Watching Cavuto,
The Congressman Cantor was on and he began the segment by saying that Ahmadinejad denied the Holocaust."
All right, Stop. Look at that. This is not a crime. It is not a crime to be Anti-Semitic. But the reality of the situation is, he is Muslim, and if he is a fundamentalist, he believes Jews should Convert, pay alms or die. Not my words, Muhammad made me say it. It is in the Koran, over and over and over. However, while he is an Anti-Semite in certain ways, he can relax that persona when dealing with International issues.
This Holocaust denial is the Current Mainstream understanding of the problem of Iran as a burgeoning Nuclear power. They try to connect the dots and draw the lines and decide that Iran is funding all of the Mayhem.
No one understands that we have been in a debate for 58 years. since the creation of the Israeli State. For 58 years, the Arab world has viewed the Israeli state as a "State within a State" of Palestine. Back in the 40s Britain was in control of the "Palestinian lands" as a result of a League of Nations Mandate after World War I which gave Britain a protectorate over the valuable sliver and much of Jordan. The land came in handy when Britain needed to mount offensives against German and Italian Fascism... This League of Nations Mandate supposedly displaced a whole mess of Palestinians. It is a Historical fact, so let's not look around it. Let's just let that sink in real deep and accept that it happened, even if the reality is to the contrary that, like Aztlan in America, Palestine is a mythical notion. Much of that land was turned over to the current Israeli State in 1948. and at the time 83% of the inhabitants of the land were Jewish.
Now, Lebanon and Gaza and the West Bank and all of the lands considered Occupied in the History of the Israeli State by the Arab world are considered an insurgency of Colonialism and Western Imperialism by the United States and Britain (after all, they started it). This insurgency is a wedge in the Arab world, and that insurgent wedge's name is Zionist Imperialism. By supporting Israel, we are attempting to wield influence in the region and over trade policies.
The word Capitalism is translated (apparently) into Arabic as Imperialism. Never mind the fact that Imperialism is the door through which Fascism finances its armies in order to dominate their neighbors and steal and steal and steal. Never mind that the Term Fascism means National Socialism and the Nationalization of Oil fields and Industries which is a mainstay in the Arab world...might just mean that those Governments are all fascist. Never mind that Capitalism's goal is Free Trade, and Fascistic Imperialism's goal is slavery. The Arabs call us Imperialists. The South Americans call us Imperialists, while they nationalize their Oil Derricks. When liberals have a bone to pick with US foreign Policy, they call the United States an Imperialistic War-mongering Terrorist sponsoring state.
Strangely, of all of the radical looneys who seem to flaunt their ability to spin truth, Ahmadinejad has a case. We have to accept the fact that the reason we supported the Israeli state's creation is simply because it was an opportunity to make a big hit in the early Cold War against the USSR...we were sphere chasing in those days. Israel was a nice port to control in the Mediterranean of those days. Now, the question that needs to be asked is...even though it was a government supported for the purposes of sphere chasing...does Israel have the right to Exist, today?
It is not a question of whether or not the Holocaust happened. It is a question of whether the displaced Palestinians deserve the land or not. Personally, I believe once a country goes Nuclear, they need to remain a hegemony.
Ahmadinejad wants a debate.
Let's give him one. Anti-Zionism is Anti-Colonialism... Is Israel our Colony? Yes or No? The answer is No. Does Israel trade with the United States on a Contractual basis? The Answer is Yes. For Contractual Trade to be considered Imperialism is absolutely absurd and a Marxist Conjuring. To equate Capitalism to Imperialism is the equivalent of wanting to eat your cake and have it to.
Anti-Semitism is Racism against the Jewish People.
For any country or media or group to call the United States Imperialists after the Twentieth Century in which we fought the Fascist Imperialism of Spain, Italy, Japan, Germany, Russia, China, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq, in order to Free the people of those lands is nothing but a spit in the face of the American Soldier that fought and is still fighting for Freedom's Cause.
America is a Capitalist Republic Ahmadinejad. The Israelis are 28% PHDs and make good trade deals. Accept it. It is not imperialism, it is Capitalism.
You can't wipe out a country and its history, Ahmadinejad, just because you want to forget the fact that She wiped the floor with Arabs in every war it has ever fought. Sorry, Time is the Test, and Israel is here to stay. Zionism is a Cold War term. It is time to arrive in the Millenium Ahmadinejad. What disadvantage can the Israeli people truly bring to the region? What disruption, other than the Palestinian people?
Now, all Dictators need to recognize that a word's definition doesn't change because you want it to. Just because you are a Dictator of your people does not mean you can Dictate to me what the definition of a thing is.
The fact is, Americans are Capitalists. If you don't want to sell us oil. Don't sell us oil. What else has your country ever produced? What else has that region ever produced? The fact is, the reason Israel is dangerous in your estimation is because Creation of a Business has the Godlike power of allowing people to become independent and that terrifies you, and threatens your sensibilities as the sensitive dictator you are. Capitalism is Allah's chief Enemy on this planet, for there is no God more powerful than that which drives him from within when he decides to create. And Israel represents that to you. Israel represents the fact that something besides decay and destruction is possible for the human soul. That is terrifying to you, isn't it, Ahmadinejad?
Anti-Zionism is not Racism. Anti-Zionism is Anti-Capitalism in Anti-Imperialism's clothing.
