Look quickly at the following three "Israelization of Washington policy" players and ponder the Comment that follows.

Gold is one of Sharon’s right-hand men and was recently seen addressing the Congress of the US, along with Steven Emerson, fanning the flames of anti-Arab/anti-Muslim hatred. Gold "famously" denounced Arafat as an "Islamic terrorist". He favors a cantonal bantustan for the Palestinians set up to "evaporate" under Israeli pressure into a Jordan-is-Palestine final outcome. Sharon tends to agree.

He is the middleman between Sharon and the Congress of the US and makes sure, as the saying goes, that "the American Congress is more pro-Israel than the Knesset"!

These "Israelizers" keep oscillating at the moment between attacks on Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, hoping to embroil America in a "hundred year’s war" with all Arab and Muslim states and peoples and aspirations.

Gold has been discussed on this web site by other aljazeerah.info contributors.

Brittan is the leading economics and financial columnist for the "Financial Times" of London, one of the most highly-regarded business dailies in the world. His brother, Leon Brittan, is the famous EU financial official.

His own biographical sketch shows the characteristic neo-con/Zionist trajectory from Jewish "leftie"—many of the neo-con/Zionists of today emerge from Trotskyite roots—to fanatic Sharon/Netanyahu supporter:

"My father was a general practitioner in north-west London. Both he and my mother were of Lithuanian Jewish extraction, although naturalized before I was born.

I switched from an obsessive observance of Jewish rituals to proclaiming my disbelief in religion."

"I brought myself up on a watered-down noncommunist semi-Marxism My politics became 'left wing Labour' or 'Bevanite'. I wanted 'a socialist foreign policy'.

…I was very uneasy about fighting the Gulf War of 1990 to restore the al-Sabah dynasty to Kuwait…"

Samuel Brittan is now a neo-con Zionist and the theme of his comments in the "Financial Times" columns is that ways should be found to "peripheralize" the Palestine problem so that it will evaporate by itself.

Joffe is a German Jew and a neo-con/Zionist.

Realizing that post World War II Germany would need a Jewish defender, he has positioned himself as a mouthpiece for Germany (he’s often seen defending German society as a panelist on the "News Hour with Jim Lehrer" on PBS).

He is now publisher-editor of the German weekly, "Die Zeit", Hamburg and a very influential opinion-leader in Germany. He is a contributing editor of "Time" and was editorial page editor from 1985-2000 for the "Süddeutsche Zeitung".

His main "quiet launchpad" for his neo-con/Zionist activities is as boardmember and intellectual "top gun" of the AICGS (American Institute For Contemporary German Studies).

MACROHISTORICAL COMMENT:

Commentators in the media, starting with former Secretary Madeleine Albright, keep dividing the world into democracies, failed states and rogue states. Rogue states get together and constitute an "axis of evil," a phrase coined for Bush by the neo-con/Zionist speechwriter David Frum, a Canadian-American Jew

What nobody sees or chooses to see is that the world is not comprehensible via such "baby talk" which omits another category: the transnational crazy state.

In our world, Israel is such a transnational crazy state. Afghanistan under conditions of complete Al-Qaeda takeover could well have evolved into such a state; under the Taliban, it was an oppressive "gynephobic" theocracy rather than a real TCS. (transnational crazy state).

A TCS like Israel embodies the following principles of world-disorder:


War is peace.
Worse is better.
Chaos is desirable.
Ethno-national violence should govern internal and external relations in and among states.
Never stand still, keep moving the goalpost of peace, sow confusion, discombobulate the world by endless caprice.
Concede nothing and oppress the weak. 
Blame the victim always.
Promote global civil war and "clash of civilizations" to get the desired "frame" for world politics.

This describes Israel under Shamir, Begin, Sharon, Netanyahu and the transnational "globalization" of this craziness is carried out by likeminded allies such as Dore Gold, Joffe, Brittan, described above.

Macrohistorically, this is a parallel globalization process, a pathological variant of the process.
