Shifting Values and the New Barbarism - International Peace/War

Would it be surprising if individuals from a common background shared similar values, views and similar approaches to problem solving? Not surprising in the least, the similarities would be expected – and so it is. The men mentioned above share a propensity for extremely violent solutions, disdain for the ‘other’ and a fanatical (pathological) belief that their way is the best way for all! – the historical record bears this out. The common background referred to is the violent, exclusivist, barbaric ideology of Judaism. The above mentioned individuals claim membership in God’s chosen tribe; the God of genocide and socio-pathology, the Torah bears this out.

The Washington Zionists have succeeded in momentarily hijacking the reigns of power in the USA. The traditional peacekeeping role of the U.S. in the Middle East has been abandoned by the neocons who have adopted the ideology of the Washington Zionists. The new warfare ‘principles’ have also been incorporated in the PNAC strategy and are now characteristic of American invasive warfare.

Today’s rabid Israeli overkill tactics would never have been tolerated by the international community without prior ‘softening’; the illegal invasion, subsequent civilian death toll and ensuing chaos in Iraq served to increase the public’s tolerance for criminal warfare – a convenient coincidence? Not likely, the chief instigators and architects of the illegal Iraq invasion were Perle and “bunch of flowers”, Wolfowitz!

Welcome to the new barbarism of the twenty-first century, the age of ‘might is right’ and to hell with morals, ethics and everything that once identified us as civilised societies! The ‘new’ warfare is characterised by the use of overwhelming force, fast and debilitating attacks on essential infrastructure and a diminished regard for innocent civilian casualties (including children).

Experience has taught us that the neocons, Islamists and Israelis share the rabid diseases of intractability and fanaticism. They also find commonality in a shared disregard for the sanctity of (human) life; they delight in the psychopathology of inflicting violence and death. It is their attitude to non-combatants and the young that reveals their true nature.

Constantly warring Semitic groups inculcate hate in their children in a vain effort to survive an ‘eye for an eye’ conflict, which is actually a formula for sustained aggression and eventual annihilation. Self-centred, self-serving, primitive, barbaric religious ideologies are no longer tenable in today’s very cramped world. We therefore continue to appeal to the leaders of the warring parties to cease hostilities. Attempts to eliminate an organisation that maintains a presence in numerous regions and nations is impossible, as is the notion that the State of Israel will be ‘wiped off the map’ in the near future.

The real legacy of the present conflict is a worldwide increase in terrorism, an increase in attacks against Jews (globally) and another generation of Jews and Arabs terrified of their neighbours. The ramifications of the non-interventionist policy of the U.S. in a crisis situation will inevitably affect international relations and American foreign policy for a considerable period.

The world is now witness to a divorced from reality or callous sociopath, George W Bush; his televised reference to the tragedy in Lebanon as “shit” betrays a delinquent irresponsibility and failure to grasp the horrid reality of war. We would all remind the American President that the world does not equate young lives with “shit”, nor does it consider the tragedy and horror of war as flippant political theatre.

“Sufficient unto the day“, Mr Bush – you are a lying, murdering vandal and hypocrite, need I remind you that your God “is not mocked”.
