WILLIAM COOK: Both Democrats and Republicans take the same positions on the ME and Israel
by WILLIAM A. COOK, counterpunch.org
cannot the fourth largest military in the world, defending a population of five million, care for itself against a population that has no army, air force, or navy but only the stones created by the demolition of homes by the IDF? And should we, after all, pay for the removal of the Gaza settlements as Sharon has requested after we paid for them to be built in the first place despite whispering to Sharon that he should cease building them? After fifty-seven years of support to the 16th wealthiest nation in the world, couldn't America consider cutting off its payments? Shouldn't some time be given to calculate the cost of our invasion and occupation of Iraq as it was done on behalf of Israel according to the Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, Phillip Zelikow. Since we demanded that the UN take decisive action against one nation, Iraq, for defying 16 of its Resolutions, should we continue to support a nation that defies 155 of them? Since we demand that all nations discontinue development of nuclear weapons or destroy those they possess, shouldn't we consider demanding the same of Israel that has in excess of 200? Fair is fair after all.
