Could Obama’s Apparent Surrender to the Zionist Lobby Turn out to Be
Good for Justice and Peace?
by Alan Hart / November 20th, 2009
I’m quite strongly inclined to the view that the answer is “No”, but
the question is still worth asking. It was triggered in my mind by a
phrase in the introduction to the lead story of the BBC’s World
Service (Radio) news bulletins late on 17 November and early the
following morning. The story was the Obama’s administration’s “dismay”
at Israel’s decision to approve 900 new homes in occupied Arab East
Jerusalem “in defiance of world opinion“. The words emphasized were
those of a BBC scriptwriter, not a spokesman for the Obama
administration.
They reflected the fact that many if not most peoples of the nations
of the world (so-called ordinary folk) are becoming increasingly fed
up with Israel’s arrogance of power, its contempt for international
law and its appalling self-righteousness and, also, are beginning to
see the Zionist state for what it really is – the prime obstacle to
peace, because of its preference for more and more land rather than
peace.
Could it be that in the quietness of his unspoken mind, President
Obama is counting on this growing anti-Israel sentiment, if and when
it takes hold in America, to give him the freedom to respond to
Netanyahu’s two-fingered gestures by taking on the Zionist lobby’s
stooges in Congress?
Put another way, is it possible that Obama can live for the time being
with the humiliation Netanyahu is heaping upon him because he believes
that the Zionist state will so overplay its hand that it will alienate
even Americans, enough of them to make it possible for him to do
whatever is necessary to oblige Israel to be serious about peace on
terms virtually all Palestinians and most other Arabs and Muslims
everywhere could accept?
On this occasion, I’m not answering the question. Only asking it.
