anders:while there are other bullies in the school yard, the SOTT team focuses on the main bully, as no-one else dares to speak about that one without (deliberately) muddling it up into a jewish issue.
thanks - that's the best answer to my original question. :) [why a timeline of zionist terror?]
I'm grateful for the responses - but I am familiar with much of it, and my reasoning and arguments persist. I'm left thinking about when somebody disagrees with you - about how easy it is to imagine they couldn't possibly be aware of the same facts, the same arguments that have led yourself to your own conclusion?
It's just perspective, isn't it? None of the arguments presented, or that I've seen (countless times) elsewhere convince me that "Israel controls USA", or zionism does, or any such thing.
Obviously Israel/zionism/jews have some influence on american policy - the different groups in different ways. Especially over their obvious interests - israel/zionism whatever.
However, as my original question said "Why a ZIONIST terror timeline?" if, at most, Israel exercises control over USA in regards to MidEastern policy only, I am left wondering why such a noise about Israel influencing US policy in the first place? The USA acts so similarly elsewhere and in the past.
So what is it that the Israeli'/zionist persuasion is actually doing when all that is achieved is an american middle eastern policy that looks like american and imperial policy most anywhere else?
If american policy over Israel were in anyway anti-thetical or contradictory to american policy elsewhere in the world - then the argument might have some weight?
From that perspective - and considering the belligerence and prevalence of imperial america across the world and into space - and from the perspective that america is ostensibly democratic then I have to say that anders' quote should be speaking about america.
So while there are other bullies in the school yard, the SOTT team focuses on the main bully, as no-one else dares to speak about that one without (deliberately) muddling it up into a jewish issue.
From my perspective concentrating on the zionist/israeli issues IS just muddling it up into 'a jewish issue'.
For one thing - if zionism/israeli influence only really effects USA policy over MiddleEast, then even 'perfectly fixing' the Israeli/Zionist issues (however done) will only effect USA policy in the MiddleEast? The USA is already doing what it likes elsewhere, as Israeli/zionism isn't interested, apparently.
So we would still be left with the USA behaving just as it is now everywhere else. So, even with the 'zionism thing' sorted out, one would presume american policy in the middle east to quite quickly change to reflect the new reality. Seems reasonable to assume american policy in the middle east would revert back to its more usual "un-influenced" approach? We could expect US ME policy to reflect her policy elsewhere?
So rather than have a close relationship with Israel/zion, america might find a middle eastern Indonesia, and another E Timor? How about Turkey? Does it matter that turks are a bit different to jews, and kurds a bit different to palestinians?
I guess that's the nub of my issue with the focus on Israel/Zionism. It doesn't address the root causes at all. (IMO :)) How can it when it leaves so much else untouched, unchanged and unexplained?
But - that is just my opinion. Hell! I understand people disagree but it seems a little ingracious to suggest I must be 'an agent of ADL' - Ah well - I suppose I understand. do you really think they'd pay for me for writing this stuff? lol
