...that's the title of a youtube video featuring Norman....so I was thrilled to open and see.....he said that the last most recent visit by Netanyahu to Obama came about because Democrats up for re-election were concerned because some once-ardent Israeli supporters were beginning to question the benefits of Israel to American foreign policy, and so some mending of fences had to take place, so the Dems could get campaign donations from rich Jews....I'm sorry but this rings false.

Yes, it is about money...this entire country has become about money...it's all we think of...but it isn't about money in the form of campaign donations, from rich Jews or anyone else. And the "policy" which America's relation with Israel serves is not foreign but domestic....because this money comes from our Treasury, and not from campaign donors...and it doesn't go to foreigners but to American/Israeli war corporations....to be exact, 1.2 trillion dollars in military junk dumped on Israel for the trumped up cause of defending Jews from Arabs.....sound familiar?...because we've also paid out a few trillion to save Americans and Europeans from Arabs....and, we are told, it is to be "never-ending"...just what every capitalist dreams of.

To hear all this you'd think that recent history was filled with nothing but wars waged by Arabs against America and Europe and Asia and Africa and Latin America and Mars, if they could only get there. But that isn't what history shows..in fact it's the exact opposite, meaning it is the Christian West which has been waging unending wars against people of color. This is the Armenian Genocide Syndrome at work again....it is Christians who have been attacking and attacking and Muslims who've been taking and taking until the point came when some could take no more and retaliated as best as they could, and then THEIR religion was accused of being prone to violence etc and THEY became the war-mongers supreme.....and as "evidence" the West showed the world the "attacks" made against it, ignoring that these attacks came only after the West had indulged in decades of worry-free abuse and murder of Muslims. Instead of asking why Muslims should all of a sudden attack the West, we are told that they were "always like that"....but they were not. It took Western aggression over time to inspire this feeble resistance, a resistance which still has to be fought with weapons made in the West and purchased from the West, or improvised from whatever is at hand...the paucity of munitions manufacturing in Muslim countries does not indicate a very war-like people.

On the contrary, it is the Christian West which has been preparing for and waging war for decades and has the munitions capacity to show for it...not to mention the politicians who act as the sales force which brings in the immense profits.

I hoped Finklestein would address this issue in the video and not the usual "they want campaign donations"...yes, sure that's a bit of money, but nothing compared to the profits from war and war equipment...that's the real benefit of Israel to America.
