The "Jewish lobby" - The tail and the dog, but WHO is REALLY wagging WHO? Yes, the US corporate military-industrial complex has had a long-term intertwining with the government of Israel - and part of the mechanism of that relationship, are the people who comprise what is described as the "Jewish lobby". Money goes to US politicians, who then loudly proclaim their "total support" for the state of Israel - which actually means military and political support for the GOVERNMENT of Israel. Let's analyse this a bit further. Very pointedly, US "support for Israel" is NOT a promise to protect all the Jews. Not the Jews in Israel, not the Jews in the US, nor anywhere else. The US has a government budget of about 2.9 trillion US dollars, a total economy of about 12.4 trillion US dollars. The rich corporations whose revenues dominate within those figures, can (and do) buy anything they want in the US government. It is quite impossible for the state of Israel and its supporters - or indeed all the Jews in the world put together - to out-spend the US corporations that purchase and own US politicians and judges. The US corporations get what they want, period. Outsiders only get to bribe and play if they have permission from the US corporate owners. Furthermore, regarding Israel: Most non-Jews have very little idea of the enormous conflicts and divisions within Israeli society, and how most Jews in Israel view their own government and leaders as corrupt. This doesn't just refer to the current crop of Israeli leaders - about three-quarters of Israelis think their entire group of political leaders, from all the major parties, are corrupt. Israel has elections, but Israelis have come to feel that the politicians of all major parties are dishonest, or will become dishonest as they get into power. It is a common matter of Israeli conversation and despair. And some Israelis are increasingly feeling that they are being manipulated by their own political leaders who purposefully foster a climate of war and terror and are sabotaging the chances for peace. If you don't believe me, I invite you to take a couple of weeks and read some of the daily press and commentary from Israel, some of which is available online and in English, such as the very accessible Haaretz website. After a few days you will have a better picture of what Israelis think of their rulers. (It is actually pretty refreshing reading, in that the Israeli press comes off as much more direct and confrontational, than the American press that is so servile to the US government.) Now think about this - If the Israeli government is corrupt, who would be corrupting it? Who has the most money in the world, for the purpose of corrupting the Israeli government? You're starting to get the idea. Just consider the possibility that the Israeli politicians might be selling themselves to the Americans. Consider how the US spends trillions of dollars on defence and weapons systems, an extremely profitable business. The US needs war and conflict, however, to justify spending that money, while tens of millions of Americans go without medical care and other necessities of life. The US blocks peace in the Middle East, because the US government thinks war and instability are good for profit and US dominance. The US may well be buying and manipulating the Israeli government as one of their tools - it would only be logical and profitable to do so, in order to create conflict that is desired by US leaders. If the US politicians are loudly proclaiming support for the Israeli GOVERNMENT - and the Israeli government, despised by the Israeli people, is on the US payroll - all that the US politicians are really doing, is proclaiming support for themselves and their hirelings, and for the US military and defence establishment. "Support for Israel" is merely temporary support for whatever is the current sales programme to maximise the profits of the US corporations and armaments companies, nothing more. The story of the "power of the Jewish lobby" is really a clever deception, which feeds the ego of a few Jewish figures while serving US corporate interests. The US rulers allow this story as part of the set-up, so the corporations can later "blame the Jews" for problems. The US corporations have intentionally created this illusion of "powerful Jews" - they have encouraged this story, and propped up a few "Jewish spokesmen" and "influential Jews", only because it is temporarily in their interests to do so. The pat theory of the "Jewish lobby" is that "the tail is wagging the dog" - with Israel as the tail and the big rich US as the dog. But this doesn't make sense; the big rich dog wouldn't allow this, unless it wanted some wagging to take place. The owners of US corporations are at the apex of their history of control in America, and they do not give up that control lightly. The only reason there seems to be a "powerful Jewish lobby" is that the US corporations find that a convenient story to tell - a story that can be used to shift blame at a later date. When policies have clearly failed and it's time for a change, the Jews can be blamed instead of the ruling US corporations. The fear of the truth; and the great danger to Jews inside the US Just like with Americans having a hard time waking up to the full truth about the US going fascist and losing its freedoms - Jews are also having a hard time waking up to the horrifying truth about their situation, in both Israel and the US. And the situation is one of grave danger for all Jews, and for Israel and its neighbours, as Israel is pushed into more wars by the US master. Increasingly, Israelis are realising that they and the Palestinians are equally pawns in the most wicked of all imperial games. An interesting point, which most of the world doesn't know, is that there is NO TREATY of defence or other support for Israel by the US government. It is all seat-of-the-pants, day-by-day stuff. The US can pull the plug on Israel tomorrow. And actually, it likely WILL pull the plug on Israel before too long. An upcoming attack on Iran - the US and Israel acting together, or Israel doing the "dirty work" at US bidding - may very well be the "last rodeo" of the US-Israel military partnership. This partnership has run a long time, for several decades - but as many Jews now can see, the end may not be far away. Many Jews are already terribly in fear - the US is visibly getting ready to "blame the Jews" for its foreign policy failings and disasters of the past decade. The US politicians will likely end up very effectively "blaming the Jews" for the whole catastrophe of the Iraq war and the consequent bankruptcy of the US treasury. You can see this from the way that the US corporate media is beginning to pump out much more prominent stories about the "power of the Jewish lobby". Major US political leaders, like former President Jimmy Carter - long tied to the US corporations via the Trilateral Commission and other means - are beginning to come out with much more direct and blunt attacks on Israel, the "Jewish lobby" and Israeli policies. These are not random, unconnected events; things like this in the US corporate media, reflect the policies of the corporations who OWN the media - and these are the same corporations who control the US government itself. It's always good to beware of any story being "pushed" by major US political figures or corporate media. Jews can, at least subconsciously, feel what is happening. This is part of why Jews are afraid to help other Jews attacked by the US government. They do not want to be next in line for being victimised. The US runs on racism and bigotry as the active operational technique of the maintenance of government power, always trying to make its core of working white people hate some other group - the blacks, the Mexicans, the Muslims, the gays, the secularists, and very soon, the Jews. Racism and bigotry are the classic techniques for distracting people from the real enemy, in this case the owners of the corporations who control nearly all major aspects of US society. These schemes of bigotry work very well, and can be repeated endlessly, just changing the colour of the target every now and then. The propaganda of anti-semitism, is perhaps the most ancient and deeply-rooted of all the kinds of bigotry. Somewhat amazingly, even people who are themselves victims of the US government system, are still so influenced by such propaganda, that even some of these victims find it hard to accept that the US government would attack and threaten to kill someone of Jewish heritage. This underscores the great danger for Jews, in the months ahead when the US rulers finally decide it has become the moment, to make Jews the next new target of hatred for the American public. It is also a new opportunity for peace in the Middle East and in the world, as Jews realise that they too are yet another class of victims of the US ruling powers. So with the anti-semitic attacks and the threats to kill me that I suffered inside the US, with Bush's friends making a quite specific focus on my Jewish heritage, that was likely just some early target practice for a bigger campaign against US Jews in the years ahead. Jews are, in the end, like all other people - another target of malice from an extremist US regime.  Dr Les Sachs is the first US citizen received as a political refugee in Western Europe.
