THE narrative runs that Israel is key to U.S. interests in the Middle East and, by extension, to those of Britain and Europe.
Prof. Jean Bricmont and Diana Johnstone write on Global Research that Israel is of no strategic, military or economic value to the U.S. because there are enough American military bases and fleets in the area to handle any kind of military needs without using Israel, and money only flows in one direction: towards Israel.
Retired U.S. Colonel Douglas MacGregor is also of the view that Israel is nothing but a chronic liability for his country, which only serves to antagonise America’s relations with the Arab states, Iran and Turkey. So what motivates the West to sink ever deeper into pariah status in its defence of the indefensible?
Referring to Israel’s ongoing slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, British journalist and author Owen Jones said: “Western governments have openly facilitated some of the worst crimes of our age. I don’t think the West is ever going to recover from this.”
American journalist Alison Weir, author of Against Our Better Judgement: How the U.S. was used to create Israel, explains how important it is to examine why the West is taking such irrational, immoral, and self-destructive actions.
The answer is that the U.S., Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Europe in general, are under the pervasive and extremely powerful influence of the pro-Israel Lobby.
