Rituals of Battle for the American Presidency: maneuvering in support of Zionism

Asaad Abu Khalil *
Say is a ritual in American politics. Once every four years, playing candidates (filters) of the two Aljhmuri and democratic presidential elections. Once every four years, beginning in the bidding pro Israel and aggressiveness, and then begins to frantic competition among candidates in the Declaration of speed the transfer of U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. One is the transfer of the embassy within a week after his inauguration, and the other believes that moving the embassy in less than three hours after what is a betrayal of treason. Senator John McCain went further in his recent visit to Jordan when it demanded the transfer of the capital of Israel itself to Jerusalem (However, later that Zahle, a neighbor of the valley, must become the capital of Lebanon).
- Sarhan Sarhan and Robert Kennedy, mar the presidential election season ads generous increase in military and economic support of the State of Israel, even as it enjoys a standard of living (the Jews) was similar to the standard of living in Britain. There are those who forget that Sarhan Sarhan Bishara ( «Sarhan, you Sarhan. The silence may HDC. Even when alone. Warden Guard?», Also said it hoped Denkul) was in favour of Senator Robert Kennedy before he enrolls in the latest weather and declares candidacy electoral support for increasing the blind Number of U.S. fighter planes which the U.S. administration promised Israel by then. Of course, it may be infected with Bms Sarhan, but the tragedy reflects the Sek Arab liberal honesty and security of democratic change from within the system in America.
Jin Sarhan when he saw the auction by the candidate believed in him. Sarhan Devin does not lie within each Arab country, but there are many Arab Americans (and Americans) who are frustrated at their follow-up to scenes of ritual presidential elections. The Sami Al-Arian, professor of American fast food inside his cell, participated actively in the Bush campaign in in 2000. The Islamic organizations, which sees hope promised, not because conservatives and Arab and Muslim communities are socially province (for women's issues and gay pornography and abortion ...), but because they felt it a model of the traditional wing of the party was loud, which historically has tended towards Retreat and isolation, the actual translation of the goals lies in the reduction of support for Israel.
The electoral season in the draw, and conflict within the Democratic Party and frantically charged. As usual, both candidates try to highlight his support, not only for Israel but for Zionism Jabotnski to say the least. The political criteria skewed in the bipartisan leadership here, equality between the Labour Party and the Communist Party of Italy (when he was on a draw, when the U.S. government also learned that publication of a document here resorts to threats and intimidation to prevent the Communist representation in any Italian government in the Cold War) This means that American political culture has always exaggerate the show left-wing Labor Party in the peaceful intent by just as he did Yasser Arafat and Nayef Hawatmeh.
There are those who blame the people of Palestine (which did Giselle Khoury in an interview with the catchy-Palestinian representative Mohammed Bakri, when it tried to convince us that the resistance of the people of Palestine, which is ruled haphazardly on the so-called «the Israeli peace camp») the delinquency of Israel became increasingly radical right, with That Zionism is based in the left and right and center on racism and aggressive extremist terrorist).
The previous Republican candidate, Mike Hackby mandate Arkinsa, was responding to questions about the lack of experience in foreign policy and American elect experts on foreign policy, since Bush and Bill Clinton were inexperienced and science in foreign policy at the election, because the American people are interested in affairs Internal (economic) more than on foreign policy, unless a direct impact on their lives, such as the Vietnam war, and this explains why a popular theory «rational option» in the social sciences reminded the audience that he visited Israel nine times in his life. Nine times what a proud American Empire. There can be a candidate for the presidency in person within the two without a visit to Israel, even a quick visit arranged for George Bush Jr. as the Declaration of his candidacy in 1999. The visit of the candidates follow the usual protocol and repeated statements. Candidate after he returns from Israel to escort the tour by helicopter absolute faith in the absolute necessity of defending the security of Israel, says that revenue was not aware that Israel is such a small class, and the statements a few years ago, emphasizes the seriousness of the establishment of a Palestinian state. This was of course before the discovery of Abu Mazen (Giselle Khoury asked in the interview mentioned above commendable Bakri Mohammed Ali Abu Mazen, but he declined) and Mohammad Dahlan ( «Abu Fadi» as I loved the club Khoury), before the discovery Siniora course.
Among the three candidates
The presidential battle is confined today in the three individuals. It is interesting that Barack Obama comes from a background unfamiliar (in terms of public opinion within the two culprits in the) course, ethnically and politically. The man was active in progressive issues, and unlike most of the candidates active in foreign policy issues. Obama was interested in Palestinian affairs (sorry is not concerned about the small national homeland Lebanon accept that elections did not follow up with Al, not differential between the two brothers Murr, while narrowing the difference between an apartment on Monday after turning «Abu Elias» latter, except for a few volatility of abandonment Godfather stage Israeli godfather to the Syrian phase in Lebanon, to the extent that he deserves a well-deserved title sponsor spiritual Rustum Ghazaleh, who fully deserved to get a PhD thesis under the supervision of the Lebanese University Hassan Hallaq), attended the celebrations in the city of Chicago for supporting the Palestinian cause. The Arabs in Chicago contributed to the donation campaigns to support his candidacy based on his positions on the issue of Palestine. It is worth mentioning Arab friends in Chicago, such as activist friend Ali Abu Nimah founder of the «Electronic Intifada», that Obama was the affairs of the Palestinian cause, and met at one table thinker Said roles, as he met with activists over Palestine in Chicago. The point was familiar in dealing with events of Palestine (which of course those events, which means advocates of Bashir Gemayel Maridi statement «Mrs. Albert» who say with Wadih net «I Halber»).
Of course, all this change, Obama has become knowledgeable practitioners of the ritual presidential nomination. Tried at the outset, to the right, to preserve the fine from his convictions first. He said the election battle in the mud at its inception that «no one suffered more than the Palestinians». This was the expression sufficient to evaluate what he saw «sages» Democratic Party of distorting the candidate soft. What may be in local politics in Chicago may not be at the level of the Senate, let alone the level of presidential candidacy? Then enter Obama advisers, mostly from central party, not from the parties left it to be rectified.
Obama did not repeat the phrase since then more than that. Try the man who pays his rivals not to evade credibility as saying. Stomach phrase explanation, he claimed that he went to say that the movement «Hamas» and Palestinian terrorism, not Israel, are responsible for the suffering people of Palestine.
Obama to the Palestinian-Israeli Obama
Obama, and toured and originality in the forums Zionist Mostagdia Zionist support. And was keen to address the Zionists by the Israeli press. The Hillary Clinton campaign, which does not hesitate to resort to what is called here «dirty tricks» to undermine the reputation of Obama, mindful not to recognize symptoms of complications deducted for weakness in the Zionist discourse of presidential campaigns. Obama returned and committed to the traditional position of the two in absolute support of Israel. The statements are commonplace in this country: the unanimous bipartisan condemnation of the Palestinian people imposes on all cases of violence in Palestine. The Palestinian victim was to blame in her death, and also blame the deaths of Israelis, civilians or military.
The course in question of Palestine, Obama resembles the course of Hillary Clinton. The latter changed after the announcement of candidacy for the Senate from New York state. And Hillary, as he tells a friend, has established relationships with a number of Arabs over the years, and were regarded as pro-Palestinian question, and surreptitiously. Even within the administration of her husband were known for their support positions less sympathetic to Israel. It is said that it caused embarrassment to her husband when it claimed responsibility in an interview with the goal of establishing a Palestinian state, and this was before becoming a Palestinian state (Aldahlanih) deformed a goal of George Bush, or part of the «President Bush's vision» to say Bsmajh super Saeb Erekat.
But the positions of Hillary quickly changed the ability of the voter in New York state, once declared candidacy. And some people forget that hardened the positions of the interpretation of the Zionists had demanded earlier, and did what Obama today: they have resorted to prevarication, deception and duplicity, playing on words. Hillary became the first since her election in the Senate from Asdh votes in support of the Likud Zionist (and the Likud is the official position of the two, although many in the bipartisan leadership of the Israeli Likud takes a lean and his moderation. If they want to return to the Stern gang scene of Israeli control).
Lebanon preoccupation of the people and the elite in America!
As John McCain, is different. Was in a group notorious supporters of Israel, since that was a member of Congress. There appears to be influenced by former Senator directions (Republican from Texas), John Tower, who served in the corners of his advisers. The Tower of critics of the influence of the Zionist lobby. McCain himself charted a different approach. Was part of what is called here haphazardly «Reagan revolution», and the relationship of Reagan revolutions such as the relationship Walid Jumblatt and Saad Hariri revolution. No limit on the days of absolute support for Israel, although as I mentioned in an article analytical «Los Angeles Times» Finally, the team realists in the Republican Party, not the neo team, and kept close relationship with the poles of the neo-conservatives (Anthony was Kordziman, Strategic expert known to the national security adviser to Senator McCain for years, and this Kordziman enemies of neo-conservatives, and Badr him during Israel's war on Lebanon views identical to the testimony of neo-conservatives. This may be signaled ambition to assume an official position in the new Republican administration). The former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the latest humiliation for Waleed bin Talal when the last giant cheque for New York City after Sept. 11, and had not noticed the tragedy of Gaza but told «Rutana» priorities, is the semi-official candidate for new governors. He joined hardened Zionists such as John Bolton, all without exception of the notorious advocates Cedar Revolution it coincidence Group of Advisers to Giuliani. But the campaign did not last «quit», and disappeared. The Bob Panama, Deputy Director of «CNN. No. Er» previously published in a newspaper interview that McCain Stay away from the path of neo-conservatives will take the country towards realism in foreign policy.
But there are conflicting voices of the candidate McCain. And some people forget that he opposed the troop deployment in Lebanon in the Reagan era when the American administration tried to support Amin Gemayel, the then Israeli team also supports the U.S. administration today Siniora SAR team, so as not to add. Senator McCain is trying to acquire the support base of George Bush's conservative base and those have not disappeared completely, and shrunk, which is necessary for a candidate finds conservatives for reasons of legislative conduct, in addition to the independence of his personality that the preservation questionable.
Deals with many analysts Lebanon topic in the U.S. elections than wishful thinking. Of course, if ratified in a local newspaper «day», Nabil Bo fair, after the triumphant trip to America two years ago, we would say that Lebanon is the foremost concern of the people and the elite in America. (Adds Bo fair always talk about genius Lebanese around the world. Genius and the only pain already amaze all the world is president Amin Gemayel, Lebanon observations of the world months before the war the mountain lies in a brutal warring in the roar of the Lebanese civil war). Faris feared confirms that the American policy in Lebanon fixed whatever the president: He adds: «soul, blood, we support Sheikh Saad». The Nihad Mashnuq Street, Menchu invited him from the intellectual wing of the Zionist lobby, Washington Foundation to study the Near East (which «oversees» Walid Jumblatt also said talk in front of them) last year, confirms the equation contradict the axioms of American policy, that Bush Selja military option against the enemies Saad Hariri, and Mustafa Alloush, if only in the last days, and the American president enjoys free movement in recent months, especially given that the country is preoccupied with the economic mind are more than any other. The military strike, to come, Cable and Republican candidate Bush will cost the party dearly in the elections.
The subject of Lebanon is not, not even in an election speech. The Lebanese press, plus coverage of the visit of Samir Geagea and the arrival of the destroyer Cole to Lebanon. Reader of newspapers in America did not know that Geagea arrived really, really arrived. Has not received word in the press, visit intervention in the door type of provocation in Lebanon, more than anything else. (And Geagea did not stop during the visit «preaching» Lebanese that the U.S. administration issued a statement after a few moments against resettlement in Lebanon, did not issue a statement later, but Geagea, who loves life loving like Kareem Marwah, expected). The newspaper «daylight» primarily responsible for broadcasting a misunderstanding on Lebanon in Lebanon, and in the immigrant. They, on the theory of genetic superiority of the people of Lebanon, which affect every coverage, especially in the pharmaceutical discovery news in the most diverse dependent on flour and molasses Kharroub of cancer by Lebanese genius, wants to convince the Lebanese that the Lebanese overwhelming concern in America. As the arrival of the destroyer Cole deceived the people of Lebanon «great». Access expression of the absence of a military option, not inevitable. But the panel ruling authority wants to threaten guards and Damascus Hariri family, in addition to the security forces and the militia of a branch of information is not sufficient to intimidate Syrian-Iranian camp, although Nihad Mashnuq Street Tarabay cites Bush's words on the existence of «all options on the table», a non-table flowers.
The Saudi government pays about the bombing in Lebanon, without mention of a bouquet, Alzervae mouthpieces of Saudi Arabia in Lebanon say that Saudi Arabia did not intervene one day in the internal affairs of Arab countries, with Saudi Arabia that left no retroactivity in the opposition movement within each Arab state had not backed with money or weapons or ethnic Together (and former leftist, inspiring you from John's mouth, he expresses admiration experiments councils designated in the oil kingdoms oppression). Did we forget the conspiracies of the Al Saud Nasser and the guts to overthrow regimes property? And remember, or it must be remembered that the people of Beirut and the Phalangist militia fired AK in the first civil war was their Saudi regime.
What happens after the elections?
Of course, should not expect progress on the issue of Palestine (and Palestine is the issue, but Lebanon is a breakdown Zionist entity since the establishment of the State and the draft of the fragmentation and ethnic fragmentation in the heart of the Arab world), whatever the outcome of U.S. elections. There is a clear formula in the American presidency: It seems that each new American president was keen to overcome the Zionist extremism Lopes to his predecessor. Clinton was more Zionist than Bush, Bush more than Clinton, and so forth. The Saudi media bias began in the interests of John McCain. Perhaps the race and sex of candidates the Democrats are irritated family roots in black bondage in the oppression of women. It could be argued that the influence of neo-conservatives will end the mandate of Bush, but the tendencies similar to the Zionist leaders of the two directions. But the possibility of retreat in U.S. foreign policy, but not isolation, Ward especially in light of worsening economic crisis. And of the American Arthur Clsinger monitor the movement of the pendulum hours in the history of American foreign policy, since they range from isolation and direct military intervention. But Obama and Hillary suffer the problem of the Democratic Party considers reluctant ideal of waging war. That is why Monday was forced in their first year probably (if they arrived at the presidency) to wage war is to ensure renewal. And holding democratic weaknesses explain why verbal violence (and promise to kill the enemies of America strangled or hanged or beaten) in order Democratic Party candidates, and such violence is often directed at Arabs and Muslims. Barack Obama and found that the electoral necessity requires a speech directed to the right of whites in the Democratic Party, increasing his unit to the people of Palestine, and dissociated itself from Ksh talk to «state terrorism of Israel».
But both sides in the Arab media coverage of politics in America, and the only sign of weakness and fatalism absolute. Arab media reflect the regulations is satisfied that «99 percent of the securities» is in the hands of America. But the way the face of the Zionist tends securities of the hands of America, especially since the climate according to the popular Arab opinion polls published is not compatible with the orientations of governments (and reluctant Mouncall both) with that category of the Lebanese people and always coincide with the start of Israel: A poll conducted by the University Jordanian in Lebanon in 2005 that 16 percent of the people of Lebanon believe that Hezbollah operations against Israel is the «terrorist», and that 25 percent of the people of Lebanon see any operations against the Israeli occupation forces in Palestine terrorist acts, and 28 percent of the The people of Lebanon «Azim» Eyak forget see that the operations against occupation forces in Iraq of terrorist acts. It may be assumed that the movement of March 14, due to the excess of love of life, the more sympathetic of the supporters of the Israeli occupation of the Lebanese people. But the heart fragment upon reading the Saudi king's speech last: he admitted that he exercised self-criticism to the point «cruelty cumbersome». Enough burdensome any Custodian of the Two Holy. Detlef Mehlis and reared in all the boldness of the Lebanese people and urging a surveillance camera in every corner in Lebanon, and promised to watch the Lebanese affection and nurturing they lay in deceptive. More importantly, he said that the Lebanese people come to know the killers of Hariri in «day». And «one day I will turn to the Almighty for His mercy» also sings friend Mounir Juli.
