Hatred Breeds Evil and Eventually Insanity
Click on picture to enlarge
Holding on to hatred eventually poisons the instigator and they
eventually become exactly what they are railing against and in this case Israel
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has become the embodiment of everything he
despises and distrusts with Iran ~ and in the process it becomes obvious that
Israel is fast becoming the very same rogue undeclared nuclear, fascist , deceptive and evil state that Netanyahu has been warning the world against: Allen L
Roland, Ph.D
"Holding
on to anger or hatred is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to
die" ~ Buddha
The
world is rapidly changing and Israel's Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu refuses to
accept it and instead rides his nuclear armed war chariot of fear, isolation
and deception against a growing wave of altruism and social cooperation ~
which are the driving forces of evolution.
Bibi's
problem is he believes that peace cannot be maintained without regional
dominance and military power and he sees it
slipping away and is determined to maintain that old world order at any cost ~ even
Israel's important ties with the United
States.
Netanyahu's
recent chutzpah moment at joint meeting of U.S Congress
The
problem is that consummate liar Bibi does
not have a credible moral leg to stand on
and is increasingly becoming the highly visible rogue threat he is warning the
world against
~ a world that is increasingly tired of war
and conflict and seeks a far more positive
choice of altruism and social cooperation
particularly with the growing universal threat of climate change.
Bibi's
deceptive showboat chutzpah moment speaking
to Congress was a desperate attempt to not only hold on to power but to remain
relevant in a rapidly changing world that is committed to co-existence and
increasingly getting tired of his deceptive message
of fear, retaliation, separation and hatred.
The
New York Times correctly writes today ~ "In our view, Mr. Netanyahu has consistently used these nuclear false alarms
and outlandish claims both to serve his domestic political maneuvering and
to create a smoke screen that relegates the Palestinian question to the
margins. We have noted how his rhetoric has intensified in proportion to
the international pressure on Israel to stop the settlement activity and end
the occupation of the Palestinian territory… The paradox of the situation is
that a government that has built a stockpile of nuclear weapons, rejected calls
to establish a nuclear-weapons-free zone in the Middle East, made military
incursions into neighboring states and flouted international law by keeping the
lands of other nations under occupation now makes such a big fuss over a
country, Iran, that has not invaded another country since America became a
sovereign nation…. and During the
quarter-century that Mr. Netanyahu and his allies have tried to keep Iran’s
nuclear program at the forefront of the global agenda, they increased the
number of illegal settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem to
more than 750,000 from about 300,000." New York
Times Op Ed http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/04/opinion/benjamin-netanyahus-nuclear-deceptions-on-iran.html?emc=edit_th_20150304&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=65700837
Here's
what the Tehran Times had to say about Bibi's speech ~ "What was
surprising and painful was the U.S. Legislators applauded repeatedly for a man
whose mind is obsessed with hatred and his criminal record (Gaza and Palestine)
are obvious to the entire world. American politicians and people should realize
that their country is a victim of Israeli atrocities in the Middle East ~ the
September 11 attacks of 2001 are a clear example. Israeli policies in the
middle East have been fueling terrorism and extremism in the region ~ and since
this Israeli regime is backed by the U.S. ~ terrorists seek every opportunity
to vent their anger on American citizens."
Remember how Bibi got on stage at the UN in 2012 and
pretentiously drew a red line for the world on Iran’s nuclear abilities.
Well, Mossad knew at that time the maximum level of
enrichment Iran could reach was only 20
percent, according to leaks obtained by The Guardian and Al Jazeera, while Bibi told a global
audience that Iran had gone well over 70 percent and
purposely ignored his own intelligence ~ sounds familiar
doesn't it ~ like right out of
Dick Cheney's playbook.
But
much more telling are the words of Uri Avnery, Israeli journalist,
writer, peace activist, a former Knesset member, and the founder of Gush
Shalom, who astutely comments on the propaganda spectacle of Bibi's
recent speech to Congress;
"I cannot imagine any more effective election
propaganda. Using the Congress of the United States of America as a propaganda
prop is a stroke of genius.
It means almost
literally spitting in the face of President Obama. I don’t think there was ever
anything like it. The prime minister of a small vassal country, dependent on
the US for practically everything, comes to the capital of the US to openly
challenge its President, in effect branding him a cheat and a liar. His host is
the opposition party.
Like Abraham, who was
ready to slaughter his son to please God, Netanyahu is ready to sacrifice
Israel’s most vital interests for election victory.
For many years,
Israeli ambassadors and other functionaries have toiled mightily to enlist both
the White House and the Congress in the service of Israel. When Ambassador
Yitzhak Rabin came to Washington and found that the support for Israel was
centered in the Congress, he made a large – and successful – effort to win over
the Nixon White House.
AIPAC and other
Jewish organizations have worked for generations to secure the support of both
American parties and practically all senators and congress(wo)men. For years
now, no politician on Capitol Hill dared to criticize Israel. It was tantamount
to political suicide. The few who tried were cast into the wilderness.
And here comes
Netanyahu and destroys all of this edifice for one election spectacle. He has declared war
on the Democratic Party, cutting the bond that has connected Jews with this
party for more than a century. Destroying the bipartisan support. Allowing
Democratic politicians for the first time to criticize Israel. Breaking a
generations-old taboo that may not be restored.
President Obama, who
is being insulted, humiliated and obstructed in his most cherished policy move,
the agreement with Iran, would be superhuman if he did not brood on revenge. Even
a movement of his little finger could hurt Israel grievously.
A
new poll by the University of Maryland’s Program for Public
Consultation and the Anwar Sadat Chair for Peace and Development shows that a
clear majority of Americans ~ including 61 percent of Republicans and 66
percent of Democrats ~ favor a nuclear agreement with Iran despite the
obvious political posturing by both parties as well as Netanyahu's ongoing fear
mongering, lies and deceptions.
To
sum it up, Bibi Netanyahu is rapidly becoming the odd man out in a rapidly coalescing world seeking peace and social cooperation ~ hopefully
the Israeli electorate will come to the same conclusion on March 17th.
“Hatred
does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.”
