Israel’s Choice is Simple: Permanent Peace or Permanent War.

The ‘in your face’ attitude of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has to stop. His Nazi like behaviour is starting to piss off even the staunchest supporters of Israel like myself. Americans and Europeans, in fact the whole world, are getting fed up. The Israeli policies and intentions regarding settlements need to be clearly defined and presented to the Israeli electorate in a clear and transparent way for a clear and unambiguous decision. It is high time the Israeli people put an end to the Israeli government’s lip service.

If the Israeli people decide to follow the road Mr. Netanyahu and his fascist accomplices are on, then they should bear the consequences of their decisions. If that is the path they choose to be on…no problem. However, that being the case, Israel and her people no longer can expect the same unconditional support of the Europeans and Americans as they have enjoyed for the last 65 years. The Western countries will have no choice but to re-think, re-assess and
re-calibrate their foreign policies to fit the behaviour of the State of Israel. The Israeli people have a choice to make. A choice between a policy of peace and a policy of perpetual unrest and violence.

The American tax payer is presently subsidizing the Israeli war machine in the tune of $3 billion per year. In the current shape of the American economy I don’t think this can continue nor can it be justified to the American people; especially when Netanyahu style of intransigence does not show any signs of receding or improving.

The western leadership and more specifically the American government should make it perfectly clear to Mr. Netanyahu and his right wing Gestapo Party; that unless they stop this extremist “in-your-face” attitude towards the peace process, the consequences will be theirs to bear and theirs alone. Embarrassing American politicians and diplomats [as happened with VP Biden] who are there to negotiate a peace treaty –and may I add, at the request of the Israelis – is not a sensible idea.

There is no doubt that militarily speaking the crazies of Hamas, Hezbollah and the other fringe parties in the Palestinian camp are no match for the Israeli military machine. But then again, one has to ask, how long are the Israeli people willing to continue to suffer casualties –a few dead here and a few dead there? How long are they willing to watch their citizens being killed by a rocket here and a rocket there? A suicide bomber here and a suicide bomber there?

Palestinians have proven to be as resilient a people as the Israelis. They are a determined people, who are constantly chiselling away at the Israeli society a chip hear and a chunk there. Remember how the Berlin wall fell. Started with a chisel. A chip here and a chunk there until it came crumbling down. The world eventually said “enough is enough…” to communism. I think they are about to say “…enough is enough…” to Israel. I hope my Jewish friends you make the right decision and prove me and many like me wrong.
