The New Axis of Evil

It was planned a year ago with the full knowledge of the Pentagon and various other neocon insiders in Washingtom D.C. Israel only needed to wait for some convenient provocation as an excuse to destroy Lebanon. Unfortunately, Hezbollah provided the arrogant, aggressive army next door with an incentive to unleash the fury of it's American made, American paid for arsenal.

The pogrom, against the population of Lebanon and the beleaguered Palestinains walled off in the Gaza Ghetto and the West Bank, was to last a full three weeks, twenty-one days during which Arab civilians would be murdered with impunity and the entire societal infastructure within Lebanon destroyed. Three weeks in which NO CEASE-FIRE was to be brokered by the United States, Britian, or Israel. It's a four week war now.

CEASE-FIRE was to be resisted by the American Secretary of State who complied all too willingly as hundreds continued to die. Simultaneously, Israel's pre-planned propaganda blitz pounded the American public into conspiratorial compliance. The message: some Semites are SUPERIOR to other Semites. George Orwell, in "Animal Farm" put it thus, "Four legs good. Two legs bad."

If one was to believe the very limited, very controlled, slanted news sources in the United States and Britian, one would come to the same conclusions as the fanatic regime of Likud Zionists who were elected by the Israeli People: Israel is the center of the Universe therefore; Arab lives are worth less than Jewish lives.

Lebanon's flegdling democracy was to have it's wings cut for it is easier to cage a bird that can no longer fly. So much better for the planned occupation and annexation of Lebanon by Israel. The plan, unfolding before our eyes, is being implemented with a nod and a wink from Bush's Christian-Zionist alliance and Britian's conservative twinkie, the crusading pixie, Tony Blair.

Several days into Israel's violent three-week Prime Time Event, it was evident that Lebanon was on the receiving end of a punishing demonstration of tactical terrorism. Who blows up a milk factory and why? Perhaps, Hezbollah was not to have any milk with it's cookies! Strangely, food processing and pharmaceutical plants were destroyed as well...no milk for the children, no food for panicked families to eat, and no medicine to treat the wounded and the sick - all part of Israel's planned castigation of the Lebanese people.

No jobs to sustain a population, no homes to return to, no electricity, all types of communication facilities destroyed - telephone centers, television stations, radio broadcast towers, and even cell phone towers all demolished by the Israeli Defence Forces. Lebanese families were totally cut off from one another while trying to escape the IDF assualt on roads that were blown to pieces!

It seems a Hezbollah rocket was hidden in every one of the thousands of apartments that Israel reduced to dusty piles of rubble. Roads, bridges, factories by the dozens, electrical plants, houses, fishing boats, resturants, schools, and entire villages were, like the violent threat preferred by so many Americans, "bombed back into the Stone Age."

Hey, how about that Israeli flyboy who blew a hole right in the middle of the red cross marking a Lebanese ambulance? You know what they say, "the Geneva Conventions and UN resolutions and sanctions don't apply to Israel because as a nation populated by choosen people it is above international law." Evidently it's only a war crime if it is committed against an Israeli. Anyone else, any where in the world, is fair game for pre-emptive invasions, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.

Israel's war plan to seize Lebanon (and maybe attack Syria and Iran, too) and the continued victimization of both the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples is diabolical. That the United States and Britain have supported this action is contemptuous. The US even rushed more bombs to Israel to help them destroy Lebanon - for free - they don't pay for it - American taxpayers do! What we, in America are a part of, and what we are seening on our televison screens is not, "the birth pangs of a new Middle East" it is the rise of a new Axis of Evil - Olmert's Israel, Blair's Britian, and Bush's United States!

Israel has a right to defend itself? Peru has a right to defend itself. Malaysia has a right to defend itself. Tajikistan has a right to defend itself. Canada, Mali, Jorden, India, Cuba, Latvia, Greece, Guatamala, China, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Namibia, Trinidad, Russia, Bolivia, Vietnam, Romania, Sweden, Syria, Italy, Slovakia, Ghana, and Liechtenstein ALL have the right to defend themselves. All people on earth, in all countries, have the right to defend themselves! The Palestinian people and Lebanon have the right to defend themselves.

Israel has pulled a Orwellian switch-a-roo on the word DEFENSE. The Israeli-speak definition of defense translates as OFFENSE with an emphasis on attack, annihilate, punish, murder, occupy, imprison, and control. It is fortunate, that the majority of the globe is populated by decent, civilized societies who choose not to practice the irresponsible, pre-emptive, militaristic methods of "defense" advanced by Israel, Britian, and the US.

The actions of "the New Axis of Evil" are endangering everyone in the Middle East, America, and Britian. My heart goes out to those in Israel, who like those of us here in the States, have worked endlessly to stop the madness of the Likud neoconservatives who have gained power in the governments of both the United States and Israel. Israeli peace activists and Refusniks are under fire in a war that they tried to prevent.

People (mostly women and children) in Iraq, and now Lebanon, have suffered enough from the murderous, militaristic misadventures of Olmert, Blair, and Bush. I am deeply grieved and greatly angered by Israel's racial-religious war against Lebanese Arabs and Christians alike. Israeli's ethnic cleansing of Lebanon must be stopped. As Americans we can say...

HELL NO! WE WON'T PAY!

NO MORE $! NO MORE PLANES, BOMBS, GUNS, BULLETS, DRONES, HOUSE-WRECKING BULLDOZERS, AND FOR DAMN SURE -

NO NUKES FOR ISRAEL!
