europe and the US... I don't expect Tutsi terrorists plotting to set off a nuclear bomb in a major European city. Tutsis don't own European newspapers and media to psych up European opinion into hating their Hutu foes... Tutsis are not in cahoots with American Evangelical nuts doing the same in the US (). Therefore, mine is rather a cynical, self-serving concern: I'm well aware of the Zionists' --be they Israeli, Jewish or Judeo-Protestant-- attempt to drag both the US and Europe into their mess... Unlike their French forerunners in Algeria, today's Zionists have grasped the importance of public opinion in both Europe and the US. Hence they perfectly understand that they are going nowhere so long as Europeans and Americans at large don't perceive Arabs/Muslims the same way Israelis/Zionists do --namely, as "terrorists" bent on destroying not just Israel, but the West as a whole. And that's precisely where, in my opinion, Europe's and Israel's interest part from one another: for over 730 years, Europe's civilization could make do without the Holy Land (as the latter was recovered by Saladin in 1187). Quite the opposite, actually, as Europe enjoyed her golden age from 1500 on --the Renaissance, the discovery of the Americas, the Enlightenment,.... So, as far as European civilization is concerned, whether Jerusalem and its environs belong to Arabs or Jews is irrelevant. Europe lost Jerusalem in 1187, Constantinople in 1453, recovered Andalusia in 1492, lost Algeria in 1962, and missed the opportunity to turn the whole of Turkey into a EU member in 2004 --so what? Europe's fate is not to remain a lily-white, evangelical stronghold permanently at war with her nonwhite, non-Christian neighbors. In other words, Europe's destiny is not to emulate the Israeli garrison-state. Gus () Message 18732378
