Why America loves Israel and hates Iran

By announcing fresh sanctions against Iran the UN Security Council has once again displayed a kind of motivated obstinacy which makes one suspect that it is not really serious about establishing peace in the region. But then the UN rarely exudes neutrality. It has always been subservient to American interests, particularly the pro-Israel US foreign policy that has kept West Asia on the boil ever since the creation of the Zionist state.
On the face of it, it may appear strange that the US-controlled Security Council should let go of the historic opportunity offered by the Turkish-Brazilian initiative to amicably resolve the Iran imbroglio. But West Asia watchers know that US response to Iran’s nuclear program cannot be seen in isolation because it is dictated by the US-Israeli relationship which again is not a mere political alliance but a symbiotic bond firmly secured by Judeo-Christian theology.
An analysis of the U.S. political scene would reveal that it is the Evangelical Right, also known as the Christian Zionists, led by extremist televangelists such as John Hagee, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, who, along with the Jewish lobby, call the shots, in so far as the U.S. Middle East policy is concerned. It must, however, be said that mainstream Christianity (including the Catholic Church) does not identify itself with the fanatical beliefs of Evangelical Right such as those discussed below.

In a recent article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz titled Why Christian Zionists really support Israel Hagee wrote; “Our support for Israel starts with God’s promises in the Hebrew Bible, but it does not end there. Christian Zionists recognize that we owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the Jewish people. As I have stressed to my Christian audiences for years: If you take away the Jewish contribution to Christianity, there would be no Christianity.” (http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/why-christian-zionists-really-suppor...).
By “God’s promises” Hagee is actually referring to the deliberate misrepresentations of certain biblical verses. One such verse promises Prophet Abraham and his descendants the land “from the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18). In another one God offers to give Abraham and his “seed” after him the entire land of Canaan (Palestine) “for an everlasting possession” (Genesis 17:8). It may be noted here that according to the Old Testament the Arabs and the Jews are the descendants of Abraham through Ishmael and Isaac respectively which, hypothetically speaking, makes them the joint owners of the “promised land.”
But for obvious reasons the Zionists and their Christian supporters do not recognise Ishmael as the legitimate son of Abraham as he was born to a “slave woman” named Hagar, the handmaiden of Sarah, the first wife of Abraham and the mother of Isaac (Genesis 16:1-6). This divide was further aggravated by St.Paul who advised the Christians saying, “Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born in the ordinary way [Ishmael] persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit [Isaac]. It is the same now. But what does the Scripture say? ‘Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.’” (Galatians 4:28-31).
It is therefore the belief of the Christians Zionists that the occupation of all Arab lands by the Jews (in fulfillment of the prophesy in Genesis 15:18), after driving out the children of the “slave woman”, is a prelude to the Second Coming of Christ and Armageddon, the biblical concept of the last battle between the Good and the Evil before the day of Judgment (Ezekiel 38-39). It is in this context that the US attitude to Iran must be seen and understood, and once again John Hagee personifies this extremist mindset. In his provocative book Jerusalem Countdown Hagee advocates a war on Iran saying; “The rise of terrorism in our world and the emerging crisis in the Middle East between Israel and Iran are part of a much bigger picture – that of God’s plan for the future of Israel and the entire world. We are going to discover we are facing a countdown in the Middle East – the Jerusalem Countdown, a battle such as the world has never seen or will ever see again.”
But what many Israelis are unaware of is that the Zionist Christians are not exactly honest in their support for their country. They have their own hidden religious agenda according to which, Jesus in his second mission will convert all the Jews to Christianity, and therefore, to hasten this process all must be done to help the Jews take over the Arab lands between Nile and Euphrates. This belief is based on a statement in Mathew 23:39 in which Jesus is quoted as saying, “For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’” As Jesus was speaking to a Jewish audience at that time the Zionist Christians interpret this statement as having one meaning: for Jesus to make a second appearance all Jews must be converted to Christianity.
No wonder Hagee was forced to clarify in his aforementioned article that, “I am not at all surprised that many in the Jewish community are skeptical of Christian support for Israel. Some worry that our efforts are motivated by a desire to convert Jews. Others posit that our Zionism is tied to an effort to speed the second coming of Jesus. Both of these allegations are flat wrong. All we ask of our Jewish friends is that they get to know us before they judge us harshly on the basis of myths such as these.”
It is a strange paradox that, on the one hand we have the Christian Zionists supporting Israel with financial, moral and military aid in the dogmatic hope of one day converting all the Jews to Christianity, and on the other, we see the cunning Zionists - who never accepted Jesus as their Messiah - successfully manipulating the Christian Right using their own Bible to further their diabolical expansionist agenda. The ultimate victims of this unholy scheming between two Machiavellian religious groups are the innocent Palestinians who have been rendered refugees in their own homeland.

What about kashmiri pundits
I don't understand why muslims of the whole world are concerned about palestine.Why they are not bothered about kashmiri pandits being displaced from thier own homes forcefully.The problem is that muslims don't have introspection capability...ulta chor kotwal ko daate
Arreee,phir se 'meri murgi
Arreee,phir se 'meri murgi ki ek taang' attitude.Kashmiri muslims have time and again welcomed Pandits to return to valley.Kashmir is a land of ISLAMIC sufi saints,and it is due to them that pandits were living in valley peacefully till the GOI,Jagmohan provoked insurgency there.In your very own brahman media ,it has been reportd numerous times that muslims in srinagar and elsewhere have helped the Pandits in restoring their temples,also Hurriyat does not issue venomous statements against non-muslims there,quite opposite to wghat ur dear brahman orgs like VHP,RSS,BD, do against minorities.
Tell me one incident in your homeland Israel where in your Israeli govt. has called palestinians back to their homes,instead it has demolished and only demolished.
Has any gujarati hindu helped muslims after riots.No.
So, i think u must have got the difference between the generosity of Kashmiri muslims and the barbarity of ur Israeli and Gujrati brothers.If not take sanyas and go to your homeland ISRAEL and never return to INDIA which BELONGS TO DALITS+MUSLIMS+OBCs+other oppressed nationalities.Already half the indian brahmins must be having green cards so it must be quite easier with the support of AIPAC to get the ISRAHELLI citizenship.
Israel is a Brahmin but Iran is a harijan
Israel is the only regime that has violated more than 60 resolutions of the UN Security council, the UN Charter, ICCPR, ICESCR and Geneva Conventions.
Israel is the only one in the whole West Asian region which has the possession of over 200 thermo-nuclear weapons. It has neither signed NPT( but Iran has) nor allowed weapons inspection( Iran has allowed) despite the UNSC resolution 687 of 1991 which call for West Asia Free from Nuclear weapons and WMD. It has a long record of uprooting Palestinians (about 7 million refugees) occupying all their territories in 1967.
The UN report has accused Israel of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Why does the world community ( read the US) allow Israel to stand above the law. The Managing Director of German Branch of International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms Reiner Braun said on 13/04/ 2010, that there is no substantial evidence that Iran is having a nuclear weapons programme. There are only unproven allegations against Iran
Israel is the 51st State of the USA. Israel is fast becoming an “untouchable nation” like South Africa before the final collapse of apartheid. No one except the US accepts the legitimacy of Israel’s settlement growth and brutal occupation policies uprooting Palestinians, dispossessing them.
Isreal has become more reactionary, inward looking and has built a police state waging unending war against its neighbours. Britain has warned the UK citizens not to surrender their passports to Israeli authorities as they may clone their passports to support illegal assassination activities.
Bibi and Lieberman are racists who have openly advocated executing Arab Knesset members and drowning Palestinian prisoners in the dead seas. Once Lieberman called for bombing Aswan dam to punish the Egyptians. In spite of all these, the US considers Israel as a western style democracy.
Because Iran is trying to arm taliban fighters
The news is that Iran trying to arm Afghan resistance bothers the Americans very much. It is an excellent move if the news is true?
What is wrong in Iran arming Afghan resistance fighters and insurgents? Was not the USA doing it in Afghanistan when the Russians brutes were occupying Afghanistan, Reagan then equated the Northern Alliance and the Talibans with the American freedom fighters.
Was not China helping Vietnam when the American brutes were occupying Vietnam and killing millions under the pretext of fighting communism as if communism was an immoral devil?
Take the fresh case of the CIA Agent Abdolmalek Rigi, the ring leader of Jundallah who was fighting a terrorist war against Iran and he has been captured by Iran and he has confessed that the US Admin has assured him unlimited military aid and funding for waging an insurgency against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The US sows the wind and reaps the whirlwind, The U.S.A. has one policy for Whites and another one for non-Whites, two hypocritical standards. They thrive on hypocrisy. The end to this filthy American game is a long way to go.
REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN.
Disunity among the Ummah is very dangerous and it may provide a
murderous opportunity for the adversaries to add fuel to the fire.
After all, Ahmedinejad had not been a corrupt, incompetent or an
immoral ruler. He has scored more than pass mark (I will give him a Merit Pass) There is no hard evidence to prove that the recent election was a farce.
Try to go back to the earliest time of Islamic history when Khalifa Uthman ibn Affan (ra) was assassinated and when Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) assumed the leadership of the nation of Islam.
The cunning Muawiyah and his group wanted the culprits, who planned and executed the assassination to be caught and punished as soon as possible, but Ali (ra) wanted to concentrate on the peace, unity and administration of the Ummah, but his adversaries were stubborn and had a political axe to grind. This led to the weakening and disintegration of the Nation of Islam. Did Islam gain by this sort of rationalistic freedom?
This is exactly what may happen in Iran if the followers of Mousavi pursued their selfishness and greed for political power. They may play into the hands of the enemies of Iran who have been waiting for a pretext and an opportunity to destabilize the nation and in the process help the ambitions of the greatest enemy of Islam (Israel).
For the sake of saving the millions of innocent people of a Muslim nation, at times we have to forgive and forget the shortcomings of our leaders and rulers rather than trying to change the regime, create massive anarchy ( look at Afghanistan) by getting help from insincere and manipulating Non-Muslim world powers.
Iraq is right in front of our eyes. Tens of thousands of People like me hated Saddam Hussein and went to the extent of morally co-operating with his opponents and dissidents in seeking help to punish and execute Saddam and overthrow his administration (Remember Dr. Ahmed Chalabi and gang). What were the consequences?
But right now the same people feel the foolishness, naivety and
immaturity of such political thinking and wish if only Saddam had
remained in power and we could have saved the deaths of about 12
lakh Iraqis and about 40 lakh people becoming refugees, over 6 lac widows and about 5 lakh orphans and the nation going to the dogs. Who was responsible for this tragedy?
Case Two: Afghanistan: Islam was trying hard to destroy group loyalty and tribalism, but the people of Afghan gave importance to their tribes: Pushtu, Hazar, Tajik, Uzbeks, Turkmen, Kyrgyzs etc, and their leaders like Burhanuddin, Ahmed Mashod, Hikmatyar and others could have reconciled for the sake of the unity of the nation and Ummah but ego and greed for political power corrupted them and brought horrendous bloodshed, devastation and sufferings to the millions of innocent people and brought a shame to Islam in the world.
In conclusion I will say that we have to be patient, pray hard and
should not try to create anarchy and confusion in Muslim societies for the sake of political power. There are hard lessons for the Indian Muslims from these tragedies. United we stand and divided we fall.
Let us wait until Allah swt Bring about a change in leadership
Because Iranian Revolution was Islamic, not a military junta
It is partly true that the arab monarchs think that Israel and the US can save their crowns and their political domination, but for how long.
The US is interested in controlling the resources of the Middle East so they help the monarchs to hold their unpopular power. But the US does not mind change in regime say in saudi Arabia or Kuwait for that matter if someone like Husni Mubaruk should come to power.
In the case of Iran the US was supporting and propping up the horrible playboy Shah(the King) of Iran simply because he toed the american line. If Iranians had brought up an un-Islamic revolution, or un-Islamic Military Junta to power as it happened during the time of Suharto's Indonesia, they would have danced with the Iranians.
The US does not care an iota who rules a third world nation( even the worst Islamic fundamentalists such as Saudi Arabia), as long as the political decision makers listen to the White House, but for propaganda purposes it is better if it is a sort of democracy like that of Singapore, South Korea or Pakistan, but much better if it is the most corrupt autocrats like Husni Mubaruk.
American foreign policy thrives on double standard in which no one can beat the American politicians. Majority americans care about domestic policies and their bread and butter, american atrocities around the world is not their concern.
Further clarification:
"One such verse promises Prophet Abraham and his descendants the land “from the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18). In another one God offers to give Abraham and his “seed” after him the entire land of Canaan (Palestine) “for an everlasting possession” (Genesis 17:8)."
It must be understood that the "Arabs" living today in the mentioned areas are in fact the descendants of both Ishmael and Isaac, and Islam has homogenized them. Palestinians are the genetic descendants of the ancient Hebrews. The Jews today settling in the Palestine are actually descendants of converts to Judaism (Judaism was a missionary religion in the past like Christianity) and hence this promise does not apply to them at all. So it is a misinterpretation of scriptures that is the vehicle for this propaganda.
