Comments on: Using The Tools https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/01/05/using-the-tools/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:18:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/01/05/using-the-tools/comment-page-1/#comment-41939 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:18:39 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=7271#comment-41939 If the US government wants to send a message, all it has to do is nothing about a new ambassador to Israel. Withdraw the current ambassador and let the post sit empty.

If they ask, the best response would be “We don’t have anyone in Israel we can talk to”. That has the side benefit of being true, because there is no obvious leader in Israel at the moment.

I think its a question of whether we’re going to figure it out by ourselves and try to support a more sensible I/P policy or the creeping irrelevance of the US is going to make our jumping when Israel barks less effective.

I think a declining economy will also have an impact on how much foreign aid we give out — at least I hope so. Though we’ll probably cut off valuable programs long before we give up one missile going to Israel.

I saw this comment that I felt was reasonably accurate on Al Jazeera on the post about Obama taking the easy out.

Dan Molnar (Jan 5 2009)

Which came first, Israel occupation or Palestinian resistance? The US economy is drained by needles wars caused by Israel refusal to accept UN resolution 242, / Geneva accord etc.. The American public gets 99% of its information filtered through an exceedingly pro-Israeli media lens;( complements of AIPAC/ Zionist/ neo cons); see: Richard Falk: “Understanding the Gaza Catastrophe” not anti semetic see http://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/publish/ The AIPAC group also brought you the Iraq war, etc.

And, I guess we’ll see how accurate this comment is:

Tevye (Jan 5 2009)

Obama is just another Zionist tool, bowing to his AIPAC puppet masters.

Whatever, get ready for a very bumpy ride.
