Israelization of Washington Policy:

Muslim-Bashers

A world where some Muslims are Arab but most aren’t and some Arabs are Christian is seen by the neo-con/Zionist movement as complicated and messy and annoying.

They need a clear "good guys versus bad guys" "cartoonizable" target for their purposes, since they envision a clearcut global civil war with Israel and themselves holding the leash and America serving as the anti-Muslim "attack dog".

One of the main groupings in this radical "us against them" camp, at the very highest levels of Israel and America is the Jewish Institute for Western Defence, Jerusalem.

They explain themselves thus:

"The Institute was founded in 1987.

Its purpose is to provide a reliable source of information about what is happening in Moslem states and thus to show Western policy-makers and public opinion the danger Islam presents to Western civilization by citing the Moslems themselves.

Its original Advisory Council included General George J. Keegan, General Daniel O. Graham, Ambassador Charles Lichenstein (of the Heritage Foundation), Professor Eugene V. Rostow, Professor Charles MacDonald and Dr. Max Singer (all from USA), Admiral Rene M. Bloch (France) and Dr. Uzi Landau, Ambassador Meir Rosenne, Prof. Yuval Ne'eman, General Joshua Sagui and General Rechav'am Ze'evi (all from Israel)."

Eugene Rostow, famous economist Walt Rostow’s brother, was Reagan’s Arms Control chief till replaced by the just-as-crazy neo-con Zionist Kenneth Adelman in the early 1980’s; Ne’eman was the world-class physicist who moved to Texas; Rechavam Ze’evi was the would-be anti-Palestinian Milosevich of Israel who was killed before he could implement his ethnic cleansing scheme. Max Singer co-founded the Hudson Institute in 1961 and was on "National Public Radio" a few weeks ago representing the Potomac Organization of Washington which he founded in 1983. Daniel Graham was the main "star wars" proponent under Reagan.

The basic strategy of this grouping is to try to link US national security manias and anxieties with ethno-religious/ethno-national "bad guy" creation. Islam and Muslims are their official target.

The basic "prepatory tactic" is to do services for the powerful, to curry favor: Max Singer was one of Reagan’s key "ambassadors" to the contras in Central America in the 1980’s.

Reagan lectured Jewish advocacy groups in the eighties and his theme was "Daniel Ortega and the Sandinista are anti-Jewish and anti-Israel". He was then heard to mumble, "the settlements are not necessarily illegal" thus signalling to Israel a carte blanche in its creeping annexation policies in exchange for domestic US political support for the contras and the Nicaragua intervention.

The cleverness of these neo-con Zionists is this: Set up terrorism conferences in Israel in the 1980’s under Netanyahu, get leaders like George Bush Senior and George Shultz to attend and then show them a way to understand the world in a way that’s congruent with their blind spots. The best tack is to speak of "vital national security" since politicians sense that’s the perfect "phrase-tool"…after all, who could be against "vital national security"?

If you can then "hammer home" the message that the terrorists are either Communists or Muslims, who "hate our freedoms", then you have the perfect fusion of explanation and target. American leaders can then fly back from Jerusalem to America with the sense that the Netanyahu types have now equipped them with the correct "political toolbox". We have already seen how Netanyahu’s edited book of essays, "Terrorism: How the West Can Win" was Ronald Reagan’s "homework" on Air Force One as he flew to Tokyo for the 1986 Summit. Netanyahu thus converted the 1986 Tokyo Global Summit into a terrorism summit via his book as "reading assignment" with the Jerusalem conferences on terrorism from 1979 onwards, at his Jonathan Institute, serving as the prepatory spadework. Feith, Richard Perle and Eliot Abrams were among Netanyahu’s main lieutenants, then as now.

Before the current Iraq War, Prime Minister Tony Blair sent his emissary Lord Michael Levy, who is Jewish, and a close friend and business crony of Ehud Barak, to plead with the White House to promise to announce the Roadmap to Peace which Bush was scared to do. Levy met with Abrams who more or less threw him out.

In other words, we see a world where 6.3 billions persons basically depend on whether Tony Blair’s Jewish emissary can successfully entreat with the neo-con Zionist Abrams, and while Levy fails to get a commitment on the Roadmap, the 6.3 billion must wait.

Thus we can say that globalization processes contain within them a "pathological counter-variant", promoted by Muslim-bashers like those in the Jewish Institute for Western Defense, discussed above, and neo-con Zionists like Abrams. This is now blocking world-policy from inside its Washington headquarters.

The Israelization of Washington policy is bringing the world to a kind of "political nervous breakdown". That is of course welcomed by these neo-con Zionist players since, as radical revolutionaries, "worse is better."
